Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Wang Xiaohua and Wang Dashan together lifted Wang Zhanggen to the doorway, and Wang Erhai hurriedly drove the car to the door.
Several people got Wang Zhanggen into the back seat of the car, then Wang Xiaohua had Wang Erhai take him and Wang Zhanggen and go to the County Hospital first; as for Wang Dashan, he stayed behind to pick up Li Xiulan and go together a bit later.
Li Xiulan was still in the bedroom searching for Wang Zhanggen's ID card, as well as the Rural Cooperative Medical Care social security card.
Estimated it would still take another ten to twenty minutes of searching before they could be found.
The township roads have no streetlights; past ten o'clock at night, approaching eleven o'clock, it was pitch black.
Wang Erhai drove the car along this winding mountain road, his expression heavy, not saying a word.
Wang Xiaohua sat in the back row, supporting Wang Zhanggen, also not saying a word.
Drove for a good while, then Wang Erhai suddenly swore without warning:
"Fuck! That bastard Liang Xinghua, I absolutely will make him pay the price!"
Wang Xiaohua was startled by Wang Erhai's sudden outburst of profanity, then smiled bitterly:
"Second Brother, handling these matters, don't be too emotional."
Wang Erhai instead retorted to Wang Xiaohua:
"Xiaohua, usually I listen to you, but this time, speaking honestly, I regret listening to you back then. Back then Liang Xinghua poisoned my fish pond; if I had been determined to send Liang Xinghua to prison, would there be this rotten mess now?"
Wang Xiaohua for a moment didn't know what to say.
Wang Erhai spoke agitatedly again:
"Back then I shouldn't have been soft-hearted. Whether his daughter lives or dies has what to do with us? Why did we have to let him off just because we were afraid his daughter would have no one to care for her afterwards?"
Wang Xiaohua remained silent in response.
Have to admit, back then if we had been ruthless, firmly refused to compromise, firmly insisted on sentencing Liang Xinghua to three to five years of fixed-term imprisonment, there indeed wouldn't be these rotten matters now.
Wang Erhai's mood calmed a bit, feeling he had gone too far yelling at Wang Xiaohua, so he added by way of making amends:
"I'm not blaming you for anything. You've always handled things very properly. We all trust your ability to handle things, this top student. It's just that for a white-eyed wolf like Liang Xinghua, we really have no need to harbor benevolence!"
Wang Xiaohua sighed:
"Things have come to this; pursuing these is useless now. Let's just first send Dad to the County Hospital, see what the situation is, then talk."
Wang Erhai however said:
"You just think too much about being a saint, but we're all ordinary people!"
Wang Xiaohua didn't know whether to cry or laugh:
"Second Brother, I didn't mean that. The problem is even if we want to settle accounts with Liang Xinghua now, there's no way to go about it. He ran off outside long ago; we don't even know where he went!"
Wang Xiaohua glanced at the rearview mirror, discovering in the rearview mirror Wang Erhai's face was extremely gloomy.
Wang Erhai then said:
"That white-eyed wolf Liang Xinghua is definitely still in the County Town. Not long ago he even came back to the Li Guoshan Decoration Company once. And with his ability, going to a big city he absolutely can't get by. After all, he can't possibly take his daughter to work in a factory!"
Wang Erhai gritted his teeth:
"I'll find some connections, drag him out, and then break his hands and feet!"
Wang Xiaohua immediately exclaimed in shock:
"Second Brother, if you really do that, what's the difference from the underworld? You must not act impulsively!"
Wang Erhai however countered:
"Besides this method, do you have any other way to punish Liang Xinghua? Don't give me magnanimous talk. My heart isn't as broad as yours. Although my own biological father isn't anything good, he's still my own biological father. Being made like this by Liang Xinghua, he absolutely must be made to pay the price!"
Wang Xiaohua sighed, didn't say anything more.
In his heart was a kind of full-to-the-brim powerlessness.
Reality is like this; sometimes there's absolutely no principle to speak of.
Even Wang Xiaohua himself once doubted whether one shouldn't harbor benevolence, shouldn't speak of principle, law, or human sentiment on this land of poor mountains and bad waters.
With the achievements the three brothers have now attained, speaking honestly, if they were willing, their Wang Family could really walk horizontally in Shangou Village. Even if back then they had truly hardened their hearts to send Liang Xinghua to prison, probably no one would dare gossip; on the contrary, they would fear them, achieving a deterrent effect.
Soon, Wang Erhai's car arrived at the County People's Hospital parking lot.
On the way Wang Erhai had already called Zhang Yueran. Zhang Yueran knows many doctors at this County Hospital, so he had her come over to help say hello; many things would be easier to handle.
Zhang Yueran had been waiting at the County Hospital parking lot for a long time.
Wang Erhai had just parked the car when she hurriedly said:
"I've already greeted the Emergency Doctor on duty tonight. We can just take the person straight in now!"
Wang Erhai hurriedly said:
"Wife, you've had trouble. You go back first. Tonight who knows how late we'll be tossing about. You have class tomorrow morning."
Zhang Yueran however said:
"Not urgent. I'll wait to see what the doctor says, then go back."
Just then, a doctor wearing a white coat walked out. He was the Emergency Doctor on duty tonight, Doctor Chen.
"What's the situation?"
Doctor Chen hurriedly asked.
Wang Xiaohua then truthfully said:
"He was on the phone with someone, got angry, then vomited blood and fell into a coma."
"Any underlying illnesses?"
"Yes, quite a few. First, cerebral infarction, then he had a thyroidectomy, then he got liver cancer, and it's already spread to other organs."
Doctor Chen's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Judging by his expression, he must feel the patient's condition isn't good.
But he didn't say much more, instead hurriedly having the nurse bring a movable small bed, lifting Wang Zhanggen onto it to lie on his side, then pushing him into the emergency room, immediately using a machine to suction phlegm, clearing the blood from his mouth and throat, then intubating, putting him on a ventilator, starting intravenous infusion.
After all this was done, basic life signs were maintained, and only then was he sent for detailed examinations.
At this time, Wang Dashan also brought Li Xiulan over.
They hurried to the hospital's registration window to handle Wang Zhanggen's admission procedures.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Wang Zhanggen's vital signs stabilized.
And on Doctor Chen's side, he came over at this time to say to the Wang family:
"The patient's situation isn't good. Just did a CT, found his cancer cells have already spread to the lungs, there's a huge mass in the lungs, and it's precisely because this mass ruptured that he vomited blood. Fortunately, the blood from this mass didn't completely block the trachea, so he luckily scraped back a life, but he probably won't last much longer."
Li Xiulan, hearing this, was at a loss for a moment.
Wang Dashan, Wang Erhai, and Wang Xiaohua all wore heavy expressions.
"Doctor, won't last long — roughly how long?"
Wang Dashan asked in a trembling voice.
Doctor Chen said:
"Short then one or two days, long then ten or eight days. To fight for a sliver of a chance, you can only transfer to a big hospital in Guangzhou and try; the hospitals on this county city side have limited medical conditions."
Wang Dashan found this difficult to accept.
Wang Erhai's face was full of gloom, clearly he still hates Liang Xinghua.
Wang Xiaohua was expressionless, because this kind of result was actually long within his expectations.
Doctor Chen knew Wang Zhanggen was Zhang Yueran's father-in-law, so he kindly reminded them:
"The patient's lung tumor ruptured, plus he has so many underlying illnesses. To speak truthfully, forcibly prolonging life is already meaningless. Suggest doing palliative care well, letting the patient pass with some dignity."
