The heavens set sail from the courtyard

On the weekend, Shen Lin and her husband Na Wei drove to the nursing home where Xie's mother lived.

As soon as he arrived, Na Wei never stopped talking.

"This sanatorium is quite luxurious, like a five-star hotel!"

"In this location, the rent alone is terrifying. Living here for a month won't be less than tens of thousands. Where does your brother get the money?"

"Shen Lei wouldn't have used up all his savings to pay for his mother-in-law to live in a nursing home! How are they going to live as a couple in the future?"

"Okay! Be careful with your words when you meet your mother-in-law later." Shen Lin said unhappily.

In fact, Shen Lin was worried as soon as she entered the nursing home.

Before coming, she searched the Internet for information about the nursing home and inquired about the prices. The cheapest beds in the nursing home are also charged by the day, and the price is never less than four figures.

My younger brother is just a civil servant, earning less than 10,000 yuan a month. My sister-in-law earns a bit more, but she still can't afford such an expensive nursing home.

Shen Lin felt sorry for her brother and was worried that he would end up in poverty in order to take care of his mother-in-law.

"Your brother is the same. He wants to stay in such an expensive nursing home just because his mother-in-law wants him to. I don't know if he has enough money," said Na Wei.

"Hubby, I want to discuss something with you. I'm going to give Shen Lei 100,000 yuan for emergency."

"Okay, you decide. After all, it's a matter of life and death." Na Wei said without hesitation.

"Thanks husband."

The two walked all the way to the intensive care unit and saw Wang Gang coming out carrying a kettle.

"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here?" Wang Gang asked in surprise.

"Let's come and visit our mother-in-law." Shen Lin said.

"Oh, please come in, my mother-in-law just woke up."

"Is my mother-in-law in good health?" Shen Lin didn't rush into the ward.

"He has given up treatment and is temporarily staying in a sanatorium to recuperate." Wang Gang sighed.

"Ah, isn't that just spending money to wait for death?" Na Wei asked in surprise.

Shen Lin glanced at her husband with dissatisfaction and blamed him: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for your mother-in-law to hear it."

Na Wei realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly covered his mouth and apologized: "I'm sorry, I spoke without restraint."

Wang Gang said calmly: "It's okay. My mother-in-law has let it go a long time ago. It was her idea not to receive treatment. She just wanted to spend more time with her family in her last days."

Shen Lin asked: "Is Meilan here?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "She's busy with work."

"Ah! Your wife is still working on weekends. At this time, shouldn't she spend more time with her mother-in-law?" Shen Lin said in surprise.

"She's busy at work." Wang Gang said helplessly: "I've advised her before, but she never listened."

Shen Lin frowned and said, "So you are the only one taking care of your mother-in-law now?"

Wang Gang knew that Shen Lin was worried about him, so he couldn't help but say, "I'm fine normally, and the nurses in the intensive care unit are very responsible, so I don't have much to do."

Na Wei asked curiously: "Shen Lei, how much does it cost to stay in this sanatorium for one day?"

Wang Gang told the truth: "Xie Meilan's leader helped, and the monthly salary was 50,000 after a discount."

"Hiss!" Na Wei took a breath and said, "It's really expensive. I can't afford to live here even if I want to."

Shen Lin rolled her eyes at her husband and said to her brother: "Do you have enough money? I'll transfer 100,000 to you later."

"Sister, don't worry! I still have money, so I can hold on for now. Besides, I'm writing a novel now, and the hit rate is very good. I will also receive a lot of royalties next month."

"Why haven't I heard you talk about writing novels?" Shen Lin asked curiously.

"I have a lot of free time! So I found a side job. The novel I wrote is called "Things about the Ming Dynasty". It has just been uploaded for a few days and has received over a million hits. I have signed a contract with the website and will start receiving royalties next month." Shen Lin said proudly: "My brother is really talented. He can make money by writing a novel."

Na Wei was a little disapproving. Although he had never written a novel, he knew that only a few people could make money in that industry.

However, he also knew how his wife felt about his brother and would not make mindless sarcastic remarks.

"Writing novels won't affect your work, right?" Shen Lin asked.

"Don't worry! I'll just use my off-get off work time to write, so I won't mess around during work."

"That's good."

"Let's not stand here, let's go in!" Wang Gang welcomed his sister and brother-in-law into the ward.

At this time, Xie's mother was sitting on the hospital bed, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze. When she saw her son-in-law's sister and brother-in-law coming in, she wanted to get out of bed to say hello.

"Auntie, don't move." Shen Lin quickly stopped her, then walked to Xie's mother's bed with the gift.

Shen Lin noticed that Xie's mother looked very bad. The aftereffects of the previous chemotherapy made her skinny and most of her hair had fallen out. She looked like she was about to die.

"In this situation, I probably won't be able to stay in the sanatorium for long." Shen Lin thought secretly.

Xie's mother was very happy to see Shen Lin and Na Wei. She praised Wang Gang in front of them and said that it was a blessing in her previous life to find such a son-in-law.

Shen Lin felt very happy when she heard Xie's mother's praise. She was happier than when someone praised her in person.

"Alas, I was worried that Meilan would have no relatives to rely on after I was gone. Now that I see that my son-in-law is so good, I can leave with peace of mind." Xie's mother sighed.

"Auntie, don't say that. You will definitely get better." Shen Lin looked at Xie's mother's skinny hands, her eyes slightly red.

"It's okay. I have accepted the reality a long time ago. I just feel guilty towards my children for being a burden to them before I die. It must cost a lot of money to live in this nursing home, but they just refuse to tell me how much it costs exactly." Mother Xie looked at Wang Gang lovingly and said.

"Auntie, don't worry about money. It's the children's duty to be filial to their parents." Shen Lin said.

"I have asked someone to sell the house in my hometown. Although it is not worth much, it can at least provide some subsidy." Xie's mother said gently:
"Shen Lei, when I die, you and Meilan can scatter my ashes in the sea, and don't spend money to buy a grave."

"How about that?"

Before Wang Gang could say anything, Shen Lin called out, "Auntie, don't worry about that. Just focus on recuperating."

Shen Lin and Na Wei stayed in the ward for a while, contacted their parents in their hometown with their mobile phones, and communicated with Xie's mother through video call.

Xie's mother praised Wang Gang again. Shen's father and mother said they would come to the capital to visit Xie's mother as soon as possible, but Xie's mother politely declined.

She felt that she had already caused enough trouble to Wang Gang and did not want to cause more trouble to Wang Gang's family.

After staying for more than an hour, Shen Lin and Na Wei said goodbye and left, and Wang Gang personally escorted them out of the sanatorium.

"Sister, please arrange a physical examination for my parents. My mother-in-law was checked too late, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious."

"Okay, don't worry, I will arrange everything at home. You just focus on taking care of your mother-in-law. I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left." Shen Lin sighed.

After seeing off his sister and brother-in-law, Wang Gang received a bank account notification on his mobile phone, one hundred thousand yuan, from Shen Lin.

Wang Gang sighed, knowing that his sister and brother-in-law felt sorry for him, and he would find a way to pay the money back later.

After returning to the ward, Wang Gang found that Xie Meilan had returned and was persuading Xie's mother to receive treatment.

"Mom, my boss, Mr. Lu, helped me find a new treatment plan that may be helpful for your condition."

"I don't want to be treated anymore. It's a waste of money." Xie's mother said uncomfortably.

"Mom, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about me. I am your daughter, and I can't just watch you die." Xie Meilan cried.

Wang Gang came over and asked, "Do you understand the new treatment plan? What are the side effects? Is it effective?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Although the treatment method is still in the experimental stage, Mr. Lu has found a nationally renowned oncologist and is very confident that he can cure my mother." Xie Meilan said firmly.

Wang Gang frowned. (End of this chapter)
