Chapter 35 My Suffering Child
Lu Feng sighed gently and didn't ask any more questions. After putting away the tools, he waved his hand and said, "Sit outside the door!" Bask in the sun."
Li Xiaohu turned his head and looked at his mother, who was still in a coma, and silently shook his head and said, "Brother Lu, go! I'm going to take care of my mother here. If I go outside and she can't see me when she wakes up, she will be worried!"
Sible!
Lu Feng thought that when he and Li Xiaohu were at this age, he was not as sensible as him.
However, the children of the poor have been in charge of the family for a long time. Although they also listen to the poor, compared with Li Xiaohu, they are much better. At least their parents are in good health.
Today's children will be more mature after experiencing too many hardships. Now Li Xiaohu is obviously much better than his peers in terms of mind.
All afternoon, Lu Feng held a medical book and studied beside the door of the hospital while restoring his consumed mental strength. Li Xiaohu waited by his mother step by step.
In the evening, when Shang Wende was considering whether to take the middle-aged woman back to his home and let the mother and son live first, the middle-aged woman who had been in a coma woke up.
The blurred vision gradually became clear, and she felt that her physical state was much better than usual, which made the middle-aged woman excited. However, the strange environment made her slightly stunned and smell the smell of medicinal herbs floating in the air. She hurriedly struggled to get up from the disease.
"Mom, are you awake?"
Li Xiaohu looked at his mother who was struggling to sit up in surprise and shouted loudly.
When a middle-aged woman saw her son, a trace of excitement flashed in her heart. She was really afraid that she would sometimes fall into a coma and would never wake up again. She couldn't look at this filial and sensible son.
"Little tiger, why am I here? Where is this?"
Li Xiaohu showed a bright smile on his face. Judging from his mother's slightly ruddy face, his face was much better than before. He silently thanked Shang Wende and Lu Feng. He smiled and said, "Mom, this is the hospital I told you about. Dr. Shang and Brother Lu treated you! Do you feel much better?
A trace of excitement flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes, and then her expression faded. However, at this time, with her feeling, her body was much more comfortable. In the past, when she opened her eyes, she felt her throat was itchy and she coughed constantly. Although her throat was still a little itchy when she woke up, she could resist coughing.
Li Xiaohu's surprised cry made Lu Feng, who was sitting at the clinic table reading a book, and Shang Wende, who was in the inner room, came quickly. Shang Wende smiled at the thin middle-aged woman and said, "Just wake up. I'm Dr. Shang in Xiaohu's mouth. Stretch out your arm and I'll check your lower pulse."
The middle-aged woman's eyes were full of surprises and doubts. She didn't understand how her son sent herself here from the bridge cave, let alone why Dr. Shang treated himself. She should know that she was an orphan and widowed mother. She was begging all the way. How could she have money to treat the disease? However, she still suppressed her doubts, looked at her son standing on the edge of the bed, and stretched out her slender arms.
Shang Wende put his fingers on the pulse of the middle-aged woman, and his eyes were slightly closed. After a minute, he slowly opened it. The traces left on his face were slightly stretched at the moment when his smile appeared, and he said with some satisfaction, "It's not bad. After two acupuncture treatments, the condition has been controlled and there will be no danger for the time being. However, this condition needs to be treated for a long time, especially in recent days. It must be treated by acupuncture and take medicine on time.
The middle-aged woman is less than 50 years old, but she is suffering from illness, which makes her look fifty or sixty years old. Hearing Shang Wende's words, she smiled bitterly on her slightly old face. She waved her hand and said, "Shang... Are you Dr. Shang? You don't have to lie to me. I know my own illness. Many big hospitals have concluded that my illness can't be cured. At most, it just allows my body to delay more time.
Her words stopped for a moment and continued to sigh, "What's more, even if it can be cured? Our mother, not to mention treating me, even the food and drink are begged by the little tiger. How can we have any money to treat the disease?
Li Xiaohu, who was beside the middle-aged woman, hurriedly said, "Mom, Dr. Shang said that he will treat you for free."
The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly and said, "There is no free lunch in the world. We have experienced so many things in the past few years. Don't you understand? Xiaohu, Mom knows that you said this to make me happy, but Mom has you, a filial and sensible son, which is worth it. Even if you die, you can close your eyes. Forget about the treatment. Mom really can't drag you down anymore. The only thing Mom can't rest assured now is you."
Li Xiaohu frowned, looked at Shang Wende and Lu Feng, and then said seriously, "Mom, I didn't lie to you. Dr. Shang really said that he would treat you for free. Even if there is no free lunch in the world, even if Dr. Shang asked me to do anything, as long as I can cure your illness, I will be willing. If you die. I'm alone. What's the point of living?
The middle-aged woman did not speak any more, but tears dripping down her rough cheeks and shaking her head vigorously.
When Li Xiaohu saw that his mother did not believe it, his eyes suddenly showed an anxious look. He quickly grabbed his mother's arm and looked up at Shang Wende and Lu Feng, and his eyes were full of begging.
Shang Wende sighed gently. He understood the suffering of these years, so that this middle-aged woman may no longer believe in any good people, so he said, 'There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world'.
Life can destroy people's will and smooth out the pure truth in the heart.
Perhaps in the past, middle-aged women would believe that the world is full of love and happiness everywhere. However, in her son's medical career with her in the past few years, she has seen the warmth of human kindness very thoroughly. Even if there are some caring people, what they give is only small favors. How can it be compared with the big thing as treating themselves without a patient's request?
The big hospitals that sought medical treatment before, those who wore angel's coats, had the heart of the stingy God of Wealth, which made her almost desperate.
And those two animal-like sons...
Hope has long been gone. How dare you expect good things to happen to you?
Looking at the tearful middle-aged woman, Shang Wende whispered, "Don't worry! I can't guarantee other doctors, but when I see a doctor here, I won't ask you for money or ask you to do anything in return. There is no free lunch in the world, but you should be glad that there is a filial son who has gone all the way behind his mother's back to see a doctor. He has suffered a lot all the way. With his heart, I can't accept your money anyway.
Lu Feng, who was moved by his heart, couldn't help saying, "Yes!" Xiaohu is a filial child. We are all moved by his filial piety. Maybe you don't know, but he told us himself that along the way, he begged for money to buy you food, while he himself begged to eat leftovers, and even grabbed food in the trash can with wild dogs. Auntie, maybe you don't know, it's early in the morning. When I met him, he was beaten by three little hooligans and couldn't let go of the cloth bag in his hand. Why? For the money he begged for, the bitter money of one piece and twenty cents, one or two yuan! In order not to let the money be robbed by the three rogue hoodlums, and in order to ask us to treat you with this money, he would rather be beaten to death than let go. Maybe you saw the wound on his head. Although I can see that you didn't ask, you must feel confused and distressed, right? He was injured by those three hoodlums!"
"I brought him to the hospital. Just after he saw the signboard of the hospital he had been looking for, he suddenly fainted. Why? He was not knocked unconscious, he was hungry and fainted! Here, he didn't eat anything, just to save money and treat you for his mother.
"Auntie, I have never seen such a child who can struggle on the cliff of life and death for his mother. He is very bitter, but he has a firm heart to save his mother and has this filial piety."
Speaking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help bursting into tears and continued, "Do you know? He had a sentence that made my heart very sore and painful. Maybe that sentence was just what he said inadvertently, but it made me feel heartache like a needle. He said, 'I haven't had a mouthful of hot food for a long time.' He is still a child, and a growing child. He chews cold and dirty steamed buns every day to satisfy his hunger, and drinks cold to quench his thirst every day. He may not even live a stray dog. At least, the dog can pick up some bones thrown away by others after eating meat. "
Tears flashed in Shang Wende's eyes. He silently turned his head aside. When no one was paying attention, he secretly wiped his sleeves quickly. Then he pulled Lu Feng and didn't let Lu Feng continue to say. Now is not the time to talk about this.
Middle-aged women are in tears like rain at this time, and their bleak face makes people look particularly worried.
"My miserable child, you have suffered..."
With her thin body, she hugged Li Xiaohu and held him in her arms and cried.
Yes, she doesn't know!
She didn't know that her son had secretly suffered so much behind her back.
In the past, every time her son came back from the outside with a smile, whenever she picked up the hot meal and asked her son why she didn't eat with her, her son would smile and said, 'I ate outside and I was so full'.
It turns out that his son is not well fed. He is saving money to buy food for himself, but he is suffering from hunger and has never eaten a hot meal!
The heart is broken and painful. The heartbreaking pain is like a poisonous snake constantly biting her heart.
