Upon arriving at the hospital again, Cheng Xiaokui led her mother-in-law to Song Jingchuan's office with practiced ease.
Song Jingchuan had already prepared Lin Qiuru's medical examination report and paid the fees.
When he saw Lin Qiuru arrive, he took her directly to the ultrasound room for a checkup.
This time he was more thorough than before, spending the entire time in the ultrasound room examining Lin Qiuru's spleen and liver.
Cheng Xiao Kui and Si Mu Yang waited in the corridor, both of them with heavy expressions.
Cheng Xiao Kui felt that time was passing very slowly. She didn't know how much time had passed, but it felt like forever before she saw the door to the ultrasound room open.
She rushed over and asked, "How were the test results?"
Song Jingchuan took off his large white mask and said, "I checked it several times more carefully, but to be honest, there are still no obvious abnormalities..."
He looked at Si Muyang, knowing that only Si Muyang could make the decision.
Cheng Xiao Kui's brow furrowed into a knot, but the ultrasound showed no abnormalities.
This doesn't mean Lin Qiuru is without abnormalities; it's just that the instruments used in this era weren't as precise as those used in later eras...
Another issue is that pancreatic cancer is very difficult to detect in its early stages...
Lin Qiuru walked out of the ultrasound room and said, "Um... I've finished my test, and there's nothing... wrong."
Her voice was soft, like that of a child who had done something wrong.
Just now, during the examination, she really hoped that Song Jingchuan could find something wrong with her so that Cheng Xiaokui wouldn't be in a difficult position anymore!
But the test results were just that good; there were no abnormalities whatsoever...
The entire corridor was eerily quiet, just like the four words written in red paint on the glass door: "Keep quiet."
Song Jingchuan was a little embarrassed. He said, "I know Xiao Kui means well, but if the ultrasound can't find any abnormalities, we can't perform surgery on a patient who has no symptoms, can we?"
"Or we could come back in a few days for another check-up. If we find anything abnormal, then we can perform surgery..."
Si Muyang asked, "If surgery is performed only after abnormalities are discovered, what stage of cancer is it? What is the survival rate?"
Song Jingchuan pursed his lips and said, "This... if an abnormality is found, it's generally at least mid-stage... the survival rate, if the surgery is performed in time, should be around 50%."
Si Muyang said, "So, by the time the abnormality was detected, my mother was already half dead?"
Song Jingchuan said, "Yes...but...you don't really want to have your mother operated on right now, do you? She doesn't have any symptoms at all!"
He looked at Si Muyang with a puzzled expression, then turned to look at Cheng Xiao Kui.
He used to suspect Cheng Xiao Kui and even wanted to kill his mother-in-law. But after spending some time with Cheng Xiao Kui, he changed his mind.
He felt that Cheng Xiao Kui did not want to harm her mother-in-law, but simply wanted to save her.
But good intentions don't always guarantee good results!
Just like Cheng Xiao Kui now!
Si Muyang walked up to his mother and said, "Mom, how about we have surgery to see if there's anything wrong with my pancreas?"
As long as the surgery is performed, the diagnosis will definitely be accurate! I know you might not understand why I'm saying this.
But surgery won't kill you, but if something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'll lose you forever!
Cheng Xiaokui stared at Si Muyang in astonishment; this was something she hadn't expected.
Si Muyang actually... actually believed her unconditionally?!
But how could that be?
Who would believe such a thing?
Lin Qiuru said, "Okay, I'll listen to you! If it's not cancer, then it'll just be stitched up, right? It's no big deal, I'll have the surgery."
Song Jingchuan really wanted to tell Lin Qiuru that this wasn't about sewing clothes...
After all, it's a major surgery that requires general anesthesia. It's impossible to say that there's absolutely no damage to the human body!
But compared to half a life, this loss is indeed negligible...
But who would take such a risk?
Si Muyang said to Song Jingchuan, "My mother has agreed to the surgery, so you can arrange it!"
Si Muyang's mind was a bit muddled. He pressed his temples to try and clear his head.
He said, "Is this your decision?"
Si Muyang said, "Yes, this is my decision! I know it doesn't conform to your usual surgical procedures. But I don't want to lose my mother."
My mother has always lived in the countryside, and because of my work, I haven't been able to fulfill my filial duty for even a single day.
I hope she lives to be a hundred and lives with me in Beijing. So let's have her undergo surgery."
Song Jingchuan sighed and said, "Alright, if this is your choice, I can arrange surgery for your mother right now."
I'll go arrange it now. Your inpatient department and the inpatient department are open. The doctor said I let you in!
"Xiao Kui, after you've paid the surgery fee, come to my office. Bring the deposit tomorrow to pay it."
He knew that Si Muyang might not have brought that much cash, so he arranged for Si Muyang's mother to stay first.
Cheng Xiao Kui brought Lin Qiu Ru and Si Mu Yang to the inpatient department.
The nurse at the inpatient ward knew Cheng Xiao Kui all too well. Song Jingchuan had worked at the hospital for so many years and had never made an exception for any patient.
Song Jingchuan made an exception only for this girl!
So when Cheng Xiaokui told the nurse at the gate that Song Jingchuan had let Lin Qiuru stay first, the nurse immediately let her through.
The nurse arranged for Lin Qiuru to be in the surgical ward. Because of Song Jingchuan's connections, she found a ward with the fewest patients.
There were only two patients in the ward; it was unusually quiet.
Cheng Xiao Kui asked Si Mu Yang to accompany Lin Qiu Ru while she went downstairs to pay the surgery fee.
Actually, the surgery fee is less than the deposit; a surgery fee of 100 yuan is still affordable!
If Lin Qiuru had a job, she could be hospitalized and have surgery for free simply by presenting a three-part form issued by her employer.
After paying the surgery fee, Cheng Xiaokui took a stack of forms to Song Jingchuan's office.
She walked into the office and said, "I've paid the surgery fees. Here are all the payment receipts!"
She figured Song Jingchuan called her to his office to see the payment slip.
Song Jingchuan didn't even glance at the lists.
He said, "I've heard the latest news that Zhang Weidong's situation has become serious!"
Cheng Xiaokui was taken aback, not expecting that Song Jingchuan would talk to her about Zhang Weidong.
She asked, "Serious? How serious could it be? Is he dead?"
Song Jingchuan said, "When I said 'serious,' I didn't mean it that way. When I said 'serious,' I meant it was serious for you!"
I tried to mediate this matter, hoping to settle it and compensate their family. But I failed!
His father contacted all the leaders in the military, getting the military to intervene in the Public Security Bureau and insist that you be sentenced to death…
This was the latest news he had received, and he didn't dare tell Si Muyang about it.
He chose to tell Cheng Xiao Kui first because there was another important matter he wanted Cheng Xiao Kui to handle!
