This is a government-run hospital, not a private clinic. All their fees are open and transparent, and they don't prescribe unnecessary medications or overcharge!

"Sir, if you really can't help it, you should tell the doctor the truth. Don't hide your true physical condition from the doctor and affect his judgment."

Besides, if the pain is really severe and affecting your sleep, it will also hinder your recovery.

The nurse was a veteran medical worker with over ten years of experience. She thought that the old man was influenced by the old lady and didn't dare to say anything about the pain, only thinking about saving money on painkillers!

The old man's gentle and kind advice showed consideration for his feelings.

"Girl, thank you. I'm not really in much pain. I'm crying not because the pain is unbearable."

I was thinking that my injury would be a burden on my son and his family, costing them money and causing them trouble. It's not easy for them to earn money.

"Oh! What's the big deal? Isn't it what children should do?"

So, is it only when parents are sick, old, and unable to move that they need their children to take care of them?

It is said that raising children is for old age security. Doesn't this mean that the elderly only need their children by their side when it matters most?

You raise your children when they are young, and they take care of you when you are old. Isn't that how it is in every family?

Don't worry, sir. Your injury isn't serious. You can stay in the hospital for seven or eight days, have the stitches removed, and then go home to recover.

Come back frequently for checkups and dressing changes, take some oral medication, and you'll be fine in three months without any lasting effects.

You're only sixty; you have twenty or thirty good years ahead of you!

His words were reasonable and well-founded, which made Old Man Yu feel much more at ease. Yes, he was not sick or in pain, and he really didn't need his son to take care of him!

"Thank you, my dear. What you said makes a lot of sense. I feel much better now."

"Being old and not dying is a disaster! What's the point of living to such an old age? If you can't move anymore, you should hurry up and find a way to avoid suffering yourself and becoming a burden on your children!"

Liu Lan's mother rolled her eyes and muttered something unpleasant.

The nurse left after changing the IV bag, without responding to Liu Lan's mother's words.

Liu Lan's mother pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "What's so great about her? She's just a nurse."

Even if she's incredibly capable, she's destined to be a caregiver, and she doesn't even acknowledge people. What's there to be proud of!

Old Man Yu ignored her, carefully adjusted his posture, and continued to close his eyes to sleep!

The patients on the other two beds exchanged a glance, their gossip simmering. "Grandma, are you and the injured man related?"

"Pah! Who's related to this old geezer? He's my daughter's father-in-law."

I'm staying with my daughter's family. My daughter has only had her baby for a few months and has just started working.

They originally asked Lao Yu to help take care of the child so that the young couple could go to work, but unexpectedly, Lao Yu broke his leg.

My son-in-law went to the traffic police station to handle a case, and my daughter was supposed to be taking care of Lao Yu at the hospital.

She has a young child who needs constant care, and she also has to go to work; she can't spare the time.

As a mother, how could I stand by and watch my child suffer? That's why I've come to take care of my daughter's father-in-law.

The middle-aged patient couldn't help but praise, "Hey, I thought you were hard to get along with because you don't speak very nicely."

I never expected that you, old lady, would be such a good parent who thinks of your children.

However, since Uncle Yu injured his leg, it might be inconvenient for you women to take care of him when he goes to the toilet!

"If you're too busy, you could hire a male caregiver. It won't cost much, and he'll be able to take care of the older man easily."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lan's mother became anxious, saying, "I'm just a straightforward person, I don't have any bad intentions."

We're all old folks who'll be buried in the ground by now, what's there to be inconvenient about?

I've dressed up clothes for many elderly people in the village before their passing; I've seen all kinds of them!

Doctors don't differentiate between men and women when treating patients, so why should I, at my age, care?

I don't treat Lao Yu as a relative by marriage. When I'm helping him with his bodily functions, I just treat him like an old man in the village.

I'm a woman and I'm not embarrassed, so why should he be? Anyway, the kids don't have time to take care of him, and if he keeps being picky, he'll just end up wetting the bed.

If we're talking about hiring someone, we don't have that kind of extra money. I'd rather do it myself!

The two men exchanged a glance. Well, if the other person doesn't care, why are they bothering with their own business?

The young patient had hemorrhoid removal surgery. The wound has been healing gradually over the past few days, but he keeps feeling itchy and can only keep rubbing his buttocks and moving around.

He still remembered the woman who had just come by. She was so beautiful. Her looks, her figure, her temperament—tsk tsk tsk, even more beautiful than a supermodel!

"Uncle, who was that person who just came by? Judging from what that lady was saying, she seemed to be your daughter-in-law."

Old Yu pretended to be asleep and didn't say anything; he was too ashamed to speak!

Unexpectedly, Liu Lan's mother, undeterred by the embarrassment, started gossiping with the young people about her son-in-law's ex-wife.

"You mean the woman who just brought her child to visit Lao Yu? I know, she's Lao Yu's former daughter-in-law."

She's been dumped by men, yet she dresses up like a vixen; I wonder who she's trying to seduce here!

At this point, she suddenly realized and shouted at Old Man Yu:

"Old Yu, is Chen Hong up to no good? Is she using the excuse of visiting you to actually seduce Yu Hai?"

I knew it! You're divorced, it's good enough that you don't fight or argue when you meet. How could she be so magnanimous as to bring the child to visit you?

So she was hoping to have a chance encounter with Yu Hai and win him back!

Pah! She's dreaming! She thinks she's the only pretty one; she's never even seen my daughter before.

My daughter looks like me, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and double eyelids. She's younger than me and has a bigger bust.

She's already been defeated by my daughter, and she still doesn't know her place!

Liu Lan's mother looked smug, but she didn't notice that Old Man Yu was so embarrassed that he quietly slid down and buried his face in the quilt.

This woman is crazy! She's praising her daughter's big breasts in front of her husband and other strange men.

My son is so unlucky to have such an ignorant and unreasonable mother-in-law! It's a real tragedy!

The young patient asked curiously, "Auntie, does that mean your daughter is prettier than the person who just came in?"

Your son-in-law is truly blessed! Both his wives are so beautiful. What does he do for a living? Is he quite handsome himself?

When Liu Lan's mother talked about her daughter and son-in-law, she was beaming with joy.

“My daughter is beautiful, and my son-in-law is not bad either. Otherwise, how could the two of them be able to fall in love?”

The key is that they both work in the same company, and they take care of each other. Over time, they naturally fell in love.

At that time, my son-in-law was still married and had to give his ex-wife 1,000 yuan every month. He was very poor!

"If my son-in-law weren't so handsome, would my daughter have fallen for a divorced older man?"

Old Yu shrank further under the covers, feeling ashamed to face anyone. What was so glorious about this? Was it something he could talk about in front of outsiders?
