416. Dutiful sons and virtuous grandchildren are all ironic
"Brother Xiaoran, don't be sad. In my opinion, this is an inevitable disaster in my wife's life. Your mother died because of her back then, and now she dies because of you and me. Maybe this is God's arrangement." "I avenged your mother's revenge for him."
Qiao An's comfort made Huo Xiaoran feel relieved.
"It is true that there is a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant. It seems that as a human being, you must not have evil thoughts. Otherwise, retribution will come to you sooner or later."
Qiao An said: "Brother Xiaoran, they have given you a difficult problem. How are you going to tell the old man about your wife's death?"
Huo Xiaoran said: "Let's take it one step at a time."
After Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An bid farewell to their wife's body, they returned to the lobby. Huo Xiaoran looked at a room full of filial sons and grandsons. At this moment, they all had their heads drooped. They didn't look sad at all, but more melancholy and embarrassed.
It seems that everyone has lost their backbone and has no master.
Huo Xiaoran curled her lips and sneered.
He said to Qiao An: "An'an, I'll go in to see the old man. Just wait for me here."
Qiao An nodded.
Huo Xiaoran came to the old man's ward. Now the old man's physical condition is getting worse and worse. He has been bedridden all year round. Although his sons are around, they seem to have neglected to supervise the nanny. There is an unpleasant smell in the room.<
/p>
When Huo Xiaoran entered, the old man saw him, looking lonely.
Huo Xiaoran sat in front of him, and the old man said with a dull expression: "Why don't you think the Lord of Hell doesn't want me? It's such a suffering to live."
Huo Xiaoran said: "Not happy?"
The old man said angrily: "Those three houses were fighting every day for three days. I couldn't stop them. I was powerless and heartbroken. I couldn't control the filial sons and grandsons in this house, so I could only offend my wife and take action. But my wife's heart was weak.
Yesterday she committed suicide by taking medicine. Fortunately she was found early and was taken to the hospital for gastric lavage."
"It's so boring to live." The old man sighed.
Huo Xiaoran was silent.
The old man had no idea that his wife was helpless.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't settle the matter of the third bedroom." He said guiltily.
The old man waved his hand: "I can see that no one can deal with the mess of the third room. Your third brother has committed too many sins, and he will never find peace in this life."
Huo Xiaoran thought for a while and said, "Dad, it's rare for me to come here. Why don't I push you out for a walk?"
The old man nodded quickly: "Okay. If you don't come, they won't bother to push me out for a walk."
Huo Xiaoran cast a sharp gaze on the servant: "You have been in the Li family for so many years, and this is how you treat the old man?"
The servant looked ashamed: "Fourth Young Master, the Li family is financially strapped, and my wife has dismissed many servants. I can't keep my hands full."
Huo Xiaoran sighed softly.
He didn't expect that the Li family would be in such a dire situation?
"Why didn't you tell me?" he blamed the old man.
The old man said: "Xiaoran, my wife has felt very guilty towards you and your mother since she knew the truth. She doesn't want to implicate you. She said that as your stepmother, she has never been kind to you in her life. She has no shame in asking you for help."
/p>
Huo Xiaoran was silent. After a long time, he said lightly: "Actually, I have forgiven her a long time ago."
The right and wrong between my wife and Xiaoran’s mother just originated from a misunderstanding that cannot be explained.
The old man smiled and said: "If she knows that you have forgiven her, she will be very happy."
Huo Xiaoran's heart was filled with congestion.
Because my wife will never know.
He carried the old man into the wheelchair and pushed him out of the bedroom.
When they came to the living room, the old man saw that everyone in the living room had sad faces. They could not even hide their panic when they saw him. He was startled.
An ominous premonition instantly hit my whole body.
"Where is your mother?" he asked.
His eyes swept over the faces of his sons and daughters-in-law. Their expressions when they looked at him were full of fear. The old man said angrily: "Your mother is in the hospital, what are you all doing here? Why don't you go to the hospital to accompany your mother?"
No one dared to look at him. They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Huo Xiaoran sighed weakly and said to the old man: "Let's go, I'll take you to see my wife."
Mr. Li looked at Huo Xiaoran suspiciously, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Huo Xiaoran pushed him and walked out of the gate.
Li Tingfeng and his brothers stood up slowly and followed behind with their necks hunched.
Several daughters-in-law of the Li family followed silently.
The children also consciously followed behind.
Mr. Li turned around and looked at this posture, and his fingers suddenly started to tremble.
"Xiaoran, where are you taking me?"
Huo Xiaoran didn't answer him, but pushed him towards the morgue in the back garden.
When Mr. Li entered the back garden, he immediately saw that the usual storage room had changed. The courtyard at the door was clean, the door was open, and candlelight flickered.
Mr. Li screamed in pain: "Ah."
Huo Xiaoran's eyes turned red. He pushed the old man step by step to the morgue. Master Li finally saw his wife lying in the coffin.
He was stunned.
The air became silent.
After a while, I heard Mr. Li's heartbreaking cry: "Madam, how could you leave before me?"
The old man, a business tycoon of a generation, now cries like a child. It makes people cry.
Huo Xiaoran's throat felt blocked, and her sharp gaze fell on the culprit Li Tingfeng like a sharp blade.
"Third brother, call Li Zecheng and Li Zeen and ask them to come back to express condolences to my wife." Huo Xiaoran ordered in an irresistible tone.
Li Tingfeng was speechless: "Huo Xiaoran, which pot are you not picking up? You clearly know that my wife was angered by that unfilial son."
Huo Xiaoran said: "No, my wife is mad at you. Because she loves Zecheng and Zaen. And you kicked out her favorite grandchildren. You made a good family fall apart. It was you who made my wife's heart break.
Full of self-blame and despair. She felt that she had failed to teach her son well and ended up with hatred."
Li Tingfeng was furious: "Huo Xiaoran, why do you always go against me?"
Huo Xiaoran said: "In front of my wife's spiritual body, third brother, please control your temper."
Li Tingfeng has no confidence.
At this time, the second lady came out and said to Huo Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, don't worry, I have already informed Zechen and Zeen. I believe they will be here soon."
Huo Xiaoran stopped making things difficult for Li Tingfeng.
Mr. Li talked dejectedly to his wife for a while. Maybe her wife left and took away his thoughts. At that moment, he looked haggard.
He looked feebly at the descendants of the Li family, and suddenly laughed miserably: "It's better for your mother to leave, so that she won't be unhappy every day seeing you beasts."
