She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Chapter 566

"Old Chen, even if you're furious, you can't just pee and poop anywhere."

"I've cleaned up for you three times today. I'm right outside. What's wrong with calling me if you need to use the restroom?"

"The doctor said your body isn't at the point where you're incontinent. Aren't you just creating trouble for me?"

Old Chen mumbled incoherently, "You... took my son's money, so you should... serve me well."

Old Li looked sullen. "I did take money from your son to serve you, but I didn't charge you based on the price for incontinence. Besides, I take good care of you every day, unlike those who just try to fool you."

"Look at you, you're all dry and comfortable. You haven't developed any bedsores after lying in bed for months. I've taken such good care of you, why are you taking it out on me?"

Old Chen completely ignored him. After he became paralyzed, his personality became extremely strange. Even if Grandpa Li spoke to him nicely, he might suddenly start cursing.

Grandpa Li cleaned him up again, but after returning home and thinking it over, he ultimately decided not to continue taking the job.

Chen Weiguo is becoming increasingly difficult to communicate with. It's as if he's only getting his money back if he takes money to serve him and then has to defecate and urinate on the bed.

Grandpa Li isn't so short of money that he has to do this kind of work. His children are filial and give him money from time to time, so even if he does nothing, he won't starve.

Serving Chen Weiguo was just giving himself something to do, but although he wasn't afraid of hardship or dirt, he really couldn't stand this man deliberately picking on him.

If Chen Weiguo's incontinence was due to physical reasons, Grandpa Li would continue working out of pity for him. It was something that couldn't be helped; such a disease is truly pitiful.

But Chen Weiguo is simply a malicious person who deliberately makes things difficult for others.

After much deliberation, Mr. Li decided to decline the offer.

Chen Xiangbei felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Grandpa Li had never complained before, and he didn't know that his father was so shameless now.

But Grandpa Li was the kindest person Chen Xiangbei could find in the neighborhood. He wanted to offer more money to keep him, but Grandpa Li still refused.

Every day, he had to clean up after another old man, change his clothes, and he did it on purpose. No one could stand it, and no matter how high the price, Grandpa Li was unwilling to do it.

Seeing that he was really unwilling, Chen Xiangbei could only give him another red envelope and part ways amicably.

After Grandpa Li left, Chen Xiangbei went to see Old Chen under the cover of night. He was so angry at Old Chen that he almost laughed.

“Dad, if you don’t want Uncle Li to take care of you, that’s fine. He really doesn’t want to take care of such a difficult old man like you. I’ll find someone else for you. As for how that person will take care of you, I can’t do anything about it.”

Old Chen couldn't speak clearly and kept yelling and cursing at him.

Chen Xiangbei knew without even hearing it that they were definitely scolding him for being unfilial.

That doesn't matter anymore; no matter what the children do, the old man is never satisfied.

Chen Xiangbei said he had no choice, but he still carefully selected someone to serve him. However, after a few days, the person couldn't stand it either. He even preferred not to serve the old man and left a note on their table before running away.

Unfortunately, during those few days, Chen Xiangbei was sent out on assignment, Chen Xianghong was resting at home due to severe morning sickness from her pregnancy, and Chen Xiangdong and his wife stopped coming after being scolded by Old Chen a few times.

So no one noticed that this wretched old man had fallen into a state where no one could serve him.

Old Chen lay alone in bed, having not eaten for several days.

On the first day that person ran away, Old Chen was unaware of the situation and continued to urinate and defecate on the bed in his usual way, just like when he was looking for trouble. But after a long time, no one came. He was so angry that he secretly decided that when Chen Xiangbei came to see him, he would complain to him and say that he had not done his job properly.

But the man didn't feed him all day. Old Chen was hungry and cried out even louder, but no one came in until night.

The next day, Old Chen was so hungry he was seeing stars. The stench on the bed and the stickiness of excrement and urine on his body made him feel uncomfortable all over, but still no one brought him food or wiped his body.

That evening, Old Mrs. Yin realized something was wrong. Old Chen's house hadn't been opened all day, and she hadn't seen anyone taking care of him. Old Mrs. Yin decided to go in and check on him.

But she was a little afraid to go in alone, so she called for Grandma Wang and her husband, Lao Zhang.

The three of them carefully walked in, carrying kerosene lamps.

"Old Chen, are you alright?" Grandma Yin asked softly.

The bedroom door was tightly closed, and there was not a sound.

Grandma Yin and Grandma Wang exchanged a glance and saw unease in each other's eyes. Could Chen Weiguo be dead?

Zhang Xingfa, being the only man among the three, volunteered to go to the front and push open the door.

Soon, a strong stench hit them, and all three covered their noses.

Out of basic courtesy, they forced themselves to stay upright and slowly walked to the bedside.

Old Chen lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his cheeks sunken. The bed was dirty and messy, and there were even flies buzzing around.

It's early summer now. Even a healthy person will stink if they don't shower for a day, let alone Old Chen, who's covered in excrement and urine.

The man wasn't as attentive to him as the previous Grandpa Li; he hadn't been cleaned or washed for a day or two before the man ran away.

Old Chen cursed at people, but they ignored him. As long as he didn't starve, they didn't care about anything else.

Eventually, they decided they didn't want to continue.

Under the pressure of Old Lady Wang's gaze, Zhang Xingfa reluctantly reached out to check his breathing.

Although faint, it is still there.

Zhang Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "He's not dead, but it seems he's not far from it."

The longtime neighbors, understanding each other's needs, took a clean blanket from his cabinet and laid it on the borrowed tricycle before taking the man to the hospital.

After all, they couldn't just get the tricycle that someone had kindly lent them dirty.

Zhang Xingfa rode his tricycle, feeling miserable. Being neighbors with Chen Weiguo was truly a nightmare.

Grandma Yin went to find Chen Xiangdong. Chen Xiangbei had told her son Yin Sheng before he was sent to another post, so she couldn't find him now.

As for Chen Xianghong, Old Lady Yin could only send her son by bicycle to the military base to inform them.

If Chen Weiguo hadn't caused such a rift with his children over other women, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

When Chen Xiangdong arrived, Yu Hongzhen, his son-in-law, arrived even faster than him, and had already wiped the dirt off his body.

"Dad, Xiang Hong isn't feeling well and has gone to bed. You can tell me anything." Yu Hongzhen held a warm towel in his hand. He had vomited several times while wiping himself. How could he have gotten himself into such a dirty state in just a few days?

Chen Xiangdong rushed over in the middle of the night, speaking in a very bad tone. Even Yu Hongzhen sounded more like Old Chen's own son than him.

"Dad, why do you always do such stupid things? Old Li took such good care of you before, but you insisted on driving him away. Now look what's happened, you're covered in excrement and we still have to take care of you."

In the middle of the night, you almost starved to death, and now your neighbors have to take you to the hospital. What are you trying to do? Do you really not want to live anymore...?

Chen Xiangdong didn't say the rest, but everyone present understood.

Since Old Chen became worthless, and even his pension was used for medical treatment and hiring people, Chen Xiangdong stopped wanting to get close to him.

He's already moved out to be a live-in son-in-law, so the responsibility of taking care of Dad has nothing to do with him.
