Drunk and riding a motorbike caused Mr. Hai to fall into a ditch and get injured.
It was almost 9pm when Mr. Tinh returned from a wedding of an acquaintance in the neighboring village, reeking of alcohol. Seeing her husband staggering down onto the sofa, Ms. Hoan sighed:
- This morning I told you to drink less and come home early. There's a lot of work at home.
- Why do you keep nagging? How many times have I told you, when you sit at the table with me you have to give it your all to have fun?
- It's fun at that moment, but how many consequences alcohol brings is unpredictable. If you come home late, you'll miss a lot of family things.
Mr. Tinh was about to argue with his wife when the phone rang. Ms. Hoan saw her husband pick up the phone, his voice kept saying "uh...uh...uh...uh..." then he stood up, seemingly sober, so she guessed that it must be something important. Not giving his wife time to ask, Mr. Tinh said:
- You have to go to the hospital right away. Uncle Hai fell into the ditch on his way home from drinking with us. I heard his head hit the ditch wall and it wasn't too bad.
- Oh my god, poor him, alcohol really kills him. And you're already this drunk, do you still want to go?
- But if I stayed at home, I would be impatient. Also today, after drinking at the wedding, I invited him and everyone to go to a friend's house to continue drinking...
- People say you can't drive after drinking alcohol, but you guys are too subjective. He fell by himself, but if he hit someone else, he would have made them suffer, what would be the consequences?
- Yes, I feel so guilty towards Mr. Hai. Please call a car for me so I can take care of him. His children are far away and can't come back in time, and his wife is dead. It's a pity to leave him alone.
- Then wait for me to make a glass of lemonade to sober up and then go. If you come in drunk, how can you take care of him?
Hearing his wife, Mr. Tinh nodded, his heart filled with regret.
