Second Brother Liu also wants to cry, truly. Thought Big Brother was just momentarily weary and heartbroken because of some events, just like a big man! Even if he lost his head, it would just be a small scar, so what’s there to be stuck on? Feeling that he wronged Little Sister by not marrying a virtuous wife, he could just marry a better one next time! Just like with him and his wife, they always think about Little Sister with every little good deed, and his wife cares even more than he does. People’s hearts are made of flesh; shouldn’t everything be about give and take? Their Little Sister isn’t someone who doesn’t understand this! Just look now, aren’t Shuzhen and their Hong Ying close like one person? People who are rough and careless don’t have many twists and turns in their hearts, as long as the general direction is right, they seldom get tangled up in small details. If they make a mistake this time, they’ll be careful next time, if they fall, they quickly get up, brush off the dust, and just pay more attention to their feet from then on. Where’s all this sadness, regret, and embarrassment coming from? It’s not like they’re women, having been born with a bit more sensitivity and affectation. Who would have thought that the elder brother, who always considers everything for the three siblings and handles everything methodically, could become so affected? Drunk and crying painfully, Big Brother crying like a dog is quite embarrassing. And still, in the middle of the night, he got himself such a high fever that his head could cook pancakes, Second Brother Liu just wants to say, Big Brother, you’re something! It’s fortunate that their Hong Ying is attentive, afraid Big Brother’s drunken depression could turn worse, insisted on having him look after him in the room. Otherwise, burning up unknowingly all night, how could this person survive? Casually threw on a piece of clothing, hurriedly stoked up the fire in the dark to find medicine for his dear brother. He remembered that last year when Little Sister went to town for antenatal check-ups, she bought a lot of aspirin and penicillin, etc. To guard against the children at home catching cold, she specially gave them some. As a result, after a futile bout of knocking, he finally woke up the sleeping woman who might not have known if she were carried away. Only to find out that at the start of the year his second cousin’s child had a high fever, and his own son caught a cold, the brothers had used up all the medicine in the ’bad news’. Liu Shouyi, helpless, had to light a torch in the middle of the night and rush to Little Sister’s place. Directly climbed over the wooden fence door, as usual, knocking and shouting for double assurance. Ended up not waking any of the adults, but Little Lian’en cried out "wah". Then Liu Shouyi heard his Little Sister soothing impatiently, while Brother-in-law Lianshan in thermal underwear, slippers on, came out sulky-faced. His expression cold and stern, as if saying you better have a good reason, or even if you’re my brother-in-law, I’ll make you pay, made Liu Shouyi shiver. Pth! It must be the cold air in the middle of the night, he, a big man over seven feet, wouldn’t be scared by his brother-in-law’s disdainful face! "Well, Big Brother has a high fever, I came to get some antipyretics!" After concisely stating his purpose, Liu Shouren just heard his unlucky brother-in-law hum an "mm" from his throat. Then just watched him turn around and enter the house, he wasn’t even let inside! Through the window, Liu Shouyi heard his Little Sister ask what’s wrong, in the middle of the night. That unlucky guy treated different people differently, saying in a voice soft as water, "It’s nothing, wife, go back to sleep, I’m fetching something for Second Brother." Had it not been for the cold wind and dark night, unwilling to let Little Sister come back and forth, Liu Shouyi would have exposed his lie. A brother-in-law coming in the middle of the night and not being let inside the door, is there such behavior? Lianshan: Manners, what’s that? All I know is my wife’s on the bed in her thermals, asleep, it’s inconvenient! Lit the oil lamp, quickly and neatly found the medicine, then Lianshan was eager to send him away swiftly. A brother-in-law just having a fever, after taking medicine and sweating through the night, he’ll be bouncing around again by morning. No need to make his wife worry in the middle of the night, better wait till morning to check on him. Liu Shouyi shared the same opinion on this. But upon hearing only a few words, Shuzhen couldn’t be at ease knowing Big Brother’s fever wouldn’t subside. Although Wu Xia’s previous scheming and subsequent murder attempts failed, Big Brother’s remorse and guilt undoubtedly remain strong. If this illness isn’t talked out of, and should it ever elevate into something entangled in the heart, where would she go to cry then? Hurriedly dressed, ignoring her husband and Second Brother’s dissuasions, she resolutely handed Little Lian’en to the unhappy Lianshan, and hurried with Second Brother to check on Big Brother. Upon arriving, they found Big Brother already muddled by intoxication and high fever, hugging his head and groaning about his regret and guilt. The repeated phrases of ’it’s Big Brother’s fault, Big Brother was blind to marry this wastrel woman, causing my sister to suffer’ made Shuzhen’s heart ache, tears pattering down. Quickly and busily took medicine and covered him with a quilt with Second Brother’s help. After finishing up, Liu Shouyi was thinking about sending Little Sister back, after all, with small children at home, they couldn’t be left without someone. But Shuzhen, seeing how Big Brother was now making himself ill with self-reproach, couldn’t care less about children or anything! Just two words, not leaving. Not until she sees Big Brother’s fever reduced, his heart knot opened, would anyone think she could leave a step! With no way to ever win an argument with her, Liu Shouyi gave up and rushed back to inform his brother-in-law Lianshan. Meanwhile, the sibling pair spent half the night caring for their drunk and feverish Big Brother unmentioned. When Liu Shouren, confused by alcohol and fever, finally woke up, he saw his younger siblings both by his side, looking at him full of worry. Softly discussing that if he didn’t get better soon, they’d have Lian Hai hitch a ride to the hospital. Wanting to ask what happened, how come they were both there first thing in the morning. But as soon as he opened his mouth two dry coughs came out, causing both the talking brother and sister to lift their heads, their concerned gazes focused fully on him. Recalling all the things his unfortunate ex-wife had done, Liu Shouren felt a jumble of emotions, his eyes naturally carried some guilt, apology, and remorse when looking at Shuzhen. It took quite a while before he managed to smile a forced smile that looked worse than crying, "I’m sorry Little Sister, it’s all Big Brother’s fault. If it weren’t for..." "What’s Big Brother doing? If anyone should be sorry, it’s Wu Xia for wronging me, it’s the Wu family for raising a girl with no education who could become such an unwise and malicious thing to harm people. What does that have to do with you? From a young age, it’s been you and Second Brother letting me have my way, even though I’m already married twice and have kids, you both still think of me like a treasure. There’s no better brothers than you two to be found in the whole world. The greatest happiness in my life is having you two as my brothers and marrying a man like our Lianshan. Big Brother, don’t say sorry to me because of the sins others committed, if I were to accept that, how lacking in discernment would I be? Quick, quick, Big Brother, don’t put me in such an unfair position, huh!" Shuzhen scolded with a frown, full of affectionate rebuke.
