Chapter 151 Chapter 151 Giving Up Treatment
When Ning Shaoxian found out that he had cancer, all he thought about was a good life in the future and how to cure his disease no matter what.
But he had no idea what kind of torture he would have to endure during the treatment process and how painful chemotherapy would be.
Even though the doctor told him this, he didn't take it to heart. He thought that he had experienced leg pain like that before, and no matter how painful it was, could it be worse than the pain that came out from the bones?
Facts have proved that there really is such a thing, making people unable to live nor die.
When Ning Shaoxian saw Zhao Ruyu and Ning Shaoming coming, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he rushed towards them.
Ning Shaoming saw that Ning Shaoxian was rushing towards Zhao Ruyue, so he took a step forward and protected Zhao Ruyue behind him to stop him: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Ning Shaoxian tightly grasped Ning Shaoming's arm: "Third brother, please help me! I really can't bear it anymore. Isn't the third brother's wife's uncle a very good old Chinese doctor? I won't be treated in the hospital anymore. I will go back to my hometown and let him treat me. I would rather drink bitter medicine than suffer in the hospital! You don't know, it's uncomfortable and scary to be treated here. It's better for me to die!"
Ning Shaoxian couldn't bear it after only one chemotherapy session and just wanted to go home.
He was worried that his family would not agree, so he started to make a scene. He thought that if he made a big scene, the hospital and his family would not be able to stand him anymore, and then he would be able to go back.
After hearing what he said, everyone present didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ning Shaoming didn't really want to cause trouble for his wife's uncle, not to mention that his brother was already in the late stage of cancer and it would take a miracle to cure him.
Don’t let his health get worse and worse, and he go around saying bad things about his wife’s uncle and ruin the old man’s reputation.
Ning Shaoming didn't dare to trust his elder brother's character.
He didn't dare to agree outright, and only said vaguely: "My wife's uncle has never treated this disease, and I don't know if he can treat it. I can only ask him for you when I go back. If he can't do it, I will find another Chinese medicine doctor for you."
Ning Shichun saw his father was making a scene, so he and Ning Danping came up to pull him away: "Dad, don't get so excited."
"How can I not be excited? You are not the ones who are suffering, yet you are standing here and making sarcastic remarks!" Ning Shaoxian glared at them with red eyes, "I want to go home! Did you hear me? I want to go home!"
"I heard it, let's go talk to the doctor first." Ning Shichun was helpless. Staying in the hospital for treatment might only prolong his life, but it was not known how long it could prolong his life. Even the doctors and experts in the hospital could not guarantee this.
Since he feels so miserable, then he can go back if he wants to. At least he will suffer less in his last days.
But the condition becomes more serious as time goes by. It is impossible to not suffer at all before dying of this disease. The doctor said that even painkillers may not be effective in the later stages.
Ning Shichun said that he would go to consult a doctor first, but in fact, he, Ning Danping and Wang Haiyan just went out to discuss whether to take him back and what to do after returning.
After all, discharging him from the hospital and taking him back home would be equivalent to giving up treatment and waiting to die. As family members, they must discuss it carefully first.
After the discussion, he went to see the doctor and proposed to be discharged from the hospital. He asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, bought the medicine, completed the discharge procedures, and took Ning Shaoxian back home.
It just so happened that Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue came by car and drove directly back to the town.
The things they brought to visit Ning Shaoxian were also brought to his house. After putting down the things, they had nothing much to talk about with Ning Shaoxian. They gave the money for visiting relatives to Ning Shichun, and then left and went next door to see Ning Da and Huang Xiuhua.
Huang Xiuhua is still the same, but compared to the time when she was tired and sunburned doing farm work, with a pale and skinny face, she now moves less every day, eats better, and looks much whiter and plumper than before.
Sometimes she couldn't control her urine and feces, but Ning Da took good care of her and was able to move her. Sometimes Ning Meiting would come to give her a bath. She didn't have any odor on her body, and she was dressed neatly and didn't have bedsores or anything like that.
It’s just that she is confused and she doesn’t know whether she is living a good life or not.
Occasionally they came back to visit her and Ning Da. She seemed to be lucid at times. She would look at Ning Shaoming and call him son, but she didn't know which son he was calling.
Anyway, Ning Shaoming himself didn't have much expectation for her. After all, she was his biological mother. People say that the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the elderly, but Ning Shaoming, the youngest son, had never been favored.
Even the maternal love he received was not shared equally among his brothers and sisters. Instead, it was given to his second oldest brother first, and his mother gave him some of the remaining love. In the past, he had to give up his own interests many times.
They are biological mother and son, and Ning Shaoming, the son, was raised by her. It is impossible for him not to care about him at all.
He privately told Zhao Ruyue with a hint of sourness: "My mother is probably calling me second brother every time."
Unfortunately, her second son rarely came back to visit her throughout the year. It was considered too much to see her two or three times a year, and sometimes he only saw her once during the Chinese New Year.
Ning Shaoming thought so because when Ning Shiqiu came back to visit the two old people, his mother seemed to be in a state of being a little sober and she knew to call "Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu". It can be seen that sometimes it is not necessarily impossible to recognize who is who.
When she saw Ning Shiqiu, she looked around for some candy for him, but there was nothing in her pocket.
Ning Da was afraid that if she wasn't paying attention she might choke on the candy she was eating, so she didn't allow her to put anything in her pockets.
She even knew to glare at Ning Shixia.
Ning Shaoming heard from his father that before the old lady fell ill, Ning Shixia would always ask her for pocket money whenever she caught her nagging.
She scolded me every time, but gave me the money every time.
Ning Shaoming did not tell Ning Da how serious Ning Shaoxian's illness was. His father was also old, and his child had passed away before him. He might not be able to bear the thought of an old man seeing his child die.
Ning Da also thought it was just a benign tumor. The older generation believed in traditional Chinese medicine. When he heard Ning Shaoxian say how uncomfortable and scary it was to be treated in the hospital, he agreed with Ning Shaoxian's decision to go home.
Ning Da said to Ning Shaoming, "Please ask your eldest brother about your wife's uncle. Every doctor is good at treating different diseases. I know he is not good at this, but doctors always know a few colleagues. Maybe he knows a doctor who is good at treating this disease."
Ning Shaoming agreed: "Okay, I'll go ask later."
Ning Da reminded him again: "Remember to bring something with you. Don't go empty-handed just because you are a relative. Don't pay for it yourself. Let Xiaochun pay for it. Your eldest brother is in this state now. Xiaochun should also take care of their family affairs."
After he finished speaking, he paused, feeling that what he said next was in vain, as Xiaochun had already taken care of the family.
Since the town was transformed into a tourist town, many people are unable to build houses, so they take their money to the county town to buy commercial housing for their children. The parents also pay for their children's marriages.
Xiaochun found his partner on his own, paid for his marriage himself, and borrowed money from the third brother to buy a house, which he also paid back himself.
The eldest brother got involved in all these things, didn't spend a penny, and still made trouble to make the children angry. You said you can't help the children, so can you just stay put and not hold them back?
Ning Da was really tired of scolding him, and now he felt tired just seeing him.
Ning Shaoming said: "Don't worry, Xiaochun will go with me then."
"That's good. You should guide him through these social etiquettes. I, your eldest brother, don't count on him. Just don't let him cause any more trouble."
When Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue drove back, they took Ning Shichun with them. On the way, they first stopped by their own home to pick up some gifts and the medicinal herbs that Zhao Ruyue had asked others to collect for her third uncle, and then they took a detour to the home of Zhao Ruyue's third uncle.
Ning Shichun felt embarrassed. His grandfather had originally asked him to pay for the gifts, but anything he bought at the last minute would definitely not be as good as the ones at his third uncle's house.
Giving money would seem too polite, and my uncle and aunt would definitely not accept it.
Ning Shichun had no choice but to thank his uncle and aunt first, then keep this matter in mind and ask his wife what should be done best when he returns home.
The three people went there with Ning Shaoxian's medical records, asked the old man to take a look at the records first, and asked him if there was any way to alleviate his symptoms, and whether he could hope to cure it.
By the way, I also told him about Ning Shaoxian's condition. If Ning Shaoxian comes to see a doctor in the future, please ask him to help keep it a secret. After all, Ning Shaoxian doesn't know his condition yet and thinks it is a benign tumor.
After reading Ning Shaoxian's medical records, Zhao Ruyue's uncle asked Ning Shichun, "Did you get any medicine from the hospital?"
Ning Shichun nodded: "Yes, but my father is not willing to take the medicine prescribed by the hospital. He always thinks that the medicine in the hospital is not good and will harm him."
He didn't feel bad about paying for his father's hospitalization, medical treatment, and medicine, but dealing with these problems for his father was a real headache.
It was he who shouted that he wanted to go to the provincial capital for treatment. It was also he who did not trust the hospital, the doctors, and did not follow the doctors' advice!
As an old doctor with many years of practice, Zhao Ruyue's uncle was used to this kind of thing. "Go back and tell him to take the medicine in the hospital and go for a follow-up check-up. Then come back to me after the check-up. Otherwise, I won't see him."
When Ning Shichun heard his words, he knew that he agreed to help, and he quickly agreed.
With this old doctor around, his father will probably be quieter when he returns home.
After returning, Ning Shichun told Ning Shaoxian what the old doctor had said, and Ning Shaoxian indeed became more honest.
He seemed to know that he now had to rely on others for care, and he didn't dare to be as arrogant towards Wang Haiyan as before.
Wang Haiyan turned things around and became the one who had the final say at home, of course, on the premise that there were only the two of them at home.
Ning Shichun did not stay in the town for long. He was under a lot of pressure and wanted to open a shop to make money tomorrow. So he followed Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming back to the county town that night.
When he returned to his home in the county town, it was already evening. Sun Jiajia had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him at home.
Ning Shichun washed his hands and face, and told her what happened today while eating.
After that, he asked Sun Jiajia: "What do you think we should give to Uncle and Aunt? It seems that Uncle and Aunt lack nothing. The things I can think of don't seem appropriate as a gift."
Sun Jiajia said, "You also said that Third Uncle and Third Aunt don't need anything. When we send them things, they worry that we are spending too much money. Why don't we buy something for Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia? It will be much easier to buy for them. If we treat Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia well, Third Uncle and Third Aunt will be happier."
"Yes, but what should they buy? Even if they have good grades, they don't need the popular learning machines. How about branded clothes or shoes? I see that many children and young people nowadays are particular about wearing branded goods."
Sun Jiajia looked at him helplessly: "Do you think that Third Uncle and Third Aunt's family care about these things? Instead of spending the money on brand-name clothes and shoes, you might as well just buy a small gold bar, or make a small gold ornament for them according to their zodiac signs. Gold can also appreciate in value. The ones you bought for me before can no longer be bought at the previous price. The price has doubled!"
"Double the price!" Ning Shichun was shocked.
Before they got married, Sun Jiajia was afraid that her salary would be snatched away by her parents, so she gave all her salary to him. He would always add a little to it and buy small gold bars or gold jewelry for her.
Later, when she opened a shop with him, Sun Jiajia stopped asking for salary.
At that time, her parents tacitly assumed that she had already married Ning Shichun. Although they were not married yet, she was still considered the daughter-in-law of the Ning family.
Now that Sun Jiajia had a backer and her attitude towards them was relatively tough, they no longer dared to covet her money.
The person who managed the money in the store and at home changed from Ning Shichun to Sun Jiajia. From that time on, Ning Shichun never bought any gold jewelry again, and of course he no longer paid much attention to the price of gold.
If his father hadn't been sick and needed money, he probably wouldn't have known how much his family had.
He even thought that his family had not repaid the money they borrowed from Uncle San.
In fact, I paid it off a long time ago and saved up quite a bit of savings.
If what happened to his father had not happened, Sun Jiajia had already planned to let him learn to drive and then buy him a van for traveling and hauling goods.
"Yes, it has doubled in price. My aunt and I both bought quite a lot. Please don't tell anyone. It won't be good if others know."
"I understand. Let's buy that for Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia on their birthdays."
On the other side, Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue returned home. The children were playing games in the room. They sat in the living room with only a small light on, sitting on the sofa tiredly, and no one spoke.
They are not physically tired. As long as they are not busy all day long, their bodies will not be easily tired. Now they are mentally tired.
Ning Shaoming thought about his own family. He had four brothers and sisters. One was almost dying of illness, and one almost became like his mother. Only he and his sister seemed to be fine now.
But no one can predict what will happen in the future. No wonder Zhao Ruyue is so worried about his physical condition. Such situations rarely happen in her family.
Ning Shaoming now only hopes that his two children will inherit more from his wife's side, but will never inherit the problems from his side of the family.
After a long silence, Ning Shaoming said, "I'll persuade elder sister to go for a regular physical examination every year someday."
"The elderly at home should also have regular physical examinations." Zhao Ruyue had wanted to bring this up before, but people nowadays may not be willing to go to the hospital when they are sick, let alone go for a physical examination when there is no obvious disease in their body?
If a disease is revealed during a physical examination, people might blame the examination, thinking that the problem was revealed by the examination and that there wouldn't be so many problems if they hadn't had the examination.
The Ning family’s matter can also be regarded as an opportunity to suggest taking the elderly for a physical examination.
In addition to worrying about Ning Shaoming, Zhao Ruyue was also worried about her father. Her mother was relatively long-lived, but her father passed away too early in his previous life, even earlier than Huang Xiuhua, who was unable to take care of herself.
I think her family's living conditions are better now, so her father doesn't have to work so hard. If he has regular physical examinations every year and treats any minor ailments, he should be able to live longer.
Zhao Ruyue planned this way. After a while, after sending a group of employees who had been trained at the Yunshan County head office to the provincial capital, she had some free time and her children did not have to go to the city to attend interest classes.
She drove back to town with her child and took her child with her to persuade the elderly from both families to go for a physical examination.
The three old people felt that a physical examination was unnecessary, just as she had guessed. However, with the Ning family's sudden illness as a living example, they hesitated.
With her two children persuading them, the three elderly people agreed reluctantly.
Zhao Ruyue did not give them a chance to regret, and the next day she took them to the provincial capital for inspection.
After the examination, Zhao Ruyue felt relieved to find that the three elderly people had no other problems except for some minor ailments.
I took her parents to my sister's store to take a look.
Zhao Ruyuan's shop is now doing very prosperous business. There are too many customers and the couple can't handle it. They hired two employees to help. Lin Cairou also comes to the shop to help after class and finishing her homework, and they are barely able to cope.
Seeing Zhao Ruyue coming with her parents, Zhao Ruyuan wanted to entertain them well, but the guests kept urging her, so she could only say a few words to them and then hurried to entertain them.
Instead, it was Zhao Ruyue and a few others who came to help temporarily for a while. After the busiest period was over, Zhao Ruyuan and Lin Guohao were able to sit down and talk to them properly, and even made a few plates of crayfish for them to taste.
They had almost finished eating and were about to leave.
Zhao Ruyuan called Zhao Ruyue into the room and said, "Sister, Cairou said she wants you to take something back to Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia. Come in with me and get it."
Zhao Ruyue was talking to Lin Cairou and noticed that Lin Cairou was confused for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said nothing.
She understood that it was probably an excuse her sister made up because she had something to say to her in private.
