Chapter 896 - 759: Her Treasure_3

"Oh, it’s true, you see, I haven’t fallen once in so many years, and now I have such a serious fall. Sigh, I really made you all worry."

"Aunt Han, don’t mention it, it’s our duty."

Although Grandma’s legs had no sensation, her spirits were quite good. She chatted and laughed with the visitors for quite a while without showing any signs of fatigue.

In the end, it was Mom who insisted that she lie down and rest for a while.

When Lin Wan escorted her parents out, she found out that Mom was now staying at their own house.

"I think Grandma’s condition will take ten days or so. If staying at your in-law’s place is inconvenient, come back home to stay. I’ll tidy up the house for you later. Don’t worry about the bedding. I’ll have your dad go to the market and buy two sets."

"Mom, then please help us tidy up, we’ll come back to sleep."

"Alright, that’s settled."

"Xiao Yi, you don’t have many days off, right? If everything is settled here, hurry back," Lin Guozhi suddenly said.

"Got it, I’ll leave the day after tomorrow."

There seemed to be something in Dad’s words that Lin Wan and Mom couldn’t understand, but evidently, Han Yi was quite clear about it.

Lin Wan speculated, guessing there might be another mission coming up.

After seeing her parents off, Lin Wan and Han Yi asked around some of the other patients’ family members. Many were using caregivers, and knew quite a few people who could help introduce some to them.

After asking for a while, Lin Wan and Han Yi found a woman in her forties. She had been a caregiver for several years, was experienced, attentive, and most importantly, didn’t mind getting dirty or tired.

These caregivers were hired by the day. For 24-hour one-on-one care, it was 4 yuan a day. If it was just daytime, it was 1.50 yuan; night time was 2 yuan. Generally, they preferred taking on multiple tasks. Either daytime or nighttime.

In a day, they could take care of two patients since patients didn’t need constant attention. They could simultaneously care for two to three patients. For three patients at night, they could earn 6 yuan busying the entire night. They could rest a whole day, which was more cost-effective than 24-hour care.

The one they found was already attending to an elderly man at night. This man had some difficulty walking and needed assistance. He was somewhat easier to care for than Grandma. This way, she could have more energy to care for Grandma.

They wanted to find a one-on-one caregiver, but it was indeed difficult. Many caregivers already had multiple clients.

At this time, the services were not as good and organized as they would be later.

After finding a caregiver, Lin Wan and Han Yi took her to identify the room number, which was right next to the elderly man’s, making it convenient.

Before reaching the door, they saw their cousin and his wife coming out, noticing they had brought a caregiver along.

"Grandma just fell asleep," the cousin’s wife said, and took the caregiver inside for a look, quietly instructing her and then coming back out.

The caregiver chuckled, "No worries, I’ll check in later. If you have things to do, you can go home. When she wakes up, I’ll talk to her."

"Alright, thank you, Auntie."

"No trouble at all, it’s my duty."

Lin Wan and the others exchanged polite words, then entered the ward.

The cousin’s wife pulled them aside, "Let Grandma sleep for a bit. You all haven’t eaten, right? Let’s go to the cafeteria and grab a meal together."

"Where’s Aunt and Mom?" Lin Wan asked, puzzled.

The cousin’s wife pointed to the end of the corridor. Lin Wan then noticed that both her uncles were there. The three siblings were gathered together, discussing something unknown.

"They’re talking things over. Sigh, we have money, and it’s not like Grandma’s medical expenses are much, but they insist on not using our money. Grandma has always helped me so much; I would still be at home taking care of the kids if it weren’t for her help. It’s not a loss if we pay," the cousin’s wife thought sensibly.

Lin Wan smiled, "It’s their own mother who’s sick, and since they’re capable, they naturally don’t need to rely on us."

"Then what are they discussing?" the cousin’s wife asked, confused.

The cousin knew what was going on and explained to his wife, "It’s always been like this among siblings. When the elders get sick, it’s discussed and handled together."

Han Yi and Lin Wan smiled discreetly to themselves, thinking they would be the same when it was their turn.

"Xiao Yi, if you have things to do, take Xiao Wan and head back. We’ve got things covered here," the cousin said while they were eating.

"We’ll indeed need to trouble you with Grandma’s situation, cousin. I have to leave the day after tomorrow," Han Yi said while helping Lin Wan with some food and addressed it to Bai Xu.

"I’ll stay for now. I’ll leave with Mom and Dad later. I’ll let Cousin help watch over Xingxing for a few days."

"Alright," Han Yi agreed.

"Xiao Wan is pregnant; she shouldn’t be overworked. You should go back with Han Yi."
