Late stage liver cancer was an incurable disease even in the later generations where medical technology was developed, let alone in the 1960s where medical technology was underdeveloped.
Right now, all the treatment could only delay the patient's condition so that the other party could stall for a period of time.
After sending the nurse away, Zhou Feng advised the woman,
"Sis, there's actually no possibility of curing late-stage liver cancer. You'd better be mentally prepared. My suggestion is that we should try our best to satisfy the patient's wishes while the patient still has some time.”
Actually, Zhou Feng did not want to be a bad person. What he said today was actually a woman giving up on her husband.
This was a difficult decision for anyone. However, from the woman's clothes, it was obvious that her family background was not very good. If she continued to receive treatment in the hospital, it would only be a waste of money.
Not only would this not save lives, but it would also drag down families that were not rich to begin with.
In this day and age, the most important thing for a person was to survive, not to waste the limited savings of a family on a hopeless person.
Although these words were cruel, it was the best choice at the moment.
After listening to Zhou Feng's persuasion, the woman fell to the ground weakly. Zhou Feng quickly went forward to help the woman up and let her sit on the chair.
The woman began to cry silently. However, after crying for a while, she stopped crying.
"Thank you, comrade. Thank you so much for today.”
"It's okay. I just happened to meet you. You have to be strong and take care of your body. You can't collapse from exhaustion now.”
Zhou Feng was very impressed by this strong woman. It was rare for a woman to be able to calm down so quickly when she knew that her husband was about to die.
"Thank you for your concern. I'll be careful. I can't collapse now. By the way, I still don't know your name. My name is Liang Ladie.”
"Zhou Feng."
Although he felt that the name Liang Ladi sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before, he could not recall it for a moment, so Zhou Feng stopped thinking about it.
"I work in the rolling mill. If you need any help, just let me know. Everyone has their own difficulties. It's not embarrassing to ask for help.”
Zhou Feng knew that Liang Ladie was a strong woman. He was afraid that she cared too much about her face and was unwilling to ask for help, so he tried to persuade her.
As for whether Liang Lade would accept it or not, that was her business.
"Thank you, Comrade Zhou Feng. If I need help, I'll look for you.”
Liang Ladi did not reject Zhou Feng's good intentions. They were not related, and this was the first time they met.
Zhou Feng was a good person to be able to say such words. Facing such a person's kindness, Liang Ladie still chose to accept it.
"Well, that's good. I still have something to do at the factory, so I'll go back first. Here's a hundred yuan. Take it first.
There's no rush to return the money. Return it to me when you have it. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Your husband's illness definitely requires nutrition now. Take this money first to save him.”
Zhou Feng took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liang Ladi.
"Thank you. I'll pay you back.”
Liang Ladi did not reject Zhou Feng's kindness and took the 100 yuan. Firstly, she really needed the money. Secondly, she really couldn't reject the kindness of a stranger like Zhou Feng.
"Alright, I'll leave first. I'll come and see you tomorrow.”
Seeing that Liang Ladie had accepted the money, Zhou Feng knew that this woman must have a strong mind. She knew how to accept help from strangers. This was a very rare thing.
After saying goodbye to Liang Ladie, Zhou Feng drove back to the rolling mill. He thought that Liang Ladie's matter had delayed him, so he came back even later this time. When he returned to the mill, it was almost dawn.
"Division Chief Li, did something happen on the way? Why are you so late today?”
After Zhou Feng parked the car, Director Li hurriedly ran to the front of the car and asked.
"It's fine. Everything is going well.”
"Alright, let's unload the goods first. You guys hurry up and don't delay.”
Director Li called for a few workers to quickly unload the truck. After the goods were unloaded, Director Li walked to Zhou Feng and said,
"This time, it's 1000 catties of pork and 100 catties of cooking oil. The numbers match. However, Division Chief Li, look at the fruits that we mentioned last time. When will there be news about them?”
Director Li asked carefully. It was not that Director Li was blind, but it was indeed inappropriate to ask about the fruit now.
However, he really had no choice. There were only three days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival. If he did not get the fruits back as soon as possible, he would not be able to make it in time.
"Don't worry. Time is of the essence. I'll settle the fruit tomorrow. However, the price might be a little high.”
This time, Zhou Feng had put in all his effort into the pork and cooking oil. He did not get any benefits at all.
However, this fruit was different. This thing was a luxury item. Zhou Feng definitely wanted to get some benefits from it.
"Don't worry about that. Secretary Liu has already said that as long as we can get the thing, money is not a problem.”
Director Li guaranteed that Secretary Liu had already given his instructions for this matter. No matter how much Zhou Feng offered, as long as he could get the thing, the factory would definitely support him.
In fact, in the beginning, the leaders of the factory only wanted to change the direction of relief for the retired workers through welfare.
However, when it was confirmed that Zhou Feng could get fruits, things changed. Fruits were rare in this era.
Naturally, this could not be sent directly to the workers. Otherwise, the higher-ups would definitely pursue the matter. However, if these fruits were given to the higher-ups for more benefits, they would come in handy.
Therefore, the leaders of the factory unanimously decided that no matter how much it cost, they had to get the fruit.
"That's good. I'll get the fruits then. We'll talk about the exact price later.”
After a tiring day, Zhou Feng wanted to go back and rest early. After bidding farewell to Director Li, he returned to the courtyard house to rest.
Before entering the house, Zhou Feng deliberately knocked on the second vendor's door. However, there was no one in the house. He did not know where the second vendor had run off to.
Just as Zhou Feng was about to pack up and go to bed, a series of hurried knocks came from the door.
Zhou Feng opened the door and saw a little girl standing outside.
"Brother Yi, I'm Yu Shui.”
"Rainwater? She hadn't seen him for such a long time, and she didn't expect him to grow up into a big girl.”
The moment he saw He Yushui, Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment. A memory slowly surfaced.
In Zhou Feng's memory, He Yushui was just a little bug with a runny nose. She followed him around all day.
Looking at her now, He Yushui was already a slender and elegant lady.
