The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang slept well at Liu's house, and the pain in his buttocks was much better the next day, as he felt that the wound had scabbed over.

Each time his memory is awakened, Wang Gang's physical strength returns to its peak within a week, which is also beneficial for wound healing.

Wang Gang stood up and tried to stretch his back; the wound indeed didn't hurt anymore.

"Hongchang, Hongchang, are you up?" came the voice of his sister-in-law, Wu Xiaoying, from outside the room.

"Sister-in-law, I'm already up, come in!"

Wu Xiaoying pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a set of clothes in her hand.

“Hongchang, you didn’t bring any luggage home yesterday, so Mom asked me to bring over some of your older brother’s clothes.” Wu Xiaoying said with a smile, “I’ve already made breakfast. Come out and eat after you’ve washed up.”

Wang Gang thanked her, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Please put the clothes on the table; I'll change myself later."

Wu Xiaoying put the clothes on the desk and then said, "The toothbrush and towel are still in their original places. Mom won't let us touch them, as if she knows you'll come back."

Wang Gang glanced at the room and sighed, "Nothing in the room has been touched. It's exactly the same as when I left!"

Wu Xiaoying laughed and said, "Mom won't let us touch it. She'll come in and clean it again every other day. The blankets and sheets were just washed two days ago."

Wang Gang sighed, "Mom still loves me the most."

As the youngest son, Liu Hongchang was always the most favored by Wang Cuilan at home. He was always waited on hand and foot and never did any housework.

As a result, after "marrying" into the He family, he became their slave, not only cooking from dawn till dusk, but also cleaning the house all by himself. If He Wenhui hadn't been embarrassed, she probably would have even had to wash a group of old women's underwear.

“Hongchang, you must never make Mom angry again,” Wu Xiaoying instructed. “When you ran away from home, Mom cried all night.”

"I know," Wang Gang sighed. "I'll never make Mom angry again!"

Wu Xiaoying was very pleased to see her brother-in-law realize his mistake and return to the right path.

Actually, the atmosphere in the Liu family is quite harmonious. Liu Hongchang has a very good relationship with his elder brother and sister-in-law, and they can even make some harmless jokes together.

Wu Xiaoying married into the Liu family relatively early. Although she was Liu Hongchang's sister-in-law, she watched him grow up and treated Liu Hongchang as half a son.

If it weren't for He Wenhui, the Liu family would have always been a model family, and none of those things would have happened.

Wu Xiaoying gave a few instructions and then left the room, telling Wang Gang to change his clothes so she could take them to wash.

Wang Gang changed his clothes and walked to the restaurant, where Wang Cuilan and Liu Yunchang were already waiting for him to eat.

"Mom, brother, good morning." Wang Gang greeted them first.

Liu Yunchang looked at Wang Gang in surprise and laughed, "How strange! You actually know how to call her 'Mom'. You used to call her by her full name, no matter how many times I told you."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "I was just young and ignorant back then!"

Liu Hongchang used to be spoiled and unrestrained at home, addressing Wang Cuilan by her first name, which Liu Yunchang considered extremely impolite.

"Alright, go out for a bit, at least you'll know some manners." Liu Yunchang nodded, quite pleased.

Wang Cuilan, sitting upright, said, "Alright! Sit down and eat!"

Wang Gang turned the chair upside down and slowly sat down. Wu Xiaoying brought him a bowl of porridge and a boiled egg.

"These eggs were specially cooked by Mom. She said you were injured and needed to recover properly."

Wang Gang smiled at Wang Cuilan and said, "Thank you, Mom!"

Although Wang Cuilan had a stern face, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. She picked up her chopsticks and said, "Yunchang, after you go to the hospital, go to the second canteen and ask Hongchang for a sick leave."

Liu Yunchang replied, "Mom, I understand."

Wang Gang said, "Brother, please pay for my medical expenses first, and I'll pay you back when I get my salary."

Liu Yunchang asked in surprise, "I gave you a thousand yuan as a wedding gift before, and you've spent it all?!" When Liu Hongchang got married, although Liu Yunchang didn't attend the wedding banquet, he still gave two red envelopes, one as his own gift and the other as Wang Cuilan's, totaling a thousand yuan.

In an era when the average wage was only 30 or 40 yuan, 1,000 yuan was a huge sum of money!

Wang Gang sighed and said, "I'll find a way to pay that money back later."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunchang wanted to say something more to Wang Gang, but Wang Cuilan stopped him.

"Alright! Let's eat first, the porridge is getting cold."

After Wang Cuilan spoke, no one else dared to speak and ate their breakfast in silence.

While eating, Wang Gang thought to himself that he would have to find a way to make some money in the future.

Liu Hongchang used to spend money extravagantly. To prepare for his wedding, he built a house, held a banquet, and bought gifts to please his wife. Later, he also had to take care of the entire He family. His savings had long been gone.

The wedding gifts received were kept by Yu Qiuhua; Liu Hongchang refused to accept them! What a complete traitor!
Wang Gang does have money in his spatial storage. Just in case, he has stored a lot of currency from this era, at least several thousand yuan, which is enough for emergencies.

However, that money must have a legitimate source, otherwise it's really hard to explain!

In this era, money that cannot be explained can be deadly.

Fortunately, this didn't stump Wang Gang, but everything would have to wait until he recovered.

The family ate breakfast quietly. After breakfast, Liu Yunchang went to the hospital to pay the bill, Wu Xiaoying went to work, and Wang Gang accompanied Wang Cuilan to wash the dishes.

"Go back to your room and rest!" Wang Cuilan felt sorry for her son and didn't want Wang Gang to overwork himself.

"Mom, I'm fine. The wound doesn't hurt anymore, and the doctor said I should move around a bit," Wang Gang insisted.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your butt?" Wang Cuilan asked suspiciously.

“You don’t use your butt to wash dishes. If you don’t believe me, I’ll jump around a couple of times to show you.” Wang Gang jumped around twice.

"No, calm down, don't reopen your wound," Wang Cuilan said with concern.

"Mom, I'm really fine. I can go back to work after another day of rest," Wang Gang said, patting his chest. "I'm young, healthy, and I'll recover quickly!"

Wang Cuilan carefully observed Wang Gang for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.

"Alright!" Wang Cuilan finally agreed to let Wang Gang help her.

The mother and son washed the dishes together and finished quickly. Wang Cuilan thought about buying some vegetables in the morning and making something nice for her son to eat at noon.

Wang Gang naturally couldn't go out, so he could only go back to his room to rest.

Wang Cuilan, carrying a vegetable basket, opened her front door and was about to go to the market when she saw an unexpected person.

"Mom!" He Wenhui stood awkwardly at the Liu family's gate.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Cuilan asked He Wenhui with a displeased expression.

He Wenhui lowered her head and said, "Mom, has Hongchang come back?"

"No, I can't accept being called 'Mom' by you," Wang Cuilan said, her face pale.

Last night, He Wenhui went to the hospital to take care of her husband as instructed by her mother, only to find that Wang Gang had already been discharged. The nurse even asked her to pay the medical bills.

He Wenhui could only pay ten yuan, then ran home to tell her mother.

Yu Qiuhua guessed that Wang Gang might have run back to the Liu family, so she asked He Wenhui to come and visit him early in the morning to ask for Wang Gang's forgiveness.

He Wenhui was young and didn't know any better. She didn't even bring anything when she visited the patient and came empty-handed.

Perhaps she never truly cared about Liu Hongchang, which is why she didn't consider those formalities. (End of Chapter)
