Her words reassured Yan Gusheng somewhat.
In Yan Gusheng's current view, he would rather trouble his wife than his children, because all of them need to work.
After a pause, Wu Chunlan continued to persuade Yan Gusheng, "But we can't go back. Think about it, if we really go back, what if something happens to you? How can I take care of you by myself? And then we'll have to rush the children back, which will only delay their work even more."
"You have no idea how much effort Jun Ting and the others put into bringing you to Kyoto this time. If it weren't for Duo Duo's family here, you wouldn't have made it to Kyoto so quickly."
“We even used military aircraft. Just think how much trouble Jun Ting and his team went through.”
"I..." Yan Gusheng's eyes widened. He hadn't expected his illness to be so serious this time.
It seems he really doesn't know what to do.
He knew very well that if he insisted on going back, the children would definitely be worried.
If I have to come back every three to five days, it will be even more troublesome.
Seeing that he was moved, Yan Junting also tried to persuade him, "Father, the trouble is not the most important thing. The important thing is you. Your illness can only be cured here in Kyoto. If you go back home, your health will only get worse."
Yan Gusheng looked at Yan Junting, slowly shook his head, and said with great concern, "Junting, it doesn't really matter if your father really dies. Your father doesn't want to cause you any trouble. It's too much trouble for you to find us a place to stay. The food and supplies are all expensive."
Yun Duoduo knew that this was indeed Yan Gusheng's biggest worry. Yan Gusheng had always been a devoted father; he could give everything for his children, but he was unwilling to cause them any trouble.
Yun Duoduo then stepped in to comfort him, "Dad, don't worry, I've arranged everything. The three of us siblings are not like before; we all have jobs with decent wages, which is more than enough to take care of you."
The others immediately nodded in agreement, echoing Yun Duoduo's words, "Yes, if you really insist on going back, how can we work in peace here?"
Yan Gusheng fell silent, staring blankly at the ceiling of the ward. He was also in a difficult position.
It's obvious that Wu Chunlan doesn't want to take care of him; what can he do?
Yan Junting immediately noticed Yan Gusheng's worries. After thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea: "How about this, if my mother really can't take care of you, then we'll hire someone else to take care of you. Let my mother go out and find some work to supplement your living expenses."
Upon hearing this, Yan Gusheng looked at Wu Chunlan. He thought it would be fine if Wu Chunlan was willing to find work.
Previously, he didn't want to drag anyone down, including Wu Chunlan, but Wu Chunlan's attitude just now made him realize something.
Wu Chunlan is too selfish. No matter how good you are to her, she always puts herself first.
So, letting her go out and find some work can lighten the burden on her children, which isn't a bad thing.
Wu Chunlan, on the other hand, started working at high speed after hearing Yan Junting's words.
Should she choose to stay home to take care of Yan Gusheng, or should she go out to work?
Taking care of Yan Gusheng at home must be dirty and tiring.
Going out to work might be tiring, but she can contribute as much of the money she earns as she wants. As for household expenses, she shouldn't need to contribute anything.
The money given to me by my several children is definitely more than enough for living expenses.
By then, she can save her money; it's always good to have money in hand.
Especially now, given Yan Gusheng's physical condition, she doesn't know how long he can hold on. She also has to think about what will happen if Yan Gusheng doesn't make it and she's all alone.
But she couldn't make up her mind, so she simply asked Yan Gusheng, "Honey, tell me, if you want me to stay home, I'll stay home; if you want me to go out and work, I'll go out and work. I'll listen to you."
"Otherwise, you'll say I don't want to take care of you later."
After that, she added, "Even if I do go to work, the money I earn will be for our retirement. I won't have any ulterior motives; we're already this old."
Yan Gusheng wasn't stupid, and having spent most of his life with Wu Chunlan, he instantly understood what she meant.
Although disappointed, she still nodded. "Jun Ting, Duo Duo, then let your mother go out to work. Keep an eye out for suitable jobs for her."
After saying that, he glanced at himself and said calmly, "As for me, whether or not I need someone to take care of me, we'll talk about that after I'm discharged from the hospital. If I'm discharged and my condition is better, I might be able to take care of myself."
Of course, this is what Yan Junting and his team most want to see, but they will definitely need to hire people in the early stages.
Regardless, Yan Junting and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yan Gusheng was willing to stay in Kyoto, and they agreed as well.
Although the current situation seems troublesome, let's take it slow.
Soon, a doctor came and examined Yan Gusheng again, and the results were the same as before; he was basically in the same condition.
The doctor moved Yan Junting to a regular ward.
Everything was settled by then it was already afternoon.
Yan Gusheng looked at his children and waved to them, "Jun Ting, Qiu Ting, Duo Duo, Hong Lan, you all worked hard last night, go back to sleep and let your mother take care of me here."
Wu Chunlan readily agreed this time, saying, "Yes, I'll stay here. You all go back and rest, don't let it interfere with your work."
Yan Junting looked at them and shook his head slightly, "You can't manage here alone."
Because Wu Chunlan was unfamiliar with the hospital, and for the time being, she couldn't properly take care of Yan Gusheng's bodily functions, such as urination and defecation, on her own.
The next moment, Yan Qiuting stepped forward and asked Yun Duoduo, "Sister-in-law, is the factory busy? Can I take a few days off to stay here?"
Before anyone could say anything more, Yan Qiuting said, "My brother is an officer in the military, he can't keep taking leave."
“Honglan is the tailor who oversees the factory, and no one can replace her. As for my work, sister-in-law, you can help out, even if it's a bit of a hassle.”
In that case, it is indeed more appropriate for Yan Qiuting to stay here, because no one else can replace Yan Junting and Yan Honglan in their work, and it would be inconvenient for Yun Duoduo, who is a daughter-in-law.
Everyone agreed, but Wu Chunlan asked, "Qiu Ting, we don't know when your father will be discharged from the hospital. If you take leave, how much of your salary will be deducted?"
Yun Duoduo wasn't sure if Wu Chunlan's question was intentional or unintentional, but she replied, "Don't worry, Mom, the factory is mine. Since Qiu Ting is doing this to take care of Dad and also to help ease our burden, his wages will be paid normally."
Hearing this, Wu Chunlan was relieved and immediately nodded, "Then, that's fine. Let Qiu Ting take care of it here."
Yan Qiuting frowned slightly upon hearing this, but remained silent.
With Yan Qiuting here, Yan Junting and Yun Duoduo felt a little more at ease, no longer worried that Wu Chunlan would lack patience when taking care of Yan Gusheng.
