Chapter 130 Mother-in-law's Illness
Once in the car, Xu Qingmin asked seriously, "Guanqun, have you thought it through? Are you willing to accept people occasionally criticizing you like this, or are you willing to go public with it?"
Bai Guanqun kept tugging at the hem of his clothes with his fingers.
"So, Lao Xu, don't you care about the harsh things people say about you online?"
“My company isn’t a publicly listed company, and I’m not a celebrity. It doesn’t matter what people say online. I only care about your feelings.”
After thinking for a moment, Bai Guanqun said to Song Yilin, "Mom, I want to go see Grandma."
I don't know if this matter will affect the two elderly people in Fengxiang Community, but I should go back.
Song Yilin knew that the grandmother Bai Guanqun was referring to was Cai Hong.
After dropping Song Yilin and Bai Guanqun off, Xu Qingmin went to handle company matters.
If Bai Guanqun agrees to make their relationship public, he can immediately hold a press conference.
As soon as Song Yilin entered room 601, she sensed that the atmosphere was a little different.
Only Cai Hong was at home.
Ms. Meng is not here.
"Grandma, isn't my mother home?"
"She must have gone downstairs to take out the trash."
Song Yilin immediately saw through her mother-in-law's lie. Now that they have two nannies taking care of them, they don't need to take out the trash themselves at all.
Bai Guanqun wanted to point it out, but Song Yilin stopped him.
Cai Hong forced a smile: "It's not the weekend, why are you back?"
Now, Song Yilin and her family of three come back almost every weekend.
"I came back because I missed you all."
At this moment, Ms. Meng returned, cursing and swearing; her voice could be heard before she was seen.
"These blabbermouths, I'll tear their mouths apart."
Ms. Meng was taken aback when she saw them, then smiled and said, "You're back?"
It seems this matter has already spread throughout the neighborhood.
It has to be said that Xu Qingya's actions were truly heartless.
There was no need to hide it anymore, so Song Yilin asked Ms. Meng directly, "It's all over the neighborhood, isn't it?"
In this internet age, even the elderly know about it.
Clearly, this matter cannot be resolved simply by removing it from the trending topics list.
Ms. Meng avoided Song Yilin's gaze.
Cai Hong pulled Bai Guanqun aside: "Guanqun, good child, Grandma already knows your feelings. You don't need to worry about Grandma. Grandma will be fine. Even if you don't say anything, what's being said in the neighborhood now might be even worse than if it were said out loud."
Song Yilin's throat tightened slightly: "Mother-in-law."
It turns out that the mother-in-law knew everything. She knew why Song Yilin always let Bai Guanqun take the surname Bai, why she never accepted Xu Qingmin's marriage proposal, and why Bai Guanqun never acknowledged his ancestors in the Xu family.
Cai Hong looked knowing: "Don't hide it from me. I know you haven't revealed Guan Qun's identity because you're afraid I'll be attacked by gossip. But now, just because you don't say anything doesn't mean the gossip will stop. I don't care. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive now."
Cai Hong's eyes reddened as she spoke.
"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I still failed to protect you."
Cai Hong waved her hand: "You've done very well. Every day I live is a bonus. I don't care whether Guan Qun is our Bai family's biological child or not. You are the woman my son loves deeply. I watched Guan Qun grow up. In my heart, she is my own granddaughter. So, don't worry about those superficial things. Don't let the child suffer."
Bai Guanqun stubbornly said, "Grandma, I don't care. I was born into the Bai family, so I will always be a child of the Bai family."
Cai Hong touched Bai Guanqun's face: "Good child, Grandma appreciates your kindness, but it hurts Grandma to see you upset."
Bai Guanqun held Cai Hong in his arms, while Song Yilin gestured to Ms. Meng to go to room 602.
Upon entering room 602, Song Yilin asked Ms. Meng and her aunt questions.
"Is there something wrong with my mother-in-law's health?"
Cai Hong's complexion is noticeably worse than before, and her face is almost devoid of flesh.
Ms. Meng forced a smile: "It's nothing, your mother-in-law has a chronic health problem."
It's likely that Cai Hong warned Ms. Meng against telling her the truth.
Song Yilin turned to her aunt and asked sternly, "Auntie, tell me, how is my mother-in-law's health? You often accompany her to the hospital, so you know best."
The aunt looked up at Ms. Meng.
“You don’t need to look at my mom, just talk to me.”
The aunt stammered, "That's right, the doctor advised your mother-in-law to be hospitalized. They started advising her last month, but she still hasn't been admitted. Her condition is quite serious."
Song Yilin felt a chill in her heart. Although she knew her mother-in-law's health was poor and she had various illnesses, it was still hard for her to accept that her condition had worsened.
"The doctor said that without intervention, he wouldn't live more than three months. More than a month has passed since the doctor said that."
That means my mother-in-law's life was at most a little over a month.
Song Yilin angrily retorted, "What are you waiting for? Take my mother-in-law to the hospital!"
Ms. Meng said quietly, "No need."
"Why aren't you using it anymore?"
“Your mother-in-law is already at the end of her life. The doctor said that intervention and treatment could prolong her life, but who knows if she will die on the operating table. The doctor actually does not recommend treatment. He said to let her eat well and do whatever she wants.”
Song Yilin squatted on the ground in despair because of Ms. Meng's words.
"Have you found a kidney donor?"
However, Song Yilin also knew that finding a kidney donor only treated the kidney-related disease; other diseases remained, and organ transplantation was not an option. She would still need to continue taking insulin.
"We found it, but the doctor doesn't recommend using it on your mother-in-law. She was on the waiting list, but there's a possibility that she might die on the operating table, wasting a kidney."
Song Yilin stopped wasting words with Ms. Meng.
They rushed straight into 601.
“Mother-in-law, I don’t care what you think, you have to have this surgery.”
Bai Guanqun was startled by Song Yilin's sudden change of attitude.
Cai Hong's eyes darted away: "What are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine."
Ms. Meng sat down next to Cai Hong: "Don't resist anymore, I've already told the child."
Bai Guanqun jumped up as well: "Grandma, didn't you say you wanted to see me win the Grand Slam? You can't be hurt before I even start."
Cai Hong sighed and said, "At this time, there are too many people who need kidneys. It would be a waste to give me a kidney. Who knows how much longer I can live? I can't waste such a good kidney."
Song Yilin gritted her teeth and said, "Kidneys are precious to everyone. Who among those who need a kidney transplant is in good health? If they were in good health, what kind of kidney would they need? We didn't pay to cut in line. Since we've been put on the waiting list, it's ours. We don't need any special privileges, so you don't need to feel guilty."
Ms. Meng also said, "Yes, sister, put away your compassion and be a little selfish. That's your life. Can you just give it up?"
“I’m not being compassionate, but I feel that I’ve been taking medication my whole life, and I don’t want to keep taking it forever. Even after a kidney transplant, I still need to take medication. I can’t go anywhere, I can’t do anything, and I’ll just keep being a burden to you.”
But a kidney transplant could mean the end of your life, while without one you only have a month left.
