Aunt's shouting had no effect and instead woke Grandma up. Grandma took one look and shouted, "Quick, quick, go call your dad!" Uncle was awakened and sleepily made his way to Lu Xiaoguang's room, but as soon as he entered, he fainted. It turned out that Uncle had drunk last night and had leftover food for breakfast. The leftovers were moldy as well. Grandma was so angry that she stomped her feet, saying, "What are we going to do!" Aunt wiped her tears and shouted, "Mom, what are you waiting for? Call 120!" Grandma hurriedly called 120, and a man answered the phone. He told them not to worry, saying the ambulance would arrive soon. Grandma angrily said, "You tell the driver to enter the village from East Village Entrance; otherwise, we won't pay. Remember, from East Village Entrance!" Aunt glanced at me and said, "You go wait at the village entrance and guide the driver." I nodded and took Big Black dog to the entrance. After waiting for twenty minutes, the ambulance arrived. I pointed to another road and said, "You took the wrong way; you should come in from over there." The driver shook his head and said, "Little girl, going that way is a longer route; we can't afford the delay." I insisted he take the other road, but he refused. So I sat down on the ground and refused to get up. The driver had no choice but to follow the route I indicated. Once in the village, Grandma and Aunt were holding Lu Xiaoguang, crying heart-wrenchingly. Uncle was also carried out; he was conscious but dazed, mumbling nonsense.
As the ambulance doors were about to close, Grandma suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Both I and the Big Black dog looked over at her.
Grandma said, "Let's not go. It's not a serious illness anyway; just someone should stay with him."
Aunt wiped her tears and said, "Mom, you go with him. I'm not going. I need to go back and tidy up; otherwise, I can't stay at home."
Grandma nodded, "Alright, I'll go. An Zixuan, you follow the car."
Just as I was about to get in the car, Aunt yanked me down and said fiercely, "What are you following for? You can't help at all! Getting in is just wasting space!"
The medical staff helplessly said, "What's going on with you? How can this child follow alone?"
I pleaded, "Grandma, Aunt, you can go without worry; I'll take care of things at home."
Aunt shot me a glare and said, "Who needs you to take care of it? You're useless."
The ambulance drove away, and the Big Black dog looked at me, whimpering.
I patted its head and said, "It'll be alright soon."
The next day, I had a good sleep.
In my previous life, I couldn't sleep all night long and lost a lot of hair.
But now, I slept incredibly soundly.
After breakfast, I took some money from Grandma's hidden stash in her shoes and ran to the convenience store to buy some bread to stuff into my backpack.
Grandma hid the money in her cotton shoes and even put several pairs of socks over them.
She thought that would keep me from finding it.
When I arrived at the hospital, Grandma and Aunt were gathered around Lu Xiaoguang's bed, asking him how he felt with concern.
Lu Xiaoguang looked much better; he said, "Mom, Grandma, I want to eat something."
Aunt shot Grandma a glare:
"I told you not to eat it, but you insisted it was fine! Now look, Xiaoguang is like this, are you satisfied?"
Grandma's expression was not good as she defended herself, "How would I know? We always ate like this in previous years, and nothing ever happened!"
I bent over, breathing heavily as I walked into the hospital room.
