Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
But Big Brother's side insists on treating Father as soon as possible, and says money is no object; under these circumstances, I'm afraid we have no choice but to be honest about the real situation.
After all, reality isn't a novel.
In reality, cancer treatment requires repeated hospital visits, and the side effects are extremely severe; once treatment is accepted, it's impossible to keep hiding it forever.
And if you want to keep hiding it, you need to choose not to treat it from the very start.
"What do you have to say?"
Seeing Wang Erhai's complexion wasn't quite right, Wang Changgen asked this one sentence.
Wang Erhai found it hard to speak:
"Dad, I've said it; you mustn't be too saddened."
Wang Changgen was stunned, his face turning heavy:
"Spit it out, no dilly-dallying!"
Yet Wang Erhai still hemmed and hawed, not knowing how to begin.
Seeing him like this, Wang Changgen was frantic:
"Can you not act like a woman? Be quick and crisp!"
Pressured into urgency, Wang Erhai could only hurriedly say:
"I've resigned from that renovation company in the county town; from now on I plan to focus on running the farm back in our hometown."
Wang Changgen was stunned:
"Just that?"
Wang Erhai nodded:
"Mm, just that..."
Wang Changgen patted his chest, letting out a long breath:
"Thought you were gonna say something! Such a trivial little matter, why would I be sad as hell! I thought you'd hidden the physical exam results, that I had cancer! You scared me to death!"
Wang Erhai gave a dry laugh, unable to say anything more.
Wang Changgen just said:
"If you're gonna do the farm, do it well; don't run off after a few days like when you were a village cadre before, quitting after just a few months — that won't do!"
Wang Erhai wore a complex smile as he explained:
"Wasn't it because of the merger of villages and towns? Our Shanggou Village got merged into Changjiang Village Committee, so they didn't need a village cadre like me anymore."
Wang Changgen waved his hand:
"Alright alright, do whatever you want; just don't make me go help you feed chickens! That chicken manure stinks to high heaven! If there's nothing else, I'm off to the fields!"
Finished speaking, Wang Changgen turned and went out the door.
Wang Erhai watched his slightly stooped back, his heart a mix of five flavors.
He'd almost spoken just now, but ultimately still lacked the courage.
After Wang Changgen left, Wang Erhai, in the three brothers' WeChat group, spoke with Wang Dashan:
"Big Brother, how about we wait a few days then take Dad down to Guangzhou for a re-examination, and you personally tell him his condition then."
"Wasn't it agreed you'd tell him today?" Wang Dashan replied with this one sentence, carrying a hint of resentment.
"I can't bring myself to say it." Wang Erhai sent a sighing emoji.
Wang Dashan replied:
"Alright alright, then when it's time to bring him for treatment, I'll be the one to tell him!"
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Wang Dashan personally returned to Shanggou Village to take Wang Changgen down for treatment.
Learning this news, Wang Changgen felt it was very sudden:
"Isn't everything fine? Why go down for treatment again?"
Wang Changgen glanced at Wang Erhai; Wang Erhai could only lower his head and cough once, shifting his gaze elsewhere, unable to face him and speak.
Wang Dashan, on the other hand, looked at Wang Changgen with determined eyes:
"Dad, actually we concealed the real situation from you; you have liver cancer, and it's already metastasized elsewhere. Last time that doctor said he couldn't treat your illness, so this time we need to take you down to see other expert doctors."
"Wh... what?"
Wang Changgen's tiger-like frame shuddered, his eyes suddenly widening.
At that moment he was as if struck by lightning.
The previous second his mood was great; the next second he fell into an abyss.
"I... I... I have cancer? And it's liver cancer?"
Wang Changgen's lips turned purple, his voice trembling as he spoke.
Li Xiulan on the side was also greatly shocked and pale.
"Dashan, could the exam report be wrong? This isn't a joking matter!"
Wang Dashan's eyes were red, but his expression remained determined as he truthfully said:
"No mistake; actually as early as the county town physical exam, the problem was already found. Later, going to the provincial TCM hospital to see the liver disease specialist, it was completely confirmed as liver cancer."
"This... what does 'already metastasized' mean? Can it still be treated?" Li Xiulan was also flustered and dazed; after all, this is a big thing!
Wang Erhai let out a sigh:
"It's already metastasized, that means it's late stage……"
"Late stage……" Li Xiulan was incomparably shocked.
And Wang Zhanggen's legs went weak, and he fainted on the spot from fright.
Wang Dashan's eyes were quick and hands fast; he hurried over to support him, and only then did he not smash onto the ground.
"Dad, you be strong. As long as we actively treat it, there might still be a glimmer of life! We can't give up! Money is not a problem!"
While pressing Wang Zhanggen's Renzhong Acupoint Acupoint acupoint, Wang Dashan shouted loudly in Wang Zhanggen's ear, speaking words of encouragement.
Wang Erhai hurriedly went to pour a cup of water, fed Wang Zhanggen a bit of water, and only then did Wang Zhanggen slightly come back to his senses.
"How did I get liver cancer, how could it be, how could it be, am I going to die? I still haven't heard my grandson call me Grandpa……"
Wang Zhanggen had just woken up, and his mouth kept muttering non-stop, so anxious that tears came out.
That kind of fear of death, surpassing all reason, dominated his entire person's emotions.
So no matter how Wang Dashan cheered him on, he couldn't listen to it.
He only knew he was about to die!
"Dad, pull yourself together! Today we'll take you to see another expert doctor. This expert doctor is even more awesome than the last one; maybe he has a method to cure your illness!"
Wang Dashan shouted.
Wang Zhanggen, however, was deaf to it all, not listening in the slightest, his mouth still trembling, muttering:
"How could it be like this, how could it be like this…… I know, it must be that stinky woman Liu Xiaoli who infected me! I fuck her ancestors! She herself died of liver cancer and that was that, why did she have to come harm me!"
Wang Zhanggen cursed wildly like a madman.
"Dad, calm down!" Wang Erhai hurried over, grabbed Wang Zhanggen's shoulder, and shook him hard: "Liver cancer isn't contagious; only Hepatitis B is contagious! You can't put the blame on a dead person. Besides, blaming Liu Xiaoli, what use is that!"
Wang Zhanggen, however, said:
"You two brothers, go dig up Liu Xiaoli's grave! Dig out her bones, I want to ask her why she harmed me like this! When we worked in Dongguan before, I wasn't stingy with her at all! I didn't do little cooking and making dishes for her to eat!"
Wang Zhanggen spoke these words, and both Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai were extremely surprised.
But the most surprised was still Li Xiulan.
She had long vaguely felt that Wang Zhanggen and Liu Xiaoli's relationship was not simple, but she had never taken the initiative to pursue the root and investigate the bottom.
Now Wang Zhanggen saying this counts as him taking the initiative to admit that past between him and Liu Xiaoli that was unknown to others!
"You stop going crazy and shouting randomly, okay! If we treat then treat, if not then forget it!" Li Xiulan at this moment shouted loudly at Wang Zhanggen.
Wang Zhanggen's crazy shouting voice only then came to an abrupt halt.
Then he turned to "wu wu wu" crying:
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die……"
Crying like a child who lost his soul.
