"Mother, why are you here?" Jiang Jinxiu returned to the ward and saw Yang Dongmei sitting by the bed, looking at Gu Dashan with great joy.
Yang Dongmei was deeply moved when she saw Jiang Jinxiu carrying a basin of water back.
"You silly child, you came back and didn't go home first, but came to see your father-in-law first. You are so thoughtful."
"Mother, I was just passing by on my way back. I originally planned to visit Father before going home. Are you both doing well at home?"
"Okay, all is well."
Yang Dongmei responded with a smile. She had really missed her third daughter-in-law after not seeing her for a while.
She was just about to hold her hand and chat for a while.
Jiang Jinxiu placed a towel in her hand: "Mom, you've come at the right time. Help Dad wipe his body. I don't need to call Nurse Chen. I have to go out for a bit."
After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for Yang Dongmei to say anything more.
Yang Dongmei watched her retreating figure, somewhat puzzled. Then, glancing at the towel in her hand, she snapped out of her daze and chuckled softly.
This girl.
Well, it's been a long time since she helped her old man bathe, so she'll give him a proper bath this time.
She got up, closed the door, and drew the curtains before helping Gu Dashan undress and wipe his body.
Jiang Jinxiu, having left the hospital, was wandering aimlessly on the street.
She walked unconsciously to Hanlin Street before realizing that she seemed to have forgotten to inform Wu Wen when she left.
She didn't leave him any information, nor did she continue to supply him with goods, and she didn't even know if he still remembered her.
After all, she's been gone for almost a month.
She walked into the deserted alley, changed back into her previous ugly duckling outfit, and went to No. 18, Lane 6, Hanlin Street, and knocked on the door.
Coincidentally, it was Wu Wen, dressed with a full beard, who opened the door.
"Yue girl, you..." Wu Wen looked at the ugly girl in front of him with surprise, feeling both delighted and surprised.
Jiang Jinxiu said apologetically, "Brother Mosquito, I'm sorry, I was away on a trip for a while and forgot to tell you. We have more stock tomorrow, do you still want it? Same as usual, but this time there will be more fruit, can you finish it?"
Wu Wen patted Jiang Jinxiu on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, I want it all. I was worried something had happened to you. It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Wu Wen was filled with mixed feelings. He hadn't interacted much with the girl in front of him, but they had done a few transactions together. He knew she was very punctual and trustworthy, and a good girl.
Gradually, he unconsciously began to treat her like his own sister.
Jiang Jinxiu shrank her slightly burning shoulders. She had no idea what Wu Wen was thinking. If she did, she would definitely complain.
That slap wasn't meant to be a gesture of treating her like a sister; it was 200% a gesture of treating her like a man.
After meeting with Wu Wen, Jiang Jinxiu left immediately.
After changing back into his original clothes, he went to a state-run restaurant to get some food and returned to the hospital. When he arrived, Yang Dongmei had already helped Gu Dashan clean up his body.
She was using nail clippers to trim his nails.
As she manicured her nails, she muttered, "Old man, when will you wake up? The children are all grown up, why don't you wake up and see them? How could you be so heartless as to abandon me and the children..."
Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with longing, yearning, and anticipation.
Jiang Jinxiu thought that her parents-in-law must have been very loving before, otherwise they wouldn't have persisted for so long under such difficult conditions, just hoping that he would still be alive.
Jiang Jinxiu stood at the door for a long time without going in to disturb them.
Even if it's just my mother-in-law talking to herself.
After an unknown amount of time, and sensing that Yang Dongmei had calmed down, Jiang Jinxiu knocked on the door and went in.
"Mom, come, have something to eat."
She refused to mention what she had just witnessed.
Everyone has a vulnerable side, a side they don't want others to know, right?
The two ate while chatting about what had happened in the past month.
Jiang Jinxiu learned from Yang Dongmei that Gu Xilan and Pearl have already started school.
After the busy farming season ended, they started helping to demolish the brick house, and it was finished yesterday.
Xiao Hei is very obedient. Even without their orders, he will occasionally go up the mountain to get them some wild game.
This has made some people almost envious.
She happened to have nothing to do today, so she came to town to visit Gu Dashan.
"Mother, why don't we stay here for the next few days and spend some quality time with Father?" Jiang Jinxiu suggested.
She planned to give Gu Dashan the spiritual spring water, both internally and externally, for a week in the hope of waking him up.
Compared to this unfamiliar third daughter-in-law, he would probably prefer to hear the voice of his wife, Yang Dongmei.
At Jiang Jinxiu's urging, Yang Dongmei stayed.
The two of them slept on the floor together in the hospital room.
During the day, Yang Dongmei was responsible for taking care of Gu Dashan and talking to him.
Jiang Jinxiu was responsible for helping out, such as buying meals.
Under the care of the two women, Gu Dashan was able to drink very little spiritual spring water on the first day, but as time went on, he drank more and more each day, which was a good sign.
Gu Xiliang and Gu Xijing hadn't seen their mother for several days and were worried that something had happened to her, so they searched for her everywhere.
Some elderly people from their village went out to work and never came back.
When they found him, he was already gone.
Yang Dongmei was getting on in years, and the others were also afraid.
After searching for a long time, I finally learned from someone in the same village that my mother had been at the hospital with my father for the past few days.
