Zhou Quan was stuck and had no idea what to do. "This won't work, that won't work. Are we just going to let your grandfather suffer like this?"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "This is the result of his own actions. I have no choice but to accept it. You stay with your father! I'll go cook."
Zhou Xiang picked up the basket that fell on the ground and went into the kitchen. The old man was a trouble. Only when he was gone would his aunt-in-law be at peace.
My family's life has finally calmed down and started to get better. I will not allow anyone to ruin it. If my father feels sorry for his father, he can just stay and take care of him. If he brings him back, wouldn't that be ordering my elder brother, second sister and myself?
Zhou Quan entered the old man's room and said, "Father, we can't do what you ask. You should sue me! The court can see my family's situation and at most they can order me to pay some money."
"You, are, afraid, think about it."
"Yes, I am afraid. I am afraid that I will end up like you, so I am willing to listen to her. I believe in my daughter. If I don't oppose her, protect her a little, and go along with her, she will definitely not let my old age end up like you."
The old man was in a trance, and his second son had always been insignificant, but now he sees things more clearly than he does.
"Do you ask her if she has a method?"
Zhou Quan was stunned. What did that mean? Seeing his father's anxious look, he had no choice but to go find his daughter.
Zhou Xiang smiled when he heard this. "He's asking me what he should do now to survive and live longer. When people get old, they're afraid of death. They still want to live, even if life is worse than death."
Zhou Quan looked at his daughter expectantly.
Zhou thought about it and said, "Let grandpa ask the company to step in. None of the three companies will get involved. The company will hire a nanny, and grandpa's salary will also be given to the company for management. If grandpa passes away, the rest will be distributed as an inheritance.
Divide the yard with a wall and send Uncle San away, and everything will be peaceful."
Zhou Quan immediately went to report to the old man, and the old man's gloomy eyes brightened up. This is a good idea. Don't rely on any of the three companies, and no one will blame anyone else.
If they disagree, they will sue the three families for being unfilial. As long as the eldest family wants to marry their son off, they will definitely agree. Others can understand the situation of the second family, and the third family is just right for separation, so out of sight, out of mind!
Seeing his father nod, Zhou Quan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his father didn't make a fuss about going to the market town, it would be fine.
Although Zhou Xiang in the kitchen felt sorry for the old man, he believed that there must be something hateful about every pitiful person, and it was all his own fault.
I smuggled an egg, mixed it with two ordinary eggs, steamed an egg custard, added soy sauce and sesame oil, and took it to the old man's room.
"Dad, help Grandpa up, tuck the quilt behind his back, and feed him some egg custard."
Zhou Quan was in a panic, and Zhou Xiang had no choice but to step forward to help, "You hold grandpa, I'll roll up the quilt."
The quilt was rolled up and tucked behind the grandfather, and another quilt was brought to hold it tightly. The old man leaned against the quilt, eating the egg custard fed by his second son, and tears flowed down his face again.
Zhou Xiang was furious when he saw this, "What? Touched? Regretful? It's too late.
Now you should eat well and turn over frequently. When you have a nanny in the future, ask her to turn you over more often, and follow her to push. With more practice, maybe you can slowly turn over by yourself, and you won't get bedsores."
After being scolded by his granddaughter, the old man suddenly felt that he could still live with a goal. His current goal was to train himself to be able to turn things around.
Before he knew it, he had finished a bowl of egg custard, but the old man was still not satisfied.
"Dad, give me the bowl. You sit and watch Grandpa for a while, digest it, and then lie down. If you lie down all the time, you won't have any appetite if you don't digest it."
Around noon, Zhou Ming came back with Zhou Kai. "Zhou Xing, is the meal ready?"
Zhou Xiang walked out the door, leaned against the door frame and looked at him with a half-smile, "It seems that Third Uncle and Auntie have reached some agreement and kept my father in the dark."
Zhou Ming saw that it was Zhou Xiang who came out. He turned around and saw his second brother standing at the old man's door. He smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no, I just don't have time to cook, so I asked Zhou Xing to help me."
Zhou Quan didn't believe it and walked over to him. "Look into my eyes when you speak. Zhou Xing has already forbidden her to come. Why is she here? Where's Zhou Jun? Did you agree to let him go back?"
My father is covered in a large quilt covered in feces and urine. Is this the result of your supervision? Have you reached an agreement with my sister-in-law to leave her alone in exchange for your family's food expenses? The company has come to see for themselves. What do you think? My father plans to sue all three of us. What are your thoughts?
Zhou Ming was forced back to the wall by his second brother. "I, I..."
"What are you talking about? You are no longer qualified to say anything. I can't even supervise you properly, let alone serve you properly.
So, just wait and see what the company has to say. My father, a veteran comrade who participated in the Huaihai Campaign, has been treated like this by you. The company won't listen to any of your opinions anymore."
Zhou Ming picked up his son and hurried out the door. Zhou wanted to give his father a thumbs up and say good job, and also give his third uncle a signal in advance, letting his third uncle know that the people in the company would not give up.
In fact, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and it is not easy for the company to force the family. However, if grandpa has a request, the company will support it.
After lunch, Zhou Xiang cooked another small bowl of noodles and said, "You go feed Grandpa. He can only eat small meals frequently and soft, easily digestible food."
"good."
Zhou Quan carried the noodles into the old man's room. The old man felt relieved when he saw half a bowl of noodles cooked like porridge, but it was a pity that the second son's family was unwilling to take him in.
After everything was packed up, the eldest aunt brought Zhou Jun and Zhou Ying, and the third uncle brought the third aunt and Zhou Kai into the yard one after another.
Zhou Quan looked at the two families coldly, especially Ye Xiu who was about to bring them to justice.
"Don't try to strike first. If you make a scene, everyone will be embarrassed. Just stay quiet. I'll call the company. Father is the only one who has the final say on what to do. He's the person involved, and he knows what it feels like."
"I'll go! Dad, you look after grandpa."
Zhou wanted to go by himself, not wanting to face such a hypocritical crowd.
"Think about it, I'll go with you." Zhou Jun stepped forward.
"Okay, let's go together."
As soon as he left the yard, Zhou Jun immediately explained, "My family is in a hurry to do farm work, so I'm going back for a few days."
Zhou Xiang looked at him strangely. "Why are you explaining this to me? He's my father's father. It's up to him to decide what to do. My family only hopes to make arrangements for Grandpa and won't get involved in anything else."
"I know my second uncle trusts you now, and he listens to what you say."
"Even if he can listen, so what? He's his father, and he's responsible for his retirement. I have no right to cross the line."
Zhou Jun didn't give up, "You don't want to persuade your second uncle, so are you planning to take grandpa to your house?"
"You should ask your second uncle. This matter has nothing to do with me. If he is willing, he can come here to serve."
