Chapter 66 Tenderness of a Tough Man
After receiving the letter from Kyoto, Lu Xingchen has been worried about his life experience.
He never thought that his adoptive father Li Tiejun would stop him from looking for his biological father. He even withheld such an important letter from Kyoto and did not let him know about it.
If Tang Zimo hadn't accidentally discovered and reminded him of this, Lu Xingchen would probably have been kept in the dark forever.
There must be some unspeakable secret hidden in this.
Today Su Qing decided to go to the county town to visit Li Meihua's father.
Mr. Li is a disabled person who is blind. Due to his limited mobility, he accidentally fell into a deep ditch on the side of the road, resulting in the numerous bruises on his body.
Fortunately, Su Qing arrived in time and took measures to stop the bleeding, otherwise the old man would have been in danger of life due to excessive blood loss.
Now, after surgical treatment, Mr. Li’s orthopedic injuries have received timely treatment.
I have been staying in the hospital to take care of him during this period.
The eldest brother Su Yu was determined to become the son-in-law of the Li family, so he gave up the truck transportation and wanted to sell it.
Su Qing expressed strong opposition to this.
Because in her previous life she witnessed Su Yu's mediocrity, she was depressed all year round and suffered from a serious illness.
It was for this reason that when Li Meihua learned that Su Qing opposed Su Yu becoming a son-in-law, she began to ignore Su Qing.
However, due to Su Qing's help last time, he only expressed a slight gratitude as a courtesy.
"Uncle Li is in good spirits today. What does the doctor say about his current condition?" Su Qing asked with concern.
"The doctor said I can be discharged in two days." Su Yu looked tired. When he saw Su Qing coming, he forced a smile.
Su Qing leaned over and looked carefully at Father Li's eyes. "When did Uncle Li start to lose his sight?"
Li Meihua disagreed and said casually, "It was only two years ago."
"I think the symptoms are very similar to cataracts. I understand this condition and it can be cured through minimally invasive surgery.
Su Qing was very sure about this.
In her previous life, my mother Ye Xinglian had undergone such an operation, and the results were very obvious.
"You mean that through surgery, I can restore my eyesight?" After all, this is great news, and Li Meihua is very concerned about it.
"Yes, I can accompany you to see an ophthalmologist to find out."
Li Meihua's attitude has obviously improved, but she still has a cold expression, and now she has some trust in Su Qing.
After consulting the ophthalmologist, everyone pushed the patient in front of the doctor. After the examination, the doctor's response was just as Su Qing said.
But when Li Meihua heard the cost of the operation, her heart sank. A family like theirs could not afford such high fees.
Su Yu saw it but was helpless.
In addition to visiting Li's father today, Su Qing also plans to accompany Lu Xingchen back to Li Tiejun's home in the county to learn about his life experience.
After saying goodbye, he left with Lu Xingchen.
Before leaving, he took out a bag of souvenirs he had prepared from his bicycle.
There were some fruits and supplements inside, but Su Qing also put a large stack of cash in it.
"The three thousand yuan is for Uncle Li's surgery. But you have to promise me not to sell the truck and continue your transportation business." Before leaving, he pulled his eldest brother Su Chan aside and explained his intention.
Su Qing got on Lu Xingchen's bicycle and left.
"Hello, auntie!" As soon as they arrived at Li Tiejun's home, Lu Xingchen introduced the lonely Zhuang Qiuyan who was sitting in the yard knitting a sweater from afar.
"Xingchen is back. Is this the newly married young bride?" Zhuang Qiuyan rubbed her hair with the small iron stick she used to knit a sweater.
"Yes, his name is Su Qing. By the way, Aunt Zhuang, hasn't my dad come back yet?" Lu Xingchen asked as he invited Su Qing to sit down.
A young man suddenly appeared in the room, with an imperceptible vicious look in his eyes. He put on a cold face, turned around and went into his room.
He is Li Weibing, the youngest son of Li Tiejun and Zhang Qiuyan.
Ever since Lu Xingchen and Su Qing came back, Zhuang Qiuyan has been sitting there without even lifting her butt, not even to get a glass of water.
Lu Xingchen was already accustomed to the behavior of the mother and daughter.
But Su Qing felt very uncomfortable when they met for the first time.
"Do they usually treat you like this?" Su Qing asked softly after entering Lu Xingchen's room.
"They are fine, right? I don't come back often now, so it's not a big deal." Lu Xingchen smiled indifferently.
"Why do I feel that they both have some hostility towards you? Think about it, this is my first time here. If it were an ordinary person visiting, they would have stood up and greeted them, not to mention that I am his daughter-in-law." Su Qing was obviously indignant about this.
"What? You mean there was a letter sent to you from the capital? Didn't I ask Ru Mengyun to give it to you?" After Li Tiejun came back, he expressed his doubts about Lu Xingchen's questioning of him withholding the letter from Kyoto.
Su Qing and Lu Xingchen never expected this.
"Qiuyan, did you withhold the letter sent from Kyoto to Xingchen?" Li Tiejun asked Zhuang Qiuyan loudly.
"Xingchen, you are making up stories and slandering me. You accuse me of something as soon as you come here. What is your intention?" Zhuang Qiuyan was not willing to be outdone. She even suspected that Su Qing was fanning the flames.
Hearing the noise from his parents outside, Guard Li opened the door of his room.
"Stop arguing. It wasn't my mother who did it. The letters you want are all here." Guard Li threw the stack of letters in his hand to the ground, closed the door with a "bang", and returned to the room.
Lu Xingchen immediately squatted down and saw that the envelopes were all postmarked with Kyoto, scattered all over the floor. As if he saw the hope of a long-awaited reunion, his hands began to tremble noticeably.
Su Qing also squatted down to help. It had always been Su Qing's wish to find out the truth about Lu Xingchen's life experience.
Seeing so many letters from Kyoto today seems like hope.
Taking the letter back to the room, Lu Xingchen slowly opened it and read it word by word, and by the end he was already in tears.
Only now did he realize that his biological father, Lu Wannian, had been paying attention to his every move.
Even Chen Ruifeng, who was arranged to be beside him, was secretly manipulated by him.
In the letter, Lu Wannian also left his address in Kyoto and told him that he had a biological brother named Lu Xinghui.
"Find some time, I'll accompany you to Kyoto to visit your father!" Su Qing patted Lu Xingchen's shoulders gently from behind. With Su Qing's comfort, Lu Xingchen calmed down a lot.
He wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
The last time his legs were seriously injured, he endured the severe pain without even a murmur. Su Qing had long understood his style of working with blood and sweat but not tears.
But today, this iron-blooded man naturally revealed his tender side in the face of fatherly love and family affection.
After learning the truth of the matter, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen returned to their home in Hongxing Village.
But as soon as he entered the door, Chen Ruifeng brought bad news.
There were management loopholes in the silk production and manufacturing base. Su Guozhong came over in a hurry to find Su Qing just now, but left when he saw that Su Qing was not there.
He also left a message, asking Su Qing to go to Xiangyang Brigade Headquarters to find him if she came back.
