80. Mom, you won’t die
After Chen Yang woke up, the doctor diagnosed him as being fine.
Chen Long has not woken up yet, so the police want to take Chen Yang away first.
Before leaving, Chen Yang asked to see Xu Wenqiang. The police agreed, and Xu Wenqiang did not refuse. They met in the presence of the police.
In the large conference room, Chen Yang and Xu Wenqiang sat not far from each other. After they sat down, they remained silent for a long time. Finally, a police officer lost his patience, coughed twice, and urged, "If you have anything to say, just say it now."
Chen Yang remained silent. Xu Wenqiang was worried that Xu Yanmei was alone in the ward, so she asked, "Chen Yang, what do you want to tell me?"
Chen Yang then raised his head and looked at Xu Wenqiang, his eyes filled with death. "I heard that Xu Yanmei was dying, so I wanted to see if you were still alive."
Xu Wenqiang sneered, "Who are you listening to? Xu Yanmei is fine. And since you're not dead, of course I want to live too."
"Do the police also talk nonsense?" Chen Yang said indifferently, "They told me that I was suspected of intentional injury. The victim is not only my father, who is still in a coma, but also Xu Yanmei. She had a tumor in her brain and was not going to live long. After I hit her with a weight, her death was brought forward.
"As long as Xu Yanmei has the surgery, she'll live a long life." Xu Wenqiang looked at Chen Yang coldly, "Chen Yang, now's not the time to be stubborn. You should be praying that my mom is okay and that your dad wakes up soon."
"Xu Wenqiang, even now, are you still speaking for them?" Chen Yang suddenly raised his voice, his eyes reddening. "As parents, do they only live for themselves? Have they ever considered their own children?"
"Keep your voice down!" the policeman warned.
"What's wrong with being parents? What's wrong with them living only for themselves?" Xu Wenqiang stared at Chen Yang and asked, "They are your father, Chen Yang, and my mother, Xu Wenqiang. As parents, they raised us and have done their best. But don't forget, besides being parents, they are also Chen Long and Xu Yanmei, two living people. What makes you want to tie Chen Long and Xu Yanmei's lives to Chen Yang and Xu Wenqiang's?"
Xu Wenqiang had a calm expression on her face. Chen Yang looked at her with such hatred that he felt like gritting his teeth.
"Xu Wenqiang, don't talk to me about those useless things. As long as I'm alive, they can't get together."
Xu Wenqiang sighed when she heard this. "Chen Yang, you have to think more about yourself. Are you going to waste your life on your father and my mother? Do you think it's worth it to live in anger and hatred for them for the rest of your life, and to go to jail for them?"
Hearing the word "jail," Chen Yang was startled, but then he said fiercely, "Xu Wenqiang, don't act like you're on my side. Over the years, you and I have been fighting and cursing at each other. Do you think I'll listen to you just because you say a few nice words?"
"You'd better not listen to it," Xu Wenqiang said. "You almost killed me, so I don't have the heart to advise you. The only reason I agreed to see you and said all this to you is because of Aunt Lu."
"You still have the nerve to mention my mother?" Chen Yang slammed the table and stood up.
"Let's talk it over nicely." The policeman warned.
"I've said everything I wanted to say." Xu Wenqiang also stood up. "Chen Yang, you wanted to see me, and I did. I've said the last thing I wanted to say to you. From now on—"
Xu Wenqiang paused and said, "There is no future." Then she walked out.
"Xu Wenqiang." Chen Yang screamed behind him.
He saw her because he wanted to say sorry to her...
But Xu Wenqiang walked out without any pause.
When I returned to the ward, I happened to meet the doctor coming to check on me.
"Whether you want to have the surgery or not, make a decision as soon as possible."
The doctor was about to leave when Xu Yanmei spoke up, "I want to have surgery."
Xu Wenqiang cried out, "Mom, are you really going to have surgery?"
Xu Yanmei glanced at her and said, "Of course it's true."
Xu Wenqiang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it's true."
The doctor looked serious and said, "We will arrange the surgery as soon as possible. But surgery has risks, so you should be mentally prepared."
"We have to fight for it even if there are risks," said Xu Wenqiang.
"Anyway, I won't wait to die," said Xu Yanmei.
The doctor looked at the mother and daughter before him. Both of their eyes shone with a light of refusal to accept their fate. But the light was different. The mother's eyes were filled with a reckless savagery, while the daughter's eyes were filled with a stubborn vitality.
But when you work alone, where there is light there is shadow.
The surgery was scheduled for three days later.
Two nights before the surgery, Xu Yanmei told Xu Wenqiang, "There's a bank card in the nightstand in my room, and another one under my bed. Go home and get both cards. Use one to pay for the surgery, and use the other one for yourself. The passwords are both XXXXXXX."
Some people in the ward went to bed early, so the main lights were turned off. But for those who were still awake, the small lights by the bedside were on.
Xu Wenqiang looked at Xu Yanmei's gray hair under the dim light and whispered, "Mom, I'll just take one, and you keep the other one—"
"Xu Wenqiang, I'm going to be on the operating table tomorrow, and I might not make it out alive." Xu Yanmei interrupted Xu Wenqiang, "Keep that bank card for yourself."
"Mom, you will definitely come out of the operating table alive." Xu Wenqiang said fiercely.
Xu Yanmei glanced at her and said, "If saying a few harsh words would have helped, I would have said it long ago."
"mom--"
"That's all right."
Xu Yanmei reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
Xu Wenqiang quietly looked at Xu Yanmei's silhouette in the darkness, then walked up and hugged her.
Xu Yanmei's body stiffened, but she did not move or make a sound.
Xu Wenqiang hadn't had any physical contact with Xu Yanmei for a long time. So when she smelled Xu Yanmei's scent, she rubbed it against her nose unconsciously, "Mom, you smell so good."
Xu Yanmei's heart warmed. She remembered when Xu Wenqiang was a child. Sometimes when she was in a good mood, Xu Wenqiang would come to hug her, and she would let her hug her. Then Xu Wenqiang would rub his head against her and smell her scent.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep!" Xu Yanmei said, moving her body uncomfortably.
"Mom, go to sleep." Xu Wenqiang stood up and let go of Xu Yanmei.
The ward fell silent.
Xu Wenqiang put down the folding chair that accompanied her in the ward and lay down on it. She closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep. She began to think that after Xu Yanmei was discharged from the hospital, she would no longer be able to go to the farmers' market to do business. She had to take care of her health first...
At this time, she heard Xu Yanmei say, "Xu Wenqiang, if I die, you should leave the farmers' market."
Xu Wenqiang said, "Mom, you won't die."
