Chapter 61 His wife was still his wife, and his daughter was still his daughter.
Sister-in-law Liu's eyes darted around, and she said mysteriously, "I heard that if the third son dies, it's considered a work-related death, and they'll get a two thousand yuan compensation!"
"Then he's not dead, is he? That's obvious!"
"What's the difference between him being dead and alive? If he weren't on oxygen, he'd probably be meeting his maker by now. Just lying here like this costs tens of dollars a day!"
Sister-in-law Liu felt very distressed. If she gave them that much money, she could have built a house and gotten her son married.
"It's not like you have to pay for it, why bother with all that?" Liu Fengyu didn't think too much about it. He and his second brother took turns taking care of him for two days each. Sometimes there were nurses to help, but he didn't like to serve them.
"Honey, what if this tube falls out..." Aunt Liu whispered, secretly reaching out to touch the oxygen tube.
"Don't move!" Liu Fengyu glared fiercely at his wife and gently stopped her.
"I'm doing this for Daping's sake. If the third son keeps dragging this out, when will our son be able to take over? If this goes on, the compensation money will be gone..."
Tong Linsheng, the soul inside Liu Fengyi's body, was both angry and anxious. How could his own brother and sister-in-law be so eager for him to die? He originally thought his second brother and sister-in-law were unreliable and reckless, but he never expected his eldest brother and sister-in-law to be even more terrifying. His sister-in-law wanted him dead!
He had no memory of Liu Fengyi, nor did he know why this person was disliked by his elder brother and sister-in-law. Most of what he knew was passively learned from the words of the people who came to visit him during these days when he was trapped in this body.
Tong Linsheng: What if I wake up and don't recognize my former colleagues and friends? What if I'm unfamiliar with the work? Should I pretend to have amnesia?
Liu Fengyu fell silent upon hearing his wife's words, and his silence terrified Tong Linsheng: This cheap older brother of his, would he really pull the plug on him?
No one spoke in the ward. Liu Fengyu and his wife remained silent, and the atmosphere was very oppressive, lacking any festive spirit.
Liu Fengyu was torn between his thoughts and whether to remove the tubes. He didn't notice that the person on the hospital bed moved their fingers with difficulty!
That night, Liu Fengyu wanted to take action several times, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to kill his brother.
After a whole night of turmoil, he finally gave up on that terrible idea and drifted off to sleep by the hospital bed. Tong Linsheng, who was trapped inside Liu Fengyi's body, also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he relaxed a little too soon. Sister-in-law Liu came over from the guesthouse arranged for them by her workplace. Seeing that her husband hadn't made a move, a sudden malice arose in her heart, which she couldn't suppress!
She reached for the tube that was keeping Liu Fengyi alive, gently removed it, and waited to see how her brother-in-law would react!
But at that moment, Liu Fengyi suddenly opened his eyes! His gaze was cold and deep, staring straight at her!
"Ahhh! A ghost! Ahhhhh!" Sister Liu was terrified and screamed loudly, her shrill cries echoing throughout the entire floor.
The nurses and doctors on duty rushed over to check on him. Looking at his screaming wife and his cold-faced brother, Liu Fengyu was still a little bewildered.
What's going on? Am I dreaming? Did I dream that my third brother woke up?
"Third brother, you're awake! That's great! Are you feeling unwell anywhere? When did you wake up? Why didn't you call us?" Liu Fengyu snapped out of his daze and thought to himself: Alright, the third brother is awake, no need to worry anymore.
The doctor started taking his blood pressure and checking his abdominal wound. He found that the wound was healing better than expected. It wasn't like this when he changed the dressing yesterday morning. It was simply a miracle!
After an examination, the doctor said that Liu Fengyi's injury had almost healed and he could stay in the hospital for two more days for observation, or he could go home to recuperate.
Liu Fengyi chose to be discharged from the hospital, but he did not go "home". He insisted on staying in the dormitory at his workplace and asked his elder brother and sister-in-law to handle the discharge procedures.
He needed to quickly piece together the original owner's experiences and past. Anything he couldn't remember, he could claim was due to a severe head injury that had caused him significant memory loss. One thing he was very clear about was that the original owner hadn't married or had children; this fact had been the subject of countless expressions of sympathy from his colleagues when they visited him.
But this situation was perfect for him! He could use this identity to remarry his childhood sweetheart, Jia Hui. His wife would still be his wife, and his daughter would still be his daughter!
He wondered if his family could believe such an unbelievable thing had happened to him. He noticed that his eldest daughter had also changed a lot, and he wanted to try and gauge his family's attitude from her first.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Fengyi miraculously woke up, much to the delight of his colleagues at the Public Security Bureau. The news spread quickly, coinciding with the festive atmosphere of people visiting each other to exchange New Year's greetings. Soon, colleagues and friends came to visit him and helped him with his discharge from the hospital.
Liu Fengyi ordered two young policemen under his command to move all his belongings from his elder brother's house to his dormitory. His sister-in-law tried to stop them, but Liu Fengyi's cold gaze instilled fear in her, and she dared not say anything more.
His older brother sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "It's the Lunar New Year, what are you going back to the dorm for? There's no one to take care of you! You'd be better off going home!"
"No need, brother. You've taken good care of me these past few days. Now that I can walk and move around, it's easy for me to eat in the cafeteria, which saves you the trouble of preparing special meals for me." After all, his brother hadn't harmed him. Although he was a bit selfish, it was understandable. He didn't want things to get too awkward.
"Oh! Third brother, you're awake! That's great! Hahaha! We don't have to stay here keeping watch anymore!" Liu Fengnian's family came over at this time, and he was really happy to see that his third brother was awake.
"You're awake, just in time for dumplings! We brought some! They're still warm, haha, I didn't expect you to get to eat this!" Second Sister-in-law took out a lunchbox from the cloth bag.
Liu Fengyi: They really are a couple; even kind words can make them feel so upset!
"Dad, Mom, please stop talking... Uncle, Happy New Year! I wish you a happy new year, good health, and all the best!" My second brother's daughter is seventeen years old, named Liu Xiaoxia, and she is a clever and sensible child.
"Happy New Year, Xiaoxia!" He hesitated for a moment before calling out his niece's name.
"Uncle, Happy New Year!" This is Liu Xiaogang, the son of my second brother. He's fifteen now that the New Year is over. My nephew is as honest and simple as his parents, but his studies are terrible! He's the kind of student who can fill in for someone who's at the bottom of the class and has diarrhea.
"Happy New Year!" Liu Fengyi looked at his little nephew's expectant eyes and knew he was waiting for his lucky money. He smiled and said, "I need to prepare my lucky money for the New Year, so I won't be getting any today!"
"It's alright, it's alright, it'll be the same if I give it to you in a few days! Hehehe!" Liu Ersao said with a smile, showing no sign of embarrassment.
