When everyone arrived, Yi Zhonghai was already waiting at the door of the operating room.
"What's the matter, Lao Yi?" Yan Fugui asked.
Auntie Yida is much more popular than the deaf old lady and Mrs. Jia Zhang, so people from every household in the compound came to visit.
"I don't know anything else yet. The doctor said that my lower leg is fractured and it would be best to have surgery. That would be the best." Yi Zhonghai said regretfully again. If he had known earlier, he would have built a useless house for the old lady.
"Don't be anxious, just wait patiently. There's no use being anxious now." Yan Fugui advised.
"Yeah." Yi Zhonghai nodded listlessly.
"Xiao Lin, you have seen the condition of an old lady before, how was she?" Yan Fugui and a few people in the yard gathered together, pulled him aside and asked quietly.
"Just like what the old man said, it's a fracture. You will probably have to lie down for a while after the operation." Lin Tian was not too sure about the level of surgery in this era. In later generations, people might just need internal fixation for a few days before being able to get out of bed.
"Will it have any impact in the future?" Yan Fugui asked.
"I don't think so. After all, she's not too old. She can be cured if she is well taken care of." Lin Tian said.
"Oh, then I feel relieved. Old Yi is in a terrible situation right now." Yan Fugui said with a sigh.
"I think it's not just the old man who's upset, but also the deaf old lady." Lin Tian said meaningfully.
"What you said makes sense. After all, we are renovating the house for her." Yan Fugui said.
"What happened to Shazhu?" Xu Damao interrupted.
Lin Tian said angrily: "He has nothing wrong, but this old lady took the blame for him."
"That's not right. I just saw him lying on the ground howling. I thought he would have to be sent to the hospital later." Xu Damao said with a puzzled look on his face.
"He's just pretending. He's probably scared. He can't handle such a big thing." Lin Tian said.
"This stinky cook is too cowardly. He has diarrhea at the critical moment." Xu Damao said disdainfully.
Lin Tianxin said: If you still don’t know what’s going on, why are you still calling me a fool?
"It's okay. There's a deaf old lady watching over Shazhu in the yard. He is her grandson after all." Lin Tian said.
"That's not right. This old lady has been lying in bed for so long. Who will take care of the deaf old lady in the future?" Xu Damao reacted much faster than Yan Fugui and immediately understood what Lin Tian wanted to say.
"Let Shazhu serve you, who will serve you?" Lin Tian pretended to say.
"Dream on. There's no hope of relying on him." Xu Damao knew Sha Zhu.
"Before this, it was the street office that arranged for the deaf old lady to be under the care of the uncle, right?" Lin Tian looked at Yan Fugui in confusion.
No one else knows what's going on, but Yan Fugui must know.
"Not really. When the street office said they were looking for someone to help take care of the deaf old lady, she had already been living with the old man's family. So the street office simply stopped caring about her, and she has been living like this ever since." Yan Fugui said.
"Is that so? Now that we can't take care of the old uncle anymore, we have to arrange someone else. The deaf old lady's monthly food rations must be quite a lot, right?" Lin Tian said intentionally or unintentionally.
Hearing Lin Tian say this, the people watching the fun around were tempted. It was just giving an old lady a meal, it was still a good deal.
Especially Yan Fugui, I wonder what he is thinking about with those little eyes rolling around.
"Xiao Lin, do you think the matter of the deaf old lady needs to be arranged by the street office?" Yan Fugui asked Lin Tian in a low voice.
"I don't think it's necessary. It should be fine if the deaf old lady is willing. Even if you don't give her a food allowance, you should at least give her a few dollars a month. Who would take care of her for nothing? Third uncle, don't you think so?" Lin Tian continued to encourage this matter.
"Yeah. That's it, that's it." Yan Fugui said absentmindedly.
The old lady's fracture was not too serious and she should be able to recover in a few hours, so everyone stayed in the hospital and waited for her.
After the doctor came out, Lin Tian also went to ask: Actually, it is possible not to have surgery, but they were worried that it would affect their walking in the future, so they had surgery to be safe.
The doctor gave some instructions and left. At that time, the old lady had not woken up yet.
When everyone in the compound saw that the operation was over, they realized it would be inconvenient for everyone to stay here.
After some discussion, they finally asked the second and third aunts to stay and help take care of the child, while everyone else went back.
"Brother, I just saw you talking to the doctor for a long time. What does it mean?" As a group of people walked towards the compound, Xu Damao suddenly asked.
After hearing what Xu Damao said, they all looked at Lin Tian and said, "I just asked about the situation. The doctor said it's not serious. If the family was short of money, they might not have surgery, but they are worried about the sequelae, so they can recover to normal after the surgery."
Everyone understood as soon as they heard it, and they told Yi Zhonghai how to take care of the patient next when they were in the ward just now.
"Oh, how long will it take to raise her?" Yan Fugui was more concerned about this. He also planned to make some money from the deaf old lady.
"I probably won't be able to work for at least two or three months, so I have to be careful." Lin Tian made a rough estimate.
“But Auntie has never been in good health, so she needs to take care of herself for a while. She had surgery this time and it hurt her vitality. I guess she won’t be able to take care of the deaf old lady for a long time.” Lin Tian continued, giving Yan Fugui some reassurance.
"We have to hold Sha Zhu responsible this time. It's such a shame. If he hadn't fallen from the roof, Auntie wouldn't have to be hospitalized." Xu Damao righteously defended Auntie.
"You can go back and ask the second uncle for justice." Lin Tian patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said.
"By the way, Guangtian, where is Team Leader Liu?" Lin Tian asked with some confusion. He turned around but didn't see Team Leader Liu. No wonder he always felt like someone was missing.
"After finishing his work, Team Leader Liu said he was tired, so he drank two more cups and fell asleep. No one dared to call him, and he was still sleeping at home," said Liu Guangtian.
Everyone: ???
Liu Haizhong has been doing absolutely nothing. These past two days he's been just talking and hasn't even bent his waist once.
"Then I'll go back and call Second Uncle later." Xu Damao became excited. Sha Zhu had caused such a big disaster, it would be strange if Xu Damao didn't cause trouble.
"You go ahead." Liu Guangtian said dimly. He didn't dare to call Team Leader Liu, as he would definitely get beaten if he did.
Before Xu Damao could go and find trouble, everyone met Sha Zhu who was carrying a deaf old lady on his back on their way back.
"Are you all back?" said the deaf old lady.
"Well, we can't help there, so we'll leave two people here and the others will go back first." Yan Fugui hurried over.
"Oh, oh." The deaf old lady kept saying "oh, oh" for a long time and finally understood what he meant.
"It's all Shazhu's fault. If it weren't for his aunt, she wouldn't have to suffer this. Who will take care of the old lady in the future?" Xu Damao also came forward to help Yan Fugui add fuel to the fire.
"What, grandson, what did you say?" The deaf old lady pretended not to hear.
Xu Damao: “…”
Then the deaf old lady patted Shazhu on the shoulder, meaning to leave quickly.
Sha Zhu said nothing and didn't even raise his head when everyone was talking to the deaf old lady.
