Is the hospital not clean?
Cheng Su was taken aback.
Qi Fenglian explained, "Mom said when she closes her eyes, she feels like soone is standing next to her, glaring at her. She says it’s the lady who rode in the sa car with her." She pulled Cheng Su aside and whispered, "I asked around, that lady died. She was crushed right on top of mom, and blood splattered onto her, so she’s scared."
Cheng Su understood; her mother-in-law was either being superstitious again or genuinely frightened. After all, it was a terrifying ordeal.
But no matter how scared, it’s not the ti to be willful.
Cheng Su walked over and said, "Mom, you’ve done the check-up and need to rest for a few days. The doctor said you can be discharged soon, and we’ll take you ho then. But now isn’t the ti. Didn’t you say your whole body hurts?"
Mother Qi bit her lip.
"The hospital has good conditions for you to recover quickly. Maybe you could even help with the baby later. But if you go ho now and can’t get proper treatnt, you’ll take much longer to recover. How will you hold your grandchild then?" Cheng Su hit her soft spot.
As soon as she said that, Mother Qi’s eyes fell on her belly, and she beca more anxious, "I understand. You hurry up and go, and don’t co again. The hospital isn’t clean; be careful not to get sothing dirty on you."
Cheng Su’s mouth twitched, feeling a bit creeped out. Without overthinking it, she said, "Mom, you haven’t rested well, you’re overthinking, there’s no such thing."
"Yes, Mom, you should get so sleep. The doctor also said you need more rest!" Qi Fenglian added.
"Let Taiguo’s wife go back. You take care of here. Does your dad know I’m here? You and Dad—and Fengping—are enough. We don’t need her!" Mother Qi clutched Qi Fenglian’s hand.
"Alright, alright!" Qi Fenglian looked at Cheng Su, extrely helpless.
Soon, dical staff ca to take Mother Qi for a full-body examination, and Qi Fenglian quickly followed.
Cheng Su said to Deng Weixia, "You should go back to work first. I’ve already inford your head chef!"
Deng Weixia replied, "But here..."
"It’s fine. We’ll figure it out!" Cheng Su assured.
Deng Weixia nodded and left first.
Cheng Su sat down, rubbed her aching waist, and exhaled.
"What do you plan to do now?" Ning Ge sat down and asked.
Cheng Su’s mind was a bit muddled.
With Mother Qi’s accident and her leg injury, making her immobile, she needed soone to care for her, which ant one less helper at ho.
Father Qi was old, Qi Fenglian’s son was still with them, Qi Jianguo was at school, Qi Fengping needed to study for exams, Qi Fenglian herself had to work, and she had a daughter to look after. And with her own pregnancy approaching, she couldn’t take care of her mother-in-law, and she needed soone to care for herself!
So all these arrangents needed to be carefully organized and distributed.
Cheng Su thought for a bit; on her end, she could ask her own mom to co help. If that didn’t work, there’s still Liu Wenjing, and worst case, just pay a bit for help. If all else fails, hire a nanny.
As for her mother-in-law, after being discharged, she could rest in their hotown. Once Qi Fengping’s exams were over and if she got in, she wouldn’t start until September, which ans a couple of months to help. Jianguo’s sumr break could also allow him to return ho, and Xiao Yun could go back for the sumr. Even just helping with cooking and looking after the little brother would be helpful.
Thinking of this, she said, "They say having a big family is important. When sothing happens, there’s always soone to help. It really makes sense looking at it now."
Thank goodness Mother Qi had many kids. Otherwise, with only Qi Taiguo, there wouldn’t be anyone to lend a hand!
