Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 361 Yang Ruihua has cancer

Just when the Liu family was making a lot of money, Yan Fugui and his wife took over Jia Zhang's job and started picking up waste from door to door.

After a month of hard work, the income was considerable.

After dinner that night, the couple started to count their money in the house. After a while of clacking sounds on the abacus, Yan Fugui smiled and said, "Old lady, I figured it out. This month's income is 73.93 yuan, which is much higher than my pension!"

Hearing so much, Yang Ruihua said in disbelief, "Old Yan, you are not talking nonsense, are you? How is it possible? I don't usually see Jia Zhang eat so well."

"Can that lazy Jia Zhang compare with us?" Yan Fugui said proudly, "Besides, this is not a physical job, you need to use your brain to figure out which things are of high value and which are of low value. Jia Zhang doesn't know shit and just bought them without thinking."

"Oh, then our family is going to get rich. If we calculate it as 70 yuan a month, then we will get 840 yuan a year, right?" Yang Ruihua said happily.

In the excitement, I suddenly felt a pain in my chest and immediately bent down.

"Oh my god, it hurts so much."

"Look at yourself, why are you so excited? This is still a small amount." Yan Fugui said indifferently.

"No, Old Yan, I've had pain here for a long time, it's really painful, but every time I just take some painkillers and it's fine. I don't know what happened today, I already took painkillers?" Yang Ruihua said, covering his chest.

"Ah! Has it been hurting for a long time?" Yan Fugui asked hurriedly.

"Ouch, it hurts. It hurts so much right now. Old Yan, please pour me some hot water. It must be hot, quickly." Yang Ruihua shouted.

Soon, after drinking a few sips of hot water, Yang Ruihua finally felt a little better, but she still felt a dull pain. She felt that today was a little different. It was not like usual, and it would get better slowly.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Yan Fugui asked with concern.

"I feel a little better, but it still hurts. Old Yan, do you think I'm sick?" Yang Ruihua said worriedly, "I've felt pain after eating for a long time, but today it hurts much more."

"Well...how about...go to the hospital for a check-up?" Yan Fugui said with concern. He really didn't want to spend money, but he couldn't bear not to go.

"Forget it! How much will it cost?" Yang Ruihua refused, "Maybe it will be fine tomorrow!"

"Okay, you feel it yourself. If it really doesn't work, just tell me or you can go and have a look. We have a lot more money this month." Yan Fugui said. Thinking about the numbers just now, he felt a little excited.

Just like that, the couple chatted for a few minutes and then went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Yang Ruihua started to feel pain again.

"Old Yan, Old Yan, get up quickly. I'm in pain. Go get me some painkillers, quickly." Yang Ruihua couldn't bear the pain anymore and got up and shouted.

Hearing the cry, Yan Fugui quickly turned on the light, then went to the cupboard to get some painkillers, poured some water and handed it to Yang Ruihua.

After a long time, Yang Ruihua still felt pain, so much so that she broke out in cold sweats. At the same time, she was extremely worried, fearing that she had contracted some serious illness.

"Old lady, it seems that our fortune has been ruined," Yan Fugui said with a sad face, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow. It won't cost much. When we are cured, we can pick up some more waste and come back."

"That's fine! I think I should take a look too, otherwise I'll always be scared."

"Don't be afraid, it shouldn't be a problem. Let's check it out first."

……

Early the next morning, Yang Ruihua was still in pain, so they had no choice but to go to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital and describing the situation to the doctor through questions and answers, the doctor suspected that there was a problem, so he seriously suggested that they do a comprehensive examination.

Looking at the doctor's face, Yan Fugui was both scared and distressed. He was afraid that there was some serious illness, and he was distressed that it would cost a lot of money.

There was no other choice, Yan Fugui could only pay the money and take his wife to do the examinations one by one. After the examinations, the doctor directly asked them to be hospitalized first and said to wait until the results came out tomorrow.

In this way, the couple spent an uneasy night in the hospital.

The next day, as soon as the doctor came to work, Yan Fugui went to see the doctor.

At this time, the doctor had already seen the test results, and sure enough, they were basically the same as what he had guessed, except that the condition was slightly more serious.

"Doctor Wang, are the results out? What disease did my wife have?" Yan Fugui asked, "There were no symptoms. What happened? You don't know. We were so worried that we didn't sleep all night last night."

"Hey! Patient's family, please get ready." The doctor sighed.

"Prepare for what?" Yan Fugui asked anxiously, "Doctor, you are not going to tell me that you want my wife to prepare for her death, right?"

"Hi, no, what I mean is that your wife's illness is very serious. You should be prepared, don't get excited, and listen to me slowly." The doctor explained.

"Ah? What's the disease?" Yan Fugui asked anxiously, "Will it cost a lot of money?"

"Don't get excited. It's up to you whether to spend the money or not. This is not a matter of money, but a very serious disease." The doctor said slowly. The reason why he spoke slowly was that he wanted to give Yan Fugui a process of acceptance step by step. Otherwise, if he said it all at once, he might really scare him.

"What's wrong? Doctor." Yan Fugui asked anxiously, "Isn't it an incurable disease?"

"It's hard to say. Let me put it this way. I see that you are a cultured person because you wear glasses, right?"

"Yes, I am a teacher." Yan Fugui replied.

"That's easy. Have you heard of cancer?"

When Yan Fugui heard the word cancer, he almost fell to the ground. He understood this word. In his mind, this word meant the same thing as the word death.

"Comrade, don't get excited. It hasn't really come to that point yet." The doctor quickly stood up and supported Yan Fugui to reassure him.

"Won't he die?" Yan Fugui asked hurriedly.

"Well... there is still a chance. As for whether it can be cured, I need to discuss it with other doctors." The doctor said ambiguously. He didn't know how to answer this question.

"Doctor, you must save my wife. She has never enjoyed happiness in her life!" Yan Fugui pleaded.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, listen to me!"

"Okay, I'll listen. I'll listen."

So the doctor soon said everything he felt he could say.

"Have surgery? It may not be successful, right? Doctor, is that what you mean?" Yan Fugui said in despair.

"Comrade, any surgery has risks, let alone this disease! I have already told you the general process of this treatment. You should think about it carefully and discuss it with your children. Give me an answer as soon as possible. This surgery cannot be delayed."

"Doctor, how much will the operation cost?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Well, I can only give you an approximation."

"That's probably fine. How much?"

"Please prepare 20,000 to 40,000 yuan!" the doctor said to Yan Fugui.
