Jiang Youcai walked out the door with the medical examination report in his hand, each step feeling like he was walking on cotton.
However, as soon as she opened the door to the doctor's office, she was startled to see Su Ai standing outside!
"Wife, you..."
Jiang Youcai's eyes widened. Without thinking, he quickly put on a smiling face. "Wife, what are you doing here? All your test results are normal, you..."
"You don't need to hide it from me anymore." Su Aiqian asked the doctor with red eyes and a trembling voice, "How much longer do I have to live?"
The doctor adjusted his glasses and told her truthfully, "Breast cancer is a rather troublesome disease, and your cancer cells have already spread. With surgery and subsequent chemotherapy, you can extend your life by about five years."
Five years?
Su Ai stood there, stunned.
Jiang Youcai, fearing she couldn't handle it, quickly stepped forward to pull her back. "Wife, it's okay... It's just a minor surgery. There are cancer cells in your body, we can just get them out, right?"
Su Ai then asked, "How much will it cost?"
Jiang Youcai grew anxious: "Why are you asking this! No matter how much money it costs, we'll..."
"I asked the doctor, not you!" Su Ai shouted.
Jiang Youcai was taken aback and immediately fell silent. The doctor looked at her and said softly, "Mrs. Jiang, you need further examination before we can develop a treatment plan for you. As for the specific cost, we can only know that in the detailed treatment plan."
"However, this is indeed not a small amount, and you should be prepared."
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Youcai said hurriedly, "Doctor, please treat us! We have the money no matter how much it costs!"
"Alright, let's go back." Su Aiqian became unusually calm.
Jiang Youcai followed behind her in a daze.
This woman, who has shared half her life with her husband, seems to have never walked with more determination than she does now.
"Wife..."
"It's not going to be treated."
Upon returning to the ward, Su Aiqian uttered these three words in a low voice.
Normally, given her fiery temper, Jiang Youcai would definitely think she was just throwing a tantrum.
But at this moment, Su Aiqian remained calm and composed, packing her things to prepare for discharge. She changed out of her hospital gown, packed her luggage neatly, and only after she finished all this did she walk up to the dumbfounded Jiang Youcai.
"I'm not getting treatment anymore." Her voice was completely calm. "The family savings, the house, the shops—everything will be divided as I said last time. The old house and supermarket will go to Mianmian, the apartment and savings to you and Xiaowei. After I'm gone, you two..."
Before Su Ai could finish speaking, she frowned and looked at the big man in front of her, who was crying his eyes out, with some disdain.
"Go ahead and wail! I'm not dead yet!"
Jiang Youcai froze, stopped crying, and then burst out laughing.
Su Ai rolled her eyes several times and punched him twice in exasperation.
"You! When will you ever act like a man?!"
"Jiang Youcai, from now on this family will depend on you to support it, do you understand?"
Jiang Youcai nodded hesitantly, and upon hearing her words, tears welled up in his eyes again.
In his mind, he would do anything, even go bankrupt, to treat his wife's illness.
But before he got to know Su Ai, he knew she was so "money-loving" that she would never have agreed.
“It’s not worth emptying my savings to live five more years!” Su Aiqian laughed magnanimously. “It’s better to leave this money to the children. While I’m still alive, I’ll get Mianmian and Xiao Huo registered their marriage and transfer the supermarket and house to her. That way, I can have peace of mind.”
"But wife..."
Jiang Youcai choked up and couldn't speak, while Su Aiqian held his hand tightly.
She was the one who was sick, but now she was the one comforting him.
"Don't worry, I know my body." She chuckled. "Don't listen to the doctors. What do you mean by cancer cells spreading? I'm perfectly fine! Besides, I've heard that 80% of illnesses are psychological! As long as I maintain a good attitude, I might live many more years!"
Jiang Youcai wiped away his tears, afraid of upsetting her, and dared not utter a sound.
“Oh, right,” Su Aiqian continued, “don’t let the children know about this.”
"Um……"
"Especially, we can't let Xiao Huo know! What if he thinks I'm a burden to Mianmian and doesn't want to be a live-in son-in-law anymore?"
"No, Huo is a very good person! He was the one who gave you a blood transfusion when you were injured this time."
“These are two different things!” Su Ai blinked. “What man isn’t practical? Little Huo isn’t stupid!”
"this……"
"In short, we can't let him know! At least not until he's officially married to Mianmian!"
Jiang Youcai always listened to his wife, and this matter was no exception.
If you don't want me to talk about it, then I won't.
She didn't want treatment; even if he forced her onto the operating table, she would stop the doctor from performing the surgery.
The only thing he can do now is to do everything he can to be good to her.
Accompany her on her final journey.
Make her happy, so that her life will not have been in vain.
Jiang Youcai felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian arrived shortly afterward.
As soon as Jiang Mianmian entered the door, she sweetly called out, "Mom!" Su Aiqian smiled and went to greet her as if nothing had happened.
"Didn't I tell you not to come pick me up from the hospital? I'm all packed and ready."
"It's because Xiao Huo is thinking of you!" Jiang Mianmian whispered in her ear with a smile. "How about it, isn't your son-in-law very filial?"
"Of course!" Su Aiqian touched her face. "You are both filial children, and I even chose this son-in-law for you!"
Jiang Mianmian smiled shyly. Su Aiqian looked at her quietly for a long while, his gaze as if he wanted to imprint her image in his mind forever.
