Jiang Suchu stayed at the door of the intensive care unit and refused to leave.
She stared blankly at the closed door, her eyes dry and painful, but she did not shed any more tears.
Just stared blankly, with empty eyes.
Lu Zhinian sat next to her and looked at her, his heart tugged hard. He felt that Jiang Suchu was like a lifeless porcelain doll, as if it would break into pieces in the next second.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the bloody tooth marks on her fingers, frowning, "Baby, let's apply some medicine first, okay?"
Jiang Suichu looked back dully, looked at his hands, and slowly shook his head, "No. I want to wait for grandma here."
Lu Zhinian wanted to say something else, but Shu Yuan came back after paying the fee, holding several tubes of ointment in her hand.
Shu Yuan sat on the other side of Jiang Suichu and said, "Suibao, give your hand to Aunt Yuan."
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment, looking at the ointment in Shu Yuan's hand and pursed his lower lip.
She handed her hand over and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Aunt Yuan."
Shu Yuan carefully applied the medicine to her, "How can I say thank you to Aunt Yuan?"
She said while applying medicine: "I have already taken care of her at the hospital, and I have just asked the doctor. Grandma's condition has improved in the past few days, and she can be transferred to the general ward in two days."
Jiang Suichu raised his eyes and looked at Shu Yuan, "Really?"
Shu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Well, Aunt Yuan will lie to you."
Shu Yuan: "I transferred grandma to the ward. If you are worried, you will stay with grandma in the hospital for three days on New Year's Day. Can you go back to class after New Year's Day?"
Jiang Suichu choked and nodded, "Well, thank you Aunt Yuan."
After applying the medicine, Shu Yuan touched her cheek and said, "Be good."
Grandma's illness is the cough and asthma that the elderly often suffer from in winter. However, the elderly did not receive treatment in time at the beginning. It took too long, and the lungs were severely infected and had fluid accumulation.
Qu Ping did not want to spend more money to remove the hydrops, so she asked the doctor to continue to use conservative treatment. It was only after repeated delays that the condition became what it is now.
In this situation, the accumulated water can no longer be pumped out, and the elderly person's body simply cannot bear it. In the intensive care unit, it was just conservative treatment to prevent the condition from getting worse.
The doctor said that if we can survive this cold winter, it might get better when the weather warms up.
Shu Yuan only chose good things to say to Jiang Suichu. She didn't say the bad things, for fear that she wouldn't be able to accept them.
Shu Yuan raised her eyes and met Lu Zhinian's eyes. She shook her head slowly and said, "A-Nian, today you..."
Before she could finish her words, the phone in her bag rang.
She took out her phone and looked at it. It was her assistant calling. This is her personal mobile phone. Normally, the assistant will not call her unless it is urgent.
She got up and walked to the end of the corridor and answered the phone.
After Shu Yuan walked away, Lu Zhinian carefully took Jiang Suichu's hand, avoiding the injury on her index finger, crossed his fingers, and placed them on his lap.
Jiang Suchu looked at him, and he just slightly curved his lips and whispered to her: "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you."
Jiang Suchu's eyes were hot when she saw him, her chin trembled slightly, and she let out a low voice, "...Hmm."
When Pei Shuo arrived at the hospital, it was almost dark. He walked upstairs and saw Shu Yuan talking on the phone at the end of the corridor from a distance. Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian were sitting side by side on the bench in the corridor.
The hospital's incandescent lights shone on the two of them, and he always felt a little dazed looking at them.
The memory seemed to go back ten years ago. On the day Jiang Zhiwei died, this was the scene he saw when he was rushed to the hospital by Pei Tian.
His eyes were sore, and he walked gently over to sit next to Jiang Suchu.
Lu Zhinian glanced at him, and the two of them said nothing in a tacit understanding.
Jiang Suchu looked at Pei Shuo, who was a head taller than him, and murmured, "Lele, why are you here?"
Pei Shuo just smiled at her faintly, and then followed Lu Zhinian's example, grabbing her other hand and putting it on his knee.
"I'll stay with you."
Jiang Suchu glanced at the hands held by the two men and thought of the scene on the day his father died.
The eye sockets are sore and swollen.
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo were sitting beside her like this at that time, holding her hand tightly.
Only now, the small hands have turned into big hands.
The hospital was noisy and chaotic that day, and Li Liyun's screams filled the entire emergency corridor.
Many people in the bureau were crowded in the corridor, but she was the only one sitting on a chair without knowing why, looking blankly at the adults who were crying or lamenting.
She didn't understand what death was at that time, but she simply knew that her father was in that cold, closed room.
It seems that I will never come out again.
Today, that door separated her from her grandma again.
She was so scared.
A teardrop hit the clothes hard and was quickly absorbed into the fabric.
Lu Zhinian looked at her lowered head and the increasingly wet marks on her clothes, and her lip lines were tight.
The dimples on his cheeks stretched into a straight line.
He lowered his shoulders, raised his other hand, and silently pressed her head on his shoulders.
Then he put his hand on her head and gently rubbed her head with his thumb to comfort her.
Pei Shuo glanced, his Adam's apple rolling, he didn't say anything but just pulled Jiang Suchu's hand harder.
After Shu Yuan finished making the call, she turned around and saw Pei Shuo also coming.
The three of them sat side by side on the bench in the corridor. Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo both held Jiang Suchu's hands. Jiang Suchu rested his head on Lu Zhinian's shoulder, and if he listened closely, he could hear her sobbing softly.
Shu Yuan turned away and wiped the tears from the end of her eyes.
Jiang Zhiguo and Qu Ping walked towards Shu Yuan, and Shu Yuan wiped away her tears and quickly adjusted her mood.
Jiang Zhiguo looked at Shu Yuan and said with some embarrassment: "I just went down to pay, and the nurse said you had already paid."
After paying tens of thousands more, even the ward was converted into a VIP ward.
Shu Yuan nodded, "Yeah. I said I'll pay for it."
Jiang Zhiguo: "After much deliberation, I still can't let you pay this money. Please give me a card number and I will return the money to you."
Although Shu Yuan said that Zhiwei was kind to them, his mother was also his mother. As a son, he had no reason to let others pay for his mother's medical treatment.
Qu Ping twisted his arm, "What are you trying to do? Can you afford to pay her back after she paid tens of thousands in one go?"
As she said that, she looked at Shu Yuan with a smile and said, "Don't listen to him. We really have no choice. Our family is too poor to afford so much medical expenses."
Shu Yuan slightly curved her lower lip. She could see that Jiang Zhiguo was different from Qu Ping. He was an honest and responsible person.
Shu Yuan glanced at Qu Ping lightly, and then said to Jiang Zhiguo: "Brother Jiang, don't have any psychological burden. I do this partly for Zhiwei and partly for Suisui. Grandma is so important to Suisui. I I think you know it too. I can't help you with anything else. I just hope that my aunt will get well soon."
Otherwise, she was really worried that Jiang Suchu wouldn't be able to hold on.
Shu Yuan's words were sincere, and Jiang Zhiguo didn't know what to say. He was a person who was not good at words.
Jiang Zhiguo looked at his niece on the chair outside the intensive care unit, feeling heartbroken and helpless.
Qu Ping is a strong person, and he works abroad all year round. He knew very well how much Jiang Suichu had suffered in their family over the years, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"dad."
"Mother."
Jiang Zhiguo and Qu Ping turned around and saw their son and daughter.
Qu Ping: "If you two don't go home, why are you coming to the hospital?"
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and pulled up the schoolbag strap on her shoulders, "No one is home, what are we going to do back home."
Jiang Mingjie was still a little afraid of Jiang Zhiguo, "Dad, how is grandma?"
Jiang Zhiguo sighed, "Not very good."
Jiang Mingjie pursed his lower lip and didn't know what to say. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Zhinian sitting on a chair not far away.
Lu Zhinian happened to look over, and his cold eyes swept over him lightly. Jiang Mingjie swallowed subconsciously and stepped back.
Jiang Mingzhu also saw Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo. She frowned and muttered in a low voice, "I will try my best to seduce others."
In the village, Jiang Minghao was indifferent and cruel to everyone. He was only kind to Jiang Suichu and often protected her. Now in high school, I hooked up with these two handsome guys again out of nowhere.
Moreover, Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo seemed to be from very good families at first glance, so they didn't know what charm Jiang Suichu had.
Jiang Mingzhu whispered so quietly that no one heard what she said. But Shu Yuan saw her contemptuous expression without fail.
Shu Yuan had heard from Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo earlier that these two siblings had been bullying Jiang Suchu over the years.
She glanced up and down at Jiang Mingzhu's white cotton clothes, her eyes cold and devoid of extra emotion.
Shu Yuan didn't want to stay any longer and said to Jiang Zhiguo, "Brother Jiang, I'll go over first."
Jiang Zhiguo: "Okay, okay, please."
Shu Yuan nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards Jiang Suichu and the others.
She squatted in front of Jiang Suichu and touched her face, "Suibao, I asked the hospital to prepare a ward, which is upstairs. Can you, Anian and Lele go up and rest for a while?"
Just when Jiang Suichu was about to shake her head, Shu Yuan said to her softly: "Grandma will be transferred to the ward tomorrow. If you don't rest now, how will you take care of grandma tomorrow?"
Jiang Suichu pursed his lower lip and said slowly after a long while: "Okay."
She needs to have a good rest, not to worry her grandma, and to take good care of her grandma.
Hearing her saying yes, Shu Yuan smiled lightly and touched her head, "Good boy."
Shu Yuan stood up and said to Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo: "Anian Lele, our company has some urgent matters to deal with. I will hire a caregiver to take care of grandma tomorrow, and you two will stay here with Suisui."
Lu Zhinian nodded, "I understand, Mom."
Pei Shuo also said: "Don't worry, Aunt Yuan."
Jiang Suchu was helped up from the chair by Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo. She has been crying from noon to now, has not taken any water, and is already a little exhausted.
Lu Zhinian let go of her hand, put his arm around her waist, and half-carried her toward the elevator entrance.
Pei Shuo walked a little behind her, his hands weakly protecting her back in case she suddenly fell back.
When passing Jiang Mingjie and Jiang Mingzhu, Lu Zhinian glanced at the two of them coldly.
Jiang Mingjie was startled for a moment, touched his right arm and lowered his eyelashes hurriedly.
When Jiang Mingzhu saw Lu Zhinian's cold eyes, she suddenly thought of the kick he gave her in the abdomen when the bus stopped on the street last year, and the disgust and disdain in his eyes when he looked at her.
She tugged at the hem of her clothes and looked at the dark marks on the white cuffs, then remembered that she had found this dress in Jiang Suichu's room.
Jiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and couldn't explain why. The shame in her heart spread from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly and helped Jiang Suchu pass them by.
