Chapter 89: Here to Deliver Money
Lou Yansui was hospitalized for observation for half a month until Dr. Andrei gave his approval and she was finally discharged.
Before being discharged from the hospital, Lou Yansui had another X-ray. Mao Mao stared wide-eyed at her brother's bone X-ray, listening to the blond foreign doctor speak in a language she couldn't understand.
The foreign doctor spoke English, and Lou Hongjian translated for her: "He means that Asui has recovered very well; it's practically a miracle."
As he spoke, Lou Hongjian picked up his younger sister and affectionately nuzzled her face: "If we're talking about miracles, it has to be our Mao Mao!"
Mao Mao was tickled by his rubbing and giggled non-stop. Just as she pushed her third brother's head away, the ladies kissed her face with a big kiss, leaving several red lip prints on her face.
Although he recovered well, Lou Yansui could not stand up immediately.
His legs had been idle for too long, some muscles had atrophied, and he lacked the strength to walk. A long and arduous rehabilitation process lay ahead. Therefore, even after being discharged from the hospital, he would need to use a wheelchair for a period of time.
Lou Hongjian pushed his wheelchair to the top of the stairs, looked down at the several flights of stairs, and stepped forward to squat down in front of his younger brother, ready to go: "A-Sui, come on, I'll carry you."
Lou Yansui: "I don't want to."
Lou Hongjian was greatly hurt: "Ah Sui!"
Lou Heming said gently, "Never mind, Ah Hong, the floors here are too high, don't let Ah Sui fall."
Lou Hongjian: "I won't. I'm very strong, Ah Sui, you have to believe me."
Lou Yansui's face was full of resistance as she backed away in her wheelchair, saying, "I don't want to!"
Mao Mao eagerly raised her little hand and volunteered, "Brother, let me do it, brother, Mao Mao will hug you."
"..."
The older brothers glanced down at her small body, which was not even as tall as her wheelchair, said nothing, and tacitly looked away.
Lou Fengju smiled, took a big step forward, and knelt down in front of his younger brother: "A-Sui, come here."
Lou Yansui eagerly climbed onto his broad back.
Lou Fengju straightened up, carrying his younger brother on his back, and took the lead in walking down the slope. Although he was carrying someone, it did not affect his movements at all; he walked steadily and took large strides.
Unable to compete with his older brother, Lou Hongjian had no choice but to turn to the restless little dumpling on the ground: "Mao Mao, come on, I'll carry you on my back."
Mao Mao happily jumped onto her brother's back.
Lou Hongjian took a deep breath: "...Hmm!"
Lou Hongjian: "..."
Lou Hongjian muttered to himself, "Should I really go to the gym?"
...
As her brother's most caring daughter, Mao Mao has taken on another task.
She not only had to watch her brother eat, but also accompany him through his rehabilitation.
Every night, when Lou Heming came to massage his younger brother's legs, Mao Mao would also knead and rub Lou Yansui's other leg.
Her chubby little hands pressed and massaged his legs with great effort.
While massaging, Lou Heming asked, "A-Sui, can you feel anything here?"
Mao Mao knelt on the other side, her little hands pressing on his legs, her round little face earnestly asking, "Brother, does it hurt here?"
"Haha, Mao Mao, it's a little itchy."
Mao Mao worked even harder, pressing buttons haphazardly.
When the massage ended, both the adult and the child collapsed, completely exhausted.
Lou Heming's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were filled with a gentle smile. He washed his hands and then gently squeezed his sister's chubby little hands, giving them a massage.
"Thank you, Mao Mao, you've worked hard." Lou Heming said with a smile, "I'll need your help again tomorrow to supervise Asui's training."
Mao Mao patted her little chest and confidently raised her little head: "Leave it to Mao Mao!"
So every day when Lou Yansui woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a soft, sweet smiling face.
"Brother, wake up!"
"Brother, let's eat!"
"Brother, we have to walk for two hours today!"
Mao Mao has learned to tell time.
There's a large Western-style grandfather clock in the living room that chimes precisely on the hour. One full rotation of the long hands marks one hour. Two rotations mark my brother's exercise time.
One circle in the morning, one circle in the afternoon.
The first ring of the bell signals the start of the workout, and the second ring signals the end.
The Lou family's hall was very spacious, and Lou Yansui practiced walking in the hall.
When the grandfather clock chimed for the first time, Mao Mao stood in front of it and shouted, "Brother—Brother—"
The big white cat stood beside her, tail held high: "Meow—"
Lou Yansui did not appear for a long time.
Mao Mao shouted again, "Third brother—"
Lou Hongjian rushed downstairs in response, rushed into the small room next door, and pushed Lou Yansui, who was engrossed in her studies, out.
After the surgery, he not only started rehabilitation, but also picked up his studies again and began to study on his own, completing half a book of exercises every day.
When Lou Yansui was pushed out, he was still holding a pen in his hand. He kept turning back and saying, "Third Brother, I almost finished this question!"
"What topic is more important than your rehabilitation?" Lou Hongjian pushed him to the center of the living room and snatched the pen from his hand: "A-Sui, you love learning so much, you can continue to go to school after you can walk again."
Lou Yansui pursed her lips and stopped arguing, focusing on the rehabilitation.
Restoring the ability to walk to legs that have been neglected for a long time is no easy task.
Restoring his health was no easy task; it required immense willpower and was accompanied by prolonged pain. His legs were weak and powerless; although he had regained sensation, he would tremble weakly if he stood for even a short time.
After walking only a few steps, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his legs began to shake uncontrollably.
Mao Mao, watching anxiously from the side, paced around in circles, nuzzling against his hand, "Brother, Mao Mao is here to help you!"
"No need." Lou Yansui gently pushed her away: "Mao Mao, stand over there and wait for me to come over."
Mao Mao hurriedly ran back and watched him longingly from a short distance away.
Mao Mao clenched her little fist and cheered him on: "Brother, go! Brother, go!"
Big white cat: "Meow—meow—"
Lou Hongjian also stayed by his side to watch.
Seeing that his younger brother could no longer hold on, he pushed the wheelchair over and handed him a towel: "Ah Sui, take a rest."
Lou Yansui, panting heavily, gripped the armrests of her wheelchair, trembling uncontrollably from exhaustion: "Thank you, Third Brother."
Mao Mao ran over again and stayed by her brother's side. The big white cat also ran over, its fluffy tail brushing against Lou Yansui's feet, as if encouraging him.
Once you've regained some strength, stand up and continue with the next round of rehabilitation.
When the grandfather clock chimed for the second time, Mao Mao loudly announced, "Brother, it's okay now!"
She happily skipped towards the kitchen with her short legs, and soon the maid brought in today's nutritious meal.
After expending their energy, they ate more than before. The brother and sister sat at the table and enjoyed their meal.
When the guests arrived, Mao Mao had just finished eating a big chicken leg. The big white cat was squatting at her feet, also looking down and showing off its chicken breast.
It was Ms. Zhang, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
Upon seeing her, Lou Hongjian crossed his arms and let out a cold snort.
"What are you doing here again?" Lou Hongjian gave her a cold look and said, "Let's make this clear beforehand, I won't agree to let you take my sister out to play this time."
Zhang Jingshu glanced at him, didn't utter a word of rebuttal, and lowered her head again.
She didn't say anything, which made Lou Hongjian feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, every time the two of them met in the past, they would argue and bicker with each other.
"You...you're sick?"
Zhang Jingshu looked at him suspiciously again: "I didn't."
"and you……"
“You’re not wrong,” Zhang Jingshu said. “Last time I took Mao Mao out to play, she ended up being kidnapped. If it were me, I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting her go out with me either.”
Her quick admission left Lou Hongjian speechless for a moment.
He raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such self-awareness?"
Zhang Jingshu: "..."
Lou Hongjian immediately asked, "Then what are you here for today?"
"I've come to find Mao Mao."
Lou Hongjian's expression immediately became wary, as if to say, "You still say you have no ill intentions?"
However, this time, Zhang Jingshu came to deliver money.
She took out a share transfer document and handed it to Mao Mao.
Mao Mao, holding a chicken leg, stared blankly and asked, "Huh?"
