The door was a good one and had a good lock . It was naturally hard to open it or break it by force .

The young man tried hard to exert much strength, but he still failed . Even with such loud noise, there was no reaction from inside the room . His face quickly changed . “Call a lock company . ”
After they called, the a lock company employee soon arrived . “Is it locked from inside?”
“Yes,” the woman said .
“OK, leave it to me,” the employee said .
Using professional implements, the door was unlocked with the sound of crack within two minutes .
The mother and son rushed into the room . The windows were open . Sunshine was all about . On the bed was a fully clothed man . He seemed to be asleep, except that his complexion was weird .
On the bedside table, there was a white plastic medicine bottle .
“Zhao?” The woman called him gently as she approached the bed . She quivered to stretch out her fingers to his nose . There was no breath .
The woman’s mind instantly went blank . Plump! She fell down and just sat on the ground .
“Zhao!” She shouted in a high voice and could not help crying .
There were no responses to her shout . The man on the bed would be asleep like that forever .
“Dad?!” The young man was stunned .
He never thought something like this would happen . Unreasonably, he did not feel any real grief . He did not cry . He just stood in amazement .
“Damn it! He died . ” The man who came to unlock the door was shocked . Forgetting the payment, he quickly left, breaking a willow twig as he went . “It is so unlucky!”
In the room, the woman sat on the ground with a blank mind . Something kept nagging at her, but it was as if she was dull-witted as she consistently teared up .
It was what was always going on in the world . It was what it was like to have human affection . After being together a long time, a couple may eventually discover that what they were was not as good as it had been . It often led to seeing the partner’s shortcomings, such as idleness, coxcombry, eating too much, being stingy, being unromantic etc . Seeing the exposed defects, someone might regret the original choice . But, life was like that . It was more likely to be full of flatness and tolerance . Each part took one step back, no matter who took charge, who made decisions, or who was the host of the family .
Fireworks were splendid but transient . Running water was flat but sustaining . Couples in a marriage could not be spared from disputes . Only when losing a partner, could the other one find the original shortcomings were extremely trivial . As long as he or she was living, it was still worth the efforts, even under a poor financial support .
“Mom, call a doctor,” the son said .
It had to be settled . They could not wait with her sitting and him standing while a dead man laid on the bed .
“OK,” the woman responded . Her eyes were still glazed over .
“I will get you some water . ” The young man poured a cup of water for his mother .
The woman did not take it . She did not want it . She was crying so much and could not stop .

“Your dad died because he was angry with me . He had been angry his whole life,” the woman sobbed .
“Mom, don’t talk that!” The young man hurriedly comforted his mother .
“It is my fault! My fault!” She ripped her hair .
“Mom!” The son didn’t know what to do .
The test result was simple . The man had died from an hypnolic overdose .
The doctor in charge of the test sighed thinking, One more family tragedy! Only the people whose heart was dead desperately pursued death .
The news quickly spread to the neighbors .
“Hey, did you know Mr . Zhao committed suicide?” one neighbor said .
“I heard . Alas, he was a good man,” another neighbor said .
“Yes, he was . Xu Meili is so mighty . She did not spare his feelings no matter it was at home or outside,” another neighbor said .
“Yes, you are right . If I dared to command my husband in the presence of others, he would lose temper,” the first neighbor said .
“Now that he passed away, she cries as if she lost her soul,” the other neighbor replied .
Since they lived in the same community, they knew each couple’s relationships . They also knew the hostess of the Zhao household was mighty .
The man’s widow organized the funeral . All his relatives came .
“Xu Meili, did our brother die because of you?” a relative asked .
They had come with anger . They knew that their brother was vexed for many years and the might of the sister-in-law . They could see it every time they met, but they never thought it would end in this way . He was dead because he drank pesticide .
“Yeah, I pushed him to death,” the woman said .
She admitted it because she regretted that she had been bad to her husband . Now, he was dead . Where could she find another one who could take care of her and love her like him?
“You, you…” The relatives of the deceased did not know what to say .
“No, it was not because of my mother,” the woman’s son suddenly said . “His death was related to the mistake of taking medicine!”
“What, what are you saying, Chongyang?” a relative asked .
“My dad had taken medicine before his death . It was Chinese medicine soup . In my view, it had something wrong with it,” the young man said .

“Xu Meili, did my brother take any medicine?” the relative asked .
“Maybe?” At this time, Xu Meili did not remember anything clearly, not even what she ate in the morning . Everything she thought of was about the pas, the abuse she inflicted on her husband .
“Didn’t the doctor say that it was because of the overdose of hypnotics?” the relative asked
“It must be in the medicine,” Zhao Chongyang decisively said .
“Do you have the medicine left?” the relative asked .
“Yeah,” Zhao Chongyang said .
“Go on to take a test,” the relative said .
“We can deal with it later . Now, we are holding the funeral,” Zhao Chongyang said .
In the village, Zhong Liuchuan’s sister received the first treatment . She took the medicine and received acupuncture and a massage on the acupoints to dredge the blood .
Wang Yao also used this method on Du Feng . Their symptoms were different, but some were same .
“Did you sleep well last night?” he asked .
“Good,” Zhong Anxin said with a smile .
She slept well indeed . It was very quiet and peaceful in the village . Since she had taken some painkillers, she fell asleep slept throughout the night .
“Did you still take the medicine prescribed in the hospital?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, it is to protect the liver,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Stop it . There is no need to take it,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Good . I’m finished this time . Take the medicine when you get back and keep optimistic,” Wang Yao said .
In the afternoon, Wang Yao closed the clinic . On his way back home, he saw Wang Zecheng back by a motorcycle . He looked exhausted .
“Coming back home?” Seeing Wang Yao, he stopped and greeted him . His breath was disordered .
“You must be tired,” Wang Yao said .

“Ah, not much,” Wang Zecheng said .
“You cannot go in this way . Your body will collapse sooner or later,” Wang Yao said .
“No worries, I can do it,” Wang Zecheng said . He had to work hard to support his family . It also was compensation to his family for his past misconducts .
Wang Yao watched him carefully, especially his Qi . Accumulated laborious work led to disease, which would happen suddenly like a mountain collapse . “Come to my clinic tomorrow morning . ”
“What?” Wang Zecheng was stupefied, but he still agreed though he did not know the reason .
The next morning, it was a little bit overcast and sultry . At around 10 a . m . , a luxurious car entered the village .
“Is it here?” a man asked .
“It should be . The doctor is called Wang Yao,” another man said .
The car parked outside the clinic .
“Ah, the building is not bad . It is stylish,” the first man said .
Two men got out of the car . One was over 30 . He stood very straight like a pine tree . The other man, the driver was over 40 and a little bit fat but maintained himself carefully since his face was ruddy .
“Let’s go take a look,” the man in his 30s said .
Several patients in the clinic were sitting on chairs waiting in line .
“Hello, may I ask, are you Wang Yao, Dr . Wang?” the man in his 30s asked .
“It is me,” Wang Yao said . “Can I help you?”
“Can you see a patient?” the man asked .
“Get a plate and wait in line,” Wang Yao said, pointing to the plate hanging on the door .
“The matter is urgent,” the man said . “Would you please give us a privilege?”
Wang Yao raised his head to look at them . “Is the patient not coming?”
“No,” the man said .
“Where at?” Wang Yao asked .
“In Jing,” the man said .
“I don’t make house calls, sorry . ” Wang Yao continued to see the patient .
“Please take his medical history,” the man said . “Would you please take a look?”
“Wait in line,” Wang Yao relentlessly said .
The driver grew angry, but the man he was with stopped him . “OK, OK . ” He took a plate and waited in line .
Around noon, it was finally their turn . The man took out the medicine history and gave it to Wang Yao .
“He is 78?” Seeing the age, Wang Yao felt the disease might be troublesome .
“Yes,” the man said .
The disease was caused by the failure of his body and metabolic disorders .
“How long?” Wang Yao asked .
“Almost two years,” the man said after thinking for a moment .
“Bring him here . ” Wang Yao returned the medical history to him .
“But, my father is too weak,” the man said . “Would you please…”
“Sorry,” Wang Yao said .
“Dr . Wang, we can pay for it . The price is not a problem,” the man said .
“Please go if you have nothing else . ” Wang Yao felt disgusting . It was another smug person .
“Dr . Wang…” The man began to try and persuade him to no avail .
“Next . ” Wang Yao did not respond and began to see the next patient .
The man took a deep breath to calm down and they turned away .
Out in the yard, the driver said, “Boss, he is too arrogant!”
“Since he is young, it is natural to be arrogant . I will call Mr . Chen to ask him,” the man said .
He called him and told them the situation .
“What? I told you before you went . Who do you think you are? In Jing, even Su, Wu, or I don’t dare to speak to him in that way . I cannot help!” Mr . Chen immediately hung up the phone .
The middle-aged man stood there for a long while stunned . “Is it serious like that?”
Honestly, he did feel there was anything wrong with his attitude .
