"It's just a minor illness. It will be fine after the operation. Dad was worried that he wouldn't be able to take care of it, so he asked me to come back to help."
"Surgery? Mom won't do it. I'll put you two in debt and not be able to save my life. Mom won't do such a stupid thing."
Zhao Mei is smarter than her son imagined, and she is also very optimistic, which shows that she is a very shrewd person who manages her family.
"What's more important, life or money? Why are you so stupid, Mom? I told you it's not a serious illness and it will be fine after the operation."
"Of course life is important, but money is equally important."
Zhao Mei continued with a look of frustration and helplessness on her face: "Mom still hopes to save money to marry you a wife and have a baby. Now marriages in rural areas are becoming more and more competitive. Our family cannot be stingy when marrying a wife."
"What are you talking about? We can make money if you don't have any, so don't worry about it." Wei Hengxun said anxiously.
"How can I not worry? You are already twenty-five years old, and you have embraced the son of the pillar next door. You don't even have a girlfriend, and your mother didn't close your eyes even after she died."
When Zhao Mei said this, she was obviously emotional, and two lines of muddy tears fell from her eyes.
In rural areas, when it comes to getting married and establishing a career, especially for the elderly, it is considered a failure in life if they cannot see their son get married, and they will not be able to close their eyes with peace of mind even after they die.
"Auntie, let me tell you the truth." Tang Shuxin on one side walked over and said, "You have stomach cancer..."
"Shu Xin..." Wei Hengxun interrupted her nervously, with dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't know how to blame her.
Even Wei Hongcai, who was behind him, became nervous, fearing that once his wife found out that she was terminally ill, she would give up on herself even more, and even bear a psychological burden, and her condition would worsen faster.
But Tang Shuxin understood that although Zhao Mei was a rural woman, she was very smart.
I've seen everything, there's no point in hiding it, it's better to tell the truth.
Thinking of this, he said, "Although it is gastric cancer, you can live a few more years after surgery. You also know that today's medical technology is so advanced that there may be a treatment method in the next few years. Why do you have to be so pessimistic?"
Although what she tells is also a lie, she is very smart, and it is easier for people to believe her when she mixes the truth with lies.
"This girl is..."
Zhao Mei has been focusing all her attention on her son since he entered the ward.
Of course, this was a sign that he felt his time was running out. He wanted to see his son more, but he ignored Tang Shuxin and Zhang Yang who followed him.
Now, seeing the sudden appearance of such a beautiful and majestic girl in military uniform, one will inevitably be surprised.
"she is me……"
"I'm Hengxun's girlfriend. I heard that my aunt was sick, so we came over to visit."
Tang Shuxin rushed to answer without waiting for Wei Hengxun to finish.
Of course she was telling a white lie. Regardless of whether she has surgery or not, the old man in front of her has only a short time left. Why can't she be happier?
Wei Hengxun once risked his life to save her, so she was full of gratitude and affection for him, but she didn't know whether it could be transformed into feelings.
At least now she admits that she is his girlfriend without any hesitation...
As soon as she said this, everyone in the ward was shocked.
Wei Hengxun knew that what she told was a lie. Although she cared about him everywhere, she never made any confession.
At this moment, I don’t know whether her words were a lie to the old man, or whether they were a confession.
His parents were surprised and excited, and their eyes immediately burst into tears.
The vicissitudes of life brought a smile from the heart, even forgetting the pain of terminal illness.
The one who burst into tears the most was Zhang Yang, who looked like he was about to cry without tears. He was also wondering whether it was a confession or a white lie?
Damn, it must be a lie. You are a big liar. You even lie to dying patients. Are you not a soldier?
Is there still morals for soldiers? Is there still justice? I cursed with grief and anger in my heart.
"Really, girl? You won't lie to me, an old woman, right? You are so beautiful, you look like a girl from the city. How can we, Hengxun, be so lucky?"
Zhao Mei wiped away tears of joy and expressed the same thoughts as Wei Hongcai.
"Really aunt, I am also from a rural area, and my family is also very poor."
Tang Shuxin smiled and continued: "Originally, Hengxun and I planned to work hard for a few years before getting married. After all, we are both still young and our career is our top priority. We already have some savings. Now that we need money for the surgery, we will spend it. Anyway, the wedding is simple.
Just keep it simple, this is my birth year and it is not suitable for marriage, so I can only wait until next year to hold the wedding."
What she said was very detailed and grand, which made Zhao Mei even more convinced and she couldn't close her mouth.
"Hengxun, you have such a good girlfriend, why don't you tell mom?"
Zhao Mei scolded her son and continued: "You are too honest and not as straightforward as other girls. If Mom hadn't been sick this time, you don't know how long you would have kept it secret?"
"That's right, you are so outrageous. Bring it back to us as soon as possible so that you can feel at ease earlier." Wei Hong followed his wife's scolding, complaining happily of course.
Zhang Yang couldn't bear it any longer, walked to Tang Shuxin, pulled her arm hard, and motioned her to go outside to talk.
He couldn't bear to expose this kind of lie to the excited and happy family, and he was more worried about Zhao Mei's condition.
It can be seen from her excited expression that it would be a huge blow to her if she was exposed.
Tang Shuxin didn't know what he was looking for, so she was stunned for a moment and then walked out.
"Mom, should you agree to the operation now?"
"Yes, of course I will do it. My wife doesn't care about money, so what does your mother care about? Let's make more money after we spend it. I still hope to live a few more years and have grandchildren."
Zhao Mei's words agreeing to the operation came from behind. After hearing this, Tang Shuxin breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy in her heart.
"Didn't you say that you have a pure comrade-in-arms relationship with him? Why are you now his girlfriend again?"
Zhang Yang deliberately walked a little further away to avoid being heard by people in the room. Of course, it was also easier to vent his inner anger and dissatisfaction.
Tang Shuxin was stunned, thinking that this is why you called me out? It's too much to worry about, right?
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Why doesn't it matter?"
When she asked Zhang Yang, he didn't know how to answer. After a pause, he continued: "You are a soldier, how can you lie casually? What's more, the other person is still a patient. How bad will the impact be if you find out?"
He could only use such a high-sounding reason. If he said he was jealous, this girl would probably fall out with him on the spot.
"I mean well. She has a terminal illness but insists on giving up treatment and will die soon. Isn't it right to persuade her to have surgery?" Tang Shuxin gave a rare explanation.
She couldn't even figure it out herself. What should she explain to the arrogant man in front of her? What did it have to do with him?
Of course, this idea came to her depressingly after she finished explaining.
"Who said she was going to die?"
"What the doctor said, didn't you hear it in the department just now?" Tang Shuxin became angry.
"Does it matter if he says it? Does it mean it's terminal if he says it's terminal?" Zhang Yang looked disdainful.
"Do you have the final say?" Tang Shuxin was even more disdainful.
I wonder, are you asking this question without knowing anything? If you don’t believe the doctor, how can he still believe you?
Although you are a doctor, you are just a student. Are you really treating yourself as a dish?
"Well, I have the final say. If I say she can't die, she won't die."
"Just you?"
"Well, if you don't believe it, let's make a bet."
Zhang Yang paused and said, "If I cure her disease, you must explain to them that you are not his son's boyfriend."
This is also the minimum requirement for him. The main reason is to see that the girl he likes is happily adopted as someone else's daughter-in-law. How can he bear that feeling?
"As long as you can cure her, I can do whatever you want." Tang Shuxin agreed.
In her opinion, the instruments and equipment had already been sentenced to death for Zhao Mei. Could it be that spending so much money to buy these high-tech devices were just decorations?
What's more, as long as it is cancer, it is an incurable disease. This is recognized all over the world. How can it be cured by him alone?
"It's a deal."
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the ward.
Tang Shuxin was stunned again, thinking with his confident look on his face, could he really create miracles?
In the ward, the family was still chatting happily, and the sadness they felt when they learned about the terminal illness was completely gone.
Especially Wei Hengxun's parents were full of longing for the future life.
"Auntie, let me check your condition." Zhang Yang walked to the hospital bed and said.
"Are you..." Zhao Mei asked curiously.
She also saw Zhang Yang just now, but after Tang Shuxin took the initiative to admit that she was her daughter-in-law, she didn't pay attention to the young man at all.
"Mom, he is my friend." Wei Hengxun explained.
"Are you a doctor?" Zhao Mei thought to herself, at such a young age, are you a doctor? If you are not a doctor, why would you check your condition?
"I am a student at Donghai Medical University, and I can be considered a doctor." Zhang Yang admitted awkwardly.
He didn't know how to answer. If he said he was a doctor, the other party would ask about which hospital the doctor was from, etc., but he would force himself to lie the same way.
It doesn't matter if he lies, it doesn't matter if he is shameless, but just now he was still blaming Tang Shuxin in a high-sounding way.
If she lies now, she will definitely leave some clues for him. What if she doesn't admit the bet?
"this……"
Zhao Mei had a complicated look on her face, paused and said, "You want to do an internship, right?"
It was obvious that she regarded Zhang Yang as an internship and only used herself as an experiment, so naturally she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
"Mom, let him check it out." Wei Hengxun's naturally upright character made him embarrassed to refuse, so he said.
Zhao Mei breathed a sigh of relief and no longer objected. Since she was her son's friend, she couldn't refute his reputation.
Zhang Yang reached out and kneaded her stomach, and he could feel an obvious hard lump.
It should be a malignant tumor, which has occupied two-thirds of the stomach. The condition is naturally very serious.
With a wave of his arm, there were two silver acupuncture needles in his hand. He lifted up the corner of Zhao Mei's clothes and gently inserted them into the Wailing point below the stomach.
