Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 148 Introverted Big Boy

office

"Your father is fine. He should rest for a while, about a week, and then he can go home."

"Most stroke patients only face serious life-threatening situations if they are brought to the hospital too late."

"Like your father, the delivery was very timely, right in the golden time frame!"

Don't worry too much~

The doctor looked at Aze in front of him and said with a smile.

"That's good~"

Aze breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, doctor!"

"Um... Choi Taek, 6th Dan..." The doctor's hesitant expression made A-Taek's heart leap again.

"Could you please sign this for me?" the doctor said shyly, handing him a pen and paper.

"Oh! Hehe~ No problem~" Aze was startled by him, gave an awkward laugh, and took the paper and pen to sign his name.

......

In the ward, everyone had gone home, leaving only Aze sitting by the bedside watching his father.

Choi Moo-sung felt uneasy under A-Taek's gaze and avoided his eyes.

"Dad's okay~"

"Nothing's wrong~"

"They said if it hadn't been discovered in time, Dad, you would have almost died!"

Aze gets flustered when he's worried; he only sees the danger.

"It's not that exaggerated~ Hehe~" Cui Wusheng smiled embarrassedly.

"I almost became an orphan." Aze's face still showed worry, without any sign of relief.

Seeing Aze's worried expression, Choi Moo-sung also stopped smiling.

"Dad won't leave easily, he won't leave you behind, you brat."

"Stop overthinking it~"

"Just focus on your own thing!"

Seeing Aze's worried expression, Cui Wusheng assured him.

"Dad, let's find a caregiver to take care of you." Aze knew that his father, like him, didn't like to interact with strangers, but he still suggested it so that his father could recover properly.

"Oh dear, your arms and legs are perfectly fine!"

"Why would I need to look for that? I can take care of myself."

Choi Moo-sung rejected A-taek's suggestion.

"I'm going to China this week."

"I'm not even there for you. If you don't hire a caregiver, what are you going to do?"

Aze argued with his father.

"These aunties come every day—even the caregivers aren't as reliable as them!"

"It's okay~"

When Cui Wusheng mentioned the neighbors, Aze felt somewhat relieved.

"By the way, what will you do over there?"

"Didn't Minister Li from the Chess Academy say he couldn't go this time?"

"Then this time, I'll have to go to China with you again."

Choi Moo-sung recalled that when A-Ze went to compete in other countries, it was always Minister Lee or he himself who went.

The thought of it made me want to accompany him to the competition without even getting out of my hospital bed.

"It's alright, Dad, you're already like this, why are you still going?"

"I can handle it myself."

"And I also had an assistant with me."

Cui Wusheng looked at Aze and said with concern, as if he didn't care about his own business.

"Then you still need someone to take care of you!"

Aze looked at his father, who was lying in the hospital bed, with a hint of annoyance.

You should take care of yourself first.

Aze gently covered him with the blanket.

"Patient's family member, come and pay the fees." The nurse gently pushed open the door.

“Okay~” Aze nodded to the nurse.

Looking back at his father, Aze sighed with worry and got up to leave.

Looking at his son's worried eyes, Cui Wusheng couldn't help but regret not taking better care of his own health.

It's become a burden on the children again...

He, who loved his son the most, never imagined that the person who would have the greatest influence on Aze would always be himself, the father...

.........

Deok-sun's House

Deok-sun's mother is filling a food container with rice.

Ms. Leopard came in carrying a can wrapped in cloth.

"When are we going to the hospital?" The voice preceded her arrival.

"We're about to set off."

"what is this?"

Li Yihua asked curiously.

"Plain porridge~ I'm afraid he won't be able to eat anything greasy." Ms. Leopard handed her the jar. "Go ahead and get ready, Shuyu is already waiting at the door."

"Okay, sure." Li Yihua packed the things.

"When it's my turn to go check on him, I'll get him some yellow croaker," Ms. Leopard said, watching the busy Li Yihua. "I'll get him some seafood to nourish him."

"Aigoo~ Our eldest brother is going to enjoy life~" Li Yihua said with a smile.

"By the way! I don't think Aze's dad has hired a caregiver, right?" Ms. Leopard asked.

"No! It's impossible to find him, you know him too~"

"Oh my, I wonder where he's going to spend all that money."

"They won't even hire a caregiver. We can bring them some food, but how are they supposed to take them to shower and use the toilet?"

Li Yihua couldn't help but complain about him.

"He's used to living alone, and like Aze, he's afraid of strangers."

"It's okay, Aze goes there often too~"

"Shuyu has already given instructions, and the nurses at the hospital will be extra careful."

"Don't worry."

Ms. Leopard also knew that Cui Wusheng and his son were two of the same kind.

Two introverted boys~

"Wow, the food looks delicious!"

Ms. Leopard looked into the bowl, picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and nodded in satisfaction.

"They're all just ordinary home-style dishes."

Lee Il-hwa smiled shyly.

........

In the shop

Shanying sat in her seat, watching Liu Shuyu waiting for Li Yihua in the alley.

"Ah~"

I couldn't help but sigh. We'd already taken on such a huge favor, and this extra 60 yuan a month was a godsend!

How could I possibly tell Liu Shuyu?

But even if it's auctioned off now, I can barely make ends meet by renting a place.

The money they could have saved has instead become rent for someone else, and the family is about to lose the home they've lived in for so long...

Just when we were seeing a glimmer of hope, disaster struck.

Fate plays tricks on people~

Sun-young shook her head, clearing her mind of the thoughts, picked up a phone book filled with rental information, and dialed the shop's phone number one by one.

........

In the alley, Liu Shuyu, who was waiting for Li Yihua, finally saw the two people coming out.

"Shuyu~ I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting~" Li Yihua greeted him with a smile.

"No~" Liu Shuyu replied, opening the trunk and letting the two of them put their things down.

"Shuyu, let's go~ I can't wait to see Phoenix Hall~" Cheng Dongri jumped into the passenger seat.

"Then I'll trouble you~" Li Yihua said politely as always.

"Hey! Honey, get in the car quickly!" Cheng Dongri shouted, sticking his head out.

Li Yihua looked at her husband speechlessly; he really was...

"No trouble at all~ No trouble at all~ Please get in the car, Aze and his dad are waiting for Auntie's delicious cooking~" Liu Shuyu opened the car door for her.

Upon hearing this, Li Yihua happily got into the car, smiling throughout the entire journey.

The more I look at Liu Shuyu, the more satisfied I become.

He's eloquent, respectful to elders, and handsome and wealthy!

Li Yihua's inner monologue: Aigoo~ I wish he were my son-in-law~

...

When the car reached the entrance of the alley, Liu Shuyu stopped the car.

"I'm going to the store to get some fruit, uncle and aunt, please wait a moment."

Liu Shuyu greeted him.

"Great! Daddy Aze is so lucky~" Li Yihua looked at Liu Shuyu and couldn't help but sigh, "Daddy Aze keeps feeding us yellow croaker and fruit~"

It's only the first day since the fast was lifted, and so many neighbors are already showing concern!

As Liu Shuyu walked to the store entrance, he heard Shanying making a phone call inside.

"Oh, you have a place to rent, right?"

"Is there anyone who can get as close as possible to Ssangmun-dong?"

"Oh~ That's it."

"Okay then~"

After hanging up the phone, Shan Ying finally saw Liu Shuyu.

"Oh my~ Seowoo~ are you here to inspect Auntie's work?" Seonyoung joked with a smile, showing no trace of the worry she had when she called earlier.

But Liu Shuyu saw it all, and then he realized that he had been so focused on remembering those important events that he had almost forgotten about the auction of Shanying's mother's house!

Let's figure something out when we get back. This isn't that urgent; we have plenty of time.

"No, Auntie, could you please get me a bag to put some fruit in? I'm going to the hospital." Liu Shuyu asked.

"Oh! We're going to see Taek's dad! Okay, okay~" Sunyoung skillfully picked up the bag and put the items in one by one.

"Wow, brother, you're so lucky!"

"It's all thanks to you, Shuyu! You found him in time and took care of him!"

"Really~ You must be exhausted lately?" Sun-young packed some fruit and handed the bag to Yoo Seo-woo, showing her concern for him.

"It's okay~ I don't have much to do during my vacation~ I just take the aunties to the hospital every day~ It's no trouble at all~" Liu Shuyu took the bag and waved goodbye to her.

"Hey~ Seo-woo~ Be careful on the road~" Seon-young chased after him and reminded him.

"Okay, okay!" Cheng Dongri, who had heard Shan Ying's instructions from the passenger seat, replied on behalf of Liu Shuyu.

Liu Shuyu turned around and nodded with a smile.

"Big sister~! I'll be on duty tomorrow~ Please take care of Aze's dad today~" Sun-young called out to Lee Il-hwa, who was smiling behind her.

“Okay~ Sunwoo’s mom, you can go back now~” Lee Il-hwa nodded and shouted loudly to her.

The car slowly drove away from Fenghuangtang Hutong. Standing at the door, Shanying watched the car drive further and further away, sighed with a pout, and turned back to continue making phone calls one by one to inquire.
