Chapter 224 Everyone, go to sleep early, goodnight.
Seeing Lin Shanshan's serious expression, Lin's father also became serious: "Nannan, tell me."
"Dad, I want to check on Gan Haixiu's condition again. I need to go to the ward today to see her. The surgery is scheduled for the day after tomorrow."
Mr. Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you and explain the pre-operative precautions."
Lin Shanshan took out two bottles of pills and said, "Dad, these are traditional Chinese medicines developed by Old Zhao. One can treat early-stage cancer, and the other can treat mid-to-late-stage cancer. I want to find some volunteer patients at the hospital to conduct clinical trials."
The Lin family are all doctors, and they were astonished by the news. Cancer mortality rates remain high, and many patients do not live for more than a few years even after surgery. How could a small bottle of pills be effective?
Lin Shanshan understood from the expressions on their faces that if the medicine didn't contain the spiritual spring water, it wouldn't be able to cure the disease. Now that the pills contained spiritual spring water and aconite, they were definitely a nemesis of cancer.
Gu Yiye trusted his young wife completely. Before Lin Shanshan could speak, he said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I believe in Shanshan. Besides, this medicine was prepared by Doctor Zhao. Dad, you can rest assured."
"Even if you have doubts about the efficacy of the medicine, you certainly know the character of Mr. Zhao and Shanshan, so the medicine is absolutely safe."
Gu Yiye's meaning was very clear: even if Lin's father didn't believe that the medicine could be so miraculous, Old Zhao and his daughter would never take the patient's life lightly.
"Okay, I'll go contact the patient. Nannan, did you bring the consent form?"
Lin Shanshan nodded hurriedly: "Dad, I brought it."
After the meal, Gu Yiye returned to his unit, while Lin Shanshan and her father went to Gan Haixiu's hospital room.
Inside the ward, Gan Haixiu was taking a nap, while Xiong Jianguo was dozing off on the hospital bed.
Lin Shanshan didn't want to disturb them. Fang Zheng was at the hospital all afternoon and was about to go to the cancer department with his father when suddenly, a plump woman in her sixties rushed into the ward.
"Xiong Jianguo, oh my god!"
"Xiong Jianguo, how can you still be sleeping? The house has been completely emptied! Get up!"
The plump auntie is quite old, but her voice is full of energy. It's clear she's in excellent health.
Xiong Jianguo and Gan Haixiu both woke up. Half asleep, they heard Aunt Pang shout that the house was empty. Xiong Jianguo immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Aunt Pang, whose house is empty?"
"You should go back and check on your family," Aunt Pang urged.
Gan Haixiu had already brought her bankbook to the hospital to pay for the hospital fees. She was calmer than Xiong Jianguo and asked, "Auntie Pang, has our house been robbed?"
If you've already attracted thieves, there's not much point in going back now; you might as well just call the police.
The plump auntie, known for her outspokenness, spat and said, somewhat indignant on Gan Haizhu's behalf, "It's alright that she was robbed; we neighbors can help catch the thief."
"Helping your family with those two ungrateful wretches, Xiong Da and Xiong Er. Gan Haixiu, I'm not trying to criticize you, but a kind person is easily taken advantage of. Now that you have no one left in your family, you need to stand up for yourself even more."
Over the years, Aunt Pang, who was a neighbor, knew Gan Haixiu well. She was truly virtuous and capable, earned a high salary, and was good to Xiong Jianguo's two sons. Year after year, day after day, she contributed to the Xiong family.
In the end, he was hospitalized, and not only did his son not care, he even took advantage of the situation to steal things.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jianguo felt both embarrassed and guilty. He wasn't a strong-willed person, and when he heard that his son was moving, he didn't know what to do. He had originally stood up to go home and catch the thief, but he slumped back down on the bench in despair.
The plump auntie silently rolled her eyes. This man was truly unworthy of Gan Haixiu. If Gan Haixiu hadn't been infertile and their engagement broken off back then, Xiong Jianguo would never have had a chance.
However, Xiong Jianguo was genuinely good to Gan Haixiu.
Lin's father and Lin Shanshan stood outside the door, listening to the conversation inside. It was none of her business to interfere in other people's family affairs.
Previously, Li Duomei was a friend, but Gan Haixiu is a patient. Lin Shanshan still has this sense of boundaries.
Just as Gan Haixiu was wondering whether to call the police, Xiong Da and Xiong Er entered the ward one after the other.
Xiong Da said in a rough voice, "Dad, Mom, since you insist on having the surgery, let's divide the inheritance first!"
“We just went to your house and divided up the appliances and furniture, but we can’t find the bankbook. Did you hide it?”
Xiong Da acted arrogantly, as if the old couple's property had to be given to the two brothers. Besides, they were still alive, yet he was already talking about inheritance!
His shamelessness left even the other patients in the ward speechless.
The plump aunt seemed unfazed, looking at Gan Haixiu and Xiong Jianguo with a disappointed expression.
If the two of them hadn't spoiled Xiong Da and Xiong Er so much since they were little, would things be like this today?!
There's an old Chinese saying: "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
Xiong Er followed closely behind, his tone much better than Xiong Da's, but his words were even more malicious: "Mom, I know, it's because we're not your biological sons that you want surgery, making things difficult for all of us."
“If you were our biological mother, you would definitely think about us. If you didn’t have the surgery, you could live a few more years, and your retirement pension would be equivalent to the combined salaries of my wife and me.”
"If it's her biological mother, she'll always be thinking about how to help her son and how to make sure he has a good life."
“If you have surgery and don’t make it off the operating table, that’s fine. We can just send you straight to the crematorium and be done with it. But if you’re half-dead, you’ll be a burden on your dad to take care of you.”
Xiong Er kept talking, and Gan Haixiu felt pain in her heart as she listened. Over the years, hadn't she given enough for the two Xiong brothers?
In the end, this is how it ended.
Gan Haixiu closed her eyes in despair. She was too weak to argue. At the same time, she wanted to see how Xiong Jianguo would handle the situation after being pushed to this point by Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
