32: 32 won’t live past three months
32: 32 won’t live past three months
Su Xiaofeng’s words successfully caught the attention of Grandma Wu and Zhang Jiaojiao.
Grandma Wu furrowed her brows, her tone rather unpleasant as she asked Su Xiaofeng, “Do you know Doctor Cheng?”
Doctor Cheng’s medical skills are renowned; there’s no one within ten miles who doesn’t know him.
Last time he came to treat my injuries, he diagnosed my pregnancy and everyone in ten miles around came to know about it,” Su Xiaofeng said helplessly, poking fun at herself.
She had already decided to raise her child alone and didn’t want to find a man; therefore, the matter of her pregnancy wasn’t something she felt needed to be concealed.
Zhang Jiaojiao’s lips trembled, whether from anger or something else, and she shouted, “Luo Yuzhu, what do you mean?
Didn’t you say no one knew about your daughter’s pregnancy?
What’s all this about?”
After saying that, her face turned ashen as she looked at Grandma Wu, “Mom, I don’t agree to this marriage.
Our family is not so desperate to find a bride.”
Even though Yifan was sick, with a more generous bride price, what kind of woman couldn’t be brought into the family?
Grandma Wu’s expression wasn’t too good either.
She originally thought that no one knew about Su Xiaofeng’s pregnancy and that since Xiaofeng had also miscarried, plus Yifan was ill, this marriage prospect didn’t seem too bad.
Now it appeared that if Yifan married Su Xiaofeng, he would be wearing a bright green hat every time he went out.
Grandma Wu looked coldly at Grandma Lin, “Erying, this mistake is on your part.
Su Xiaofeng’s pregnancy is common knowledge, and you still want to marry her off to our eldest?
What are you thinking?
Do you think just because our eldest is sick, he deserves to be cuckolded?”
With one problem after another, Grandma Lin’s mind was in complete disarray.
She glared fiercely at Luo Yuzhu, the good-for-nothing woman who only added to their troubles.
But at this moment, she couldn’t lash out at Luo Yuzhu and instead, plastering on a smile, she said, “Sister-in-law, Xiaofeng only arrived at the Lin Family this morning.
As soon as she did, Yuzhu took her here.
I’m not fully aware of some details.
How about we take Xiaofeng back with us first?”
“Get out, get out, leave right now.” An object was thrown to the ground, and with a loud crash, it shattered, “Everyone says I won’t last three months, what’s the use in seeing a doctor?
I won’t, get out, all of you get out.”
The voice sounded like a lion trapped in the mountains, suppressed and distressed.
Standing downstairs, Su Xiaofeng could just make out the dim outline of someone sitting in a wheelchair, their limbs skin and bones, not an ounce of flesh on them.
She could only vaguely see a silhouette, nothing more.
Three months, she hadn’t expected the eldest of the Wu Family to still have three months to live, longer than she had imagined.
Her gaze fell on Luo Yuzhu, but Luo Yuzhu seemed not to notice, her face turned away.
Zhang Jiaojiao, hearing the commotion upstairs, didn’t bother with Su Xiaofeng and her company, turning instead to ask Wu Ershun, “Ershun, what has happened to your brother?”
“Mom, my brother refuses to see a doctor and won’t let us come near,” expressed Wu Ershun helplessly.
“Eldest,” Zhang Jiaojiao quickly climbed the stairs.
“This is Doctor Cheng, a friend of Ershun’s and a doctor.
Open the door and let him come in to see you.
Eldest, who said you could only live for three months?
Our Yifan is going to live a long, healthy life.
Open the door, don’t be afraid.”
“You all go away, I don’t want to see any doctor, let me wither away on my own.” Wu Yifan slammed the door with a bang, and no further sound came.
Zhang Jiaojiao sighed helplessly, “Ershun, all the major hospitals have been visited, and I guess your friend here won’t be able to do much either.
Take him away with you.”
The doctors had given the eldest only three more months to live.
Wu Ershun, looking at the iron door on the third floor and his brother’s closed room, remained silent.
“Doctor Cheng, I apologize.
My big brother simply isn’t communicating with us,” Wu Ershun said, his lips pressed tightly as he looked at Doctor Cheng, “If you know someone with expertise in this area, please keep an eye out.”
Wu Ershun brought Doctor Cheng down from upstairs, and Doctor Cheng cast one more fleeting glance at Su Xiaofeng.
Su Xiaofeng lifted her head and gave him a gentle smile, as naturally as if they were good old friends.
Doctor Cheng, recalling the words he had just heard, and considering the current state of Wu Family’s eldest, couldn’t understand why Su Xiaofeng would want to marry into the Wu Family.
Driven by an inexplicable impulse, he blurted out without thinking, “Su Xiaofeng, are you heading back to Lihua Village?
Would you like to join me?”
After he spoke, he regretted it.
What Su Xiaofeng did, whom she married, was none of his business.
It wasn’t his place to meddle.
