Xia Jianguo's test results didn't come out until the afternoon, and Xia Wan was immediately called to the office.
Xia Jianguo's leg wasn't as bad as she had imagined, but the outcome wasn't good either.
The doctor handed the examination report to Xia Wan and explained, "Your father's current condition is that the nerve damage in his lower leg is quite severe. He will need surgery followed by rehabilitation training!"
Xia Wan knew nothing about medicine, but adhering to the principle of asking questions when she didn't understand, she asked directly, "What are the risks of this surgery? What is the success rate?"
The old doctor looked ashamed and explained to her, "Currently, the technology and medical conditions at our county hospital do not meet the standards for performing this surgery. If you want to have this surgery, you need to go to Beijing. You will need to ask the doctors there for specific questions after you are transferred."
"Okay, thank you, doctor. So, is my dad's current physical condition suitable for that surgery?" Xia Wan asked, pinching her brow.
I don't know if she has enough money for Lao Xia's surgery right now. If not, she'll have to wait a while longer to earn more money.
The old doctor sighed: "I still suggest that you take care of your health first before thinking about surgery. We are too far from Beijing. It would be too much trouble for the patient to travel back and forth. I am worried that the patient will suffer from the bumpy journey and then have surgery. Their health will collapse by then."
"Okay, I understand. Then I'll need to trouble you to prescribe some medicine to regulate my body. How long will it take to get me back to my best condition?" Xia Wan nodded in agreement.
Old Xia's health cannot be taken lightly; she must remember this carefully.
"It will take about a year, of course, everyone's physical condition is different. If you cooperate actively, you may recover faster." The senior doctor picked up a pen, wrote a prescription and handed it to her: "During your hospitalization, the nurse can help you brew the medicine. Take this prescription for a month and then come back for a check-up."
Xia Wan gratefully accepted the prescription, asked some questions about precautions, and then left.
She doesn't plan to tell Lao Xia about going to Beijing for surgery right now. Since she needs another year to recover, she might as well wait until she's fully recovered before telling him.
To avoid having to talk about it now, which would only make Lao Xia worry about money again.
When Xia Jianguo saw his daughter return to the ward, he only chatted with her about other things and didn't ask about his own health at all.
In his mind, his leg was beyond repair, and anything he did now would be a waste of effort.
However, even if he didn't ask, Xia Wan would take the initiative to say, "Old Xia, your body needs a lot of nourishment. The doctor prescribed Chinese medicine for you. Don't be afraid of the bitterness when you take it."
She spoke in a teasing tone, appearing very relaxed, but she was worried that Lao Xia might overthink things.
In the afternoon, after Xia Jianguo fell asleep, Xia Wan spent 20 points in the system shop and exchanged them for a can of milk powder.
The packaging looks vintage, and you can just take it out without anyone suspecting anything. I didn't expect this system to be so clever.
Everything went smoothly after that. Xia Wan focused on nourishing her father's body. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her father's complexion had improved a lot!
On the fourth day of Xia Jianguo's hospitalization, Xia went out to buy lunch and when he came back, he found that a new patient had come to the ward.
He was a man in his early twenties, with a fat head and big ears, his head wrapped in gauze, sitting on the bed eating biscuits.
Xia Wan placed the food she had bought on the bedside table and noticed that her father looked very unwell.
He was panting heavily, as if he had been angered by someone.
Xia Wan frowned at him: "Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, let's eat." Xia Jianguo concealed the disappointment and anger in his eyes, clearly not wanting to say anything more.
Xia Wan opened her mouth but ultimately didn't ask anything!
Never mind, it's obvious without even asking that the new patient offended her father!
Otherwise, how could Lao Xia, who had never even left the ward, have gotten so angry?
Xia Wan glanced at the fat, greasy man on the hospital bed without making a sound.
Before she could retaliate, the man looked her up and down and said, "This must be your new cousin. City people aren't all that great, are they? Look how skinny you are, tsk tsk tsk, you don't even have a good figure like Xia Qiao. You're so skinny, you're really ugly!"
"Wu Baoping, shut up! Xiao Wan is your cousin, so watch your mouth!" Xia Jianguo's forehead veins bulged with anger, but he seemed to be holding back his temper.
"Oh, I didn't say anything, why are you so angry about this mess?" Wu Baoping said casually, his eyes full of disdain and mockery as he looked at Xia Jianguo.
Xia Jianguo pulled Xia Wan back from getting up, preventing her from doing something rash: "No matter what, I am your elder. How can you talk like that? Don't you have any manners?"
This is his wife's nephew. He's the only boy in the whole family, and they dote on him. Even his wife often takes things from home back to her parents' house to support her nephew!
Despite the family's increasingly dire financial situation, she frequently encouraged her son to take on long-distance jobs to earn money. Apart from the portion she handed over to the government, she secretly took the rest of the money back to her parents' home!
He saw all of this and was furious, but there was nothing he could do!
My son is a dull-witted person. He's a good-for-nothing who lies in bed all day and can't care about these things at all. Even if he raises any objections, he'll only be met with ridicule and sarcasm.
Just like now, Wu Baoping, who is a junior, doesn't take his uncle seriously at all.
"What? You think you're all that just because I call you uncle! Didn't you see my aunt doesn't even want to talk to you? Who do you think you are, an elder!" Wu Baoping sneered, his words dripping with sarcasm.
Xia Wan finally couldn't hold back any longer. She pulled her father's hand away, took a few steps to Wu Baoping's side, picked him up, and threw him away violently!
"You bastard, if you can't speak human language, shut up!"
Wu Baoping's obese body was slammed heavily to the ground, and he felt as if his internal organs had been shattered!
"You little bitch, how dare you hit me! Wait until my aunt gets here, she'll beat you to death!"
Xia Wan scoffed: "Don't even mention your aunt, even if your grandma came, it wouldn't make a difference!"
Enraged, she was about to kick Wu Baoping again.
"Xiao Wan, stop right now!"
Xia Wan was stopped by her father's voice and reduced her strength, but she still stepped on Wu Baoping and gritted her teeth, saying, "You bastard, I don't want to see blood today. If you dare to say another nasty word, I'll break your leg!"
[Congratulations, host! You have received 5 points from Wu Baoping's contribution, bringing your total to 62 points. Please keep up the good work!]
"Xiao Wan, come here quickly." Xia Jianguo held onto the edge of the bed, as if he was about to pull her up.
The Wu family cherished Wu Baoping, their only male grandson, like the apple of their eye. Now that Xiao Wan has slapped their eyeball, how could they tolerate this?
Putting aside others, even his wife, when she arrives later, will definitely help her nephew beat and scold Xiao Wan.
