The old lady was utterly exhausted in body and mind. Seeing the old man’s reaction, it was clear he had not yet given up. With that, she decided to say no more. Good advice is wasted on someone hell-bent on their own destruction. She would just let it be; she was tired. The old man was not a child anymore; since he chose to act, he could wait to face the consequences later. In this world, there is no medicine one can take to cure regret.
Just as the old lady began to drift off to sleep, Feng Qingqing returned home with her two children. Her mind wandered back to the elderly couple she had seen that morning. It was obvious that several times the old man had wanted to open his mouth to say something; without a doubt, it had to be regarding the treatment for Fang Guangmei’s mother-in-law’s chronic illness. But the old lady, likely unwilling, had interrupted him time and again. By the end, the old man had probably realized this and decided not to bring it up again that day.
However, Feng Qingqing knew that, given Old Master Fang’s personality, he had only refrained from mentioning it in front of his wife. He would inevitably come to find her alone later. After all, it was a task entrusted to him by his dear nephew, and it seemed the old man had already made up his mind. So many days had passed; surely the Fang family had thought through everything that needed to be thought and said. That he was still like this meant that at least the old man had reached a clear stance.
