The First Volume: The Classmate is a Youngster Chapter 48: Ye Mu's Mother Has Heart Disease

  At a little past seven in the evening, Su Lin carefully carried a tattered old fertilizer bag back to the gate of his own small courtyard.

  "Two hundred thousand, this is two hundred thousand! With this two hundred thousand, my parents will never have to worry about money again. However, I need to think carefully about how to explain the source of this two hundred thousand to them."

  Never had so much cash in hand, Su Lin himself was a bit like a dream, his parents' salary was only a few thousand yuan per month, and at most tens of thousands of yuan per year. This 200,000 yuan was equivalent to their family's savings for four or five years without eating or drinking.

  It is said that the meat and wine in the Zhu family's house are stinky, while there are frozen bones on the road. A black society gang like Longhu Bang makes a fortune by buying and selling drugs, while ordinary workers like Su Lin's parents work hard for a whole month but only earn two or three thousand yuan.

  "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

  As soon as Su Lin pushed open the door, he excitedly shouted out. He wanted his parents to see this 200,000 and know that their son Su Lin was not a good-for-nothing, but could also make money.

  But Su Lin called out several times in the living room, but didn't hear any response from her parents.

  "Mom and Dad aren't home? Where did they go?"

  Su Lin's parents are now both laid off at home, even on normal working days, they should have returned home by this time. But what happened today? Su Lin's dad and mom were not at home.

  "What's going on? Has something happened?"

  Su Lin had a bad premonition in her heart, so she quickly picked up the phone at home and dialed her father Su Guorong's mobile phone.

  Beep beep beep...

  After several rings, the phone finally connected.

  "Dad, I'm Xiaolin, how come I came home and you and mom are both not at home?"

  As soon as the phone was connected, Su Lin asked eagerly.

  "Kobayashi! Your mom and I are at the city hospital. You can go out to eat dinner by yourself! Mom and dad might not be back home until very late."

  Su Lin's father, Su Guorong, had a low voice, and as soon as he heard it in the hospital, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Dad, why did you run to the hospital? Who is sick?"

  "Uh! It's your Aunt Zhang, your mom's sister. I don't know what happened today, but she suddenly had a heart attack and is now being rescued in the hospital's emergency room. Your mom and I are both waiting outside the operating room with your cousin Zhang. Dad won't talk to you anymore, the hospital doesn't allow phone calls, so be careful by yourself at home."

  After hanging up the phone, Su Guorong couldn't calm down his heart.

  "Did Aunt Liang have a sudden heart attack? She's being rushed to the hospital now. Won't Big Sister Zhu be worried to death?"

  Since Su Lin's memory began, Ye Xingzhu's family had only been a single-parent household with her mother. As the eldest sister of a single-parent family, she was stronger than girls of the same age, but her mother, Liang Gui Zhu, was her only reliance and relative. Su Lin didn't know if Liang Gui Zhu really had an accident, whether Ye Xingzhu could hold on by herself.

  "No! I'm going to the municipal hospital, at a time like this, Zhū Jiě needs me by her side."

  He made a quick decision, Su Lin put the money from selling that bag of fertilizer in his bedroom and then rushed out again, hailed a taxi and headed straight to Jian'an City Hospital.

  Jian'an Municipal Hospital, emergency rescue room, Ye Mu Liang Gui Zhu's rescue surgery is being carried out in an orderly and intense manner. While outside the operating room, Ye Xing Zhu sat restlessly, her forehead filled with dark clouds, tears welling up in her eyes, fortunately, Su Fu and Su Mu were by her side, occasionally saying a few words to comfort her.

  "What? Wasn't it Kobayashi who just called?"

  Su Guorong had just hung up the phone and came back, Liu Aizhen immediately asked, "Has Xiao Lin gone home? Did you tell him to go out for dinner by himself tonight and not wait for us?"

  "Hmm! Said."

  Nodding, Su Guorong looked at Ye Xingzhu again and comforted her, "Xingzhu, don't worry. Your mom is a lucky person, she'll definitely be fine. Uncle and Auntie are here with you tonight, don't be afraid, if anything happens, Uncle and Auntie are here."

  "Thank you, Uncle Su. I'm fine. Why don't you all go back first? Xiao Lin is alone at home. Besides, the doctors in the hospital are all acquaintances of mine, it's okay. If something happens, I'll call you again."

  Ye Xingzhu was originally a nurse at the municipal hospital, so she was familiar with the admission procedures. However, she didn't express the worries and helplessness in her heart right now. Who else could understand the position of her mother in her life? If she lost her mother, she would really be left without any support or dependence in this world.

  "It's nothing serious. Kobayashi is not a kid anymore, he can stay home alone without any problem. Besides, both you and I are laid off now, we don't have to go to work tomorrow, so let's just stay in the hospital with you today!"

  Sighing, Su Guorong said. The Ye mother and daughter have had a hard time for so many years, and now they are suffering such misfortune, how can the Su family just stand by and do nothing?

  "Thanks to Uncle Su and Aunt Liu, over the years, my mother and I have been grateful for your help."

  Although Ye Xingzhu didn't say much, in her heart she was as clear as a mirror. Since childhood, the Su family had always been protective of their own, and Mr. and Mrs. Su treated her like their own daughter, giving her all the good food. It was also because of this that Ye Xingzhu's relationship with Su Lin was so good.

  The waiting time is always extra long, Yexingzhu's heart is very anxious now, but still pretending to be calm, staring at the red light of the operating room with anxiety.

  Ding!

  The door of the operating room opened, and Dr. Pang Dehua, wearing a surgical gown, pushed the door open and walked out. Ye Xingzhu hurried forward and asked urgently: "Dr. Pang, how's my mother doing?"

  "Yehu, your mother had a sudden heart attack which led to heart failure. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time and after emergency treatment, she has passed the critical period. However, her heart is now extremely weak, if she were to be discharged from the hospital like this, there's a possibility of another problem arising at any time. If such a problem arises again, it might be... beyond salvation."

  As soon as Pong Dehua spoke, Ye Xingzhu heard that his mother was safe and sound, and he also let out a sigh of relief. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he became anxious again and hastily asked him: "Dr. Pong, what should we do now? Do we need to have a heart stent or a bypass?"

  Ye Xingzhu himself is a nurse and has heard and seen various symptom response plans over the years, so he still knows a little bit about them.

  "Uh-huh! My suggestion is to do a bridge, using stents is only suitable for mild conditions. For your mother's situation, it's best to do a bridge, so even if she does some intense exercise, there won't be any problems. As long as she pays attention in daily life, basically there's no risk of relapse. The only thing is that the cost of this surgery is quite high. Of course, if there's really no other way, then stents can be used, but this way, even the surgical risks are not small. After the stent is put in, there's still a big possibility of relapse."

  Pang Dehua explained the situation of his mother, Ye Mu, in detail on the side. Ye Xingzhu listened and frowned, asking with a heavy heart: "Then if we do the bridge, how much money will it take?"

  Her mother, Liang Gui Zhu, had a hard time raising her all these years and had endured much hardship. Ye Xingzhu naturally wanted to give her the best, and this sudden heart attack had already scared her half to death; she didn't want to go through that again. So, Ye Xingzhu decided that no matter what, she would get a coronary artery bypass graft for her mother.

  "Conservative estimates, at least 80,000 to 90,000 yuan are needed, plus some post-operative care and medication, it's over 100,000 yuan! If it's a stent surgery, it's slightly cheaper, but adding up to around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan."

  The Pundehua newspaper came up with such a number, and although Ye Xingzhu had mentally prepared herself, she was still startled. To think that their family's total savings now were only around 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and this was because in the past two years, Ye Xingzhu had also gone out to work as a nurse at the hospital, managing to save over 10,000 yuan each year.

  What's the concept of 100,000 yuan? Even if Ye Xingzhu doesn't eat or drink, with a monthly salary of over 2,000 yuan, it would take him five or six years to save up to 100,000 yuan.

  "One hundred thousand yuan! Do you want so much?"

  Sū Fù Sū Mǔ heard the cost of the operation and were also shocked, it was really too much. Especially for Yè Xīngzhú and her mother, 100,000 yuan was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

  "Dr. Pang, I'll think about it some more... If not, then I'll just have a stent surgery."

  "Hmm! Nurse Ye, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible, best if it's done tonight, so there won't be a need for a second surgery and it can also save you a considerable amount of surgical fees."

  After all, Ye Xingzhu himself was a nurse at the municipal hospital, so Pang Dehua kindly reminded her.

  "Xing Zhu, this surgery is too expensive. Is your family's money enough? If not, Uncle has some extra, 30 to 50 thousand can still be taken out."

  Su Guorong is a straightforward person. As a former soldier, he will help those in need, and Ye Xingzhu has been under his care since childhood!

  However, Liu Aizhen, Su's mother, considered more. It wasn't that she didn't want to help Ye Xingzhu, but the Su family themselves were not well-off either. Upon hearing Su Guorong's generous words, she pulled him aside and whispered her complaints: "Old Su, have you gone crazy? My husband and I are both laid off at home now, and all our savings in the bank is just over 50,000 yuan. If you lend it all to Xingzhu, she won't be able to return it immediately. How will Xiaolin go to college in the future?"

  "Isn't... isn't this a matter of life and death?"

  Su Guorong was also speechless, while Ye Xingzhu saw through the situation and quickly waved his hand at Su's parents, "Uncle Su, Aunt Liu, I don't need your money. You're not easy either, Xiaolin is about to go to college, it's a time when you need money urgently. My mom's surgery fees, I'll think of a way myself."

  As she spoke, Ye Xingzhu bit her lower lip, as if making a major decision with determination.

  "This... Xing Zhu, it's not that Liu Yi is unwilling to help you. Look at our family, both I and your uncle Su are laid off at home, you also know the situation. However, in other aspects, Liu Yi will definitely help you."

  Liu Aizhen also felt a bit embarrassed, she and Liang Guizhu were like sisters, at this time, in her heart, it was still not quite right.

  "It's okay. Uncle Su, Aunt Liu, it's so late already. My mom has temporarily escaped danger and I'm fine now, why don't you go back first?"

  "Go! You'd better be careful too, Star Bamboo. I and Liu Aunt will head back first. If anything happens, just give Uncle a call anytime."

  Su Guorong knew that he and his wife were not much help here now, and Ye Xingzhu was a nurse at the municipal hospital himself, so he knew better what care was needed. So after entrusting a few more words to Ye Xingzhu, Su's father and mother left the hospital and took a taxi home.

  After Su's father and mother left, Ye Xingzhu felt a little guilty and looked around the hospital entrance to make sure they were really gone. Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

  "Hey! Xing Zhu, you finally agreed to call me. Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to marry me?"

  Just after a ring, the phone was answered, and an excited voice came from the other end. If Su Lin heard this voice, he would definitely be able to recognize it - it was Wei Hongwei, who had been pestering Ye Xingzhu at the gate of the courtyard that day.

  "One hundred thousand yuan. Wei Hongwei, my mom is hospitalized due to illness. It's a heart disease, if you can come up with one hundred thousand yuan, I'll agree to marry you."

  After saying these words, Ye Xingzhu closed his eyes and two lines of clear tears flowed down from the corners of his face.
