When a child gets into trouble, the father has to clean up the mess. After the funeral, Han Shiyong bowed deeply to the Han family and sincerely said that it was all because he had failed to raise his son properly that his son had caused such a disaster. His father had already passed away, and there was no point in saying anything more. But his mother was still alive, and he would take on the responsibility of caring for his paralyzed mother.
Yu Xiuping opened her mouth but said nothing.
If it were according to her usual style, she definitely wouldn't agree to let her mother-in-law take in and care for her. The old lady had five sons; even if one died early, there were still four left. Why should her family be the only ones to support her now that she's paralyzed?
But now that her son has caused such a huge disaster, Han Yunyue bears a large part of the responsibility for the old lady's current predicament.
She ultimately didn't dare to speak.
The Han brothers remained silent until the eldest, Han Shigang, finally spoke up: "Mom is in such a condition that she needs someone to take care of her 24 hours a day. None of our families have that kind of free time, so why don't we all chip in some money to hire a professional caregiver? That way, Mom can receive better care."
After he said this, none of the brothers had any objections.
In their small city, a caregiver who looks after a paralyzed elderly person can earn three to five thousand yuan a month. Among the brothers, except for the eldest brother's family which is in a worse situation, the other families don't care about this amount of money.
Moreover, Grandma Han's own pension is enough to cover her expenses. Although she is paralyzed, she is still alive and can still receive her pension every month.
Hiring a nanny to take care of things definitely saves a lot of trouble.
When this matter was discussed, everyone in the Han family was present. Although Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi were the most capable in the family, they were still the juniors at this family gathering. The two were well aware of their status and knew that with all the elders present, it was not their turn to take the lead.
If the two of them were to step forward now and take on the responsibility of caring for Grandma Han, it wouldn't be a demonstration of filial piety, but rather a slap in the face to all the elders.
Han Yunlong, Han Yunsheng, and Han Yunzhen remained silent and acted like quails the whole time, keeping their heads down.
This is also a tradition in the Han family. In fact, Han Shigang's family has had the hardest time. Liu Xuemei doesn't work. When she was young, she could do odd jobs to supplement the family income, but now she's old and in poor health, and can't work anymore. Han Shigang was an ordinary worker when he was young, and he doesn't have much money after retirement. Not only does his son's family still live together after getting married, but he also remembers that he owes his third son's family 300,000 yuan.
Despite this, when Han Shiyong offered to take care of Grandma Han, he didn't immediately agree. As the eldest son, he felt ashamed to let his second son's wife take on the responsibility of caring for their elderly mother. His suggestion to share the cost of hiring a caregiver among the brothers stemmed from the fact that his own family simply couldn't afford it independently.
Tang Xiaoxiao was unaware of what happened next. After the funeral, they left K City.
These past few days, Tang Xiaoxiao and Han's mother have been taking turns caring for the twins. The children are still too young, so they haven't dared to let them know what happened. Han's father and Han Yunqi have been at the hospital with their grandfather since he was hospitalized, and then they were busy with various funeral arrangements. So Tang Xiaoxiao and Guo Mingli take turns delivering meals to the father and sons every day, leaving one of them to take care of the two children. Fortunately, the twins are very sensible. When Tang Xiaoxiao told them that their great-grandparents were sick and needed someone to accompany them because of their age, the twins stopped crying and making a fuss, and stayed at the hotel to play by themselves every day.
The family didn't start their journey home until everything was finished.
Because of what had happened, everyone was in a heavy mood and had no desire to laugh or joke along the way.
