Chapter 226 All Donated
Shameless and brazen!
Because Gan Haixiu has no bloodline of her own, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, after a brief period of panic, began to be smug again!
Lin Shanshan felt heartbroken and shameless. If she were Gan Haixiu, she would have donated all her property rather than give it to these two ungrateful wretches.
Xiong Er's voice wasn't loud, but it certainly wasn't quiet either. He might have been speaking on purpose so that the two elders could hear him.
Xiong Jianguo was so angry that he could only stare blankly, unable to catch his breath, and coughed violently.
Gan Haixiu quickly tried to soothe him, speaking softly, "Old Xiong, don't be angry. After we pass away, we'll donate the money to the hospital, to those who are sick but can't afford money."
Xiong Jianguo stopped coughing and asked, "Xiuer, have you thought it through?"
Xiong Jianguo's salary used to be lower than Gan Haixiu's, and his pension is still lower than hers. Over the years, if it weren't for Gan Haixiu, his salary alone wouldn't have been enough to support his family of four. He wouldn't object if Gan Haixiu said she wanted to donate money.
Gan Haixiu nodded and said calmly, "I don't want the surgery paid for. I've received a favor from someone, and I want to pass on that kindness. It may not be much, but it's my way of showing my appreciation."
Xiong Da and Xiong Er were truly dumbfounded. They stood in the ward like wooden chickens, and without the support of their parents, they probably wouldn't be able to work anymore.
The couple has been living off their parents, lacking motivation at work, and hasn't made any progress or received any salary increases over the years. Now they have children to support; how can they survive on their meager salaries?
Xiong Da and Xiong Er were about to beg for mercy and try to change Gan Haixiu's mind, but Xiong Jianguo interrupted them and said, "You two should sign this."
While they were still in a daze, Xiong Jianguo had already written the severance agreement, which clearly stated that Xiong Da and Xiong Er were not required to support their parents or take their money.
The two remained motionless, hoping there was still room for maneuver.
After making up his mind today, Xiong Jianguo, like a real man, said sternly, "Sign it now, or I'll call the police."
The two brothers reluctantly wrote down their names, dejectedly left the ward, and prepared to return the belongings to their rightful owner.
With the dust settled, Auntie Pang prepared to go home: "Haixiu, get some rest. I need to go back and prepare dinner for my husband."
"Thank you so much, Auntie Pang. I'll treat you to a meal after I'm discharged from the hospital," Gan Haixiu said gratefully.
The plump auntie smiled like a Buddha: "Okay, you should take good care of your health. I'll be waiting."
With the departure of the plump aunt, the ward returned to tranquility.
After watching the play, Lin Shanshan started talking about serious business with Gan Haixiu: "The surgery is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Make sure you get plenty of rest today and tomorrow, and try to keep a peaceful mindset."
Gan Haixiu nodded, thanked her again, and even said understandingly, "Young lady, Dean Lin, please don't feel pressured. I know I'm the first case in the country. If I fail, I won't blame anyone. It's my fate, and I can't blame anyone else. But if I succeed, I'll really have gained something. Not only will I have survived, but I'll also become famous all over the world."
The first successful artificial heart transplant will not only make Mr. Tong, who developed the artificial heart, and Mr. Lin, who performed the surgery, famous throughout history, but the first patient who had the courage to undergo the surgery will also be recorded in history.
Lin Shanshan wondered if Gan Haixiu, such a perceptive person, would have lived a better life in the 21st century!
As much as we lament, there are hardly any "what ifs" in this world.
Before leaving, Lin Shanshan quoted Nietzsche to Gan Haixiu: "Every day you don't dance is a day you betray life."
Lin Shanshan believes that with the all-out efforts of Mr. Tong and her father, the surgery will definitely be successful.
May Gan Haixiu dance freely every day in the future, get rid of her two ungrateful adopted sons, and have a better life ahead!
After leaving the cardiology department, Lin's father took Lin Shanshan to various cancer departments. After an afternoon of discussions, they identified five early-stage cancer patients and 13 mid-to-late-stage cancer patients for drug trials.
Mr. Lin said, "I didn't expect that there would be more patients in the middle and late stages than in the early stages. The hospital clearly has more patients in the early stages than in the middle and late stages."
Lin Shanshan could understand, saying, "Humans are creatures that weigh the pros and cons. Early-stage patients feel they have a long life ahead of them and don't want to be guinea pigs. What if the medicine doesn't work and they have to risk their lives?"
"Patients in the middle and late stages feel that they don't have much time left, so they might as well try anything, even if it's a desperate gamble."
Lin's father nodded in agreement.
It was already 6 o'clock when Gu Yiye arrived as promised. He greeted Lin's father first: "Dad, I've come to pick up Shanshan."
Mr. Lin said, "Okay, drive carefully on the road. Your mother made shrimp wontons for you. She should be coming down soon. Wait a bit."
Lin Shanshan took her father's arm and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I haven't had wontons in a long time. I was just thinking about it, and Mom made some for me."
"I knew you had a sweet tooth, so Mom packed a lot for you, enough for you to eat." Lin's mother handed two large bags of wontons to Lin Shanshan.
"Here you go, along with some scallions and cilantro. Mom has washed them all for you. Just boil them and add some seasonings when you get home, and you can eat them."
Lin Shanshan then took her mother's arm and acted coquettishly for a while before returning to school with Gu Yiye.
For dinner, Gu Xiang cooked some wontons, and we also got some other dishes from the school. The three adults and one child were very satisfied with their meal.
