Fu Jingyou's eyes suddenly reddened.

He looked down and grasped Lu Miao's hand.

From the back of Lu Miao's hand to his wrist, and then to his arm, it was as if he was gradually confirming something.

His hands were shaking terribly, and he was terribly panicked, but he didn't dare to actually check Lu Miao's breathing.

Until he grabbed Lu Miao's shoulder, his vision blurred, his voice choked, and he shook him violently in a panic:
"Miaomiao, wake up?! Wake up! Miaomiao!"

Lu Miao did not make a move at first.

But then, she moved.

Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, her face pale.

Before I could even see clearly what was in front of me, I felt pain in both shoulders.

"Brother You?"

Lu Miao looked completely bewildered.

Fu Jingyou's deep, peach-blossom eyes widened in panic. He didn't answer her, but instead grabbed her shoulders and suddenly shouted loudly:

"Didn't I tell you? Take your medicine before you sleep! Take your medicine before you sleep! Why didn't you wait for me to come back after I poured the water... Why did you suddenly..."

Fu Jingyou couldn't continue speaking after only saying half of what he had said.

He pulled her into his arms, his embrace remaining tight and close the entire time...

He held her and cried:

"Don't do this, don't leave me, don't leave me!"

Lu Miao initially just sat there blankly, letting him hold her.

But after recovering from her dazed state, she raised her arms and slowly wrapped them around the man's neck.

The man's once ambitious and spirited face seemed to overlap with his current expression as he held her and broke down in tears.

In that instant, Lu Miao's brow furrowed in struggle, and a sudden pang of regret arose in his heart.

It was because of her that he felt panicked.

And this panic may not be limited to the present moment.

He may live in this shadow for the next three, five, or ten years.

Because there's one thing they probably all know, and they're probably the same about it.

Lu Miao's eyelashes trembled, her eyes reddened, and a string of tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

She hugged him tightly, closed her eyes to stop the tears from flowing, and buried her face in his neck and shoulders.

I am sorry.

—I'm so sorry...

Fu Jingyou also deeply regretted it.

He had thought countless times that he should have never left Dahe Village.

Perhaps, things wouldn't be like they are now.

He is too greedy.

They always want to strive for a better life.

But even if life becomes a little more ordinary, so what?

He wanted to be with her for a long, long time.

He only wanted to be with her forever!

There was quite a commotion in the backyard, and Tian Guihua and the others ran over when they heard the noise.

Everyone stopped in their tracks when they saw the two people embracing and crying.

I didn't rush forward to disturb them.

The suffering of the sick and the torment of their companions are unspoken, but all observers can see it.

……

Lu Miao is absolutely right.

The choices a person can make in the present moment are very likely to be the optimal ones.

There is no medicine for regret in this world.

Now that things have come to this point, there's no use in regretting it, and we can't blame those who made the choices they made.

They could only keep moving forward.

So after returning from another check-up at the hospital in Wuhan, Fu Jingyou had already started packing his luggage.

Because the doctor said that the anti-tuberculosis medication Lu Miao was taking contained ototoxicity and neurotoxicity.

Long-term use will more or less have an impact on the body.

It is normal for her to experience dizziness or temporary loss of consciousness in her daily life.

The only area that requires special attention is hearing.

Because it could very likely cause irreversible damage.

At this stage, Lu Miao's hearing has already shown signs of damage.

To prevent the condition from worsening, the medication must be readjusted.

Although Han City Hospital is a large hospital, they don't actually have many of the medications there.

Transferring from other provinces or hospitals takes a long time and involves complicated procedures.

This matter was very serious, and Fu Jingyou dared not delay, so he decided to take Lu Miao back to Beijing ahead of schedule.

I came back to recuperate.

The reason I'm leaving now is also because of Lu Miao's illness.

Once they leave, who knows when they'll be back.

The uncle, aunt, brother, and sister-in-law all felt reluctant to part with him.

However, considering Lu Miao's health condition, the family quietly cooperated with the tidying up, and no one said anything to persuade or try to keep him.

When they finally left with their luggage, their two elderly parents simply held Bai Chuan and followed behind, tears streaming down their faces as they saw them off to their car at the threshing ground.

Fu Jingyou was usually not a talkative person, and he was even less so when it came time to say goodbye.

But this time, unexpectedly, after arranging for Lu Miao and the child to get in the car, he waved and called for Brother He to get in the car as well.

They said they wanted Brother He to see them off.

His family assumed he had something he couldn't handle, so they asked Brother He to come and lend a hand on the way.

Therefore, he didn't suspect anything and just urged Brother He to go with him quickly.

He Erge naturally wouldn't refuse.

Lu Miao carried Bai Chuan to the passenger seat, while He Erge got into the back seat.

Many people from the village came over to take a look.

As the car wobbled off, everyone watched it the whole way.

Soon, someone pointed towards the mountain path outside the village and said:
"Oh dear, Uncle Hongjin! Did Brother Liu and the others forget something? I think the car has stopped!"

He Hongjin quickly looked closely, and it really was!
Not only did the car stop, but people also got out of it.

Even though He Hongjin was old and his eyesight was failing, he couldn't clearly see who got off the bus.

But as the car continued driving forward, he guessed who got out.

He Hongjin, Chen Guifen, Tian Guihua and the others hurried towards the village entrance.

Sure enough, they ran into Brother He Er, who had been running all the way back, halfway there.

He Erge was panting heavily.

He Hongjin and Chen Guifen couldn't wait for him to rest, and hurriedly asked:
"Fengcang, Fengcang! What's wrong with you? Why did you come back again?"

Brother He waved his hand, panting, and said:

"My sister-in-law said they put two envelopes under the chopping board at home. One was for Guihua to take and raise the two children well in their studies, and the other was for my parents to take and say to renovate the house..."

Before He Erge could finish speaking, He Hongjin, feeling a mix of anger and disappointment, jumped up and slapped him on the head.
"Why didn't you stop them! Every time you tell them to bring money home!"

Fearing that her father-in-law would hit the child's father again, Tian Guihua quickly stepped forward to pull him away.

Chen Guifen was crying uncontrollably, but she also stepped forward and pulled He Hongjin away to stop him from hitting her.

Brother He didn't take offense to his father, and said helplessly:

“I didn’t know about this either… I thought Xiao Liu really wanted me to take them, but halfway there he said there was something wrong with the tires and asked me to get out and check. As soon as I got out, he locked the car…”

After saying those few words through the window, they drove away.

He Hongjin didn't say anything more, only sighed as he looked at the empty mountain road in the distance.

Fu Jingyou originally thought he would stay in his hometown until the end of the year, so he had discussed it with Lu Miao beforehand.

I plan to renovate my uncle and aunt's old house after this busy farming season is over.

But the incident happened so suddenly that they had to go back early.

Whether it was their uncles and aunts or their brothers and sisters-in-law, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou knew that they would definitely not accept money directly.

That's why we resorted to this desperate measure. (End of Chapter)
