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

"Liu Zhiyuan, don't just stand there!" Lan Yujuan urged, "Call an ambulance right now and get your dad to the hospital!"

Although she had developed resentment towards her father-in-law, they had lived together for four years and she had once regarded him as family.

That fall just now was quite a hard one!

Moreover, if the back of your head hits a rock, and something serious happens, it's no laughing matter!

Liu Zhiyuan panicked. He gritted his teeth and, with a complicated expression, took out his phone to call for emergency help.

No sooner had he taken out his new phone than his younger brother, Liu Zhigang, snatched it away, saying, "What are you doing?"

"Just a minor scrape and you call the hospital? Do you think you have a cash cow growing in your backyard? Or is the hospital owned by the Liu family?"

"It's only the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and we've already received two or three emergency calls!"

"An ambulance trip costs 200 yuan! Not to mention the other expenses, such as the costs of unnecessary tests done after arriving at the hospital!"

"Tell me, who's going to pay for this? Brother, will you pay? Or sister-in-law, will you pay?"

"Dad! Just consider it as leaving some good fortune for your children and grandchildren, and try to save the family fortune by not squandering it!"

Liu Defu was helped up and sat on a rock to the side. Pointing at his second son, he trembled with anger, "You, you, you..."

He struggled for a long time, but still couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Liu Zhigang ignored him and turned around, speaking directly to Liu Zhiyuan, whose face was covered in bruises:

"Brother, if you want to be a filial son, then make this call!"

"When Dad is hospitalized, you'll be responsible for taking care of him yourself, and you'll have to pay for all the medical expenses!"

Although Liu Zhiyuan explicitly agreed, his panicked and tense emotions subsided somewhat after seeing his younger brother's firm stance against sending their father to the hospital.

"Then tell me, what should we do if Dad falls and gets hurt like this?"

Liu Zhigang raised his hand, wiped the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and said matter-of-factly:

"What else can we do? Let's find a few people to help carry it home and raise it!"

"Then I asked the village doctor to take a look and prescribe some herbal medicine to apply for a few days. I think that should be enough."

"People from the countryside aren't so precious!"

"You weren't home the other day, and Dad was wandering around the village late at night when he accidentally bumped his head and broke it. This is how he treated it!"

Liu Zhiyuan took a deep breath, took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out five hundred yuan in cash, and handed it to his younger brother, Liu Zhigang.

"You handle this matter as you see fit!"

"I really have something urgent to attend to, I need to go to the provincial capital urgently. You're still my brother, so please trust me this last time, okay?"

"I promise, I'll definitely go home once I've sorted this out!"

"When the time comes, you can buy the house in the county town if you want, or in the provincial capital if you want. I guarantee you with my future and career, it will absolutely not be in Beijing!"

After listening, Liu Zhigang, the younger brother, squinted at his older brother and finally began to relent.

"Dad's injured like this, and you're only giving him five hundred yuan? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar!"

"Even if you don't take him to the hospital, he should at least rest at home and get some good food to help him recover!"

"You're a very busy person, and your time is precious. I have plenty of time, so putting in a little extra effort is no big deal. But you can't just do nothing, can you?"

"And when Dad fell just now, I clearly saw..."

Seeing his younger brother rambling on and on, Liu Zhiyuan impatiently interrupted, "Alright! Stop talking!"

Then, he simply took out a wad of cash from his wallet, which must have been at least several thousand yuan, and handed it over.

"This is all the cash I have on me, I'll give it all to you, okay?"

This time, even though his face was covered in bruises, his younger brother Liu Zhigang finally managed a smile.

"Okay, okay!"

"You hurry up and take my sister-in-law and niece to get busy. Don't worry about things at home, leave everything to me!"

Lan Yujuan offered advice, but the other party did not listen, so she stopped getting involved in the Liu family's affairs.

While her husband and brother-in-law were discussing solutions, Lan Yujuan carried her daughter straight to the convenience store, bought a few lollipops, put them in her bag, and sat down in front of the store.

After giving his instructions, Liu Zhiyuan took back his new phone and walked quickly toward Lan Yujuan.

"Honey, don't worry about things at home, let's go!"

Lan Yujuan was looking at her phone while hugging her daughter who was eating a lollipop.

"What's the deal with that woman who came to our house? Explain yourself!"

After speaking, Lan Yujuan looked up, glanced at the phone Liu Zhiyuan had just retrieved, then turned the phone face down while it was on a call, and looked intently at Liu Zhiyuan:

"Some things you can't avoid no matter how hard you try! You'll have to face them sooner or later!"

Liu Zhiyuan's expression froze. He slowly moved to sit down next to Lan Yujuan and kept changing his posture.

Finally, after glancing around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, he leaned closer and whispered:

"Honey, things aren't really as you think!"

"Her name is Li Jiaojiao, and she's a friend I met in Beijing," Liu Zhiyuan said carefully, while subconsciously touching his nose.

"Li Jiaojiao... is actually a client leader in our company. Our two companies have close working relationships."

"She might... have a bit of a crush on me, but because of work, I don't dare to offend her too much."

"So, this may have caused some minor misunderstandings..."

As he spoke, he reached out to take Lan Yujuan's hand.

"Slap!" As a result, I got a slap on the back of my hand.

"Keep your claws out and don't touch me!"

This amount of force was nothing to Liu Zhiyuan, a grown man.

Instead, Lan Yujuan's indifferent expression and proud, stubborn demeanor made his hand feel numb and his heart itch.

"Honey, you have to believe me!"

"Although Li Jiaojiao has been relentlessly pursuing me, even chasing me all the way back to my hometown, I assure you, I have absolutely no feelings for her!"

"If you don't believe me, let's go get our marriage certificate as soon as the Civil Affairs Bureau opens on the eighth day of the lunar new year!"
