A hint of pity flashed across Zhang Cuizhi's eyes:
"Xiao Qi has no place to live?"
Song Rushuang nodded quickly:
"That's right. Not only do we have no place to live, we have no money either. Please be kind and plead for Xiao Qi in front of grandma."
Zhang Cuizhi really took Song Rushuang's words to heart.
Her attitude was not as firm as it was at the beginning.
No matter what, Song Rushuang must go down the mountain.
While Zhang Cuizhi was hesitating, Song Rushuang continued to speak:
"Aunt, you've always loved me the most. You definitely wouldn't want Xiao Qi to sleep on the streets, right?"
Zhang Cuizhi probably imagined the scene of Song Rushuang sleeping on the street, and then she shuddered all over.
She really couldn't accept it.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Cuizhi finally wavered:
"Okay, Auntie will help you talk to grandma. Xiaoqi is not feeling bad!"
Song Rushuang nodded quickly and forced a flattering smile:
"Yes, Xiaoqi is waiting for your good news!"
When Zhang Cuizhi went to see Old Lady Song, she happened to be feeding the old man medicine.
Mr. Song is now at the end of his strength.
If you take a mouthful of medicine, you should spit out 80% of it.
They were no longer young and inexperienced, so they all knew that the old man's condition was unlikely to improve.
This is also the reason why Song Rushuang was not allowed to interfere.
Mr. and Mrs. Song have been married for decades and have taken him to many hospitals, big and small.
Almost all doctors give the same answer.
Advanced liver cancer.
Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, even if they are the best doctors in the world, they are not immortals who can bring the dead back to life.
"mother."
Zhang Cuizhi shouted from the corridor.
The old man's condition is getting worse and worse.
It also made everyone panic.
Knowing the truth is one thing, but seeing someone getting thinner and thinner with your own eyes is another thing entirely.
Old Lady Song asked, "Why was he sent down the mountain so quickly?"
Zhang Cuizhi suddenly felt guilty. After hesitating for a while, she told Old Lady Song exactly what Song Rushuang had said.
Finally, before the old lady could say anything, she asked with some concern:
"Mother, Xiaoqi is still a child after all. If you ask her to go down the mountain, where else can she go?"
"My dear wife, do you really think so? Can you trust everything that child says?"
Zhang Cuizhi was stunned for a moment. She hesitated a little, but still responded:
"Are you saying that this child is deliberately playing misery in front of me?"
Old Mrs. Song probably also thought of the scene where Song Rushuang talked nonsense in front of Zhang Cuizhi.
So, she laughed out loud.
"That girl has always been quirky. She's always had the most ideas since she was little. She's been able to lead her family in business since she was little. Do you really believe that she'll have to sleep under a bridge after she leaves the mountain?"
After the old lady's advice, Zhang Cuizhi suddenly came to her senses.
I was almost fooled by Xiaoqi.
It can be seen that the child knows her too well and is sure that she will be soft-hearted.
"Alright, let this little brat get down the mountain quickly. Listen to your mother and don't give her another chance to speak. Otherwise, you'll be fooled by her again."
Zhang Cuizhi nodded.
She really should listen to Old Lady Song.
However, Zhang Cuizhi just nodded, but did not move her feet.
Old Mrs. Song only needed to take a glance to tell that Zhang Cuizhi might have something else to say.
She followed Zhang Cuizhi's line of sight, passed her, and landed on Old Master Song behind her.
Old Mrs. Song’s mind was as clear as a mirror.
Thinking about what she wanted to say, it was probably related to the old man.
The smile on Old Mrs. Song's face faded a little.
She suddenly realized what made her little granddaughter so outstanding.
Although Zhang Cuizhi knew that she had fallen into Song Rushuang's trap.
I could have stood out.
But now it seems that she is still influenced by Song Rushuang's thinking.
Old Mrs. Song glanced at Old Man Song. She didn't know when he had fallen into a deep sleep.
She felt much more at ease and then walked to Zhang Cuizhi.
"What's wrong? But is there anything you want to say?"
There was a struggle in Zhang Cuizhi's eyes. After all, she was kind-hearted, otherwise Song Rushuang would not have picked on her alone to pull her hair out.
"Mom, Dad's situation is getting worse and worse. Since Xiaoqi said there is a way, then..."
What if the treatment isn't life-threatening?
Before she could finish what she wanted to say, she was stopped by Old Lady Song:
"Cuizhi, Xiaoqi is an ignorant child, why do you say such things?"
Zhang Cuizhi's face suddenly turned pale.
She looked at Old Lady Song somewhat helplessly.
In essence, Old Lady Song didn't want to lose her temper with her.
"Cuizhi, do you know what your father-in-law's illness is?"
At the beginning, it was Old Mrs. Song who took Old Mr. Song to see a doctor alone, so although everyone knew that it was very serious, they were not very clear about what the specific disease was.
Zhang Cuizhi shook her head slowly. She looked at Old Lady Song and knew in her heart that the reason the old lady asked this was because it was a sign that she was about to tell her something.
"Advanced liver cancer."
Zhang Cuizhi only felt that her eyes went dark, her body swayed, and she almost fell down.
Even though they were farmers who knew nothing, they knew clearly what the words "cancer" and "late-stage" meant.
Represents despair.
This far exceeded Zhang Cuizhi's expectations.
It was Old Lady Song who supported her, then lowered her voice and continued to speak to her:
"Cuizhi, we've been mother and daughter for so many years, and you know how much I miss Xiaoqi. Tell me, if Xiaoqi wants to intervene, what should we do?"
Zhang Cuizhi was speechless after being asked this question.
Old Madam Song silently withdrew her gaze:
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Xiao Qi almost died trying to save her mother. If it weren't for Master Hui Kong, the child would have disappeared long ago. So, there's no way to cure her."
After a pause, the old lady finally spoke with difficulty:
"It's just a life for a life."
Zhang Cuizhi suddenly looked up at Old Lady Song.
She suddenly realized that the old lady had made these things clear to her long ago.
It’s no wonder that she thought so much about Song Rushuang on a daily basis, but when the child really stood in front of her, she was extremely cold.
Old Lady Song held Zhang Cuizhi's hand and said to her sincerely:
"Cuizhi, Xiaoqi is a very affectionate child. If we leave her in the cave, she will do everything she can to save her grandfather. All our arrangements will be wrong."
As she spoke, Old Lady Song's voice began to choke up:
"I know it's difficult. Otherwise, an old woman like me wouldn't have refused to see her. But for the sake of this child, Cuizhi, you have to help your mother and your father."
