Chapter 442: The Sky Has Fallen
Chapter 442: Chapter 442: The Sky Has Fallen
Everyone was sitting together for dinner, and no one asked why Zeng Shan hadn’t come back.
After a while, Zeng Shan returned, startled for a moment when he saw everyone, then let out a cold snort.
"Oh, you still remember to come back, huh!"
"I almost forgot I had parents!"
Seeing Zeng Shan return, the smiles disappeared from everyone’s faces in the room.
Wang Guilan said with a cold expression, "I’m the one who called the kids back to eat together. If you want to eat, eat; if not, go out!"
Zeng Shan: "This is my house. Why should I go out!"
Zeng Shan plopped down into a seat. "In my own house, I’ll do whatever I want, and no one can push me out!"
After speaking, he grabbed a chicken leg from the plate all by himself and started eating.
"Mom..."
Nuonuo glanced at her mother, and Dai Ling gently comforted her, "It’s okay, let’s eat."
After finishing the meal, Zeng Shan got up, poured himself a glass of water, took out his medicine, and swallowed it.
Zeng Li noticed this and asked, "Dad, what’s wrong?"
Zeng Shan replied with a cold face: "Not dead yet!"
Zeng Li: .....
Dai Ling glanced at her father-in-law’s medicine bottle, then lowered her head to feed her daughter, suddenly raising her head again to look at her father-in-law’s medicine bottle.
Noticing his daughter-in-law’s gaze, Zeng Shan quickly took the medicine away.
Dai Ling’s eyes followed the medicine in her father-in-law’s hand, her hands trembling slightly.
"I called you all here today to tell you something..."
Dai Ling felt a chill all over her body. She put down her chopsticks and started searching on her phone.
"I’m planning to divorce your dad."
"What?!"
"Mom?"
"Dear!"
Zeng Shan, who hadn’t heard clearly, dug into his ears.
Zeng Li looked utterly shocked.
Dai Ling, with trembling hands, held up the phone for her husband to see.
Wang Guilan sat there very calmly.
"You want to divorce me?! Are you kidding? Is your brain kicked by a donkey? Have you grown guts now?"
Zeng Shan mocked.
Dai Ling pulled her husband, showing him the search results on the phone...
Zeng Li, being dragged, looked at the phone, "Lingling, talk about this later."
Dai Ling held her husband’s hand tightly, "Look... this is the medicine dad is taking..."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Li’s eyes turned to the phone.
The first thing he noticed were the words ’AIDS treatment’.
His eyes widened in shock, staring seriously at the content on the phone.
Zeng Li looked up, "Dad, what medicine did you just take?"
The two arguing didn’t hear his son’s words at all.
Dai Ling stood up and quickly took out the medicine her father-in-law had just put away.
She looked at the words on the bottle...
"Clatter"
A pile of pills fell to the ground.
Zeng Li quickly picked them up and compared them with the medicine on the phone.
Exactly the same!
"Dad! What medicine are you taking!!!"
Zeng Li shouted loudly.
The sudden shout startled the two who were arguing.
Wang Guilan looked at the medicine in her son’s hand with confusion.
Seeing this, Zeng Shan’s face instantly changed.
"What, what medicine! Just some supplements!"
"Supplements?!"
Zeng Li held up his phone, "Then why does it say AIDS treatment medicine here?!"
"What?!"
Wang Guilan’s heart tightened, she suddenly looked at Zeng Shan.
"Did you get AIDS! Have you been messing around outside?"
Seeing that he couldn’t hide the truth anymore, Zeng Shan reluctantly admitted.
"What’s the big deal, this disease is pretty common now. Anyone you grab on the street might have it..."
Dai Ling was trembling with anger, "When did you get this disease?"
Zeng Li: "Before we moved out?"
Zeng Shan: "I only found out last month."
Dai Ling was breaking down, "You knew you were sick, why did you still sit with us to eat!!!"
Wang Guilan’s tears fell directly. What kind of sin was this!
That night, Zeng Li took his wife, daughter, and mother to the hospital for tests and medication.
In the time that followed, everyone lived in torment.
The results came out; everyone was fine except Mrs. Zeng.
But being fine now doesn’t mean being truly fine.
Mrs. Zeng was infected, and she still decided to divorce.
Dai Ling recalled when she went back to pack her things, she originally saw her husband’s razor in the sink and was about to take it.
But then she noticed a few blood spots on the towel beside it, and felt disgusted.
She didn’t take anything from the bathroom.
It made her feel uneasy.
Thinking back now, fortunately, she didn’t take it, otherwise...
In the end, under Wang Guilan’s insistence, Zeng Shan and Wang Guilan got divorced.
After the divorce, Wang Guilan left all her assets to her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
One day, she committed suicide.
Originally, she wanted to live a carefree life after the divorce.
Now, having contracted the disease, no matter where she went, she might unintentionally infect others.
Moreover, she didn’t want to live the rest of her life in torment.
Having lived for over fifty years, she felt it was enough.
...
In the scenes Lin Xiaoyan "saw," Zeng Shan’s wife was infected by him, and she committed suicide.
Yet he continued to live free and easy.
His son and daughter-in-law no longer cared about him, but he had a pension. Without his son, daughter-in-law, and wife, in the park’s dance floor, he was like a golden bachelor!
He only needed to spend the cost of a pack of cigarettes to have someone dance with him.
Spend another half or full pack, and he could...
...
The Lin Xiaoyan family played in Ning City for two days.
On the third day at noon, Lin Cong and his wife Li Yan took time off to meet Lin Fu and Lin Mu.
"Uncle, Aunt!"
Lin Cong greeted Lin Fu and Lin Mu with a big smile.
Li Yan also followed suit.
"Sister-in-law, Sister."
Seeing Fan Lalan and Lin Xiaoyan, the two quickly greeted them.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at her sister-in-law, "Yanyan, you’ve lost weight!"
Li Yan smiled, "Yes, I finally did."
She touched her waist. When she was at home, no matter what she did, she couldn’t lose weight. Now working away from home without anything to worry about, plus working in a factory, she naturally slimmed down.
Fan Lalan looked at Li Yan’s figure, eyes full of envy.
"Yanyan, how much do you weigh now?"
Li Yan: "One hundred and ten pounds."
"One hundred and ten pounds!!!"
Fan Lalan looked at Li Yan with bright eyes, "How much weight did you lose in such a short time!"
Lin Cong laughed, "She doesn’t eat at night, wouldn’t she lose weight?"
Li Yan retorted, "Sometimes with overtime, there’s no time to eat."
Lin Fu and Lin Mu listened, eyes showing a look of concern.
"You’re so busy at the factory?"
Lin Cong: "Yes, we are quite busy. The factory is doing well, they’ve opened a new one here, and we came over. These days we’re cleaning and assembling machines, once that’s done, we’ll start officially working."
Lin Fu: "What’s your monthly pay?"
Lin Cong: "When we first started, it was tough, I got four thousand, she got over three thousand."
Li Yan: "Last month I earned more than him. I got six thousand, he got only over five thousand."
Lin Mu praised, "That’s great, together you both earn over ten thousand a month."
Lin Fu: "Great, after living expenses, you can save a few thousand a month."
"Work hard. While you’re young, work for a few more years."
Lin Cong nodded, "Got it, Uncle."
Lin Mu: "Let’s go, we’ll talk while eating."
