Although Hua Kai didn't have a deep relationship with Hua Chongzhi, the old man was quite pitiful at the moment, and she didn't want to argue with a sick person.
In the past, she sat next to Hua Zhongzhi and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, it'll be fine after an operation."
Hua Chongzhi wiped away his tears and said, "I'm scared. I'm afraid I'll be paralyzed in the future. What will I do if I become paralyzed?"
"It's okay, the orthopedic clinic in the city is very famous, I guarantee everything will be fine, don't worry. But you can't eat anything before the surgery, so you'll have to bear with it."
“I can’t eat now. I only realized who I could rely on when I got sick. Your second uncle didn’t come at all. Your third and fourth uncles came but didn’t stay in this ward. Your dad and your brother are the ones who can help me urinate. I really regret how I treated your family before. My child, Grandpa regrets it.” Hua Zhongzhi is now truly regretful. He only realized this when facing death.
Hua Kai sighed and said, "Grandpa, let's not talk about the past. But before your surgery, Dad and I have to leave for a while. You know what Grandma is thinking. If we're here, we're bound to have some verbal conflicts with her, which could affect your entry into the operating room. But don't worry, Dad and I are near the hospital. We won't go far. My brother is here, so he can come to us if anything happens. We'll come back as soon as your surgery starts, so you won't be bothered by anything happening outside while you're in the operating room. Don't worry, I won't abandon you."
Hua Zhongzhi was silent for a while, then nodded: "I understand. Your grandma is sure she wants you to spend money. In the end, you might even have to take care of me. What have I been doing all these years? You don't need to be here for a while. After my surgery, I'm afraid I'll be a burden to your family even more."
"Grandpa, don't say that. Anyway, we promise to take care of you. But you know I'm the one who nurses them, so we have to hide when we need to," Hua Kai said helplessly.
Hua Chongzhi finally realized the truth this time. He said, "Well, I heard that this surgery costs three thousand, but your grandmother and I have saved more than two thousand yuan for our funeral expenses over the years. I'd like to see how much she can come up with this time. If she can come up with that money, it won't actually cost you much."
“My grandma didn’t say that, so I calculated it based on four sons, with each son receiving an average of 800.”
"This old lady is really cunning. To be honest, I'm not sure what she'll do. I really don't trust her at all right now."
Hua Kai sighed and said, "Anyway, we don't know the exact amount of the money, but we won't skimp on what our family is supposed to pay. If they don't care about you, our family will, so don't worry, sir."
Hua Zhongzhi sighed and fell silent.
Of course, what Hua Zhongzhi didn't know was that Zheng Shuzhen had more in mind than he thought. She didn't take out all two thousand yuan; she still needed to keep some for herself. So she took out one thousand one hundred and gave five hundred to her second brother, Hua Wanhe, and three hundred each to her third brother, Hua Wanhu, and her fourth brother, Hua Wanhai. She left the rest for them to decide.
Besides Hua Wanhe, the other two families also had some savings, and they could afford to come up with 500. So they had almost raised the money. They were just thinking that they would try to get Hua Wanjiang and Hua Kai to pay for it, and they would still be able to take their own money back.
Hua Wanhe couldn't come up with 800 in the end, so he just scraped together 100. Adding the 500 Zheng Shuzhen gave him, he made a total of 600. He calculated it quite clearly. The total was 3,000. The four people each got 800, which was 3,200. So he only needed to give 600 to make 3,000.
At this moment, Hua Wanhu and Hua Wanhai returned after finishing breakfast. They had slept well and eaten well at a nearby inn the night before, and came in with rosy cheeks and the smell of freshly made chive dumplings.
Upon entering the house and seeing Hua Kai, the two were naturally quite happy. Although they didn't know about the opportunities back home, knowing that Hua Kai was here meant they would have someone to take care of things, making their lives easier. This caregiver wasn't so bad; they ate and drank well, and yesterday they even strolled along the main road and looked at the tall buildings.
Hua Kai greeted the two men as "Third Uncle" and "Fourth Uncle".
At this moment, Hua Qingyi also came in and said to Hua Wanhu and Hua Wanhai, "Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle, why are you only coming back now? Where have you been?"
Hua Wanhu, speaking from the prepared statement he had prepared with Hua Wanhai, said, "Your fourth uncle and I were feeling down, so we went for a walk. We got lost and ended up falling asleep under a bridge. We just found you."
Hua Kai looked at the two men, who were clean and had rosy complexions, and said, "Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle, there's not a speck of dust on you, and you even smell like chive dumplings. Do you believe what you're saying? My dad didn't sleep much last night. I just asked Captain Ye to take him somewhere to catch up on his sleep. He'll be back in a bit. I'm going out to buy some daily necessities for Grandpa. He'll need to be hospitalized after the surgery, and there are a lot of things he'll need."
Hua Wanhu, hearing that Hua Kai was going to buy things, had no reason to disagree. It was better than him having to spend money himself: "Okay, go ahead, and come back soon."
Hua Kai said, "I'm going to the department store. I'm not sure when I'll arrive, so I'll hurry." Then she said to Hua Zhongzhi, "Master, I'll head out now."
Hua Zhongzhi nodded: "Then you can't just abandon me." His words were also loaded with meaning; he was very uncertain about himself right now, but he also knew that he couldn't ask for too much.
Hua Kai said to Hua Zhongzhi, "Master, my brother is here. He'll come to me if anything happens, so don't worry."
Hua Chongzhi watched the flowers bloom and fade away with reluctance.
Hua Qingyi escorted Hua Kai to the door and told her that Ye Yifan had taken his father to the Friendship Hotel next to the hospital, and that Hua Kai could just go there to find them.
