"Grandpa, lie down!"
Cao Cao saw his grandfather sweeping the yard again and shouted hurriedly.
The old man was somewhat helpless: "I am really fine! Can't you see it after so many days! Look, I am fine!"
"But, but," Cao Cao had nothing to say.
Where in the world can such a magical thing come from!
That day the doctors told him to be prepared for the old man's health to gradually weaken, but in the blink of an eye, grandpa stood up!
So many days have passed, but grandpa is still full of energy. In fact, he looks more and more energetic, completely different from his previous frail appearance!
At this time, an aunt ran into the yard, saw Cao Cao, and hurriedly said, "Oh, Cao Cao, your stepmother is gone! Go and collect the body!"
Cao Cao's face was a little surprised: "Isn't she a nurse in the hospital? How could she be in danger?"
The aunt sighed, "Your stepmother is just unlucky. She went to a doctor's room during her night shift and was beaten to death by a patient's family member who was looking for trouble with the doctor! What kind of thing is that!"
When the people nearby heard about this inside story, they quickly gathered around and started asking questions.
"Hey, is Mei Zi really dead? I saw her leaving for work this morning, and now she's gone. It's too sudden!"
“Who said it wasn’t?”
"Hey, isn't she taking the blame for that doctor?"
"This is truly bizarre. I've never seen anything like it before!"
Cao Cao listened to everyone's discussion with a complicated expression. He and his grandfather looked at each other.
Cao Cao said, "Well, I'll go into the house and get some money first."
My aunt said, "Hey, hurry up, they're waiting at the hospital!"
He hurried into the house and went straight to his stepmother's room. He searched every corner and found nearly a thousand yuan hidden by his stepmother.
He pursed his lips, counted out a few hundred and put them in his pocket, found a place to hide the rest, and then turned around and walked out.
At this time, the younger brother born by his stepmother was running back happily, completely unaware of the bad news that was about to happen.
When everyone saw Brother Cao Cao, they quickly called out to him.
"Xiaobao, stop playing. Something happened at your home. Go to the hospital with your brother!"
Xiaobao showed an unhappy look on his face and pouted, saying, "My dad is gone, what else can happen? It's just that the old man is going to die. It's none of my business!"
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed.
"Yeah, what kind of little devil is this!"
"Is that what his mother usually taught him?"
My aunt frowned and said seriously, "This is really not your grandfather's business! Your mother is in trouble, wouldn't it be sensible for you not to go and take a look?"
Xiaobao was stunned for a moment: "My mom? What could happen to my mom?"
Everyone sighed again.
"Well, you'll find out when you go and see."
He walked out hastily, glanced at Xiaobao without any expression, and said stiffly: "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."
Xiaobao's face was full of helplessness at this time, with tears in his eyes, and he was full of fear of the unknown.
Although he was ignorant, he vaguely knew that if his mother was gone, his life would change drastically.
From now on, there will no longer be a gentle and loving woman who can protect him.
The more Xiaobao thought about it, the more scared he became, and he started wiping away tears as he walked on the road.
"Cao Cao, is my mother dead?"
He never respected his brother and usually called him by his nickname.
He hummed hastily.
Upon hearing this answer, Xiaobao burst into tears.
As I walked, my vision was blurred by tears, my nose was twitching with soreness, and my heart was very sad.
When he arrived at the hospital, Cao Cao just glanced at the woman who died in a miserable state. Although it was only a glance, he still closed his eyes unable to bear it.
Although his stepmother was hateful, Cao Cao felt heavy-hearted when he saw such a living person lying there lifeless and beaten so badly.
Human life always has weight.
The dean found Cao Cao and said sadly, "Now that your parents are gone, you still have to take care of your brother. I will give you your mother's pension directly, but you have to take good care of your brother. Do you understand?"
Only two people in this world knew this secret, and now the other one is dead.
The secret is that Xiaobao is actually his son.
But he couldn't bring the person home. Bringing him home would be equivalent to exposing his scandal to the public, and then he would lose his position as the hospital director.
Sighing, the dean took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Cao Cao's hand.
"Your mother is also my colleague. We usually have a good relationship. Take this money. If she dies, I will have to take care of her children."
Cao Cao blinked, took the money hesitantly, and put it in his pocket.
The dean continued, "If you have any other difficulties, please feel free to ask. The hospital will do its best to help."
Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then said, "My grandfather has no income right now. Can you help find him a job? Even a temporary job is fine."
Anyway, the old man doesn't seem to be sick anymore, so arranging something for him to do will help alleviate the family's financial difficulties.
The dean said repeatedly: "No problem, this is absolutely no problem, the hospital will definitely help you solve it!"
Cao Cao took Xiao Bao back home in a daze, and the people in the hospital spontaneously helped carry his stepmother's body back home.
He kept his head down and thought all the way, not knowing what he was thinking about.
When he got home, he suddenly looked up, his eyes reddened: "Uncle and aunt, I'm not very old, and I don't know what the rules of funerals are. Can you help me?"
