After a few minutes, the young man impatiently asked, “How long will it take?”
“You are so hurried, aren’t you?” Wang Yao sullenly asked .
“Yeah,” the young man replied .
“Ah!” The middle-aged man sighed . He had no way to deal with his son .
“Hold on, I will prescribe medicine for you . ” Wang Yao got the medicine and told him how to take it, along with the warnings .
“Pay attention to controlling your emotions and do not be angry . ” While Wang Yao spoke, he glanced at the young man .
“Ah, what do you mean by the glance?” The young man seemed to feel the meaning of the words .
“Go . ” His father could not put up with it anymore and led him out .
“Why are you dragging me?” The way where the young man spoke was very arrogant, as if it was not his father he was talking to but a servant or foe .
“Hey, young man, how can you talk to your father in that way?” The patients waiting could not tolerate his behavior .
“None of your business!” The young man rudely replied .
“Go! Now!” The man with the heart disease looked a little embarrassed . “I would not have brought him if I knew it . ”
Plump! He slammed the door shut .
“How can he talk to his father in that way?” a patient asked .
“Yeah,” another patient said . “Look at the young men nowadays!”
“Ah, Dr . Wang, I did not him refer to you,” another patient said .
“No worries,” Wang Yao said .
It was only an episode . It did only affected Wang Yao’s mood in that he was a little sad for the middle-aged man . With such children, it was impossible to not be heartbroken . Looking at him, he might be angry for long time .
In life, not being angry was not possible, but easing it out timely and through a good outlet were necessary . Being sulky hurt the body the most .
Wang Yao glanced around the room full of patients and got back to work . Before long, it was late afternoon and about to get dark .
In a residence in Lianshan, a woman asked, “How was it going to see the doctor?”
“No worries,” a middle-aged man said .
“Look at you . It was either good or bad . What do you mean by no worries?” His wife was a little angry .
The man did not speak . He lowered his head and left the room .
“I am talking to you,” his wife said . “What happened?”
The man stayed in the room alone . He laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling . He thought of what had happened in the afternoon, including his son’s and wife’s attitudes toward him . His wife treated him badly no matter if it was in or out of the home, and his son had never listened to him . He had put up with it all these years with the thought that it was worth as long as his son had his own career and family .
But, was it really worth? What was the meaning of his life?
He had been vexed for half of his life and did not want it to keep going like that . He sighed deeply .
“The medicine is ready . Come out to take it . ” His wife’s impatient voice came in from beyond the door .
She waited but heard nothing .
“What? Are you angry?” She tried to open the door, but it was locked from inside .
Lying on the bed in the room, the man stared at the ceiling . His eyesight became blurred . He seemed to see a young him full of vigor and vitality, and his parents who had passed away . “Dad, mom, sorry . I am a useless boy!”
“What are you doing in there? Open the door!” The women waited until 10 p . m . , but her husband did not open the door . This had never happened before . “OK, don’t come out . ”
Since they had more bedrooms, the woman went to another one to sleep . The next morning, she got up and found that the bedroom was still locked . She thought, Ah, don’t wake up forever!
The women groomed herself and went out . Since her husband usually cooked all the meals, she went to a restaurant .
She earned much more than her husband . As a result, she decided everything, no matter it was at home or not . She did not consider her husband at all even when confronting her husband’s family . She took it for granted that she took charge outside while her husband took care of the household .
She lived well considering it was a small county . She had accumulated assets started and then invested in the stock market . It was rare that a women would have special acumen in stock . Or, it could be thought that she made it thanks to the market . The money she earned in one year went beyond the sums of those others spent their whole life to earn . In this way, she could enjoy her life in any way she wanted .
“Going out?” a neighbor asked .
“Yeah,” she said .
“You are so beautiful,” the neighbor said .
“Really? Thanks,” she said .
She was totally different outside than at home . For outsiders, she always smiled . At home, she rarely did . Even the previous night, she only decocted the medicine soup for her husband out of whimsy . That was rare and unusual for her . Because of it, she was unsatisfied with her husband’s behavior .
After she had breakfast in a near restaurant, she did not return home . Instead, she visited one of her friends to play mahjong .
“Is your husband better?” the friend asked .
“Not yet, he is still lacking vigor . He lost his temper last night and locked himself in the room,” the woman said .
“Actually, your husband may live in hardship,” the friend said . “You ought to treat him better . ”
“Am I not good to him, while I support his life?” the woman asked .
“Your husband has his own job, doesn’t he?” the friend asked .
“Well, he earns a little,” the woman said . “Enough of that, forget it . Let’s just play . ”
After some rounds of mahjong, it was lunch time .
“Would you like to go with us to have lunch?” the friend asked .
“No thanks, I’d better go back home,” the woman said .
When she returned home, she found that her husband had not prepared lunch . The bedroom was still locked .
“How long will you be like this?” She raised her leg to kick the door .
There was still no response, so she went out to have lunch and ordered some side dishes . While she was eating, her complexion suddenly changed . She pulled down the chopsticks and hurriedly ran out .
“Hey, you didn’t pay for it!” the waiter yelled .
She put cash on the table and ran back home in a hurry . She turned boxes and chests upside down to find the key to the door, but she failed . She was flustered and sweating .
“Mom, what is going wrong?” her son asked .
Her had hurried back because he received a phone call from his mother . He had never heard her so flustered before .
“Your dad, your dad…” The woman was panicked .
“What happened to him?” her son asked .
“He locked himself in the room,” the woman said with despair .
“So what? Let him alone,” her son said .
“Open the door quickly . He has been in there for more than a day,” the woman ordered .
The young man realized something wasn’t quite right, so he hit the door . It was a firm wooden door . As they became rich, they had purchased a sturdy one .
