Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 895 - 759: Her Precious One (Part 2)

"Aunt, don’t worry, we’ll cover the cost for the caregiver." Grandma is in this condition, and yet Aunt is only thinking about money, which makes Lin Wan a bit displeased.

Zhang Huilan is preoccupied with the caregiver issue. With Xiao Yi and his wife offering to pay, they wouldn’t have to spend money and could end up saving a lot. She didn’t even notice Lin Wan’s tone and expression.

Shen Haitao looked at Zhang Huilan’s smug expression, feeling slightly awkward. His wife was always like this, and he was too lazy to argue with her. He turned to Han Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Wan, you guys find someone, preferably a careful one. We’ll cover the cost later. It’s not easy for you two to earn money, and I know you have filial piety, but it’s okay if you don’t pay. If you have the heart, just spend more time with your grandma."

"What are you doing? Why can’t Xiao Yi pay? Xiao Yi has been living with our family for years, and our mom treats him even better than she treats Xiao Xu. Now that Grandma is sick, why can’t the grandson contribute a bit?"

"Isn’t it our responsibility too? It’s not like we don’t have money at home. Taking care of our parents shouldn’t feel like the sky is falling."

"It might as well be—this isn’t a matter of two or three hundred, it’s several thousand. It’s money you and I have earned over several years."

"You..."

"Uncle, Aunt is right. Don’t worry about hiring the caregiver. Go home and rest. We are here," Han Yi intervened to stop the argument.

"Brother, let’s discuss this tonight. Don’t argue here; it wouldn’t be good for Mom to hear," Shen Qing also tried to persuade Shen Haitao. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Her mom had just woken up. If she heard her sister-in-law’s words, she might get so angry that it could worsen her condition.

Shen Haitao realized this too and didn’t say anything further. He nodded and gave Zhang Huilan a cold glance, snorting as he walked away.

Hiring a caregiver was indeed necessary. Grandma’s illness wasn’t something that would get better overnight, and almost everyone in the family had to work. They couldn’t stay up every night to look after Grandma. During the day, it’s manageable. Usually, the sister-in-law and Shen Rong had more flexible schedules, and except on rest days, they would come over to take care of Grandma.

She could stay over here for a while longer and spend more time with Grandma, but a caregiver was needed for the nights.

In the morning, Han Yi took Grandma for another full-body examination to see the extent of her leg injury.

Han Yi didn’t let Lin Wan run back and forth, so she waited in the hospital room. Fortunately, her second aunt came, and they busied themselves taking care of Grandma for most of the morning.

"I’ve said there’s nothing wrong. Why spend this unneeded money to do so many tests? I saw the doctor’s list, and there were several hundred there. Why does staying in a hospital cost so much now? It’s like being robbed,"

"Mom, there’s nowhere near that much. If it were, hospitals would just be places to rob people. Don’t worry, it’s just a few dozen bucks," her second aunt said as she tucked Grandma in.

"A few dozen is still not a small amount; that’s a month’s salary in a day," Grandma said with a bit of heartache. "Xiao Yi, how about you talk to the doctor and tell them I won’t stay. Let’s go home to recuperate; I don’t really have anything wrong."

"Grandma, the doctors wouldn’t deceive us. Don’t worry about the money and focus on getting better, that’s what’s important."

"What recovery? I just fainted after a fall, and now that I’m awake, I don’t need to stay."

"Mom, when you fell, you injured your leg. The doctor said we need to treat it promptly, without delay. Don’t worry; we won’t be in the hospital for too many days. Once your leg is better, we can go home," Shen Qing said, knowing her mom was concerned about the money, quickly holding her hand and smiling.

"Oh, how did I end up such a mess, falling just by going down the stairs and now troubling you all," Grandma blamed herself, knowing the leg needed more time to heal.

"Snowy days aren’t that predictable. Grandma just focus on recovering," Han Yi comforted from the side.

"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you all." Seeing all her children, in-laws, and grandchildren so concerned for her, she felt deeply comforted.

The news of Grandma’s fall had spread through the neighborhood. Soon, several people came to visit.

Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin also came. Even her parents came in the afternoon.

"At your age, you have to be careful. When winter arrives, quite a few elderly people suffer such falls. Look at the patients in the hallway, all here for similar reasons." Liang Hongmei hadn’t been back in years; suddenly returning now, she couldn’t handle the weather either.
