Just as Xu Xiuzhen was so ashamed that she didn't know whether to cover her upper or lower body with her hands, she could vaguely hear the cleaning lady's sarcastic voice.
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen finally broke down.
She hugged her immobile legs and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? I haven't taken a single penny from your family, and I've helped you without complaining about getting dirty or tired. Instead of saying anything nice, you're crying like a baby. If people hear this, they'll think I'm abusing you!"
"It's all for nothing! It's all for nothing!" Xu Xiuzhen didn't care whether she was naked or not, and shouted while covering her ears.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, stop crying!" With that, the cleaning lady pulled a long face and helped the person into the wheelchair, about to push her out.
Xu Xiuzhen was terrified and reached out her hands to grab the sink.
"Grab your clothes, Hu! Grab your clothes, Hu!"
"Get to bed, and I'll help you get dressed!" The cleaning lady not only had a long face, but her voice also became impatient.
"Pfft! Don't pfft, rent seven! Don't call me 'grabbing clothes'!"
"You old lady, how can you be so inconsiderate! Can't you see the ground is wet? The wheelchair is wet too? Getting dressed here will only make your clothes wet! I would have dressed you outside!"
Xu Xiuzhen gripped the sink tightly and shook her head frantically.
"Puzuchi! Wamijuren! Don't Puzuchi!"
All the hospital ward doors were only ajar; they couldn't be locked from the inside.
If she goes out like this, and someone comes to the ward, where will she put her old face?
Xu Xiuzhen kept shouting, and only then did the cleaner understand what she was saying.
"There are people outside? There are no people outside! You're the only one in this ward, it's not crowded! Besides, you're an old woman in your seventies or eighties, with sagging breasts and a droopy bottom, who would be interested in looking at you!"
Xu Xiuzhen shook her head again, vaguely saying that she would never go out.
The cleaning lady was so angry that she slapped Xu Xiuzhen's hand.
"Let go, can't you hear me? I'm already exhausted from cleaning all this up for you! Can't you just listen to me? If you keep this up, I'm not going to take care of you anymore!"
Even though the cleaning staff said that, Xu Xiuzhen didn't let go.
The cleaning lady was so angry that she slapped her hand again.
Two red handprints overlapped, and the skin there was swollen at a visible speed.
However, the cleaning staff got even angrier when they saw that even after all that, the person still didn't let go.
With a determined effort, he pinched Xu Xiuzhen's arm with two fingers.
Xu Xiuzhen cried out in pain.
The hand gripping the sink unconsciously loosened its hold.
The cleaning staff pushed the wheelchair out of the restroom.
He came to the bedside and practically threw her onto it.
She angrily retorted, "If you were younger, maybe people would be willing to take a second look. But looking at you now, would they be afraid of getting a needle in your eye?"
"Picking a needle" is a dialect term; it actually refers to a stye that easily appears in the eyes when one is experiencing internal heat.
Xu Xiuzhen had no time to speak; all she wanted to do was pull the blanket over herself.
However, there was no blanket on the bed.
She looked at the cleaning lady, who was busy cleaning the water off the wheelchair and showed no intention of getting her any clothes.
In a moment of desperation, Xu Xiuzhen leaned out halfway and reached for the cabinet door under the bedside table.
The next second, she rolled off the bed and onto the floor.
With a thud, her forehead hit the ground directly, making her see stars.
Only then did the cleaning lady turn to look at her.
"Oh dear! You old lady, you're so hard to please! I told you not to move, but you insisted on moving! I really don't know what bad luck I had to run into you!"
The cleaning lady, uttering harsh words, walked around from the other side and slowly helped her back to bed.
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen was so dizzy that she couldn't even open her eyes. She rubbed her forehead, but still didn't forget to take her clothes.
Finally, after she vaguely expressed that she wanted clothes, the cleaning lady took out her clothes and pants from the large cabinet under the bedside table.
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen didn't care whether the clothes were inside out or right-side up, and just haphazardly put them on.
As for the pants cleaner, he didn't help her at all.
The person was busy putting on the blankets for the bed next door.
Xu Xiuzhen, who was wearing her clothes inside out, struggled to get up and put on her pants.
Unfortunately, his legs couldn't move, and his arms weren't long enough.
A cool breeze was blowing when Xu Xiuzhen asked for help.
I don't know if the cleaning lady genuinely couldn't understand her or was pretending not to.
She repeated "help her put on her pants" almost twenty times before the person turned to look at her.
"You can wear it yourself! You can't move your legs, you're not paralyzed! You need me to put on your pants? I don't have time, you can wear them yourself!"
After being directly rejected, Xu Xiuzhen could only continue her efforts, her forehead covered in sweat.
Otherwise, she would have no choice but to not wear it.
Fortunately, the cleaning staff changed the bed sheets quickly.
Unable to put on her pants, she had no choice but to pull the blanket over herself.
Then the cleaning lady kicked a plastic bag containing something on the ground with disgust: "Did you lose this dirty outfit? Or are you waiting for your family to come and wash it for you? I'm definitely not going to wash it for you!"
"It's dripping," Xu Xiuzhen said softly.
Strangely, this time she only had to say it once, and the cleaning lady understood.
They immediately picked up their things, turned around, and walked out.
As he left, he said, "Let me tell you, if you have diarrhea, don't believe a single word you say! Otherwise, you'll end up with more diarrhea! Anyway, I'm warning you upfront."
If you poop again, I'm not coming to wash or change your clothes anymore!
Xu Xiuzhen didn't say anything, and the cleaning lady left.
It took Xu Xiuzhen almost fifty minutes to put her pants on.
I had just lain down, panting heavily, when my stomach started growling.
Xu Xiuzhen frowned, ready for anything. She was terrified that she might actually soil herself again.
Fortunately, this time she managed to keep her distance.
Once the gas in her stomach dissipated, she let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
But... for someone who eats three meals a day regularly, suddenly skipping dinner is really difficult.
She glanced at the cold lunchbox on the bedside table and couldn't help but recall all of this.
Why did she suddenly get diarrhea?
After some investigation... she concluded that there was something wrong with the boxed lunches.
Otherwise, why would eating it cause diarrhea?
Upon careful recollection, Xu Xiuzhen recalled that Huang Min had made a strange expression when she opened the lunchbox.
Only then did she realize that her food had been tampered with!
In a fit of anger, she threw the barely touched lunchbox into the trash can.
She can't do this! She needs someone to take care of her!
So he took out his phone and checked the balance of his mobile wallet and bank cards.
However, reality is often cruel.
All the money she had was two hundred and fifty-six yuan.
