270: An old oyster carrying a pearl? (2/2)



Li Sumei glanced at her father-in-law.

He pretended to be angry and said, "Dad, you see, Jiandong is just like this, don't be angry."

“We’re not saying we’re abandoning you. Think about it, Xiao Wei is already so grown up, and Wen Qiao’s three children aren’t young either. If another child were to come along, I don’t think Aunt Lü would agree to it.”

"Don't act impulsively about this, talk it out properly."

"I'll go say hello to my colleagues in the obstetrics and gynecology department, and I'll come back later."

Li Sumei said some polite words, seemingly out of concern for Old Wu, and then quickly went to find her husband who had impulsively left in a huff.

Catching up with him, Li Sumei whispered, "Wu Jiandong, you really shouldn't have said those things. Don't you know your father's temper? What if he really took the child because of what you said? What would all our filial piety over the years mean?"

“You’re being too impulsive. What we need to do now is advise them that even if they have a child, they shouldn’t have it.”

Wu Jiandong stood there, his face dark with anger.

“I just feel ashamed, embarrassed. My dad is already sixty, it's one thing for him to find a partner, but now he's having a child. Who can stand that?”

Li Sumei said, "If they can't stand it, they just give up? What we need to do now is to find a way to stop them from giving birth to the child."

After leaving the examination room, Lü Yazhi was transferred directly to a regular ward. She still looked unwell, but her spirits were much better.

Wu Yongliang immediately consulted a doctor about Lü Yazhi's health condition.

"Has the patient experienced prolonged starvation before? She has underlying health issues, including a significant stomach problem. This time, it's likely that eating cold food irritated her stomach, causing stomach cramps."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yongliang finally felt relieved.

He was just saying things impulsively to his son, Wu Jiandong. He knew that at his age, it was definitely not suitable for him to have another child.

Old Wu was heartbroken when he saw his son and daughter-in-law's attitude.

This experience made Wu Yongliang realize that his son and daughter-in-law's filial piety towards him was also for a purpose.

The idea of ​​raising children to provide for old age depends on the premise that the elderly have money in their hands.

Without money, who would care about the life or death of an elderly person?

When Wu Yongliang arrived at the ward, Lü Yazhi had already woken up.

She looked at Wu Yongliang, whose face was pale.

She said softly, "Old Wu, I'm really sorry to trouble you. I shouldn't have eaten that ice cream today."

Lu Yazhi was eating ice cream when she saw several children eating it while shopping.

I asked, "What is that? It looks delicious."

The child told her that this was ice cream, and the top layer was chocolate, and it was delicious.

Lu Yazhi was thinking that next time, she would bring her three children to the mall and buy food for her grandson.

Old Wu thought it was Lü Yazhi who wanted to eat it, so he took it upon himself to buy one for her.

Lü Yazhi didn't think much of it; it tasted quite good, being cool and refreshing.

She ate it all in one go.

Who knew that my stomach would start to feel uncomfortable after eating.

She has a chronic stomach problem, which stems from when she was back in her hometown, where she often went hungry and didn't know where her next meal would come from.

Back then, Wang Dayong would take any money he had and spend it either on eating, drinking, and having fun outside, or on other women.

With no food or drink at home, Lü Yazhi had no choice but to go out and dig for wild vegetables to eat with mixed grains.

Over time, the person became pale and thin, suffering from severe malnutrition, which also damaged their stomach.
