Chapter 697: Moved

Meanwhile, the Su Family was still searching for the girl who had saved Mr. Su. Su Rumei even took a leave of absence from work to stay by Mr. Su’s side, taking care of him.

"The way she’s acting makes us daughters-in-law look unfilial," Fu Lingling complained to her sister Fu Jing.

"Alright, just say a little less," Fu Jing said with a smile, "Aren’t you busy with work and can’t get away? Besides, you’re making several trips a day to the hospital, which is tiring. After all, it’s about the old man and not your mother-in-law, which makes it somewhat easier to care for him."

"But that’s not how she sees it. She always thinks we daughters-in-law are bad," Fu Lingling said, peeling an orange, taking a bite, and sighing. "Some people are just fortunate. Even as a mere adopted daughter without a father or mother, she got taken in by such a family."

The life she leads is something that makes many biological daughters in Capital City envious.

"Okay, I think you’re getting more and more excessive," Fu Jing stopped her, "Keep these words to yourself, don’t say them in front of Encai, got it?"

"Sis, I’m not stupid," Fu Lingling said, putting the last segment of the orange into her mouth, then wiping her hands and standing up, "I’m leaving."

"Why don’t you stay for dinner?" Fu Jing suggested.

"No, I have to rush to the hospital," Fu Lingling said helplessly, "If I’m late, it’ll look like I’m unfilial."

It’s not that she doesn’t want to see the old man; it’s just that every time she sees Su Rumei’s fake act, it makes her angry.

Fu Lingling complained a couple of times, grabbed her bag, and hurried to the hospital.

At the hospital, it was rare not to see Su Rumei. Instead, her husband, Su Encai, was there.

"Where’s Rumei?" Fu Lingling asked.

"She said she went to that little shop to ask about things," Su Encai replied, "I think she’s right. If anyone can find something out, it’s the big sister."

Fu Lingling smiled without saying anything, picked up the thermos, found there was still water in it, poured some into the basin, and started wiping Su Changsheng’s face. "I’ve heard it’s the place where Dad and Mom first met. Do you think Dad might have encountered something related to Mom there?"

The old man had an inner strength about him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have worked underground for so many years.

So common things rarely affected him.

Unless it was something related to his mother-in-law whom he’d never met.

After all these years, the old man was always thinking about his mother-in-law. Even when the country was liberated, and they wanted to match him for a personal solution, he refused.

How many of the old man’s comrades are still like him, waiting for a wife who is either missing or departed?

"He’s... he’s moving." As soon as Fu Lingling finished speaking, Su Encai said excitedly, "I... I just saw Dad’s eyelids move."

"Dad," Su Encai leaned over and whispered, "Can you hear what I’m saying?"

However, Mr. Su on the bed did not respond again.

"What did you say just now?" Su Encai asked his wife.

"I said, could it be something to do with Mom?" Fu Lingling suddenly realized and also leaned over, "Dad, did you see Mom?"

Then, Fu Lingling felt the hand she was using to wipe Su Changsheng’s face suddenly grip her own.

"Dad, can you hear me?" Fu Lingling said excitedly.

"Dad, is Dad awake?" Su Rumei, who had just pushed the door open, ran over excitedly, "Dad, open your eyes and look at me; I’m your daughter Meimei."
