Chapter 324 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (49)
The doctor explained the condition to Xu Ma in detail, with a hint of regret in his voice: "Based on the current situation, this disease should have lasted for quite a long time.
If it can be detected and treated in the early stage, the condition can be effectively controlled through long-term medication. However, the current situation is more complicated and the progress of subsequent treatment needs to be observed.
You have to understand that the damage to the lungs caused by this disease is irreversible.”
Hearing this, Xu Ma's face turned as pale as paper, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
After a moment's silence, Xu's mother took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then asked the doctor about the cost of the medicine.
The doctor told her that although the cost was relatively high, it was not astronomical, but it was still a considerable burden for the Xu family.
More importantly, it is still unknown whether Xu Yong will be able to continue working.
This means that the family's financial resources may be severely affected.
Mother Xu sat quietly on a bench in the hospital corridor, her mind full of thoughts. She didn't know how long it had been before she finally waited for Xu Yong to be pushed out of the operating room.
Due to his critical condition, his trachea has been cut open and he looks a little scary.
But Xu's mother already knew about this, after all, the consent form for the surgery was signed by her personally.
At this moment, Xu Yong is still in good spirits and conscious, but he is unable to speak due to the tube in his throat.
He looked around, trying to find his children.
However, when he realized that the children did not appear in front of him, his eyes revealed disappointment and loneliness that were difficult to conceal.
He considers himself the "head of the family" of the Xu family, and his wife and children should revolve around him.
Knowing what her husband was thinking, Xu's mother said, "Son and daughter are on their way. You should take a rest first! They may be here when you wake up."
After hearing this, Xu Yong thought about it and simply closed his eyes to rest.
What Xu Ma was actually thinking at this time was, what should I do next about this matter?
If Xu Yong really cannot work in the future, her salary alone will definitely not be enough to buy medicine and pay the mortgage.
Her last injury and her husband's two illnesses made Xu Ma feel that no one could be trusted.
Not long after, it was daybreak. Xu Ma found a caregiver for her husband and said she was going to take care of something.
Then I went home!
As soon as she entered the door, she saw her daughter looking for food. Xu Xiaowei looked at her mother coming back from outside and said happily, "Mom, you're back just in time. My brother and I are hungry!"
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!" Xu's mother, who had been suppressing her anger all night, finally exploded. "You are not children anymore. We have rice and flour at home. Don't you know how to cook? Youwei could cook at how old she was. How about you?"
"That's her, not us!" Xu Xiaowei said disapprovingly, "Don't you dislike her? Isn't it her responsibility to do more housework?"
Xu's mother's expression froze, but she immediately changed the subject and said, "Xiao Wei, cancel all your credit cards. I won't help you pay the bill again in the future."
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this news, Xu Xiaowei immediately became anxious, "Why? I haven't found a job yet, if you don't pay it back, who will?"
For the first time, Xu's mother looked at her with cold eyes: "If you can't pay it back, then don't brush it. Live your life according to your conditions!"
Just as Xu Xiaowei was about to explode, her younger brother Xu Songze came out of the room. When he saw his mother, who looked unhappy, he immediately said in a flattering way, "I fell asleep without realizing it yesterday, so I didn't go to the hospital. Is my dad okay?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaowei remembered that her father was sick and hospitalized last night, and immediately said with a guilty conscience: "Oh, I forgot about this. Is Dad okay?"
Mother Xu ignored them and looked around the room. This house had just been renovated not long ago, and she would be reluctant to sell it.
Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Xu Songze slowly moved to his sister's side and whispered, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't said that last night, I would definitely have gone to the hospital."
"Don't say these nonsense. Now we should think about how to make her calm down as soon as possible." After saying that, Xu Xiaowei walked over and said to Xu's mother, "How about I make breakfast for everyone today! Mom, you are tired after a night, you should go and rest first, I will go downstairs to buy breakfast!"
"Stop!" Xu's mother stopped her daughter, "In the future, if you can eat at home, just stay at home and don't go out and spend money."
Seeing that the two children had no idea, Xu's mother explained her husband's condition and continued, "We may not be able to keep this house, so now we should focus on saving your father.
I'll ask someone to figure out what's the best way to do it! Sell it or mortgage it, but our family must cut back on spending, especially you, Xiaowei. You have to find a job as soon as possible and take on the responsibility of the family."
Xu Xiaowei and Xu Songze looked at each other, obviously not expecting what would happen. It seemed that their family suddenly had no money and no future.
