"But if we really get sick, we can find out and treat it early. Some minor illnesses will get worse if left untreated, and eventually we won't be able to treat them at all."
"Therefore, it's important to completely cure minor ailments when they are still minor!"
Therefore, Song Yongren still believes that the earlier the examination, the better.
“I know my own body. There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s just a minor ailment. There’s no need to go to the hospital for treatment.” Wu Jiang refused as always.
Song Yongren looked at Wu Jiang, whose face was somewhat pale, and couldn't help but shake his head, "How could your body be well? If your body were well, how could you be in pain?"
"Your body is in pain because there's something wrong with your body. Your body is giving you signals to tell you where the problem is. It's best to go to the hospital to get it checked out."
When only Wu Jiang, his wife Zheng Qiaozui, and Song Yongren remained in the room, Song Yongren sighed.
"If you're worried about money, you don't need to worry at all. We have money here. Take it and use it first. The most important thing is to get your health sorted out first."
Wu Jiang was deeply moved after hearing this. It is said that the friendship of helping others in times of need is the most precious, and what Song Yongren is doing now is exactly that.
However, Song Yongren did not think so. He only felt that he was repaying Wu Jiang for taking care of his family back then.
Back then, conditions were so harsh that no one had enough to eat.
If a family has some grain, they all secretly hide it, afraid that others will find out.
However, only this brother-in-law worried about his sister and nephew, and would occasionally use the family's grain to subsidize their family.
That's why their family persevered through hunger and now enjoys the life they have today.
Therefore, Song Yongren has always been grateful to his brother-in-law. Now that his family is in trouble, Song Yongren naturally cannot sit idly by.
Moreover, compared to the kindness shown to him back then, Song Yongren felt that this was not worth mentioning at all.
“You need to think about the children. If you keep enduring this now, what if one day you can’t take it anymore?”
"You should still go for a check-up back then. You might as well go for a check-up sooner rather than later. Maybe it's not a big problem and you can just take a few doses of medicine now."
"The longer you delay treatment, the worse it gets. Since you're going to get treatment anyway, why didn't you do it sooner?"
Wu Jiang was about to refuse when Song Yongren's words disrupted his resolve.
He may not care about himself, but Wu Jiang cannot be indifferent to his child.
He didn't want to cause trouble for the children, which is why he said he was fine.
But what if things are really as Song Yongren described?
If he can't hold on any longer, will he still have to go to the hospital?
Back then, the illness would definitely have been much more serious than it is now.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Jiang understood that the more serious his illness became, the more money he would spend. Wu Jiang hesitated, wondering whether he should go to the city for a checkup.
Wu Jiang's wife, who was listening nearby, was very sad the whole time.
Zheng Qiaozui tried countless times to persuade Wu Jiang not to be so stubborn and to go to the city with the children for a check-up.
But every time, those words would linger on my lips, I just couldn't say them.
Zheng Qiaozui knew what Wu Jiang was thinking and understood why he did this.
But she still felt sorry for Wu Jiang, the man she had been married to for decades.
Seeing him sweating profusely from the pain, my heart ached.
But I also feel sorry for the children, and feeling sorry for the children adds a lot of burden.
Both sides are equally dear to her, and Zheng Qiaozui simply cannot give up one side and choose the other, which is why she is constantly torn and in pain.
Hearing Song Yongren advising Wu Jiang, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Dad, why don't you go get checked out? Everyone will be at ease after you get checked out."
“If you don’t go now, the children will always be worried, and they won’t be able to live in peace.”
Right now, only Wu Huan, one of the children in the family, knows that Wu Jiang is sick; they haven't told the others and are keeping it a secret from them!
Wu Jiang is also wavering, and his attitude has lost its previous firmness; he is now starting to hesitate.
Seeing that Wu Jiang was wavering, Song Yongren immediately added fuel to the fire, "Go ahead, maybe you're really alright."
"Now that you've finished the checkup, you're at ease, aren't you?"
"Tell me, if you don't get checked out, the kids will think there's something wrong with your health. They'll definitely tell you to be careful and not let you do any work. Don't you think you'd be worried then?"
"Why don't you just go get checked out? If everything's fine, you can work openly and honestly, and the children won't have to worry. Wouldn't that be better?"
Wu Jiang's resolve wavered even further, and now, the scales in his heart had tipped in his favor.
But I'm still hesitant, I just can't make up my mind.
Zheng Qiaozui, who was standing next to her, burst into tears. "Just go, can't you just let me relax for a bit? If you don't go, I'll worry about you every day, and I won't be able to sleep at night anymore."
Wu Jiang was also touched when he saw Zheng Qiaozui crying.
They've been married for so many years, and Zheng Qiaozui rarely cries like this.
Zheng Qiaozui is a cheerful and straightforward person who is usually all smiles. It is rare to see her crying with such worry like this in Wujiang.
He also knew that he had worried his wife.
Finally, under the expectant gazes of Song Yongren and Zheng Qiaozui, Wu Jiang nodded somewhat helplessly, yet firmly.
"Alright. Since you've all said so, I'll go check it out."
Then he looked at Song Yongren and said in a very serious tone, "This time, I'll have to trouble you. I don't have much money at home, so I can only lend it to you first. I'll pay you back when I have more money later."
“That’s all fine. You should go get a medical check-up first. Don’t worry about the money. Construction can make money now. As long as she works, she’ll earn money.”
"Besides, Lili and Fangfang are both studying, so they can help out. Don't worry about the money, just use it with peace of mind."
Song Yongren really didn't care about money.
If it were when they were poor, he might have cared a little about money, but now that their family's quality of life has improved, he doesn't care about money as much anymore.
Moreover, this is my brother-in-law; even if I don't have the money, I should still scrape together some.
After being persuaded, Wu Jiang was eventually taken to the hospital for a check-up by Song Jianshe and Wu Huan.
Song Yongren and the others did not go with them; they stayed home and waited for news.
At that moment, Song Lili called.
Song Lili waited at home for news, but the next day, there was still no news from Song Jianshe.
Song Lili was extremely anxious and called home, but Song Jianshe didn't come; Xia Niu answered the phone.
