Chapter 264 The figure of collapse (12 chapters left)
The atmosphere in the ward seemed a bit depressing when the young girl made it so.
She didn't know what was going on and continued to complain: "Dad, I'm serious. I just started treatment and I have already spent so much. I don't know how long the treatment will take. What will you do if you don't have money?"
"The hospital still owes money, and we can't even borrow the money. I..."
"Stop talking, girl, even if dad sells iron and sells the house in his hometown, he still has to treat you. That's not something you should worry about." The middle-aged man is as helpless as he can be.
But what his daughter said was true. He had borrowed money from all the relatives at home, and it was difficult for him to borrow a large sum of money for treatment.
Hundreds and thousands of dollars are not enough.
"Dad, that's it. Really, my mother doesn't care about me anymore, why do you care about me?" This sentence came out of the girl's mouth.
But his father seemed to be awakened and nodded quickly: "Yes, your mother's family has money. I'll call her and ask her to borrow some."
"Dad, don't embarrass yourself in front of her!" the girl screamed and shouted: "Why don't you understand? If she takes care of me, she won't dislike you for being poor, and won't abandon me and run away with others.
!”
"(one_one)" Xia Zekai's eyes widened. He never expected to come to the hospital to see his grandfather and hear such a bloody drama.
Everyone else in the ward was stunned. No one thought that the girl by the window had such a story, but as soon as they heard it, they knew that it was another sad story.
He could ignore other people's weird looks, but what his daughter said hurt his heart. The middle-aged man pulled his hair, and the expression on his face was a little distorted.
After a while, after he calmed down, he whispered: "Girl, it's okay for me to be embarrassed, and it's okay for your mother to look down on me, but you are her biological child, so I'm going to beg her to give you some money to treat your illness. You still can't help me."
You are young, only in your 20s, you still have a lot of hair to grow in the future, at worst, when you get better, I can just go work and earn money to pay her back!"
"I don't want it. I don't want you to beg her. Dad, I won't want her dirty money even if I die!" The father's words fell in the girl's ears. Instead of having a consoling effect, they made her already fragile heart even more fragile.
Already.
She screamed, pointed at the window, and said: "Dad, if you dare to ask her to borrow money, I will jump down right now and die. I won't ask her for help. I think she is dirty!"
This scream was even heard by the nurse on duty outside. The door of the ward opened and two nurses came in quickly. The first thing they looked at was the hospital bed by the window. The girl on the bed was bending her knees and hugging her legs with her head buried in her hands.
Choking on my legs.
The middle-aged man leaned against the window sill, looking blankly at his crying daughter, then at the other two patients in the ward and their family members who were accompanying him on the bed, and finally at the two nurses who came in. The helplessness in his eyes made people feel
He was so worried that he didn't know what to say.
"Yang Huihui, are you okay? As I told you two days ago, don't get excited. Your situation can be cured by relaxing and cooperating with treatment." The fat nurse advised her in a soft voice.
.
It would have been better if she didn't persuade her, but with this advice, the girl on the hospital bed couldn't hold on any longer and started crying loudly.
Another nurse glanced at the ward and suddenly said: "We have to keep quiet in the ward. There are too many people. Let's go out first and let the patients be quiet."
This must be matched.
Xia Weicheng was the first to stand up. He said to his eldest brother Xia Weiguo: "Brother, please look at our father first. I'll take them both out to get some fresh air."
One of the two bedside companions on the middle bed also stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going out too."
After Xia Weicheng came out, he walked directly to the east end in silence. After reaching the end, on the left hand side was the door to the stairway. He opened the door directly and went to the stairwell, took out a cigarette, lit one with a lighter, and held it with both hands.
He took a deep breath.
Brothers Xia Zekai and Xia Zejiang followed him. Seeing him smoking, Xia Zekai frowned slightly and said, "Dad, this cigarette is not good for the body. If you can't help it, don't smoke it."
"I know, it's just that I feel unhappy." Xia Weicheng took another hard puff, and the cigarette butt lit up with an orange-red flame in the dim corridor, and the ash fell to the ground.
He said: "Zekai, let me tell you the truth, if you hadn't kept the 200,000 at home, I really don't know how I could have treated your grandfather."
When Xia Zejiang heard what his father said, he realized that his eldest brother had already given his father 200,000 yuan. After hearing his brother say that he spent 10 million yuan to buy land, he was no longer interested in "this little money", but he had to admit it.
, compared with his brother, he is really useless now.
Xia Zekai waved his hand and said: "Dad, don't think about this. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. It would be best if my grandpa could be cured. If it really can't be cured, we'll do our best."
Hearing what his son said, Xia Weicheng shook his head: "Doctor Lian said that your grandfather has high blood pressure and thick blood lipids. In addition, he is old and his body organs are aging. Surgery cannot be performed. Let's check again after the radiotherapy.
Depending on the situation, we will look at the effect of chemotherapy later.”
When he said this, he was afraid that his son wouldn't understand, so he threw the unfinished cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, twisted it, and gestured with his neck and chest with his hands, saying: "Doctor Lian gave me this
I said, if your grandpa needs surgery for this disease, he will have to cut off the broken esophagus in the middle, stretch the stomach and connect it directly to the non-infected area..."
Xia Zekai understood. To be honest, it was torture for his grandfather.
"Let's go ahead and do radiotherapy first to see the effect. I'll also ask more about it. Maybe there are better treatment methods in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai." Xia Zekai countered his father.
The three of them chatted in the corridor for nearly an hour. When they saw that it was almost noon, Xia Zekai said, "Dad, is there a food vendor somewhere? I'll buy some food and come back."
"There are them in the restaurant below, and also on the roadside outside." As soon as Xia Weicheng finished speaking, Xia Zekai called his brother downstairs to buy food.
Xia Weicheng waited for the two of them to go down and then returned to the ward.
The ward was quiet now. The girl leaning against the wall had fallen asleep, and her father was holding his chin and wondering what he was thinking.
Xia Weiguo glanced around and didn't see the two nephews. He asked: "Acropolis, where are Zekai and the others? Are they gone?"
"No, I went to buy some food. I'll be back in a while." Xia Weicheng said.
It took Xia Zekai and his two brothers a full twenty minutes to get back, mainly because they were wasting time waiting to make three egg custards for his grandfather.
The rest are relatively common home-cooked dishes, steamed buns, and vegetables, which are served in ordinary disposable plastic boxes, which is simple and convenient.
After eating, just throw the plastic box away, which saves trouble.
After all, old man Xia Shande was getting older, so he started to feel sleepy after slowly eating the egg custard, but with his two grandsons chatting with him here, he still managed to stay awake.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the old man couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep after saying a few words.
When Xia Zekai saw this, he told his father and uncle: "Dad, if there is nothing else, I will go back to Qicheng first. I have some work to do there these days."
Before Xia Weicheng could say anything, his uncle Xia Weiguo said: "Zekai, please go back. Your father and I are watching over you in the hospital. It's okay. Don't just run here again and again. If something happens, we'll go back."
Call some of your brothers."
"Hey!" Xia Zekai responded and said to his father: "Dad, if the money is not enough, please call me again and I will transfer it to you."
Xia Weicheng nodded and said, "Don't worry about money. I've only spent more than 30,000 yuan now, and the rest is enough for chemotherapy."
When he said this, the father of the girl following him against the wall heard it. He paid special attention to it, thinking that it would be good to have money.
"Okay then, I'll come over and have a look after I finish my work in a few days." Xia Zekai turned around and asked his brother: "Zejiang, I'm going back now, can you leave?"
"Brother, you go first. I'll stay for a while. When it gets dark, I'll take the bus back to school. It's not far anyway."
"Well! I'll ask Lao Sun to settle the salary for you later, and I'll give you another 10,000 yuan to pay for tuition. If you don't have enough left over, let me know." Xia Zekai's tone contained no room for objection.
Xia Zejiang wanted to refuse, but he couldn't. His brother wouldn't listen to him at all.
After Xia Weicheng heard this, he also said: "Boss, I have the money for your brother's schooling, so I can just give it to him."
"Dad, forget it. Keep the money for my grandfather's medical treatment. Zejiang has been working at my place for the past two months and has made a lot of money. In the future, he can just let him work part-time to earn his own money." Xia Zekai said naturally.
But Xia Zejiang's heart twitched, and he thought: "Isn't this my brother?"
After giving instructions for a while, Xia Zekai left.
His father wanted to go down to see him off, but was stopped by Xia Zekai. There was no need for father and son to do this.
The ward became quiet again. Xia Weiguo looked at his brothers and couldn't help but sigh: "Weicheng, Zekai is really getting along now."
Xia Weicheng shook his head and said: "Brother, I don't know what kind of mess he is doing now. This kid keeps everything to himself and never tells us. I have never asked him."
"This shows that Zekai is sensible." Xia Weiguo commented.
Xia Zejiang listened without saying a word. His brother really put the greatest pressure on himself. I am afraid that except for himself and his sister-in-law, no one else in the family knew.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the hospital will make unified arrangements to notify those hospital beds that do not have enough hospitalization fees to pay.
It was the fat nurse who came here in the morning. She read her name: "Xia Shande's family has to pay. They owe more than three hundred..."
"Hey, I'll hand it over right away." Xia Weicheng agreed.
The patient in the middle bed is named Wang Zhihao, and he also has to pay.
When he heard that he still owed the hospital more than 800 yuan, he couldn't help but sigh: "The daily expenses are too high."
"Dad, please stop saying a few words." A young man taking care of him said a few words to him, then turned to the nurse and said: "Nurse, I will pay the money right away. Do you think it is appropriate to pay 3,000 first?"
"At least pay 2,000 first. I have to go get tomorrow's medicine later. It will be used tomorrow." The fat nurse explained.
Then he walked to the innermost hospital bed. The middle-aged man who was accompanying the bed saw her coming, and his pupils shrank. Finally, he heard the nurse say: "Yang Huihui's family, you already owe more than 3,000 yuan, and I can't give us any more."
The leader has applied, please try to find a way to submit some money first. If you don’t go for radiotherapy, the effect of the early treatment will be gone.”
"Nurse, I want to think of a way. You can talk to the leader and give me two more days of grace. Please treat the child first. I beg you!" The middle-aged man was indescribably humble at this time.
"This..." The fat nurse looked embarrassed. She thought about it for a long time before saying: "Yang Huihui's family, to be honest, I want to help you, but I am just an ordinary nurse. I really don't have much."
If you are capable, you should try your best to think of a way, call home first to borrow it, and then return it later!"
The middle-aged nurse looked at his daughter lying on the hospital bed with helpless eyes and said, "But I really have no choice now!"
