Chapter 146 is too difficult!
The next day, Phoenix Hall Alley.
The sun, still setting in the east of the city, returned from outside.
Judging from the drinks in Yu Hui's hand, these two probably went to the convenience store again.
I just wonder where Sung Dong-il hides his secret stash of money~
Passing by A-Ze's shop, Sung Dong-il was surprised to find that Choi Moo-sung, who hadn't returned for several days, had opened the shop door.
Cheng Dongri happily took a few quick steps and ran towards the shop.
"Phoenix Hall! You're back!" Cheng Dongri's beaming expression made Cui Wusheng, who was sitting in the shop in a daze, unable to help but smile and greet him.
"Later tonight! Tsk! Let's have a drink~" Sung Dong-il saw him sitting alone in a daze and made a drinking gesture.
Choi Moo-sung nodded helplessly.
There's just no way to deal with this drunkard!

"Uncle Cui," Liu Shuyu greeted politely as he opened the door.
"Oh~ Shuyu!"
"Aze isn't here."
Cui Wusheng smiled and said to him.
“I’m not here to see Aze,” Liu Shuyu said, looking at him.
"Huh? Then what about you?" Cui Wusheng was completely baffled.
"I'm here to see you." Liu Shuyu didn't want to waste too much time.
He had been waiting for Choi Moo-sung to return ever since he learned that Choi Moo-sung had gone to the funeral.
I hope nothing bad happens to Aze's father after he returns!
Otherwise, how would Aze, who is already introverted, survive?
"Hehe~ Oh! Is there anything I can help you with?" Cui Wusheng thought for a moment and then asked him.
“I’ve heard from Aze that you have high blood pressure,” Liu Shuyu said, getting straight to the point.
"Oh? Yes, did Aze mention this too? Hehe~" Cui Wusheng said embarrassedly.
"I've brought you some medicine, a very effective one, to treat high blood pressure." Liu Shuyu took the medicine out of his bag and placed it on the table.
"Oh! No need~ I haven't eaten and it's fine~ Don't worry about me~" Cui Wusheng hadn't expected this.
He came for himself.
"Uncle, you are an adult, and I shouldn't be saying this to you, but I still want to give you some advice."
"You can't only have eyes for Aze."
"Only by taking good care of your health can Aze feel at ease playing chess with others outside."
Seeing that he still didn't care about his health, Liu Shuyu had no choice but to persuade him to stop.
"Thank you, Shuyu, I understand," Cui Wusheng replied.
But Liu Shuyu couldn't see any change in his eyes; it was as if he had only agreed to it to put his mind at ease.
Just like how he comforted Aze~
"Sigh~" Liu Shuyu sighed inwardly.
Choi Moo-sung's lifeless heart is not so easy to awaken.
Fortunately, I had already made two preparations. The hospital had received my notification and all staff were on standby to receive the patient.
It seems I have to let him go through this ordeal. With me protecting him, there's no danger. I'd rather he go through it.
It would be even more dangerous if he were to develop symptoms without his knowledge one day.
Let's just do it quietly for him, like Zhengfeng did.
We, the youth of the new era, must do good deeds anonymously!
.........
Deok-sun's House
The couple, who had just finished work, sat in front of the TV with Yu Hui.
Yu Hui and her mother are picking bean sprouts.
Cheng Dongri faced the television, but his eyes were secretly watching his wife picking bean sprouts. He felt that compared to his wife, he had nothing to do and was feeling empty. Feeling somewhat insecure, he reached to the side and picked up an ornamental stone to wipe it.
My hand trembled so much when I touched the ornamental stone that I almost dropped it.
They're clearly acting out of a guilty conscience.
"Wow, it's already Sunday!"
"I don't know how time flies!"
"Um, honey, I'm going out for a bit."
"After you finish dinner, go to sleep."
After a couple of lines of foreshadowing, Cheng Dongri finally revealed his true intentions.
"Are you going out for drinks?" Li Yihua looked at him and asked without thinking.
"Oh dear! The alcohol isn't the point!"
"Didn't our friend from Phoenix Hall suddenly die?"
"So I went to comfort her a little bit~"
"It's not just about drinking~"
Sung Dong-il explained, word by word, his words filled with concern for Choi Moo-sung.
"Look at these excuses you've come up with!"
"You really know how to make excuses."
"Why do you have a different reason for drinking every day?"
"Could this be considered a skill?"
Lee Il-hwa teased Sung Dong-il, looking at him with a hint of mockery.
"Oh dear~ Today I really, really, sincerely want to comfort Phoenix Hall!"
"I'll just have one drink and be right back."
"So you guys should finish your meal early and go to bed!"
Cheng Dongri deftly put down the stone and quickly got up.
"Yu Hui, please help Mom pick the vegetables more!"
"Oh, how heartbroken he must be!"
"My best friend~"
Cheng Dongri, looking 'painful' and 'uncomfortable', grabbed his clothes, pushed open the door, and went out.
"Take care, Dad~" Yu Hui greeted her father, who was noticeably quickening his pace.
Lee Il-hwa watched his one-man show quietly, finding it both funny and infuriating.
.......
Cheng Dongri ran happily toward the "Phoenix Hall" shop in the alley. His pain in the room had vanished, replaced by excitement. But when he got to the shop, he was stunned.
"Oh dear! Phoenix Hall!"
"Phoenix Hall!"
"Daddy Aze!"
Looking at the brightly lit shop, but with no one there, Sung Dong-il scratched his head, looking puzzled.
I called out several times as I walked from the shop to the room, but there was still no response.
"Oh my! Is it really that serious? It's just a few drinks, why are you all hiding?"
Cheng Dongri muttered to himself in silence.
In the end, all they could do was helplessly turn off the lights and draw the curtains for Cui Wusheng.
He walked onto the street and looked at Cui Wusheng's house with a resentful expression.
I finally got my wife's permission to go out for drinks, and she stood me up!
"Hey! On to Shuyu's house! Hehe~~ Shuyu! Uncle's here~~"
Undeterred, Cheng Dongri excitedly ran to Liu Shuyu's house again.
"Shuyu! Shuyu!"
"Bang bang bang~~"
There was no response to the loud knocking.
Cheng Dongri looked through the crack in the gate and saw that the car was gone.
The lights upstairs were also off...
"Seriously, is it easy for me to come out for a drink?"
"Why are none of them here?"
"Oh my god~~ This is so hard~~"
Sung Dong-il couldn't help but shout to the sky.
"Papa Paula, what's wrong?" Ms. Leopard happened to come out and saw Sung Dong-il howling at the sky. "What's too difficult?"
"Yu Hui's homework is too hard~ too hard~~ I can't do it~~~" Cheng Dongri roared to the sky, his face full of resentment and the tears of grievance in his eyes made even Ms. Leopard take a sidelong look.
(Snowflakes are falling~ The north wind is howling~)
Huh? Where did that background music come from?
Ms. Leopard: Sigh~! Another one driven crazy by her child's studies...
........
In the hospital
Cui Wusheng has already completed his surgery and is lying in his hospital bed. This time, they took the opportunity to help him recover; he'll probably live a long and healthy life without any major illnesses.
Looking at Cui Wusheng lying on the hospital bed, Liu Shuyu sighed.
They're so stubborn; they won't appreciate their lives until they've endured this hardship.
Such a good person, yet he was always unable to extricate himself from the grief of his wife's death.
They can be kind to others, but not to themselves.
"Ah Qiu~ Ah Qiu~"
Liu Shuyu touched his nose. "What happened? With my physical condition, how could I catch a cold?"
