But for Xie Wanlian, she had never thought about 2.56 million, but she was thinking about 300,000 now. However, she was powerless and even felt useless. Her grandmother was sick and only needed that little bit of money to save her, but she couldn't come up with it. Apart from crying, she really didn't know what to do.
Xie Wanlian stayed up until 7pm. Aunt Niu came to the hospital with food and said, "Wanlian, eat something. If you don't eat like this, by the time your grandma recovers, you'll fall ill again. Listen to your aunt and eat something."
Aunt Niu opened the lunch box and stuffed it into her hands.
"Eat it."
Aunt Niu touched Xie Wanlian's haggard face with heartache.
Xie Wanlian said "hmm~", lowered her head and scooped a spoonful of rice. Her tears dripped into the spoon and mixed with the rice and put it into her mouth.
Knock knock knock~
"Hurry up, hurry up, Patient No. 9's condition has worsened."
At this time, footsteps were heard, and several doctors hurried into the operating room to prepare for the operation. The ICU ward was opened, and two nurses pushed Xie Wanlian's grandmother to the operating room.
"grandmother……"
Seeing this, Xie Wanlian put down her lunch box and rushed forward, but was stopped by a nurse. "You are Xie Shufen's family member, right? Come, sign this first."
Xie Wanlian took the thick document and took a look at it——[Critical Illness Notice]
"Sign here."
The nurse didn't even give Xie Wanlian time to look. She just pointed at the place where she needed to sign and asked her to sign.
Xie Wanlian signed the document with tears in her eyes and fell into Aunt Niu's arms. Aunt Niu was also shocked and thought that the old man probably wouldn't make it through the night.
The operation is ongoing.
After 9 o'clock in the evening, the elevator door opened. The village chief and several enthusiastic villagers learned from Aunt Niu's call to Uncle Niu that his condition had worsened, so they came to the hospital to visit. Because there were not many people in the village, most of them had moved away, and most of those who stayed were middle-aged and elderly people. Usually, Xie Wanlian would also help the elderly in the village solve some problems such as how to use mobile phones, register for pension insurance, take photos, etc. Xie Wanlian has a very good reputation in the village.
The village chief took the lead and took out an envelope and handed it to Xie Wanlian: "Wanlian, this is a little money that everyone in our village has collected. It's not much, just over 9,000 yuan. Take it to treat your grandmother. Alas, this is all we can afford."
Xie Wanlian was only concerned about her grandmother's condition. Aunt Niu took the envelope and said, "Thank you, village chief, and thank you everyone."
The village chief said: "Although this amount of money is not much, it is a token of everyone's kindness. By the way, how is Aunt Niu?"
Aunt Niu: "I don't know. We'll know after the operation is done."
The village chief looked at the time and said, "We are fine. Let's all wait here for Shufen to come out."
At 10:30 in the evening, the door of the operating room opened, and Xie Wanlian rushed over: "Doctor, how is my grandma?"
Doctor: "The situation is very unstable and life-threatening at any time. There are currently two options. One is conservative treatment in the hospital, but there is a high possibility of recurrence and your grandmother could need to go back to the operating room at any time. If this continues, not only will the elderly suffer, but her body will also not be able to bear it. The other option is the neurosurgery I mentioned this morning."
Village chief: "Can that surgery cure it?"
Doctor: "The old man's blindness is mainly caused by nerve compression. If it is delayed until now, it will become life-threatening. The best way is to perform this surgery immediately."
Doctors won't say 'surgery will make you better' and that means you'll be fine.
Village chief: "Then move on. How much does it cost?"
Doctor: "The entire surgery plus the subsequent recovery medication will cost about 300,000 yuan."
Village chief: "More than 300,000? Then let's go for conservative treatment."
The village chief is a down-to-earth person.
The doctor glanced at Xie Wanlian, probably understanding her family situation: "You take a night to think about it, conservative treatment or surgery, we can't delay any longer."
After saying that, the doctor turned and left.
The village chief gave Aunt Niu a look, and the two walked to the stairwell. The village chief lit a cigarette helplessly, took a deep breath and said, "Aunt Niu, Xie Shufen is more than ten years older than me. She was an educated youth who came to our village. She is considered a respectable person. Wanlian is still young, so I will take care of Xie Shufen's funeral."
Aunt Niu: "What are you talking about? The patient is still in the operating room."
Village chief: "I'm telling you the truth. Didn't you understand what the doctor meant? What conservative treatment? Just go back and wait for death. He said that unless you pay more than 300,000 yuan, you'll just wait for death the next time you have an attack. You should consider these things."
"Oh~" Aunt Niu sighed, not knowing what to say.
In the corridor, Xie Wanlian heard the conversation coming from the stairwell. She knew that the village chief was telling the truth. If her grandmother left the hospital, she would have another attack, and once it happened, it would be impossible to save her. If she stayed in the hospital without the surgery costing more than 300,000 yuan, and kept being rescued like this, not only would the money be wasted, but she would also be exhausted and something would happen. The only option was to have the surgery.
Xie Wanlian stood up, but Aunt Niu didn't follow her, letting her think about it quietly.
Xie Wanlian walked downstairs and out of the hospital, squatted in the snow on the side of the road, hugged her knees and cried helplessly.
More than 300,000.
She thought back to the time she spent with her grandmother.
That winter 19 years ago, her life was in the hands of her grandmother, who chose to let the abandoned baby live.
This winter 19 years ago, her grandmother's life was in her hands. Her eyes suddenly became very determined. She chose to let her grandmother live, which was considered a way of repaying her grandmother.
Xie Wanlian took out her cell phone, opened the phone book, scrolled down to a person's phone number, hesitated for a long time, and then pressed it.
【Hello, the number you dialed is out of service area】
Where is the squad leader!
Xie Wanlian was about to collapse.
