Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Not Lacking Money
"Today, when we found out you were coming home, everyone gathered, just waiting for you. Mom is the happiest. Although dad doesn’t say much, you can tell he missed you a lot. He got up early, had someone help him bathe and change into clean clothes, and was eagerly waiting." Tang Shuwan led her younger sister inside, talking as they walked, her mood very cheerful.
Tang Qian felt a twinge in her nose, remembering how she had fallen out with her family when she married Sun Weimin. It had been thirteen years since she had come home, and her heart ached with remorse for her parents.
Soon, they arrived at the main living room.
"She’s here, the younger sister is back."
"The little aunt is back."
"After all these years, the girl has finally come back."
Just outside the door, the Tang family members gathered, and from afar, seeing Tang Qian being led by Tang Shuwan, they began to speak, feeling emotional.
Tang Qian’s nose tingled again, and tears sprang to her eyes.
At the doorway, the eldest brother, second brother, and third sister each reached out, pulling Tang Qian in and asking after her with concern.
Tang Qian was then pulled into the living room by the Tangs.
Sun Weimin, Yang Fei, and Sun Lei were waiting just outside the living room.
Soon, the sound of Tang Qian crying came through: "Dad... Mom, your daughter... your daughter has been unfilial; she’s come back to see you!"
"Good child, get up... get up quickly, let mom take a good look at you."
The old woman’s voice came through.
The old man seemed to just grunt and didn’t say anything.
Several minutes later, Tang Qian seemed to remember that her family had also come and said, "Dad, Mom, my husband and child came too, I’ll have them come in and kowtow to you."
"It’s enough that you’re back. Why did you bring the Suns? Send them away, the Tang family doesn’t welcome the Suns."
The old man’s angry voice followed.
Yang Fei was taken aback.
He couldn’t help but look at Sun Weimin.
Sun Weimin clenched his fists, a flash of anger crossing his face, but he quickly suppressed it.
Although Sun Lei was just over nine years old, he was very smart and could understand the situation. Knowing his dad was being wronged, he firmly took his dad’s hand and said, "Dad, let’s go."
Seeing his son like this, Sun Weimin was amused instead, reassuringly patting his head and smiling, "Silly boy, I’m fine, and you shouldn’t hold a grudge against your grandfather. We are men, we need to be more magnanimous, and we must not trouble your mom. Understand?"
Sun Lei thought about it, then shook his head, saying, "I don’t understand. My master says a true man should know clear grudges and favors. I’ll be good to those who are good to me, and I won’t care about the rest."
Sun Weimin looked helplessly at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei, innocent, coughed and said, "Brother Sun, if I taught him poorly, just tell me."
Sun Weimin’s lips twitched, and he shook his head with a bitter smile, "What you said isn’t wrong. Sometimes, this so-called bigger picture is crap. Thinking big benefits others, but the one who suffers is yourself. Everyone has their own view of life, as long as you don’t compromise your principles, no one can say you’re wrong. But as men, we should still try to be more broad-minded."
The three were chatting outside, while inside the living room, Tang Qian had started quarreling with her father, Tang Zhenbang.
The Tangs were divided into two factions, most trying to mediate, but some sided with Tang Zhenbang, blaming and scolding Tang Qian.
Two people stood beside Tang Qian—her mother and her elder sister, Tang Shuwan.
Although Tang Zhenbang was old, he was still very temperamental. With his existing illness, after being berated by Tang Qian, he passed out in anger.
Immediately, the hall became chaotic.
"Quick, call the doctor."
"Yes, take him to the hospital."
"Little aunt, you knew grandpa was in bad health, yet you still confronted him, provoking him; you’re really ’filial’, aren’t you?" Tang Yao sneered sarcastically.
Tang Qian, frightened and pale-faced, heard Tang Yao’s mocking words, clenched her teeth in anger but felt mostly guilty.
But she quickly calmed down, "Everyone, stop arguing, let dad rest for a bit, and I’ve brought a renowned doctor; he’ll make sure dad will be fine."
Saying this, she hurriedly ran out of the living room.
Outside the living room, Sun Weimin, Yang Fei, and Sun Lei were all looking inside from the doorway.
Sun Weimin was a bit nervous and asked, "How is my father-in-law?"
"He fainted from anger and added to the old ailment he suffered from, we need Yang Fei’s help to take a look," Tang Qian said, her gaze turning to Yang Fei, "Yang Fei, sister is begging you, please help check on my dad’s condition."
Yang Fei looked at Sun Weimin.
Sun Weimin said, "Please help us, Brother Yang."
Yang Fei smiled slightly, nodded, and walked inside.
Inside, when the people saw that Tang Qian had brought in a young man in his twenties, they all showed anger. Tang Zheng, Tang Qian’s elder brother, angrily said, "Little sister, dad is in this condition and you’re still messing around?"
"Exactly, little aunt, this kid is even younger than me. How skilled can his medical skills be?"
"I always heard that little aunt likes messing around. I thought she would have matured a lot after becoming a mother over the years, but it turns out she’s still so childish and frivolous."
For a time, the Tangs were discussing animatedly, expressing their dissatisfaction with Tang Qian and their distrust in Yang Fei’s medical skills as a young man.
Tang Zheng ordered, "Don’t delay, send dad to the hospital."
"Yes, sending to the hospital is the safest option."
Everyone agreed.
Tang Qian became anxious and explained, "I’m really not messing around. Although Yang Fei is young, his medical skills are excellent; even Binhai’s famous doctor Li Xuantong’s skills are not as good as his. Don’t waste any more time, please let him check on dad quickly."
"Little aunt, I think you really have bad intentions, intentionally wanting to anger grandpa to death. Grandpa fainted because of your anger, and now you bring some young kid to treat him, risking the best treatment time. What if something happens to grandpa?"
"Yeah, who will be responsible if something happens?"
"We should still rush him to the hospital."
Tang Qian’s eyes turned red in urgency, and she looked at Tang Shuwan, "Elder sister, Leilei’s illness was cured by Yang Fei. You know his skills."
Tang Shuwan nodded, her expression solemn as she asked Yang Fei, "Can you cure my dad?"
Yang Fei shook his head and said, "I can’t be sure without seeing him, but one thing is certain; my treatment would be better than sending him to the hospital right now."
He could actually see through inspection that Tang Zhenbang’s life was not in immediate danger.
Seeing that he didn’t boast excessively but rather refrained, Tang Shuwan believed somewhat in Yang Fei’s skills and told Tang Zheng and her other siblings, "Although Brother Yang is young, he is indeed a well-known doctor in Binhai. Sending dad to the hospital now would delay us, let’s let him take a look first."
Tang Shuwan had some influence at home and now that she said so, the others no longer objected.
Tang Shuwan said to Yang Fei, "Dr. Yang, please help us."
Tang Qian also anxiously added from the side, "Yang Fei, you must wake my dad up."
She had just made her father faint from anger and was feeling very guilty and remorseful.
If her father really suffered badly because of her, her conscience would never be at peace for her lifetime.
Yang Fei went over to examine Tang Zhenbang for a while. Without using silver needles, he directly transferred the inner energy into his body and shortly after, Tang Zhenbang woke up.
Everyone was secretly surprised to see that Yang Fei had only pressed on a few acupoints and managed to wake up the old man.
The old man’s fainting was different from that of ordinary people. He had chronic health issues, and his heart had always been weak, suffering from a terrible pain every year during a certain time.
This pain felt as though something was moving inside him, constantly tearing at his muscles and meridians. Despite years of searching for a cure with renowned doctors from home and abroad, no one had been able to alleviate his pain, forcing him to endure decades of suffering helplessly.
In recent days, Tang Zhenbang’s chronic condition had flared up, sometimes sleeping so deeply that it was hard to wake him, and it was even harder after he fainted.
Thus, the Tangs were somewhat surprised by the simple actions Yang Fei took to wake him up.
"Oh, my pain seems to have lessened considerably," Tang Zhenbang said in surprise after moving his shin and feeling much lighter.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Tangs brightened even more.
Tang Shuwan directly asked Yang Fei, "Dr. Yang, my dad has been tormented by his old ailment for many years, can you cure it?"
Tang Zheng also began to regard Yang Fei seriously, looking at him and saying, "That’s right, if you can cure our father’s old ailment, just name your price; the Tangs aren’t short on money."
