Taking the bait

Xu Nan glanced at Lu Nanzhou, touched his nose, and thought it was embarrassing. He was so fast asleep that he didn't notice anyone coming home.

She walked into the living room, threw the newspaper she was holding on the coffee table, and then sat down on the sofa.

Seeing Lu Nanzhou looking at him, Xu Nan asked him:

"When did you come back?"

After hearing this, Lu Nanzhou glanced at the watch on his wrist and replied:

"I've been back for an hour."

Xu Nan nodded after hearing this, suddenly remembered Li Cuiqing, and continued to ask Lu Nanzhou:

"Have the test results come out? How are they?"

She was answered by a long silence. After a while, Lu Nanzhou spoke:

"There are nodules in the lungs. It is suspected to be a tumor. We will have to wait for surgery before we can make a conclusion."

Xu Nan opened her mouth in shock. She guessed that Li Cuiqing might be seriously ill, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

Xu Nan carefully observed Lu Nanzhou and saw that his expression was the same as usual, and he could not tell that he was sad.

Xu Nan thought about it later. It was not worth it for Li Cuiqing to feel sad for her.

In the memory of the original owner, it seems that she heard Lu Nanzhou's mother Wang Xue talking to her.

When Lu Nanzhou was young, because her family was too poor to raise three children, Li Cuiqing threw five-year-old Lu Nanzhou into the mountains when it was snowing in winter, hoping that he would fend for himself.

In the end, thanks to Lu Nanzhou, he remembered the way home. According to Wang Xue, Lu Nanzhou's lips were purple from the cold at that time.

Ever since this incident happened, Lu Nanzhou became taciturn and basically never said a few words to Li Cuiqing again.

Xu Nan thought for a while and asked:

"Then did you call your parents and tell them?"

Under normal circumstances, don't we have to discuss such a big matter with our family members?

As expected, Lu Nanzhou nodded towards her after hearing this. His brows wrinkled unconsciously when he spoke:

"I called, but no one picked up."

…

On the flower bed outside the hospital, Jia Lili talked to Lu Jianshe with a calculating face.

"I'm telling you, if you dare to sympathize with your mother's surgery, we'll get divorced when we go back!"

"Don't I understand this disease? It's a terminal disease, a disease that can kill you."

"Before we got married, my neighbor across the street spent a lot of money on it, but it all ended up in vain."

Jia Lili looked at Lu Jianshe with a gloomy face. If there weren't so many people, she would have wanted to give him a slap in the face.

Just now, this bitch actually promised Li Cuiqing that he would treat her illness even if he was selling her off.

The mother and son held each other's arms and cried in that ward. It was so touching to watch!

Still treating illnesses?

Lu Jianshe doesn’t even look at how much money he can earn in a year!

Are you still trying to sell iron to cure diseases?

Is it possible to let her and her son go to drink the northwest wind with him in the future?

The more Jia Lili thought about it, the angrier she became. She pointed at Landing Construction and scolded:

"You heartless person, you still dare to promise medical treatment to your mother, and you don't even think about whether our family has any financial resources?"

Since their separation, Li Cuiqing and Lu Jianshe have lived together, and Lu Nanzhou's parents have given them thirty yuan a month in regular alimony to support Li Cuiqing in his old age.

In this day and age, thirty dollars can solve many things.

Jia Lili and Lu Jianshe's family rely on Li Cuiqing's pension money every month to survive, so their family has no financial resources at all.

On the contrary, Lu Nanzhou's family is living a better and better life.

"Let me tell you, I went to inquire about it. This operation will cost several hundred dollars!"

"If you insist on having an operation on your mother, that's fine, but don't expect me to pay for it!"

Jia Lili thought to herself that although the family was divided, everyone shared the obligation to support the elderly.

This old man is sick, and his family shouldn't be the one to get the money. Lu Nanzhou and his family should also get some blood!

Lu Jianshe was usually a coward. Seeing Jia Lili getting angry at him like this, he wanted to say something for Li Cuiqing, but he didn't dare to talk back. He held it in for a long time before he finally said:

"No matter what, that's my mother too!"

After saying that, he raised his head and glanced at Jia Lili. When he saw Jia Lili glaring at him, he lowered his head in fear.

In fact, what his wife said is right. She usually lives at home, eating and waiting to die, not cultivating the land, and has a child to raise at home, so her livelihood depends entirely on the old man.

I guess if I take out his bankbook now, I'm afraid it's less than 70 yuan.

Lu Jianshe touched his head uncomfortably, thinking that he had the heart to treat Li Cuiqing, but his strength did not allow it.

But this disease must be cured!

After all, that is my own mother!

If his wife doesn't pay for the surgery, then he probably has no choice but to lick his old face and go to his brother for help.

But Lu Nanzhou called his elder brother, what should he do if no one answered the phone?

Seeing Lu Jianshe's cowardice, Jia Lili couldn't hold back the anger in her heart.

She thought that she had been competitive for half her life, and the neighbor in the village would not say anything about her awesomeness when he saw her, so she ended up marrying a loser like him.

Jia Lili was so angry that she just said: "If you want to operate on your mother, that's fine. You can figure out the cost of the operation yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. Seeing this, Lu Jianshe hurriedly chased after him.

At this time, a middle-aged couple who had been sitting next to them stopped them.

"Hey, don't leave, I have something to ask you..."

Seeing that they were about to leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed one of Lu Jianshe's arms, blocking his way.

Lu Jianshe was confused. He looked at the middle-aged man and said blankly:

"Brother, why are you dragging me along? We don't seem to know each other, right? Do you want to ask for directions?"

Jia Lili, who was walking in front, also turned back to look at him and said:

"If you want to ask for directions, ask someone else. We are not locals either."

At this time, the middle-aged man spoke and asked Jia Lili:

"I just heard you talking about a terminal illness? Are you also seeing the disease in this hospital?"

Jia Lili nodded strangely after hearing this, not knowing what the man in front of her was going to do.

When the middle-aged man saw Jia Lili nodding, his eyes flashed. When he spoke again, his tone was a little excited, as if he had found a place to vent. He pointed at the door of the hospital and cursed fiercely:

"Let me tell you, this hospital is a rubbish hospital. The doctors here are all liars, and they specialize in defrauding ordinary people like us from other places!"

"Some time ago, my wife was feeling unwell. When she went to this hospital for a check-up, she was told that she was terminally ill and had to be hospitalized for surgery."

"What's the result?"

Jia Lili asked in a surprised tone, could it be that this hospital is really unreliable?

"I spent a lot of money, but the disease was not cured in the end. I have heard that the doctors in this hospital are all liars, and they get kickbacks by having patients hospitalized for injections."

"When I asked when the operation would be performed, the doctor said that the diagnosis results would be taken to the city to be seen by experts, and they would have to wait for a reply, and then he would give you a fatal injection."

After speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged woman standing next to him:

"Look at my wife, she's not doing well now. Thanks to Dr. Zhang from the Chinese medicine clinic opposite, she just pricked her with a silver needle a few times and she's as good as a normal person!"

Lu Jianshe's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this:

"Is everything you said true?"

This time he is saved!

"Why am I lying to you? If you don't believe me, just ask the doctor when you go back and see what their medical procedures are. If it's the same as what I said, then you can leave as soon as possible."

"I spent hundreds of dollars to treat my daughter-in-law at this shabby hospital, but in the end, I only spent dozens of dollars at Dr. Zhang's hospital!"

After hearing this, Lu Jianshe and Jia Lili looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes.

Jia Lili winked at Lu Jianshe. Lu Jianshe had an epiphany and said to the strange man:

"Brother, can you tell me the contact information of Dr. Zhang you mentioned?"

"I also want to take my mother to see it."
