A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1357 Thank you, gods and Buddhas, for protecting me from your whole family! (Please subscribe!)
When Fan Shengmei heard her father say "Xiao Wang," she knew something was wrong. Sure enough, Hua Shier stood up with a smile and said he wanted to practice with her father.

This is no practice at all. Fan Shengmei remembers that Hua Shier had the same smile before he hit Wei Wei with an ashtray at the resort last time. It's exactly the same.

Her smile looks quite sunny, but for some reason, it makes people feel uneasy.

She quickly stepped forward to block her father, and Chao Hua Twelve said with a forced smile:
"Bai Chuan, that's not what my dad meant, please don't take it to heart!"

Fan Shengmei's father still doesn't know what mistake he made; instead, he thinks Hua Shier's attitude is bad.

"Hey, what kind of attitude is that?!"

Fan Shengmei's mother also said:
"Baichuan, how can a junior talk to an elder like that? Your auntie is going to scold you!"

Andy, Qiu Yingying, and Guan Juer looked at each other, all thinking that Fan Shengmei's parents were two oddballs.

Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei was so embarrassed she could practically dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

It's true that she's vain, but that doesn't mean she can't distinguish right from wrong. Her parents' bizarre behavior made her feel like she had lost face in front of Wang Baichuan and her sisters.

She shouted to her parents:

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing? You came here to ask Bai Chuan for help, not to act as his elders. If you keep this up, then take Lei Lei back to Nantong. I'm not going to take care of you anymore!"

Fan's father pointed at Fan Shengmei:
"What did you say? You're my daughter! Aren't you going to abandon your own parents? Aren't you going to abandon your nephew?"

Fan's mother complained:

"Xiaomei, how can you talk like that? Look how angry you've made your dad! Quickly apologize to him!"

Fan Shengmei roared:
"Why should I apologize? I'm your daughter, it's normal for me to care about you, but what is your relationship with Wang Baichuan? Why should you act like elders here!"

“His game consoles, even the cheapest one costs seventy or eighty thousand, and that racing game console costs over two hundred thousand. Lei Lei just made such a big commotion, pulling the steering wheel so hard. If he broke it, can you pay for it? Do you have the money to pay for it?”

Hua Shier looked at Fan Shengmei in surprise. He hadn't expected this girl to know the prices of the game consoles he had, and he certainly hadn't expected her to say something like that.

The price Fan Shengmei quoted startled the elderly couple. They had fled to Shanghai because of debt collectors, and if their grandson broke such an expensive game console, they would probably have to pay for it.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Mr. Fan spoke to his grandson, who was still crying and demanding to play video games:

"Lei Lei, don't cry. We're not playing. It's a broken game console, nothing fun about it. Be a good boy!"

The little brat not only didn't listen, but instead became even more unruly, crying and jumping high in the air:

"I don't want to! I want to play! I want to play!"

Instead of disciplining her grandson, Fan's mother addressed Fan Shengmei and Hua Shier, saying:
"Xiaomei, Baichuan, don't be angry. We just didn't know. Don't worry, we'll stay here and watch over these machines for you. We'll make sure Leilei doesn't touch them!"

None of the girls on the 22nd floor believed him when he said that.

The child is making such a fuss, and you can't even bring yourself to say a word? How can you guarantee that it's genuine?

Fan Shengmei quickly picked up where her mother left off:

"Bai Chuan, this is what happened. My brother got into trouble again back home. He injured someone, and the other party's family is making a huge fuss and has already demanded a lot of money. My brother is irresponsible. He took my sister-in-law and ran away, leaving my parents and nephew to be harassed by those people every day. They had no choice but to come to Shanghai and stay with me for a couple of days!"

"You know my situation. I have Xiao Qiu and Guan Guan living with me, which is quite inconvenient. I was thinking that since you have a lot of space and rooms, could my parents and nephew stay here for a few days?"

Hua Shier refused immediately after hearing what she said:
"It's not convenient for me here, you'll have to think of another way, that's all!"

Seeing his resolute attitude and disappointed expression, Fan Shengmei wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to say it.

To be honest, she didn't want to ask Wang Baichuan for help because she felt that it would make her feel inferior in front of him and make her lose face. She had no choice but to ask him for help, but she didn't expect him to refuse her. She felt ashamed.

Seeing that Hua Shier still refused, Fan's parents became somewhat anxious.

Mother Fan said with a bitter face:
"Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you? You've become like this! You have no mercy at all!"

"You were so kind to my family when you came to visit, even helping with chores. Now we're in trouble and have no choice but to come to Xiaomei for help. There are three girls living in Xiaomei's room, there's no room for us. Your place is so spacious, why don't you let your uncle and aunt stay for a few days!"

Hua Shier was amused by her:
"Back then, I was really out of my mind to pursue you, so it's normal for me to do some chores at your parents' house to please them!"

"Back then, I delivered watermelons, replaced gas cylinders for your family, carried rice and stuff up to the sixth floor. I was exhausted, like a dog. Your son was even older than me, and he just stood by watching and smoking. After I finished all that work, I didn't get a single meal, not even a sip of water!"

"So when I saw this situation, I thought, 'Forget it! I can't possibly be associated with your family, so please don't bring up the past!'"

Fan Shengmei turned pale after being scolded and quickly pulled at her parents:
"Mom and Dad, you can stay in my room for now. It's so late, let Lei Lei go to bed early, he still needs to grow. If you don't want to stay at my place, then let's do what I said before and I'll book a room for you at a nearby hotel!"

Fan's mother complained to Fan Shengmei:

"Why book a hotel? Staying in a hotel doesn't cost money. You should give that money to your brother and sister-in-law; they can use it in an emergency!"

She wanted to discuss it with Hua Shier, but the little brat named Lei Lei, seeing that he couldn't play with so many fun things and that no one paid attention to his crying, actually let out a sharp and piercing scream, the kind of heart-wrenching scream a child makes when they're throwing a tantrum.

The girls on the 22nd floor were all so agitated that they frowned, and Fan Shengmei and her parents quickly tried to comfort them.

But these spoiled children, when faced with the people who pamper them, will not easily give up until they get what they want. The more they are coaxed, the more they make a fuss, and the louder they shout. They not only cry but also jump around with all their might.

The child even pulled his pants down halfway with one hand, intending to urinate there.

Fan Shengmei panicked: "Lei Lei, stop fooling around! Auntie will buy you something delicious!"

But it was no use at all; the little brat only wanted to play video games.

Just then, a hand suddenly reached out and slapped Lei Lei hard across the face, instantly turning one side of his face pale.

"You little bastard, if you dare to piss out, I'll make you lick it clean yourself, you believe me!"

The one who did the beating was naturally Hua Twelve.

The little brat was stunned by the beating, staring blankly at Hua Twelve, wondering what kind of creature he was, because no human being this tall had ever hit him in his memory.

Hua Shier: You just didn't meet me sooner. If you had, you probably would have been crippled.

Upon seeing that their grandson had been beaten, Mr. and Mrs. Fan quickly picked him up and examined him.
"Grandson, are you alright? Let Grandpa and Grandma see how you are!"

Fan Shengmei couldn't take it anymore; her eyes welled up with tears, which immediately streamed down her face.
"Wang Baichuan, that's enough! It's fine if you don't help, but why are you hitting the child?"

Do you know how much psychological harm a large bib can cause to such a young child?

Hua Shier rolled his eyes:

"Do you know how much psychological damage it will cause me to let him urinate here?"

"To avoid getting hurt, I don't care about anything else. Anyway, he's not my bastard!"

Qiu Yingying couldn't help but laugh out loud, leaning on Guan Guan's shoulder.

The child was making such a racket that they couldn't stand it anymore, so Hua Shier slapped him across the face. It was so satisfying and cathartic.

The phrase "droopy grandson" at the end made her laugh even more.

Once Fan's father confirmed that his grandson was alright, only a little swollen and red on the face, he turned around, his eyes red, ready to fight Hua Twelve to the death.

Fan Shengmei quickly pulled him away, fearing her elderly father would also be beaten. Who knew if that beast across the street would hit the old man?

Yi Zhonghai: That bastard is ruthless!
At this moment, Lei Lei, the little boy being held by his grandmother, finally came to his senses from the shock of the big beanbag. Feeling the pain on his face and seeing his grandfather standing up for him, he was no longer afraid and started crying loudly again.

Snapped!
A miraculous scene unfolded: Hua Shier, who had been separated from Fan's father and Fan Shengmei, took a step and bypassed the father and daughter, then delivered a solid slap to the boy's face.

The kid was immediately stunned again, trembling and sobbing as he looked at Hua Shier, no longer daring to cry, because this person really dared to beat him up.

The whole world is quiet!
Hua Shier also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it's symmetrical. My awesome OCD!

"you"

Fan Shengmei was furious. "I was trying to stop my dad, why did you still hit him?"
Although she was vain, she valued family ties. Although she had a lot of opinions about her brother, she was very fond of her eldest nephew.

Fan Shengmei's face turned pale with anger: "Wang Baichuan, how could you lay a hand on a child!"

Mr. Fan shouted, "Let me go! I'll fight him to the death!"

Fan's mother's eyes lit up. She remembered how her son had been extorted for money after assaulting someone, and immediately shouted:
"Old man, don't do it! Let's call the police and have Comrade Hat arrest him, put him in jail, and make him pay compensation!"

Hua Shier took out his identification from his pocket:

"See? Even if I slap your grandson twice, or even slap you twice, I won't go to jail!"

Fan Shengmei was still hesitating whether to call the police, but then she remembered that the other party had a certificate, so she immediately gave up the idea of ​​calling the police and quickly whispered the matter to her angry parents.

Fan's parents were also dumbfounded:

"What? How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly become mentally ill?!"

Hua Shier then added an explanation:

"Hey, isn't this just for the convenience of beating people up? Like beating up your grandson today, and then you don't have to bear any legal responsibility. Isn't it great to have a certificate?"

Qiu Yingying, who has a low threshold for laughter, was already too tired to laugh anymore, but out of consideration for Fan Shengmei's feelings, she could only hide behind Guan Guan, sobbing intermittently.

Andy and Guan Juer couldn't help but smile. Fan Shengmei's parents trembled with anger, and Fan's mother cried out:

"Then you have to pay compensation for hitting someone, my grandson, now what?"

She recalled the excuse given by the family whose son had injured her when they came to demand money:
"What kind of contusion? A perforated eardrum? Incontinence? You owe us 100,000 yuan, or we'll sue you!"

Hua Shier waved his hand:
"Okay, then go ahead and sue. I've been feeling a bit bored lately. If you can actually get it to court, I'll give you a hundred yuan as a kickback. It's a deal!"

This left Mr. and Mrs. Fan completely bewildered, unable to understand why the other party was so happy to be the defendant.

Hua Twelve then provided an explanation:

"I've hired a whole team of lawyers and spent so much money on them, and we haven't won a single case yet. You guys should hurry up and sue me, so that my money won't have been wasted!"

"You want 100,000 yuan in compensation, huh? No problem, I'll pay if the law rules against me. But let's not even talk about whether I'll slap your grandson or not, or whether this incontinence thing is even plausible. Even if it goes to court, I can keep messing with you guys for years!"

Fan Shengmei's parents looked at her with questioning eyes, as if to ask their daughter if this kid was just bragging!
Fan Shengmei nodded with a wry smile:
“Wang Baichuan is a big boss now, controlling a financial company worth tens of billions. Mom and Dad, I think Lei Lei is fine, so let's just let it go. You can stay at my place for the night!”

Although Fan Shengmei's parents didn't understand the difference between "controlling billions" and "having a net worth of billions," they were still stunned by the word "billions." They recognized the look in Fan Shengmei's eyes and knew that this was someone they couldn't afford to offend. Fan Shengmei pulled and dragged them out of room 2203, taking advantage of the situation.

"Fan Shengmei!"

Hua Shier called out, and Fan Shengmei turned around with tears in her eyes:
"What else do you want to do?"

Clearly, she was also resentful that Hua Shier had no regard for their past relationship.

Hua Shier ignored Fan Shengmei's pitiful and aggrieved expression. Qin Huairu had also shown this expression before, and it was much more damaging than Fan Shengmei's, but he still treated her like a dog, so it didn't affect him at all.

"We're old classmates. Although I can't let your parents stay here, I'd like to remind you of something: your dad's face was flushed, his cheeks were bluish, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his pupils were asymmetrical!"

"Traditional Chinese medicine says that internal liver wind causes qi and blood to become disordered and ascend to the brain. Ask your dad if he has been feeling dizzy lately, or if he feels a throbbing sensation in his head when he gets excited?"

"I suspect he has liver yang hyperactivity and increased intracranial pressure. You should take your father to the hospital for a thorough check-up. This is very dangerous; he could easily suffer a brain hemorrhage!"

Before Fan Shengmei could speak, her mother exploded, her face flushed as she shouted:

"Hey Wang, we can't afford to offend you, can't we just leave? Why are you cursing my old man? I never knew you were this kind of person. No wonder my Xiaomei didn't like you back then."

Hua Shier clasped his hands together in prayer, repeatedly expressing his devotion:
"Amitabha Buddha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Brother Su above, thank you all the gods and Buddhas for protecting me from this family, Amen!"

Seeing his funny expressions and hilarious remarks, not only Qiu Yingying, but also Guan Juer and Andy couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then quickly stopped, afraid of embarrassing Fan Shengmei.

Fan Shengmei was already embarrassed enough, so she forcefully pulled her parents away, who were still arguing with Hua Shier, without saying another word.

Andy, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying didn't rush to follow. The former turned around and said helplessly to Hua Twelve:
"If you disagree, you disagree. Why hit the child? And what you said just now was too much. How could you talk nonsense and say that Fan Xiaomei's father is sick? Now Fan Xiaomei will hate you to death!"

Xiao Ming is recovering very well and can now slowly express himself. He had been watching a play for a while, and now he came over and said:

“Brother-in-law is right, that kid wanted to pee here, I wanted to hit him too.”

Hua Shier patted Xiaoming on the shoulder and laughed heartily:

"See? How innocent Xiaoming is! Even such an innocent kid wants to beat that brat up. Don't you think he deserves it?"

He went on to say:

"And about Fan Shengmei's father, I'm not cursing him. If you observe carefully, you'll see that he's already shown all the symptoms I mentioned. If I hadn't said anything, he would have had a brain hemorrhage and would have blamed me for the argument, saying I made him angry. Now that I've told him to go to the hospital, he won't go, so his illness has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing that he was serious, Andy also became serious: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Would I lie to you about that!"

Andy couldn't stand it anymore: "I'll go up and persuade Fan Xiaomei to take her parents to see a doctor; their health is the most important thing!"

After saying that, he left with Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer.

Hua Shier was too lazy to deal with these trivial matters and continued playing games with Xiaoming.

2202, Fan's mother was so angry that she lay down on Fan Shengmei's bed, Fan's father went to the toilet, and Fan Shengmei was on the sofa coaxing her eldest nephew.

As soon as Andy and the other two girls came in, they told Fan Shengmei about their conversation with Hua Shier and advised her to take it seriously, since going to the hospital for a check-up wouldn't take much effort.

Fan Shengmei hesitated for a moment:
"Okay, I'll tell my parents!"

As they were talking, the sound of a toilet flushing came from the bathroom. Fan Shengmei's father opened the door and came out with a lit cigarette in his hand, instantly filling the room with the smell of smoke.

Fan Shengmei reminded him, "Dad, this house is shared by Xiao Qu and Xiao Guan. Can you please not smoke inside?"

"Okay, I don't smoke when I'm on the toilet. I'm just having trouble going, so I'll go out now!"

The old man was quite obedient and didn't say much before heading out to smoke, but after he finished speaking, his throat felt sticky:
"He, tui!"

He spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the living room floor.

Seeing the large, yellowish-white spittoon on the ground, bigger than a coin, Andy instantly lost control:
"I'm tired, I'm going back to rest!"

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying exchanged a glance: "Let's go stay with Andy for a while!"

The three women fled from 2202 as if they were escaping.

Seeing that the three women had left, Mr. Fan stopped going out to smoke and sat on the sofa to smoke, even muttering a complaint:
"What a fuss! Why be so picky? I don't believe their parents don't smoke!"

Fan Shengmei was so angry she cried. While wiping the yellow phlegm off the floor with tissues, she said in a tearful voice:
"Dad, can't you be a little more considerate? You don't act like this at home either!"

Fan Shengmei's father blushed and said, "I was just angry with that Wang Baichuan!"

From the cubicle where Fan Shengmei lived, her mother's voice could be heard:

"That Wang Baichuan is no good!"

Hearing the two mention Wang Baichuan, Fan Shengmei thought of Andy's words of advice:
"Dad, what Bai Chuan said seems very plausible. I'm worried about your health. You should come with me to the hospital for a checkup. If you're sick, get treatment; if not, take preventative measures."

She was rejected by Mr. Fan before she could finish speaking:

"Why are you listening to him? I know I have high blood pressure, I just need to take some blood pressure medication, it's in my bag, give me that one, the kind that's called Dihydropyridine!"

Fan Shengmei quickly said:

"Let's get checked out before taking the medicine, just in case the data is inaccurate. I'm not just worried about you, go get checked out, I'll pay for it!"

Fan Shengmei's father glared at her and said, "If I say I'm not going, then I'm not going!"

Fan's mother came out of the cubicle: "Why go to this hospital? Your father's medical insurance isn't covered here. The tests will cost a lot. Give me the money for the tests first."

Fan Shengmei quickly took out her wallet, pulled out two thousand yuan, and only after her mother received it did she say:
"I'll go to the bank tomorrow and transfer the money to your brother's account. You're such a spendthrift!"

Fan Shengmei didn't know what to say: "Mom, I only have three thousand yuan left. I gave two thousand to Dad for his medical checkup. I was prepared to starve for the next two weeks. How could you do this!"

Fan's mother glared at her:
"This girl doesn't know how to manage a household at all. Let's buy a few pounds of eggs. We can eat boiled eggs for a long time!"

After she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Xiaomei, Wang Baichuan really likes you, right? He's so rich now, why don't you agree to date him? Could he help our family?"

Fan Shengmei felt wronged. Even her parents knew that Wang Baichuan was pursuing her, but they said that Wang Baichuan was no good at anything. Now that they saw that he was rich, they wanted her to agree to date him. Wasn't this selling their daughter?

Besides, it's not that she doesn't want to agree; it's that she's refusing to do it!

In room 2201, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were sitting on Andy's sofa, each hugging a cushion and complaining.

Guan Juer said, "This is disgusting!"

Qiu Yingying nodded: "Yeah, I don't want to go back. It's all smoke, and people spit everywhere. That kid was also very unruly before. What are we going to do!"

Andy sipped his coffee and said with a smile:
"Go find Wang Baichuan. He didn't agree to Fan Xiaomei's parents' request, but he'll definitely agree to let you stay here. He has so many rooms. You can sleep in the KTV if you want, or in the entertainment room if you want. The big sofa is more comfortable than a bed. After Fan Xiaomei's parents leave, you can move back!"

Little Earthworm and Guan Guan's eyes lit up, and they quickly ran downstairs to ask for lodging.

Qiu Yingying was a company employee, and they got along quite well, so Hua Shier readily agreed. In addition to room 2101, any two girls could stay in rooms 2102 or 2103, with meals, accommodation, and entertainment all provided.

A few days later, as Hua Shier was sleeping with Andy in his arms, someone suddenly banged on the door, and Fan Shengmei's crying could be heard from outside.

"Wang Baichuan, come out and help! My dad has fallen ill!"

Hua Shier yawned, turned over, and was about to go back to sleep when Andy quickly nudged him awake.

"Hurry up, Fan Xiaomei will be knocking on my door soon. Don't give it away, or you'll scare Xiaoming. You go out first, I'll get dressed and go upstairs. I'll tell them I went for my morning exercise!"

Hua Shier had no choice but to put on her clothes and go out. Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer also came out of room 2102. They had been staying on the sofa in the KTV for the past two days and were asking Fan Shengmei what had happened.

When Fan Shengmei saw Hua Shier, she grabbed him and ran upstairs. When everyone went upstairs, they saw that Fan Shengmei's father was lying on Guan Juer's bed, unconscious, with a lot of saliva and mucus dripping from the corner of his mouth, all over Guan Juer's bed.

Guan Juer almost fainted. She wanted to question why the old man was sleeping in her bed, but seeing his condition and the anxious expressions of Fan Shengmei and her mother, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Bai Chuan, what should we do!"

Fan Shengmei was clearly flustered by her concern, and Hua Shier immediately took out a silver needle and inserted it into an acupoint on the old man's head:
"It's a brain hemorrhage! Don't move him, call emergency services immediately!"
