Chapter 59 If I were taken care of like you, even if I had nine lives, I wouldn't have enough t
"Ah~~ It's my eldest daughter, Yuheng! How could she know Liu Fengyi?! She even said I was his comrade-in-arms?! Who told her I was Liu Fengyi's comrade-in-arms?! Who's lying to my daughter?!"
Tong Linsheng was pacing anxiously. "Let me out! Someone must have given my daughter false information. Who is it? What are they plotting?!"
No one can harm my wife and daughter, my precious daughter! Don't believe the bad guys! Go home and protect your mother and sisters! Let me out! Ahhh! Let me out!
Tong Linsheng's soul screamed and went mad inside Liu Fengyi's body. As a father, he would worry that bad people would come into his daughter's life, but he never expected that his daughter would lie, and lie so smoothly at that.
Sitting by the hospital bed, Tong Yuheng saw no reaction from him and was somewhat disappointed, wondering if the spiritual spring water had not worked.
Seeing that there was still some spring water in the bowl, she picked it up again and said softly, "Uncle Liu, let me give you some more water. This water is so sweet! I'll be gentle this time..."
To avoid being accused of murder, Tong Yuheng was extremely careful when feeding him water this time. She dripped the water little by little through his teeth, and it took a full ten minutes to get the whole bowl of water into his mouth.
But she could clearly feel that Liu Fengyi's pulse had become clearer, and his complexion seemed to have improved. However, it was already past noon, so why hadn't the person taking care of the patient returned yet?
Since Tong Yuheng had promised the nurse to wait until Liu Fengyi's caregiver returned before leaving, she had to keep her word. She had a very bad impression of the person taking care of Officer Liu.
Taking this opportunity, she transferred some more spiritual spring water from her spatial storage to continue feeding him. In any case, spiritual spring water has miraculous effects on the recovery of both external and internal injuries, so drinking more won't hurt.
"Who are you? Why are you feeding him so much water? Don't you know that drinking too much water will cause him to pee a lot? He wet the bed, so you're cleaning it up!"
Sister-in-law Liu finally returned and saw a pretty young girl feeding her brother-in-law water. Instead of saying thank you, she started finding fault with him.
"Who are you? Is this how you take care of a patient? There's not a soul in sight. If this is how you take care of someone, even if Uncle Liu had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to keep him alive!"
Tong Yuheng could tell at a glance that this person was no good. This Officer Liu was really unlucky to have such a relative!
"I'm his sister-in-law, and as the eldest sister-in-law, I'm in charge here. It's none of your business, you little brat, to nitpick! Since you're his junior, are you here to see him? Do you come empty-handed?"
"Whether I come empty-handed or not is none of your business, why don't you tell me?" Tong Yuheng originally wanted to take out some fruit from his space as a gift, but seeing this woman's behavior, he didn't want to give her the benefit, so he simply didn't take it.
Tong Linsheng's soul could hear all of this, and he couldn't help but give his eldest daughter a thumbs up: Good girl, your mouth is sharper than before!
Didn't this girl used to believe in using force rather than arguing? How come she's changed to "gentlemanly, using words, not fists" now?
After his sacrifice, his soul stayed with his wife and daughter. Recently, he noticed that his eldest daughter had changed a lot; she had become meticulous and good at planning before acting.
He also saw her make many things disappear, and sometimes make them appear again. It was amazing; she must have had some extraordinary encounters.
If he were alive, he would never have believed such a miraculous thing: he existed outside his physical body, yet no one could sense him.
Just as he followed Tong Yuheng to this small northern county and was about to return with her, she was sucked away by a mysterious force and then fell into darkness.
It was unclear how long it took—maybe a day, maybe several days—before he could feel people outside his body speaking and moving. But he couldn't respond or move, not even a finger.
His soul seemed to be bound by invisible ropes, unable to break free and take control of the body.
Tong Linsheng: Would you say I've been resurrected in another body? Where did the original owner of this body go? Why can't I get out?
"Get out, get out, get out! Where did this ignorant little brat come from? This is my brother-in-law. I don't welcome you. Get out of here!"
"If I hadn't promised the nurse I'd wait for you to come back, I would have left long ago. Who cares about your old face that looks like an orange peel!" Tong Yuheng pretended to be angry, picked up her crossbody bag and left.
"Who are you calling orange peels? What do you mean?" Aunt Liu knew it wasn't a nice thing to say, but she was still curious and followed her into the corridor to ask.
"I'm saying your skin is yellow, wrinkled, and thick-skinned—it's absolutely hideous, so ugly it's unbearable to look back on! If you don't understand these words, go back and have your school-aged child look them up in the dictionary!"
"Pfft! Hahaha! This girl has a really sharp tongue!"
"This woman is just here to get scolded; didn't you see that nobody wants to talk to her?"
"She's really going too far! She doesn't take good care of the patients, and she even asks them for things!"
Hearing the argument from the next ward, people came to watch the commotion. They couldn't help but laugh when they heard Tong Yuheng's description of Sister-in-law Liu, and they all commented that Sister-in-law Liu was not tactful in her actions.

On New Year's Eve, every household in the village puts up couplets and prepares for the New Year's Eve dinner. Occasionally, one or two firecrackers will be set off, bringing with them a strong festive atmosphere.
The Tong family will not put up couplets this year, as this is the first year since her husband's sacrifice, and the whole family must observe mourning and not hang any red decorations.
From the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they do not visit other people's homes. If they know that a family member has passed away, they will not disturb them unnecessarily.
They only need to live their lives behind closed doors, without having to entertain their neighbors. But they still need to prepare a lot of food, and when it gets dark, they will invite their relatives from the cowshed over for a meal and to stay up all night.
She refused to believe that anyone was so crazy as to not be home for the Lunar New Year's Eve and instead go looking for trouble with others.
After dark, Tong Jiahui brought the food to the table one after another. The kang (heated brick bed) was quite warm, and the coal stove was burning brightly, making the west room cozy and cozy.
The back door of the main room was left a crack, and soon, Tong Yucheng's thin figure quietly entered through the back door.
"Auntie! Big cousin, second cousin... Little Seven! Happy New Year!" The little boy called out in a low voice, his voice filled with excitement.
"Hey! Happy New Year! Yu Chen has grown taller!" Tong Jia Hui patted his head. He's only eleven years old, and he's almost as tall as her!
"Come and eat some candy! Eat some dried fruit!" Linglong stuffed a handful of each of them into his mouth.
Yuyao poured him a cup of hot water to warm his hands, and his two cousins invited him to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) and read comic books.
The young boy was once again the center of attention, pampered by his cousins, who showered him with all their treasured toys, books, and treats!
Tong Yucheng's eyes reddened. For years, he had almost been sold by his aunt. Later, he found his parents and went to a farm with them, where he was nearly killed by wild dogs. He was called the son of a bureaucratic capitalist, and no one had any friends to play with.
"Don't be sad, my dear. Your aunt and cousins will take care of you. Go play with them!"
A few minutes later, Tong Anfu quietly entered the room, followed by Tong Jiaming and his wife. The family was finally reunited.
