620 Enough Was Enough (1/2)

”It's my dad's funeral today.” Wang Fengyi tried his best to make such an excuse.

”You are such a good son,” said the family members of the patients staying in the same room.

”Let's go!” Wang Fengyi got out of the hospital bed, attempting to put up with the pain.

His wife was confused. She thought maybe her husband had really changed. Wang Fengyi never visited his father except during Chinese New Year. He never bought anything for his father. He just took some eggs and noodles from his own house to his father once a year. How could he suddenly become a good son?

Wang Fengyi stumbled out of the hospital feeling dizzy and went back to the village.

Meanwhile, his siblings were still on Dongshan Hill.

All the villagers buried their loved ones on Dongshan Hill. More than one Feng Shui master had recommended Dongshan Hill as a suitable place to bury loved ones.

The paper money was burned into ashes while firecrackers made loud sounds. Wang Fengyi's siblings were crying.

Wang Yao looked at Dongshan Hill from atop of Nanshan Hill.

”I'm sorry. I hope you'll rest in peace,” he said in low voice.

He began to read a piece of scripture.

People gradually stopped crying and left Dongshan Hill, accepting that an old man's life was over.

When Wang Fengyi arrived home, his siblings had already returned. They were surprised to see him.

”Fengyi, how come you are back?” Wang Fengji asked. ”Are you alright now?”

”Not really. Where is Dad?” Wang Fengyi asked.

”We've buried him,” Wang Fengji said.

”What!” Wang Fengyi's eyes dulled as he slumped to the ground.

”I heard Wang Fengyi cared about nothing, including his parents, but it seems he hasn't lost all his conscience,” a villager said.

”Yes, he got out of the hospital for his father when he was still sick,” another villager said.

The villagers suddenly changed their view about Wang Fengyi.

”Fengyi, go inside to have a rest,” Wang Fengji suggested.

Wang Fengji and the other siblings prepared some dishes for all the family members they invited to the funeral. Wang Fengyi was lying on the bed. He still felt dizzy and sick.

”Fengyi, would you like to eat something? I'll bring some food for you,” Wang Fengji said.

”I'm not hungry. Don't worry about me.” Wang Fengyi shook his head.

In reality, he had not come back for his father's funeral or because he found his good conscience to be a prodigal son that returned home. He returned home because he was sick. He knew his sickness was caused by Wang Yao. He heard Wang Yao was an extraordinary doctor and that people from all over came to see him for treatment.

Wang Fengyi came home for treatment. However, he had just gone to Wang Yao's house and caused trouble the day before. He didn't have the courage to see Wang Yao now.

Not many people could be that shameless, including Wang Fengyi. However, he had been feeling terrible the whole day. He couldn't bear it anymore. He was happy to do anything, even apologize or bow down to Wang Yao to get treatment. His self-esteem was nothing in comparison to the horrible feeling. He wished he was dead. He couldn't care less about anything else.

Of course, for Wang Fengyi, both self-esteem and health were important.

”What? You are going to apologize to Wang Yao?” Wang Fengji was surprised. He knew his youngest brother was very stubborn, so he didn't expect Wang Fengyi to admit his wrong doings. ”Why?”

”What did you say? I can't hear you,” Wang Fengyi said loudly.

Apart from feeling a headache and sick, Wang Fengyi's hearing was also affected. He couldn't hear properly even if a person spoke loudly or stood right next to him.

”I just asked you why,” Wang Fengji said.

”Because what I did was wrong,” Wang Fengyi said loudly.

Even the guests in the dining room could hear him.

”What he did was wrong?” a guest asked in confusion.

”Is it Wang Fengyi? He regrets what he has done?” another guest asked.

All the guests were quite confused. After they left, Wang Fengji took Wang Fengyi to Wang Yao's house to apologize.

Wang Fenghua and Zhang Xiuying were surprised to see Wang Fengyi. They didn't expect him to come apologize to them the next day. The change was quite sudden considering that he had been so rude the previous day.

”Yao is not at home. Can you please wait for a while?” Zhang Xiuying asked.

They waited for 30 minutes before Wang Yao came down from Nanshan Hill.

”I cannot treat you,” Wang Yao said as he took a glance at Wang Fengyi.

”Yao, please,” Wang Fengji said.

”Uncle Fengji, I've told you, I can't treat him,” Wang Yao said.

He had to do something to make Wang Fengyi remember that he should never mess with his family. Otherwise, he wouldn't stop making trouble.
