Chapter 26 We Are Not a Family
Fatty now lived in the old Liu Family residence, a dwelling with quite a few years on it, with no one else living nearby, only this one family within a kilometer radius.
Although the house contained some furniture, it was all very old.
Once inside, Fatty fumbled about, lighting a candle, inviting Su Yang to take a seat.
"Please wait a moment, I need to go and change my mother’s urine bag," Fatty said with an embarrassed smile, before entering the inner room.
Su Yang walked to the doorway; the room was pitch-dark and filled with a pungent smell. On the bed lay a woman, her body covered in severe scars, a truly horrifying sight.

Su Yang felt a surge of sorrow. This woman was Fatty’s mother, who had once been a very kind and beautiful lady, and had treated Su Yang extremely well. Yet now, she was reduced to this state, confined to a hospital bed, clinging to life.
"These last two years, my mom’s condition has improved quite a lot," Fatty hurried to reassure Su Yang after seeing his mood: "I think, before long, she might just wake up!"
Su Yang stepped into the room, speaking softly, "Let me take a look."
"It’s okay, I can handle it myself," Fatty replied with a smile.
"I know some medicine; can I see if I can cure her?" Su Yang asked directly.
Fatty stepped aside, surprised, "You know medicine? When did you learn it? The hospital has given up on her. She has severe burns all over her body, not a single spot is intact. Also, her internal organs are failing due to the burns; actually... actually, I’m only doing what I can now..."
