Chapter 586 - 569
Although Peng Jiagen was adopted out, he was adopted at the age of sixteen. Now that his biological father is seriously ill, anyone with a conscience would come to take care of him, but we can’t force him if he doesn’t. As for the two cousin sisters, according to family custom, they should also take care of their parents when they’re sick, though they don’t need to pay for the medical expenses.
Seeing them shirk responsibility, Lu Jiaguang was furious, "None of them has to pay, and they don’t even come to take care of him. Why did we even have them?"
Second Aunt Lu knew and cursed the same words, but her curse was targeted, "What’s the use of having daughters? They don’t give money or care when their father is sick. If only we had given them away right from the start."
Lu Jiaguang felt her words were biased, and said unhappily, "Your big son Jiagen was the one you gave away, and what about now? His own father is ill, even if we gave him the travel expenses he still wouldn’t come to take care of him. "
Seeing Second Aunt Lu about to say more, Lu Jiaguang said with some irritation, "Second Uncle hasn’t even had surgery yet. After the surgery, he will need help with eating, drinking, and everything else in bed. Jiacai alone can’t handle it. Second Aunt, what will we do then?"
As for Second Aunt Lu, she had been in the hospital for a few days before the surgery, complaining of various aches and pains. It was unrealistic to expect her to take care of him after surgery.
Second Aunt Lu expressed that she, an old woman who couldn’t recognize a single character, had no idea what to do.
Lu Jiaguang suppressed his anger and said, "Before Jiajie returns, Jiazong and I will take turns relieving Jiacai for a couple of days."
The surgery was quickly arranged by the hospital because someone had been found. Knowing that Lu Jiaxin didn’t like both of them, none of them were tactless enough to call and tell her.
