After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Upon hearing that her mother-in-law had fallen into the water and been taken away by an ambulance, Lan Yujuan hugged her daughter tightly, feeling a wave of fear wash over her.

She had a premonition that something bad would happen sooner or later with that pond in front of the house, which was dug so deep and not fenced off!

When the younger brother-in-law heard that his mother wasn't home and had been taken to the county hospital by ambulance, he immediately became anxious.

"Why did Mom jump into the pond on the first day of the Lunar New Year?!"

"What do we do now? My girlfriend and her future in-laws have come all the way from the next county, and they're waiting for my mom to come home and cook for them!"

"Brother, this is the most important thing in my life!"

Liu Zhiyuan was furious when he heard his younger brother's selfish and irresponsible words.

"Listen to yourself, was that even human language you just spoke?"

"Our mother is still lying in the hospital, her life hanging in the balance, and you're not worried at all, only thinking about yourself!"

"If you two have a good relationship, would your girlfriend have run away so easily?"

"If you two aren't meant to be, even if she marries you from afar, and even after you get married and have children, you'll still divorce!"

Lan Yujuan stood beside her, holding her daughter, her brows furrowed.

People say that having more children means you can discuss things together when problems arise, but is that really how you discuss things?

"You two should both keep quiet!" Lan Yujuan calmly reminded them. "No matter what, call Mom and Dad first and ask what's going on!"

Liu Zhiyuan glared at his younger brother, turned around, took out his phone, and quickly called his parents.

He first called Tian Xiuhua, but the call was temporarily unavailable...

He hung up the phone and immediately dialed another number, but no one answered.

Standing beside him, his younger brother Liu Zhigang urged, "Brother, hit it a few more times!"

"Dad was probably busy at the hospital and didn't hear his phone ring."

Liu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at his younger brother. "Nonsense, do I need you to tell me?"

Liu Zhigang looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "I was just thinking that if I got through on the phone and confirmed that Mom was alright in the hospital, it would be easier to make the next arrangements!"

Liu Zhiyuan did not refute, and made several more calls, but no one answered.

Just as he was about to give up, Lan Yujuan said clearly, "Let's play one last time!"

"If no one picks you up yet, hurry up and go to the hospital to get checked out. Zhigang, stay home and entertain the guests. I'll go ask your aunt to come over and help with the cooking."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan frowned. "You're quite the planner! So what are you going to do?"

Lan Yujuan didn't argue, but directly stated her reasoning: "The one who went to the hospital is your own mother!"

"You are the eldest son of the Liu family, and you are rarely at home. This time, you just happened to be away from home, so it's only right and proper that you go to the hospital to help out."

"Zhigang's girlfriend brought her parents to visit for the New Year for the first time. There wasn't a single elder in the house, which was against etiquette."

Liu Zhiyuan fell silent. Although he felt something was off, he understood that Lan Yujuan's arrangement was impeccable.

"Okay, I'll try again!"

This time, Liu Zhiyuan made the call right in front of the three of them and put it on speakerphone.

Surprisingly, the phone was answered after ringing twice!

Liu Zhiyuan was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Dad! Is Mom alright?"

On the other end of the phone, instead of the father-in-law's voice, a child was heard cursing and swearing.

"Damn it! Why is there no internet again? This crappy phone!"

The two brothers were both stunned, looking up blankly. "What's going on?"

"Could it be that Dad lost his phone?"
