At that moment, Xu Xiuzhen deeply realized that the two hardest words in the world are not pain, but giving up.
Just as she gave up resisting the gas in her stomach, one of her pants was already soaked and mushy.
Slowly lifting the blanket, a stench of feces immediately assaulted my senses.
She almost vomited herself.
Sure enough... the disposable bed sheet underneath was already soaked through.
On the white cloth, there was a yellowish liquid.
The liquid was still flowing down her trouser leg towards the foot of the bed.
"Wow……"
Xu Xiuzhen broke down.
Having lived for decades, even when she was so poor she couldn't afford food, she had never been this disheveled.
With blurred vision, she looked at the empty chair beside the bed, and regretted it so much that she almost bit her dentures to pieces.
Perhaps this is the pain of having no filial children at one's bedside!
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen inexplicably felt envious of her late husband who had passed away years earlier.
Both were bedridden due to illness, but Zhou Chunhua provided her husband with wholehearted and meticulous care.
And what about her...?
She lost the best daughter-in-law in the world!
If Zhou Chunhua had been there, she wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
After crying for a while, Xu Xiuzhen finally pressed the pager button with no other choice.
Ashamed, she pulled the blanket back over herself.
This time, however, she waited for a very long time before the nurse on duty finally came.
However, this time it wasn't the same person who came before, but another young girl who looked like an intern.
"What's wrong, Aunt Xu?"
Xu Xiuzhen tightened her tongue, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.
"Is it possible to punish someone by moving a hired worker?"
It took the nurse a while to realize what was happening.
"Oh? A caregiver? Didn't your son hire one for you?"
It took Xu Xiuzhen a lot of effort to make it clear that her original caregiver had left and she was now without anyone to take care of her.
"Oh dear. You either have to handle hiring a caregiver yourself, or have a family member do it. We don't handle that."
“The word ‘pause’…” Xu Xiuzhen’s fingernails were almost digging into her flesh.
She really didn't know how to express her current awkward situation.
But right there, the nurse wrinkled her nose.
"What's that smell? Auntie, did you eat stinky tofu?"
Xu Xiuzhen, with her head down, shook her head.
I managed to say a few words to her, but they got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
She just watched as the nurse circled around her bed, sniffing her incessantly.
He kept muttering to himself, "What on earth smells so bad?"
Until the nurse suddenly pulled back her blanket...
Both of them were dumbfounded.
The nurse's face turned red, then white, then pale, and finally pale to the point of turning purple.
Xu Xiuzhen's face turned from white to red, then red to purple, and finally purple to black.
"You... Aunt Xu, you..."
The nurse threw down the blanket and retreated to the side with a grim expression.
"Aunt Xu, what's wrong with you? You should have told the caregiver if you needed to use the toilet so she could get you a bedpan! How could you... just poop on the bed?"
At this point, Xu Xiuzhen was no longer the arrogant person she used to be.
She lowered her head, like a child who had been caught doing something wrong, bowing her head to be scolded.
The nurse was clearly furious. She turned around angrily and said, "Where's your caregiver? I'll go get her to clean you up."
"It's been like this for a long time."
Strangely enough, this time the nurse actually understood.
"What? You're gone? Then... who's going to clean up this mess on the bed?"
Xu Xiuzhen lowered her head again and remained silent.
Where are your family members?
Xu Xiuzhen shook her head: "Don't be silly, how can you learn to be dirty?"
"You can't only have one son, can you? What about your other relatives?"
Xu Xiuzhen shook her head again.
They came from a small county town and settled here; they weren't native residents of Jiang City, so where did they get any other relatives?
"Best friends? Classmates? Friends? You can't possibly have no one you know, can you?"
Xu Xiuzhen thought of Zhou Chunhua.
But the next second, she dismissed the ridiculous idea in her mind.
When Zhou Chunhua had a child who needed care, she didn't treat her well. Now that she's like this, how can she have the face to go back to her?
well!
"Never mind. I'll ask the cleaning lady to help first. Aunt Xu, you should think of a way to find someone to take care of you, or you can hire a caregiver yourself."
Shortly after the nurse left, the cleaning staff arrived.
As soon as the door opened, Xu Xiuzhen heard the caregiver cursing.
That voice, neither too loud nor too soft, sounded like it was deliberately being yelled at her.
She looked up and saw the cleaning lady walking towards her with a duvet cover and sheets.
The cleaner was wearing a mask.
But the unfriendly look in his eyes said it all.
The cleaning lady pulled back her blanket, and the unpleasant things she said became even more offensive.
She was then pulled into a wheelchair by the cleaning staff and pushed into the bathroom in the ward.
These multi-person wards do not have showers.
The cleaning staff filled a basin with water and suddenly poured it all over her.
Yellow, egg-flower-like flocculent material from inside the trouser leg flowed onto the ground with the water.
The cleaning lady grumbled, "It's not like he has dementia, how come he doesn't even realize he's soiled his pants! He doesn't know what he's done, making it seem like he's going to be childless and has no one to take care of him."
Xu Xiuzhen lowered her head.
Honestly, she had never been so humiliated in her life.
The cleaning lady poured several basins of water over her, then used the water to rinse the floor before coming over, lifting her feet, and pulling down her pants.
