The village chief wiped the tears from his face and said in a deep voice, "Everyone is afraid of cancer! I'm afraid too! You're afraid too, and I understand, but isn't the question now about how to cure our disease? Aren't you afraid of death? We've lived for decades, and we can die in an instant. But what about our sons and grandsons? Do you want to end our lineage?"
For the villagers, the threat of having no descendants is much stronger than any other.
For a moment, an atmosphere of sadness enveloped the hearts of every villager.
With the village chief's reminder, they really thought of the strange things that had happened in the village in the past two years.
Originally, a chemical plant was built, and men went to work there while women stayed at home to farm and raise children.
Everyone's life is prosperous and thriving.
Everyone is looking forward to saving some money in a few years to build that kind of big blue brick and tile house!
But now…if we really get cancer, how will the family have the money to treat everyone?
"Village chief, I won't get treatment. I have cancer, but my grandson doesn't! I have to save the money for my grandson to get married."
"Village Chief, my family has no money, and we won't treat it. Let's just live like this!"
Money, money, money.
In this world, there is a disease called "poverty".
Faced with cancer and the threat of life and death, who among these people doesn't want to live a good life? But the problem is... where does the money for medical treatment come from?
I finally saved up some money, but after the illness, all the money was gone!
By then, you will lose both your money and your life. What’s the point?
It would be better to keep the money for your sons and grandsons to use when they get married in the future.
"What do you mean it can't be cured? We'll treat it." The village chief wiped his tears and said, "It's just cancer, why are you so scared? What are you afraid of? No matter how scary it is, it's not as scary as when the Japanese invaded the village? No matter how scary it is, it's not as scary as when we had no food to eat. Our generation has gone through so many hard times. Now that we see that life is getting better, we have to show our spirit and energy. Even if the King of Hell wants to take our lives, we will fight to survive and live well, and live like a human being!"
The villagers all looked sad.
The shadow of death follows you everywhere.
Everyone's face has lost the hope of life.
When Ye Linlang saw these simple faces, deep down in her heart, she hated what Su Jian had done.
If the chemical plant had been built at that time and treated sewage according to national standards, such a terrible situation would never have happened.
"Fellow villagers, all your medical expenses will be covered by our group."
Before Ye Linlang could say anything, Old Master Li said this.
The villagers all looked at Mr. Li. Overnight, Mr. Li looked much older.
The hair looks like it is covered with white frost, which makes people feel distressed.
The village chief asked, "Who are you?"
Old Master Li was a man who would not shirk his responsibilities. He bowed deeply to all the villagers.
"Fellow villagers, I'm sorry, I'm the big boss of the group that owns this chemical plant."
The chemical plant was the first large enterprise in their village.
It is precisely because of the existence of the chemical plant that the villagers' family income has increased.
Ye Linlang looked at Mr. Li nervously. She knew that with Mr. Li's temper, he would never hide the truth.
"Fellow villagers, it's our chemical plant that's harming you!"
"The reason you're sick is because the chemical plant's wastewater isn't properly discharged, thus contaminating the groundwater, leading to..."
