Chapter 1058: Chapter 1040: Playing the Lute to a Cow Chapter 1058: Chapter 1040: Playing the Lute to a Cow And upon hearing the voice of her loved one, Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but shed tears.

“Dad, I’m fine,” Gu Ning was fine too.

She sniffled and brought the phone closer to Gu Ning, allowing them to converse in such a way that Tang Zhinian on the other end knew everything that was being said.

“Are you injured at all?”
Upon hearing that his daughter was unharmed, Tang Zhinian’s suspended heart finally settled, and from Tang Yuxin’s voice, he could tell she must be alright.

“No, Dad, I’m not injured, and neither is Gu Ning,” Tang Yuxin said, and after speaking, she handed the phone to Gu Ning because she was unable to say any more.

Gu Ning took the phone and comforted Tang Yuxin by patting her back.

The two of them only had each other’s company; without it, lacking this warmth, how would they have gotten through these days?

Gu Ning was much calmer than Tang Yuxin.

He generally described their current environment to Tang Zhinian, also mentioning that they weren’t short of food and drink because Tang Yuxin had stocked up on quite a bit, originally intending to send some back home.

Now, those supplies proved extremely useful.

They weren’t lacking in food or drink and were now back in this little villa, which was currently safe and they were waiting for rescue workers to arrive.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Zhinian wiped his tears.

He hurriedly got out of the hospital bed, intending to go back home.

“Zhinian, what are you doing?”
When Ren Li walked in, she saw Tang Zhinian, with his bare feet, wearing a hospital gown, all set to rush out.

What was going on?

Didn’t he have any sense of his current condition, not to mention how he looked?

If he kept acting so recklessly, did he want to leave her a widow?

I have to go back.

Tang Zhinian was adamant about needing to return, insisting it was essential.

“You can’t go back.”
Ren Li pushed him back to the hospital bed, “If you keep troubling me, I’ll take a kitchen knife to your hooves and I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life.”
“Li, what are you doing, stop messing around?”
Tang Zhinian was completely taken aback by Ren Li’s words.

He hadn’t done anything.

He hadn’t caused any trouble; he intended to go back for a serious matter.

“You don’t mess around, and I won’t either.”
Ren Wei said, her eyes reddening, her face turning a flush red, “What else can I do?

Yuxin and Gu Ning are out of contact right now, and look at the state you’re in.

If anything happens to you, what am I to do with Chengcheng, and what about Xiaobai and Dabai?

Xiaobai and Dabai haven’t seen their grandpa and refused to eat today.”
It was then Tang Zhinian remembered his two grandsons.

Hearing that his grandsons hadn’t eaten, he felt so guilty he almost wanted to kill himself.

What had happened to him, how could he have forgotten Xiaobai and Dabai?

They were used to seeing their grandpa every day, but their grandpa had forgotten them.

No, he had to go back.

He had to pick up his two grandsons and take them home.

They couldn’t stay at the kindergarten any longer, not with earthquakes and all the dangers outside.

“You sit down!”
Ren Li really wanted to kick Tang Zhinian, “How old are you to still be so reckless and irresponsible?”
“Li, I’m really okay.”
Tang Zhinian just couldn’t articulate himself clearly.

“Don’t you dare leave!” Ren Li grabbed a cup from the table, slammed it down, “Tang Zhinian, if you dare leave this hospital, I’ll chop your hooves off.”
Unable to argue with Ren Li, Tang Zhinian looked down at his feet and quickly withdrew them, obediently running back to the hospital bed.

He pulled up the blanket to cover his feet, truly afraid that Ren Li might lose it and actually go through with her threat.

After so many years of marriage, Tang Zhinian understood what kind of person Ren Li was.

She could be wildly impulsive, and even he feared her sometimes.

“Li, can you take the two kids back?”
Tang Zhinian was discussing it with Ren Li.

“Why bring them back?

Aren’t you afraid of chaos?”
Was Ren Li really considering grabbing a kitchen knife?

“Isn’t there an earthquake?”
Tang Zhinian pointed outside, “A big earthquake, it’s dangerous.”
Ren Li really didn’t even want to roll her eyes anymore; she would go to the doctor later to have Tang Zhinian’s head checked.

Could it be that his brain was damaged?

“Li…”
Tang Zhinian reached out and tugged at Ren Li’s sleeve.

“Zhinian.”
Ren Li stepped forward and suddenly held Tang Zhinian’s hand tightly, “Why are you like this?

Yuxin is just out of touch right now, it doesn’t mean something really happened to her.

Having no news is also the best news.

Don’t scare yourself, okay?”
“I…”
Tang Zhinian just wanted to speak, but Ren Li interrupted him.

“Zhinian, we need to keep ourselves together and wait for Yuxin to come back.

Don’t fall apart before she returns.”
“I’m not…”
“Don’t worry, Yuxin will be fine, right?

She still has so many lives to save; heaven won’t let her die so easily.”
“I…”
“What is it now?”
Ren Li was almost crying out of frustration.

Had all her words been wasted, like playing the lute to a cow?

No, it was like casting pearls before swine.

Tang Zhinian was stunned by Ren Li’s scolding, her spittle even splashing across his face.

Tang Zhinian held back and waited for Ren Li to finish scolding before speaking.

He knew Ren had to get these words out, or else she would keep it bottled up inside, which would lead to her breaking down first.

Suddenly, Tang Zhinian felt sorry for Ren Li.

With such a crisis at home, he, as a man, had managed to get sick, leaving all the household responsibilities to Ren Li.

As a man, these should have been his duties, but he had dumped them all on Ren Li.

He really shouldn’t have, and he was utterly disgraceful.

After Ren Li finished her tirade, she finally felt a bit more relieved and was able to let off some steam.

Otherwise, she would have suffocated from keeping all these words to herself.

“Feeling any better?”
Tang Zhinian quickly grabbed a cup and placed it in front of Ren Li.

The cup had water in it, still warmaEUR”he hadn’t drunk from it.

He had wanted to add some hot water for Ren Li, but he didn’t dare move; he was afraid that if he did, Ren Li would go get a kitchen knife and come back to chop off his pig’s trotters.

Knowing that his daughter and son-in-law were safe, his intelligence returned, and of course, his blood pressure improved.

No longer did he feel dizzy or headachy, and his thoughts were clear, allowing him to make the most appropriate decisions and responses.
