Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Have You Ever Thought Your Wife Have a Low Tear Point?

Earlier, Chen’s father had already been drugged once. He woke up halfway through, then was drugged again.

Normal people would sleep for a long time after taking this kind of drug. It was too much for his old body to handle at such an advanced age.

Seeing his hurried breathing and purple-black complexion, Suizi knew something was wrong.

She hastily sent Chen’s father to the hospital with Yu Jingting. They had initially planned to teach Chen’s father a lesson. Suizi had thought about stripping the old man naked, letting Yu Jingting take some pictures of him, then threatening him with those, and throwing the old woman who drugged him into the police station.

But now, the old man was on the verge of death, and they could only rush him to the hospital, their previous plans abandoned on the spot.

The scene suddenly turned chaotic. Suizi and her husband were busy transporting people and didn’t have time to ask Chen Lijun how she was handling Mei Rui.

At the hospital, Chen’s father was immediately taken for gastric lavage. After much struggle, he was barely hanging on, but because of his old age, his health deteriorated significantly after all the commotion, and he was a far cry from his former self.

While the old man was still being resuscitated, Chen’s mother, who had heard the news, arrived. Incredibly, her first words were not about her husband’s condition.

"Where are the people who drugged him?"

"Jingting took them to the police station."

"No, we absolutely can’t report this to the police! Tell him to come back!" Chen’s mother was frenzied.

"My father almost died, and you still want to cover it up?!"

"Your father is blessed, he will certainly transform misfortune into fortune. But if this incident gets out, how can we continue to live in Beijing? What will others think of us? Have him come back immediately."

"It’s too late, the people have already been taken there."

When Chen’s mother heard that Chen Lijun wouldn’t change her mind, she raised her hand and slapped Chen Lijun across the face.

Seeing her mother being hit, Suizi angrily pushed Chen’s mother away.

"Are you sick? Instead of arresting the culprits, you hit my mom?!"

"Get out of the way, this is between your mother and me!" Seeing Suizi’s defiant attitude, Chen’s mother’s fury diminished a bit.

People like her were bullies who chickened out on confrontations. Suizi was the exact opposite – she faced adversity without fear, but often empathized with victims.

"Bring him back now, otherwise it’ll be too late!" As Chen’s mother tried to grab Chen Lijun yet again, Suizi would never let her touch the pregnant woman, causing the two to come to blows.

"Enough!" Chen Lijun rebuked, "We will definitely proceed legally with this case. If we can’t stay in Beijing, then we just won’t!"

"You... what do you mean?!" Chen’s mother sensed something was wrong.

Chen Lijun continued, "Previously, Dayao called, suggesting that you and my father should go there to retire. At first, I was hesitant, but now I see, Beijing environment is not conducive for your old age. It’s great at Dayao’s place, with mountains and rivers. You can paint if you want, or farm if you feel like it."

Chen Lijun had two younger brothers who were both serving in the military out of town.

"Dayao’s place... You want us to be placed in the mountainous area?!" Chen’s mother was devastated.

"The specifics will be arranged by Dayao. He’s already prepared a house for you, with a huge courtyard. There’s plenty of land, front and back. You won’t feel wronged at all."

The resolve in Chen Lijun’s voice indicated that this had already been settled. Knowing that the tide had turned, Chen’s mother slumped desolately against the wall.

"It’s wasteful to leave the courtyard empty. My brothers and I have discussed it. We will buy it ourselves and give the money to my brothers as your retirement fund. In the future, you can choose which son you want to live with as long as their wives don’t mind."

"Chen Lijun! You heartless creature! I should never have given birth to you! Can you be so ruthless towards your own parents?" Chen’s mother cried and wailed.

"If it weren’t for my mother’s consideration for you, how could she have thought of all this? If you continued to live here, given the old man’s temperament, wouldn’t he stir up more trouble? Today he was lucky not to be killed, but what about tomorrow? He may seduce someone’s wife, inciting the revenge of the husband, and the next stab may be at you!"

Suizi’s words quietened Chen’s mother, her face turning pale.

"No way, he wasn’t like this before...."

"That’s only because he was held under tight reins before. He would dare not mess around or else he might have eaten lead. Now, without restraints, with his lust for a long life, there will be more than ten years of unrest ahead. When you move to my uncle’s place, an army compound, he will dare not mess around, or else he will face the military court. Won’t he be forced to behave? And when he behaves, won’t your days be peaceful? Isn’t this better than puffing up your cheeks to look fat?"

Suizi’s words were methodically progressive, considering things from Chen’s mother’s standpoint. This made Chen’s mother think things over.

"My aunt-in-law is not hard to get along with. My uncle is a big shot. After you move there, as long as you don’t pick on them, life will definitely be very comfortable."

Suizi was only half right with her words.

Her aunt-in-law was indeed easy to get along with, but she was not to be trifled with.

Through her interactions with her aunt-in-law, Suizi concluded...

That anyone who could be a match for her uncle couldn’t be average. Her aunt-in-law had endless means to deal with the old couple if she wanted to, but if the old couple didn’t cause trouble, her aunt-in-law wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for them.

Chen’s mother was swayed by Suizi’s words and sat on the chair in a daze, seemingly weighing what the best thing to do was.

Fan Huang’s condition was much better than Chen’s father. After receiving an injection, he woke up fairly quickly. Although he was still a bit dizzy and his thinking was a bit slow, he was coherent.

"Xiaochen?" Fan Huang opened his eyes and saw Chen Lijun standing beside him, her face full of worry, a bit of wetness on it. He slowly reached out to touch her face.

"Were you crying?"

"I got water in my eyes— you old fool, you scared me to death!" Chen Lijun lightly punched him once. As soon as she spoke, her tears began to fall again.

Although Fan Huang still didn’t understand what was going on, seeing his usually strong-willed daughter-in-law crying like this made him sit up with effort and try to wipe her tears for her.

Because the effects of the drug hadn’t fully worn off, his movements were very slow. Seeing this, Chen Lijun felt a heartbreaking pain and began to cry even harder.

Once Chen Lijun started crying, Suizi, who was easily moved to tears, couldn’t hold back either.

Although she knew in her heart that Dad was fine, with the mood having escalated to this point, she couldn’t stop her tears from falling.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter were both crying, and he still couldn’t remember what had happened, Fan Huang hurriedly tried to comfort them both, but found he couldn’t keep up.

Yu Jingting had not even entered the room when he heard his wife and mother-in-law sobbing. The atmosphere was like a memorial service. Worried, Yu Jingting shouted:

"Where is the doctor!"

His shout echoed from the ward all the way into the director’s office. The director jumped up and rushed over at a sprint.

"What’s wrong with my father-in-law?!"

"He’s fine now, he just needs to go home and sleep it off." The director had intended to approach, but seeing their boss hugging his tearful daughter-in-law, he hesitated to intrude.

When Fan Huang was admitted, Chen Lijun had immediately sought out the director. With such a high-ranking official present, the director was afraid of any mishaps.

"If everything’s fine, then why is my wife crying like this?"

"Uh—" Have you ever considered that your wife might be too sensitive? The director, of course, dare not say this out loud.
