After lunch, Wang Gang said goodbye to Qiao Weidong and Xiao Meng and drove home.
Unexpectedly, Tong Wenjie was also at home, still packing her luggage.
"Why did you come back at noon?" Wang Gang asked curiously.
Tong Wenjie's eyes were red. As she packed her luggage, she said, "My sister is ill. She seems to be very serious. I want to go to Fujian."
Wang Gang instantly realized that Lin Lei'er was coming.
"What is your sister's illness? Why is it so sudden? Do you want to be transferred to the capital for treatment?" Wang Gang asked.
"I don't know either." Tong Wenjie suddenly couldn't help it and burst into tears.
"I heard from my brother-in-law that my sister is dying and asked me to go over and see her one last time."
Looking at the helpless Tong Wenjie, Wang Gang hugged her and comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe things are not as bad as you think."
Tong Wenjie shook her head and cried bitterly: "You don't know my sister's temper. If it wasn't really a matter of life and death, she would never make this call!"
Wang Gang sighed: "Don't be pessimistic. Bring more money. We will treat your sister's illness no matter how much it costs."
Tong Wenjie nodded sadly.
"I won't be here for a few days, so take good care of Fanfan."
"Don't worry! Everything will be fine as long as I'm at home. Don't be afraid of spending money when you get there."
Wang Gang helped Tong Wenjie pack her luggage and drove her to the airport himself.
"Have you asked for leave from the company?" Wang Gang asked Tong Wenjie in the car.
"I said hello to the leader," Tong Wenjie said absently.
As soon as Wang Gang heard this, he understood that Tong Wenjie must have had some conflicts with her boss in order to ask for leave.
The frustration of migrant workers is that the higher you climb, the greater the responsibilities you bear, and sometimes it is difficult to ask for leave.
After Wang Gang saw Tong Wenjie off, it was almost time. He hurriedly drove to Shuxiang Yayuan to pick up Fang Yifan.
When Wang Gang arrived at Song Qian's house carrying two large bags of snacks, Fang Yifan was holding a book and biting his nails.
When Song Qian saw the snacks, she knew it was from Qiao Weidong without Wang Gang saying anything.
"You return these things to Qiao Weidong and tell him that Yingzi will not eat these junk foods." Song Qian said with a dark face.
Qiao Yingzi looked at the snacks and then at her mother. In the end, she didn't say anything, but her longing eyes were visible even to Fang Yifan.
Wang Gang was confused: "Song Qian, please don't embarrass me. Otherwise, I'll put these things here for you first. Fang Yifan will eat some when he's hungry after studying in the afternoon."
When Qiao Yingzi heard this, her eyes almost lit up.
Fang Yifan directly took a large bag of snacks and said, "Aunt Song, I love these things, give them all to me!"
"If you like to eat, take them all home!" Song Qian was polite to everyone except for being cold to Qiao Weidong.
"I have a lot of these things at home, so I'd better keep them here with you! If Fanfan is greedy, just eat some." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Seeing that Wang Gang had said this, Song Qian could only put away the snacks, and then said to her daughter: "Yingzi, your trachea is sensitive, please don't eat these junk foods."
Qiao Yingzi assured: "Mom, don't worry! I don't like to eat these."
Secretly, Qiao Yingzi and Fang Yifan exchanged glances.
Wang Gang read their eyes.
"Yingzi, if you eat secretly from now on, if Aunt Song finds out, it will all be on me."
"Fang Hou, good brother, really loyal."
Wang Gang smiled silently and asked Song Qian: "How did Fanfan learn today?"
Song Qian glanced at Fang Yifan and said, "Fanfan is quite smart. He can learn anything quickly, but he doesn't pay much attention."
Wang Gang instantly understood the meaning of Song Qian's words.
Fang Yifan is smart, but his mind is not on studying, so his tutoring efficiency is not high.
"Fanfan, pack your schoolbags, let's go home." Wang Gang sighed in his heart, knowing that his attitude towards study cannot be changed in a short time.
Fang Yifan happily got into the car and said, "Dad, let's eat hotpot mutton tonight!"
As long as he doesn't study, Fang Yifan is very energetic.
"Your mother is going to visit your aunt. It's just the two of us who will have dinner tonight, so we can make whatever we want." Wang Gang said while driving.
"Mom went to play with my aunt, but she didn't take me with her?" Fang Yifan complained.
"Your aunt is sick and may not be in good condition." Wang Gang explained.
Fang Yifan was stunned. At the age of eighteen, he was already ignorant about death.
The father and son returned home in silence. Wang Gang made some fried noodles for Fang Yifan in the evening, and then waited for Tong Wenjie's call.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Tong Wenjie's call finally came, and Fang Yifan was the first one to jump out.
"Mom, how is auntie?" Fang Yifan asked with concern.
"Fanfan, please give your dad the phone, we have something to talk about." Tong Wenjie said while holding back her grief.
Fang Yifan honestly handed the phone to Wang Gang, and he pressed close to the microphone.
"I've already arrived at the hospital. My sister's condition is very bad. She has cancer. The doctor said it has spread throughout her body. It's just happened in the past two days."
Wang Gang frowned and said: "How could it be so fast? I haven't heard your sister mention it before!"
Tong Wenjie cried: "My sister was diagnosed with cancer a year ago and has been secretly receiving treatment without telling me. If my brother-in-law hadn't called secretly this time, I would have been kept in the dark.
My sister is so cruel that she doesn’t even want me to see her for the last time.”
Wang Gang said with relief: "Your sister is afraid that her illness will affect you."
"I know." Tong Wenjie cried, "My sister is so pitiful. She has never enjoyed much blessing in her life. She is suffering from this disease at such a young age. My brother-in-law is nothing. My sister has found a good home before she dies."
Wang Gang asked in surprise: "What's going on? Sister and brother-in-law are divorced?"
"No." Tong Wenjie said sadly: "But my sister is so sick, how can I stop my brother-in-law from finding a woman?"
Wang Gang sighed and said, "Does your sister have any last wishes?"
Tong Wenjie said: "My sister has nothing to worry about. She is just worried that her son Lei'er will be bullied by his stepmother in the future!"
Wang Gang could tell that Tong Wenjie seemed to have something to say to him.
"Wait a moment." Wang Gang put away his phone and Fang Yifan said, "Go back to your room to review your homework. I will test you later."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fang Yifan reluctantly went back to his room. Wang just said to Tong Wenjie: "Do you want to raise your sister's son?"
"Lei'er is so pitiful. He is a sophomore in high school like Fanfan this year. He will be a senior in high school when school starts, and he will take the college entrance examination next year." Tong Wenjie cried:
"Once my sister leaves, he will be a child without a mother. If he is bullied by his stepmother again, it will affect his college entrance examination for the rest of his life."
When Wang Gang first saw Xiao Huanxi, the one who felt most distressed was Lin Lei'er.
"I don't object to you bringing Lei'er back, but the premise is that my brother-in-law agrees, and Lei'er himself is willing!" Wang Gang said.
"If my brother-in-law refuses to agree, my sister won't be able to get around him even if she turns into a ghost." Tong Wenjie changed her tone and said, "As for Lei'er, his registered permanent residence is in the capital. No matter what, he has to come here to take the college entrance examination."
Wang Gang nodded and said: "I'll take care of Fanfan's side. You concentrate on doing good things. I'll take Fanfan there when I have time."
"You and Fanfan, please don't come! It will delay his study." Tong Wenjie said worriedly.
"That's Fanfan's aunt, your eldest sister, and a relative. How could you not do something like this!" Wang Gang said firmly:
"Don't worry! I will make arrangements."
Tong Wenjie suddenly felt relieved and felt that she was much luckier than her sister. At least she had a man to rely on.
Just as Wang hung up the phone, he called Fang Yifan out and told him about his aunt and Lin Lei'er.
"You are also eighteen years old and an adult. I won't hide some things from you at home. You can express your opinions on bringing your cousin over to live with you. Your mother and I will also accept your opinions." Wang Gang said seriously.
.
"Of course I agree, haven't I always wanted a younger brother?" Fang Yifan said happily.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "An extra person in the family is not as simple as an extra pair of chopsticks. It involves many things. I hope you can think about it carefully and I will give you time to think about it."
Wang Gang didn't want Fang Yifan to be treated like a child, but wanted him to think about Lin Lei'er's living here as a man.
This is also the test Wang Gang gave his son.
The next day, Wang Gang first called Song Qian to explain the situation and postponed Fang Yifan's tutoring time for a few days.
Song Qian expressed her understanding and said that when they come back, Fang Yifan should be able to find tutors for other subjects.
As for Qiao Weidong and Xiaomeng, Wang Gang also said hello, and we can only wait until they come back.
Wang Gang and his son took a flight for several hours. After landing, Tong Wenjie picked him up, and her face looked ugly.
"My sister left at five in the morning." Tong Wenjie said sadly and angrily: "My brother-in-law and I mentioned Lei'er's matter, but he didn't agree and wanted to ask us for money!"
Wang Gang was surprised: "We helped him raise his son and didn't ask for any support, but he asked us for money instead?!"
"My sister is blind to encounter such a man!" Tong Wenjie said angrily.
