Old Mister Lou was hit at the coccyx, resulting in a slight fracture.
Such an injury might not be serious for young people, as resting at home for a month or so would suffice for a full recovery. But for the elderly like him, the doctor's exact words were that he needed at least two months of care.
"Xiaotie, help me with the hospitalization paperwork and hire a caregiver for me. Front the money for now, and once I'm better, I'll withdraw some to repay you," he said.
Old Mister Lou didn't want to trouble the two of them, so as soon as the hospital admission was settled, he urged them to leave.
"Go about your business. Don't worry about me; I won't die," he insisted.
Hearing him say this left Lao Er feeling quite helpless.
But the old man was stubborn and adamantly refused to let them stay at the hospital. With no other choice, they followed his wishes and hired a caregiver to look after him at the hospital.
