Chapter 3: Encounter with Hui Xue

  Fireworks are easy to cool down

  "The medical examination results are out, aren't they?" Chen Shouming leaned against the bed, his weak voice looking at his wife with red and swollen eyes.

  "It's out, it's finally out." Tang Yue's teeth chattered and her voice still couldn't stop trembling.

  "Let me see." Seeing her like this, Chen Shouming had a faint sense of foreboding.

  "No, there's nothing to see! It just hurts my stomach, the doctor said I'll have surgery tonight." Until now, she still feels like this is all just a dream, unable to accept that her husband actually has this kind of illness.

  "Bring it here and let me see! Don't do anything that will infuriate me again." Chen Shouming shouted sternly, covering his aching stomach.

  Tang Yue held back her hot tears, and finally took out the test results from her bag. No one understood her husband's character better than she did; once he had made up his mind to do something, no one could change it.

  Chen Shouming took it over, his heart racing as he looked at it. Although he had been prepared, when he saw the two words "liver cancer", he still felt a chill run down his spine. He never thought that he would contract such an incurable disease!

  He suddenly felt a complete loss of strength, and in an instant, he sensed the arrival of death. It turned out to be cancer!

  "Don't think too much, the doctor said. As long as we can cut out the tumor with surgery, there's still hope!" Tang Yue supported her husband on the hospital bed, holding back tears, trying to rekindle his will to live with her body warmth.

  Chen Shouming's face gradually darkened, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes without warning. "I didn't expect this day to come so soon. I'm only 45 years old, our family business has just started to turn for the better, and my three children are still not married or established in their careers!"

  Tang Yue didn't dare to look at his heart-wrenching and painful eyes again, got up and ran out into the corridor, tears finally burst out again. She couldn't understand why heaven was so unfair, her husband had spent his whole life in hard work and suffering, never having a peaceful day. Now that he had finally escaped from all the hardships, he contracted this incurable disease. Isn't it said that good people live a peaceful life? He built roads for the villagers, brought relatives together, such a virtuous and respected person with a good reputation, yet his fate was so bumpy. She hated!

  No matter how hard life is, the future still has to go on. After wiping away her tears, she picked up her phone and decided to tell her three children about this bad news.

  She didn't want her poor husband to face a cold future alone.

  。

  "Zhenhui, she's not Xiaoyu. Focus on killing people." Chen Haonan reminded him again after starting the car.

  "Let's go, I just hit on the little girl because she looks good. Thought anyone would be like you, hungry and indiscriminate, any mother would do."

  "If life could be a little more smiling, it would also be a little more beautiful.....", Chenhui's mobile phone rang.

  "Hey, mom, what's wrong?"

  "You said, can the two of us together knock down that son of a bitch Wang Jiaxiang?" Yan Guoran looked out at the scenery outside the car window and suddenly seemed to be thinking deeply.

  "This guy is really something, looks like you've played too much League of Legends." Chen Haonan stepped on the gas pedal hard, and the car shot out like a rocket. Behind him, seven or eight minivans were closely following, carrying sixty or seventy thugs armed with knives and pipes.

  Chen Hui's face turned iron-green and his hands trembled as he hung up the phone. Liu Shaojie couldn't help but worry, "What happened?"

  "My dad suddenly fell ill and is having surgery tonight!" Chenhui said with a deep frown.

  "Is it very serious?" Chen Haonan slammed on the brakes.

  "I don't know what's going on yet, Haonan. Hurry up and take me to the Red Cross Society. The fight is left to Guoran and Shaojie."

  "Don't worry, you take care of your dad." Liu and Yan picked up the knives under their seats and walked down.

  Chen Haonan stepped on the accelerator again and sped towards the hospital.

  Chen Hui's heart was heavy, although he had fallen, but his innate filial piety had not been destroyed.

  Dad, I hope you're okay!!!!!

  "When he saw the words 'Yu Lin Red Cross Hospital', Chen Hui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He knew that this hospital specialized in treating tumors. A sense of foreboding rose up."

  He hated the smell of disinfectant in hospitals and had once sworn never to set foot in one again, but now...

  "Excuse me, how do I get to room 403?"

  "Turn left at the third room from there." The nurse pointed lazily in the direction without even lifting her head.

  He took a deep breath, wrapped his black coat tightly around him, and put his hands to his mouth to warm them. What had to be faced would have to be faced sooner or later, and perhaps things weren't as bad as he'd imagined. Let's go.

  The entrance was crowded with people, he slowly approached without making a sound. Standing quietly by the side.

  "Aunt, I have to work all night processing wood and it's really not a good time for me to donate blood. Please forgive me!" This person was robust in build, with a belly that rivaled that of a pregnant woman. He was Chen Hui's older cousin, Chen Shouming's nephew.

  "I've had a cold for a long time, the doctor said I'm not allowed to donate blood." His dark skin and slender build made him look like an ordinary migrant worker, but in fact, he was the richest person in his entire family. He was Chenhui's uncle and Tangyue's older brother.

  Tang Yue anxiously looked at her relatives, but they were either pretending to be worried and staring at the ceiling or outwardly solemn while inwardly delightedly playing games.

  Her husband always took care of these so-called relatives and friends, every time they came to borrow money, he would lend it to them without saying a word, interest-free and profit-free. Now that he only needs each of them to donate a little blood, they actually shirked responsibility in this way. Tang Yue felt an unprecedented chill in her heart.

  "Mom, how's the situation?" Chenhui felt very indignant about their behavior of abandoning the mill and killing the donkey after crossing the river, and had already understood the general idea from just a few words.

  "Xiao Hui, the situation is extremely bad!" Tang Yue only then noticed her son standing beside her and saw him, her anxious and helpless mood finally slightly calmed down.

  "What's the specific situation."

  "Your dad's liver has grown some tumors. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, and the doctor asked us to find a way to make up for the blood loss ourselves, but now it seems..." Tang Yue's eyes swept coldly over everyone present.

  "How much blood is needed?" Chen Hui finally understood why his relatives were being so stubborn. These people had extremely outdated and ignorant thinking, believing that donating blood would lead to a lack of energy, declining physical health, and even death in severe cases. It was harder for them to donate blood than to lend money.

  "We need four people. About 200ml each!"

  Chen Hui nodded, fell into deep thought. Relying on relatives was hopeless. His own ID card's birth date wasn't even eighteen years old yet, and with the college entrance exam approaching, he really didn't want to call his high school brothers for help.

  Just as I was hesitating, a somewhat impure Mandarin voice suddenly came over.

  "I'm coming." Everyone's gaze fell on him.

  One meter sixty-five in height, slightly dark and shiny skin, resolute and determined eyes, calloused palms, showing that he often does high-intensity physically demanding work.

  He was Tran Minh Tai, Chen Hui's good brother, a Vietnamese young man who had been working in their home for five years. Chen Hui raised his hand and gently bumped fists with him, which was the etiquette between them when they met.

  "You are Vietnamese, but donating blood requires an ID card," Chenhui said, expressing his concern.

  He smiled eerily and said "I didn't say it was me who donated." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands towards the corner direction, and then a dozen or so muscular young men walked out.

  "They are all brothers I brought from Vietnam and they have all bought their identities." He said with a smile.

  "That's great! Auntie, you choose four people from here to go to the blood bank, and after donating blood, help me give each of them 200 yuan." Chenhui said to the woman beside him, then didn't look at anyone else again, and walked straight into the ward.

  They all knew about their selfishness and understood it, but could not forgive. Because the one who fell ill was not their father.

  The father lay quietly in bed, and Chenhui stood silently beside him.

  Tang Yue gently shook her husband's arm, "Xiao Hui has arrived."

  He suddenly sat up, slowly opening his eyes and smiled at Chenhui "I'm fine, your mom is just making a big deal out of nothing, delaying your studies." The voice may deceive people, but the eyes can never hide the truth. Seeing him like this, Chenhui felt uncomfortable in her heart.

  His father has always been strong all his life, never bowing his head to anyone or anything, and it's the same with illness.

  "I just finished the first mock exam, it won't affect me." Chenhui used a tissue to help him wipe away the sweat on his face.

  "How was the exam?" Father still smiled.

  Chen Hui's smile also froze, ranked eighth from the bottom in the class, shouldn't be considered good, right?

  "It doesn't matter, just keep trying." In his mind's memory, everything Chenhui did couldn't escape his father's eyes.

  "Is surgery tomorrow?" Chenhui carefully wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

  "Don't worry, I still want to get a haircut before the surgery." His father's eyes were still bright and spirited.

  "Come out for a bit." His mother pulled him along as they headed outside.

  His father smiled and nodded at him. Then he closed his eyes deeply. In this simple action, he read the fatigue and pain of his father.

  。

  "Don't cry. Dad will hear us soon." Chenhui comforted his mother by putting his arm around her shoulder.

  "If your dad had an accident, what would our whole family do?!" During this period of time, she only dared to hide in a corner and secretly cry. Now it's finally unbearable.

  "It's nothing serious, just a small tumor, it'll be fine after it's removed." Chenhui was comforting his mother while also reassuring himself.

  "In any case, be prepared for a long and tough fight against this disease. You can't afford to splurge your money like you used to."

  "Is your family short of money?" Chenhui shook his black overcoat.

  "Recently, your dad lost tens of thousands in the lottery and our business lost half of its assets. Do you really think we're rich?"

  "Didn't others still owe us tens of thousands and haven't paid back yet?"

  Tang Yue sighed, "Chasing debts is even harder than conquering a kingdom. Anyway, our family's fortunes have already declined, so you should behave and study hard, don't stir up trouble, and prepare for the college entrance exams!"

  This sudden change caught Chenhui off guard. After all, no one likes to rehearse for such a thing.

  "There's one thing I must remind you of, don't ruin your life for a woman. Go to school." Tang Yue sighed and walked in with big strides.

  。

  A person walked aimlessly, the cold wind blew in, lifting his bangs. His head was no longer muddled and confused, but clearer than ever before.

  Parents toil their whole lives, but he himself is willing to gamble with the family's future and his own prospects for a woman who is being kept. You're almost nineteen, are you still so naive? Wake up, young man!

  "Farewell. Once." A beautiful arc was drawn, and Chen Hui fiercely flicked the cigarette in his hand onto the Nanliu River.
