Originally, Mr. Lu did nothing at home, at least he didn't need her to serve him. She only cooked and washed clothes.

Mr. Lu is still able to take care of himself.

But now, even after the surgery and taking medicine, Mr. Lu still has no ability to take care of himself and still needs her to take care of him.

By then, the money will have been spent, and she will still have to spend time and energy serving Mr. Lu.

It's not worth it no matter how you think about it.

The doctor said, "I suggest you let the patient stay here first. Our doctors and nurses can find out and treat any problems in time. At the same time, our hospital will contact the city hospital for beds. There is a shortage of beds there, so there will definitely be a queue. Once a bed is available, we will arrange for the patient to be transferred to another hospital and wait in line for surgery."

"Mom, we don't know how long we'll have to stay in the hospital here. It's too expensive," Ge Guifen said to Mrs. Lu.

Old Mrs. Lu also thought of the same thing and said, "Let's just go back and live here. We have a doctor in our village and we can go to him if we need anything. When there's a bed available in the city hospital, we can go there directly."

"That's fine." The doctor said without any hesitation, "But in this case, you need to contact the city hospital yourself."

"Okay, okay, okay." Ge Guifen agreed readily.

She had no intention of treating Mr. Lu at all, and had no plans to send him to any hospital.

It's just an excuse at this moment.

The village chief was somewhat suspicious of Ge Guifen's intentions, but he also felt that no matter how selfish a person was, he would not be so selfish as to abandon an old man's life.

So without saying anything, he took them and Mr. Lu back home.

The village chief did not interfere in the Lu family's affairs and drove his tricycle back home.

Only Ge Guifen, Old Mrs. Lu, and Old Mr. Lu who was paralyzed in bed and unable to speak were left at home.

Old Mrs. Lu said to Ge Guifen, "Go to the city this afternoon and contact the hospital."

"Mom, you really want Dad to go over there." Ge Guifen pouted, stood in an untidy manner, and rolled her eyes at Old Lady Lu, "Where can we get the money to treat Dad?"

"If you are willing, just use your pension money to treat Dad. Don't ask me for it because I don't have any money." Ge Guifen blocked Mrs. Lu's plan with just one sentence.

Old Mrs. Lu really intended to let Ge Guifen take the money.

"If you don't take the money, who will? Have I raised you in vain?" Old Mrs. Lu said in a sharp voice.

"You have supported Lu Zhenjia, but not me. Ever since you came here, I have been taking care of you with good food and drink. You don't have to do any work. I have done enough." Ge Guifen counted everything. "If I had money, I would have found a way to rescue Lu Zhenjia a long time ago. Why would I wait until now?"

"Which of the family doesn't need money? Ever since you came here, have I ever spent your money? I am alone, supporting such a family, and Youzhen will go to college in the future. How can I afford to treat Dad? You have money in your hands, but when Zhenjia went to jail, you held on to the money and refused to spend it, and refused to save him. Now Dad has had a stroke, you want to save him and pay for it yourself, I don't have any money."

Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she fell backwards. "You didn't spend our money? You always say that you have no money and no food to eat. When did I not give you money to subsidize you?"

Ge Guifen was a bad person. She said she had no money to cook, so she really used vegetables and tofu dregs to deal with them.

The vegetables are all rotten leaves picked up from the market.

It’s okay to eat it once or twice, but who can stand eating it like this every meal?

Anyway, Ge Guifen is a carefree person. If they don't take the money, they will eat this for every meal.

Mr. Lu has a bad temper and can't stand this humiliation. He is still waiting for the meat and wine.

So the old lady had no choice but to give Ge Guifen money to buy vegetables.

"Subsidize me? Didn't Dad eat all the meat I bought? Youzhen and I couldn't eat any of it. You just used the money to buy meat for yourself, and we couldn't eat any at all. I had to use the fire and oil at home to cook for you. I bought the meat and vegetables, and I cooked the meal. I worked so hard but didn't get to eat a single bite of meat. I was just a free babysitter for you."

"You two don't spend any money to have someone serve you, and you're not secretly happy about it. You still have the nerve to tell me that you subsidized us? The leftover broth for Kou's father to dip into the steamed buns and mix with rice, so we are considered to be taking advantage of it, right?" Ge Guifen sneered, with a nonchalant look on her face, "Anyway, I don't have any money!"

Mr. Lu could hear and understand the quarrel between the two people outside, but he just couldn't say a word.

I didn't expect that now that he is so ill, neither his wife nor daughter-in-law is willing to spend money on his treatment.

"You have money but you don't spend it yourself, why do you want me to spend it?" Ge Guifen said coldly, "If you are not convinced, next time you go to see the Zhen family, ask him if he will let me take the money."

She knew Lu Zhenjia's temper too well.

Lu Zhenjia was worried that he would have no money to spend when he got out, so how could he bear to give the money to Mr. Lu for his medical treatment.

Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was gasping for breath. She heard Ge Guifen say, "Mom, stop pretending. You are reluctant to spend the money. I think we should just forget it."

Old Mrs. Lu hesitated.

Ge Guifen gave her a way out, "Our family is in such a condition, we really can't afford so much money. Besides, if we go to the city for treatment, don't we have to accompany him? Where will we live in the city? Renting a house will cost a lot more money."

"We can't just look at the cost of medical treatment, there are many additional expenses. Food and accommodation will cost a lot." Ge Guifen counted on her fingers, "Besides, the doctor also said that Dad is old, even if he gets treatment, he won't be able to recover. He will probably still be in a wheelchair, and he won't be able to speak fluently, which will make daily communication difficult."

"Look, isn't this the same situation as now? Dad can't move, he's paralyzed in bed, he can't speak, and he can't communicate with us. If we spend money on treatment and the result is the same, then why do we still spend that money? It's better to save the money for treatment and buy more delicious food for Dad. It's the same if we serve him well."

When Ge Guifen tries to coax people, she speaks in a variety of ways.

Old Mrs. Lu was reluctant to take the money in the first place, and after hearing what Ge Guifen said, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and that what she said made sense.

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay!"

Then, Mrs. Lu said to Ge Guifen, "Since the old man can't move, it's not convenient for him to live in the master bedroom. Why don't you clean up a small room and move him there?"

Ge Guifen sneered, the old lady's true colors were revealed.

Even though Mrs. Lu usually acts like a tyrant at home, she is still suppressed by Mr. Lu.

All the delicious food and drinks in the Lu family are given to Mr. Lu, and Mrs. Lu gets nothing at all.
