Chapter 1633 - 1633 Brotherly Respect
1633 Brotherly Respect
There was a rule in the hospital that no one was allowed to run around unless there were special circumstances. All the doctors and nurses had to memorize this rule when they first joined the hospital.
They did not expect to see the “expert gynecologist” Xia Fang running around one day. They wondered how critical the patient’s illness had to be for Xia Fang to run like this.
When Xia Fang pushed open the door, she saw Qiao Mei sitting on the sofa with a pale face. Qiao Mei held her stomach with one hand and the arm of the sofa with the other, looking very weak.
“You really went to alarm Aunt…” Qiao Mei said weakly.
“You still want to put on a front! I’ll arrange for a ward for you and to get a full-body checkup done.” With that, Xia Fang went out to make the arrangements.
All the matters at home were now handled by Xu Lan and Liu Fen. After Xu Lan gave birth to Xia Zhe, she had a lingering illness. Whenever she was tired or if it was windy or rainy, her joints would hurt badly. She could only lie on the bed to recuperate, so Liu Fen had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her family.
After knowing that Li Gui had been rescued, the Du family finally could not sit still anymore.
“Didn’t you say that the plan is foolproof? What a bunch of useless people!” Du Bo said furiously.
“Those people from the Zhao Family Village are greedy and lecherous. Back then, you didn’t believe me when I told you to let me find someone else. Who can you blame in this situation?” Du Miao said mockingly.
“Younger brother, don’t say so much,” Du Miao’s elder brother, Du Huai, said.
Song Dan’s grandfather’s condition had stabilized now. By right, the Du family did not need to get involved in this mess anymore, but Feng Niao had suddenly fallen seriously ill. Feng Niao had taken care of the Du family tirelessly and always been worried about them and her body finally could not handle the stress anymore. They needed the Xia family’s “divine medicine” to save Feng Niao’s life.
Du Huai had been doing business elsewhere for a long time and had not returned to the capital for many years. He would only return when something big happened at home. He was involved in all kinds of shady businesses and it was not good for him to appear in front of everyone often. The outside world seemed to have the impression that the Du family only had one son, Du Miao.
The Du family’s two men worked in the police force. Their monthly salary was not enough for them to buy such a big villa and wear such nice clothes. All of this was paid for with the money that Du Huai gave them.
“Look at your elder brother! Then look at you! Hopeless thing! Your mother is already so sick! Don’t you know how to make yourself useful!” Du Bo roared.
“Tsk… You’re the reason why my mother is so ill. If you cared for her more, would she be like this today?” Du Miao retorted.
Du Bo rushed in front of Du Miao and gave him a slap. He roared at Du Miao, “Evil creature! Get lost! I’ll pretend that I never have a son like you! Get lost!”
Du Miao touched his swollen face lightly and said, “So be it. Do you think I’m willing to stay in this house?”
After Du Miao said that, he rushed out of the door. Du Bo was so angry that he had an unbearable headache. He sat on the sofa and kept moaning. The helper hurriedly went to the study to get Du Bo’s medicine.
Du Huai chased after Du Miao. He grabbed Du Miao and said, “Younger brother! Father only said that in a fit of anger! When has he ever not cared about you! Come back with me and apologize to him properly. Then this matter will be over.”
“Du Huai, stop putting an act in front of me. There’s no one else here,” Du Miao said disdainfully.
Du Huai stopped the show of brotherly respect and let go of Du Miao’s hand. He kept wiping his hands with his own handkerchief as if he had touched something dirty.
“I thought you’d forgotten all about it,” Du Huai said.
“Even if I lose my memory, I won’t forget you. You should go back and be Du Bo’s good son. Don’t come here to disgust me,” Du Miao said in annoyance.
“Don’t you want to save Mom?” Du Huai asked.
Du Miao stopped in his tracks as he was walking out of the courtyard. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, “Everyone has their own fate. Back then, when I advised her to divorce my father, she did not want to leave. I can’t change this outcome. Even if she is cured, she will still be tortured by Du Bo until the end. She might as well die.”
Speaking of the Du family’s scandalous affairs, it would probably take more than a day and a night to finish listing all of them. The retribution for the sins that Du Bo had committed when he was young had now fallen on his children.
