NFBE Chapter 541 Ahhhhhhh
Chapter 541 Ahhhhhhh
Chapter 541 Ahhhhh, Lu Guodong's parents died a long time ago.
The old man in front of him is Lu Guodong's father-in-law.
Lu Guodong, who had just woken up, was a little confused and didn't understand why his father-in-law appeared here.
Seeing his father-in-law's familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, Lu Guodong lowered his head.
Once upon a time, his father-in-law and mother-in-law treated him very well, just like their own son.
Even though he divorced his wife because of his fault.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law didn’t say anything. They just said that whether your life is good or bad, we will not get involved.
Even after Lu Guodong had a car accident, his father-in-law and mother-in-law came to visit him.
But after that, there was no contact.
When Lu Guodong was looking for his wife, he also went to his father-in-law's house.
Likewise, the house has changed owners.
As he spoke, Lu Guodong raised his hand and fumbled in his pocket, trying to find a cigarette, but found that he was wearing a hospital gown.
Lu Guodong rubbed his hands awkwardly and looked for his clothes.
Seeing this, the father-in-law took out a box of ten-yuan Hongtashan cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to me, "Smoke one secretly. The doctor has repeatedly warned you not to smoke anymore. Your physical condition does not allow it. You don't mind my cigarettes, do you?"
Lu Guodong was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the cigarette, muttering, "Dad, how could you dislike it?" He lit the cigarette with trembling hands and took a deep breath. In the smoke, his eyes became more and more confused.
"Dad...why...why is Min here?"
The father-in-law slowly sat down on a chair beside him, looked at Lu Guodong with complicated eyes, sighed and said, "You fainted and were sent to the hospital, and then the phone call came to me."
"Your mother has not been in good health these years, otherwise she would have come with you."
Lu Guodong bit his lip, feeling guilty: "Dad, I'm sorry. I made you worry again."
My father-in-law waved his hand: "Why are you still talking about this now?" He paused, then continued: "Guodong, it has not been easy for you to be alone these years. Seeing you like this, I feel bad too."
Lu Guodong took a puff of cigarette and slowly blew out smoke rings: "Dad, it's all my fault... Um... Is Wei Hong doing well?"
The father-in-law was silent, and he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, "When you mention Xiaohong, your mother and I hate you."
"We chose to marry our daughter to you because you are a good person and you are hardworking and motivated. But you are too stubborn sometimes!"
"When you divorced Xiao Hong, if Xiao Hong hadn't stopped you, I really wanted to slap you twice. Has our Xiao Hong ever been bad to you?"
"I'm sorry, Dad... There's nothing wrong with Xiaohong. It's all my fault. It's all my fault..." Lu Guodong interrupted apologetically.
The father-in-law was stunned for a moment and sighed silently: "What's the point of saying all this? The person is gone..."
"Hmm..." Lu Guodong nodded subconsciously, and after a moment he suddenly grabbed his father-in-law's arm, "Dad! What did you just say? What happened to Xiaohong?"
The father-in-law took a deep puff of his cigarette and told Lu Guodong what happened.
"You know what Xiao Hong will tell me when she wakes up?"
"At that time, she still had you in her heart!"
"Let me not tell you, because I'm afraid you'll be sad, blame yourself, or lose the courage to live!"
"With her last breath, she begged me to move and wrote me one last letter."
Lu Guodong's hands drooped weakly, and he sat on the bed as if struck by lightning. The cigarette slipped from his fingers, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word. Tears flowed uncontrollably, blurring his vision.
"Dad... I... I didn't know... I didn't know it would be like this..." Lu Guodong burst into tears, his heart filled with endless regret and pain.
The father-in-law patted Lu Guodong on the shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "Guodong, these years, I have been holding back some words in my heart that I want to tell you."
"I didn't expect that when we met again, it would be like this."
"Your mother and I still have some money here. It's what you left for Xiaohong and the child."
"After they both passed away, the money has been with me and your mother."
"We are both old and don't have much to spend. Besides, we both have pensions. We spent some of this money when we moved."
"The doctor said that if you actively cooperate with the treatment, you may be able to live a little longer."
Lu Guodong slowly raised his head and looked at his father-in-law with tearful eyes. His voice was hoarse and desperate: "Dad, no need. I know my body well. Even if I actively treat it, it will only delay my life and waste money. I just want to see Xiaohong and the child now."
Father-in-law frowned, "Guodong, don't give up so easily. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to try. You don't have to worry about the money, Dad has it."
Lu Guodong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Dad, I have made too many mistakes. This may be God's punishment for me. My only wish now is to go to their graves, apologize to them and their mother, and spend some time with them."
My father-in-law was silent, his eyes full of helplessness and sadness. After a long while, he nodded gently: "Okay, Guodong, I will arrange for you to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning, and I will accompany you."
The next morning, Lv Guodong, led by his father-in-law, came to the graves of his wife and children. He gently stroked the cold tombstones and burst into tears: "Xiaohong, son, I'm sorry for you. I'm late."
The wind whistled in his ears, as if it was the response from his wife and children. Lv Guodong just kept crying and crying, expressing his longing and regret over the years. "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely be a good husband and a good father."
Lu Guodong stayed there until the sun was about to set before leaving after being persuaded by his father-in-law.
After returning from the cemetery, Lu Guodong's spirit became increasingly depressed. He refused further treatment and just sat quietly in front of the window every day, recalling the good old days.
His father-in-law wanted to accompany him, but was driven away by Lu Guodong.
But my father-in-law still insisted on coming to see him every day...
It was a sunny day and the father-in-law kept knocking on Lu Guodong's roller shutter door, but he never responded.
The young wife from the supermarket next door came out, looked at him and smiled: "Are you here to look for Old Lu again? I saw him go out early in the morning. I don't know where he went, and he hasn't come back since."
"Thank you, I'll give him a call and ask."
My father-in-law had a bad feeling and his hand holding the phone was shaking slightly.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
"Hello...Dad..." Lu Guodong's voice was extremely weak.
"Guodong, where are you?" the father-in-law asked anxiously.
Lu Guodong stroked his wife's tombstone and raised his spirits. "Dad... There is a spare key of mine in the supermarket next door, and I put a bank card in the house."
"The password of the bank card is Xiaohong's birthday. Inside... is my savings over the years, more than 50,000 yuan."
"I...want to ask you...can you bury me and your Xiaohong together?"
