The walking koi started from winning the first prize in the lottery

Sometimes Wu Shuangshuang would hear Yang Xi talking on the phone with her family.

I usually call my grandfather in the morning and evening to report to him about my mother's condition in the hospital.

Sometimes he would call his aunt. His grandfather was alone in the countryside and needed someone to take care of him. Fortunately, his aunt's house was quite close to his grandfather's. She would take time to come over every day, cook two meals for the old man, talk to him and comfort him not to worry.

Of course, Yang Xihe was also calling his stepfather, but it sounded like he was arguing with him.

Yang Xi and her mother have been married and remarried to this man for nearly twenty years.

But he never showed up either in the hospital in Xingyu County or in the hospital in Hangzhou.

Many times, Wu Shuangshuang heard Yang Xihe begging him on the phone, "Just come to the hospital and stay with her. I don't want you to take care of her. I have hired a nurse. She will feel better if you stay with her and talk to her."

However, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to have a heart of stone.

Sometimes the voice was so loud that Wu Shuangshuang could hear it. His stepfather said he was too busy at the factory to leave and it was difficult to ask for leave.

They're all excuses anyway.

As for the money...

Yang Xihe said that his mother told him about the medical expenses since he became ill. At the beginning, his mother paid for it herself, and later on, his grandfather paid for the medical treatment.

Fortunately, the old man has a large pension. If he hadn't been diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, his mother would still be angry with her son and wouldn't have called him!

After hearing this, Wu Shuangshuang felt that Yang Xihe's stepfather was a very cold-hearted person. Although they were a couple who got married later in life, they had been married for nearly twenty years after all.

If you raise a dog for twenty years and see it suddenly pass away, you will shed tears, let alone your wife who is seriously ill in the hospital and you don’t even go to see her.

While hospitalized in Hangzhou, Yang Xihe's mother also learned that Wu Shuangshuang was in the hospital.

Her son often ran outside the ward to talk, and sometimes brought back three lunch boxes. It was not like she didn't see it.

Maybe he knew he was going to die soon and he let it go.

When Yang Xihe went to the director's office to inquire about the situation that day, the nurse who was taking care of his mother suddenly came out and said to Wu Shuangshuang, "Ms. Wu, Ms. Yang inside said she wants to see you... Do you want to see me?"

Wu Shuangshuang had nothing to be afraid of. The reason she didn't enter the ward before was simply because she didn't want to provoke her. She didn't want to argue with a patient, nor did she want to bother with a patient.

No matter what, she is my boyfriend's mother.

She can't forgive, she can't repay evil with kindness, and she is not a saint.

All she was doing now was just to avoid making things difficult for her boyfriend.

So when he heard the nurse say that she wanted to see him, he went in calmly.

After entering, he sat next to the bed, said hello, "Auntie", and then stopped talking.

Yang Xihe's mother was already very weak. She had been lying on the hospital bed for some time and had been suffering from the pain. Her body was particularly thin under the quilt.

If he wasn't still breathing, his chest rising and falling slightly, and he had his eyes closed and didn't speak, he would have looked like a mummy.

He looked at Wu Shuangshuang for a long time, then sighed, "I'm sorry for the past... take care of yourself in the future!"

After listening to it, Wu Shuangshuang didn't say it was good or bad.

Looking at the woman in front of him, this haggard woman, he only felt pity for her and her sadness.

At this time, Yang Xihe suddenly came back and was surprised to see Wu Shuangshuang sitting next to the bed.

"Mom, don't scold her. Shuangshuang has been with me in the hospital here in Xingyu County for a while. She has been busy running around and helping me a lot. Don't bully her!" Yang Xihe started to defend her.

Mother Yang opened her eyes and looked at her son with a bitter expression.

"Don't worry, I didn't make things difficult for her. After I'm gone, you can get married if you want. It's just that I don't have any skills in our family... I can't help you get married. Because I spent a lot of money on my illness, right? I'm a burden to you..."

It may be that when a person is about to die, his words are good.

Yang Xihe's mother talked a lot.

She didn't say any words of blessing, and Wu Shuangshuang didn't need her blessing.

After another week in the hospital, her mother's condition became even worse.

"I want to go home. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital is unpleasant." Yang Xihe's mother was tortured by the disease and was unrecognizable. She begged her son to take her home.

She was now too weak to get out of bed.

The doctor actually said a long time ago that there was no need for treatment.

Although he once blamed his mother for interfering too much in his relationship, he still couldn't bear to see his mother become like this.

So I always have expectations for doctors, maybe there will be hope during this period of time?

Finally, Yang Xihe agreed to his mother's request and called an ambulance. He carefully carried his mother up and took her home.

Yang Xihe's home is in a small village by the Taihu Lake.

In fact, the people in that village are all well-off. Although it is a rural area, the per capita income is quite high due to the developed textile industry.

So small villas were built one after another in that village, and Yang Xihe's family was no exception. It was a three-story villa with a small courtyard. It looked quite grand, at least from the outside.

When he returned, his grandfather knew the news and was waiting at the door early in the morning, eagerly waiting.

Ambulances rarely come to the village.

So when I went back, many neighbors were standing on tiptoe to watch.

Everyone was whispering to each other, feeling sorry for the family, who had contracted such a serious illness at such a young age.

It's pitiful. Yang Xihe's mother is only in her fifties this year. She got married early and had children early.

Wu Shuangshuang also came with them. After calling "Grandpa", she watched the medical staff help lift Yang Xihe's mother out of the car.

In order to take care of the patient more conveniently, Yang Xi and his grandfather gave up their own room on the first floor to their daughter.

He looked around but still didn't see his stepfather.

Wu Shuangshuang took the initiative and hired a nurse from a hospital in Hangzhou to come along.

After all, Yang Xihe is a man, and her mother is now paralyzed in bed. It is inconvenient for her to take care of many things. It would be much more convenient to hire a female nurse.

Of course, the salary is quite high, and I can eat and live at home.

The caregiver was also quite happy about it. It seemed that Yang Xihe's mother didn't have much time left to live, and she wouldn't be staying here all year round. She could go back in a month or so and get a good salary.

After the ambulance left, many neighbors came to take a look.

Although some time ago the neighbors made fun of their family because of the incident between Yang Xi and her aunt.

But now, one family came with a basket of vegetables, and another family came with some fruits, and they all came over to talk to Yang Xihe's mother.

In fact, his mother was already very weak at this time.

But I don’t know if it was because I was home, but I was in a good mood. I leaned on the bed and greeted the old neighbors around me, thanking them for coming to see me.

Yang Xihe's grandfather was wiping tears beside him.

How could his little daughter, his beloved little daughter, suddenly become so weak from such a strong person?
