Yan Junting nodded, remaining quite calm.
Actually, if he were to take a step back and think about it, even if he were truly half-paralyzed, the situation wouldn't be the worst. His biggest worry before was that Yan Gusheng's life might not be saved.
If that's the case, we just need to arrange the follow-up matters properly.
As long as the person is still alive, it's already a blessing.
In fact, not only Yan Junting, but everyone thought the same way, except for Yun Duoduo.
Because Yun Duoduo remembered Doubao's words, she was very worried about whether Wu Chunlan would be willing to take care of Yan Gusheng, and whether she would take good care of him.
Because, as soon as she arrived at the hospital and heard what the doctor said, she kept observing Wu Chunlan's reaction.
She felt that Wu Chunlan was probably just like Doubao had said—that she couldn't share hardships with Yan Gusheng.
In reality, Wu Chunlan's personality was never good; it was just that her relationship with Yun Duoduo, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, was okay because Duoduo had saved her life.
In addition, since Yun Duoduo got married, the Yun family's life has been smooth sailing, and she has naturally restrained many of her bad habits.
But this time, it concerned her own interests, so she naturally wouldn't tolerate it anymore.
Sure enough, after Yan Junting finished speaking, she turned around and asked him, "Junting, have you thought about what will happen if your father really can't move anymore?"
"He can't walk, he can't move, and he even needs help with his bodily functions. Who will take care of him then?"
Yan Junting frowned slightly at Wu Chunlan's question.
Is there even a question? If it's really about taking care of the child, of course Wu Chunlan should be the one to do it. She's the right person for the child.
They all have to go to work.
However, Yan Junting didn't say much, only saying, "Besides, that's really the situation. There's nothing we can do. Who told our father to get this illness?"
Hearing this, Yan Qiuting nodded, "Yes, at least our family is doing better now. Even if you and Dad don't work, we can still make ends meet."
“That’s right, let’s prepare for the worst.” Yan Junting glanced at Wu Chunlan and began to explain his plans.
“If my dad really told the doctor that he can’t move below the waist, then you don’t need to go back to your hometown. You can stay in Kyoto. We will give you your living expenses on time every month. Mom, you don’t need to do any work. Just take good care of my dad.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, thinking that Yan Junting's arrangement was quite good.
After all, there's not much else that can be done when an elderly person gets this illness.
What needs to be done now is to solve the problems that follow.
It's not as bad as I thought; after all, the person is still alive.
Immediately, Yan Qiuting also stepped forward and said, "Big brother, if that's the case, then I'll give the family more living expenses each month. I'll give them twenty yuan a month."
“I’ll give you twenty too.” Yan Honglan nodded immediately.
Twenty yuan a month, if you heard that in the countryside, that's a lot of money.
However, this doesn't pose a major problem for Yan Qiuting and Yan Honglan at present.
Especially considering their father's condition, they didn't even care about such a small amount of money.
Moreover, the eldest brother and sister-in-law never held their adoptive parents accountable.
Naturally, they won't shirk their responsibilities now that they're here.
Yan Junting was very pleased with his younger brother and sister's attitude. When problems arose, the family thought about solving them together instead of arguing, which was the best approach.
He smiled and glanced at the two of them. "Since you've both said so, how can I give you less?"
After saying that, he glanced at Yun Duoduo beside him. They were husband and wife, so he definitely needed to ask for Duoduo's consent.
Yun Duoduo had no objection; contributing a little more money would give the elderly some working capital, which wasn't a bad thing.
However, she was worried about Wu Chunlan's attitude, so she looked at her and asked, "Mother, is this decision acceptable?"
“You and Dad will stay in Kyoto from now on. I’ll find you a place. And each of the three of us siblings will give you twenty yuan for living expenses.”
"If you have more, just save it; if you have less, just tell us." Of course, the amount of money will definitely not be less. For two elderly people, the monthly living expenses of sixty yuan can be more than half if they go back to China.
As soon as Yun Duoduo finished speaking, Yan Junting continued, "As for Dongdong, you can take care of him too. As for his expenses, I will cover them. I promise to make sure he finishes his studies."
In fact, Yan Junting and Yun Duoduo's words really laid out a very good plan for what would happen next.
It could be said that this was even easier than the days Wu Chunlan and the others had spent in the countryside.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Chunlan was not happy at all. After a moment of silence, she suddenly shouted at Yan Junting, "I told you in the county town that we would treat him there. If he couldn't be cured, we would just give up. But you insisted on bringing him to the capital, and now he's half-dead. You're the one who's hurting me."
At this moment, Wu Chunlan was not only unhappy, but even hysterically shouted, "You all know how difficult it is to take care of someone who is partially paralyzed. They soil themselves and can't move an inch. Do I really have to serve them like a servant? I..."
In truth, she knew she had gone too far with what she said, but the thought of having to take care of someone who would be bedridden for a long time was unbearable.
She gritted her teeth and said what was on her mind, "I can't do this job. If you really want to be filial, then you can hire someone from outside to take care of your father. You're making money in Kyoto now, so you don't need the money."
No one expected Wu Chunlan to react this way, at least not the three Yan siblings.
After a moment of stunned silence, Yan Junting asked Wu Chunlan, "Bring someone back to take care of my father? Mother, what are you going to do then?"
"I..." Wu Chunlan couldn't say anything for a moment, and stammered, "I, I'll take care of Dongdong, and do some laundry and cooking. Did you think there was no work to be done at home before your father was paralyzed?"
“In short, I can’t take care of your father, I don’t know how to take care of people, I…” Wu Chunlan couldn’t finish her sentence.
In short, the thought of having to clean up Yan Gusheng's excrement and urine made her extremely uncomfortable, and she felt like she wanted to die.
She never imagined such a thing would happen.
She was thinking that now that her children were grown up and sent her living expenses every month, she had no worries about food or clothing, and she didn't even want to do farming anymore.
Previously, it was Yan Gusheng who disagreed, so she was forced to stay home and do the chores.
Now they want her to take care of someone? Of course she'd agree.
After confirming Wu Chunlan's reaction, Yan Qiuting exclaimed, "Mother, why are you like this? Are you implying that you dislike my father and don't want to take care of him?"
"I..." Wu Chunlan couldn't explain, so she simply admitted it. She said irritably, "I don't know how to say it, but I don't agree to take care of your father."
