Here's what happened: In the morning, Lin Xingyao took some porridge to the hospital. She discovered that Huang's father's condition hadn't worsened at all; in fact, he was already able to speak fluently.

"Xingyao"

Huang Shaosong was taking care of his father, washing his face and wiping his hands. His father had just woken up.

How is Dad's health?

"I'm fine, how about An'an?"

Lin Xingyao was stunned for a moment when she heard Huang's father speak, then she became happy.

"Dad, it's great that you can talk. My mom is with An'an. She'll bring him over to see you after An'an finishes eating."

"it is good"

"Dad, I've cooked you some porridge, the temperature is just right. Would you like to eat it now, or wait a bit?"

"Eat now. Help me sit up, I'll eat by myself."

He was very hungry as soon as he woke up. He originally planned to wait for his son to wash his face before asking him to buy food from the hospital cafeteria.

"Dad, let me feed you," Huang Shaosong said.

Lin Xingyao ladled the porridge into a bowl and then peeled a boiled egg for Huang's father.

"Need not"

Mr. Huang took the porridge and started eating. In less than five minutes, he finished the bowl.

"Xingyao, is there any more? I'd like another bowl."

The porridge was delicious today; it made me feel so comfortable. It felt just like drinking water yesterday. I don't even need any other dishes; I can just eat plain porridge.

Xia Yichu wasn't here and didn't know what Huang's father was thinking. The water Lin Xingyao used to cook the porridge was Xia Yichu's spatial water—how could it not taste good!

A few days ago, Xia Yichu specially bought a large water vat. Before leaving, she filled the vat with water, thinking of giving it to Lin's mother and the others.

"have"

Lin Xingyao was stunned for a moment before taking the bowl from Huang's father. Her father-in-law didn't look like he was seriously ill today.

After a while, Mr. Huang finished the porridge and eggs that Lin Xingyao had brought, more than two bowls of porridge and two eggs.

"Dad, you rest for a while, I'm going out for a bit. Xingyao, please take care of Dad, I'll be right back."

Seeing his father eat so much, Huang Shaosong's heart sank. Could this be a final burst of energy before death?

"it is good"

Huang Shaosong went outside to calm down for a while before going to find a doctor to see his father, his eyes red.

"Xingyao, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."

"Okay."

Without needing any help, Mr. Huang lay down quickly and fell asleep in no time. Lin Xingyao collected Mr. Huang's bowl and spoon, intending to wash them later.

"Dad, Dad, what's wrong? Don't scare me, your son is late."

As Lin Xingyao turned to put down the bowl, Huang Shaosong walked in crying, calling for his father as he cried, followed by his father's attending physician. Lin Xingyao was startled and almost dropped the bowl in her hand.

"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to see An'an grow up? How could you just leave like this? You didn't even get to see An'an one last time, sob sob..."

Huang Shaosong buried his face in his father's arms and wept bitterly. Huang Shaogang then came over. Seeing his brother crying, he immediately knelt down and joined in the weeping.

Things happened so fast that Lin Xingyao didn't have time to react and watched helplessly as the two brothers wailed like they were in mourning in front of their father.

"Shaosong, Shaogang, Dad just..."

"Get up, don't press on my stomach, I just ate."

Mr. Huang complained that he had just fallen asleep when his son woke him up by crying. Moreover, he had just finished eating when his son was crying on his stomach.

"Dad, you're not dead! You scared me to death!"

Huang Shaosong excitedly hugged his father. The joy of finding his father again made Huang Shaosong hold him tightly, tears streaming down his face.

Huang Shaogang stood up awkwardly, wiped away his tears, and thankfully it was a false alarm.

"Stop shaking, it's making me dizzy."

"Doctor, please take a look at my dad."

"it is good"

Huang Shaosong stepped aside so the doctor could examine his father. The doctor examined him carefully, a look of surprise on his face. His father had looked quite unwell yesterday; how could he be so much better today?

"Doctor, how is my dad?"

Huang Shaosong frowned and looked surprised as he looked at the doctor. He asked anxiously, "Just because my dad is fine now doesn't mean he'll be fine in the future."

"It seems that apart from weakness, there's nothing seriously wrong with your father. I'll arrange another full-body checkup for him this afternoon."

"Really, thank you so much, doctor. I'm so grateful," Huang Shaosong said to the doctor.

"Let your dad rest. I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

"Dr. Yang, let me see you off."

After Huang Shaogang returned from taking the doctor, Lin Xingyao took the dishes out to wash them. She wanted the father and his two sons to have a good talk, and after washing the dishes, she went straight to work.

"Dad, that's great! Did you hear what the doctor said? He said you're alright."

"Alright, Shaosong, sit down and calm down. Shaogang, come sit over here too, I have something to say to you."

"Dad, don't rush, we can talk about it later. You should rest first," Huang Shaogang said as he walked over.

"Yes, Dad, you rest first. Shaogang and I will stay with you."

"It's alright, we can rest after we finish talking about this."

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible; the longer it is delayed, the more likely the eldest son's family will fall apart.

"Okay, Shaogang and I are listening."

"I want to divorce your mother. This is because I have no feelings left for her. Most importantly, if your mother continues to cause trouble like this, she will ruin Shaosong's family."

Here's what I'm thinking: after divorcing your mother, I'll stay with Shaosong. Shaogang, your mother will stay with you, so for now, you'll have to make do.

"When the time comes, have her help you with more chores. Once she's busy, she won't cause trouble or think about Xiaomin. After you get married, I'll find a way to bring your mother over."

"Dad, there's no need to take Mom away. She can stay with me from now on. I won't let her cause trouble for my brother and sister-in-law."

Huang Shaogang did not object to his parents' divorce, but he would not have agreed if his mother hadn't repeatedly angered his father to the point of fainting.

His mother went further and further each time. The last time, after his father fainted, his mother simply left and hasn't come to the hospital to check on him since.

"No, I don't agree. Your sister-in-law has a house to live in now, and Mom is fine with me. With my mother-in-law watching over her, my mom wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Xingyao."

My younger brother told me that he recently started dating someone, and his mother is now living with him. He's worried that she might ruin his relationship.

"Shaosong, listen to me, let your mother go with your brother."

"Dad, Shao just started dating someone. What if Mom follows him around and scares her away?"

Huang Shaogang scratched his head sheepishly. Too many things had happened in his family recently, and apart from his brother, he hadn't told anyone else about his relationship.

"Shaogang has a girlfriend, that's a good thing. In that case, I won't divorce your mother. I'll take her to live at home and keep an eye on her 24/7 to prevent her from going to see you."

"no"

"no"

The two brothers said in unison, "Dad has finally pulled through. We can't let him live with Mom anymore. He might not make it next time. For Dad's health, this divorce is necessary."

"Let me talk about this when I get home. Shaogang, what do you mean by bringing your girlfriend home for dinner?"

"Dad, I'll take her home after you're discharged from the hospital. She hasn't been in the county town lately; she and her brother went out on some errands."

"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer. It's fine. You don't need to watch over me. Find a place to rest."

Just as Mr. Huang was about to lie down, Mrs. Huang walked in and said, "Huang Shaosong, didn't you say your father was very ill? He doesn't look seriously ill at all."
