447 Where There Was a Soft Mother, There Was a Useless Son (1/2)
”What a fantastic trip!” said Tian Yuantu in the car.
He thought the trip was more meaningful than signing a multi-million dollar contract, especially when he saw how the kids were so happy. The satisfaction he gained through charity and business was totally different.
”Shall we come back in the future?” said Tian Yuantu.
”Sure,” said Wei Hai.
He was looking at the photos of students on his phone. The students in the photos were wearing new clothes. They all had bright smiles on their faces.
What lovely kids!
. . .
Meanwhile, somewhere in Qi province, a skinny young man was kneeling on the ground. His body was shaking. There was a red handprint on his face.
Two people were standing next to him. One was holding a rolling pin. His face turned red due to agitation. The other one was holding the young man's hand. They were the young man's parents.
”You, you! How did you become a drug addict?” asked the young man's father.
Pah! He threw the rolling pin onto the ground. The rolling pin broke into two parts. He put his hand on his chest, then slowly fell into a chair. His face was distorted.
”Dad! Dad!” cried the skinny young man.
”Hubby!” said his mother.
The two of them went to fetch the medication and water immediately. It took a while for the middle-aged man to feel better.
”I'm sorry, Dad, I'm so sorry!” cried the skinny young man.
”Alas! How did I come to have such a useless son!” said the middle-aged man with a big sigh.
Although he was angry, he knew it wouldn't make any difference to punish his son. He needed to help his son get clean. After all, the young man was his own child.
”You should go to the rehabilitation center,” said the middle-aged man after thinking for a while.
”Rehabilitation center?” said the middle-aged woman in shock. ”No, my baby cannot stay in that horrible place. He won't survive.”
”Shut up! It was all because of you! You spoiled him, so of course, he ended up being an addict!” shouted the middle-aged man in anger. He was agitated, and he started to look terrible again.
”Please don't be mad at me,” said his wife immediately. She was already upset about her son. She wouldn't allow anything to happen to her husband. Otherwise, her family would be in turmoil.
”Dad, I know a doctor, one who can help me get clean,” said the skinny young man.
”A doctor who can help you get clean?” His apparently didn't believe what he said. ”Where did you get this idea? If so, what are the rehabilitation center for?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”It's true, the doctor stopped Honglin's withdrawal symptoms easily. I witnessed it,” said the skinny young man.
”Sun Honglin? How many times have I told you? Don't hang out with Sun Honglin. Why don't you listen to me? Who else have you been hanging out with? He Xiaofeng?” asked his father.
”Yes,” said the skinny young man.
”Neither of them are decent people. Clearly, you have poor taste in friends,” said the middle-aged man with a sigh.
”Darling, our son said that doctor could help them get clean. Shall we give it a try?” asked his wife.
”So you asked me for money a few days ago to pay for the doctor? Why are you still addicted to drugs?” It suddenly occurred to the middle-aged man that his son had asked him for 30 thousand yuan.
”He didn't treat us,” said the skinny young man.
”Why not?” asked his father.
”Well, because he said we have to bring our family members to his clinic,” said the skinny young man.
”Really?” said his father with surprise.
It suddenly occurred to him that maybe the doctor was reliable.
”Where is the doctor?” asked his father.
”Lianshan,” said the skinny young man.
”Lianshan? Where did you hear about him?” asked his father.
”I heard of him from Xiaofeng. He cured Xiaofeng's grandma,” said the skinny young man.
”That doctor?” said the middle-aged man with surprise. He had also heard of Wang Yao.
”Yes, you know him?” said the skinny young man.
”Off we go. Let's go to see him,” said his father.
”But Dad, do you need to rest for a while first?” As a father, the middle-aged man actually cared about his son very much. However, a father's way of communicating love could be subtle.
”Let's go. We leave right now,” said the middle-aged man.
They went to Wang Yao's clinic by car under the direction of the skinny young man. However, they saw the sign sticking on the door of the clinic, which said Wang Yao was away at the moment.
”He is away?”
The three people in the car were surprised.
”Bad timing,” said the middle-aged man. ”Has he left you his contact number?”
”Yes, but only the landline of the clinic,” said the skinny young man.
”Since we are here already, maybe we should wait for a bit longer,” suggested his father.
However, Wang Yao didn't show up because he was still on his way back to Lianshan from Qinzhou.
”It seems he won't come here today. Let's go back home,” said the skinny young man's father.
”Okay,” said the skinny young man.
”Let your mother drive,” said his father.
. . .
It took Wang Yao and his friends three days to drive from Jia County to Lianshan. By the time they had arrived at Lianshan, it was late afternoon. The fours of them had dinner in a restaurant in town, then Wang Yao drove each of his friends home.
