Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 291 - 290: Reversal

"I want to be discharged, they’re all stopping me, they want me to die here. Xiaoqing, I want to go home, the smell of death here makes me feel uneasy, am I really going to die? Don’t hide it from me, even if I’m dying, I want to die at home, I can’t even go back home in the end."

Li Zhaodi cried, holding onto Gu Xiaoqing tightly, as if holding onto hope.

Gu Xiaoqing took a towel and wiped Li Zhaodi’s tears, patiently saying, "Grandma, that’s just in your mind. You’re too old for this, crying like a child, aren’t you afraid Grandpa will laugh at you?"

As soon as Li Zhaodi heard this, she glared at Li Qinghai and said defiantly, "Would he dare?"

Li Qinghai put on a smiling face, "How would I dare?"

"I just want to go home, I also want to go home."

Li Zhaodi was still stubbornly refusing to relent.

Gu Xiaoqing held Li Zhaodi’s hand and said, "Grandma, you want to go home, fine. We’ll discharge immediately."

Li Zhaodi immediately stopped crying and broke into a smile.

"Our Xiaoqing really cares about me."

Li Xuemei was anxious, this child really doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation, is being sick a joke?

This could result in death.

Li Qinghai and Gu Ruhai were also startled, how could Gu Xiaoqing let Li Zhaodi have her way.

If they left the hospital and wanted to return, it would be hard to persuade Li Zhaodi again.

How would they treat her then?

Would they have to tell Li Zhaodi the truth?

"Xiaoqing!"

Gu Ruhai sternly shouted.

It was the first time Gu Ruhai had treated Gu Xiaoqing so severely, his face was a bit ferocious, his cheek muscles were twitching, one could imagine how angry Gu Ruhai was.

"Dad, it’s okay! Isn’t it just the 20,000 yuan deposit we can’t get back? It’s fine, as long as my grandma is happy, even if it’s 200,000 yuan we wouldn’t mind, it’s just money, don’t feel bad for the money because of my grandma."

Gu Xiaoqing winked at Gu Ruhai.

Gu Ruhai suddenly realized.

Li Xuemei immediately understood too.

She started packing the things on the table, saying, "Yes, Ruhai, don’t say any more, it’s just a bit of money, it’s okay. The deposit can’t be refunded, but try to discuss with the director to see if the 50,000 yuan surgery fee can be refunded. If even that can’t be refunded, we’ll accept it. She’s my mother after all.

How could you, as a son-in-law, feel bad about the money? Let me tell you, Gu Ruhai, money is just worldly possessions. My mom says she wants to go home today, and we will go home."

She started packing the milk powder, cans, snacks, and cakes into a bag, and even instructed Liu Fen to start packing the washbasin under the bed.

The three of them understood.

This was Gu Xiaoqing’s strategy, seven thousand yuan gone just like that, Li Zhaodi, being such a frugal old lady, wouldn’t be anxious when she heard this?

The three of them pretended and started packing grandly.

Li Zhaodi, hearing this, couldn’t take it.

"Wait, all of you stop it."

Prevented Li Xuemei from packing.

Gu Xiaoqing turned to ask Li Zhaodi, "Grandma, what’s up? The sooner we pack, the sooner we can go back, maybe we can sleep at home tonight. So you don’t have to smell this stench of death and can’t sleep."

Li Zhaodi anxiously asked Gu Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, explain to grandma, what about the 20,000 deposit and the 50,000 surgery fee? Why can’t it be refunded? That’s 70,000 yuan, this hospital is a scam, fleecing people. We haven’t done anything, and they won’t refund it."

Gu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Grandma, it’s okay, isn’t it just a few tens of thousands? The hospital told us in the morning when we admitted that surgery fees are not refundable, it’s our choice not to have the surgery, of course, they won’t refund.

It’s okay, my parents will pay, we don’t mind, we’ll go home."

Kindly comforting Li Zhaodi.

But Li Zhaodi couldn’t feel at ease.

"None of you move, I won’t be discharged, even if I’m dying, I won’t be discharged. I want the surgery, if they won’t do it, I won’t leave. It’s 70,000 yuan, the hospital better cure me, or I won’t leave."

Li Zhaodi laid down on the hospital bed, pulled the quilt over her, and didn’t move.

Gu Xiaoqing turned to Li Qinghai with a smile.

Li Qinghai gave a thumbs up.

This granddaughter is impressive.

See, just like that, the old lady didn’t want to be discharged anymore, it wasn’t them preventing her.

Now even if you wanted to take her away with a grand sedan chair, Li Zhaodi wouldn’t do it.

Gu Xiaoqing deliberately came over and asked, "Grandma, you really don’t want to be discharged? I was just about to go to the inpatient department to complete the discharge procedures." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Li Zhaodi, holding onto the quilt, said, "I won’t be discharged, even if I’m dying, I won’t be discharged, bring me a meal, I’m hungry."

Li Xuemei quickly took out the dumplings from the thermos, they were still warm, and poured out a bowl of chicken soup.

"Mom, then eat."

Li Zhaodi sat up but refused to get out of bed, "I’ll eat here, I won’t get off. I must spend this 70,000 yuan, it’s too expensive."

This was driven by the thought of not wasting money, not concerning herself with the smell of death.

The few of them happily coaxed Li Zhaodi to eat, drink some chicken soup, and Li Zhaodi finally lay down to rest, exhausted from the fuss.

Gu Ruhai took Li Qinghai back.

Li Qinghai couldn’t help much here and worried that the old man would be overworked, which would be counterproductive.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t leave, asking her father to come in the evening so she could leave. After all, with Gu Xiaoqing there, any surprise moves from Li Zhaodi could be handled.

Otherwise, neither Li Xuemei nor Liu Fen could manage Li Zhaodi.

Li Xuemei sat with Gu Xiaoqing on a chair in the corridor, exhaling a sigh of relief.

"Your sharp mind is still the best. I really didn’t know what to do earlier, I was about to collapse, persuading your grandma so many times, she wanted to leave."

Li Xuemei was heartily approving of Gu Xiaoqing’s cleverness.

Gu Xiaoqing handed Li Xuemei a cup of water, "Mom, it’s fine, I’m here. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of grandma, make sure she’s safe. The doctor has scheduled the surgery the day after tomorrow, everything will be fine."

She understood Li Xuemei’s worry.

But only Gu Xiaoqing knew it was early-stage stomach cancer, not fatal, with proper treatment, Li Zhaodi could have more than ten years of life left.

But this comforting information, Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t say, in case Li Xuemei asked how she knew.

She couldn’t say anyway.

In the evening, Gu Ruhai brought Han Xue to switch shifts. With Gu Xiaoqing there, Li Zhaodi was well-fed, slept well, because Gu Xiaoqing kept emphasizing the notion of spending the tens of thousands entirely.

The old lady wouldn’t insist on being discharged, no matter what was said.
