Chapter 228 They won't sign?

"What?!"

Li Banxia felt dizzy, her blood almost froze, her mouth opened and closed twice, and for a few brief seconds her mind went blank, staring wide-eyed at Gao Da's assistant.

Su Laosan grabbed her and immediately exploded.

He cursed loudly, "Protect that son of a bitch! If anything happens to Su Hongying, I'll make the Zhang family pay for my sister's life!"

"What happened?"

The eldest son's wife had a bad feeling when she saw the white coat. She frowned and exchanged a glance with the eldest son.

"Brother Guo, let's go take a look."

The couple hurried to the door, just in time to hear Gao Da's assistant explaining, "...Her mother-in-law is adamant about having the child, regardless of whether the mother lives or dies. Dr. Gao tried to persuade her husband, but he said he'd listen to his mother..."

Boss Su paused, instantly realizing who he was talking about, and his eyes immediately reddened.

The eldest daughter-in-law said decisively, "Mom, you, Guo Ge, and the child's third uncle go to the hospital first. No matter what, save the person first, and then we'll talk about other things."

Li Banxia's mind went blank for a moment before she could think again.

She turned her head, trembling, to look at the eldest son's wife.

The eldest daughter-in-law nodded to her and said, "Mom, the children and I are waiting for you to come home so we can have a family reunion dinner together."

"Why."

Li Banxia's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Gao Da's assistant.

"Thank you for your help. Let's get in the car and talk as we drive."

Gao Da's assistant nodded. Su Laosan helped Li Banxia to the back seat, while Su Laoda sat in the passenger seat. Laoda's wife watched the car drive away, then went into the yard, closed and locked the gate, and went back inside to wait for the two children.

On the way, Li Banxia took a deep breath to calm herself down and asked Gao Da's assistant what had happened. "Her due date was in April, and she's only eight months pregnant now. How could she have a premature birth and a difficult delivery at this time?"

She remembers very clearly that Su Hongying's baby was a boy.

Because she usually takes such good care of herself, the baby isn't very big, and the delivery went exceptionally smoothly. How could she have suffered a difficult birth and severe bleeding in this life?!

The assistant shook his head. "I'm sorry, Comrade Li, I didn't know anything about this. Someone contacted Dr. Gao for help. Dr. Gao found out that the pregnant woman was your daughter, so he sent me to find you immediately. He's over there trying to persuade your daughter's mother-in-law or husband to agree to sign the surgical risk consent form..."

"What do you mean?" Old Su frowned. "They won't sign?"

When Li Sange had his surgery, he signed this document, so Su Laosan knew the importance of the consent form.

The assistant sighed and nodded, "Her in-laws have made it clear that they won't sign it. They insist that the doctor must prioritize saving the baby, as the risk consent form is for saving the mother, and they won't accept it."

After finishing speaking, he paused and explained to the group, "Without a risk consent form, doctors are not allowed to perform surgery on patients according to regulations."

"That bastard Zhang Haijun, Cao!"

Su Laosan cursed angrily, "They want to kill Su Hongying! Damn it!"

"In a situation like this, saving lives is the priority. We definitely need the adults. The Zhang family doesn't agree to let them send someone else to give birth to their child. Saving the baby... What a ridiculous idea!"

Su Laosan cursed and swore, while Su Laoda, who was usually so good-tempered, had a face so gloomy it looked like it could be wrung out of water.

The car sped along the deserted street.

The sounds of firecrackers rising and falling, the laughter of children, and the booming of fireworks that turned half the sky red—the journey that usually takes thirty minutes now only takes ten.

As the assistant parked the car, he reminded Li Banxia, ​​"Sign the papers first. Su Hongying can't delay any longer. If it's any later, the baby might suffocate due to lack of oxygen in her womb, or it might inhale cloudy amniotic fluid, causing inflammation in its lungs and pneumonia. It could also lead to choking, suffocation, blood infection, and other symptoms..."

"Where is the master?" Li Banxia asked.

The assistant paused, meeting Li Banxia's gaze, "...You'll die."

"Damn!"

Su Laosan shouted, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

The assistant stopped the car and gave the three directions.

Li Banxia opened the car door, stumbled for a moment, but only for a moment. She took a deep breath, held her breath, and started running towards the building.

"...On the third floor!"

Su Laoda and Su Laosan had to go around the car, a step slower than Li Banxia, ​​but their long legs allowed them to catch up with Li Banxia in just a few steps.

"Big brother."

Su Laosan called out to Su Laoda, the two exchanged a glance, and simultaneously reached out to support Li Banxia as they charged forward.

The mother and her two children rushed up to the third floor in one go.

Seeing Gao Da and the nurse still patiently explaining to the in-laws, "...There's no such thing as saving the baby. It's true that doctors are duty-bound to save lives, but the baby is still in the mother's womb and isn't a natural person until it's born..."

"Then let the doctor take my eldest grandson out. Once he's separated from Su Hongying, he'll be a person." Su Hongying's mother-in-law, Zheng Xiulan, said impatiently with a droopy face.

Zhang Haijun stood by without saying a word.

"Comrade Zhang Haijun, Comrade Su Hongying is your wife, so your signature makes no difference." Gao Da was furious; he had never seen such clueless in-laws.

It's one thing for the mother-in-law to be clueless, but this grown man just stands there with a dark face, as if someone owes him money.

The woman lying inside, who had narrowly escaped death, was his wife, the wife who had borne him children, and he...

"It's the Lunar New Year, and they really know how to pick the time to bring bad luck, making it impossible for anyone to have a good New Year!" Zhang Lao Er glared at the operating room door and spat lightly.

A thin woman was standing against the wall. When she saw the mother and her two children rushing in from the stairwell, especially Li Banxia who was in the lead, her eyes lit up slightly.

Su Hongying does look somewhat like Li Banxia; she noticed that.

Li Banxia, ​​of course, heard what Zheng Xiulan said to Gao Da and the nurse, and roared, "Zheng Xiulan, you dare to touch my Hongying!"

Zheng Xiulan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw Li Banxia rushing towards her, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Why is she here? Who notified her?"

She glared at her eldest son, Zhang Haijun.

Zhang Haijun shook his head, "Mom, it wasn't me. I never left from beginning to end."

Zheng Xiulan suddenly realized, "Oh, who is that?"

Before the accounts were settled, she glanced up and saw her two tall and strong sons following behind Li Banxia, ​​and immediately felt a little guilty and flustered.

Li Banxia rushed over and slapped Zheng Xiulan, who was grabbing the nurse, away.

She snatched the surgical risk consent form from the nurse and said, "I'm the mother of the new mother, I'll sign this!"

"Ah... here, here's a pen for Auntie."

The nurse paused for a moment, then realized what she meant and quickly handed over the pen.

Li Banxia reached out to take it, and Zheng Xiulan instinctively tried to snatch it back. Li Banxia slapped her across the face again with such force that Zheng Xiulan spun around on the spot, lost her balance, and stumbled to the ground.

"Boss, stop her! Don't let her sign! If she does, your son will be gone!" Zheng Xiulan shouted, urging Zhang Haijun to go.

Zhang Haijun is truly a man of action; if his own mother tells him to go, he goes.

"Zhang Haijun!"
