"Tell me! Did Dr. Li come to you and tell you that my illness is serious?" Liu Lanying stared and asked loudly.
He Gang has been respectful and fearful of his mother since he was a child. When he saw her glaring at him, he suddenly became a little scared and sobbed: "Mom, it's really okay..."
"Okay, you want to make mom mad, right?" Liu Lanying got angry, holding a bowl of rice porridge in one hand, pointing at He Gang with the other and saying, "Gangzi, if you don't tell mom the truth, mom won't eat it from now on.
Don’t drink!”
Knowing that his mother meant what she said, He Gang cried: "Mom, I...I..."
"Does mother-in-law look like a grown man? If you have anything to say, just say it. Mom can handle it!" Liu Lanying said angrily.[
"Mom..." He Gang saw that the patients in the other three beds were looking at him strangely, wiped his tears, gritted his teeth, and cried: "Doctor Li said... that you... you have a growth in your head.
A tumor!"
"Brain...tumor..."
Liu Lanying murmured and repeated her son's words, and the hands holding the rice porridge bowl trembled more and more violently. Suddenly, the porridge bowl fell off her hands, and all the porridge fell on the bed.
Liu Lanying still clearly remembers that last year, the mother of the first two pillars in the west of the village was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the hospital, and died a few days later. She never thought that she would also suffer from this disease now.
Liu Lanying was heartbroken. She looked at her son He Gang who was cleaning the rice porridge on her bed with dull eyes and cried silently.
"Gangzi, does Dr. Li say my disease can be cured?" Liu Lanying suddenly stopped crying and asked calmly.
He Gang was startled and glanced at his mother. He didn't say anything, but kept wiping his tears.
Liu Lanying seemed to understand something. She smiled sadly and asked again: "I stayed in the hospital for a day and spent a lot of money, right?"
As soon as He Gang heard his mother ask about this, he knew that she had the idea of being discharged from the hospital. He cried and said: "Mom, don't think about anything. Just stay in the hospital for treatment. I will take care of the money issue. Dr. Li said.
As long as your disease is treated properly, it is still possible... you may live for many years..."
Liu Lanying said blankly: "Oh, then have you asked Dr. Li how much it will cost to treat this disease?"
He Gang said: "Doctor Li said... I don't know the cost of treatment, it may be hundreds of thousands, it may be hundreds of thousands, it may be millions..."
"Alas..." Liu Lanying sighed. She was completely desperate.
My son is working in a neighboring city to earn money, but he hasn't even saved enough money to ask for a wife; my daughter is studying in Yanjing Shi, and although she can do some odd jobs to earn some money while studying, she can only support herself; it's hateful
What's more, my husband lost all the family's meager savings through gambling. Not only that, he also owed others 30,000 yuan... let alone millions now. Even the minimum treatment fee of more than 100,000 yuan was taken by his own family.
Not out.
Asking relatives and friends to borrow money? In recent years, I have borrowed money from all my relatives and friends for my illness. How can I open my mouth? Even if I can borrow it, I won’t borrow it myself. I won’t be able to survive anyway, so I’ll put it off longer.
One day. It just adds more debt burden to the family. Rather than doing this, it is better to go home and wait for death.
At this moment, at the door of the ward, a young man in ordinary clothes peered inside. Liu Lanying squinted her eyes. After spotting the young man, she retracted her head and pointed toward the door.
, said: "Gangzi, your dad... look outside to see if your dad is here."
He Gang turned around and looked at the door of the ward, then rushed out, grabbed the young man who was about to run away, and said sadly and angrily: "Dad, where else do you want to run? Mom is seriously ill and may not survive."
How long will you have the heart to leave her alone? Why can't you stay with her properly?"
The young man was Liu Lanying's husband, He Gang and He Xiaoshou's father He Hua. After hearing his son's words, He Hua's body trembled suddenly, he turned around, his eyes widened, he grabbed He Gang's shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly: "
Gangzi, you...what did you say? Your mother...what happened to her?"
He Gang once again burst into tears and choked up: "The doctor said that my mother... my mother has a malignant brain tumor..."
"ah!"[
He Hua was stunned, his body seemed to have been drained, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground. Suddenly he beat his chest hard several times, hugged his head, and started crying like a child.
He Hua and Liu Lanying have been married for so many years and have given birth to a pair of children. It would be a lie to say that there is no affection between the husband and wife. Moreover, He Hua is not bad in nature. In the beginning, it was just because his family was too poor. I heard that some people relied on gambling.
He became rich overnight, so he became addicted to it, hoping to make a fortune through gambling and let his family live a good life. However, the more he lost, the more he gambled, and the more he gambled, the more he lost. He was in debt and rarely even dared to return home.
After his wife fell ill, He Hua was still obsessed with her. A few days ago, he even borrowed 30,000 yuan from someone with the idea of washing his hands in a golden basin after making a lot of money. Who knew that he lost everything overnight?
, had to escape again. Later I heard that
He said that his wife was ill and was hospitalized, so he sneaked to the First People's Hospital of Landao City overnight. He wanted to take a sneak peek at his wife. If his wife was fine, he was ready to continue "absconding to avoid debts". If his wife needed hospitalization, he would stay.
take care of.
After all, He Hua's heart was always thinking about this family and his wife and children.
Seeing his father sitting on the ground holding his head and crying, He Gang couldn't help crying again. The father and son started crying in the corridor of the hospital, and soon attracted many doctors and patients who were watching the excitement.
"Dad? Brother? You... what are you doing?"
A voice as clear and clear as an oriole sounded in the corridor, and then a fashionable, young and beautiful girl with short hair separated from the doctors and patients watching the excitement and stood in front of He Hua and He Gang.
The girl's voice reached the ears of He Hua and He Gang. They both raised their heads. After seeing the appearance of the beautiful short-haired girl in front of them, they were startled for a moment, and then showed different expressions. He Gang was surprised and sad, and He Gang was surprised.
Hua's face was full of shame.
This girl is none other than He Xiaoshou, who came from Yanjing overnight to visit her mother together with Xue Tianyi.
He Xiaoshou only knew that her mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, but she did not know what kind of illness her mother had. However, with Xue Tianyi following her, she was not worried at all. Along the way, Xue Tianyi had done several things
She already knew everything about the magical hand that could bring people back to life. With such a little miracle doctor who could almost bring people back to life, what else was there to worry about?
So she came to the hospital and saw her father and brother crying at each other. Although she guessed that her mother's condition must be very serious, she did not show much panic. She glanced at her father and said to her brother without speaking to him: "
Brother, does mom live in this ward? If you are not in there to take care of her, why did you run out?"
Although He Gang is He Xiaoshou's brother, he is a little frightened by this sister who has a somewhat motherly demeanor. He said: "Sister, you are back! Our mother..."
"Okay, let's talk after we go into the room. Let me see mom first..." He Xiaoshou said, waving to Xue Tianyi who was standing behind him, and the two walked into the ward where Liu Lanying was.
He Gang and his father He Hua looked at each other in confusion. Looking at Xue Tianyi's tall back, they didn't know who this young man who seemed to be very close to He Xiaoshou was.
He Gang followed closely behind his sisters He Xiaoshou and Xue Tianyi and walked into the ward. He Hua hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and followed.
"Mom, my sister is back!"
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Lanying, I...I'm here to see you..."
He Gang, He Xiaoshou and He Hua stood in front of the bed, looking at Liu Lanying who looked haggard and seemed to have aged much overnight, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
He Hua thought about his wife's condition and felt like a knife. He recalled all his actions in the past few years. He was really wasting his time as a husband and a father. He felt remorseful, raised his palm and slapped himself hard on the face.
