Zhou Changshun told the police to find Old Man Guan, since he was the son and Old Man Guan was the husband, so it should be Old Man Guan's responsibility to take charge.
The police have understood the situation and told Zhou Changshun to take the old lady away immediately. They said if there is any dispute, he should file a lawsuit and that the elderly cannot be abandoned for any reason.
Helpless, Zhou Changshun went to pick up the old lady and took her back to the rented house. He immediately went to find a lawyer. He wanted to find the best lawyer so that he could get the house back!
I went to several law firms, but no one would take the case. Who would take a case that was bound to be lost?
Around 8 p.m., Zhou Changshun returned to his rented room in a daze. The room was dark, and his wife was at the hospital taking care of their son and had not returned.
When Zhou Changshun turned on the light, he was startled. The old lady was lying stiffly on the kang (a heated brick bed), her eyes wide open and her mouth agape, completely still.
Zhou Changshun was so busy finding a lawyer and dealing with the lawsuit that he forgot about the old lady at home.
Zhou Changshun's hair stood on end. Trembling, he stepped forward, his hands shaking like leaves, and tentatively probed under the old woman's nose...
Zhou Changshun stumbled back several steps, then plopped down on the ground. His eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he retreated in terror, using both hands and feet, until he reached the wall. He shrank back against the wall, too afraid to look at the old woman on the kang (a heated brick bed).
When the old lady was discharged from the hospital, the doctor instructed that she needed oxygen to maintain her vital signs. Zhou Changshun was busy getting a house and had long forgotten about the old lady, let alone the doctor's instructions.
An hour later, Zhou Changshun forced himself to calm down, found a tattered bed sheet to cover the old lady, and left the rented room to make a phone call.
The old lady is gone. No matter what, Old Man Guan should show up.
Zhou Changshun, who could contact Old Man Guan, only knew the host. Over the years, the Li family and Old Man Guan had not had much contact on the surface. Zhou Changshun did not have any contact information for the Li family. He only knew that Li Laosan owned a factory and sold home appliances, but he knew nothing about where the factory was or what brand it was.
The host was a little impatient when he saw Zhou Changshun's call, but he still answered, "Hey, bro, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
Zhou Changshun's voice choked with sobs, trembling with emotion, "Brother, my mother is gone."
The host... she died right after being discharged from the hospital? That's too fast! His first thought was, did Zhou Changshun kill the old lady to force the old man out of prison?
"Brother, my mother has passed away. Could you please help me contact my stepfather and discuss the funeral arrangements?" Zhou Changshun said before the host could even speak.
The host said... this guy isn't even going to act anymore.
"Brother, please accept my condolences. If I remember correctly, the agreement stated that you would be responsible for everything from birth to death, right?"
“I’ll take full responsibility. My mom has been with my stepfather for so many years, so he should come and see her one last time, no matter what,” Zhou Changshun said eagerly.
Host: "Let me contact him and see what Grandpa Guan has to say."
Zhou Changshun choked back tears, "Brother, you must find a way to get my stepfather to come. We can't let my mother leave with regrets."
The host... is already gone, no one can bring him back. Let the regrets go with them.
After Sister Liu massaged Old Man Guan's bad leg and washed him, the elderly couple were just about to go to sleep when Old Man Guan's phone rang.
"Who's calling so late?" Old Guan muttered. Seeing that it was the host calling again, Old Guan frowned. Something must be wrong so late at night.
