Chapter 49 The Perfect Implementation of the Plan
That's now.
On the way to send Wu Limei to the hospital, Gu Yunsu thought sadly, how could everything go so smoothly! She felt uneasy, always thinking that something bad would happen in the next second, but nothing happened until now. She comforted herself while holding her breath: maybe things have really changed, maybe the goddess of luck has finally begun to favor their family.
But the result was such a mistake.
Xu Wenbin held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, don't be nervous."
Gu Yunsu's eyes began to glaze over.
How could she not be nervous? Wu Limei's due date was still a month away, and she was an elderly pregnant woman. The situation was dangerous to begin with, and now it was even more dangerous!
No way. No way.
She thought to herself, it can’t be so tacky to create some twists and turns at the last minute of childbirth to add to the suspense and make people cry!
This is real life, please don't use the cliché TV drama tricks!
Fearing that the ambulance would be too slow, the six people took three taxis and headed straight to the nearest hospital.
Gu Yunsu took his ID and the production supplies package he had prepared in advance, and arrived later with Xu Wenbin. As soon as he entered, he called Luo Jingjing: "Where is he?!"
"On the third floor, they said that my water has broken and I need surgery. Don't worry, they are already preparing."
Gu Yunsu was of course extremely anxious. Seeing that the elevator was crowded, he simply pulled Xu Wenbin up the stairs.
As soon as she went up, she saw Li Jianxiong pacing at the entrance of the staircase with a sad face and full of anxiety. Luo Jingjing waved to her and took a few steps forward to meet him.
Gu Yunsu didn't want to appear so disappointing, but as soon as she saw Li Jianxiong and everyone else's worried faces, she felt it was all over, the sky was falling.
Countless extremely bad thoughts were running wildly in her mind. It was as if there was a timer in her heart, ticking away, telling her that everything was over.
It was at this moment that she truly felt the fear of losing.
But there was another voice in her head mocking her: "Don't you want to escape from her? Don't you want to leave this house? Don't you want to completely get rid of those unresolvable pains? You are about to get what you want, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
No.
You won't know what is more important to you until you are faced with a choice - if you really have the choice.
It was painful and annoying, yes. Sometimes she felt wronged, thinking that she had done enough but Wu Limei was still not satisfied. She felt that she was the one who was hurt but Wu Limei never showed any sympathy for her.
But think about it carefully. Wu Limei could not afford a new piece of clothing for a whole year even if she saved money, but she bought her three dresses at once for her birthday. When Wu Limei knew that her favorite singer had released a new album, she would ride her bike to the record store half an hour away from home, and queue for several minutes in the cold wind of January to buy the CD for her. Wu Limei would ride her bike to the Children's Palace on the other side of the city to take her to class under the scorching sun at noon in the dog days of summer, and then wander outside for three hours, waiting to pick her up from school...
Maybe Wu Limei is not a good mother. She is better at receiving love than loving. But she has tried her best to love and take care of her daughter.
Wu Limei also had countless worries and troubles in her life for the first time. She never talked about work, but is there a career in the world that makes people 100% happy? She must have hidden more than she complained about.
All the past events flashed through his mind as fast as a slide show. Gu Yunsu thought, it's over. Isn't this revolving memory technique just before a tragedy?
The tears fell without her even noticing.
Wu Limei was lying on the operating table, looking very tired but still conscious.
A group of people rushed over, but Wu Limei accurately grabbed her daughter's hand.
"Mom, it's okay, don't be nervous." Gu Yunsu's voice was choked with sobs, but he still had to force a smile to comfort Wu Limei.
Wu Limei shook her head gently: "I never said it..."
Her voice was so soft that Gu Yunsu had to bend down to hear it clearly.
"I have never regretted... being your mother. I'm sorry... thank you, mommy loves you."
Wu Limei seemed to be afraid that she didn't have enough time and energy, so she only picked out the key words, but Gu Yunsu understood and wanted to cry loudly.
But it was not possible. She could not let Wu Limei be immersed in such a sad atmosphere. She was afraid that Wu Limei would say what she wanted to say and then leave in a carefree manner.
She tried hard to hold back her tears and frowned in disgust: "I don't understand. I'll tell you when you come out."
Wu Limei smiled helplessly, but that smile was light and shallow, revealing powerlessness.
She was wheeled into the operating room.
The people in the corridor were stuck in a long waiting period.
Gu Yunsu just sat stiffly in the chair, not crying anymore, with a wooden face showing no emotion.
Xu Wenbin sat beside her, not daring to speak, but just holding her hand to convey some warmth to her.
Luo Jingjing always felt that it was her who instigated Wu Limei to perform and that was the cause of all this. She was too ashamed to face her friends and hid in a corner, banging her head against the wall.
A little further away, Li Yan stood against the wall with an expressionless face, but if you looked carefully enough, you could see that he was biting his lips repeatedly, and his lower lip had turned red.
Li Jianxiong simply went out to smoke.
Gu Yunsu found it funny. They had only hastily formed this family less than a year ago, but the ties between them were already so deep?
Everyone stumbled forward, and there were many times when she felt that it was over and the family was going to break up, but everyone insisted on staying here. Individual lives alone were already exhausting, and these "strangers" had to awkwardly join each other's lives and find ways to cooperate in the shortest possible time.
She once asked herself, everyone is compromising and bearing the hardships for the safety of this family, but we are still working so hard, why?
She now has some ideas.
Maybe it’s because you hope for more than you are disappointed in, you like more than you hate, and you gain more than you sacrifice or compromise.
No matter how hard it is or how sad it is, the comfort you get here is something that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
I don't know how long it was before the door of the operating room was pushed open.
Li Jianxiong was the first to rush over, followed by Gu Yunsu, who heard the nurse say, "The operation went smoothly. It's a girl, weighing 3.1 kg."
Before Gu Yunsu could say anything, Li Jianxiong asked, "Where's my wife? Is she okay?"
The nurse nodded and said, "Everything is fine with the mother. The operation went smoothly. The family members don't need to worry too much."
After hearing this, Gu Yunsu finally felt relieved, and the others also felt relieved.
Li Jianxiong went to see the child happily, while Gu Yunsu leaned against the wall, unable to explain the feeling in his heart.
I found it funny again. In comparison, her worrying look just now was really too exaggerated!
Xu Wenbin finally dared to make a joke at this time. He patted his girlfriend on the shoulder and said, "If you don't know, you would think it was you who just gave birth."
Gu Yunsu also laughed, and then pretended to be worried: "It's terrible, it's a girl."
"What's wrong with the girl?"
"In terms of blood relationship and age, this kid always has the upper hand. Scarcity makes things valuable. If there were two boys in the family, I would still have some status. But now I have become the least favored one and have to be someone else's mother."
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Wenbin tapped her head, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "But it doesn't matter. In my eyes, you will always be the most favored one."
Anyway, Gu Yunsu just felt it was sweet from the bottom of his heart.
"Wow..." There was a howl of dissatisfaction from behind. When he turned around, Luo Jingjing was glaring at them. "If I did something wrong, the law would punish me. I won't be abused again just after I recover from the guilt!"
Gu Yunsu couldn't help but laugh and hugged her sister: "Thank you for today."
As a result, Luo Jingjing burst into tears in the corridor, "Wuwuwu, I thought I was going to kill my aunt, I was so scared!"
Gu Yunsu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He patted his friend on the back to comfort him. When he looked up, he saw Li Yan standing alone opposite him.
She waved and Li Yan came over.
"Why are you standing there?" she asked. "Why don't you go see your sister?"
Li Yan: "Waiting for you."
There was still a hint of coolness in the air on that May evening, much like the weather when they had just become a family.
Gu Yunsu looked at his brother, recalled the scene of their first meeting, and couldn't help but sigh at the magic of time and fate.
I was lucky to meet these good people and then have a real family.
She shook her head: "I want to see my mother first."
Li Yan nodded without even thinking, "That's right, I'll go with you."
Several people walked towards the ward together.
Although it was late at night, Gu Yunsu felt that the scene before his eyes had never been as bright as it was now.
The "180-Day Childbirth Support Plan" was actually completed in 180 days from its inception to now. Who can not sigh that Gu Yunsu is so smart?
There are still many problems to be solved in the future. Gu Yunsu also knows that life is about constantly climbing mountains and crossing ridges, and there will always be waves that will suddenly hit her when she is not prepared.
But at least now, she no longer regards this place as a cage that will constrain her. The escape plan has lost its meaning. Maybe she can start another project. She thought about it and decided to call it the "365 Days, Everyday Happiness Plan" for the time being.
