Grandpa is getting old and this time he fell down and hurt his foot, although a kind passerby sent him to the hospital, it still made people worry for a while.

  Although Grandpa has not woken up yet, the doctor told everyone that Grandpa is not in danger of his life. He suffered a slight concussion and there was a problem with the left leg bone, which may require minor surgery treatment.

  Upon hearing the news, Gu Mei and others finally let out a sigh of relief. Her mother, Ji Yun, was so exhausted that she sat down in a chair on one side, unable to get up for half a day.

  Second Uncle also let out a sigh and wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead.

  "Mom, have you paid the medical bill?" Gu Mian asked her mother after taking a deep breath.

  "Just in time, I haven't paid yet." Ji Yun only then remembered that a nurse had reminded her earlier to go and pay.

  "I'm going now." Gu Mian took out her wallet from her bag and prepared to pay.

  Second uncle sat silently beside him and didn't say anything about going to pay himself either.

  Since Grandpa was hospitalized last time, Second Uncle and Second Aunt came to ask for money from Gu Mian and her mother, so she didn't even ask Second Uncle.

  Taking care of her grandfather is also something she should do. Although Qian Mo can't be considered rich now, she can still afford the money for her grandfather's hospitalization.

  "Gu Rong, how's Father?" Gu Man stood up and saw Er Niang hurrying over to them.

  "Second Uncle furrowed his brow and raised his head, saying: 'Why did you only come now? Didn't I call to tell you to hurry up?'"

  "Didn't I come as soon as possible? The traffic outside is not good at this time, and you're in such a hurry, so I naturally came late. Is Dad okay?" Erniu glanced at Gu Mian and her mother, then tugged on Ershu's sleeve.

  "Uncle sighed and said: "Dad hasn't woken up yet, the doctor said that there's no major problem found for now, but Dad's leg injury is serious and might need a small surgery."

  "What's going on here? You were fine and now you're in the hospital." Second Aunt glanced at Gu Mian again, looking at the purse in her hand, her eyes rolling slightly.

  Gu Mian was increasingly losing patience with Er Shu, and if it weren't for the fact that Gu Nan was still by her side, she wouldn't even bother to glance at Er Shu.

  "Mom, wait for me here, I'll go pay and come back." Gu Mei patted her mom's hand.

  "Uh-huh." Mom nodded.

  Just then, Qin Sheng walked over from the side and saw Gu Mei preparing to get up, so he couldn't help but ask: "Gu Mei, where are you going?"

  "Qin Sheng, what are you doing here?" Gu Ming stared blankly. Staring at Qin Sheng in a daze.

  Mom Ji Yun saw and quickly pulled Gu Mei: "Mei Mei, they came to the hospital with you."

  Gu Meng was in too much of a hurry and didn't even notice that Qin Sheng had followed her. After her mom reminded her, she looked at Qin Sheng with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush just now, so..."

  "It's nothing. I understand." Qin Sheng smiled slightly and handed a receipt to Gu Cai: "Were you going to go pay? I already helped you with it just now. No need to make another trip."

  Gu Mei was surprised to receive the bill, and when she took a look, Qin Sheng had indeed paid all the money that needed to be paid.

  "Really sorry for the trouble, I'll return it to you later." Gu Mei put away the receipt.

  "No need to be polite, you were all in a hurry just now. Since I'm here, I'll help out." Qin Sheng didn't object to Gu Mian returning the money to him.

  Not long ago he had done something clumsy, now if he refused to take Gu's money, he didn't know if his score in other people's impression would drop again.

  "Mingming, this is..." Mom listened for a while and came back to her senses. She looked Qin Sheng up and down from head to toe, and couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart.

  "Mom, this is Qin Sheng. He's my friend and he also participated in the trip to Shaanxi." Gu Mian introduced Qin Sheng to her mom.

  "Auntie, hello." Qin Sheng nodded towards his mom.

  "Hello. Thank you so much today." Mom forced a faint smile on her face, still worried about Grandpa who hadn't woken up yet, and the smile was somewhat dim.

  "Don't be polite." Qin Sheng hastily waved his hand.

  "Qin Sheng, don't you have something to attend to? You can go take care of it, we'll handle things here." Gu Mian also felt embarrassed to let him stay at the hospital accompanying them all along.

  "Alright, I'll come back another day, and we can contact each other by phone if there's anything urgent." Qin Sheng nodded.

  "Alright." Gu Mei whispered a couple of times to her mom and personally saw Qin Sheng off.

  When she arrived at the hospital entrance, she found that the jeep that had sent them hadn't left yet. Qin Sheng walked directly towards the jeep and waved goodbye to Gu Mian before getting in and leaving.

  Gu Meng looked at the departing Jeep and let out a faint sigh in her heart.

  "Sister-in-law, have you eaten? Do you want me to buy something for you to eat?" Gu Rong asked with a hint of concern as he looked at Ji Yun's worried face.

  Ji Yun shook her head: "No need, I can't eat now."

  The second uncle also didn't know what to say and awkwardly walked away to one side.

  Gu Nan still had evening self-study and couldn't stay in the hospital for too long, so he went back to school. He said he would come back after school was over tonight.

  "What are you doing, muttering to yourself from the side since just now?" Erniang turned her head back and saw that Erjie was distracted, so she lowered her voice and said.

  "No, nothing." Second Aunt shook her head and glanced at Ji Yun before asking her: "Sister-in-law, how did Father end up in the hospital? Was he pushed or what?"

  "I don't know either. To find out what's going on, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until Dad wakes up." Ji Yun rubbed her forehead and said.

  "Oh." Second Aunt nodded and didn't say anything else.

  Gu Mei brought over several boxed lunches, gave Er Shu a rather curious look, then distributed the lunches to everyone: "I don't know if Uncle and Auntie have eaten yet, they've been busy for so long, let's eat something."

  "Mengmeng is becoming more and more sensible." Second Uncle smiled and took over the boxed lunch.

  Erniang still had some resentment in her heart about letting Qiu Yan's elder sister buy a jade sheep for 800,000 yuan. At this moment, she didn't have a good face for Gu Mei either. After taking the boxed meal handed over by Ershu, she didn't even say thank you.

  Mom Ji Yun originally didn't want to eat, but seeing her daughter's hard work in buying food, she reluctantly started eating.

  "Mingming, I hadn't expected you to come back so soon. You just left like that, isn't the work on the other side urgent?" Mom asked with some concern.

  "It's just that Yu Xiao was on the other side, and it's thanks to Yu Xiao's help that I could come back so quickly. As for work, there shouldn't be any major issues, besides, work can't be more important than Grandfather anyway. But really, didn't anyone see how Grandfather got hurt? That place isn't far from our home, how come nobody saw it?" Gu Mian furrowed her brow, somewhat puzzled.

  Mom heard that it was Yu Xiao, and her eyes flashed with a ray of light. She wanted to ask more questions, but then she thought of Grandpa still lying in the hospital bed, so she calmed down: "According to what the kind person who found your grandpa said, there were some banana peels next to your grandpa, it's very likely that he slipped and fell. We'll know for sure when your grandpa wakes up."

  "Uh-huh." Gu Mei nodded, it could only be this way: "Mom, I think we should hire a caregiver to come back and take care of Grandpa after he's discharged from the hospital. You and I both have to go to work, no one can take care of Grandpa, that's not good."

  "Caregiver?" Mom frowned, ever since her sister's son came to their house and almost took away Gu Xiang's things, she didn't like strangers coming to their home.

  This caregiver will definitely be staying at their house for a long time, and it's unclear whether it's safe or not. What if they hire someone with bad character? And neither she nor Gu Mian is at home, and Grandpa's leg is like that, who knows what might happen.

  "Big sister, what are you saying again?" Second Uncle faintly heard that Gu Mei and her mother were talking about inviting someone again, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

  "Mengmeng and I were discussing whether we should hire someone to take care of Dad, as we usually don't have time," Ji Yun replied.

  Last time grandpa was in hospital, it was Ji Yun and Second Uncle and Second Aunt who took turns to take care of him. With several people having things to do, even taking turns would be tiring.

  "Wife, we don't have anything going on lately, so you can take care of Dad from now on." Er Ye said, turning his head to look at Er Shu.

  "Me coming to take care of Dad? What about you and Gu Nan?"

  "I'm usually not at home, and the restaurant isn't busy now either. Gu Nan has to go to school, so you take care of Dad during the day and just come back home at night." Second Uncle saw that Second Aunt wasn't speaking up, so he quickly leaned in close to her ear and said in a low voice, "The last time things were really awkward, let's take this opportunity to ease tensions a bit. We're all family after all, why always be like this."

  Second uncle advised with a bitter tone, his wife and his own father were not on good terms, he was caught in the middle and didn't feel well either.

  "I..." Second Aunt hesitated and looked at Second Uncle.

  "It's not necessary." Gu Mei spoke up, "Auntie Er runs back and forth day and night, it's also tiring. It would be more convenient to hire a caregiver, anyway, it won't cost much money. With professional care, Grandfather can recover faster too."

  Joke, let's not talk about whether or not Erniang is willing to come to their house to take care of Grandpa, just looking at Erniang's temper, she wouldn't dare to let her stay in their house casually.

  It's easy for gods to descend but hard for them to ascend. She had finally found some peace and quiet after much difficulty, and didn't want to come again to suffer punishment.

  Mom also meant the same as Gu Mian: "Xiao Jia is usually very hardworking, no need to bother, just ask the caregiver."

  Although hiring a caregiver can be unsettling, having Erniang come to our home is even more unsettling, so it's better to spend money to avoid disaster.
