Beiquan Sanatorium, while not the best, is among the top-ranked.
To put it another way, Director Lü of the State Administration of Foreign Trade is qualified to go in for recuperation, but according to the official regulations, Lu Qiaoge's current rank really doesn't qualify her.
I don't know how Director Lin managed to find such a place for the old lady.
Not to mention the old lady, even Wang Cuizhi was surprised.
Having lived in Beijing for so many years, especially in such a large compound, she knew things that ordinary people didn't.
Therefore, she was also clear about what kind of place the Beiquan Sanatorium was.
She turned her head and glanced at the old lady lying on the hospital bed, her face showing surprise.
The old lady must have burned an incredible amount of incense in her past life to have such a good life in this one.
To be honest, if this were in the countryside, an old woman like her, bedridden, would have been dead long ago.
As far as she knew, in her hometown village, an old woman became paralyzed, and after a year, her children stopped caring for her and she starved to death.
Although this old lady had this illness, she didn't really suffer much.
Her son and daughter-in-law are capable outside the home and filial to her at home. Her grandchildren are also good to her; none of them look down on her.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with her; she took good care of the old lady, keeping her clean and tidy.
That's why she felt that she deserved the most credit.
And at the beginning, she really did her best because she knew that if the old lady passed away, her role would be over.
The longer the old lady lives, the better it is for her.
But now Director Lin actually wants to send her mother-in-law to a nursing home.
And what right does her mother-in-law have?
She's just an ordinary old woman from the countryside, with a rural household registration. What qualifications does she have to go in?
She couldn't help but glance at Director Lin, who had a serious expression. Based on her understanding of this woman, this must be the truth, and she had no reason to lie to her.
For a moment, Wang Cuizhi forgot what she had come here for.
Director Lin looked at her child with a smile and waved her hand: "Hurry up and do your homework."
The youngest boy stuck out his tongue, as if he wanted to say he had already finished his homework, but his two older sisters pulled him back inside. Then the door to the room closed softly.
Director Lin asked the old lady in a gentle voice, "Mom, the spot has been approved. Of course, if you don't want to go, no one will force you, since there are many people who need this spot."
I'd like to ask you what you think, do you want to go?
If you want to go, pack your things and I'll take you in two days.
There are dedicated nurses and doctors there, and there are hot springs. I will visit you once a week.
If you want to stay, you can stay; if you don't want to stay, I can bring you back.
There's also a movie theater there; you can watch movies and listen to operas even if you're in a wheelchair.
The old lady was so engrossed in listening that she forgot what she was supposed to warn Director Lin about.
She asked incredulously, "Really? How could you possibly have gotten this spot?"
Then she added, "If you had this spot, why didn't you ask your mom for it and give it to me? Is there something fishy going on here?"
Director Lin said with a smile, "You see, you always overthink things. My mom is going to help my brother take care of his child now, so even if you offered her a spot, she still couldn't go."
Moreover, your condition requires recuperation and professional medical care.
As for why we weren't admitted before, it's because neither your son nor I were of the required rank. In the last two years, both of our ranks have been raised.
Secondly, the relaxed regulations have only been in effect for about six months.
I've reached the required level, so I tried writing an application, and to my surprise, it was approved. Of course, it ultimately depends on your decision.
If you don't want to go, no one will force you.
This is your home; you can stay here however you like.
The old lady had been interested for a long time.
She had heard other old ladies say this before.
When Cuizhi pushed her outside to bask in the sun, she would naturally chat with others.
Because her daughter-in-law manages the large canteen in the logistics department, many people take the initiative to talk to her.
Then she would listen to other people talk.
I naturally learned about this place.
Some people go in person because they are of a high enough rank, while others apply for family members to go in special circumstances.
However, this situation is indeed very rare.
Because the level is the ticket, if you don't have the right level, you definitely can't get in.
Wang Cuizhi's eyes reddened: "What do you mean? Are you trying to discard me after you've served your purpose? Ah, now that you don't need me anymore, you're trying to play tricks on me and scheme against me? You, surnamed Lin, you truly deserve to be an official; you are utterly disgusting."
Director Lin frowned, and his gentle expression gradually faded, replaced by a serious demeanor.
"Even recently, didn't your brother Fan and I talk to you?"
We've had similar conversations with you countless times, trying to make arrangements for your future.
But you were always so adamant, saying you would take care of my mother and never leave her, that you two were like a mother and daughter, inseparable.
Director Lin sighed at this point: "Alas, this is partly my fault, not entirely your responsibility."
But you know my personality. You've probably seen it all over the years I've been at home. I'm someone who greatly respects other people's opinions.
I treat my children this way, so how much more so you, Wang Cuizhi?
Since you're so adamant, I won't force you any further.
But now you have different ideas. You've started negotiating with me and telling everyone about your affairs.
Your mindset has changed, so you're no longer suited for this job.
Wang Cuizhi's mouth dropped open: "You still say... this is work?"
Director Lin countered, "If this isn't your job, then what do you think it should be?"
The old lady instinctively interrupted again: "Lin Limin, why are you saying that about Cuizhi? How is this work? She's taken care of me like family for so many years. She's a great benefactor to our family. Are you trying to destroy this bond? Work? I think you just don't know how to show off your job anymore?"
For the first time, Lin Limin did not ignore the old lady's unreasonable behavior.
She said with a serious expression, "I pay her a salary of thirty yuan every month, and I've been doing it for so many years. You should know that, right?"
Besides taking care of you, Wang Cuizhi does nothing else, you know that, right?
Because her job is to take care of you.
I pay her a salary, and she receives her wages according to her work. How did she become our family's benefactor?
I work at a company, and the General Administration pays my salary. I work diligently, often from dawn till dusk, and sometimes I even have to work overtime on Sundays.
"So you're saying I'm the General Administration's benefactor?"
Wang Cuizhi was so angry that her hands were trembling. They're doing this again!
She couldn't help but ask angrily, "How can these be the same?"
Director Lin said coldly, "Then tell me, what exactly is different?"
