Chapter 222 Preparing to Go to Dawa Village
After listening to the nurse's introduction, they went to the emergency room first and asked about the patient Jiang Lirong's surgery, that is, to find out whether the patient was still alive.
The nurse looked at the records and said that he was rescued and went to the intensive care unit after the operation yesterday. It was not known whether he had come out at this time, so they asked them to go there and ask first.
There was no internet at that time, so they couldn't just check and find out, so they had to ask one by one.
When they arrived at the door of the intensive care unit, they didn't see Lu Guoji, so they went to the inpatient department to inquire.
They soon found out that Jiang Lirong was in Ward 102. They asked about Jiang Lirong's condition again, and the nurse said that she was paralyzed and would never be able to stand up again.
The two thanked the nurse and went to the ward. It was easy to find on the first floor, so they went to the ward according to the door number.
When I reached the door, I heard Jiang Lirong crying inside: "I don't want to live anymore. I'm disabled. What's the point of living?"
Lu Guoji said: "We should be thankful that we are still alive. What would I do if you died?"
"If I die, you can marry another one. I am paralyzed now. I am a useless person and I can't do anything." Jiang Lirong's words were full of despair.
"Then I will serve you, as long as you are alive. I have figured it out in the past two days. I will not fight for anything in the future, and I will not compare with others. I didn't know what happiness was before, but now I know that as long as the whole family is there, it's enough. When you are discharged from the hospital and go home, I will cook and wash clothes for you and serve you." Lu Guoji has aged a lot in the past two days, and he has really awakened.
Jiang Lirong couldn't bear to listen to all this now. Her legs were completely numb and the feeling of being out of control scared her.
She shook her head and said, "I really don't want to live anymore. Please, let me die. This feeling is too painful."
Lu Guoji comforted Jiang Lirong: "Don't get excited. Getting excited is not good for your health. You just had surgery, so you need to be calm. We can talk about it after you recover. I will listen to you."
Jiang Lirong waved her hands excitedly, knocking over the iron teacup on the bedside table. Fortunately, she was the only one in the ward now. It was the New Year, and those who could be discharged from the hospital had gone home to celebrate the New Year.
Lu Guoji wiped his tears and picked up the teacup. "Lirong, I know you're feeling bad and in pain. It's all my fault. If I had come to you earlier, it would have been better. I really regret it now. I regret too much, but I beg you, can you please live well?"
Jiang Lirong asked with a look of resentment on her face: "Why, why did it become like this? I don't want to become paralyzed."
Lu Guoji sighed: "Maybe we have done too many wrong things, and we are getting retribution. If it is retribution, how much I hope it will be me."
Jiang Lirong still didn't think she had done anything wrong: "What kind of retribution? What did we do that was against the will of heaven and earth? This is just bad luck."
Lu Guoji didn't dare to say anything more to irritate Jiang Lirong: "It's still my fault. Anyway, I will take care of you in the future."
Jiang Lirong took a deep breath because her waist was so painful. She was now fixed like a dumpling with her entire waist fixed.
She said, "You are saying it nicely now, but there is no filial son for a long-term patient. Do I expect you to do that?"
Lu Guoji said: "I swear I will serve you for the rest of my life, don't worry."
Jiang Lirong looked at Lu Guoji, not knowing whether it was true or not, and said nothing.
This was the first time she saw Lu Guoji with this expression. In the past, Lu Guoji liked to put his hands behind his back and look up, looking down on everyone. He rarely worked at home and would never bow his head to Jiang Lirong.
At this moment, Lu Guoji looked like a child, which made Jiang Lirong a little dazed and even scared, because this expression should not appear on the face of the person next to her.
At this time, Lu Jingxue came back from the bathroom and saw Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia at the door. He came over reluctantly and said, "You are here, why don't you go in?"
Lu Jingshen said: "Ah, we just arrived too."
Lu Jingxue pushed open the door: "Mom and Dad, Jing Shen and his wife are here."
Hearing this, Jiang Lirong, who had just calmed down, became excited again: "What are you doing here? Are you here to see a joke? You saw it and are you happy? I'm paralyzed, you guys laugh."
Ai Xiaoxia once heard a saying that bitches see dirt in others, and Jiang Lirong just thinks about others with her own heart.
Lu Jingshen placed the fruit directly on the table: "Aunt, we are just here to check on you so that we can explain to my parents when we go back. Since you don't welcome us, we will go back."
Originally, the two of them said they would just take a look and leave, and go back and know what happened when others asked them. The most important thing was that they had to hurry to Dawa Village to find Ai Zhu and ask about their sister. They came here just for the formality. It was New Year's Day, and they didn't want to hear Jiang Lirong yelling.
Lu Guoji said, "I'll take you out and talk." Then he said to Lu Jingxue, "Take good care of your mother."
Lu Jingxue nodded and said nothing.
Jiang Lirong wanted to stop it, but for some reason, she didn't say it out loud. Perhaps she no longer had the confidence to be so domineering as before.
Lu Guoji put on a thick cotton-padded jacket and escorted Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen out of the ward. Since it was on the first floor, they walked directly out of the inpatient building.
When they reached a place sheltered from the wind next to a bulletin board, he held Lu Jingshen's hand and tears started to flow before he could say anything. The more he cried, the sadder he became, and finally it turned into sobbing.
It took a while to calm down, and he said in a trembling voice: "Depth of Field, uncle is sorry for your family and your father. I really regret it now. I couldn't understand the helplessness of your family when your father was sick. These two days, I understand. The feeling of watching loved ones leave, the tension and fear, is really worse than death. I really hope there is someone around me who can let me rely on. I am still a man. At that time, your mother must have been much more helpless than I am now. Depth of Field, uncle really knows he was wrong. I know I woke up too late, but I will suffocate to death if I don't say this."
Lu Jingshen really didn't expect Lu Guoji to say these words. These words were absolutely from the heart, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
What Lu Guoji and his men had done before could not be forgiven, but Lu Guoji's words at this time were indeed sincere.
So he said, "Uncle, don't worry too much. As long as you are alive, there is hope."
Lu Guoji nodded: "Well, I am satisfied now that your aunt is alive. I think we are just getting our comeuppance now, so I accept everything. Let's spend the rest of our lives paying off our debts."
Lu Jingshen didn't know how to continue this topic, so he could only ask, "Uncle, do you have anything else to say to your family?"
Lu Guoji shook his head: "Nothing, Jing Xue called home, are you guys going back to your hometown?"
"Well, go back and stay for two more days." Lu Jingshen said.
"Okay, spend more time with your parents. Your parents are blessed. Okay, let's go back." Lu Guoji burst into tears again as he spoke, because he had noticed in the past two days that Lu Jingxue was not a filial child. In the morning, when Jiang Lirong's anesthetic wore off and she cried in pain, Lu Jingxue actually went out to eat breakfast.
Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia didn't say much. They said goodbye to Lu Guoji and got in the car. They were in a hurry to go to Dawa Village.
