Chapter 505 Cervical Inclusion (Cervical Cancer)
After speaking to Yunniang, who was lying on the bed, and receiving permission, Li's mother helped Li Sanniang lift the thin quilt covering Yunniang.
Li San Niang hadn't gotten too close yet; she was just standing in front of the bed when the blanket was lifted, and the stench immediately wafted out.
However, neither Li San Niang nor Li's mother, who was closest to her, showed any unusual expression.
Li San Niang was well-prepared, while Li's mother had seen it all before.
Li's mother mostly delivered babies for poor families. How could people who barely had enough to eat possibly clean themselves?
Earlier, when Li San Niang accompanied her mother to deliver babies, didn't she give the woman with pubic lice a big fright?
(Chapter 39 plot)
Therefore, although Yunniang's illness caused her lower body to smell bad, Li's mother did not say it directly. She knew that if it weren't for the illness and the conditions, which young lady would not want to be as clean as the noble ladies of the upper class?
Li Sanniang carefully examined it with a cloth pad. Not only were the bloodstains on the underpants evidence, but the purulent stains on them also proved it, along with the strong, fishy stench.
Even before Li San Niang activated her X-ray vision, she already knew the situation.
When she lifted Yunniang's clothes to reveal her belly, signs of hydronephrosis were indeed visible. As Li Sanniang palpated her abdomen, she activated her X-ray vision and examined the area layer by layer. She saw that Yunniang's uterus was no longer normal; it had become an empty cavity with ulcers.
Not to mention that Yunniang was already in the late stage of uterine obstruction, and there was simply no way to save her.
Even in the early stages of this disease, Li Sanniang was not confident that the patient could have a five-year survival period.
In short, this disease was incurable at this point.
Just by looking at Li San Niang's appearance, Li's mother knew that Yun Niang was truly beyond saving.
After tidying up everything for Yunniang, Li Sanniang went out and found Dapeng to learn about Yunniang's specific situation.
As for why we didn't ask Yunniang?
Yunniang was actually enduring immense pain, and her body was on its last legs. Even turning over was difficult, so how could she have the energy to answer questions and diagnose with Li Sanniang?
As the eldest son in the family, Dapeng didn't understand why Li Sanniang was asking these questions, but he knew it must be related to saving his mother, so he tried his best to think of an answer.
“My mother was a child bride, and she must have given birth to her first child when she was fifteen years old.”
I vaguely remember my grandmother saying that her mother's first three children didn't make it big.
My mother gave birth to my eldest sister when she was twenty, but the family was poor at the time, so they gave her away.
Later, she should have given birth to two more older sisters, but I don't know if they didn't survive or if they were given away. I was the first child left in the family.
I was born when my mother was nearly thirty. Two years after I was born, she had a baby named Xiao Que and a baby named Xiao Ge.
Li San Niang looked at the two children, a boy and a girl, who were timidly following behind Da Peng, and nodded slightly.
Although we cannot know the details of Yunniang's menstrual cycle based on her past medical history, we can tell from Dapeng's description of her daily life that Yunniang had obvious symptoms about half a year ago.
But given their circumstances, how could they dare to see a doctor? Where could they possibly afford to see a doctor?
After watching Dapeng instruct the little sparrow and the little goose to play in the yard, Li Sanniang led him back into the east wing room.
Li's mother moved chairs and stools for Dapeng and herself, and sat directly on the edge of the bed. Wu Qiaolan went out, leaving only Li San Niang and the other three people in the room.
"Sigh," Li Sanniang sighed, frowning as she stared at the ground, pondering how to say these words.
"Cough cough," Yunniang coughed twice and struggled to get up. Li's mother quickly stepped forward to help her sit up halfway, and placed two medicinal pillows behind her to support her.
With a pale, ashen face, sunken cheeks, and cloudy eyes, Yunniang coughed again before turning her head. She first glanced at her child, then looked at Li Sanniang, and slowly asked, word by word, "Female doctor, am I about to die?"
"you……"
Yunniang probably wanted to laugh, but if a child saw her laugh when she looked so withered, they would probably be frightened to tears.
"Cough cough," Yunniang coughed again. Li's mother got up, took a cup of water from the table, and fed her to suppress the cough.
“Female doctors, you are all good people, you are very kind people,” Yunniang said to Li’s mother and Li Sanniang.
"I know I don't have much time left, and the only thing I can't let go of is my child."
"Mother!"
Dapeng immediately knelt down in front of the bed and cried out "Mother!" as if his mouth was filled with tears of blood.
Yunniang stretched out her right hand to stroke the top of Dapeng's head, but in the end she only gently stroked it. Yunniang still tried to smile. She turned to look at Li Sanniang, knowing that it was this female doctor who had just taken her pulse and examined her body.
"Female doctor, I won't be treated anymore. I don't have many days left to live, so there's no need to waste those precious medicinal herbs."
There's just one thing I can't let go of. I'm shamelessly begging you, could you please find good homes for my little sparrow and little goose?
"If it were possible to go to an orphanage, that would be fine too."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Dapeng suddenly looked up, his tears still wet on his cheeks, and cried out in a flustered voice, "Mother!"
I can raise sparrows and goslings without having to give them away!
Mother, I can raise them both!
"Dapeng!" Yunniang called out weakly, but the way she glared at Dapeng made him lower his head and say nothing more.
"Dapeng is the eldest son, but he is only fourteen years old and not yet an adult. It is already difficult for him to support himself."
"Female doctor, please, give the little sparrow and the little gosling a chance to live."
As they were talking, Yunniang, who was sitting up, wanted to get up and kneel on the bed. Li Sanniang and Li's mother exchanged a glance and quickly stopped Yunniang, telling her to lie down properly and rest first, and that they could talk about these things later.
Dapeng stayed inside to look after Yunniang, while Li's mother and Li Sanniang summoned Li's eldest sister-in-law and Li's second sister-in-law and told them about Yunniang.
"...That's how it is. Third Sister has already examined her illness. She looks like she's on her last legs and it's probably only a few days away."
"Tell me, give me some advice, what should I do with those two kids she mentioned?"
Second Sister-in-law Li glanced at First Sister-in-law Li and then lowered her head.
According to Li Ersao's thinking, "Isn't the best outcome to send the child to an orphanage?"
At least there you won't starve or freeze to death. Even though you won't have enough to eat and you'll have to work, at least you can survive.
After thinking for a moment, Sister-in-law Li said to Li's mother, "According to custom, children who have lost both parents and have no other relatives can only go to orphanages."
In the sales home, there is at least a bowl of porridge to eat every day, and a sheltered room to sleep in at night.
This person is capable of surviving.
But how could their eldest brother, the boy named Dapeng, possibly agree?
Even in poverty, he never abandoned his two younger siblings; he must be a very affectionate person.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Sister-in-law Li replied to Mother Li, "How about this? We already know how to find jobs for poor families, so let's find a job for young Dapeng that's closer to home so he can earn more rice and grain."
Talk to the people at the orphanage again and see if the two children can continue to live with Dapeng, but receive a little food every month.
I think the older one is about seven or eight years old. He can be good at gathering firewood or doing odd jobs.
"If they endure for five or six years, until the younger one grows up a bit, these three siblings should be able to survive."
