Han Chunli escorted him to the staircase door: "Iâll manage things on the hospital side, but the cost of this surgery is definitely not going to be low; go visit my Second Brother and explain the situation to him."
Ji Linfeng frowned: "Chunli, we havenât repaid your Second Brother the money we borrowed before; I canât bring myself to ask for more."
Han Chunliâs face darkened: "My Second Brother isnât burdened with anything else, and if we donât use his money, it will go to someone else. Besides, think about the timing; hurry up, my Second Brother isnât stingy. He knows itâs about Xiaowenâs life; heâll definitely help."
Ji Linfeng really finds it hard to endure his wifeâs sense of entitlement, but at present, he indeed doesnât have enough money on hand. Thinking about his daughterâs surgery, he sighed and turned to leave the hospital.
Over the years, their Second Bro-in-law has helped them a lot. Xiaowen has been unhealthy since childhood, and Chunli has frequented the Second Brother-in-lawâs place often for help. Every time he brought it up, Chunli would retort: Heâs my Second Brother; isnât it right for him to help us?
After seeing Ji Linfeng off, Han Chunli returned to the ward: "Xiaowen, what would you like for lunch?"
Ji Xiaowen looked up upon hearing her motherâs voice: "Mom, Iâm not hungry."
Han Chunli walked over with a few steps: "That wonât do; if you donât eat, how can your body take it? Donât worry, the surgeon helping you this time was invited from Shanghai. The surgery will definitely be fine, thereâs no need to worry."
Ji Xiaowen leaned into Han Chunliâs arms after hearing this: "Mom, Iâm a bit scared. What if the surgery doesnât succeed, will I never see you again?"
Han Chunli stroked her daughterâs hair: "Silly child, what are you saying? Mom has arranged everything; there will absolutely be no problem."
Thinking about the suffering her daughter endured from childhood, Han Chunliâs heart ached terribly. Ji Xiaowen was born with renal dysplasia, weak since young, and easily ended up in the hospital, making her constantly worried.
A few years ago, she went on a business trip to Shanghai and heard that someone there had a successful kidney transplant and recovered very well, as normal as others; she started to pay attention to these matters.
Unfortunately, neither she nor her husband was suitable for donating a kidney, and she couldnât bear to consider her only son, who is still young.
Those cousins and relatives were unwilling to donate a kidney. Finally, she thought of one person, but upon contacting them, she found that their family had already moved away.
It took a lot of effort, but she finally managed to find them, and after some maneuvering in recent days, she finally achieved the result she desired.
Now her daughterâs kidney failure is more severe, threatening the metabolism of water and salt. If a kidney transplant surgery is not performed in time, the consequences would be unthinkable, so the kidney transplant surgery is imperative.
After calming her daughter down, she headed toward her eldest sisterâs house not far from the hospital.
Sun Zhenhai, about to head out to buy soy sauce, noticed his aunt approaching his home, quickly turned around, and headed back indoors: "Mom, my aunt is here; sheâs about to come into the yard."
Han Chunxue slightly frowned, directly poured the freshly stewed ribs into a big pot and locked them in the cabinet. It wasnât that she was stingy; it was really this younger sister sometimes acted recklessly.
Her second son Sun Zhenjun had not returned from being a rural youth for years and was bringing his girlfriend back now. Her daughter Sun Zhenling had already gone to the station to pick them up, and they should be home soon. She couldnât let her younger sister disrupt the occasion.
After she locked everything up, Han Chunliâs voice came from outside: "Elder Sister, what delicious food are you making? Smelled it from afar."
Han Chunxue wiped her hands on her apron and walked out of the kitchen: "Well, Zhenjun is bringing his partner back; theyâll be here soon, and Iâm busy cooking."
Upon hearing that her nephew is coming back, Han Chunli didnât worry about the people; instead, she laughed and said: "Then Xiaowen and I are lucky today."
On the side, Sun Zhenhai disliked this aunt the most, really couldnât understand how this person could be so thick-skinned: "Aunt, Sister Xiaowen canât eat such greasy food. How can you call yourself a real mom?"
Han Chunliâs face felt a bit hot: "What are you saying? Surely there are some light dishes. Later, Iâll cook some porridge for her to accompany the food."
At this moment, Sun Baowei came out of the room and wasnât polite: "Chunli, today is a special day. Zhenjun and the others will be home soon. Your elder sister hasnât finished the dishes and doesnât have time to make food separately for Xiaowen. You better let Lin Feng bring food."
Han Chunli didnât expect her brother-in-law to be so blunt: "Brother-in-law, my home is far from the hospital; meals would get cold by the time they arrive. Itâs best if my sister could cook; Iâll take it over, and let Xiaowen have a hot meal."
Sun Zhenhai was wise beyond his years: "Aunt, the hospital cafeteria is closer, with food suitable for patients. Our family really doesnât have time to make a special meal for Sister Xiaowen today; please go easy on my mom."
