Wen Qiao listened as her mother cried and rambled on and on.
After Shen Jichuan came in, he waited outside the emergency room. During this time, he contacted Wu Jiandong and Li Sumei.
When Li Sumei learned that her father-in-law had suffered a brain hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, she immediately came over. However, she selfishly thought that it was fortunate that she had Lü Yazhi as her stepmother; otherwise, the responsibility of taking care of her father-in-law would have fallen on her shoulders.
When Li Sumei arrived, she greeted her with great concern.
He also reassured Lü Yazhi not to worry.
“Aunt Lü, I’m going home to get the money now. Jiandong is still out of town. I called him and he said he can’t come back tonight and will have to wait until tomorrow morning.”
Lu Yazhi said, "Xiao Qiao, Ji Chuan, and I are all in the hospital. Tell Jian Dong not to worry, to make sure he is safe, not to rush on his journey, and to be careful."
"Regarding the money, your father said when he was lucid that we should use our own money when we come to get sick. The medications your father takes in the hospital, except for some special ones, can be reimbursed by the government. So we don't need your savings."
Of course, Li Sumei was just saying it lip service; if she were actually asked to pay, she would definitely be unhappy.
Hearing Lü Yazhi say such things, Li Sumei felt relieved.
Since there was no need to withdraw money, Li Sumei stayed at the hospital with her.
The surgery lasted two hours.
The doctor didn't say whether it was good or bad, but just called the patient's family in and gave them some instructions...
Finally, he was moved to the intensive care unit.
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao and her mother-in-law and said softly, "Xiao Qiao, take your mother home first. Eat when you need to eat and rest when you need to rest. I will stay outside the ICU tonight and come back to relieve you tomorrow during the day."
Wen Qiao asked, still worried.
"Will that work? You've been busy all day, you won't be able to sleep well tonight..."
Shen Jichuan said, "Don't worry. I've already spoken to the unit, and they'll send more military doctors, and there are also bodyguards here. It's not just me. There will be someone specifically watching over the old leader, and there will also be professional people taking care of him."
"But at least one member of our family has to be here, otherwise none of us will feel at ease."
Wen Qiao nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are family."
Lü Yazhi echoed Shen Jichuan's words, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Jichuan."
Lü Yazhi doesn't want to leave yet and wants to stay at the hospital, but her mental state isn't very good right now. It's almost 8 o'clock now, and she hasn't had dinner yet.
Wen Qiao persuaded her mother to go home with her.
After Lao Wu was transferred to the intensive care unit, Lü Yazhi told Li Sumei to go home and see her child. Li Sumei did not refuse and went home directly.
Wu Jiandong returned from out of town at eight o'clock the next morning.
He had just arrived at the hospital when Li Sumei also arrived. Upon seeing her husband, Li Sumei immediately called out to him.
"Jiandong, you're back?"
"Sumei, how is my dad? He was perfectly fine, how could he have a brain hemorrhage?"
Li Sumei said, "How would I know? When I arrived, Dad had already been taken in for surgery. He's been transferred to the intensive care unit now, and Shen Jichuan is watching over him. Wen Qiao took Aunt Lü back to the Shen family home."
As Li Sumei spoke, she immediately grabbed Wu Jiandong's arm and said, "Jiandong, do you think Wen Qiao might see Dad like this and not want to care anymore, and might want to take Aunt Lü away?"
“Dad has fallen ill, and Shen Jichuan holds such a high official position. Aren’t we in a very passive position now? If Aunt Lü really leaves, can we stop her?”
