Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Cannot Bear to See Him Dien/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Father? Ridden with a sudden illness!

“That’s right! He’s waiting for you by the factory entrance! Hurry up and go; I’ll approve of your three days leave. Don’t worry about your work for now. Come back after you settle your family matters.”

Niu Hongxia was a nice person, directly giving her days off work.

“Thank you, chief!” Su Hanyan was grateful. “Then I’ll take my leave now.”

“Go, go! Family matters are more important.” Niu Hongxia waved her off.

Su Hanyan immediately ran toward the factory entrance. It snowed yesterday, so a few times, she almost slipped. Still, she did not dare to slow down.

If she remembered correctly, Su Dajiang would die from this serious illness.

In the original novel, there were not many descriptions of the man. During the seventies, he responded to the nation’s call and went to aid in the Third Front Movement at the south-western region of the country

He had been gone for seven to eight years. His day of return coincided with Su Hanyan agreeing to the Zhou family’s marriage proposal and rushing over to have a blind date with their son.

His illness was too sudden and he passed away before they even had the chance to reunite.

The original owner cared a lot about her father. When she heard that her father had passed away due to illness, she fainted.

Su Hanyan discovered that in the original owner’s dark and desolate life, there was a beautiful oasis, which was also her happiest memory; that was the times she spent with her father.

He personally taught her how to write her first Chinese character, took her to the zoo, and combed her hair with his rough and clumsy hands. Every time he went on a business trip, he would bring back beautiful sweets… Although they were trivial, they were her precious memories.

Su Hanyan was touched by such memories. Deep inside, she could not bear to see this loving father die!

Perhaps, because of his existence—a kind existence, the family would more or less help her. Even though it was no great help, it was still some help!

When she arrived at the entrance to the factory, she saw her third brother squatting beside a snow pile in his gray cotton-padded jacket, smoking impatiently.

“How’s dad?”

Hearing her question, Su Jingrui threw away the cigarette in his hand and stood up. The first thing he said was a reprimand. “Why did you only come out? Are you a snail?”

“What did you eat this morning for you to be so irritable? Don’t you know how to talk?” Su Hanyan glared at her third brother and patted the bicycle seat. “If you have the time to talk nonsense, hurry up and go to the hospital!”

“Are you ordering me?” Su Jingrui cracked his neck and raised an eyebrow.

She looked at him and felt both annoyed and amused. She really wanted to give him a slap. What kind of time was this yet he was still competing with her? Clearly, he did not know what was important and what was not.

She did not have time to waste on him.

“Not leaving? I’ll go by myself, then!” She hopped on the bicycle and pedaled forward.

“You!” Su Jingrui was furious. He ran after her and grabbed the back of the bicycle. He gritted his teeth and roared, “Are you rebelling? You quarreled with us yesterday and even learned how to run away from home! You didn’t come home for a night, and today, you’re picking a fight with me! Get down!”

“Are you leaving or not?” Su Hanyan stopped and propped herself with one foot, looking up at her brother. “Dad is suffering in the hospital, and you’re arguing with me here? Is this the correct time for it?”

“Let’s go!” Su Jingrui admitted his mistake.

Now was not the time. When their father recovered, he would deal with his sister!

He sat on the bicycle seat, while Su Hanyan moved to the backseat. Facing the rising sun and the bitingly cold wind, they rode to the People’s Hospital.
