Luckily Mom is here, so sheâs not bored. I made Grandma a pair of open-bottom cotton pants on her momâs large bed. This way, thereâs no need to keep changing pants.
Her mom was fine and helped her too. In the end, Lin Wan didnât even get involved; it was all done by Mom alone.
"Your Grandmaâs illness is such a torment. Did the doctor say it can be cured?"
"The doctor said itâs possible. But itâs not certain, it depends on the treatment."
"Youâre pregnant now. Even if you want to take care of her, youâre not able to."
"There are mother-in-law and Second Aunt. Grandma will be fine, and when the time comes, Iâll go back with you guys. In my current state, not to mention taking care of others, I might even need my mother-in-law to take care of me. I wonât trouble them."
"Come back after youâve had the baby, if you want."
"Okay."
Lin Wan and Mom stayed home for a day, and the next day, took the cotton pants to the hospital. Originally, it was supposed to be First Aunt taking care of Grandma today.
The Second Aunt hasnât gone back yet. "How did I make a fuss? Thereâs no other way. We canât have the whole family just for her, can we? That wonât work. What do you suggest?"
"You donât need to ask me. Since youâre busy making your money, go ahead and earn it. You donât need to worry about Mom. There are caregivers at night, and we agreed to take turns during the day. Now how come itâs not working?"
"Sister-in-law, are you blaming us with those words? When did we say we wonât take care of Mom? Donât worry, we will definitely do our part. You donât need to act like the boss."
"Saozi, then what is Saozi doing now?"
"How is this making a fuss? Iâm just discussing with you."
"Mom is getting older, and now her leg problem is obviously not going to heal. I think itâs better not to waste money and let her rest at home."
"Itâs not time for resting yet, Sister-in-law. You worry too much. The doctor didnât say Mom canât get better. Donât bring this up again. If youâre busy today, go ahead. Iâll stay here. Donât talk about this anymore."
"Hmph, fine, I wonât say it. How can I leave? Sister-in-law, you should go back." Zhang Huilan was obviously angry. She went straight back to the ward after speaking.
"Second Aunt," seeing First Aunt go in, Lin Wan also came out.
"Xiao Wan, how come youâre here? Why didnât you leave with Xiao Yi?"
"Weâre worried about Grandma. I donât have much to do anyway, so Iâm staying a few more days. Once Grandma gets better, Iâll go back. It snowed yesterday, so I didnât dare go out. I made a pair of cotton pants for Grandma, and today I can just change them for her."
"Oh, youâve got a lot on your plate. You mustâve just heard all that too. Itâs infuriating."
"Thatâs just how First Aunt is, donât be angry, Second Aunt."
"Alright, alright, letâs go in then, just in time while everyoneâs here to change for Grandma."
"Okay."
The cotton pants that Lin Wan made were very helpful for Grandma. She doesnât have any sensation now and quickly gets dirty below. So Grandma wasnât wearing anything below and often pulling the blanket, which can easily make her cold.
"Xiao Wan is so considerate. Look at how well this fits. Donât you think so, Mom?" Zhang Huilan said with a smile.
Someone is willing to take care of the elderly lady, which naturally makes her happy. This way, she can take care of a little less herself.
"Yes, Xiao Wan is a good kid. Of all the kids, the one sheâs most pleased with is Xiao Wan."
"Grandma, how have you been feeling recently?"
"Much better. Iâve been feeling like thereâs some sensation in the past two days. It seems like the daily injections are working."
Lin Wan was delighted to hear Grandmaâs words. Having sensation proves the method is effective. "Thatâs good, letâs continue trying then."
First Aunt was happy too upon hearing itâs effective. As long as Grandma regains sensation and can cure the illness, at least they wonât have to take care of her every moment anymore.
After staying with Grandma for a while, Lin Wan went to the factory.
Saw Su Ling at the factory, and only then did she know she had come over.
"What? Been here for several days and didnât even make a phone call? Your Grandmaâs okay?"
"Sheâs still in the hospital."
