Tang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. "That's right! Huoxiang Zheng is even worse than Huanglian. We should teach these two little devils a lesson."
She winked at Tie Dan, who then picked up one in each hand. Tang Yuanyuan used a spoon to scoop out the meat pies, filling a bowl with meat pies and a small half-bowl with meat buns. The brother and sister's faces scrunched up, looking so miserable they questioned the meaning of life.
"If you eat random things on the mountain again, I'll make you drink this big bowl of water when you get back."
Tang Yuanyuan pointed to the large enamel basin in Ya Dan's hand. The brother and sister felt a chill run down their spines and shook their heads vigorously. They would never eat the insects from the mountain again; they were too bitter!
Three days later, Tie Dan took his two nephews to the hospital to get the results. Brother Niu and his wife, Brother Niu Er, went with them so that they could hear what the doctor had to say and believe it for themselves.
A thick stack of examination reports was placed in front of the doctor, the same doctor as before. After carefully reviewing them, his expression turned serious. Both Niu's and her family were on tenterhooks, fearing they would hear that they needed a kidney transplant.
"Take these two children out of here."
The doctor looked at Junjun and Zhuangzhuang with pity. The two children's bodies were basically beyond recovery, all because of their ignorant parents.
The two sisters-in-law felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They didn't dare to ask any questions. They were like tigers at home, but when they went out, they were more timid than cats, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Ya Dan took Jun Jun and Zhuang Zhuang out to play, and then the doctor slowly said, "Niu Zhuang Zhuang's condition is more serious. One of his kidneys has lost its function and must be surgically removed. Actually, if you adults were a little more observant, you would have noticed the abnormality in the child. This is not fat, it is edema. Can't you tell the difference between fat and edema?"
The doctor looked at him with reproach, saying he had never seen such careless parents. Even if they had come six months earlier, Zhuangzhuang's condition wouldn't be this bad; now it's beyond saving.
Sister-in-law Niu relaxed and was less panicked. It was because it wasn't her son who needed a kidney transplant, which meant that her son wasn't the most seriously injured. When you're down on your luck, having someone even worse off can be a great comfort, and that's exactly how Sister-in-law Niu felt.
Sister-in-law Niu was devastated, unable to stand, and collapsed weakly onto Brother Niu. Brother Niu was a truly honest man, completely lost and flustered, unable to speak, staring blankly at the doctor, not knowing what to say.
Tie Dan was relatively calm. He was already mentally prepared, and it was only one of his nephews who needed a kidney transplant, which was much better than he had expected. At first, he thought that both of his nephews' kidneys were damaged, and Zhuang Zhuang only had one damaged kidney. Although the remaining kidney was not good, it was still better than both of them being damaged.
"How is Niu Junjun? What kind of treatment does he need?" Tie Dan asked.
"It requires long-term treatment. The medication cannot be stopped, and there will be regular check-ups every month. It's a long-term battle. It will require a long-term investment of both money and energy. Moreover, the diet must be strictly followed according to the menu. We can no longer be as careless as before. Parents, please be prepared." The doctor said, looking at Sister Niu with a stern gaze.
Sister-in-law Niu's smugness vanished instantly. She couldn't stop taking the medication and needed to have regular check-ups every month. How much would that cost?
"Doctor, how long will it take to cure?" Sister-in-law Niu wanted to know if it was life imprisonment or a fixed term; she hoped it would end in a year or two.
"As I just said, this is a long-term battle. Don't expect to cure it in a year or two. The harm you've done to the child isn't a matter of a year or two either, so it will be even more difficult to cure. Moreover, it will seriously affect the child's development, and their intelligence may also be affected."
