Since Yu Lang was diagnosed with leukemia, he had to be treated according to leukemia. The doctor clearly told her that the only way to cure leukemia was to do a bone marrow transplant. However, this required a suitable bone marrow and a considerable amount of medical expenses. The surgery alone cost 400,000 yuan. Adding on other expenses, it would cost at least 500,000 yuan. Five hundred thousand yuan! This was an astronomical figure for an ordinary family in the countryside. However, in order to save their son's life, they would not hesitate to spend more money. Even if they had to sell everything in the house, the whole family would sleep in the village. As long as they could cure Yu Lang's illness, it was worth it. Their whole family was willing. At that time, the couple asked the doctor to draw their blood for bone marrow matching.
The results came out very quickly. The heavens were too heartless. The husband and wife's bone marrow matching was unsuccessful. The couple couldn't accept it. They pulled the doctor back and said,"That's impossible. You must be mistaken. We're the child's biological parents. There's nothing wrong with that.”The doctor explained," You've misunderstood. Being close by blood only means that the chances of a successful match are higher. It doesn't guarantee absolute success.”They were disappointed again.
What should he do next? They had never changed their minds. As long as there was a one percent or one thousandth chance, they would do their best! The doctor said,"If you're sure about the bone marrow transplant, register and queue up now. When there's a suitable bone marrow, I'll inform you to do the transplant." The only treatment he could do now was to give the sick child a blood transfusion and then perform chemotherapy. Da Sheng and Yu Lang had the same blood type, so he gave Yu Lang 1000cc of blood in two separate transfusions. After the blood transfusion, Yu Lang's spirit was indeed much better, and his appetite was also better. It was time for chemotherapy, but the money they brought was almost used up, so they had to go home to get money. Dr. Hu, who was in charge of treating Yu Lang, said that for chemotherapy, you can do it in the county hospital. You don't have to come to the provincial hospital. It's more expensive and inconvenient. As for when the bone marrow transplant will be performed, you have already registered it. Once we have a suitable bone marrow match, we will inform you in time. Go back and prepare the surgery fee. You need at least 400,000 yuan for the surgery. The rest of the fees did not need to be paid in one go. They could be raised while they were being treated. They immediately agreed. Hence, she asked for Dr. Hu's phone number and left their home address and contact number. Then, she brought Yu Lang back to the county hospital for chemotherapy.
When the whole family heard that Yu Lang was still diagnosed with leukemia in the provincial hospital, they were all extremely sad and deeply sympathetic. Especially his grandparents, who hugged Yu Lang and cried to the heavens and the earth, sobbing. He even asked the whole family to go to the county hospital for bone marrow test comparison, but unfortunately, none of them were a match. The Wang family's neighbors and Yu Lang's friends and classmates were surprised when they heard that Yu Lang was able to sing and dance, was enthusiastic and lively, and was happy every day. They suddenly heard that Yu Lang had leukemia and that this disease was very difficult to cure. They all came to visit Yu Lang and comfort their families. With tears in her eyes, Dasheng and Xiaomei truthfully introduced Yu Lang's illness and the general and fundamental methods of treatment to them. Everyone heard this and sighed with regret.
After a series of sorrowful complaints and seeing off their relatives and friends, the whole family calmed down and gathered together to seriously discuss how to raise the 400,000 yuan surgery fee for Yulang's bone marrow transplant. Everyone had never encountered such a serious illness and such expensive medical fees. They looked at each other and felt that it was difficult to raise money. However, in the face of their own flesh and blood and such a lively and lovely child, everyone expressed that no matter how great the difficulties and obstacles were, they must raise the 400,000 yuan surgery fee and perform the surgery on Yulang in time to save a fresh little life. After much discussion, the whole family decided to sell the valuable things in the house first, then go to the families of relatives and friends to borrow money. Even if they had to run their legs, grind their mouths, sell everything, and kowtow, they had to raise the 400,000 yuan surgery fee first, so as not to delay the bone marrow transplant surgery for Yu Lang.
The next day, Dasheng and Xiaomei entrusted the matter of raising the operation fees to their parents and younger siblings. Then, they went to the bank together and took out all the remaining 10,000 yuan in cash. When they returned home, they brought Yulang's textbooks and a change of clothes. Together, they escorted Yulang to the county people's hospital for chemotherapy. The whole family was sent to the village entrance and repeatedly told him to treat the disease in peace.
The day before he left, Xiao Mei took Yu Lang to the Wangjia Village Primary School where he studied to ask for leave from the teacher and introduced Yu Lang's illness and treatment plan. When the teachers and students heard that Wang Yulang had leukemia, they were very surprised and lamented, What a good student! He was smart, handsome, studious, motivated, positive, and optimistic. Not only did he have good grades, but he was also good at singing and dancing. The school even planned to arrange a performance for him on Children's Day. However, people were born with all kinds of diseases after eating five grains. No matter who it was, it was difficult to refuse. The heavens did not love people. Everyone lamented and racked their brains. They agreed to work together, donate money, and gather the strength of the entire school to fight against the disease together with the Wang family. After sending Yu Lang and his parents away, the form teacher immediately reported Yu Lang's illness to the principal. The school made a decision and issued a call to all the teachers and students in the school to show their love and help Wang Yulang. The school's call for action quickly turned into a positive action by the students. Everyone donated their pocket money and even the New Year's money they earned, either five or ten yuan, to Yulang. Together with the teachers 'donations, the school quickly raised more than 8,000 yuan.
Dasheng and Xiaomei took Yu Lang to the county hospital for treatment. Only Yu Lang's grandfather, grandmother, uncle Dazeng, and aunt Dating were left at home. They began to discuss the specific methods of raising funds and made a reasonable division of labor. Grandpa and Grandma were old and had high prestige. They were responsible for borrowing money from relatives and friends. Dazeng and Dating were young and strong. They were responsible for selling the family property. After sighing, Grandpa and Grandma discussed going out to borrow money. Big Da and Big Ting gathered together to discuss how to sell the valuable things in the house.
He couldn't sell the house for the time being because the whole family had to live there. In addition, Yulang was only undergoing chemotherapy now. He had not found a suitable bone marrow match yet, so it was not the critical time for surgery. This was a decision made by the whole family. What else was valuable in the house? There were only a few household appliances and furniture. Looking at the appliances, they were a little reluctant. The television was something that the entire family would watch every day after work. They would watch the news, variety shows, movies, and television dramas every day. There was also technological knowledge, health information, and market information. They were all must-read. This was not only necessary for entertainment, but also for production, life orientation, and improvement of scientific, technological, and cultural knowledge. Da Ting couldn't bear to part with the washing machine. Because she had sold it, she had to wash the clothes with her hands. It was a tough job for her slender hands. That was what she hated the most. Then he would sell the refrigerator first. Sigh, they were also a little reluctant. They had to use it every day to keep food fresh, and they had only bought it last year. However, compared to the life of his nephew Yu Lang, these were insignificant and not worth cherishing. In order to save their nephew's life, they reluctantly gave up what they loved and decided to sell them all.
The two of them found a tricycle, carefully moved the refrigerator onto it, tied it up with a rope, and pulled it all the way to the second-hand home appliances market. They were disappointed when they asked for the price. Even though they had only bought it last year and it was 90% new, it was still at least 40% off. In less than a year, he had lost more than 1,000 yuan. What a pity! They wouldn't sell to the acquirer. Who should he sell it to? The siblings discussed for a while and decided to try selling it to the kind-hearted people in society first. If no one bought it, they would reluctantly sell it to the acquirer.
Da Da and Da Ting pulled the refrigerator to the People's Square and saw many people doing activities. Some were singing, some were dancing, and some were doing all kinds of physical exercises. Everyone saw them pulling a refrigerator with a handcart in the square. They didn't know what they were doing. They thought that they were here to watch everyone's activities or that they were tired from pulling the cart and stopped to rest. No one came to ask about it. Da Ting was anxious. She said to Da Zeng," Second Brother, shout a few times. Otherwise, people won't know that we're here to sell fridges."”"I'm selling a refrigerator!" he shouted. Selling fridges! Everyone, come and buy a refrigerator!" Sure enough, it was effective. A few people stopped their activities and walked over to look at the refrigerator. They casually looked around and asked for the price. They shook their heads and went back to their original activities.
"You can't just shout like this. The problem can't be explained clearly," Da Zeng said to his sister. I'll go find some ink and write a sales advertisement. I'll explain the reason clearly and attract caring people.”Dazeng found pen, ink, and paper. After some deliberation, the siblings wrote an urgent advertisement that read "Raising Money to Save Life" and pasted it on the refrigerator. The advertisement said," We are from the Wang Family Village in the east of the city. My nephew, Wang Yulang, has unfortunately contracted leukemia. He urgently needs to raise 500,000 yuan for a bone marrow transplant. Saving a life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda. I beg the people of society to lend a helping hand and participate in the charity purchase. I am extremely grateful!”He also posted the receipt of the refrigerator next to the advertisement to prove that the refrigerator was bought last year. Desire for a caring person to give a better price after understanding the situation; At least it wouldn't be as much as the buyer's discount.
After the advertisement was posted, it immediately attracted many pedestrians and people who participated in the event to watch and ask about the situation. However, most of them were unable to help. They only listened and looked at it, then walked away, which disappointed them. At noon, a caring old man finally arrived. After asking about Yu Lang's condition, he said,"I can understand your feelings and actions the most, because my family has also encountered such a thing. More than ten years ago, my son suffered from leukemia. Because he didn't have enough money for the surgery and couldn't get a bone marrow transplant in time, my son passed away prematurely, which made my whole family regret it to this day. Even though my family is not rich now, I have to contribute to your family's situation today. I'll buy this refrigerator at full price.”The siblings were very touched." We thank you on behalf of our nephew first. After our nephew recovers from the surgery, we will definitely bring him to visit and thank you!"”He pulled the refrigerator and sent it to the old man's house.
Yu Lang's grandparents also borrowed money smoothly. Within a day, they visited three relatives and repeatedly told them about Yu Lang's illness and the high cost of treatment. The relatives were very sympathetic and extended a helping hand. The three families borrowed a total of more than 10,000 yuan, which touched the two old people.
In the evening, the four of them went to the county hospital to visit Yulang. They asked about the chemotherapy and told him about the fund-raising process. Dasheng and Xiaomei were also very touched when they heard this. They said,"There are still many good people nowadays! Now that society was rich and people had money, Yu Lang had caught up with the good times and had hope of treating diseases. He hoped that he could raise 500,000 yuan for the surgery as soon as possible so that he could perform the surgery and save the child's life.”
Xiao Mei excitedly held Yu Lang's hand and said,"After we raise the surgery fee, we can perform the surgery. After the surgery, Yu Lang's illness will be completely cured, and he will be able to go to school with the children in the village like before.”
Yu Lang had been on a drip for a day after chemotherapy. He looked very tired at this time. He closed his eyes slightly and quietly leaned against the back of the bed to rest. His face was pale and devoid of blood. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his nose rose and fell as he occasionally breathed heavily. After hearing his mother's words, he struggled to sit up from the back of the bed. His haggard face revealed some joy as he said softly,"I'm happy." After a pause, she said,"Mom, when can I go back to school?"”Xiao Mei hugged her son in her arms and kissed his cheek."You miss your classmates?" Yu Lang nodded. "Very soon," she said. When Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt have raised enough money for the surgery, we can go back to school.”Yu Lang nodded again, his heart full of hope. Perhaps because he was too excited, his movements were a little fierce, and thin beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead. Xiao Mei quickly took a towel to wipe his sweat and then slowly helped him lie down to rest.
A week later, Yu Lang's form teacher and two student representatives came to Yu Lang's ward with a donation of 10,000 yuan and a letter of consolation from the entire school to visit Yu Lang. The two students stood side by side in front of Yulang's bed. On behalf of all the teachers and students, they recited the consolation letter to Yulang in unison, encouraging him to overcome difficulties, bravely overcome the illness, recover soon, and return to school to study. The whole family was very touched and thanked him repeatedly. Tears flowed out of Yu Lang's eyes. He held the teacher's and classmate's hands and said,"I'll definitely treat my illness well and strive to return to school as soon as possible.”
However, the rest of their family's fund-raising was not so smooth. Little Uncle and Little Aunt reluctantly sold televisions, washing machines, sofas, large wardrobes, and other things worth money in the house. They also put up urgent sales advertisements of "Raising Money to Save Life". For a few days, even though they repeatedly introduced Yulang's illness, explained the huge cost of treatment, and begged with tears and even begged for help, no one bought it. On the fifth day, they really had no choice but to harden their hearts and sell it to the buyer at half price. In the past half a month, Grandpa and Grandma had gone to almost all relatives and friends near and far, but the money they borrowed was less than 20,000 yuan. Some relatives and friends had encountered difficulties and refused to lend, or only lent 3,500 yuan. They were just being shameless. A month had passed. The money from selling things, borrowing money, and donations from the teachers and students of the school added up to only 50,000 yuan. It was only one-tenth of the surgery fee. It would be even more difficult to raise funds.
