Chapter 39: The adoptive mother is sick and the Xu family is all...
All members of the Xu family were in the ward, except for Li Qiunong, Xu Zhengguo and Xu Ruyu, as well as Gu Ruyi's former brother Xu Rushong and older brother Xu Ruzhu.
Five people's five pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time, and Gu Ruyi suddenly felt under great pressure.
But what kind of pressure could she actually feel? She didn't steal or rob, nor did she deliberately target Xu Ruyu, so there was no need to feel guilty.
Gu Ruyi, who had figured it out, smiled her signature smile, "Aunt Xu, I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you specially."
After not seeing each other for many days, Li Qiunong felt extremely sad when she suddenly heard Gu Ruyi calling her aunt.
Sure enough, Ruyi has really grown up.
Li Qiunong forced a smile and said, "I'm fine! Ruyi, you don't have to come to see me specially."
Li Qiunong looked relaxed and his complexion did not look too bad. He did not look like he had a terminal illness at all.
Gu Ruyi felt much more relieved, guessing that Xu Rulin might have heard it wrong.
But it’s better to ask clearly.
Of course, Gu Ruyi was not stupid enough to ask about the patient Li Qiunong. She planned to ask Xu Ruyu privately later.
Gu Ruyi smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden, and just as she said "That's good," she heard Xu Rushong suddenly mutter, "You're so nice to come to see the patient empty-handed. Don't tell me you have other intentions."
Although it was just a mumble, Xu Rushong's voice was actually quite loud, at least everyone heard it.
Xu Zhengguo directly scolded with a dark face, "Xu Rushong, shut your mouth."
Xu Rulin also raised his head and said angrily: "Second brother, Sister Ruyi was too anxious when she heard that mom was sick."
Li Qiunong also frowned, "Rusong, don't go too far."
Xu Rushong was criticized by his family for saying just one sentence. He was so angry that his nose almost became crooked, but he finally shut his mouth.
But he glared at Gu Ruyi fiercely several times.
If it were someone else, Gu Ruyi would have gotten angry a long time ago.
But facing Xu Rushong, Gu Ruyi couldn't get angry.
There is no way, this is all debt owed by the original owner.
Originally, Xu Rushong was very kind to the original owner's sister, and his attitude did not change even after Xu Ruyu came back.
However, in order to deal with Xu Ruyu, the original owner used Xu Rushong as a gun, and often secretly said in front of Xu Rushong that Xu Ruyu bullied her, and instigated Xu Rushong and Xu Ruyu to fight against each other.
The young boy Xu Rushong was a man who hated evil and thought Xu Ruyu was a "black-hearted" person. He often spoke harshly and rudely to Xu Ruyu.
After the truth came out, Xu Rushong realized that he was a fool who was fooled by Gu Ruyi. As much as he liked Gu Ruyi before, he hated her since then.
It can be said that in Xu Rushong's heart, Gu Ruyi is now no different from a poisonous snake. It is considered that he has a good temper just for her to say a few unpleasant words to him.
Gu Ruyi ignored Xu Rushong, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
In the end, Xu Ruyu smoothed things over and said, "Since you're here, come in and sit down! Mom missed you, too."
Facing Li Qiunong's expectant eyes, Gu Ruyi nodded meekly.
After finding a stool to sit on, Gu Ruyi thought it would be better not to be mute, so she began to ask Li Qiunong if she was in pain, whether her appetite was good, etc.
Although they were just ordinary greetings, Li Qiunong's eyes turned red with excitement.
When Ruyi was driven away, she clearly saw the hatred in Ruyi's eyes.
Will hate that for the rest of my life.
Li Qiunong thought that Ruyi would never speak to her properly in her life, but unexpectedly, in just one or two months, Ruyi actually figured it out.
Although the price was that Ruyi obviously treated them as relatives, this was already good compared to being hated, and Li Qiunong was content.
After all, he was a patient, and after chatting for a while, Li Qiunong's face showed fatigue.
Gu Ruyi took the opportunity to leave and winked at Xu Ruyu.
Although Xu Ruyu was a little confused, she still cooperated and offered to send Gu Ruyi off.
The two had just walked a short distance when Gu Ruyi couldn't wait to ask, "Xu... Ruyu, is Auntie really okay?"
It turned out that Gu Ruyi was asking about this. Xu Ruyu sighed softly, "It's actually quite serious. The doctor said that there is a tumor in Mom's chest, and it's a bad tumor. It must be removed, and you must take good care of yourself in the future. You can't get angry, you can't do heavy work, etc."
"However, because it was discovered in time, the disease did not kill mom, which is a blessing in disguise."
Gu Ruyi felt heavy in her heart. If there was a tumor on her chest, it must be a breast tumor.
It's still malignant, it's basically cancer.
The only thing to be thankful for is that it was discovered early. As long as the cancer cells are removed as soon as possible and I stay in a good mood, I should be able to live for many more years.
At most, a little weak.
That's much better than other cancers.
After rubbing his brows, Gu Ruyi sighed and said, "It's good if it can be cured. As long as it can be cured, it's not a big deal."
Xu Ruyu nodded and said, "That's right, the worst thing about being sick is that there is no cure."
After understanding the situation, Gu Ruyi left as he couldn't help.
After this episode, Gu Ruyi's mood was neither good nor bad throughout the day.
Qi Lin saw it and came over as soon as he got off work.
"Ruyi, what's wrong with you today? You don't look happy. Did someone provoke you?"
Before Gu Ruyi could say anything, Qi Lian continued to talk to himself: "Who is it? Is it from our factory or outside?"
Gu Ruyi: “???”
"Why do you feel that someone is bullying me?" Does she look like someone who is easy to bully?
Qi Lin: "Other than this, I can't think of any reason why you're unhappy?"
Another thing is that excellence makes people jealous. Ruyi is beautiful and capable, so there must be a lot of people who are jealous of her. She is as soft and sticky as a little white rabbit, and looks easy to bully. Qi Lin is worried about her all the time.
If other people knew what Qi Lin was thinking, they would definitely spit out insults at him.
Could Gu Ruyi be a little white rabbit?
She is clearly a rose with thorns, beautiful but prickly.
Gu Ruyi didn't know that she had a filter in Qi Lin's mind. She shook her head before explaining.
"You think too much. My adoptive mother is sick."
Qi Lin frowned, "Aunt is sick? Is it serious?"
"I have a malignant tumor in my chest. I need surgery to remove it. It's a bit serious."
"The surgery will cause great damage," Qi Lian said, and then suddenly asked, "Ruyi, is your aunt treating you well?"
After they started dating, Qi Lin naturally knew that Gu Ruyi was taken away by mistake and that she had biological parents and adoptive parents who raised her.
There is no need to mention my biological parents, they are scum among scum.
But Qi Lin was not very clear about Ruyi's adoptive parents.
Although it was found out that the couple treated Ruyi well, the rumor was... very untrue.
For example, people at the textile factory were saying that Ruyi was very vicious, but based on what he had learned during this period, he was certain that Ruyi was definitely not that kind of person.
On the contrary, she is beautiful, kind-hearted, smart, and has a pure mind, and has nothing to do with the rumors.
But now no one believes her.
A person with a clean name cannot clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River. This is all caused by rumors.
Therefore, you cannot trust what outsiders say. If you have any questions, it is better to ask Gu Ruyi, the person involved, to avoid making a wrong decision.
Gu Ruyi had no idea that Qi Lian had cleansed her up in his heart.
Although it seems to be white originally.
Although she didn't understand why Qi Lin asked this, Gu Ruyi still replied: "Of course my adoptive parents treat me very well, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried."
In that case, there is no problem.
Qi Lin lowered his voice and said, "I know an old man who is a good doctor. Ruyi, go ask your aunt if she wants to go and see him."
Qi Lin added, "But the old man is not in good condition right now. It would be risky to contact him. Please ask your aunt to think it over carefully."
Gu Ruyi: "Could it be..."
Qi Lin nodded, and Gu Ruyi immediately understood.
It seems that the doctor recommended by Qi Lian is not a good person.
But that's normal. Anyone who can cure cancer must be a very powerful person.
In the 1970s, the more powerful the traditional Chinese medicine masters were, the more likely they were to be persecuted.
I just don't know how bad it is.
Afraid of being overheard by others, Gu Ruyi suddenly leaned close to Qi Lin's ear and asked, "Is the doctor you mentioned in the cowshed now, or is he under guard?"
Gu Ruyi asked the question seriously, but didn't notice that her lips lightly brushed Qi Lin's earlobe.
The touch was so gentle and soft as if it were a feather, but Qi Lin's heart stopped beating suddenly, and then started beating wildly again.
His face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After getting a response, Gu Ruyi glanced at Qi Lin and was amused by Qi Lin's innocent reaction.
Such innocence is indeed the charm of men in this era.
Gu Ruyi was full of evil thoughts and wanted to see a bigger reaction from Qi Lin.
Unfortunately, the timing is not right.
It's still on the street! Although there are not many people, it does not mean that there is no one.
In the 1970s, couples were not allowed to hold hands on the street, let alone unmarried couples like them.
If you are caught crossing the line, you will be criticized in minutes.
Although Qi Lin felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, Gu Ruyi was more important, so he regained his composure in just a few breaths.
"Zhong Bo has been demoted, but it's not too far from Sijiu City. It will only take two days to go back and forth."
With transportation in the 1970s, this distance was indeed not too far.
Gu Ruyi nodded to show that she understood, and then said anxiously: "Then I will go ask first."
"Why……"
Qi Lin grabbed Gu Ruyi and said with some concern: "It's been five or six hours since lunch. You must be hungry after not eating for so long. Can we go to the state-owned restaurant and have something to eat first?"
She didn't feel it before Qi Lian mentioned it, but as soon as Qi Lian mentioned it, Gu Ruyi really felt hungry.
So she nodded, and Qi Lin, as if he had received an imperial decree, immediately and attentively took her to the state-owned restaurant and ordered three dishes and a soup in one go.
After eating and drinking, Qi Lian accompanied Gu Ruyi to the hospital again.
This time he came mainly to introduce a doctor. Because the Xu family had concealed Li Qiunong's true condition, Gu Ruyi did not go to see her, and he asked the nurse to call Xu Zhengguo out.
It can be seen that Li Qiunong's illness was a great blow to Xu Zhengguo. As soon as the door of the ward was closed, the smile on his face collapsed, and his whole body exuded an extremely decadent aura.
However, facing Gu Ruyi, he still forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.
"Ruyi, what can I do for you? And who is this person next to you?"
Qi Lin's temperament is so outstanding that Xu Zhengguo can't ignore it.
He even felt vaguely familiar with it.
Qi Lian: This is a good opportunity for me to show myself.
Qi Lin spoke before Gu Ruyi: "Hello, uncle. I am Ruyi's boyfriend, my name is Qi Lin. Uncle, you seem to be in a bad mood. How about we find a place to sit down first?"
What? Ruyi actually found a partner?
It wasn't long before the lush cabbages he raised were eaten by pigs.
Xu Zhengguo instantly became alert, and his eyes scanned Qi Lin up and down like infrared rays.
Although it was just a normal look, Qi Lin couldn't help but straighten his back. He felt sweaty on his back and was even more nervous than when he was meeting the chief.
Just with this one glance, Xu Zhengguo felt a little satisfied.
Because Qi Lian was standing in standard military posture.
In this era, ordinary people have a very thick filter for soldiers.
But being a soldier alone is not enough.
After all, as a man, Xu Zhengguo knows best that soldiers are loyal to their country but not necessarily to their wives.
Just when he wanted to ask about Qi Lin's situation, Gu Ruyi, who had been waiting for a long time, impatiently urged: "Uncle Xu, let's go!"
Subtext: Don't just stand there.
Xu Zhengguo heard it and realized that Gu Ruyi might have something urgent to do, so he quickly put Qi Lan out of his mind.
The few of them hurriedly found a quiet place, and then Gu Ruyi went straight to the point and explained the whole story.
Xu Zhengguo didn't expect Gu Ruyi to bring such great news. His expression instantly lost control. He stared at Qi Lian and asked, "Are you sure?"
Qi Lian: “…” He is not a doctor, how does he know?
The next second Xu Zhengguo realized that his question was a bit silly, and he patted his head before saying, "Look, I'm confused and asking stupid questions. Let's go! And the sooner the better."
As expected of a factory director, Xu Zhengguo made the decision to go in just a breath.
It was only because he recognized who Qi Lin was. In the past, Qi Lin was the son of a powerful noble in the imperial city.
People of this status would not recommend ordinary people, so it is worth a try.
As for taking risks.
As long as Li Qiunong can be cured, any risk is worth it.
But if it can't be cured...
Xu Zhengguo subconsciously rejected this consequence.
When it comes to illness, the sooner it is treated, the better.
So Li Qiunong was sent away by her nephew that night.
Why is it a nephew?
Of course it was to hide it. The Xu family announced to the public that Li Qiunong was fine and just needed to rest at home for a while.
In order to make everyone believe it, the other members of the Xu family naturally could not leave.
Two days later, good news came that Li Qiunong's disease could be cured because it was discovered early.
However, her disease is difficult to treat. I need to take her pulse and ask about her symptoms once a week, and then change the prescription for her.
Since he needed to see the doctor so frequently, Li Qiunong simply decided not to come back. He planned to find a place to stay there temporarily, come back to show up when his condition got better, and then go back to see the doctor.
