The elderly also have moments of clarity. She fanned her face with her hand and said, "My child, I've caused you suffering. If I fall ill again, you must hit me, hit me hard, hit me until I wake up and change!" I grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, please don't say that!" She asked me for the phone and said, "Call your older brother and sister. You can't handle all the dirty and tiring work alone!" The call went through, and the eldest paternal uncle and eldest paternal aunt came in a hurry. However, the old lady fell ill again. She adamantly denied making the phone call herself and even claimed not to remember the slap marks on her face.
Hu Ruoyun Received a call from the director and the head of the department as soon as I got back from work. They came up and slapped me on both sides of my face, saying, "How dare you hit my mom!"
My daughter Mengmeng came back from school and protected me, saying, "My mom wouldn't hit my grandma! We have surveillance at home, why don't you take a look?"
The three of them angrily checked the surveillance, proving my innocence, but not a single one of them apologized to me, as if I deserved to be hit.
My daughter held me and angrily scolded her father, uncle, and aunt: "It's been so long since my mom had a good night's sleep, and you still treat her like this!"
The two "leaders" left without saying anything, and Hu Ruoyun turned around and blamed me, "Why didn't you explain earlier!"
Mengmeng advised me, "Mom, grandma not only gave birth to my dad, but also takes care of three families in turn!" Then she called her uncle and aunt one by one.
She said, "Children should not meddle in adult matters!" and hung up the phone directly.
Her aunt said, "Your mom is taking care of your grandmother, and your uncle and I have both contributed money... Starting next month, let's each add another 200."
Hu Ruoyun scolded me, "Why are you letting the children make a fuss? Both of them have status and position. Is it beneficial for our family if they cause trouble?"
Long-term suppression finally made me slap him like a shrew: "Stop this nonsense, mind your own business. You three sisters can discuss and handle it yourselves!"
Then, I joined a tour and went to Tibet.
The symptoms of depression that I had originally improved a lot.
I was gone for fifteen days, and there were over a hundred missed calls from the the Hu Family three sisters on my phone.
I'm back, and the the Hu Family three sisters apologized to me.
Even though the old lady was confused, she cried when she saw me for the first time: "My child, don't you want me anymore? If you're not here, mom doesn't want to live anymore!"
I can ignore other people's attitudes, but the old lady's behavior still softens my heart. My daughter said that during my absence, her father and her uncle and aunt have all gone crazy. My mother-in-law stayed at my eldest paternal uncle's house for three days. The old lady couldn't sleep at night, came out and rummaged through things, tore up toilet paper all over the floor, then went to the kitchen and smashed all the pots and pans. She doesn't remember my eldest paternal uncle's name, and just calls him "old man" or "old brother."
Stayed at eldest paternal aunt's house for a day. The old lady lit a fire in the bedroom, luckily it was discovered early and didn't cause a disaster. Who knew she then went to the bathroom, holding toilet cleaner, and said, "I'm thirsty"... eldest paternal aunt was so stressed that she had a breakdown, cursing her own mother: "In my next life, I won't be your daughter again!" "Why don't you just die in the state you're in!" But the old lady had no idea what she had done wrong. Getting angry is pointless.
The Hu siblings visited a nursing home in Jiangcheng and found one with decent conditions. After returning home, they held a family meeting. However, the elderly lady clearly stated, "I won't go; I want Ruyan to stay with me."
In the end, they decided to let their mother-in-law live at home, and I would take on the role of the caregiver.
I was also thinking, "It's not fair; why does this have to fall on me?"
I couldn't bring myself to let go and ignore the elderly lady, who looked so pitiful, like a child. When she was clear-headed, my mother-in-law knew exactly who was taking care of her and what my name was: "This is Ruyan, my youngest daughter-in-law. I love her very much; it's all the child taking care of me." But gradually, she became more and more confused.
She no longer knows how many children she has, and occasionally when her eldest paternal uncle and eldest paternal aunt come over, she doesn't even know who they are. Coincidentally, the visits from the two "big leaders" to see mom became even less frequent. Later on, I became the only person my mother-in-law was close to.
The nanny said, "Do you want to go sunbathe?" She didn't go and just sat there. But as soon as I said it, she immediately nodded and agreed.
The nanny said, "It's time for us to use the restroom." She ignored her, and only when I spoke did she obediently cooperate. Please forgive me for using the following language.
This summer, the old lady finally passed away. I helped her to the toilet, and she peacefully left while sitting on the specialized toilet chair. Over the past three years, I have experienced several breakdowns and depression. But when she really left, I still felt very sad, for her and for myself.
After crying, I calmly arranged the funeral, wanting to send the old lady off in a dignified manner. I cleaned her body, changed her clothes, and waited for the hearse to come and take her to the crematorium.
I thought I could finally start living a normal life. I couldn't wait to go back to school and be with the children, letting their youthful and vibrant smiles heal me.
Perhaps my composure provoked the the Hu Family siblings, and the three of them unanimously accused me of being cold-blooded, saying that I am inherently unfeeling.
"My mom passed away, why aren't you crying?"
"If it weren't for your carelessness, my mom wouldn't have left so early!"
...
That's a bunch of knives stabbing at my heart.
After saying this, my eldest paternal uncle and eldest paternal aunt want to settle accounts with me again: they give me 3200 yuan every month, and the old lady's pension is over 4000. They think that this money is not spent every month, and the old lady still has over 300,000 in savings, which should be divided among us.
I look at them coldly: the caregiver's salary is 4800 per month, the targeted medicine for the old lady is 2658, not to mention diapers, nutrition fees, daily injections and medication... You can use the addition you learned in elementary school to figure it out!
The two siblings each took out their phones to calculate, but neither made a sound.
I've already calculated this account: the money spent on the old lady is about ten thousand yuan per month, and her grave, urn, and other matters were also paid for from that three hundred thousand yuan.
eldest paternal aunt then asked, "My mom also had gold bracelets, gold chain, and so on. Where did you put them?"
"It's all on the old lady, if you want it, go get it yourself!" She didn't believe it, but she didn't dare to look at the dignified appearance lying in bed, so she instructed me, "You lift the blanket and show me." I did as I was told, the chain around the old woman's neck, the bracelet on her wrist, earrings, and rings all worn properly.
"You take it down for me!"
