Chapter 1191 Good Brothers

Zhou Yiming said with a heavy heart, "Yes, we also feel quite sorry that you won't die!"

After Zhou Yiming finished speaking, before Jia Kuan could even open his mouth, Lin Hao also said with a regretful expression:

But this is a rare opportunity, so let's consider it a pre-death farewell. When you truly die, we may not even have time to attend.

"Stop fooling around!" The words of his two good brothers made Jia Kuan feel a little flustered, so he swallowed hard and said with some heartache:

"How much would it cost to book such a large hospital room?!"

"I'm worried about the money!" Lin Hao said with a serious expression.

"Boss Zhou paid in advance and used his connections to get you this single room!"

"It's only because the hospital doesn't allow it that you can book the whole hospital; otherwise, Boss Zhou would definitely have booked the entire hospital for you!"

"What are you doing, trying to show off your wealth?" At this moment, Jia Kuan's resentment at home had not yet dissipated, and his two brothers' words made him feel uncomfortable.

So Jia Kuan said with a lot of complaints, "Does our family not even have enough money for hospitalization?"

"What, why don't you give it back to me!" Zhou Yiming said irritably. "If all else fails, go to the eight-person room across the street. Would you even want to stay there?"

Jia Kuan felt uncomfortable thinking about having several patients in one room, so he turned his head away and didn't want to talk to them.

Lin Hao shook his head and said:

"Alright, as long as everyone's alright, let's not linger here any longer, we'll head back now!"

With that, Lin Hao and Jian Ai turned and left, while Zhou Yiming and Liu Yingxia also prepared to go out.

"Hey~ hey hey~, hey! You've all left!" Seeing that everyone in the house had left, including his good brother and wife, Jia Kuan panicked and exclaimed excitedly:

"What if I die here all by myself?"

Seeing Jia Kuan's hopeless state, Liu Yingxia said with a look of disappointment:
"You're a grown man, and you keep talking about death all the time. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?!"

"I'm not ashamed, what's shameful about me! What's shameful about me?" Seeing that she was injured and her brother wasn't giving her any face, Liu Yingxia said indignantly:

"Don't you know how I ended up like this?!"

"I don't know what I'm doing!" Liu Yingxia was angered by Jia Kuan's unreasonable behavior, so she said in a harsh voice:

"If you're not too ashamed, let's both lose face here today. I'll go back and stab myself right now, is that alright?"

"Jia Kuan, I'm telling you, I'm definitely getting a divorce from you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, look, look, look, are you trying to make me agitated again?" Jia Kuan shouted excitedly.

"You try causing a scene!" Liu Yingxia also became agitated, rushing towards Jia Kuan and shouting, "Go ahead and cause a scene!"

Seeing the two women's emotions erupt like a volcano, Jian Ai quickly stepped forward to pull Liu Yingxia away, while Lin Hao pushed Jia Kuan and shouted:
"Jia Kuan, look at your behavior! Why don't you cause some trouble and let us see!"

"You've gotten so capable, haven't you!" Zhou Yiming chimed in. "You've even resorted to surgery, don't you feel especially proud and arrogant?"

"Jia Kuan, how come I never knew you had this talent before!"

Lin Hao and the other two interrupted, and Jia Kuan and Liu Yingxia finally calmed down a bit. So Lin Hao said:

"Yeah! You even grabbed a knife and chased Liu Yingxia all over the house. Did you ever think about the consequences if you actually stabbed her? Would you even be able to live your life anymore?!"

"Why didn't you aim properly? You've ended up killing yourself, which saves us a lot of trouble!" Zhou Yiming said with a gloating expression.

Lin Hao said to Zhou Yiming with a look of agreement, "Let me tell you, even if he were to die here, it wouldn't have the slightest impact on the Earth!"

He then said to Jia Kuan, "People like you are just a waste of air while you're alive, and even after you die you'll find a place to disgust others!"

"No, you guys~!" Before Jia Kuan could finish speaking, Zhou Yiming continued sarcastically:

"Come on, I'll give you another chance. I'll stab you one more time. If you stab yourself to death here, then our trip won't have been in vain. We'll even hold a memorial service together!"

Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming worked together to finally calm Liu Yingxia down, and then Lin Hao gave Jian Ai a wink.

Seeing this, Jian Ai immediately said to Liu Yingxia, "Xia, come home with me and take a hot bath to calm your nerves. The two of them are here!"

With that, Jane pulled Liu Yingxia away.

By this time, Jia Kuan had calmed down and subconsciously glanced at Liu Yingxia. Seeing her distraught appearance, Jia Kuan realized that Liu Yingxia was frightened.

He felt a little embarrassed that his two good brothers, who had just been mocking and attacking him, were actually covering for him.

After Jian Ai and Liu Yingxia left, Jia Kuan still felt a little embarrassed, so he stubbornly said:

"What do you two mean? I'm the one who's injured, okay? Why are you two beating me up like this?!"

Jia Kuan, who was pretending to be stupid, was met with a chorus of "Shut up!" from Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming.

"Do you even have a brain?!" Lin Hao said.

“He’s a complete idiot!” Zhou Yiming added.

Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming ignored Jia Kuan and then ordered several takeout meals, all of which were extremely spicy.

When Jia Kuan saw that his two good brothers' takeout orders were all spicy, he felt like the sky had fallen.

"Why is everything spicy? The doctor told me not to eat spicy food, but you two deliberately ate it in front of me, your patient."

Jia Kuan said somewhat aggrievedly, "It's fine if you guys eat it, but what about mine?"

"It's all here!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Eat it or don't, it's up to you!" Zhou Yiming said irritably.

"Fine, my wife's always giving me trouble, and my brothers don't care about me either!" Jia Kuan said, bluffing, "I might as well just die!"

Jia Kuan glanced around and saw that his two good brothers were enjoying their meal and completely ignoring him. He immediately glared at them angrily.

"Hmm, this boiled beef is good, you should try it!"

"This braised duck in spicy broth is also good, and the side dishes are very fresh. You should try it!"

Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming ate by themselves, deliberately showing off in front of him, which made Jia Kuan unhappy.

"No, you two came here and started beating me up. Do you really think it's my fault?!"

"Do you two even know how I've been living all these years?!" Seeing that the two still ignored him, Jia Kuan continued to complain:

"My parents didn't approve of our marriage from the start..."

While watching his good brother eat the delicious food, Jia Kuan kept complaining, while Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming ate their spicy food without a care in the world.

"...If it weren't for my parents getting old and me worrying about them, I would have broken up with her a long time ago, and I would have given up on enduring it!"

After Jia Kuan finished venting, Lin Hao looked at the self-righteous Jia Kuan and said indifferently:

"We couldn't make ends meet any longer!"

“I can’t take it anymore!” Zhou Yiming added. “Then let’s get a divorce!” Lin Hao said.

"Divorce, absolutely divorce!" Zhou Yiming added.

"It's simple. Don't worry about whether it's spicy or not, just eat it and then go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, the two of us brothers will go with you!" Lin Hao said solemnly.

"I'll have our company's legal counsel go with you, and we'll get all your paperwork sorted out in one day tomorrow. I guarantee you won't suffer any losses!"

Watching the two brothers' back-and-forth banter, and sensing the situation was escalating, Jia Kuan, initially confident, grew increasingly timid, finally saying somewhat helplessly:

"No, I didn't say 'divorce,' she was the one who said she wanted a divorce!"

"That's perfect!" Lin Hao said seriously, "Let her have her way, now she won't be able to stay away even if she wants to!"

"This is unbearable!" Zhou Yiming chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.

"Now that he's been promoted to director, he's going to bully you even more. Listen to me, don't put up with it anymore, get a divorce!"

Lin Hao nodded in agreement and said, "And now that you mention it, I really think that kind of woman is not worth keeping!"

"Listen to me, divorce her. If you don't, I'll look down on you!"

At this moment, Jia Kuan said, somewhat at a loss:

"Wait, what exactly do you two mean by this coordinated performance?!"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to help you vent your anger!" Zhou Yiming said solemnly, "I can't stand seeing my brother living like this!"

"Actually, it's quite simple!" Lin Hao said seriously, "You two split your savings in half!"

“You can each have half of the house!” Zhou Yiming said with a serious expression.

"The car is split in half between us!"

"The house you built for them, you'll give them half!"

In short, it all boils down to one word!

"Leave!" Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming said in unison.

The more Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming talked, the more guilty Jia Kuan became. He couldn't keep up the act any longer and quickly begged for mercy:

"Alright, gentlemen, stop teasing me. I was wrong, okay?"

"you are wrong?"

"you are right!"

"What did you do wrong?"

"It's all Liu Yingxia's fault!"

Seeing that Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming were still relentlessly teasing him, he quickly admitted his mistake and said:

"No, no, no, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"Wow, that's really something!" Lin Hao said with a smirk, "Finally realized you were wrong!"

Seeing that Jia Kuan had truly realized his problem, Lin Hao took a bowl of porridge out of the food delivery box and handed it to him.

"Have a bite!" Zhou Yiming said.

Jia Kuan glanced at the two of them but still didn't speak. Lin Hao threw the spoon at him and said irritably:
"What, are you waiting to be fed?"

"Sigh!" Jia Kuan sighed, then picked up the porridge and ate it bite by bite.

At this moment, Zhou Yiming solemnly said: "Eat your fill, get a good night's sleep, and if you can't sleep, think about it carefully!"

"Go and apologize to Liu Yingxia properly first thing tomorrow morning, you hear me!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan said somewhat embarrassedly:
"But you all know Liu Yingxia's temper. Do you think she can just let this go so easily?"

"Besides, if I just bowed down to her like that, where would I put my old face!"

"Kuan'er, even at this point, you're still thinking about your own reputation!" Zhou Yiming said, utterly disappointed.

"If you have any shame, don't do something like this!" Lin Hao said.

“You’re not competitive enough, yet you blame others for working too hard. You’re just looking for trouble. We can’t just assume that whoever is weaker is right!” Zhou Yiming said.

Jia Kuan wasn't ungrateful; he knew his two brothers were doing it for his own good. Although somewhat embarrassed, Jia Kuan reluctantly compromised:

"Alright, alright, let me think about how I'm going to tell her tomorrow!"

Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming exchanged a glance. They had finally managed to persuade their grandson to come back, but they also knew that Jia Kuan probably still had some unresolved issues in his heart.

"Is there even a question?" So Lin Hao continued to persuade him, "Tell me yourself, aren't you living a life of bliss but not knowing it?"

"You're living such a good life now, you have a car, a house, a capable wife, and most importantly, you're reliable. You're very stable now, and your salary isn't low either!"

Thinking about why Jia Kuan and Liu Yingxia ended up like this, besides being jealous of Liu Yingxia's stronger abilities, another important reason is that Jia Kuan's income was lower than Liu Yingxia's, and his position was also lower than Liu Yingxia's, which led to his inferior status in the family.

Lin Hao then continued:

"Do you know what the average national wage is now?" Lin Hao gestured with his hand and said, "4300 yuan!"

"To put it bluntly, with your current standard of living and your monthly salary of over ten thousand, you belong to the top 10% of high-income earners nationwide, surpassing 90% of the working class!"

"If you add up your combined salaries, your family income will be nearly 40,000 yuan, which puts you in the top 3% nationwide. What else do you have to complain about!"

Zhou Yiming then said:

“Go out and take a look. Just go to this hospital. You don’t have to go far. In the corridor right outside the hospital, there are so many men like you, staying up all night to be with their families. So many people are crying in some corner!”

"Why do you think they're crying? Is it because they're emotional?"

Lin Hao then added:

"And for so many years, your elderly relatives have been taken care of by other people in your hometown!"

"Her family hasn't caused you any trouble, have they? Have you ever been lenient with them when they need something?"

"I think it's because your family needs money. They haven't been stingy with it, have they? Kuan'er, let's be honest, the life you have is what many people dream of!"

Looking at Lin Hao, who was speaking earnestly, and Zhou Yiming's concerned gaze, Jia Kuan naturally knew that they were doing it for his own good. Otherwise, who would stay at the hospital with a middle-aged man in the middle of the night?

Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming's persuasion helped Jia Kuan resolve his inner conflict, and his initial resentment subsided, replaced by a calm and peaceful state of mind.

In truth, he knew perfectly well that Liu Yingxia was a really good wife; it was just that the disparity in their incomes had previously put him under constant pressure.

However, he also knew that his good brother was doing it for his own good, and that ultimately one of them had to compromise in a marriage, so Jia Kuan nodded and said:
"Understood. I'll apologize tomorrow, even if it means kowtowing, I'll make sure to appease her!"

But thinking of Liu Yingxia's personality, Jia Kuan looked at Lin Hao and the other man with anticipation and said:
"By the way, you two have to come with me tomorrow!"

"The two of us will come with you?" Lin Hao asked, feigning surprise.
