Hospital.
Xie Wanlian squatted outside the operating room, hugged her knees and cried, feeling like the sky was falling.
She and her grandmother depend on each other for survival. She is very worried about her grandmother's surgery, fearing that anything might go wrong, which she would not be able to accept.
"You go back and feed the pigs. I'll go and comfort Wanlian."
"Okay, call me if anything happens, eh~"
Uncle Niu sighed and walked towards the elevator.
Aunt Niu walked over to Xie Wanlian, pulled her up and sat her down on the bench, then put her arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Wanlian, don't cry. Your grandma will be fine."
Xie Wanlian said "hmm", but her tears still rolled down the back of her hands which were covered with chilblains.
When Aunt Niu saw her hands, she felt so distressed and cursed inwardly why God only bullied such poor people. Aunt Niu was not saying this casually, as she had seen many such cases - the more miserable the person was, the more likely their parents were disabled or had cerebral palsy, and they were poor and miserable. In any case, all the possible human experiences would happen to such miserable people.
At noon, Aunt Niu went out to buy some food. Xie Wanlian had no appetite and stood haggard at the door of the operating room. Although she didn't know any medical skills, she understood that the longer the operation took, the bigger the problem would be.
Aunt Niu didn't persuade her to eat. No one would be in the mood to eat at this time.
Beep beep~
Uncle Niu called and Aunt Niu went to the stairs to answer the call.
"Hey, he hasn't come out yet. It's almost one o'clock. I think the problem is serious. Sigh~ I don't know if the old man can make it. If anything goes wrong, Wanlian will be so pitiful. Pah pah pah~ I hope everything is fine. Okay... Got it... After the operation, I'll tell you what's going on."
Although the village is very backward, the people in this backward village are very simple and kind-hearted. In addition, all of them saw Xie Shufen, a sanitation worker, pick up an abandoned baby and raise it. They were already a very poor household, and raising an abandoned baby would be a difficult task for other people. However, Xie Shufen, at her old age, raised Xie Wanlian despite all the hardships and fatigue, which shows that this old lady is very kind-hearted.
However, a few years ago, in order to earn tuition for his granddaughter, he not only broke his leg while picking up garbage, but also went blind. To make matters worse, the old man felt that he was a burden to his granddaughter since then, and that she could live a more wonderful life without him.
However, Xie Wanlian never felt that her grandmother was a burden to her, because without her, she would have frozen to death that winter 19 years ago, so she wanted to spend her whole life to repay her grandmother for raising her.
'It is so difficult to entrust great responsibilities to such people. First, their hearts and minds must suffer, their muscles and bones must be tired, their bodies must be hungry and their bodies must be empty...' This sentence is perfectly interpreted in Xie Wanlian. Perhaps she feels that this is her darkest moment, but in fact, the gears of fate have already begun to turn.
At 2:15 p.m., the operating room door opened and the exhausted doctor walked out of the operating room: "Who is the family member?"
"Doctor, how is my grandma?" Xie Wanlian asked fearfully.
Doctor: "Has your grandmother ever had a brain injury before?"
Xie Wanlian: "Well, I fell before and the nerves in my brain were compressed, which caused me to go blind."
Doctor: "This is a cerebral hemorrhage, combined with the previous complications of nerve compression. He is out of danger for now, but the situation is not optimistic. He could relapse at any time. If he does, the situation will not be so optimistic."
Xie Wanlian: "What should we do then?"
Doctor: "Unless the nerve compression is completely cured, your grandmother's blindness is caused by that nerve. We need a second surgery with a neurologist to heal that nerve system. Then your grandmother will no longer have frequent headaches and fainting attacks, which are getting more severe each time. She is almost 80 years old and her health is not optimistic. Please consider this."
Xie Wanlian: "How much does it cost?"
The doctor said, "It's probably over 300,000 yuan. Please think about it and give me a reply tonight. Xiao Li, please take the patient to the ICU first. I'll pay the bill."
"Thank you, doctor." Xie Wanlian waited for the old man to come out, and then watched him being pushed into the ICU. She went downstairs to pay the fee for the operation. The rural pension insurance reported a cost of 14,900 yuan, and there was still 15,900 yuan on the card.
Aunt Niu: "Wanlian, what do you think?"
Xie Wanlian was silent. More than 300,000 yuan is not a small amount for an ordinary family, but for Xie Wanlian it is equivalent to more than 3 billion yuan.
Of course medical treatment is necessary, but the problem is that the hospital cannot perform surgery without money.
For the first time, Xie Wanlian felt deeply helpless.
After Aunt Niu called Uncle Niu to report the current situation, she said, "Wanlian, don't think too much. Uh...your grandmother is so old, so let's just get conservative treatment."
What Aunt Niu said is not wrong. The old man is over 80 years old and Xie Wanlian has no money. Even many ordinary families treat the elderly of this age with conservative treatment (go back and wait for death), to put it nicely.
"You stay here for a while. I'll go back and help you and your grandma pack some clothes."
"Um."
After Aunt Niu left, Xie Wanlian sat alone on a bench outside the ICU, holding her cell phone. There were many contacts on her phone, but she didn't know who to call to borrow money.
I thought about asking the class monitor, but gave up because no matter how rich he is, we are just classmates, and it is impossible for him to lend me more than 300,000 yuan.
With my own net worth, oh yes, Xie Wanlian has no net worth, let alone more than 300,000, others would hesitate, even if it were 3,000 yuan, could they afford it?
Xie Wanlian raised her head, tears streaming down her eyes.
…
At the same time, in a county town in Shandong.
“Ah! It hurts! It hurts!”
At this time, Lin Miaomiao was enjoying afternoon tea in a high-end dessert shop in the county town and accidentally bit her tongue.
