Tai'an, you go home first. Mo Ting will ride his bicycle over in a bit. You guys go back and rest first. I don't know when I'll be back.
Dr. Huang carried his medicine kit to Old Su's house. The moon was hanging in the sky, and the moonlight made it easy to see the road on the ground.
When Dr. Huang arrived, Su's father had already carried the old man back to his room because the cart still needed to be returned to the brigade's tool shed.
"Guomin," Dr. Huang called out, but Su's father, who had his back turned, didn't see Dr. Huang enter. Hearing his name called, Su's father turned around.
Uncle Huang, you're back. Have you eaten yet? My dad is in his room. I just got back from the town hospital.
Oh, you took him to the town hospital? What did the doctor say? Su Wenye didn't say, so Dr. Huang thought it was something that just happened.
The doctor said it was a stroke causing hemiplegia, and further examination would require going to the city hospital. My mother and older brother suggested bringing him home to have you examine him.
Dr. Huang didn't expect it to be a stroke either. I'll go take a look first! We'll talk about it after I've seen him.
Father Su carried a kerosene lamp to light the way for Doctor Huang to enter the room. Doctor Huang examined Old Man Su, then took his hand to feel his pulse.
Dr. Huang put down his hand and said to the first few people, "Let's go outside and talk!" Once they were in the main hall of the house, Dr. Huang began to explain Old Man Su's condition.
He suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed on one side. It's been delayed for too long, and the optimal treatment window has been missed. He has right-sided paralysis of his arm, leg, and body; the right corner of his mouth is crooked to one side, and his face is also paralyzed on the right side. Now, all I can do is administer acupuncture to try and save his life.
Of course, if you don't give up, you can go to the city hospital or the Beijing General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army for a brain examination, but if surgery is needed, the cost will be very high. And there's no guarantee of recovery after surgery.
You can decide for yourselves. I'll give him acupuncture first. After giving Old Man Su acupuncture, Doctor Huang wrote out a prescription for Old Man Su and told him to go to the herbal medicine shop in town tomorrow to pick up the medicine.
Father Su took Doctor Huang back home and returned to the Su family home, preparing to push his cart to return the doctor. The eldest son of the Su family called out to Father Su.
Second brother, Dad is in this state now, he needs someone to take care of him and he needs money for medical treatment. What do you plan to do? The eldest brother was thinking of getting some money from the second brother so that the second brother's wife could take care of their father.
"Brother, what do you want to do? How do you want to handle this?" Su's father felt bewildered. Uncle Huang had already made it so clear: if you have money, go for a checkup and surgery; if you don't, this is what happens.
Second son, you are also your father's son. Now that your father is like this, you must also shoulder your responsibilities as a son. You need to give some money for your father's medical treatment, and also ask your wife to come and take care of him.
"Hehe," Su's father laughed helplessly. "Shameless people and greedy people are always shameless and always want to gain some advantage."
I paid for the doctor's visit at the town hospital today, and I also paid for Uncle Huang's house call earlier. Are you planning to take Dad to the Beijing General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army for examination and treatment?
If that's the case, then you go ahead, and I'll split the cost with you. Besides, if you're not completely out of your mind, you wouldn't even suggest asking my wife to take care of Dad.
A daughter-in-law coming to take care of her paralyzed father-in-law? Do you want my daughter-in-law to be drowned in the villagers' gossip? I just feel like you can't stand to see my family of three doing well.
The division agreement is very clear. I don't want to argue with you endlessly. Just follow the agreement. Don't think you're so smart and everyone else is a fool.
After saying this, Su's father pushed the cart and walked out of the old Su family home without looking back. He left the eldest son, dumbfounded, mouth agape, unable to utter a word.
