Chapter 228: What Should I Do When I Get Sick?

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: What Should I Do When I Get Sick?

They knew it was not right to put him in the storeroom!

Old Master Lu stared fiercely at Old Madam Lu, and if looks could kill, Old Madam Lu would have died hundreds of times.

Old Madam Lu saw the murderous look in Old Master Lu’s eyes.

But Old Master Lu was utterly immobile and speechless at the moment, leaving Old Madam Lu completely unafraid of him.

Even if Lu Zhenguo were to cure him, he could no longer move as briskly as before.

So, Old Madam Lu was fearless and even glared back at Old Master Lu with a hostile tone, "What are you looking at! What can you do by staring at me like that? You’re just a useless person!"

"Mmmph!" Old Master Lu’s eyes bulged even bigger in anger, as if they would pop out.

Old Madam Lu snorted coldly, "I’ve tolerated you for a long time! Every day you feast on delicacies, hogging all the meat and drink, while my life with you has never been comfortable. You selfish old bastard!"

"This is your karma! I’m telling you, I’m going to live a good life with Zhenguo, and you can just stay paralyzed!" Old Madam Lu had not been shy about sharing these thoughts with Old Master Lu these past few days.

Ge Guifen glanced at Old Madam Lu and realized she too felt the unfairness.

Yet she, suffering from such unfairness, was even more unfair to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

She truly didn’t understand what went on inside Old Madam Lu’s mind.

Ge Guifen knew she did favor Lu Youbang a bit more.

Because she thought Lu Youbang was smart and promising, bound to have a better future than Lu Youzhen.

But she never mistreated Lu Youzhen because of that; she still loved her, just slightly less than Lu Youbang, but only by a little bit.

Ge Guifen, having been wronged in this family herself, didn’t want her daughter to suffer the same.

And yet, people like Old Madam Lu, once wronged and mistreated themselves, seemed even more willing to let the women in the family suffer more than they did.

As if that would make Old Madam Lu feel better, more balanced somehow.

Ge Guifen scoffed, Old Madam Lu was the type who couldn’t bear to see others happy because she herself was miserable.

"Quickly help him put on his pants," Old Madam Lu said. "His butt is stained with urine, it’s filthy, it will dirty my bed later!"

Old Madam Lu and Ge Guifen helped Old Master Lu put on his pants.

Old Madam Lu muttered, "At least he didn’t defecate."

"Mmmph!" Old Master Lu groaned in hatred.

This damn old woman, why couldn’t she be the one who had a stroke!

Why won’t she just die!

After they tidied up, Ge Guifen and Old Madam Lu moved Old Master Lu back to the bedroom and placed him on the bed.

Old Madam Lu looked at Old Master Lu lying on her bed with disgust.

She thought Old Master Lu had dirtied her bed.

"Move him later, and wash the bedsheets," Old Madam Lu told Ge Guifen.

Old Master Lu, no matter how much he hated her, couldn’t speak; he could only grunt.

But to Old Madam Lu, that just showed his utter incapability.

A while later, they heard someone outside shouting, "Zhenguo, Youxi, Xiao Zhou, you’re back!"

Lu Zhenguo’s voice was heard outside, politely greeting the neighbors.

Old Madam Lu, fearful of the neighbors gossiping, hurried to open the door, "Zhenguo! You’re back!"

Old Madam Lu hoarsely threw herself at Lu Zhenguo.

"Mom," Lu Zhenguo steadied Old Madam Lu, "how is Dad?"

"Come and see for yourselves," Old Madam Lu pulled Lu Zhenguo, unusually polite even to Lu Youxi, "Youxi, I knew you were a filial child who wouldn’t abandon us."

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "Of course."

Old Madam Lu’s cloudy eyes suddenly brightened at her words.

Lu Youxi meant she brought money!

Old Madam Lu suddenly couldn’t cry anymore; her smile almost reached her ears.

Lu Zhenguo watched, his heart sinking.

Old Master Lu was so sick, yet Old Madam Lu seemed completely unworried.

"Mom, let’s go see Dad first," Lu Zhenguo reminded.

"Oh, yes, yes." Old Madam Lu pulled Lu Zhenguo along, leading them into the bedroom.

Ge Guifen had briefly cleaned Old Master Lu.

But being covered up for so long, Old Master Lu’s body seemed marinated in odor.

As they entered the room, they were met with a pungent smell.

Lu Youxi covered her nose; Zhou Shuyan and Lu Zhenguo both frowned.

Seeing this, Ge Guifen explained with a worried look, "Ah! There’s no man in the house, and with Zhenjia not here, I, as his daughter-in-law, neither have the strength nor is it appropriate for me to carry Dad to the toilet. Mom is too old to lift him; we can only use urine pads for Dad, it’s really unavoidable. Even though we change them frequently and clean Dad every day, some smell is inevitable."

"Zhenguo! Look, you can barely stand the smell as soon as you walk in, but I have to smell this every day." Old Madam Lu pretended to sob but couldn’t squeeze out any tears, just wiping her face and feigning crying.

"Dad fell ill so suddenly, the days we’ve been living...they’re simply inhumane!" Old Madam Lu cried.

"I heard Youbang say that the doctor recommended taking Dad to the city hospital for surgery," Lu Zhenguo said. "Why haven’t you arranged for Dad to go to the city hospital?"

"Well... we’re still waiting for a hospital bed," Old Madam Lu’s eyes darted around as she made excuses, "You know, even if he’s hospitalized, we’d still have to wait for the surgery. I’m afraid that just the cost of the hospital stay would drain our savings, leaving us without the money for the surgery."

Old Madam Lu abruptly clapped her hands by the bed, crying out to Old Master Lu, "Old man, why is our fate so harsh!"

"At our age, we should be enjoying our retirement, yet you contracted this disease, and our family doesn’t have the money for your treatment," Old Madam Lu wailed.

"Mom, didn’t you always say that the retirement money you and Dad saved was for medical emergencies in our old age?" Lu Zhenguo said, "Now is the time to quickly use that money for Dad’s treatment."

Lu Youxi looked at Lu Zhenguo, surprised that he even brought this up.

Clearly, there was no intention to willingly offer any money.

Old Madam Lu paused in her crying, wiped her face, and pretended to sniffle before saying, "Our... our retirement money is barely enough! Not to mention whether it’s sufficient for Dad’s treatment; what about when I fall sick later? What will I do?"

"Cough!" Ge Guifen quickly interrupted to prevent Old Madam Lu from continuing.

The foolish old woman, how could she say such things!

Sure enough, Lu Zhenguo’s expression darkened as he said, "Mom, you’re clutching the money, refusing to spend it, what are you really planning to use it for? Dad is so sick right now, at least treat his illness first! Even if we spend all the money, when you fall sick later, won’t we still be here? Would I watch you suffer and do nothing?"
