Zuo Ziwen called everyone one by one to inform them of He Shujun's need for treatment.

Hear about surgery.

Dong Cai and Ma Xiaoyan were so scared that they hurried back to check.

Tears are ready to fall.

It turned out to be a minimally invasive surgery.

Dong Cai forced himself to hold back his tears.

Zheng Wendong and Su Ying also came back with Paopao.

It is a rare occasion in these years that everyone in the Dong family gathered together to chat with He Shujun, with the children also around, which made He Shujun smile.

Zheng Wendong held his wife's hand, listened to her greeting Ma Xiaoyan, and looked towards the third brother's house.

Relatives from Uncle He’s side and relatives from the Dong family’s side.

Almost all the children and grandchildren were brought back.

Soon, Dong Wenke also appeared.

Zuo Ziwen was obviously very surprised, because she didn't call her son for fear of affecting his work. Instead of being happy about her son's return, she was very unhappy.

Dong Wenke said, "Mom, grandma is sick and I must come back to see her."

Ma Xiaoyan immediately praised him, "Wen Ke is a sensible child. I used to think your grandma was partial and only took care of yours among the children of other families. But now that I see you and Dong Xi are here, your grandma's efforts are worth it."

She always carries messages in her calls.

Lao Zheng and Su Ying both understood.

Zuo Ziwen was very unhappy. She had been dissatisfied with her parents-in-law for a long time. Oh no, it should be said that her two sisters-in-law were also dissatisfied. But she could still bear it for the time being. But now that her mother-in-law was sick and her son's work was affected, she was a little angry.

Zuo Ziwen cleared his throat and said, "While everyone is here today, let's talk about Mom's illness."

Dong was just about to nod.

Ma Xiaoyan pulled him aside and said, "What do you mean? If you need treatment, then go get it. How can we, as children, object? Right, sister-in-law?"

Su Ying was called out, glanced at her parents-in-law, and said, "Mom needs treatment. The medical expenses will be shared equally by the three families."

Ma Xiaoyan thought about it and thought it was okay.

It's not realistic to offer nothing, so just pay money.

"Okay, my sister-in-law suggested it and I agree."

Zuo Ziwen said, "Besides the money, Mom needs to go through a series of tests while she's in the hospital. After the surgery, she'll also need to stay in the hospital for a week. She'll need someone to take care of her. Dong Hua and I can't keep taking leave. Dad is old, and we're all daughters-in-law. Sisters-in-law, you two can take care of yourselves, and then we'll take turns helping out."

Ma Xiaoyan looked at her like a ghost, "Old Third Wife, what are you talking about? We don't have time."

Zuo Ziwen suppressed his anger and said, "Mom and Dad, you've left us all alone these years. My family has been taking care of everything. Now that I'm sick, you don't even want to take care of me?"

Ma Xiaoyan was shocked and didn't understand how someone could bite back like that: "What do you mean by 'we're leaving it all alone'? Third daughter-in-law, you have to be honest with yourself. Didn't your parents ask them to take care of your three children so you and your wife could go out to work?"

“Living in the same neighborhood…”

"Mom and Dad help you take care of your children every day, but they never take care of our Dong Yao and Dong Li."

When you were young, your children helped you take care of them.

When they get old and sick, we have to help them.

Isn't the money enough?

To be honest, she didn't even want to pay.

Zuo Ziwen said, "Second sister-in-law, what you said means that my parents don't want to go to your house to take care of me, or that your house is not big enough. You are so heartless. Who would want to live with my parents-in-law if they can live on their own? I am young and there is no other way. If I don't accept my parents, they will have nowhere to go." She said angrily.

"No matter what, they are our parents. Now that they are old and in need, we as their children can't just abandon them, right?" Zuo Ziwen said.

"My second sister-in-law and I will pay for it." Su Ying said calmly, "Third daughter-in-law, you can't always take advantage of others."

Su Ying doesn't like the mess that the Dong family is in.

I came here because of my man.

She didn't watch Ma Xiaoyan deal with Zuo Ziwen independently, but hid behind him.

Since when we are young, we need the elderly to take over the care of the children.

Then this family should naturally be the main force in providing for the elderly.

You are not like other families, where the family is harmonious and everyone can discuss things together. Instead, you are a family full of intrigue.

The third room is the main force, and the other two rooms pay for it. This is the best result.

But Zuo Ziwen disagreed, thinking that the second and third wives were heartless and ignored their sick parents-in-law and left everything to her family.

Zuo Ziwen went to see Dong Hua, hoping he would say a few words.

Dong Hua remained silent. This was a woman's quarrel and he couldn't get involved.

Zuo Ziwen could only look at Su Ying and say, "Sister-in-law, ever since you entered the Dong family, you have never cared about my parents' affairs. You are so carefree hiding in Pengcheng. How can you understand the hardship of taking care of the elderly?"

She fired at Su Ying.

Zheng Wendong pulled his wife behind him and agreed, saying, "Taking care of the elderly is indeed tiring work..."

Zuo Ziwen felt that this man was better than Su Ying and was more reasonable.

Zheng Wendong turned his attention to Dong Hua, "Third brother, you're just ignoring such a tiring job as taking care of the elderly and giving it all to your wife? This is totally wrong. Mom and Dad used to put all their thoughts and attention on you. You're really disappointing them."

Dong Hua didn't expect his elder brother to intervene.

It's embarrassing to be told that.

We are all adults and we all know what is going on.

Over the years, all the money and effort that the two elders spent when they were young went to the third room.

When you get old, taking care of yourself is naturally the main thing.

But people are selfish. He always wanted to step back and let Zuo Ziwen fight so that the three parties could share the pressure.

There was no way to avoid it now, so he could only say to Zuo Ziwen, "Okay, it'll only be about two weeks, let's go together, stop arguing."

Zuo Ziwen immediately turned his face black and threw his things back to the bedroom.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Su Ying pretended not to see it.

Ma Xiaoyan was feeling a little guilty, and when she saw her sister-in-law didn't say anything, she also kept silent.

At last……

Zheng Wendong gave a straightforward solution, "The third room will be the main caregiver."

"We need to hire a nurse and split the cost. Don't worry, Mom. I will go to the hospital when I am free." Zheng Wendong looked very filial.

He Shujun and Dong Dacheng didn't dare to speak, as if they were responding to someone and were afraid that Zuo Ziwen in the room would be unhappy.

"Old Four..." He Shujun asked.

"The fourth daughter has twins and is far away in Beijing," Zheng Wendong said. "I have a job, so even if I tell her, it will only cause more trouble and be of no use. A married daughter is like spilled water, and you can't expect the fourth daughter to take care of you. That would be embarrassing for the third and fourth daughters. If their relatives knew, they'd be mad at them."

He Shujun's eyes were dim.

Zheng Wendong had no choice, and he swore that he was not being sarcastic.

He was just saying the simplest and most realistic words.

It's just that these words may sound sarcastic.

After the relatives and Zheng Wendong and his wife retreated.

A big fight broke out in the third room, led by Zuo Ziwen. The quarrel was so loud that Uncle He called to scold Su Ying.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, I haven't served my parents-in-law for so many years.

Now that my mother-in-law is old and in the hospital, is it appropriate for me to just sit back and do nothing?
