Chapter 446 You are the child’s biological mother
"What are you eating? It smells so good."
After giving the patient an injection, Hu Shasha returned to the nurses' station.
"Crispy pork is a hometown snack made by Comrade Gu's lover. Would you like to try it, Sister Hu?" The young nurse picked up a piece of crispy pork and handed it to her.
Hu Shasha's eyes twitched. "I don't like fried food. It's not healthy."
The young nurse blinked in surprise. "Sister Hu, everyone's short on oil these days and craves fatty foods for extra nutrition. And you think fried food is unhealthy? What kind of family are you from? You must eat meat every day."
"That's right, that's right."
Hu Shasha is from an ordinary working-class family. "I... I get a sore throat easily when I eat fried food."
"Oh, Sister Hu, if you don't want to eat, then we will eat more." The young nurse said happily.
Hu Shasha: “…”
When Yu Hui returned to the ward, she used crispy meat to tempt Gu Huai.
"Brother Gu, you've been taking nutrient solution every day, so you've almost forgotten what food tastes like. Smell this crispy meat and see if it's fragrant."
She put the crispy meat in front of Gu Huai's nose.
"It smells good, but I fried it myself."
"Do you want to eat? If you do, hurry up and I'll fry some crispy pork, meatballs, and small fish for you."
She muttered a lot, but Gu Huai didn't give her any response. She withdrew her hand in frustration and took a bite of the crispy meat.
"Brother Gu, why aren't you awake yet? The crayfish in the river are getting fat again. I want to eat crayfish noodles."
Gu Huai's left index finger moved, but Yu Hui didn't see it.
In just the afternoon, everyone in the inpatient department knew that the wife of the combat hero, Comrade Gu, was an excellent cook and the snacks she made were extremely delicious.
This is all thanks to Director Mo.
After many days, Lin Siyu, disguised herself, came to the military family compound again.
She wore glasses and had her head wrapped in a silk scarf as she followed a group of military families returning from the market, trying to blend in.
"Xiao Yu has been in Beijing for over a week, right?"
"It's been ten days."
"He's been gone for so long and still hasn't come back. Could it be that Deputy Captain Gu is really dying?"
"I heard from my husband, and the doctors at the Renjing Military Hospital said that the chances of him waking up are very small. It's been so long, it's probably difficult."
"Oh, isn't this Xiao Yu going to be a widow at such a young age?"
"That's right, it's really pitiful."
Lin Siyu paused and stopped following the military families.
Gu Huai is going to die!
"Didn't you go to the military dependents' compound? Why are you back so soon? Did you fail to get in again?"
Qin Shulan was pasting matchboxes at home. When she saw her daughter coming back so soon from the military family compound, she frowned and asked unhappily.
It's been so long, and she hasn't even seen Gu Huai, nor gotten close to the child. How can she be happy?
Lin Siyu sat on the chair and said, "I didn't go in."
"Why don't you go in?" Qin Shulan raised her voice.
Lin Siyu looked at her and said, "Mom, is Gu Huai going to die?"
The cardboard box in Qin Shulan's hand fell to the ground. "What did you say?"
Lin Siyu shouted, "Gu Huai is going to die!"
"Is this true?" Qin Shulan couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. I heard it from the people in the military dependents' home."
"He's in the Beijing City Hospital. Yu Hui has been in Beijing for over ten days. The people at the Military Family Hospital are saying she's going to be a widow!"
"This is the plan my father made for me. He wanted me to abort the child, divorce Lu Tianyou, and get back together with Gu Huai. Now, all my efforts are in vain." Lin Siyu complained irritably.
"Why am I going to die now?" Qin Shulan couldn't have imagined that it would all be in vain.
If the child is not aborted, even if Lu Tianyou wants to divorce, as long as Siyu disagrees, the marriage cannot be divorced. As long as she is thick-skinned, she can just stay in the Lu family.
Qin Shulan looked at her daughter Lin Siyu and really didn't know what she should do in the future?
While you are still young, find a widower or divorced man with some money and marry him?
It seemed like this was her only way out.
After Lin Yong returned home and heard about this, he was silent for a moment and then said to Lin Siyu: "If Gu Huai really died, you would have to fight with the old Gu family for the four children."
Lin Siyu frowned, "Gu Huai is dead, why should I fight over those ungrateful little bastards? Isn't my life hard enough? I still have to get myself four more burdens."
"That's right." Qin Shulan also agreed.
Lin Yong rolled his eyes. "It's not unfair to say that you women have long hair but short knowledge."
"Who is Gu Huai?"
"He was a combat hero who had made first-class contributions. If he died, how could he have received less in compensation?"
"Shouldn't the government provide money and food to support these children every month?"
"Whoever has the child has the money!"
Qin Shulan and Lin Siyu understood.
Qin Shulan looked at Lin Siyu excitedly and said, "Siyu, you have to fight for all the children. With Gu Huai's pension and the money for raising the children every month, our family will have a better life."
Lin Siyu frowned and said, "But the Gu family will definitely not give the child to me."
Even if she wanted to fight for it, she might not be able to win it.
Lin Yong said, "You are the child's biological mother. The child's biological father is dead, so of course the child should be with you. It's not something that Gu's family can refuse to give to him."
"That's right, Siyu, you are the child's biological mother, so of course the child should follow you!" Qin Shulan also said.
Lin Yong asked Lin Siyu to go to the military family compound more often to inquire, and as soon as Gu Huai died, they would go and take the child.
In the ward, Yu Hui chatted with Gu Huai while cutting his fingernails. While cutting, she compared the size of her palm with his.
"Brother Gu, your hands are really big, much bigger than mine."
As they were comparing, Yu Hui inserted her fingers into Gu Huai's fingers and crossed their fingers together.
She rested her forehead against her and Gu Huai's intertwined hands and said, "I really wish you could hold my hand back. Dongdong's summer vacation is almost here, and he's still waiting for it. You can take him to the creek to fish and catch lobsters."
"Dongdong said that he wanted to bring his younger brothers and sisters to Beijing to see you during summer vacation. If you don't wake up, the children will see their dad lying in bed motionless, and no matter how they call you dad, you don't respond. How sad they will be."
"So wake up soon, okay?"
A tear fell on Gu Huai's arm, and his index finger moved.
Yu Hui felt it and was stunned. Then she looked at Gu Huai's hand in shock.
"Brother Gu, did you move your hand? Your hand moved, right?"
"Doctor, doctor..." Yu Hui let go of Gu Huai's hand, opened the door of the ward and ran out.
Three minutes later, Director Mo examined Gu Huai and looked at Yu Hui, who was looking expectant. He said regretfully, "Comrade Xiao Yu, Comrade Gu shows no signs of waking up or getting better."
Yu Hui: "How could it be that I didn't feel anything? I clearly felt his fingers move."
Hu Shasha rolled her eyes slightly and said, "Maybe you're wrong."
“…”
Yu Hui also began to doubt whether she was wrong because she wanted him to wake up too much.
The blow after the surprise made Yu Hui, who had been holding on for so many days, a little collapsed.
She rushed to the bed, grabbed Gu Huai's arm and shook him.
"Gu Huai, what did you promise me before you left? Wake up quickly. If you wake up again, I will really take your child and remarry, and let your child call someone else dad."
Hu Shasha: "Yu Hui, how could you treat a patient like this? Let Comrade Gu go."
