At around 7 pm, Su Lin carefully returned to the entrance of his small courtyard with a worn-out fertilizer bag.
"200,000, this is 200,000! With this 200,000 yuan, his parents would no longer have to worry about money. However, I have to think about how to explain the source of this 200,000 yuan to my parents.”
He had never received so much cash before. Su Lin felt like he was in a dream. His parents 'salary was a few thousand yuan a month, which was at most a few tens of thousands a year. This 200,000 yuan was equivalent to four to five years of savings for his family.
It is said that wine and meat stink at the vermilion gate, and there are frozen bones on the road. Triad groups like the Longhu Gang made huge profits by selling drugs. Normal workers like Su Lin's parents could only earn two to three thousand yuan a month.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Su Lin shouted excitedly as soon as he pushed open the door. He wanted to let his parents see this 200,000 yuan and know that their son, Su Lin, was not a coward and could still earn money.
However, Su Lin called his parents several times in the living room, but he didn't hear any response from them.
"Dad and Mom aren't home? Where did he go?"
Su Lin's parents were both laid-off and staying at home. Even if they had days to work, they should have gone home by now. But what was going on today? Su Lin's parents were not home.
"What happened? Did something happen?"
Su Lin had a bad feeling, so he quickly picked up the phone at home and called his father, Su Guorong.
Beep beep beep…
After waiting for a while, the call finally connected.
"Dad, it's Xiao Lin. Why aren't you and Mom home when I'm home?”
Su Lin asked impatiently as soon as the call connected.
"Xiao Lin! Your mother and I are at the hospital in the city. Go out and eat dinner by yourself! His parents might be home very late.”
Father Su Guorong's voice was low. When Su Lin heard that they were in the hospital, his heart tightened. He hurriedly asked,"Dad, why did you go to the hospital? Who is sick?"
"Yes! It's your Sister Zhu's mother, your Auntie Liang. I don't know what happened today. She had a heart attack and is currently being treated in the emergency room of the hospital. Your mother and I are now outside the operating room with your sister Zhu. Dad won't talk to you anymore. The hospital doesn't allow you to make calls. Be careful at home alone.”
After giving his instructions, Su Guorong hung up the phone, but Su Lin couldn't calm down.
"Aunt Liang had a heart attack? Now that she was in the hospital for emergency treatment, wouldn't Sister Zhu be worried to death?”
Ever since Su Lin could remember, Ye Xingzhu's family had only had her and her son to rely on each other. Sister Zhu, who was born into a single-parent family, was stronger than other girls of her age, but her mother, Liang Guizhu, was her only support and family. Su Lin didn't know if Ye Xingzhu would be able to handle it if something really happened to Liang Guizhu.
"No! I'm going to the city hospital. Sister Zhu needs me at this time.”
Su Lin made a prompt decision. He left the bag of money and hid it in his bedroom. Then, he rushed out of the door and took a taxi to Jian An City Hospital.
In the emergency room of Jian An City Hospital, the emergency operation for Mrs. Ye, Liang Guizhu, was in full swing. Outside the operating room, Ye Xingzhu was restless. Her forehead was covered in dark clouds, and tears were swirling in her eyes. Fortunately, her parents were by her side, comforting her from time to time.
"What's wrong? Was it Little Lin who called just now?"
As soon as Su Guorong returned from the phone call, Liu Aizhen immediately asked,"Is Xiao Lin home?" Did you tell him to go out to eat by himself tonight and not wait for us?”
"Yes! I did."
Nodding, Su Guorong looked at Ye Xingzhu and comforted her," Xingzhu, don't worry. Your mother is a lucky person. She will definitely be fine. Uncle and Auntie will be here with you tonight. Don't be afraid. If anything happens, Uncle and Auntie will be here.”
"Thank you, Uncle Su. I'm fine. Why don't you guys go back first? Xiao Lin was alone at home. Besides, I know all the doctors in the hospital. It's fine. I'll call you if there's anything."
Ye Xingzhu was originally a nurse at the municipal hospital, so she was very familiar with the hospitalization procedures. However, she didn't voice the worry and helplessness in her heart. Who could understand the importance of her mother in her life? Without her mother, she would have no one to rely on in this world.
"It's nothing serious. Xiao Lin was no longer a child. It was fine to stay at home alone. Besides, your Auntie Liu and I are also laid off now. We don't have to work tomorrow. We'll accompany you at the hospital today!”
Su Guorong sighed and said. It had not been easy for the mother and daughter of the Ye family for so many years. Now that they had suffered such misfortune, how could the Su family stand by and watch?
"Then thank you, Uncle Su and Auntie Liu. All these years, the two of us have been indebted to your help.”
Although Ye Xingzhu did not say much, her heart was as clear as a mirror. Ever since she was young, the Su family had protected her family. Her parents treated her like their own daughter and would give her anything delicious. It was also because of this that Ye Xingzhu and Su Lin's relationship was so good.
The waiting time was always exceptionally long. Ye Xingzhu was very flustered now, but she still pretended to be calm. She stared at the red light in the operating theater anxiously.
Ding!
The door to the operating theater opened, and the chief surgeon, Pang Dahua, who was wearing a surgical gown, pushed the door open and walked out. Ye Xingzhu hurriedly stepped forward and asked,"Doctor Pang, how is my mother?”
"Nurse Ye, your mother suffered from heart failure due to a sudden heart attack. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time. After emergency treatment, he was out of danger. However, your mother's heart is in extreme failure now. If she is discharged from the hospital like this, it may cause problems again at any time. If such a problem occurred again, there might be…no way to save the situation.”
Hearing Pang Dehua's words, Ye Xingzhu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that her mother was safe and sound. However, when she heard the second half of the sentence, her heart tightened again. She hurriedly asked him,"Doctor Pang, what should we do now? Should he install a heart stent or bypass?”
Ye Xingzhu was a nurse herself. After so many years of hearing about Muran, she knew a little about how to deal with various symptoms.
"Yes! My suggestion is to perform a bypass. If you use a stent, it's only suitable for patients with milder conditions. Your mother's condition is better off with a bypass. That way, even if she does some more intense exercise, there won't be any problems. As long as he paid attention to his daily life, there was basically no risk of relapse. However, the cost of this surgery was relatively expensive. Of course, if there was really no other way, he could only use a stent. However, this way, even the surgery itself would be quite risky. After the stent was fixed, there was a high possibility of a relapse.”
Pang Dehua explained his mother's condition in detail. As Ye Xingzhu listened, she frowned and asked with a heavy heart,"How much will it cost if we do the bypass surgery?”
His mother, Liang Guizhu, had had a hard time raising him for so many years, and she had suffered a lot because of it. Of course, Ye Xingzhu wanted to give her mother the best. This heart attack had scared her half to death. She did not want to experience it again. Therefore, Ye Xingzhu decided that no matter what, she had to perform bypass surgery for her mother.
"A conservative estimate is that it will cost at least eighty to ninety thousand yuan. Adding on some post-surgical care and medication, it will cost more than a hundred thousand yuan! If it was a stent surgery, it would be slightly cheaper, but it would still cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.”
Even though Ye Xingzhu was already mentally prepared, she was still shocked by Pang De Hua's number. One had to know that her family's savings were only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. This was because Ye Xingzhu had also come out to work as a nurse in the hospital in the past two years. She could only save up to 10,000 yuan a year.
What did 100,000 yuan mean? Even if Ye Xingzhu did not eat or drink, she would still need to save up for five to six years before she could save up 100,000 yuan with her monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan.
"100,000 yuan! You want so much?"
When Mr. and Mrs. Su heard the surgery fee, they were also shocked. It was really too much. Especially for Ye Xingzhu and her daughter, 100,000 yuan was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
"Doctor Pang, I'll think about it…If it doesn't work, I'll perform a stent surgery.”
"Yes! Nurse Ye, you'd better make a decision early. It's best if you do it tonight. That way, you won't have to undergo a second surgery, and it can also save you a lot of surgery fees.”
After all, Ye Xingzhu was a nurse at the city hospital, so Pang Dehua kindly reminded her.
"Xingzhu, this surgery is too expensive. Do you have enough money at home? If it's not enough, I don't have much on my side. I can still take out 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.”
Su Guorong was a straightforward person. As someone who had been in the army, he would help her when she was in trouble. Moreover, he had watched Ye Xingzhu grow up!
However, Mother Su, Liu Aizhen, had more considerations. It was not that she did not want to help Ye Xingzhu, but that the Su family was not well-off. Hearing Guorong's generous words, she pulled him aside and pinched him as she complained in a low voice,"Old Su, are you crazy? Both of us are now laid-off and unemployed at home. The savings in our family's passbook are only about 50,000 yuan. If you lend it all to Xingzhu, she won't be able to return it immediately. What if Xiao Lin goes to university?”
"Isn't this a matter of life and death?”
Su Guorong couldn't refute, and Ye Xingzhu also noticed something amiss. She quickly waved at her parents and said," Uncle Su, Auntie Liu, I don't need your money. It's not easy for you guys either. Xiao Lin is going to university soon and is in a hurry to spend money. I'll think of a way to pay for my mother's surgery myself.”
As she spoke, Ye Xingzhu bit her lower lip, as if she had made an important decision.
"This…Xingzhu, it's not that Auntie Liu doesn't want to help you. Look at our family. Your Uncle Su and I have both been laid off and are staying at home. However, Auntie Liu will definitely help you in other aspects.”
Liu Aizhen was also a little embarrassed. She and Liang Guizhu were like sisters. At this moment, she still felt bad.
"I'm fine. Uncle Su, Auntie Liu, it's so late. My mother is out of danger for the time being. I'm fine. Why don't you go back first?”
"Alright! Xingzhu, you should be careful. I'll go back with your Auntie Liu first. If there's anything, call me at any time."
Su Guorong knew that he and his wife couldn't help much by staying here. Moreover, Ye Xingzhu was a nurse at the city hospital, so she knew what kind of care she needed. Therefore, after exchanging a few more words with Ye Xingzhu, Mr. and Mrs. Su left the hospital and hailed a taxi home.
After Mr. and Mrs. Su left, Ye Xingzhu felt a little guilty and went to the hospital entrance. After confirming that they had really left, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"Hey! Xingzhu, you're finally willing to call me. Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to marry me?"
The call went through after a beep, and an excited voice came from the other end. If Su Lin heard this voice, he would definitely recognize it. This voice belonged to Sui Hongwei, who had been pestering Ye Xingzhu at the entrance of the courtyard that day.
"100,000 yuan. Sui Hongwei, my mother is sick and hospitalized. It's a heart attack. If you can give me 100,000 yuan, I'll agree to marry you.”
After saying this, Ye Xingzhu closed her eyes, and two streams of tears flowed down her face.
