Huo Yanping, who was standing nearby, was also a little annoyed. The old lady and the old man usually liked to come to her house, which was separated by two courtyards. If something happened in the future, her house would always be used by them.
Wang Min, Hua Wanhu's wife, breathed a sigh of relief. Since her family lived in the countryside, they wouldn't cause her too much trouble.
Of course, upon hearing the word "paralysis," Hua Wanhai knew the seriousness of the situation. If he were truly paralyzed, he and his wife would have to take care of the old man's bodily functions every day, a thought that made him feel disgusted and uncomfortable.
Hua Qingyi sighed deeply, feeling utterly contemptuous of these people's faces.
But no one was paying attention to him now, so he said he was going to the toilet and went out to inform his father and sister.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Hua Qingyi asked the front desk for the room number. Hua Kai had left a message with the front desk beforehand, so Hua Qingyi was able to get the room number and went upstairs.
Hua Kai heard the knocking and quickly went to open the door: "How is it?"
Hua Qingyi said, "Grandpa has been in the operating room for half an hour. The doctor said it will take three hours."
Hua Wanjiang also got up: "Then I'd better hurry over there."
Hua Qingyi said, "Okay, anyway, the money that needs to be paid has been paid, and the documents that need to be signed have been signed, so there's nothing to worry about now."
Hua Kai also put on a cotton-padded coat: "I'll go over there too."
As they walked, Hua Qingyi told Hua Wanjiang and Hua Kai about what had just happened.
Hua Wanjiang said, "Your grandfather can only feel at ease seeing us after coming out of the operating room."
Hua Kai said, "Yes, my grandfather seems to have finally come to his senses this time."
Hua Qingyi sighed: "What's the use of waking up? You can't take back what you've given up. If it were me, I'd probably be heartbroken."
Hua Kai said, "Adults must take responsibility for their actions. It's not that I didn't understand that he was wrong before, but in the end, it was because he was selfish."
“That’s true. If Grandpa becomes paralyzed, he’ll probably have to rely on our family even more in the future,” Hua Qingyi added.
Hua Kai smiled and shook her head: "Hope is possible, but they are too ashamed to send Grandpa to our house, so those families will have a lot of trouble in the future."
Hua Wanjiang said, "They all still have a sense of shame. If they really abandon your grandfather, the villagers will drown them in their spittle. But they promise not to take good care of him. We'll have to visit him more often in the future."
As they were talking, they returned to the hospital.
When they arrived at the waiting hall in front of the operating room, Zheng Shuzhen saw Hua Wanjiang, and all her resentment came out. She stood up and walked towards Hua Wanjiang: "Hua Wanjiang, this is your own father! He's having surgery, and you're not even waiting at the door to watch over him."
Hua Wanjiang said to Zheng Shuzhen, "I stayed up all night yesterday. The third and fourth sons went out to find a place to sleep and came back this morning after eating and drinking their fill. Why didn't you say they were heartless? Now that there are so many of you here, can't I take a break? Filial piety is not something to be done for others to see or say to others."
These words silenced Zheng Shuzhen. She knew her son well, and what Hua Wanjiang said was probably true.
She didn't know when it started, but this boss had become so assertive and no longer allowed herself to be suppressed by her.
At this moment, a nurse came over and said, "No loud noises outside the operating room."
They all quieted down again.
Hua Wanjiang, Hua Kai, and Hua Qingyi sat in the back row of chairs, looking at the operating room lights, waiting for the surgery to end.
Zheng Shuzhen sat in front, sighing repeatedly. Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to do. She just wanted to vent to someone, but she couldn't find anyone.
The rest of the people sat there, each with their own thoughts.
At noon, Ye Yifan came again and went straight to Hua Kai and the others. He quietly asked Hua Kai how Grandpa was doing.
Hua Kai said she was still in surgery and didn't know the specifics.
Ye Yifan handed the dumplings she had bought to Hua Qingyi: "Share them with everyone."
Hua Qingyi agreed, took the dumplings over, and gave each person a box.
Zheng Shuzhen and the others didn't thank Ye Yifan, because they couldn't count on him anyway, so why bother being polite? He brought them dumplings for Huakai and them, so what was there to thank him for?
Of course, Ye Yifan didn't need them to thank him. He had indeed come specifically for Hua Kai and the others. Today was a special day, so he brought them a treat. After all, they were Hua Kai's elders, and besides, the old man was undergoing surgery inside, which was a very special time.
Ye Yifan ignored them, opened the remaining insulated lunchbox in her hand, and said to Hua Kai, "I brought you some porridge, have some to warm yourself up."
Hua Kai did feel cold sitting there: "You really understand me, thank you." She said, taking a sip from the insulated bowl.
Ye Yifan said, "Have something to eat first, and when Grandpa comes out later, you can take your dad and your brother out to eat something hot."
Hua Kai said, "That's good. I wonder what else will happen later."
"How about I ask for the afternoon off?"
"No need, look at these ten or so people, that's enough."
Hua Wanjiang said to Ye Yifan, "Xiao Fan, don't worry about it. These dumplings have solved a lot of problems for us. Otherwise, we would all be starving."
As Zheng Shuzhen ate her dumplings, she cursed Ye Yifan and Hua Kai in her heart. What a pair of scoundrels! They could never have anything good to do. Otherwise, why would they care so much about Hua Kai? They're both shameless. Hmm, these dumplings have a lot of meat in them, and they taste pretty good.
Hua Wanhe's mouth was greasy from eating, but he didn't expect the food to be so good.
However, Hua Wanhai and his wife had no appetite. The thought of having to take care of the old man's bodily functions in the future made them anxious. Even if he recovered, they would still need to take care of him for at least half a year. They really couldn't stand it but had no other choice.
Around one o'clock, Hua Kai saw Ye Yifan downstairs and told him to go back to work. Her family and affairs were in a mess, and she didn't want Ye Yifan to stay and cause her headaches. Besides, what came next didn't involve money or responsibility, so it was up to people's hearts.
After Ye Yifan left, Hua Kai sat next to Hua Wanjiang without saying anything, still looking at the operating room light, waiting for Hua Zhongzhi to come out.
The operating room lights went out shortly after, and Hua Kai and the others went forward.
The doctor came out, took off his mask, and said to Zheng Shuzhen, "The surgery was very successful, but the injured area is the waist. How well it will recover depends on the patient's physical condition. In addition, the patient is older, so the rehabilitation time may be very long. The family should be prepared."
These words weighed heavily on the hearts of both Hua Wanhai and Hua Wanhe's families, for their burdens would soon become much heavier.
Zheng Shuzhen was happy to hear that the surgery was successful. After all, Hua Zhongzhi was alive, and she would have a companion. A husband and wife in their youth are companions in their old age. However, she was still a little worried about Hua Zhongzhi. Of course, after worrying, she also thought about the burden that Hua Zhongzhi had brought to her son.
Hua Wanjiang and Hua Kai were relieved after hearing the doctor's words. At least the old man wasn't paralyzed. They quickly went to see Hua Zhongzhi, who had just been wheeled out by the nurse.
However, Hua Zhongzhi was still unconscious due to the effects of the anesthesia.
The nurse said we had to spend the night in the intensive care unit, so we were wheeled directly there.
