wife's secret

Chapter 39 Don't Let The Old Man Go With Regrets

At this time, the nurse came in from the outside, saw me, and said, "What's wrong with you, husband? Your wife hasn't closed her eyes for three days and three nights, and you didn't come over to replace her? It's too disgraceful."

I couldn't laugh or cry. When I was about to explain that Xu Yanyan and I had nothing to do with each other, the nurse went on to say: "The old man is running out of time. Be a junior and show your filial piety for the last time. Don't be afraid of delaying your work. The leader has a bad impression of you and dare not ask for leave. You should ask for leave." Just ask for leave, who doesn't have an old age? If you can't, bring the leader of your unit to let him have a look..."

The nurse is straightforward, she regarded me as Xu Yanyan's husband, she thought it was not easy for me to ask for leave at work, and criticized me for nothing.

I couldn't help but say to the nurse, "You're making a mistake, I'm not..."

"What didn't you? Did I wrong you?" Before I could explain, the other party interrupted directly, "I've seen you husbands a lot, and you always have excuses and reasons. Alright, Don't quibble, just sit here honestly and let your wife go home and have a good sleep."

Then, the nurse began to tell me what the numbers displayed on the various instruments beside the old woman's bed meant, and under what circumstances to call the doctor.I have no choice but to listen honestly.

After the nurse finished speaking, she took the patient's blood pressure and left.

Seeing my embarrassed look, Xu Yanyan pouted and laughed softly.Then, she said, "Chen Yang, thank you."

I shook my head helplessly, and couldn't help but say, "The old man seemed very excited just now."

Xu Yanyan looked at the comatose patient, pulled me aside, and said in a low voice, "Please understand. Auntie is someone who has no tomorrow. I don't want my aunt to leave with regrets."

Next, Xu Yanyan explained.

It turned out that when Xu Yanyan was very young, her parents passed away one after another, and she became an orphan. She has only one relative, which is her aunt.It was my aunt who brought up Xu Yanyan.Due to the lack of fatherly love and motherly love, her aunt neglected to discipline her, Xu Yanyan has been with a bunch of unscrupulous girls since she was a child, and she learned badly after coming and going.After Xu Yanyan's misdeeds continued to spread to her aunt's ears, she was very angry. She tried to persuade Xu Yanyan to be a serious person many times, but Xu Yanyan didn't listen.Gradually, my aunt was extremely disappointed with Xu Yanyan.

Disappointment is disappointment, Xu Yanyan is her aunt's relative after all.My aunt is in poor health, and when she gets older, she knows that she will leave this world at any time. The old man is most worried about Xu Yanyan. The thing she hopes most is to see Xu Yanyan get married before she leaves.The girl is married, and with a husband who cares about her, loves her and treats her well, the old man is at ease.

After listening to Xu Yanyan's narration, I didn't speak for a long time.I really didn't expect that Xu Yanyan's experience was so unfortunate.It turned out that she was an orphan, so poor.

"Now you know why I told my aunt that you are my boyfriend?"

"I fully understand. In order not to let the old man go away with regrets, I will continue to play the role of your boyfriend in the days to come. Don't worry, I will play this role well."

"Chen Yang, what are you talking about? You will always be here with me?" Xu Yanyan looked disbelieving.

"Yes."

At this point, I had a very selfish thought.Just like I fooled the other party a few days ago, I have to continue to fool the other party.In a word, I want to continue to play the emotional card.As long as Xu Yanyan is touched, I can know the truth from the other party that she bought the tower-shaped blue and white jar from Professor Zhou.

I don't even believe that Xu Yanyan likes antiques. Someone must have entrusted her to buy them.She must have been used.

By whom?

This is what I want to know the most.

"You don't need to accompany me." Xu Yanyan's tone suddenly became cold.

I was taken aback, "What?"

"Speak!" Xu Yanyan stared into my eyes, "Why are you looking for me? You didn't come here to see my aunt. You must have something to do. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"No matter how big it is, it's not as important as respecting the elderly." My voice was not loud, as if I was talking to Xu Yanyan, but also as if I was talking to myself, "The old man has been worrying about the younger generation all his life. Let us, the younger generation, do our best. Be filial."

Xu Yanyan didn't speak any more.She quietly looked at the old man on the hospital bed, wondering what she was thinking.

In this way, I accompanied Xu Yanyan to guard the old man for three days in the intensive care unit of the hospital.During these three days, Xu Yanyan and I took turns going out to get food. I asked her to go home and rest, but she refused to listen.There was no way, I borrowed a special wire spring cot from the hospital, and when they were tired, they took turns lying on the bed for a while.

During this period, the nurse who trained me often came in to change the old man's dressing and measure his blood pressure.Seeing that I stayed there honestly, she praised me and said that I had made great progress and looked like a model husband.I couldn't laugh or cry, the explanation was already unclear, so I continued to play the role of Xu Yanyan's husband.

During this period, Xu Yanyan's aunt was sometimes confused and sometimes sober.When I was awake, it was the same as the beginning, the old man looked at me with great relief, and opened his mouth from time to time, wanting to say something to me.I know what the old man is thinking. Whenever this happens, I immediately go to the bedside and tell the old man that you can rest assured that I will take good care of Yanyan and so on.

Three days later, the old man left.I helped Xu Yanyan take care of the funeral. After cremation, I bought a cemetery for the old man in the cemetery under Beishan in the suburbs, and put the old man's urn in place.Xu Yanyan kowtowed four times to the old man's tombstone.I bowed three times very seriously.

Walking out of the cemetery, Xu Yanyan said to me: "Chen Yang, can you tell me what you need from me now?"

"I want to know whose bank card it is?"

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"Chen Yang, don't lie to me," Xu Yanyan stared at me, "You didn't find me because of the bank card. Tell me, what is it?"

We have gotten to know each other very well in the past few days together in the hospital, and I know I can't lie to each other.I said, "Professor Zhou from the School of Civil Engineering, you should know him, right?"

Originally, I thought Xu Yanyan would be surprised when she heard this, but she shook her head calmly, "What Professor Zhou? I don't know him."

"You spent 20 yuan to buy a Tangta-shaped blue and white pot from Professor Zhou, how come you don't know him?" I was a little impatient.If the other party refuses to admit it, it will be very difficult.

In fact, before looking for Xu Yanyan, I thought that the other party would not admit it.In order to get the things, the other party used beauty on the professor.For a woman, this is an unspeakable thing.No one would admit it.

It was precisely because I was worried that the other party would not admit it that I wronged myself to play the other party's boyfriend and stayed with me in the hospital for three days.If the other party doesn't admit it, my emotional drama will be in vain.
