"Hey, Brother Wang, are you awake?! How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Are you feeling nauseous?" Dr. Zhang's cheerful voice caused Tang Li to calm down and interrupted her confused thoughts as she turned her head towards the hospital bed.
"Dizziness, nausea, and discomfort," Wang Wuying replied with difficulty and his trembling hands betraying the ginkgo fruit toxin's effects.
"You ate too many ginkgo fruits and were poisoned. Fortunately, Minghuan and Xiao Li found you, rescued you in time, and sent you here, so we can save your life!"
Dr. Zhang took his pulse and conducted a rudimentary examination, then delivered the diagnosis:
"There are still toxins in your body that haven't been cleared. You need to take medicine for two more days. You can rest here tonight and go back when you feel better tomorrow."
Wang Wuying nodded weakly and turned to Yi Minghuan and Tang Li with a grateful smile, "Thank you, thank you."
When he had collapsed and lost consciousness, he had thought he'd go to the underworld to reunite with his son and wife in the afterlife. At that time he believed that there was nothing to fear in death.
If you die, you die, and there is nothing to worry about!
But now, after being rescued, he felt it was better to live, for his son and wife, to burn incense for them, and to share more stories about them with others.
"Uncle Wang, you don't have to thank me. Get some rest. We'll come to see you tomorrow," Tang Li reassured him with a warm smile.
Yi Minghuan chimed in with a few comforting words, though his tone was slightly awkward. Tang Li couldn't help but glance at him a couple of times in amusement.
The two of them had a harmonious relationship, but they had yet to discuss renting Uncle Wang's house. Given the circumstances, it didn't seem appropriate. After a few more words with Uncle Wang, they left.
Returning home, Tang Li pushed the courtyard door, only to find it locked. She gritted her teeth, anger coursing through her veins, as it was clear they were locked out intentionally.
"Let's bang the door!" she suggested, gearing up to wake the occupants and see if they were asleep.
Locking them out in such a childish and malicious way was undoubtedly Gu Xiulan's idea.
"They won't open the door even if you bang it. Kick it open," Yi Minghuan suggested, eyeing the wooden door. He had learned from experience that the people inside would remain unresponsive even if they were awakened, so he proposed an alternative solution.
Tang Li took a step back, giving him a nod of approval. "Brother, please start your performance."
"....", Yi Minghuan glanced at her, though the darkness obscured her expression, he sensed she was not hiding her amusement and her true nature from him anymore.
This playful nature is her true disposition.
Focusing his strength on his legs, Yi Minghuan kicked the door with a resounding bang, causing the bolt to snap, and the door swung open.
"Amazing!" Tang Li praised, giving him a thumbs-up. As they entered the courtyard, she held her head high, relishing her small victory.
"What's going on?! What's going on!" Yi Wanjing, clad only in an oversized underwear, rushed out of the room, saw the two of them, and exclaimed in shock:
"How did you get in?!"
"Of course, we entered the house through the door, but the door bolt is too flimsy. Minghuan kicked it once and it broke open. You should replace it with a thicker one tomorrow," Tang Li remarked with a smile as she walked past him.
Her words carried a taunting tone, causing Yi Wanjing to be momentarily taken aback and irritated.
He watched them pass with wide eyes but dared not utter a word to scold them....
