Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 512: 197, Shanhe, are you satisfied with my arrangements? _1

The family banquet lasted a long time. Lin Mo and the others were drinking wine, chatting, and venting all the grievances and words they had wanted to say over the years.

They laughed and cried, cried and laughed, and after several hours of this, they finally helped each other back to their own rooms.

Lin Mo seldom drank alcohol before, and his tolerance could only be considered average, but today he also drank nearly a catty of white liquor. By the time he returned to his room, he didn’t even care to take off his clothes and plunged straight into the warm bed.

Li Jinwen drank less and was still able to maintain a semblance of soberness.

She walked to the bed and saw Lin Mo like this, her eyes already red, couldn’t help but shed a few more tears.

Only she had witnessed the bulk of her husband’s hardships and shared the greatest joys regarding Lin Mo.

From the first time earning tens of thousands by selling raincoats at a concert at home to picking up over a million worth of Antique Copper Coins for a small cost, to the later incident of the whole family being hospitalized…

This journey had truly not been easy.

“Everything is in the past.”

“Today is a day of celebration. Husband was right just now, you should smile more, no crying, can’t cry anymore.”

Li Jinwen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, walked to the bed, and slowly squatted down, took off Lin Mo’s shoes, and then carefully removed his socks.

Her motions were gentle, as if fearing she would wake her most precious treasure.

When she was about to remove Lin Mo’s shirt, she ended up waking him.

Lin Mo looked at Li Jinwen, who was close at hand, and his mouth couldn’t help but curve up slightly. His hands gently rested on Li Jinwen’s shoulders and he softly pulled her into his embrace.

The strength he used wasn’t too great, but given he was in a drunken state, for Li Jinwen, it was somewhat forceful.

Caught off guard, she lost her balance, and her body heavily pressed against Lin Mo.

“Husband, let go of me first, I’ll help you take off your clothes.” Li Jinwen struggled a bit, but she couldn’t free herself at all.

In a slurred voice, Lin Mo said, “Wife… these years… you’ve worked hard!”

“If it weren’t for you and the children’s support, I might not have made it to today!”

“It’s… so hard…”

Listening to her husband’s murmurs, Li Jinwen stopped struggling, gently patted his chest, and comforted, “It’s all over, everything is past.”

“You did great, everyone at home is proud of you. We aren’t suffering; it’s you who suffered the most!”

After speaking, two hot bodies embraced tightly, quietly listening to each other’s heartbeats.

They had so much to say to each other, perhaps too much to ever finish in this lifetime.

Outside the window, a full moon hung in the sky, while the stars seemed to record this beautiful scene.

…..

The next day, early morning.

When Lin Mo woke up, he felt parched and his head throbbed in pain.

The feeling of a hangover was unbearable, especially for someone like Lin Mo who didn’t often drink.

“Husband, you’re awake!”

Li Jinwen heard the noise from the bedroom and hurried out of the bathroom. She picked up a bottle of low alcohol content white liquor from the shelf, poured a small cup, and said, “Dad came by in the morning. He said that once you wake up, you should have another sip of liquor and your head won’t hurt anymore.”

“He called it ‘letting it pass through.’

Huh?

Is there such a saying?

Lin Mo rarely drank, of course, he wasn’t familiar with these things and subconsciously found the idea a bit far-fetched.

Who has ever heard of curing a hangover by drinking more alcohol the next day?

Lin Mo yawned, rubbing his temples, and asked, “If it’s dad who said it, if it’s my dad, then definitely don’t believe it.”

“I remember when I was a kid, one of his co-workers had an accident, a finger was cut off, dad being warm-hearted, insisted that the severed finger should be preserved in white liquor because there were no bacteria, and it would be easier to reattach at the hospital.”

“Everyone was swayed by him and actually found a bottle of high-proof white liquor.”

“Luckily, their supervisor was an old guy with a civil engineering background and knew some basic medical knowledge. He quickly intervened, first wrapping the severed finger in a clean towel, then he put some ice cubes from the fridge around the towel before sending it to the hospital.”

“Dad was not convinced back then, saying the young man’s method wouldn’t work, but at the hospital he was scolded by the doctor!”

“The doctor said that the towel and ice cubes were the best method. If they’d actually placed it in high concentration alcohol, that finger would have been ruined!”

As Li Jinwen listened to Lin Mo’s explanation, she couldn’t help but chuckle and asked, “So what happened later, was the finger reattached? What reaction did dad have?”

Lin Mo sat up in bed, still massaging his throbbing head, and said, “What else could he say? He honestly admitted his mistake and under the doctor’s guidance, he bought a few medical books on common injury treatments and said he would go back and study hard to avoid making the same mistakes again.”

“After that, whenever there was an accident, no matter whether he was right or wrong, nobody dared listen. As for that co-worker with the severed finger, he recovered well. The finger was successfully reattached without much impact. He was lively as ever and didn’t even blame dad, only occasionally sighing in bed, wishing it had been the thumb instead.”

“If it had been the thumb, he said, his son’s wedding house would have been sorted.”

“With just a little finger gone, he suffered the pain but didn’t get much in compensation.”

Li Jinwen handed Lin Mo the glass of about 50 milliliters of white liquor and said with a smile, “I never imagined dad had such a dark history, but don’t worry, the one who said you should ‘let it pass through’ is your father-in-law.”
