Xiao Mei did not return to the hospital immediately after she hung up the call with Yu Ying. She was heartbroken and disappointed. She regretted agreeing to Yuying's request. She felt that she was too despicable and shameless. She had let down Dasheng, her parents, and her family. On second thought, he felt that it was worth it. If not, he would not be able to save his son, help his students and his family solve their difficulties, and get out of this desperate situation. She strolled back and forth by the stream and under the shade of a tree, thinking. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know if she could or couldn't. It wasn't until the red sun set in the west and the birds returned to the forest that she finally made up her mind. After that, she repeatedly thought about how she should tell Dasheng about this when she returned to the hospital. Although she had thought of a preliminary plan that night, after talking to Yuying, she felt that there were still many loopholes that would arouse the students 'suspicion. She had to make further adjustments to make sure that the students would be convinced without any mistakes.
To leave her husband Dasheng, who loved her deeply and trusted her deeply, her son Yulang, who was seriously ill and attached to her, and her sad and anxious family, to go to Guangzhou alone and do those shameful and humiliating things. Moreover, she would be gone for more than a year. How unwilling, unbearable, and reluctant she was. However, she couldn't think of any other way. On one side was her face, and on the other side was her son's life. After thinking about it again and again, she finally made a decision. In order to save her son's life, she was determined to sacrifice herself. The matter was already set in stone. Even though she was bleeding and crying, she would not change. However, she was not sure how to make things sound reasonable and flawless so that Dasheng and his family would not suspect her and let her go without worry. If she did not explain things strictly enough and let Dasheng find loopholes, arouse suspicion, and stop her from going, her plan would all fall through. Her painstaking efforts would be in vain, and her son's life would be hopeless! He was a piece of meat that had fallen from his mother's body! She thought about it over and over again, carefully designed it, and tried her best to make the lie round so that Dasheng and her family would not suspect her, and she could not find any loopholes. Even though she hadn't eaten or drunk for most of the day, she didn't feel thirsty. Seeing that it was almost dark, she left the stream and walked back to the hospital.
Xiao Mei walked into the hospital door and subconsciously wiped her eyes. She tidied her hair and calmed herself down. Then, she walked into the ward as usual. She saw that Yu Lang had finished the drip and Da Sheng was taking care of him. Everyone in the ward had gone out for a walk, so the room was quiet.
Seeing that Xiao Mei had returned so late, Da Sheng thought that there was hope in borrowing money. He asked,"He's been gone for an entire day. Looks like there's some hope of borrowing money?”
Xiao Mei shook her head." Their family doesn't have money. The crops haven't been harvested yet. The pigs they raise will only be released at the end of the year."”
"Since you can't borrow money, why didn't you come back earlier? Why did you have to wait until dark? At lunchtime, Yu Lang's IV drip was not finished, so I couldn't go to the cafeteria to get food. I had to ask the family members of my roommates to buy it for me.”Da Sheng grumbled.
"I wasn't in Zheng Manor all day. I couldn't borrow money there, so I went to Zhao Zhuang's house in the mountains.”
"Zhao Zhuang in the mountains, you have an uncle? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Da Sheng was surprised.
"Not to mention you, even I have never heard of it. Mother's family had no money, so the whole family was worried and thought of a way. In the end, it was Grandma who mentioned that she had such a rich uncle. Unfortunately, this uncle isn't my biological uncle. He's a distant nephew of Grandma's family. In terms of seniority, I should naturally call him uncle.”
Da Sheng believed it, but he did not think much of it. He said,""Even my own uncle can't borrow money, and I've never interacted with my distant uncle. Is he willing to lend us money? Aren't you guys too naive?”
"You're wrong. I'm not going to Zhao Zhuang to borrow money. I'm going to inquire about a very, very important matter.”
"Something very, very important? What was it? Does it have anything to do with us raising money for Yulang's surgery?”
"Of course it has something to do with it, and it has a lot to do with it! Otherwise, I wouldn't have run so far to the mountains to look for him. Let me tell you, the noble has extended an olive branch to us. As long as we reach out and accept it, we will have the surgery fee and Yu Lang's illness will be cured! What's the use of worrying at home? The outside world was very big, and there were many opportunities! Today's trip was not in vain. It could be said that he had gained a lot and was overjoyed! For us to raise surgery fees, it can really be considered: There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark!”
"A silver lining? What made you so happy? Could it be that an immortal had descended to the mortal world to save all living beings, and that he had obtained wealth from the heavens?”
"Immortals descending to the mortal world and wealth from the heavens are all myths and legends. However, there were nobles and good people in the human world. Don't be anxious. Listen to me slowly. I guarantee that you'll be as happy as I am when you hear it.”
Xiao Mei told Dasheng that she had heard from her grandmother and family that this uncle was called Zhao Zifeng. He had studied since he was young and was smart and motivated. When he grew up, he went out to do business. He opened a factory and did business in Guangzhou. Now, he was a famous big entrepreneur in Guangzhou. Now that the country attached great importance to economic development and implemented the policy of bringing in and out, his factory was getting bigger and bigger, and his business was getting more and more prosperous. He actually made a fortune! It was said that he had tens of millions of assets, a few cars, a few houses, and long-term business with Hong Kong and Macau. Not only was this uncle doing well in business, but he was also a filial son. His mother was over eighty years old. She had enjoyed enough life and actually missed her hometown and family. She wanted to go home and see them. However, the old woman was too old, the journey was far away, the conditions in the mountains were too poor, and there were no close family members at home. The son was worried and refused to let the old mother come back. Seeing that she couldn't go home, the old woman made a new request. She wanted her son to find a nanny for her in her hometown. She wanted to meet the people in her hometown, listen to them talk about the situation in her hometown, and ask about the things in her hometown. Moreover, he had repeatedly reminded her that she would not give up until she achieved her goal. Actually, there wasn't much to do with a nanny. She just wanted to talk to her, talk about the local customs of her hometown, old and new stories, comfort her, relieve her boredom, and pass the time. It was such a simple request, and his uncle could not refuse it, so he could only agree. Last year, he took a break from his busy schedule and personally came home to explain his mother's wish to the villagers. He expressed that he was willing to hire a hometown woman with a high salary to take up this post. Unfortunately, there was no suitable candidate in his family. The people in the manor were living well now. When they heard that it was thousands of miles away, they were a little worried to ask a woman to go alone to serve an old man in his eighties. The husbands of the younger ones were worried, and the children of the older ones were worried. In short, no one was willing to go. His uncle had stayed in his hometown for a week, but he had not found a suitable person. He had no choice but to return disappointed. However, the old lady did not give up and blamed her son for being afraid of spending money and not putting in effort. So last month, his uncle called again and entrusted his younger brother to continue looking for a nanny for him. He said that as long as someone was willing to go and was eloquent, clever, and obedient to make his mother happy, he would agree to any condition. When she heard this news, she felt that it was a good way to raise money for Yu Lang. It was a good opportunity. God was looking out for Yu Lang and the Wang family. It was a blessing. She was afraid that Zhao Zhuang would choose someone else and miss the opportunity, so she did not come back to discuss with Dasheng and went to look for him without stopping.
When the students heard this, they also felt that this was a good way to raise money, a good opportunity, because they really couldn't raise money in their hometown. Since there were ways and opportunities to raise money outside, why not give it a try? Where could he find money that could save Yu Lang's life? Why must he think of a way at home and hang himself on a tree? He knew that he was at the end of his rope in raising money in his hometown. It was impossible! Guangzhou might be a place to revive the dead and open another door to save Yu Lang's life. He asked Xiao Mei,"Did you go to Zhao Zhuang to find the younger brother of his cousin who asked him to find a nanny? Was there really such a thing? Not at all?"
"It's true, it's not fake at all. It's exactly the same as what Grandma said at Zheng Manor. This younger brother of his, naturally, I should also call him uncle. I was still worried that there was no suitable candidate.”
"He thinks you're suitable?"
"Of course. I'm not even thirty years old yet. I'm young, strong, capable, and a high school graduate. I can read books and newspapers, and I can read and write. Isn't it easy to take care of an old lady and make her happy? He said that he had found a few, but none of them were better than me.”
"You agreed to go?"
"No, I haven't. You don't even know about such a big matter and haven't agreed to it. How can I dare to agree to it? Moreover, Guangzhou was far away, thousands of miles away. It would take one or two years to get there. In addition, I introduced Yu Lang's condition and proposed a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. I want to pay 300,000 yuan as Yu Lang's surgery fee first, which will be deducted from my salary later. He didn't dare to agree to such a large sum of money. He said that he would repay it to his brother in Guangzhou tonight, which was Zhao Zifeng, the big boss. Give me a reply tomorrow. What do you think of this? Can you promise him?"
Xiao Mei deliberately kicked the ball to Dasheng, wanting him to make the decision. Da Sheng listened and thought about it seriously. He repeatedly calculated and said,
"In terms of raising money, it's indeed a good opportunity, a great opportunity! In the past few months, we've been selling things and borrowing money everywhere, but we've only raised less than 100,000 yuan. When he arrived in Guangzhou, he could raise 300,000 yuan at once, and Yulang's surgery fees would be settled! Back in our hometown, we wouldn't be able to raise this much in a year or two on our own. Besides, even if he managed to raise the money in a year or two, he couldn't wait that long for Yu Lang's illness! However, 300,000 yuan is equivalent to 120,000 yuan a year. You won't be able to go home for more than two years!”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to endure it for more than two years without seeing you and Yulang. Why don't we just-forget it, we'll think of something else.”Xiao Mei saw through Dasheng's thoughts. He would not give up such an opportunity to raise money, so she played hard to get. As expected, Dasheng was anxious.
"No, I can't. If we lose this opportunity, where are we going to find 300,000? In the past few months, the whole family had almost sold out all the things in the house. They had thought of all the ways, but there was no way to raise money. Without this 300,000 yuan, Yu Lang would not be able to perform the surgery. With Yu Lang's current condition, he would probably not be able to survive this calamity.”
Da Sheng shook his head repeatedly in extreme pain. He couldn't bear to see his wife leave, but he couldn't bear to lose such a good opportunity to earn money and save his son's life. Xiao Mei looked at Dasheng and only cried. She didn't say anything for a while.
"Xiao Mei, I beg you. For the sake of our son, please go to Guangzhou! As long as we get back 300,000 yuan, operate on Yu Lang, and cure the child's illness, we'll still be a complete and happy family three years later. " Otherwise…" Thinking of Yu Lang's increasingly serious condition, if he could not get surgery as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable. Da Sheng could not help but feel sad. He shook his head repeatedly, feeling extremely sad. He held Xiao Mei's hand tightly and refused to let go, as if Xiao Mei was the savior of his son.
"Don't say anymore. I understand what you mean. In fact, I think so too. Other than this method, where else can we raise money? Forget about 300,000 yuan, even 10,000 yuan would be difficult to raise at home or in his hometown. What if Dr. Hu from the provincial hospital calls and says that he has found a suitable bone marrow and tells Yu Lang to go for surgery? What should we do? Where could he find the 300,000 yuan surgery fee? The opportunity was rare and fleeting. Once he lost it, it would be too late for regrets! Since you agree, let's wait for uncle's reply tomorrow. If he agrees to my conditions, I will go. If he doesn't agree to my conditions, or if he lowers them, or if he's unwilling to pay 300,000 yuan in advance, and if it's not enough for Yulang's surgery fees, I'm determined not to go.”
Xiao Mei told the reasonable story that she had made up in advance, the beautiful lie that she had thought of, and the implementation method. She said it step by step in an orderly manner. It was euphemistic and touching, but she did not lose the opportunity. After she finished speaking, she looked at Dasheng quietly, waiting for him to make the final decision.
"Alright then. This was the only way now. This might be the last way for us to save Yulang. It's not good to lose him. It's just that doing this is too, too tiring for you.”Dasheng agreed helplessly. He had hope in his heart, but he also felt sorry for his wife. He couldn't help but cry.
"Don't say those words. There are always gains and losses in things, and we can't just consider our own losses. Let's just say that everything was for his son. In order to save her son's life, even if she had to go through fire and water, Xiao Mei was willing to admit it! Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was up to fate. Even if I die, I have no regrets if I can save my son. After I leave, don't complain. If you regret it, just forget about me for now…In the future, I won't care about Yu Lang and my family anymore. I'll entrust them to you…"
Xiao Mei thought about the future and burst into tears. She could not continue. Dasheng pulled her into his arms, and the couple hugged each other tightly, sobbing.
