Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 586 - 581: Seeing the Grandchildren

Luo Dashan, lying in bed, initially kept his eyes shut, appearing barely alive, and to those unaware, it might seem as though he had passed away.

But upon hearing the voices of the two little ones, his eyelids twitched, followed by a hint of vitality as he struggled to open his eyes.

The first thing Luo Dashan saw was Fang Pingying standing in front of the hospital bed, and upon seeing the two little ones in her arms, he guessed they were his grandchildren, which suddenly lifted his spirits. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to speak.

Seeing this, Fang Pingying immediately walked up with the two little ones and said with a smile, "Uncle Dashan, I’ve brought Ruirui and Yaoyao to see you. Zhiyong has also returned and is arranging your hospital transfer. Don’t worry, you’ll get better soon."

Upon hearing this, Luo Dashan became anxious. He shifted in his bed and waved to Fang Pingying, his voice very weak, "Ping... Ying, tell Zhiyong not to transfer me. I know my own body, don’t waste money."

"Uncle Dashan, Zhiyong is handling everything, you just need to focus on recovering," Fang Pingying comforted Luo Dashan for a while, then brought Ruirui and Yaoyao closer to him, "These are Ruirui and Yaoyao, I’ve brought them to see you."

With Luo Dashan awake, and Fang Pingying holding them, the two little ones were less scared and stared at Luo Dashan with their big round eyes.

Yaoyao, raising her little head, asked Luo Dashan, "Mom, is he Grandpa?"

"Mhm."

Thus, the two little ones obediently called out to Luo Dashan.

Luo Dashan looked at the pair of little ones, their big eyes, chubby little cheeks, reminiscent of children straight out of a New Year painting, which melted his heart. His spirit seemed to significantly improve, and he lifted his hand to touch Yaoyao’s head, closest to him. A smile spread across his face, "Good, good, this is the first time Grandpa has met you."

Yaoyao, noticing the IV drip hanging from Luo Dashan’s hand, made a pained expression, then looked at him sympathetically, "Grandpa, you are sick, you need an injection."

Seeing this, Ruirui also reached out and touched the hand Luo Dashan had the IV in, feeling pity as he said, "Getting an injection hurts."

Such small children already had the heart of compassion, which made it evident that Fang Pingying had raised them well, suggesting that they would certainly excel more than their family’s children when grown up.

Luo Dashan was somewhat excited, but remembering his frail condition, he sighed softly, "Grandpa isn’t afraid of pain, he’s just afraid he won’t be able to see you again."

Seeing Luo Dashan like this, Luo Honglan, standing by, wiped her tears and rushed to Luo Dashan’s bedside, whispering, "Dad, what are you talking about, how could you not see us again? We are transferring you to the county hospital, you’ll definitely get better."

"Honglan, you’ve also come back." At this moment, Luo Dashan did not have the energy to talk much. He patted Luo Honglan’s head and glanced around as if looking for someone, later seeming to remember something and frowned, asking Luo Honglan, "Where is your mom?"

Luo Honglan did not know how to answer, so she glanced towards Fang Pingying.

Seeing this, Fang Pingying immediately smiled and said, "She went back home to get some things for you, she’ll be here soon."

"She..." Though simple, Luo Dashan was not foolish. His son, daughter, and daughter-in-law had all returned, but Zhou Yunmei was absent without joining them, obviously implying something. Logically, it wasn’t Zhou Yunmei who would go back to fetch things.

He wanted to ask for clarification, but saw Luo Zhiyong and several doctors arriving at the ward. Before Luo Zhiyong could have a proper conversation with Luo Dashan, one of the doctors said, "Family members of the patient, no more talking, hurry up and pack, we are transferring him to the county hospital immediately. Your father can’t wait any longer."

Fortunately, since Luo Dahu had gone through this before, they had experience this time and quickly arranged everything.

Luo Zhiyong, Luo Dahu, and Luo Zhiming followed the ambulance to the county with the hospital personnel, while Fang Pingying, Luo Honglan, and Qiu Xiu took their own car to follow.

As Luo Zhiyong was getting onto the ambulance, Fang Pingying suddenly remembered something. She pulled him aside and whispered, "Most of your monthly salary goes to your two children, do you need money for your dad’s treatment?"

Luo Zhiyong looked deeply at Fang Pingying, not knowing how to express his gratitude. Even after the divorce, she still cared so much.

However, he couldn’t keep relying on her for everything. He nodded, "When I came back, I got some money from the army, it’s enough."

"That’s good." Fang Pingying nodded and urged Luo Zhiyong to get on the ambulance quickly so as not to waste time.

After the ambulance left, Fang Pingying and others also hailed a car at the hospital entrance and followed to the county.

On the car, Qiu Xiu played with the two children for a while, and the little ones, tired out from their antics, soon fell asleep.

Qiu Xiu handed Yaoyao to Fang Pingying, herself holding Ruirui, and then somewhat puzzled, she asked Fang Pingying, "Pingying, why is it just you, the kids, and Honglan coming back? Your mom..."

Halfway through, Qiu Xiu felt it wasn’t appropriate to continue and quickly corrected herself, "I mean, why hasn’t Zhiyong’s mom come back?"

Before Fang Pingying could answer, Luo Honglan spoke up with displeasure, "Auntie, don’t even mention my mom and Xu He. Those two are like stirrers, wherever they go, they stir up trouble."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiu immediately asked, "What happened, did they mess up your marriage again?"

"It wasn’t like they were there for my wedding really, it was..." Luo Honglan knew that talking about the seed borrowing incident would air dirty laundry and was too embarrassed to continue, so she just sighed, "Ah, better not to mention those things, anyway, my mom is currently detained at the police station."

Hearing the words ’police station’, Qiu Xiu’s expression changed, "What? What exactly happened?"

Luo Honglan then told Qiu Xiu about what Zhou Yunmei did at Fang Pingying’s house, including purposefully injuring Haohao. After listening, Qiu Xiu sighed deeply, not criticizing Zhou Yunmei, but only warned, "Don’t mention this to your dad for now. He still doesn’t know if he can be cured."

On hearing this, Fang Pingying immediately inquired, "What did the doctor say?"

Qiu Xiu said, "The doctor in town told me and your second uncle privately, even if he can be cured, your dad’s health won’t be the same as before. If he can take care of his normal life after recovering, that would be considered very good. If worse, he might still need someone to look after him."

This was indeed more severe than Fang Pingying had initially thought; she merely assumed that Luo Dashan’s illness was like Luo Dahu’s, which the local clinic couldn’t handle but would be manageable once transferred to a big hospital.

But since the doctor had said so, it must be quite accurate.

Consequently, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but inquire further, "Second aunt, I remember Yaoyao’s grandfather has always been in good health; how did he suddenly get so seriously ill?"
