Chapter 291 Zhang Dahua Suffers
"Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, I know you are all busy, and taking care of our parents is not something that can be done in just one or two days.
How about this? Let Yingdi come over and take care of Mom and Dad.
You all know the situation at home. We have no place to live even if Yingdi returns home." Gu Bei said as he pulled Gu Nian, Gu Bei, and Gu Chuan outside.
"I'm fine with it. It's up to you guys." Gu Yan didn't care about it.
He can send someone to take care of it or pay for it.
Gu Nian did not object. After all, his purpose was also to let Li Yingdi take care of him.
"Okay, big brother, fourth brother agrees, and I agree too." Seeing that his brothers all agreed, Gu Chuan certainly had no objection.
"Okay, that's settled then. But how do we calculate the money?" Gu Nian made the final decision.
Gu Bei was at a loss to respond to this, after all, it was his wife who took care of the old man, and the money was given to them.
Gu Nian didn't ask Gu Bei to answer this, he was looking at Gu Yan when he said this.
"Any amount is fine with me. You are the eldest brother, so just tell me the number." Gu Yan thought for a while and answered.
"Then each of us will give 300 coins to Yingdi every month, and each of us will give 200 coins to our parents." Gu Nian said after calculating silently.
300 wen for a family is 900 wen, which is less than one tael of silver a month. It is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either.
After all, caring for a patient is no easy task. Nine hundred wen is just right, neither too much nor too little.
As for spending money on Gu Chongshan and Zhang Da, it was because the old couple had no source of income, and they still needed to eat, and occasionally eat something good. All of these required money.
"Okay, no problem for me." Gu Yan spoke first.
Give Li Yingdian three hundred coins and the old couple two hundred coins, which makes five hundred coins.
It is a considerable burden for Gu Nian and Gu Chuan, but it is what they should pay as their children.
So no one objected and agreed.
But in the end, Gu Chuan said, "Mother can't take care of herself, so it's only right that I give my second sister-in-law 300 coins every month.
If my mother can take care of herself in the future, will I not need to give her so much?"
Gu Nian heard this and said, "Yes, the reason we gave so much is because my mother is bedridden and needs to take care of her poop and pee.
If in a few months my mother is able to get out of bed and no longer needs someone to take care of her, it would be wrong to give her so much money.
"What the fourth brother said is true, but there is no rush. Let's talk about it later." Gu Nian felt that it was too early to talk about this now.
After all, Zhang Dahua is still lying on the kang, so it is hard to say whether she can get better.
Since it had been agreed upon, Gu Bei went to the mountains to pick up Li Yingdi without wasting a moment.
After all, Zhang Dahua can't leave here for a moment.
After Li Yingdi knew about this, she felt very unhappy. She was not thought of when good things happened, but was always thought of when bad things happened.
But could she refuse? Obviously not.
Gu Bei was already having a passionate affair with Dong Wan, and she had a falling out with her family. If she didn't go to serve Zhang Dahua, and Gu Bei divorced her, her family would sell her to someone else in exchange for a betrothal gift.
When Li Yingdi thought about this, he had no choice but to agree no matter how reluctant he was.
Seeing that Li Yingdi agreed, Gu Bei didn't say much and quickly asked Li Yingdi to go back and pack up so that he could take care of Zhang Dahua.
After all, Gu Bei was also anxious. He also had a job and couldn't leave his job for a long time, right?
But on the way there, Li Yingdi couldn't help but asked.
"If I serve Mom, I'll have to pay for food and drinks every month, right? Head of the household, you know I don't have much money, and I can't let Mom and Dad starve, right?"
Maybe it's because people who don't love each other find everything they do annoying. Seeing that Li Yingdi only cares about money, Gu Bei felt disgusted and said impatiently:
"We've already thought of this for you. We'll give you 500 coins a month and 600 coins to your parents. That's enough for food and drink."
Li Yingdi calculated and found that it was true. If she was more frugal, she could still save a few dozen cents.
So he nodded and said nothing.
As for why Gu Bei said less about the amount of money, it was because he was frightened by Li Yingdi's behavior of subsidizing her parents' family.
Although Li Yingdi seems to be recovered now, who knows if she will relapse in the future?
As for the deducted money, Gu Bei planned to give it all to Zhiwen. After all, Zhiwen is grown up now and should have some change on hand.
The two of them walked in silence, but they were quite fast. Soon they arrived at Gu Yan's family's small courtyard in the county.
"Dad, I'm back with Yingdi."
Gu Bei shouted as soon as he entered the yard. At this time, Gu Chongshan was the only one left in the yard.
He was relieved to see Gu Bei bring Li Yingdi back. After enjoying himself at home for most of his life, he didn't want to cook for himself now.
"When you get here, go and take care of your mother. She's lying there, unable to move or speak. Turn her over and let her get some sun or something."
Seeing that someone had taken over, Gu Chongshan quickly gave orders.
Gu Bei wanted to leave after bringing Li Yingdi here. He saw that there was nothing he could do to help, so he said to Li Yingdi:
"I'm going back now after bringing you here. I have things to do at the restaurant. You should serve your mother well at home and listen to your father if there is anything. Here is your meal money for this month. Take it."
Li Yingdi responded timidly and went to serve Zhang Dahahua.
At the beginning, Li Yingdi served her wholeheartedly, after all, Gu Bei and his brothers would come to see her occasionally.
But after a long time, Li Yingdi also discovered the clues.
Gu Chongshan, the father-in-law, didn't care about Zhang Dahua's life or death, as long as someone was watching her. As for the Gu Bei brothers, they gradually stopped coming.
So when Li Yingdi looked at Zhang Dahua lying in bed unable to take care of herself, and with no one to supervise her, she gradually became bolder.
In addition, when he thought about the insults and contempt Zhang Dahua had shown him in recent years, his heart became twisted again.
You are so good, Zhang Dahua. You are lying in bed, but you still don’t let me relax. I have to serve you.
Thinking of this, Li Yingdi pinched Zhang Dahua secretly. Seeing that Zhang Dahua couldn't speak, but the expression on her face twisted slightly, Li Yingdi began to torture Zhang Dahua every day.
Zhang Dahua just couldn't move her body, but her consciousness was still clear.
She looked at her son who came over occasionally and wanted to ask for help, but her son just looked at her to see if she was alive and left. No one paid attention to her specific situation.
Gradually, Zhang Dahua stopped trying to ask for help and her consciousness gradually faded.
About a month later, Gu Bei was puzzled to see that Zhang Dahua had lost a lot of weight.
"Didn't you take good care of my mother? How come you lost so much weight in just one month?"
Li Yingdi also realized that they were only concerned about Zhang Dahua on the surface, so she said:
"That's what happens when you're sick for a long time. Your muscles atrophy."
