Chapter 235: Reaping the Fruits of One's Own Sows

When Lu Guoji saw Lu Guojiu coming, he went straight over and hugged Lu Guojiu: "Second brother, it's great that you came, thank you, thank you." As he spoke, tears started to fall, and he cried with snot and tears.

Lu Guojiu was stunned, because he and Lu Guoji rarely had serious and peaceful conversations, and Lu Guoji's sudden intimacy made him really uncomfortable.

Jiang Lirong lay on the hospital bed, watching this scene, her lungs about to explode with anger: "You all came here to laugh at me, right? Do you want to see me die?"

Lu Guoji released his arms from holding Lu Guojiu and quickly apologized to them: "Don't be angry, she's just been hurt so badly that she's upset. She's been a bit irritable these past few days. Just consider that she's a patient and don't bother with her."

Jiang Lirong had already started crying at this time: "You might as well kill me? Why do you come to laugh at me? I don't want to live anymore..." As she said that, she pulled out the IV drip, and she really wanted to die.

Ai Xiaoxia didn't expect Jiang Lirong to be so excited. The last time she came, Jiang Lirong was also excited, but she didn't expect it to be so scary today. This person really wanted to die at this time.

At this time, the nurse ran in and said, "Family members, please leave. The patient needs a sedative."

Soon another nurse came in with an injection.

Ai Xiaoxia and the others put down their things and walked out the door because Jiang Lirong looked very scary at the moment, as if she was going crazy.

After coming out, Lu Guoji squatted beside the chair at the door and cried bitterly.

Lu Guojiu bent down and helped Lu Guoji sit on the chair: "Brother, sit down and rest for a while."

Lu Guoji wiped his tears and said to them, "Don't mind Lirong's words. Yesterday, I thought she was asleep, and she heard the doctor and I discussing her condition. She knows that not only will she be unable to stand up, but she won't be able to take care of herself either. She just thought she couldn't walk, but she didn't expect her to be completely disabled from the waist down. After learning this, she doesn't want to live anymore and has been making a fuss all day."

Ai Xiaoxia finally understood why Jiang Lirong was so excited. She probably thought she couldn't walk or stand up because her legs were just not listening to her. Now she realized she couldn't control her urination or defecation. It was hard for most people to accept this, and it might even be more painful than death.

Lu Guojiu had some empathy for the patient. He had also undergone surgery. When he came to see him, he thought it was a minor illness. Later, he thought it would be cured by hanging up the IV for a few days, but in the end he had to undergo major surgery.

He comforted Lu Guoji, "It will take time for this patient to accept his condition. Don't worry, it will be fine after this stage."

Lu Guoji wiped his tears and said, "I don't know what to do now. My heart is in turmoil. My mouth is full of blisters and I can't even eat."

Li Shaofen said to Lu Guoji, "Brother, you have to keep your composure. To care for a patient who is hospitalized for a long time, you need to be strong not only mentally but also physically. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle it later."

This was Li Shaofen's experience when she took care of Lu Guojiu in the hospital. She has a deep understanding of caring for patients.

Listening to Li Shaofen's words, Lu Guoji burst into tears again: "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. I really didn't know how difficult it was to take care of a patient before. I thought it was just about spending money. Now I know it's really not easy, it's really not easy."

Li Shaofen looked around and asked Lu Guoji, "Brother, where is Jingxue? My sister-in-law is still unstable, you can't handle it alone."

When talking about Lu Jingxin, Lu Guoji's face was full of disappointment: "I have failed in life these years. My children have not been well educated and are not filial. I can't see them all day and can't rely on them. I don't blame anyone now. It's all my own fault. I deserve it."

Ai Xiaoxia also realized that Lu Guoji had truly come to his senses, but it was too late. His future would not be easy, and this could be considered retribution.

Lu Guojiu sighed deeply after hearing this: "You can't handle it alone, so why don't you invite one of your sister-in-law's sisters to come over and help for a few days? After all, this requires personal care, and it's not convenient for men."

Lu Guoji shook his head. "Your sister-in-law has such a bad temper that none of the sisters are close to her. When something happened, she only gave ten yuan to each of them and then they all went back. You can't rely on her."

Ai Xiaoxia thought to herself that Jiang Lirong had indeed done it herself, and now she had to suffer the consequences.

Li Shaofen was thinking about the difficulties she had faced as a bedside companion in the past, and said to Lu Guoji, "Some patients in the ward can take care of themselves, and some have bedside companions. Ask which bedside companion is willing to help. Just give them some money, and they'll give you some time to eat, sleep, and so on."

Lu Guoji still had some money in his hands. His family had saved some money over the years, so they had enough for the temporary expenses.

He was indeed a little too tired. After listening to Li Shaofen's advice, he was very pleased and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. You have helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would really die."

Lu Guoji was so grateful that he almost knelt down. Now he didn't want anything else and just hoped that his whole family would be alive.

While they were talking, the nurse came out and said that Jiang Lirong was asleep, and asked them not to disturb her and not to go in and wake her up for the time being.

So Ai Xiaoxia and the others continued to sit on the bench in the corridor and talk.

Lu Guoji really regrets it now. He always holds Lu Guojiu's hand because it makes him feel warm.

Although Lu Guojiu didn't have a good impression of this elder brother, seeing that Lu Guoji was really pitiful at this moment, he couldn't help but comfort him.

Lu Guoji can't stand hearing good things now. He would be moved and cry once he heard them, and then admit his mistakes. His eyes were swollen from crying, and he spoke sincerely. He didn't need Lu Guojiu to forgive him, but just wanted him to still recognize him as his big brother in the future. He felt at ease when he heard Lu Guojiu calling him big brother.

After talking for a while, Ai Xiaoxia and the others said goodbye. After all, it was the hospital corridor and they couldn't talk for too long. Besides, Jiang Lirong had finally fallen asleep, so Lu Guoji had to rest for a while.

Lu Guoji accompanied them out of the inpatient building. Even after they left the hospital gate, he was reluctant to go back.

He knew that he had made too many mistakes and that Jiang Lirong was the main culprit, but he also made a big mistake by not managing his wife well. Even though he regretted it now, it was too late.

After coming out, Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen felt very uncomfortable, because this reminded them of the time when Lu Guojiu was hospitalized.

We didn't talk much on the way back. When we got home, we talked about making lunch and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

In the evening, after Lu Jingshen got off work, they went to Lu Guosheng's house to see Wang Jinfeng. After all, she was Lu Guojiu's biological mother. They could ignore her incorrect remarks, but they still had to go and see her.

When I arrived at the corridor of Lu Guosheng's house, I heard a loud quarrel inside. Just as I reached the door, a piece of clothing flew out and Lu Guosheng's voice came out: "Don't you want to live with me? Then get out."

Jiang Zhi said in a voice that was not to be outdone: "Why should I leave? I own half of this house. You have no right to ask me to leave. Not to mention that the divorce procedures haven't been completed. Even if they were, I still own half of the property openly and honestly. If you want to leave, you can leave, but I can't leave."

Ai Xiaoxia frowned. The homes of Wang Jinfeng's two favorite sons were in chaos. As a mother, she was really a failure.
