Chapter 667: Divorced
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was early, and it was not a big holiday, so there were not many cars on the highway.
The three cars were connected in front and behind, and they were all driving very fast.
In less than four hours, they arrived at the hospital in City W.
As soon as she entered the ward and saw the person on the bed, Li Xu fainted.
Li Miao wailed and pounced over.
It turned out that Li Zhiming, who was lying on the hospital bed, had already changed into a shroud.
After death, one would wear a shroud.
Li Yong and Li Lei were both in the ward. Li Lei still had a wound on his face. The two brothers were stunned.
Seeing Li Xu and Li Miao return, the brothers seemed to have returned to their senses.
Li Xu also woke up very quickly. The four siblings surrounded Li Zhiming and cried.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes were red as she looked around.
Why were her cousins, grandmother, and two aunts nowhere to be seen?
At this moment, Qin Xiaomin came over from the other side of the corridor with a pile of bills.
Seeing the people at the door of the ward, she burst into tears.
She took a few steps forward and hugged Li Xu as she cried, “Big Sister, you’re finally back.”
“Where’s Mother?” Zhang Kun asked.”
“Mother fainted and hasn’t woken up in the ward.” Qin Xiaomin said. “The children accompanied her in the ward. The hospital has been urging me to get a death certificate and contact the funeral parlor. I…”
“Give me everything,” Zhang Kun quickly said, “Xiao Gong and I will handle it.”
There was no point in saying too much now. They had to finish the old man’s funeral as soon as possible.
Qin Xiaomin handed the receipt to Zhang Kun and said in a low voice, “I’ve already contacted them. According to our rules, we have to let our father go home. He can only be cremated after three days. The weather is hot now, so we have to use ice. I haven’t found it yet…”
As Qin Xiaomin spoke, she couldn’t continue.
All these years, she had really treated her parents-in-law as her biological parents.
“Our father is fine. Why…” Li Miao did not understand and asked with a sob.
Qin Xiaomin subconsciously glanced at Li Lei and said, “The hospital has already urged us several times. Let’s go home first and talk about it when we get home.”
People were already dead, and the hospital generally did not allow them to stay any longer.
He would be put in the morgue even if they had to wait.
They didn’t want the people in the hospital to go through all the trouble and drag Li Zhiming’s body along.
Zhang Kun nodded and said, “I’ll find the ice.”
An hour later, everyone returned home.
The neighbors also came to help. Soon, everyone was in mourning.
At this moment, Li Lei, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
“Father died because of me.”
Li Xu looked at Li Lei in disbelief.
Li Miao finally reacted, “Where’s Sister-in-law? Why isn’t Sister-in-law here?
Father is gone. Why doesn’t she come to send him off?”
Li Lei whispered, “The two of us… is divorced!”
Everyone was stunned.
Ever since Li Xu and the others moved to B City, her family’s matters were beyond her reach.
She didn’t even know when Xiao Lei and Xiaoning had gotten to this point.
“What is going on?” Li Xu asked in a deep voice.
“Her clothing store keeps losing money. I advised her to close the store, but she didn’t listen. Although my shop can make money, it can’t withstand her loss. The child is already grown up, and money is needed everywhere. I’m terrified…” Li Lei lowered his head in pain and said in a low voice.
“We got a divorce certificate and didn’t tell our family. Li Xiang belongs to me, and Li Jie belongs to her. Our father found out about our divorce last night and scolded me. I didn’t think much of it at that time. When our mother woke up this morning, she found that father was unconscious.”
“It’s a cerebral hemorrhage. The doctor tried to save him for more than three hours, but he still couldn’t be saved.”
When Li Xu heard the brothers’ words, for a moment, he actually did not know who to blame.
Was Li Lei in the wrong? He had endured for so many years and finally mustered up the courage to break free from this quagmire. However, who knew Father would be so angry he would have a cerebral hemorrhage?
Was Meng Xiaoning wrong? She had only gotten a divorce certificate and taken away her beloved youngest son.
Li Xu felt her chest tighten. She raised her hand and patted her chest hard.
Seeing this, Zhang Kun and Qin Xiaomin went to hold her hand at the same time.
“Big Sister, don’t be like this. We’re all sad that our father left.” Qin Xiaomin cried, saying, “If Father is watching from the heavens, he definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
“I didn’t even get to see our father for the last time. How am I supposed to live in the future?” Li Xu cried.
Qin Xiaomin hugged her arm, “Father won’t blame you. He definitely won’t blame you.”
In the courtyard, Ji Yuanyuan looked at the adults’ depressed expressions and reluctantly turned her face away.
Qin Mucheng patted her shoulder and said softly, “Grandpa didn’t die in pain.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and muttered, “It’s just that it’s too sudden…”
It was too sudden. They had even video-called each other a few days ago.
Grandpa was smiling so brightly in the video. How could he just disappear like that?
Qin Mucheng did not know how to comfort Ji Yuanyuan. He reached out and hugged her.
Ji Yuanyuan buried her head in Qin Mucheng’s shoulder and sobbed silently.
There were many people in the village, and many people came and went to offer their condolences.
Li Xu and the other siblings were extremely sad. Zhang Kun and Gong Wenbai could only be responsible for welcoming them.
When Qin Xiaomin came out, Zhang Kun took the opportunity to smell it, “Where’s Meng Xiaoning? Does she know that Father is gone?”
Qin Xiaomin nodded with a complicated expression, “I called her.”
“Then what did she say?” Zhang Kun asked again.
“Nothing.” Qin Xiaomin shook her head.
Obviously, she was extremely disappointed in Meng Xiaoning.
No matter what, she had been in this family for so many years.
Her father-in-law is gone. Why doesn’t she take a look?
Moreover, her father-in-law’s death was related to her.
Ji Yuanyuan heard the conversation between Zhang Kun and Qin Xiaomin from nearby.
She pursed her lips and whispered, “Why is my uncle so unlucky?”
She had only been in love twice in her life. One was Liang Yufang, and the other was Meng Xiaoning.
Eldest Uncle is so good, why can’t he meet a good woman?
On the contrary, the Second Uncle was much luckier than the Eldest Uncle.
Second Uncle was unreliable, but he still found a good wife like the Second Aunt.
Qin Mucheng did not know how to comment on it and just shut his mouth.
At this time, Ji Yuanyuan could not help at all and could only wait at the side.
When it was almost noon, Li Xiang and Li Nian came back with Liu Guihua.
Liu Guihua looked like she had aged a few years. She staggered over and cried.
Li Xiang and Li Nian, two 13-year-old children, looked like adults at this moment.
Their eyes were red as they looked at the coffin in the middle of the living
room..
