The Yoon sisters arrived too early; Pei Ying wasn't prepared at all.
Before she could even process what was happening, she had already disappeared into the room when she saw Yin Yu enter.
Xia Wenhua encountered this scene as soon as she came out. Seeing the Yin sisters standing there in a daze, she felt quite embarrassed and went in first to pull Pei Ying out.
"Mother, Dr. Yin is here, come out quickly."
Not only did Yin Yu not expect Pei Ying to go through this, but Pei Ying himself also did not expect it.
When Xia Wenhua pulled her out, her face was flushed.
"Dr. Yin, I... I just suddenly lost my mind, please don't take it personally."
Yin Ning let go of her sister's hand and walked to Pei Ying's side first, then casually hugged Pei Ying's arm.
"Aunt Pei, you're worried. We all know it's alright, right, sister?"
She stepped in to smooth things over, which relieved Pei Ying, who immediately patted Yin Ning's hand in return.
"Yes, yes, Comrade Yin Ning is right, I was just too nervous."
Yin Ning seemed completely oblivious to the awkwardness of others, and without giving them time to think about what she had just said, she immediately started chatting with Pei Ying.
"Auntie, I feel an instant connection with you. I didn't have anything planned for today, but I shamelessly came along with my sister. Please don't call me Comrade Yin Ning anymore; just call me Ningning like family!"
The little girl blinked her eyes and looked at Pei Ying with a sincere expression.
Yin Yu, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. People who didn't know her well might think that Yin Ning had a good temper, but only those close to her knew that Yin Ning was not easy to approach.
Despite her seemingly kind and helpful nature, she doesn't truly care about many people.
From the moment she met Pei Ying, Yin Ning was very enthusiastic. When she came to Pei Ying's house, Yin Ning insisted on going with her. This girl really got along so well with Pei Ying.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yin Yu's mind, but in the end she calmed down and did not forget why she came here.
"Hello, Aunt Pei. Ningning is being mischievous. Don't take it personally and don't let her scare you. She's just naturally outgoing."
Undeniably, Yin Ning's witty remarks really eased Pei Ying's mood considerably.
Once she relaxed, she was able to smile again and casually patted Yin Ning's hand.
"Dr. Yin, you're too kind. Ningning was just trying to put me at ease. I know her good intentions. Dr. Yin, you don't need to be so modest."
"See, sister? Everyone knows my good intentions. I knew Aunt Pei must be a good person!"
No one knows where Yin Ning got her definition of Pei Ying as a good person, but nobody cares.
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Yin Yu entered the Pei family's gate and took out the examination report.
"Auntie, here is your medical report. First, I have good news for you: your illness is not stomach cancer, and it can be cured, so don't worry."
"It's really not cancer?" Pei Ying grabbed Xia Wenhua with one hand, her eyes immediately lighting up.
Even though everyone knew that what the barefoot doctor said might not be true, and that he himself said to rely on the tests in big cities, Pei Ying was still very scared.
Because she was diagnosed with stomach cancer, she was abandoned by her child, which remains a deep-seated hurdle in Pei Ying's heart that is not so easy to overcome.
Tears streamed down her face almost immediately and uncontrollably. She grabbed Xia Wenhua's hand, trying to find some strength in herself.
Feeling Xia Wenhua grasp her hand back, Pei Ying felt no relief as she had imagined; instead, she burst into loud sobs.
"Wenhua, it's not cancer, your mother doesn't have cancer!"
She cried uncontrollably, like a child who had been wronged.
Xia Wenhua felt heartbroken watching this, and she took the initiative to hug Pei Ying.
"Mom, I heard you. It's okay, you're alright, everything will be alright. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Xia Wenhua's voice was gentle, just like when she was comforting the twins, as she slowly patted Pei Ying's back.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried, oblivious to everyone else. Yin Yu and her sister, being very perceptive, lowered their heads and did not interrupt them.
Pei Ying cried for a long time, letting out all her recent grievances and fears, until her eyes were red and swollen.
Strangely, she was a little embarrassed when she was avoiding Yin Yu earlier, but she wasn't embarrassed at all now.
After she finished crying, she walked up to Yin Yu and bowed to him solemnly.
"Dr. Yin, thank you so much!"
Upon learning that she did not have cancer, Pei Ying felt much more relaxed than usual, despite the discomfort she had been experiencing recently.
She knew it was psychological. Just like Xia Wenhua said, before the examination, she always felt that she had cancer, and subconsciously she kept making her body worse.
Yin Yu quickly got up and helped Pei Ying up: "Auntie, you're too kind. I'm a doctor, this is all my responsibility."
At this moment, Pei Ying agreed with everything anyone said. Although her eyes were red, her bright smile completely showed her good mood.
The best news was delivered to Pei Ying, and Yin Yu did not forget her main purpose for coming.
"Auntie, although this is not stomach cancer, the illness is still a bit troublesome. It can be treated now, but you need to cooperate."
Stomach ulcers and stomach cancer are easily confused in later generations. It would be good enough if a barefoot doctor could see the problem, and his diagnosis of stomach cancer could not be said to be wrong.
If we had gone to the hospital when the team doctor first mentioned a problem, and intervened with the ulcer earlier, the situation might have been slightly better.
As a doctor, Yin Yu was unwilling to disappoint Pei Ying, but she still used the most professional language to make Pei Ying realize that the situation was not optimistic.
“Your ulcer has been going on for a long time without any medication, and it's showing signs of turning from benign to malignant. I don't recommend medication alone anymore. If you'd like, surgery is a faster and more effective treatment.”
Treatment options for stomach ulcers have only improved slightly in the last two years. Malignant ulcers have been present for too long, and Yin Yu cannot guarantee the success of the surgery.
Nowadays, everyone considers it a miracle if surgery can cure an illness, and they no longer adhere to the principle of avoiding surgery if possible, as was the case in later generations.
However, nowadays, either patients don't have the money, or doctors can't perform the surgery, or even because hospitals lack the facilities to perform surgery. It's not an easy thing to be able to have surgery and cure the disease.
Xia Wenhua spent several years in the hospital due to a serious illness, and occasionally overheard others talking about their conditions, so she had a little understanding of it.
After Yin Yu finished her analysis, Pei Ying subconsciously sought advice from Xia Wenhua, who made a decision almost without hesitation.
"We trust Dr. Yin's judgment. If you feel that surgery is necessary, we will perform the surgery!"
Yin Yu's smile became even more sincere: "Comrade Xia, I won't mince words with you. The army will cover most of the cost of Aunt Pei's surgery, so you won't have to bear too much of the burden."
I'll also ask my teacher to perform the surgery; he's a doctor at a major hospital in Beijing, so there definitely won't be any problems!
