Chapter Thirty-seven: The Unfilial Son

In these three days, apart from taking Li Xiaohu back to his residence to take a shower and change clothes, Lu Feng had been staying in the medical clinic.

Upon hearing Shang Wende's words, he felt happy for the middle-aged woman and nodded with a smile.

The middle-aged woman and Li Xiaohu, on the other hand, showed expressions of wild joy. Previously, they were almost disheartened and had lost all hope. They never expected that in just a few days, the situation would take a turn for the better, as if they had pushed aside the clouds and seen the clear blue sky. It was just like the saying goes, "Mountains multiply and streams double back I doubt there's even a path; Willows cluster darkly and blossoms shine another village ahead."

"Mom, you're finally going to get better! I'm so happy."

Li Xiaohu held his mother's arm, his face filled with excitement.

"Yes! In the past, we spent a lot of money, and the doctors in those big hospitals all said that my illness was too serious to be cured. I never expected that when I was almost in despair, I would see the hope of survival again. Dr. Shang, you're truly a living genius doctor! And you have a heart of a bodhisattva. Good people will surely be rewarded!"

The middle-aged woman said with a face full of gratitude.

In these three days, Shang Wende and Lu Feng had treated their mother and son like family. This made the mother and son, who had experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, even more grateful to Shang Wende and Lu Feng.

Shang Wende waved his hand. He didn't care about such words of gratitude at all and smiled, saying, "Although your condition has stabilized, you can't afford any more. In the days to come, you need to have a good rest. I know you want Xiaohu to live a good life, but it's not the time yet. After your illness is completely cured, you can work hard then. You should lie down more often in the future. Even in big hospitals, many patients recover well by lying in bed and resting. It's okay not to take medicine. In a relaxed state, the body's functions can recover quickly on their own."

After saying that, Shang Wende paused for a moment and then continued, "Don't have any mental burden. I can confirm that there's not much problem with your illness anymore, so don't put pressure on yourself. Many patients' conditions were not serious originally, but their psychological qualities were too poor. As a result, they scared themselves, and eventually, due to the mental pressure, their conditions got worse and worse. As a joke goes, they scared themselves to death!"

A smile appeared on the middle-aged woman's face. How could she not understand Shang Wende's words? She smiled and said, "Dr. Shang, don't worry. I will definitely have a good rest. I don't want to die. I want to live, to see my son get married and have children, and to wait for my grandchildren!"

Shang Wende chuckled and nodded, saying, "That's good. With this kind of mindset, you can live a long life!"

After saying that, he called out to Lu Feng and walked into the inner room.

"Master, you called me?"

Lu Feng followed Shang Wende into the inner room, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Shang Wende smiled and said, "Later, you go to the train station and buy two train tickets back to Gansu for their mother and son. Now that the patient's body is okay, after they go back, they can take the traditional Chinese medicine on time every day. They've been out for so long and should go back. They're in a strange place, and many things are difficult to handle. Although we have the ability to support them for a lifetime, it's obvious that they're not the kind of people who rely on others. So, for the sake of her recuperation and to put their minds at ease, it's better to send them back."

Lu Feng understood his master's meaning and smiled, saying, "Okay, I'll go later!"

The Jiyang City Railway Station was still crowded with people. It took Lu Feng a long time to buy two sleeper train tickets from Jiyang City to Lanzhou, Gansu Province, and he even bought two lower berths.

He knew that Li Xiaohu's mother's constitution was still too weak. If she was in the middle or upper berth, it would definitely be inconvenient.

On the way back, Lu Feng went to the bank and opened a new bank card in his name, depositing 100,000 yuan in it. He planned to give this money to Li Xiaohu. Li Xiaohu was still young, had endured so many hardships, and still needed to treat his mother's illness, so it was absolutely necessary for him to have money!

The sun was shining brightly, and birds were singing and flowers were blooming.

It seemed that the smell of happiness was floating in the air.

At this moment, Lu Feng suddenly felt very grateful to his master, Shang Wende, for leading him into the palace of medicine. Watching a person on the verge of death come back to life under his miraculous treatment was a very wonderful feeling.

Accumulate good deeds in secret and save all living beings.

As the Buddhist saying goes: Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Treating the sick and saving lives is to accumulate good deeds in secret and save all living beings!

When he returned to the medical clinic, Lu Feng found that Li Xiaohu was sitting outside the medical clinic, and his mother had also been helped out by him to bask in the sun. Judging from the middle-aged woman's complexion, she looked even better than before.

Handing the two train tickets to Li Xiaohu, Lu Feng turned to the middle-aged woman with a kind smile and said, "Auntie, these are the train tickets back to Gansu. Your illness is not a big problem anymore. As long as you have a good rest, you should be completely cured in a few months. You must be homesick after being out for so many days, right?"

The middle-aged woman's face changed, and even Li Xiaohu showed a strange expression.

Lu Feng was slightly taken aback, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his heart. Judging from the expressions of the mother and son, it seemed that they didn't want to go back!

What was going on?

Did they have some unspeakable secret? Or did they not even have a home anymore? Were they homeless?

"Auntie, what's wrong with you..."

Lu Feng asked curiously.

The middle-aged woman glanced at her son, let out a deep sigh, and then slowly stood up and walked into the medical clinic alone.

This time, Li Xiaohu didn't help his mother in. His expression alternated between sadness and anger. After his expression changed several times, he gritted his teeth and said, "Big Brother Lu, we have nowhere to live if we go back. The house has been occupied by those two people. Even if we go back, my mother won't be able to have a good rest."

The look of confusion in Lu Feng's eyes became even stronger, and he asked, "Occupied by those two people? Who are those two people?"

Li Xiaohu bit his lower lip for a long time before saying angrily, "They are my eldest brother and second brother."

His voice was filled with great anger.

"You have an eldest brother and a second brother? Are they your biological brothers?" Lu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

Li Xiaohu nodded and said hatefully, "Yes, they are my biological brothers. But from the moment I took my mother and left home, they were no longer my real eldest brother and second brother!"

"What happened?" Lu Feng asked eagerly.

Li Xiaohu pointed to the bench where his mother had just sat, motioned for Lu Feng to sit down, and then said with hatred, "My father passed away early. It was my mother who raised the three of us brothers. Now, both my eldest brother and second brother are married and have their own families. But they are ungrateful wretches who forget their mother once they get married. Our mother worked so hard to raise us, but after they got married, they didn't care about our mother's life or death. They even often asked my mother for money. Later, my mother got sick. When I went to them, they actually drove me out. Not only did they not give money for my mother's treatment, but even after we sold all the valuable things in the house, they said they wanted to divide the family property, claiming that they were also entitled to it. So they drove me and my mother out, occupied the house, and left us to fend for ourselves..."

"Worse than beasts!"

After listening, the veins on Lu Feng's forehead bulged. As soon as Li Xiaohu finished speaking, he stood up angrily and roared.

In his life, he had never imagined that there could be such unfilial and rebellious sons in the world. Their behavior was simply that of heartless and ungrateful wretches!

Before he knew it, the aged figure of Shang Wende appeared behind the two of them. From his tightly clenched fists and the anger in his eyes, it could be seen that he had heard all of Li Xiaohu's words!

Who says the heart of an inch-long grass can requite the radiance of full spring? Even a little lamb kneels while nursing from its mother. Those two guys are simply worse than beasts!

A mother is the dearest person in the world; a mother's love is the deepest emotion in the world. How couldn't they understand that "The kindness of the mother's ten-month pregnancy is too heavy to be repaid even in three lifetimes!"

He hated unfilial people the most in his life!

Lu Feng was filled with anger. After roaring, he turned around. When he saw his master, Shang Wende, his face was stunned. Then he pleaded, "Master, I want to go to Gansu myself and send Xiaohu and his mother back. I'll come back after solving this matter."

Shang Wende looked at Lu Feng with a complicated expression. He knew exactly what Lu Feng was thinking. Now, Lu Feng was probably filled with righteous indignation, right? His apprentice was too kind-hearted. He just didn't know whether it would be a good or a bad thing in the future.

There was one more thing. He knew very well in his heart that, with his apprentice's temper, when he got there and saw the faces of those two unfilial sons, he would definitely not be able to hold back from using force, and he might even get into some trouble.

But he also believed in his apprentice's ability and means. Maybe this time it might not be the most perfect solution, but it was a very good opportunity for training.

Nodding gently, Shang Wende said a word: "Keep a good mindset. Be sure to stay calm. If necessary, give those two unfilial people a good beating!"

Lu Feng was slightly taken aback and nodded excitedly. Since his master had allowed him to use force, what else was he afraid of!

He didn't go to the train station to buy an additional ticket. Instead, he directly handed the two train tickets to his master, Shang Wende, hoping that he would have time to return them. Then he took Li Xiaohu and his mother to the airport.

On the way there, he had called to inquire and learned that there was a flight from Jiyang City to Lanzhou, Gansu Province at 4:30 p.m.

The reason why Lu Feng chose to take a plane instead of a train was not that he didn't want to take the train. He had his own plan. Li Xiaohu's two brothers were so unfilial. This time, he was sending their mother and son back to seek justice for them. So he decided to take them back in a high-profile way, so that Li Xiaohu's two brothers could see that their mother was living well and would have an even better life in the future.

For the mother and son from the countryside, taking a plane made them both excited and nervous. They had never even taken a train, let alone a plane. In order to save money, Li Xiaohu's mother had persuaded Lu Feng to take the train, but Lu Feng refused.

He had his own plan. Since he was going this time, he was going to seek justice for this poor mother and son.
