While Zhang Cuihua was unconscious in her hospital bed, the doctor took the opportunity to perform an examination on her.
After all, for older people, fainting or falling can be a serious or minor issue.
Even worse, if they fall down, they might not feel anything wrong at the time, and they can get up and walk or run as if nothing happened.
But after a couple of days at home, the problems might surface.
At that time, the situation was extremely dangerous.
Therefore, experienced doctors are usually extremely cautious in such situations.
Zhang Cuihua didn't remain unconscious for long before slowly opening her eyes.
All I could see was white, and there was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
How did I end up in a hospital?
As memories of what happened before she fainted surfaced, Zhang Cuihua roughly understood what had occurred.
But the mere thought of Su Yueya's face made her instinctively cut off any associations.
Ignoring it for now, she slowly got out of bed and groped her way to the nurses' station outside to ask the doctors and nurses about her condition.
"Doctor, nurse, am I alright?"
Zhang Cuihua was still shaken.
Fortunately, she was lucky today; she met a kind person after fainting, who at least took her to the hospital.
"Auntie, please go back to your room and lie down. I'll go call the doctor for you," the nurse said.
Zhang Cuihua obediently returned to the ward.
The doctor arrived quickly.
He was also holding a report in his hand.
"Auntie, do you remember how you fainted?"
Zhang Cuihua nodded.
She remembers it all so clearly, but she just doesn't want to think about it again.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere right now?"
"It's alright..." Zhang Cuihua touched her tailbone, feeling a slight pain there, but not enough to affect her walking.
"It's normal for your tailbone to hurt. You fainted and fell, so you must have bumped it. But you're lucky your bones aren't broken. Just rest well for the next few days and you'll be fine. But..."
"What is it?"
Zhang Cuihua was on edge, worried that the doctor might hesitate or stutter.
However, she was somewhat aware of her own physical condition.
"Your health isn't very good!" the doctor said, flipping through the examination report in his hand.
The results that just came out are clearly about Zhang Cuihua.
"Looking at this report, you worked too hard when you were young, and you developed health problems after giving birth. Your physical condition is very poor, you have been malnourished for many years, and your physical condition is not good at all. You must feel uncomfortable in your daily life, right?"
Zhang Cuihua nodded, agreeing with the doctor's assessment.
But it's not entirely correct either.
"Doctor, I used to be in poor health, and even walking was very difficult for me, but I got better two years ago!" Zhang Cuihua said, puzzled.
Judging from what the doctor said, it sounded like a serious condition.
But that's not the case. During the years she spent in the village, her health improved, she had more energy to walk, and she could even help Yueya with some chores. So how could she have any health problems?
"How come it's gotten worse again now?"
Zhang Cuihua was very depressed.
Actually, she had this feeling before, but she always had a wishful thinking, thinking that she might just be having trouble adjusting to the new environment and that she would get used to it.
Now that the doctor has told her, she can no longer deceive herself that her slight discomfort is due to being too busy since moving to the capital.
"Then... could you think of a way to help me recover a little?"
Zhang Cuihua wasn't afraid of anything else, except that she would get sick and have to spend money, which would also be a burden on her son.
Although my son is now a deputy battalion commander and can easily make a little money, he is still not married!
There will be many places to spend money in the future. Beijing is a big city, and everything costs more than in a small village.
She was a village woman who didn't know how to earn money, so she could only rely on saving.
Hospitals are places that burn through money.
If you can avoid going, then don't go.
Zhang Cuihua's words truly stunned the doctor.
"Your health improved a couple of years ago?" The doctor's tone was clearly full of doubt.
"Yes! She can walk and run, and she can eat a lot. She's very agile!" Zhang Cuihua said truthfully.
"Impossible," the doctor said outright.
He guessed that the patient's description might be incorrect.
After all, the test report doesn't lie.
"Based on your medical report, your current health condition is definitely not something that happened in just a few days, but rather the result of years of accumulated illness."
"It's practically impossible to recover completely."
"The only way is to take good care of him and not let him work anymore."
treat?
There really aren't any treatments that offer immediate results right now.
The doctor's words sent Zhang Cuihua's heart sinking to the bottom.
Has her health deteriorated to this extent?
But something's not right!
She wasn't lying; she was clearly in excellent health back in the countryside!
Especially after Su Yueya married into the family, her health improved day by day. These are all real things that happened, not something she made up.
Could it be... because Su Yueya did most of the housework back then?
That's probably it!
The doctor just said that her illness is incurable and she can only rest and recuperate.
To put it bluntly, it's like a disease of affluence—it makes you unable to work!
But after arriving in the capital, she only took care of household chores and didn't do any hard work.
How did it turn out like this?
"Auntie, auntie?"
Seeing that Zhang Cuihua remained silent and seemed to be deep in thought, the doctor didn't say anything more.
"Huh?" Zhang Cuihua came back to her senses.
"You don't need to be hospitalized right now. Just pay the fees and your family can pick you up and take you home. Keep an eye on the pain in your tailbone. If it doesn't get better in a couple of days, come back to the hospital." After giving the instructions, the doctor turned and left.
Zhang Cuihua was still puzzled.
However, since she didn't need to be hospitalized, she decided to leave immediately.
"Nurse, where do I pay?"
She can't afford to stay in the hospital!
With the nurse's help, Zhang Cuihua successfully settled the bill and slowly walked back home.
She just fainted for a moment, and a checkup cost her ten yuan!
Zhang Cuihua's heart was bleeding!
Hospitals really are money-burning places!
It's all because of that fall. She was perfectly fine, how could she have fallen and fainted?
So, Zhang Cuihua naturally thought of the root cause of this accident—
Su Yueya!
That woman in the bright red wedding dress really looks just like Su Yueya.
Could she be Su Yueya?
Impossible, how could this be?
Zhang Cuihua's hands were intertwined, unconsciously picking at each other. She kept repeating this action as if out of control, and occasionally her whole body would tremble, as if she were having a cramp.
She was completely overwhelmed by fear.
Why is Su Yueya in the capital?
Is she getting married today?
Is the man next to her the regimental commander?
No, no, no... Impossible!
Su Yueya can't possibly come to the capital!
Perhaps, just as she had dreamt, Su Yueya had already died in the village.
That woman is definitely not Su Yueya! She just looks similar. After all, that woman does look more noble and beautiful than Su Yueya, and is slightly more voluptuous.
