Chapter 467: Taking Care of Mom and Working 2
Bai Chen's words did make Xue'er feel a little embarrassed. Although they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it was also an employment relationship. She had to work for him while receiving his salary! But with her mother in this condition, how could she rest assured that her mother would live alone again?
Bai Chen saw Xue'er's dilemma, so he pulled Xue'er aside and said, "Take your aunt to our place. It will be more convenient for you to take care of her."
Xue'er was very touched, but also said worriedly: "That's not good! My mother is in this situation now, confused all day long, I'm worried that she will disturb your life."
"That shouldn't be the case! Besides, I have to work during the day." Bai Chen said.
"Okay then! I'll bring my mother to live at your place first, and then I'll think about whether there is a better way." Xue'er said after thinking for a while.
"Well, let's talk about it later! Let's do it this way for now!" Bai Chen decided.
"Thank you so much, Chen." Xue'er said softly.
"Silly girl, you're still so polite to me." Bai Chen said dissatisfiedly.
Xue'er reached out and wiped her face, trying not to look so embarrassed, and then looked at Bai Chen seriously and said, "Chen, don't refuse my thanks. Really, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."
As Xue'er spoke, her eyes turned red again. It was really hard for such a young and weak girl to endure so much. Bai Chen felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly to comfort her.
"Be good, don't be sad. Let's go back to the ward quickly! Auntie will be worried soon." Bai Chen said.
"Yeah." Then the two returned to the ward. Mother Liu was standing on the floor packing things in the ward.
Xue'er pushed the door open and said, "Mom, why are you up? You don't have to clean these up."
"I can't lie down anymore. Why don't we go home? What if your father can't find us when he comes home?" Mother Liu started talking nonsense again.
Xueer said, "Mom, didn't I tell you that the money for the ward has been paid and it can't be refunded. Let's not bother with it today. Let's leave here tomorrow after you have finished all the examinations you need, okay?"
"Okay! But you can't pay any more money. My mother and I don't have much savings and we can't afford such a hardship." Mother Liu instructed.
"Well, I know. We will go back tomorrow." Xue'er knew that her mother was mentally disturbed and whatever she thought in her mind came out, so she could only agree with her mother.
After hearing this, Liu's mother also calmed down. Suddenly, she looked at Bai Chen behind Xue'er with shock in her eyes, "What a handsome boy!"
Xue'er hurriedly introduced: "Mom, this is Bai Chen, my boyfriend, you have met him."
"Really? Look at my memory, I don't have any impression of him. But this boy is really handsome and he is a perfect match for my daughter." said Liu's mother.
"Mom~" Xueer called out coquettishly after hearing this.
"Auntie, you've been busy for a long time, you must be hungry! I'll go buy you something to eat, you and Xue'er wait a moment." Bai Chen looked at the time and saw that it was almost dinner time, so he said.
"Okay, thank you!" Mother Liu had her stomach washed in the morning and was already starving.
"Of course. Xue'er, I'm going now. You stay with your aunt for a while." After saying that, Bai Chen went out to buy food.
After Bai Chen left, Liu's mother began to interrogate him, asking him whether Bai Chen was good to him, his family conditions and work, and whether he had any bad hobbies. In short, Liu's mother was just like a normal mother-in-law interrogating her son-in-law.
Seeing how concerned her mother was, Xue'er suddenly felt that her mother was quite normal. However, Liu's mother's next words, "Take her home and let your father meet her one day so that he can check on her for you," completely brought Xue'er back to reality. Her mother was really sick.
Xueer really didn't want her mother to always mention that person, so she said carefully: "Mom, I want to tell you something. Actually, something happened to my dad."
Liu's mother asked in surprise, "What happened? Was he beaten to death by the debt collectors?"
"Not really. He's just in jail." Xue'er said tentatively.
"He deserves it. No one bullies us mother and daughter anymore after he went to jail. It's just a pity that you lost your father so early, and we have to pay off his debts." Mother Liu cried excitedly.
"Mom, now that all the debts have been paid off, let's not mention him anymore, okay?" Xueer said.
"Okay, Mom does regret it! I hurt my parents' hearts because of him!" Mother Liu said soberly again.
"Mom, it's all over."
After a while, Bai Chen came back with food and said as soon as he entered the door: "Auntie, Xue'er, come and eat, you must be hungry!"
"Well, I'm really hungry." said Liu's mother.
So the three of them sat around the table and had a simple dinner. Bai Chen bought sea cucumber millet porridge for Liu's mother, while he and Xue'er had rice.
After the three of them had dinner, Bai Chen left the hospital for something, and Xue'er stayed with Liu's mother in the hospital. Liu's mother suffered from insomnia at night because she slept too much during the day, so Xue'er could only stay with her mother until the late night.
Early the next morning, Bai Chen came to the hospital. He first went to the doctor to get yesterday's examination list. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with Liu's mother, he went to Liu's ward.
When Bai Chen arrived, Xue'er was still awake. He walked quietly to the accompanying bed and covered Xue'er with the quilt that had been removed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xue'er turned over and woke up.
"Chen, when did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?" Xue'er rubbed her eyes and sat up and said.
"Just arrived. You must be tired yesterday! Sleep a little longer. There's no rush anyway." Bai Chen said while rubbing Xue'er's head.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Can I go to the hospital today?" Xue'er patted her face twice to wake herself up.
"Well, we can set off after you and aunt have packed up. Here, this is aunt's examination form. I've checked it and everything is fine. She can be discharged from the hospital." Bai Chen said as he handed the examination form to Xue'er.
Xueer took the list and said, "I don't understand it either. I'll follow your instructions."
"Oh, so good! Now pack up and get ready to go home." Bai Chen said.
"Okay, I'll wake up mom." Xueer said and went to wake up her mother.
After being woken up, Liu's mother was also excited to hear that she could go home today.
After the three of them packed up, they drove away from the hospital. Mother Liu let out a long sigh and said, "We can finally leave the hospital and go home."
"Yes! Mom, can you live with us first?" Xueer said.
"What do you mean? Didn't we live together before?" Liu's mother asked curiously.
"Yes."
Not long after, Bai Chen drove downstairs and Xueer helped her mother get out of the car. Looking at such a high-end garden community, Liu's mother became confused. This was obviously not her home!
After Xue'er brought Liu's mother upstairs, the more Liu's mother looked at the environment, the more familiar it seemed. "Xue, this is Xiaochen's home. Why did you bring me here? I want to go home." Liu's mother started making a fuss again.
"Mom, our building is too dilapidated and the door is broken. No one can live here now. You should stay here first! I will find a place for you later, okay?" Xueer persuaded.
"Ah! How could the door be broken?" asked Liu's mother.
How could Xue'er dare to say that it was Bai Chen who kicked her? She could only make up stories with her eyes open, her purpose being to get Liu's mother to stay first.
In this way, Liu's mother was persuaded to stay...
