Chapter 378 If It Wasn’t So Mediocre
After Ruanruan left, the two old men got up and drove to find their leader with their guards, regardless of whether it was dark or not.
This matter is too big. Even though there are still three months left, there are still many things that need to be dealt with in the capital. In Tang City, when the earthquake comes, the resettlement and evacuation of the people, as well as supplies and food, all need to be considered.
That night, the two old men did not return home until after 10 o'clock.
The next day, early in the morning, a document was sent directly to the military region and government where Tangcheng was located.
On the third day, every commune in Tang City began to build shelters in the suburbs.
Of course, Ruanruan did not pay attention to the changes in Tangcheng. Since she had figured out the relationship between the Zhao family, the Xu family and the Poison Lady, Ruanruan no longer went to bed on time every day as usual. Instead, she waited for Huo Haojie and the little cat to come back and explain to her what happened that day.
Sisters Luo Yufeng and Luo Yufang woke up after lunch. Seeing them wake up, both the Zhao and Xu families who were waiting in the ward were overjoyed.
"Mom, aunt, you finally woke up, it's great"
"Mom, Auntie, it's great that you woke up."
When Xu Youwei and Zhao Xingzhong saw their mother wake up, they happily stood up from their stools and quickly came to them.
"What happened to us?" After Luo Yufeng woke up, she first heard her son's excited voice, then looked at the environment they were in and asked in confusion, didn't they just take a nap? Why did they come to the hospital?
"Mom, you have been sleeping since last night. When it was time for dinner this morning, I saw that you and Dad hadn't woken up yet, so I went to call you. But no matter how we called, you wouldn't wake up. We were so worried that we sent you to the hospital. The doctor's examination results showed that you have been overworked during this period of time, and your anger has caused problems with your body functions, which is why this happened."
Xu Youwei explained to them why he was in the hospital. "Mom, I'm sorry. We are useless. You and Dad have to worry about everything. If we were more capable, you wouldn't..."
Since childhood, Xu Youwei was told that he would inherit the Xu family when he grew up. The Xu family has been training him according to the standards of an heir. However, whether he was in school or studying at home, he always showed mediocre abilities.
Especially in school, there are the brothers Ruan Chuanji from the Ruan family, the brothers Gu Wenpeng from the Gu family, and several brothers from the Lan family. Their performance in school has always been top-notch, and they are constantly competing with each other. On the other hand, the two brothers from the Xu family and the two brothers from the Zhao family have always been at the middle level.
In addition, everyone was in the same circle. Ruan Chuanji and the others had been good friends since childhood, and the elders of several families were relatives, so no matter what they did, they were always together. Xu Youwei and his friends had never been able to fit in with them. Every time the aristocratic families had an opportunity, they would compare them. Of course, the good ones were taken by Ruan Chuanji and his friends. On the other hand, everyone described Xu Youwei and his brothers as mediocre.
Gradually, they accepted their fate, but their parents would not say anything in front of others after hearing such comments, but when they got home, they would keep telling them, "They think they are no worse than the old men from the Ruan, Gu, Su, and Lan families, but why are their children so much worse than theirs?" Not only that, they also always thought that they were not urging them enough. Every time they came home from school, they would take turns to supervise their studies, and when they were angry, they would use a ruler. If they made a mistake, it would be a ruler on the palm of their hand.
At that time, they had a stress reaction just by hearing the names of Ruan Chuanji, Gu Wenpeng and others.
As time passed, they grew up slowly, and Luo Yufeng and Luo Yufang could only accept their mediocrity.
But when he learned that Luo Yufeng went to the Gu family to propose marriage and wanted Xu Youwei to marry Gu Wenzhen, Xu Youwei actually resisted in his heart. He accepted his mediocrity, but he also had his own pride. Since he was a child, he had always been used to set off the children of the Ruan and Gu families. The thorn in his heart had never been removed, and he hated Ruan Chuanji and Gu Wenpeng.
Now he was asked to marry his enemy's sister, there was nothing he could do. Besides, he had witnessed with his own eyes the cruelty of Gu Wenpeng and his men, and he knew what kind of person he was. If he really married Gu Wenzhen, his life with her would be a mess, and according to the temperament of the Gu Wenpeng brothers, who were crazy about doting on their sister, he would definitely not have a good ending.
He was still thinking about how to stop this marriage, but then he received the news that the Gu family had rejected it. He should have been happy, but when he actually heard it, his heart ached.
I can’t describe what that feeling is.
After hearing the news that Ruan Chuanji and Gu Wenzhen were engaged, Luo Yufeng, in order to relieve her anger, quickly arranged a marriage for him with Song Ying of the Song family.
His marriage with Song Ying was just like him, plain and uneventful.
As he got older, he became more open-minded. But now, because of his mediocrity, his elderly mother and father have to worry about the family. Xu Youwei feels that he is ashamed of his parents.
"Youwei, this is not your fault. Get up now. Mother has something to ask you." Hearing her son's words that he felt ashamed of her, Luo Yufeng felt uncomfortable. Who doesn't want a child who can shoulder heavy responsibilities? But, alas, they don't have this blessing.
"Mom, what do you want to ask?" After hearing Luo Yufang's words, Xu Youwei wiped the tears from his face, stood up straight, straightened his clothes, and then asked.
"Are you sure that our coma this time was not caused by human error?" Luo Yufeng knew very well that she had been weighed down with things during this period, but she was not yet to the point of being furious or overworked. Moreover, her son had just said that he had been calling them. How could they be so comatose that they could not hear the shouting in their ears?
"Mom, I know what you are suspicious about, but it is really as the doctor examined. You are not poisoned. And the people who monitored Ruan Ruan reported the same result. She did not have time to commit the crime. She has been at home all this time and has not come to the door. I also asked my family members. During this period, only the Zhao family came to our house once. No other strangers came in."
Xu Youwei told Luo Yufeng all the information he had found out in the morning.
After listening to Xu Youwei's words, Luo Yufeng looked at the other people in the ward again. Seeing that they all nodded, Luo Yufeng didn't say anything else, but she still felt that this matter was very suspicious.
"Mom, let's not talk about this for now. You must be hungry after lying down for so long. Eat something first." Seeing that his mother still didn't want to believe it, Xu Youwei didn't try to convince her, because he knew that when his mother was stubborn, she would not listen even to his father.
"Mom, please try this. This is the soup that my daughter-in-law made at noon. The doctor said that after you wake up, you should try to eat more nutritious food to replenish your body."
Seeing Xu Youwei talking about food, Song Ying tactfully stood up, poured out some of the chicken soup in the thermos and brought it to the bedside.
Seeing this, Zhao Xingzhong's wife Wang Yuquan also imitated Song Ying's actions and poured out the soup that had been stewed long ago and brought it to her mother-in-law.
Compared to Song Ying, Wang Yuquan is more direct in character. At home, her relationship with Luo Yufang can only be said to be barely ok. Before, it was because she had to go out early and come back late every day for work, and Luo Yufang had her own things in mind, so she was too lazy to care about this eldest daughter-in-law. As long as their superficial relationship was okay, it was enough.
Today, because the two elderly people in her family were sick and hospitalized at the same time, she took a day off and stayed in the hospital with them. Otherwise, she would have gone back to work long ago.
