Chapter 374 Healed Eyes, Wants to Be a Nanny
"Well... sigh!" Oh well, I might as well say it. If I don't say it tonight, it might be even more serious than having an ambiguous relationship with Mingmei.
"She said I hadn't agreed to her request because I don't like women. She also spread rumors that I was having an affair with that guy Yi Yunshuo."
Lin Yuyao's eyes widened. "This... Grandpa actually believes it?"
"Yes, he actually believed it."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
Is the old man's thinking really that advanced?
How could he believe something so outrageous?
"So that's why Grandpa agreed to our marriage?"
"No, if he agrees, of course it's good for you."
Lin Yuyao felt that there was probably some truth to that.
I never expected Mingmei's misunderstanding to be so outrageous.
The old man's thinking is so advanced.
She made everyone laugh.
Fu Huaiyi: "Are you not angry now?"
Lin Yuyao: "I'm not angry."
"You didn't look angry just now?"
"No."
"Hey, you just now clearly..."
Lin Yuyao raised a hand and pressed it against his lips.
"To take a bath."
This is a hint.
He hurriedly got up to find clothes and then took a shower.
It was still very fast, only a few minutes away.
……
During their break, Fang Qing took Wang Cuilan to the hospital for a check-up.
Even though Wang Cuilan has military family benefits, the doctor estimated that it would cost several hundred yuan to treat just one eye.
Fang Qing felt a pang of regret.
I thought it wouldn't cost much after the discount, but I didn't expect it to cost so much.
The doctor spent a long time explaining to her how serious Wang Cuilan's condition was, what kind of technology would be needed, and other confusing things, but she didn't understand a word of it.
All she heard was how much money it would cost.
Wang Cuilan also sensed that Fang Qing was not very happy.
She found the cane and began touching Fang Qing's arm all over.
He grabbed Fang Qing's arm and said, "Fang Qing, it's going to cost so much money. Forget it. I'm just an old man, I'm worthless. Even if you sold me by weight, I wouldn't be worth this much."
Fang Qing looked depressed.
I thought to myself, "That's definitely true."
Several hundred dollars, how much is a bunch of worthless bones worth?
Seeing Fang Qing hesitate, she continued, "Fang Qing, after thinking it over, I think it's not worth spending this money. I don't even know how many years I have left to live. If I go blind, so be it. At worst, I won't go out anymore. In short, I won't cause you any trouble."
That's what they say, but the actual situation at home...
Ugh!
I thought to myself, if you really go blind, wouldn't you be a burden to me?
A few hundred it is fine, I'll just treat one eye.
If we cure her eyes, maybe she can help with cooking.
Even if things don't go well, once the old man is bedridden, she can pick Chenchen up from school by herself and take care of the paralyzed old man.
Yes, she doesn't want to take care of an old man.
If the old lady can't be taken care of, we'll have to hire someone else to take care of her in the future.
Hiring someone doesn't cost money? That's more expensive.
Thinking of this, Fang Qing said, "Mom, Dad's health is getting worse and worse, and he needs someone to take care of him. Jiang Ting and I both have to work, and we can't take care of him at all. If you get your eyes treated, it will help a lot. I'll pay whatever it costs."
Wang Cuilan understood immediately, wondering why Fang Qing was willing to spend money to treat her eyes; it turned out she was waiting for her here.
Once her eyes are healed, won't she have to do their laundry, cook, take care of the children, and look after the old man? Won't that exhaust her to death?
She's too old for that; she can't take any more stress.
She can see people now, but not their faces, and she feels there's no need for treatment.
If we really need to treat it, now is not the time.
Thinking of this, Wang Cuilan made up her mind not to seek treatment.
"Oh, Fang Qing, you know how hard it is for you to work so hard from dawn till dusk to earn a few dollars. No treatment? Forget it, I'll just go blind. No treatment, it's too expensive, ridiculously expensive."
The old lady's attitude suddenly changed drastically. She was speaking politely just now, but now she's grabbing her cane and running outside.
When Fang Qing saw her like this, she quickly chased after her.
"Mom, slow down. Why did you decide to stop treatment when we were talking about it? It won't cost much."
I think the old lady is a very nice person. Once her eyes are cured, she will definitely be able to help her a lot. She can be as good as half a caregiver. It's definitely more cost-effective than spending money to treat the old man.
Fang Qing caught up with her, grabbed her arm and said, "Let's get treatment. Come on, let's go in together and tell the doctor we need treatment."
"I won't get treatment. I want to talk to Jiang Ting."
"I won't talk to him anymore. I'll take charge of this and get him treated."
“I won’t treat it. You don’t earn money easily, and I can’t waste your money.”
“Cure it, Mom, your eyes need to be treated. We’ll sell everything we own to pay for it.”
The two were pushing and shoving each other at the hospital entrance, which startled the people around them.
"What happened?" Everyone stopped to ask what was going on.
Fang Qing explained simply, "My mother has poor eyesight, and I want to treat her, but she's afraid of the cost and doesn't want to."
That's what happened.
"Oh, old lady, eyesight is no joke. If it can be treated, it should be treated. You can't just tough it out."
"Yes, if you don't treat your eyes, you'll go blind."
Wang Cuilan said, "I'm too old to spend this money and add to the burden of young people."
“That’s not right. You might think that not treating it will save your family money, but if you really go blind, that will be an added burden on your family.”
"Yes, if you go blind, you'll only be adding to your daughter's burden."
Fang Qing, who was standing next to her, said, "I'm not her daughter, I'm her daughter-in-law."
"Oh, so it's your daughter-in-law? You're so lucky, old lady. These days, you don't see daughters-in-law chasing after their children to spend money on medical treatment. Your daughter-in-law is so filial."
A group of people showered Fang Qing with praise, which made Fang Qing overjoyed. She then used all sorts of flattering words to boast about herself.
The gist of it is that the old lady has sons and daughters, but no one offered to treat her eyes; only she brought the old lady to the hospital.
Of course, she wasn't stupid; she couldn't just say it directly.
They only said that the old lady didn't want to come, but she dragged her there.
But in the eyes of the onlookers, if the daughter-in-law could be brought here, then her own children could be brought here as well.
If they can't pull her along, it means they don't care about the old lady.
Wang Cuilan was so angry she almost died.
How could she possibly talk to these people about the children she bore?
"No, no, my daughter is thousands of miles away. They would like to help, but they can't. Besides, they have their own families and their lives aren't easy either. How could I add to their burden?"
"Oh, old lady, these are all excuses. If someone truly cared about you, they would come to take you to see a doctor no matter how far away it is."
"It's not that they didn't want to take me, it's that I didn't want to go."
"That's a nice thing to say. If I really cared about you, I would have gotten it for you no matter what."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, praising Fang Qing and belittling her children.
Wang Cuilan was furious.
Has Fang Qing taken all the good reputation?
She didn't want to get treatment in the first place, and now she's even less inclined to.
If she really gets cured, what will become of her children?
Ignoring everything else, Wang Cuilan leaned on her crutch and tried to run outside.
How could Fang Qing let her get away? She quickly caught up, shouting, "Mother, we have to get her treated! Where are you going?"
