Just then, the doctor came out of the ward.
The people from the second and third houses rushed forward at once, all talking at the same time1七嘴八舌 (qī zuǐ bā shé): lit. seven mouths, eight tongues; a discussion with everybody talking at once; lively discussion with everybody talking at once; seven mouths and eight tongues―lively discussion with everyone trying to get a word in; talking in confusion; all talking at the same time., it was so noisy that the doctor didn’t even know how to answer.
In the end, Shan Qiyuan stepped forward to help the doctor, he still has prestige here, he currently holds an important position in the Shan family company, Shan Qibai and Shan Qiyun both still had to work under him, he is older than the other brothers, he had more power to speak than the other mesdames, he spoke in powerful and resonating2擲地有聲 (zhì dì yǒu shēng): lit. if thrown on the floor, it will make a sound (idiom); fig. (of one’s words) powerful and resonating; to have substance; make a loud sound when thrown to the ground―(of a speech) powerful and rousing. voice: “What’s all the noise, still not letting the doctor speak!”
The second and third houses don’t dare to make any noise anymore, they are holding back their questions and don’t dare to say more.
Shan Qiyuan gave the right to speak to the doctor: “Doctor, you speak.”
The doctor said that the patient had injuries from the fall, but nothing else was serious, so as long as he was well nourished, he would be fine, however, he had to be hospitalized first and then observed for a week, after telling them to be quiet, they are allowed to go in for a visit.
The second and third houses immediately rushed in, while Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan were the last to go in.
With so many people, the spacious and bright ward became obviously crowded.
Shan Tianfeng was lying on the hospital bed, with his right leg in a plaster cast and gauze wrapped around his forehead, he seemed to be several years older than the last time Shen Yuhan saw him, with a few strands of white hair showing in the middle of his black hair.
Recently, the Shan family has been in a state of turmoil3雞犬不寧 (jī quǎn bù níng): lit. not even the chickens and dogs are left undisturbed (idiom); fig. great commotion; (even) the chickens and dogs are unsettled; (raising such a fearful din that) everyone is nervous; great disturbance or turmoil; pandemonium; even fowls and dogs are not left in peace―cause such utter confusion as to make everybody nervous., and has become a frequent subject of hot searches, Shan Tianfeng has also been affected a little, there were a lot of bad things in each houses, they were not brought to light before, but now, the tip of the iceberg had been exposed, which was enough to damage their reputation.
He didn’t have a good face when he saw the three houses, he said a little perfunctorily that there was no need to worry, that he was fine or something like that, when he saw Shen Yuhan coming in, he waved to him, and the smile on his face widened a little.
“Yuhan is here too?”
Shen Yuhan did not expect that he would not talk to his son and his wives, but instead brought him out.
But he was not afraid, this kind of thing happened all the time in the past, sometimes his grandmother was sick, and all the filial sons and grandsons came, but she liked to call him to the front alone, of course, others didn’t dare to say anything.
At this time, everyone looked at Shen Yuhan differently.
Now Shen Yuhan is integrated with the main house, he carry himself with ease and natural poise, and stepped forward without any cowardice, even the Third Madam see him in a new light4刮目相看 (guā mù xiāng kàn): to be astonished by someone’s progress; to treat someone with renewed respect; to have a whole new level of respect for sb or sth; to sit up and take notice (of sb’s improved performance etc); see sb in a new light; have a complete new appraisal of sb; hold sb in higher esteem; treat sb with increased respect., the Shen Yuhan she saw at the banquet at the beginning didn’t have this kind of temperament, there is still a bit of a difference between now and then, is it a wrong impression? Why did she feel the aura from Shen Yuhan.
“Yes, Dad, would you like to drink water first?” Shen Yuhan stepped forward to ask Shan Tianfeng, his way of entering the scene was indeed different from the others5與眾不同 (yǔ zhòng bù tóng): to stand out from the masses (idiom); different; distinct; distinctive; standing out from the crowd..
While it’s unknown whether others were sincere or just pretending, asking Shan Tianfeng whether the wound hurt or how he felt, he was the only one who noticed Shan Tianfeng’s dry lips.
The wound was anesthetized, do you think it hurts or not?
When Shan Qihuan was at home, he would hand him water when Shen Yuhan he said he was thirsty, under the conditioned reflex, he directly poured a glass of warm water for Shan Tianfeng.
He take the water from Shan Qihuan, Shan Tianfeng was indeed thirsty.
“Thank you, it’s much more comfortable.” Shan Tianfeng said contentedly, and then asked Yuhan, “I met your Uncle Jiang a few days ago, and he said that you played Go with him a few days ago, he asked me to take you to his house to play next time.”
Shen Yuhan doesn’t know many people, Uncle Jiang is one of them, he told the story of their meeting that day without any exaggeration: “You don’t know, this is all a coincidence, I just saw Uncle Jiang there alone, thinking that there was no one to play Go with him, so I filled in, later, I found out that Brother Qihuan and Brother Ruolin were classmates in high school.”
“Hahaha, that guy also had a lonely day.” Shan Tianfeng was amused by Shen Yuhan, and he laughed without concealing it, and the atmosphere in the room was quite relaxed for a while.
With Shen Yuhan taking the lead, only then did Shan Tianfeng notice his son, Shan Qihuan, standing behind him like a guardian god, and only then did he remember that Shan Qihuan wanted to buy some land, he asked him in passing: “What about your land? I remember that old man Jiang’s relatives also wanted to buy it.”
Speaking of this, Shan Qihuan also didn’t mock Shan Tianfeng in his heart about how he was being treated as the ATM of the three houses, he couldn’t bear to destroy the good atmosphere created by his wife.
He patiently replied: “We are discussing it now, their side is not competing with us anymore, so if nothing unexpected happens next, we can win it smoothly.”
Shan Tianfeng nodded and said: “That’s fine, if there is anything, you can find me, I will greet old man Jiang’s side, it’s just a piece of land.”
Shan Qihuan said in his heart, what had he been doing before, he put his hand on Shen Yuhan’s shoulder and said: “It should be fine, Yuhan also indirectly helped me.”
Shan Tianfeng said: “It seems that our Yuhan is still a little lucky star.”
Shen Yuhan smiled and brushed it off: “No, it’s Hus-, it’s Brother Qihuan who has the ability.” He almost called him husband in front of the elders, he was too used to this title.
When the other three houses heard the word Uncle Jiang, they thought to themselves, could it be the Jiang family? When did Shen Yuhan get involved with the Jiang family.
Shan Tianfeng had a tired look on his face, only Shan Qiyuan was allowed to stay, and others were told to go back first.
No one dared to come in front of him and complain about Shan Qihuan, this Shen Yuhan was really capable, deflecting the atmosphere with just one or two words, they couldn’t speak even if they wanted to, so they had to leave first.
The elevator in the hospital is also big enough, and everyone takes the same elevator.
Shan Qihuan was in the limelight today because of Shen Yuhan, and the Second Madam began to lose control of her mouth again, now she was full of fighting spirit, as if the person who cried hoarsely just now was not her.
However, the person she attacked was not Shan Qihuan, but Shen Yuhan, she still remembered the grudge from last time in her heart, Shen Yuhan performed outstandingly today, so the anger in her heart increased a lot.
“I say, Yuhan, you are really good, the Old Master has always been difficult to talk to, once he opens his mouth, he will definitely help to the end, Qihuan didn’t marry you in vain.” The Second Madam deliberately mocked Shan Qihuan for ‘marrying’ Shen Yuhan, two grown men got married, and one was married off, it was actually an insult to him, or so she thought.
However, Shen Yuhan is not a modern person at all, he knew that the Second Madam was mocking himself, knew the meaning of her words, but it did not irritate him at all, instead, he gently raised his eyelids and said, neither light nor heavy: “Isn’t it, there is a saying that one should marry a virtuous wife, it’s good that you can understand.”
The Second Madam, who was stuck speechless once again, was so angry that her fingers trembled: “…You, you’re fine!”
Is this a mockery of her not being formally married6明媒正娶 (míng méi zhèng qǔ): formal matchmade marriage; to be officially wed; formal/legal marriage. to Shan Tianfeng and enter the door? She is not even worthy of being a wife!
However, it is an indisputable fact7毋庸置疑 (wú yōng zhì yí): no need to question; without any doubt; undoubtedly; beyond all doubt; be undisputed; without doubt/question. that Shan Tianfeng really only marry Shan Qihuan’s mother!
The Third Madam was even more stunned, the Second Madam’s fighting power had always been terrifying, and she didn’t even bother to argue with her, this Shen Yuhan is simply one move is fatal, one sentence is as effective as scolding the Second Madam a hundred times, straightforward is straightforward, it just hit the sore spots of the three of them, whether they are virtuous or not, whether they are wives or concubines, they themselves know it very well8心知肚明 (xīn zhī dù míng): lit. knowing in the heart but not saying it clearly; to be well aware; describing knowing well..
At this time, smart people dare not provoke Shen Yuhan, this mouth is really poisonous.
Shan Qihuan smiled secretly and embraced him to his side, his wife is really capable of defeating ten with one force, it’s really not a boast.
After getting out of the elevator, the Second Madam gave a cold snort, glared angrily at Shen Yuhan, and was the first to leave, fleeing as if running away.
Her son, Shan Qibai, muttered: “Mom, what are you angry about, wait for me!” He was completely unaware that his mom was so angry with Shen Yuhan that she had internal injuries.
Facing Shen Yuhan, the Second Madam was just like hitting the cotton——she couldn’t put her energy into it.
The Third Madam also glanced at Shen Yuhan, and then dragged Shan Qiyun away, she can’t let her son lose face here!
The others also followed their own mothers, and disappeared at the entrance of the hospital.
And then, only the Fourth Madam and Shan Qihuan Shen Yuhan were left, she asked Shan Qihuan with a smile that is not a smile: “Shan Qihuan, Lao Er9老二 (老二): second-eldest child in a family; second eldest among one’s siblings; deputy; assistant; (slang, vulgar) cock; penis. mess with you, why did you drag me into the water?”
Shan Qihuan glanced at her, and gave her a sentence: “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself, don’t provoke me, the consequences will be unbearable for you, you know who did it, and you know it very well.”
There was a crack on the face that the Fourth Madam had been holding.
Shan Qihuan was too lazy to watch her performance, so he led Shen Yuhan away from the hospital, this troublesome place10是非之地 (shì fēi zhī dì): lit. the place of right and wrong; place where one is apt to get into trouble; trouble spot; sketchy area; a place where there is trouble or controversy..
When they returned to the car, Shan Qihuan could no longer hold back his laughter as he looked at Shen Yuhan.
Shen Yuhan was puzzled by his inexplicable laughter, he touched his face and asked in confusion: “Husband, what are you laughing at?”
Shan Qihuan said: “Laugh at you so funny.”
Shen Yuhan pretended to be angry and said: “What’s so funny about me, if you laugh again, I’ll ignore you.”
Then his husband came forward and kissed him on the corner of his mouth: “Marry a virtuous wife? So you are my virtuous wife.”
“Am I not your virtuous wife?” Shen Yuhan covered his mouth, “No kissing, you are laughing at me.”
Shan Qihuan kissed him in the palm of his hand and looked at him with unknown meaning in his eyes.
Young and beautiful wife is more accurate.
