Chapter 846 Village Cadres Notify Li Shuping
"Cheng Weiping could die at any time. Should we notify Li Shuping now?"
"Although their relationship deteriorated and Li Shuping was extremely disappointed with her son and eventually left the country, Cheng Weiping is still her son after all!"
"I think no matter what, I still need to call Li Shuping and let her know about this matter. As for whether she comes or not, it's her own business."
The village cadres finally reached a consensus after discussion.
Li Shuping is a warm-hearted person with good relationships with people. When she left the village, she was afraid that something might happen to her house, so she followed up with the village cadres by phone.
She left a phone number of a nearby public telephone booth and asked them to inform her of the latest news about house demolitions if there were any demolition projects in the village.
Li Shuping originally thought that people in the village would rarely call her, so she didn't have to worry about these problems at all.
But she didn't expect that someone would call her just a few months after she left.
Fortunately, work has not officially started yet and I am still doing some preparatory work, so I can spare some time to answer the phone.
She went to the phone booth with doubts and quickly answered the call.
The anxious voice of the village cadre came from the other end of the phone.
"Shuping, your son is dying! Please come back and check on him!"
Son? Li Shuping repeated this question to herself before she suddenly realized what was going on.
Could the son that the village cadre was referring to be her youngest son Cheng Weiping?
After all, her eldest son Cheng Weihua has always been by her side, busy with her every day and never stops working.
She had just explained the work to her sons before she left, so the eldest son would definitely be fine.
"Are you talking about Cheng Weiping? That bastard thought I had no use because my leg was broken, so he severed the mother-son relationship with me a long time ago."
"His affairs have nothing to do with me now, so you don't have to call me."
Li Shuping wanted to hang up the phone as she spoke, but for some reason she still felt a dull pain in her heart.
No matter how much Cheng Weiping did to hurt her, he was still her son after ten months of pregnancy.
She had felt sad before when she heard that he was going to break his leg, but not as sad as she was now.
Now that she heard that he was going to die, her heart ached for no reason.
Although he wanted to hang up the phone, he stopped involuntarily when he heard the village cadres' urgent call.
"Li Shuping, this time it's real!"
"Cheng Weiping went up the mountain to look for food. On his way back, he had a conflict with villagers. He then suddenly collapsed, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over."
"Because his condition was urgent, he couldn't be sent to a large hospital, so he had to be treated at a health center."
"His current condition is not optimistic. His life may be in danger at any time. No matter what hatred you have before, when it comes to matters of life and death, you should not care too much."
"No matter how many wrong things Cheng Weiping has done, he is now at the end of his life. No matter what, you should come back to take a look. At least someone should help take care of his funeral affairs."
The village cadres took turns to persuade her, but Li Shuping just held the microphone and fell into a long silence.
She was torn between herself and her conscience, and the words of refusal were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
After a long time, her dry voice finally sounded.
"Let me think about it. Thank you for calling to inform me of this matter."
After saying this, Li Shuping hung up the phone and then stood there lost in thought.
Li Shuping hasn't felt so helpless for a long time. She is now undecided as to whether she should go back to check on him.
She knew that her eldest son was soft-hearted and would probably be eager to go back if he knew about this.
If he goes back, all of Cheng Weiping's problems will probably be blamed on him, and he won't be able to bear it.
So the best way is for him to go back by himself, but she doesn't dare to go to that place alone.
Although I have lived in the village for so many years and am familiar with everything there, after being away for so long, I can't help but feel nervous when I think about going back.
Li Shuping was still thinking, but the people behind her couldn't help but urge her.
"Just get out of the way when you're done with your call. What have you been doing here? Aren't you going to let others make calls?"
Li Shuping was pushed because she was in a daze.
She stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Li Shuping quickly held onto the wall and managed to stabilize herself.
She originally wanted to call Jiang Wan, but now that she was pushed away, she felt so confused that she didn't even have the heart to call.
After she hung up the phone, she was in a trance and unknowingly walked downstairs to Jiang Wan's magazine office.
She raised her head and took a look. She was originally thinking of turning around and leaving, but she didn't expect Jiang Wan to come downstairs at this time.
She happened to see the distraught Li Shuping, and quickly chased after her and called her.
"Aunt Li, are you here to see me?"
"You don't look very well mentally. Did something happen at home?"
Jiang Wan grabbed Aunt Li's arm and spoke to her, which brought her back to her senses.
"I, I'm fine."
Li Shuping explained in a panic. She usually spoke very fluently, but now she was stuttering and looked very unnatural.
"Aunt Li, even if you have something wrong, you don't tell me because you don't trust me?"
"You've always said that you treat me like your own daughter. Now that you've come to me, can't you just tell me what's going on?"
With Jiang Wan's persuasion, Li Shuping's mental state recovered a little.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally uttered a sentence with great difficulty.
"Home, something happened at home, I'm thinking about going back."
"What happened? Tell me and I'll analyze it for you."
Jiang Wan quickly took over the conversation, not giving her a chance to back off.
"That's right, something happened to Cheng Weiping."
Li Shuping felt a little upset when talking about this matter.
Before I left, I said I had cut off ties with Cheng Weiping, but now when I encounter things related to him, I still can't help but worry about him.
"What happened to Cheng Weiping? Big or small?"
Jiang Wan had already guessed in his heart that this matter must be no small matter, otherwise Aunt Li would definitely not be so embarrassed.
Now seeing her conflicted look, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's a big deal. The village cadres called and said he had a serious health problem and was about to die."
Li Shuping gradually recovered and recounted the entire story from beginning to end. At the end, her emotions became unstable again and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
Jiang Wan listened to him quietly and nodded after listening.
"Aunt, I know everything you said."
"Although you have severed your relationship with Cheng Weiping, no matter what, he is still your son who you carried for ten months."
"If you really didn't care about him, you wouldn't be feeling so bad right now, and you wouldn't be so conflicted."
"So you should follow your heart and go back to check the situation."
