Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 533 - 536 Decided

Liu Ergou then summoned the True Qi within his body, channeling it through the silver needle and into Feng Chunling.

A moment later, he withdrew the silver needle.

"All done, Auntie. Try speaking. Your voice shouldn't be hoarse anymore."

Upon hearing Liu Ergou's words, Feng Chunling was clearly skeptical. Although a hoarse throat was a minor ailment, minor issues were often the most troublesome. A recovery this quick was clearly impossible.

With this in mind, Feng Chunling began to speak, "Ergou, I appreciate the kind thought, but..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized her throat had indeed recovered. It wasn't hoarse at all and felt just as it had before.

Liu Ergou's medical skill is simply unbelievable!

Just as Feng Chunling was about to praise his abilities, Liu Ergou cut her off.

"Alright, Auntie. Given our relationship, let's skip the pleasantries. You should tell me what exactly happened to Yang Mei's dad. How could a healthy man just be gone like that? It's too bizarre."

His words immediately cast a somber pall over the room. Yang Mei, who had just stopped crying, began to sob softly again.

Feng Chunling, however, did not cry. Instead, she began to explain what had happened to Liu Ergou.

"Sigh, I'm not too clear on the specifics myself. I just got a call from the city today. They told me Yang Mei's dad had died and was already cremated, and that I needed to go handle the paperwork."

At this, Feng Chunling heaved a long sigh.

"Sigh, honestly, I really don't know what to do. Ergou, could you come with me?"

Upon hearing this, a troubled expression crossed Liu Ergou's face. He had just gotten back, and now, not even an hour later, he had to leave again. It was all happening too fast.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Liu Ergou eventually nodded.

"Alright, Auntie, I'll go with you two."

He had no choice. Feng Chunling was his woman, and he couldn't let her down in a crisis.

Seeing Liu Ergou agree, Feng Chunling was deeply moved and immediately stepped forward to give him a big hug. Under normal circumstances, Liu Ergou would have definitely swept her up and carried her into the bedroom, but the current situation made that impossible.

Liu Ergou could only gently pat her on the shoulder. He then went back to his home to let his sister-in-law and Liu Yunxi know he was leaving before leading the mother and daughter to his car.

When Feng Chunling and her daughter saw Liu Ergou's car, they both looked shocked. But despite their surprise, the current situation left no time for idle chatter. Seeing that Liu Ergou had a car, Feng Chunling didn't dawdle. She quickly took Yang Mei home to pack a few things, then got into his car, and they headed straight for the city.

On the way, Liu Ergou asked with some confusion, "Auntie, could you tell me exactly what happened? How could a perfectly healthy man just be gone? Didn't the police tell you how Yang Mei's dad died?"

Liu Ergou's question caused Feng Chunling to sigh deeply.

"Sigh, a couple of days ago I got a call out of the blue, telling me Yang Mei's dad was dead. At first, I thought it was a scam, so I didn't pay it any mind. It wasn't until yesterday, when the police came to see me, that I realized it was all true."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded, mentally commending Feng Chunling for her fraud awareness.

Feng Chunling continued, "The police told me that Yang Mei's dad died at the construction site. He was hit by scaffolding because he wasn't following proper procedures. Other than that, I don't know anything."

After learning these details, Liu Ergou couldn't help but sigh as well.

At that moment, only one thought occupied his mind. Human life is so fragile. It can vanish in an instant, leaving you no time to react.

But honestly, his death is a good thing for me. It sounds immoral, but it's the truth. With Yang Mei's dad gone, it'll be much more convenient for me to be with Feng Chunling and Yang Mei. There'll be far fewer complications.

Of course, I can't be thinking about this right now, Liu Ergou reminded himself. You have to respect the dead. I'm not that heartless.

Just then, a thought occurred to him. He turned his head and asked, "Right, Auntie, since the accident happened at the construction site and he was killed by scaffolding, the site has to compensate you, right? I mean... you get what I'm saying?"

Liu Ergou had wanted to ask how much money the site had given her, but halfway through, he felt he was being too blunt, as if he were eyeing the compensation money himself. So, he altered his wording at the last second.

His question caught Feng Chunling off guard. About ten seconds later, she finally spoke. "Compensation... the police officer relayed what the site manager said. Setting up the scaffolding was Yang Mei's dad's job, but he cut corners and didn't follow procedure, which is why the scaffolding collapsed. Because of that, they won't provide any compensation. However, the site manager did say that he was willing to offer 50,000 yuan as a humanitarian gesture."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou's expression instantly darkened.

"Auntie?! Are you sure you heard that correctly?"

Feng Chunling nodded vigorously. "I'm sure! At a time like this, how could I possibly mishear? I'd have to be crazy to get something like that wrong now!"

After confirming that Feng Chunling hadn't misheard, Liu Ergou's face grew even grimmer.

"That construction site manager is a real piece of work! They have to compensate you since the accident happened on their site, but instead, they wash their hands of it completely, then pop up acting like saints talking about 'humanitarian gestures'! How shameless!"

Liu Ergou was fuming. The company's actions were utterly disgusting.

Thinking of this, he looked at Feng Chunling with a serious expression. "Auntie, we may not have gotten along in the past, but we're still neighbors. A close neighbor is better than a distant relative. I'll take care of this matter with Yang Mei's dad."

After saying this, Liu Ergou focused on driving.

「A few hours later, the three of them finally arrived in the city.」

They drove straight to the police station. Upon their arrival, an officer received them and led them to the room where the ashes were stored.

The officer handed the ashes of Yang Mei's father to them. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Normally," he said, "you would have collected the body yourselves to handle the subsequent arrangements."
