Chapter 337 Brother-in-law, I’m sorry
Two days later, Sunday.
Qi Zhiqiang felt uncomfortable and happened to be free today, so he asked his wife to accompany him to the hospital for a check-up.
In fact, he had occasionally felt pain in his abdomen since Tuesday, but he was very busy at work, so he put it off a little.
And from the inside, he didn't take it seriously. After all, he was only in his 40s this year and was still in his prime. What could be wrong with him?
But what is shocking is that the test results are not optimistic.
Especially three days later, the biopsy results showed that he had liver cancer, which was still at an advanced stage and had spread to a large area.
what does that mean? Even if people today are not very medically literate, they still know that when a diagnosis has been made, the patient's life is about to come to an end.
Qi Zhiqiang simply couldn't accept it, because he was still young, his favorite eldest son hadn't gotten married yet, and he hadn't had a grandson or granddaughter yet. How could he die like this?
But there is no way.
There is just no way.
"Why is this happening? My Zhiqiang has always done good things. Why did he get this disease?"
Wei Shufang almost collapsed.
She likes Qi Zhiqiang, and Qi Zhiqiang is her Bai Yueguang. She finally forced her sister to give him to her, but in the end...he is going to leave her in less than thirty years?
This is so unfair!
"Mom, Mom! Calm down, it's not that bad yet, as long as you listen to the doctor, it will definitely be cured, it will definitely be cured!"
Qi Weimin's heart has long been filled with grief, but he is the boss and the backbone of the Qi family, and he cannot collapse like his mother.
19th, late.
Chen Tao brought his children to the ward to visit Qi Zhiqiang.
After chatting and before leaving, Chen Tao said to Qi Weimin alone:
"Weimin, if you are willing, you can hurry up and go through the procedures to go abroad. I will send you to try abroad."
"Uncle! Thank you, I'll tell my dad."
Qi Weimin was very grateful.
But what he expected was that Qi Zhiqiang did not agree, and his attitude was very firm:
"Weimin, dad's disease can't be cured anywhere! Dad will never want to die in a foreign country. You must not agree to your uncle... Dad is begging you."
"Dad! Woohoo"
Qi Weimin couldn't help crying.
"Don't cry, don't cry... I have been busy working before, but now I finally have time to take a break, talk to you more, and care about you more. I really owe you and your mother my whole life..."
The meaning of Qi Zhiqiang's words naturally means that he still likes Wei Shuying, so he treats her children well. This will inevitably cause him to care less about Qi Weimin.
"No! You are very good to me and you don't owe me anything, not at all."
Qi Weimin is also a good man and likes his cousins very much, so why would he mind this?
However, Qi Weimin's younger brother and younger sister might be a little concerned.
"Haha...that's great! My son is really good..."
Looking at his eldest son, Qi Zhiqiang was really satisfied beyond words.
If you have a son like this, it won't matter even if you die now.
Listening to the conversation between father and son, Wei Shufang shed tears on the sidelines.

April 2, morning.
Tongwang Tower.
Chen Tao took a sip of tea, then looked at his little daughter and asked curiously:
"Simei, if you invite dad over for morning tea alone, you must have something to ask me for. Please tell me quickly. As long as it's reasonable, I will definitely help."
Qiao Simei said shyly: "Dad, something happened to me at school, and the teacher wants to ask you to come over."
Chen Tao guessed: "Besides bad grades, what else could happen to you? Could it be that you read unhealthy extracurricular books and were caught by the teacher?"
When Qiao Simei was told the central issue, she stammered and laughed dryly: "No, no"
Chen Tao smiled and asked: "Have you not read this kind of book? Or do you have this kind of book but haven't started reading it yet?"
Qiao Simei's face burned red, her scalp was numb and she stretched out her index and middle fingers.
Chen Tao scratched her nose and said:
"You are so stupid. You will be caught even reading this book. What else can you do in the future?"
ah?
Qiao Simei looked confused, thinking to herself, is dad encouraging her or sarcastic?
School.
"Comrade Qiao, I'm not the one who said you should really take care of your daughter!"
The middle-aged female teacher sighed: "I have read your book and know something about you. You are a good father, very sensible, especially good to your daughter. But we cannot spoil our children! You yourself Look, she even dares to read this book, it’s really... Anyway, you have to educate her well, and you can’t let her do anything random anymore."
Chen Tao opened it and saw that it was a handwritten version of "Girl's Heart".
Naturally, Chen Tao has never seen this thing.
After all, he already had playback equipment when he was a boy, and this book has long been out of date.
"..."
The female teacher was speechless. Old Qiao must be too shameless to read it in front of her.
Chen Tao glanced at it for a few times, then closed it and said to Qiao Simei:
"Although you haven't read it, it's wrong to take this book. You should apologize to the teacher first."
The female teacher reminded: "Don't listen to your daughter. She said she didn't read it. Does that mean she really didn't read it?"
Qiao Simei suddenly became angry.
Chen Tao smiled and said: "This girl will not lie to me. Teacher, if you don't believe it, you can accompany us to do a fingerprint identification. I am sure that there is absolutely no fingerprint of my daughter on this book."
This book was wrapped in an old newspaper. Qiao Simei had never read it. She didn't even learn about it until she got married.
The female teacher sighed: "Forget it, I believe she didn't look."
Then he looked at Simei: "From now on, you must not take things given by others, and you are not allowed to read miscellaneous books. Do you understand?"
Qiao Simei hummed, too embarrassed to even raise her head.
Chen Tao patted the book in his hand and said to the teacher:
"This girl in my family, because her mother passed away too early, it is not convenient for me to teach her, so she does not know this knowledge. If you are willing, teacher, why not teach it for me!"
The female teacher shook her head repeatedly: "You can find someone else to teach you, I can't teach you this."
Fine!
Sanli was too embarrassed to teach her younger sister, so Chen Tao would do it himself. Anyway, he had already taught Sanli, so it would be okay to teach another one.
And he went into detail so he could better protect them.
As for this broken book, let’s take it back and burn it!
noon.
Qiao's main hall.
"...Now, do you understand what that boy wants to do? Bullshit love!"
Chen Tao spent half an hour explaining love and whatnot very clearly.
By the way, even Auntie Yao, the author of the books she loved to read, explained how she rose to the position of junior high school student.
If Qiao Simei still approves this kind of love like a fool, then Chen Tao won't bother to say anything anymore and just let her do it!
"I'll pay attention to it in the future."
Qiao Si's voice was as beautiful as a mosquito's, and her ears turned red.
Little did she know that the so-called "I like someone has nothing to do with anyone else, nor does it have anything to do with someone" was just a fake love, actually meant to rob a man!
When she goes to school in the afternoon, she has to tell her classmates so that they can also gain insights.
"Let's eat noodles! After eating, go to the room to take a nap. From now on, you should calm down and stop thinking about these messy things."
"Um!"
***
In the afternoon half a month later.
Writer.
"Brother Yicheng, you must be very happy to have dinner and chat with your uncle, right?"
Wen Ju'an said enviously.
Of course she also has a father, but her father was born in the countryside and was not looked down upon by her mother. It was only when he went to the countryside that they were connected by accident.
Later, Wenxue returned to the city and was not allowed to recognize her father.
She naturally disagreed, and Wen Xue was very strict, so this girl deliberately became rebellious and was unwilling to study hard.
In fact, she is very sensible, but she just doesn't understand the conflict between her parents.
"Happiness? Ju'an, don't be too sad. You have lost your father and I have lost my mother. We all have to be strong..."
Qiao Yicheng comforted.
"Nonsense, my father is still here!"
Wen Ju'an said angrily.
"Ah? Is your dad on a business trip? Why doesn't he see anyone else?"
Qiao Yicheng was very curious.
In his eyes, Aunt Wen was undoubtedly a very outstanding woman, and what kind of outstanding man would he be if she could be her husband?
"I won't tell you... Unless you take me to see your dad, I won't tell you about my dad."
"Aunt Kewen's side..."
"So stupid, so stupid! How could Uncle Guanhai have a stupid son like you!"
"ah?"
***
In early May, Qi Zhiqiang was moved to his home.
Compared with his previous appearance, he was now as skinny and hunched, like a candle in the wind.
But there was still a strong light in his eyes.
This is not a desire for survival, but an obsession with something or someone.
That evening, Qi Zhiqiang suddenly became energetic. Wei Shufang knew that this tall, steady sweetheart who didn't love her was finally leaving her forever.
9 p.m.
On the right side of the main hall of the Qi family, there is a straw mat covered with cotton tires.
Qi Zhiqiang lay on it, his eyes wandering like beans, trying to use up his last remaining energy to remember everyone's faces in his mind.
Finally, his eyes stayed on Chen Tao and did not move away for a long time.
Chen Tao knew very well that this good uncle wanted to talk to him.
So he sat down, put his ear to his lips, and heard him murmur:
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I have to go see Shuying. This time, I will never give her up to you under any circumstances. Can you forgive me?"
Chen Tao straightened up and nodded solemnly.
Seeing his agreement, Qi Zhiqiang's skinny cheeks suddenly showed a reassuring smile, and then fell into a final coma.
Three hours later, Qi Zhiqiang opened his eyes again and spit some yellow spit...
While Wei Shufang was dressing him, she cried and shouted: "Zhiqiang, don't leave me like this!"
The nephews also cried:
"dad!"
"dad!"
"UuuuUncle! Uncle!"
"Woooooooo..."
Amid the overwhelming cries, Qi Zhiqiang closed his eyes again and could not wake up this time.
Three days later, Qi Zhiqiang's funeral arrangements were completed.
Except for the Qi family, who were still immersed in grief, and a few children of the Qiao family, the rest of the relatives had returned to their normal lives.
Life is short and impermanent, so we all have to move forward. (End of chapter)
