I live in the countryside

Chapter 13 Persuasion, Consent to Surgery

After Qiao Churan came back, Chen Mei hadn't rested yet. Seeing her coming back so late, she couldn't help but mutter: "It's almost twelve o'clock, why did you come back? It's dangerous for a girl to come back so late at night, you know?"

To put it in the village, everyone has already gone to bed by now.

Qiao Churan smiled and said, "Mom, why don't you go to bed? Normally, you should rest at this meeting. It's okay. It's like this in the city. There are still many people outside now. It's more lively than during the day, and there is no danger."

Chen Mei was still nagging, Qiao Churan knew that she couldn't change her perception for the time being, so she had to promise not to come back so late in the future, and then went to wash up.

The next day, before going to see a doctor, Qiao Churan told Chen Mei to go for a walk in the nearby park downstairs if she had nothing to do, and she took her bag and went out.

In the afternoon, Qiao Churan came back from the outside. Chen Mei was also at home, watching TV. It was news about child abduction. Chen Mei burst into tears.

"These human traffickers who kill thousands of knives are going to go to hell for doing this kind of human trafficking?"

Qiao Churan put the bought vegetables and fruits in the kitchen, and when she came out, Chen Mei was still watching TV and scolding the trafficker.

She suddenly remembered what Gao Tingting said last night.

After dinner at night, Chen Mei was still watching TV.

Qiao Churan's TV here is a smart network TV set left by the landlord. Chen Mei doesn't know how to use it. After turning on the remote control, she can only watch national news and local channels. After Qiao Churan cleaned up the kitchen, she also sat down and picked up the The remote changed the TV channel.

Chen Mei didn't have much obsession with watching TV at first, so she naturally let her daughter control it.

I saw Qiao Churan clicking on the remote control, and I don't know what he did. As soon as the TV screen changed, it became another news.

Qiao Churan put down the remote control: "Look at this."

Also a news report.

Chen Mei watched TV, a little absent-minded. She wanted to persuade Qiao Churan not to go to the hospital to see a doctor tomorrow. Anyway, she would not have surgery after watching it, and it was a waste of money.

It's just that before she could speak, she was attracted by the events reported in the news.

The report was about a piece of medical news, an old man who had injured his leg, because he refused to be treated, the minor injury turned into a serious injury, and the serious injury turned into a death, resulting in paralysis of his left leg, unable to walk, and having to endure the pain for life , and need the care of their children, they can only spend their days in bed in their later years, and cannot enjoy the family happiness of children and grandchildren around their knees.

Chen Mei was fascinated by watching it, and she still didn't forget to comment: "This person is also stupid. If he had treated his leg injury well at the beginning, how could he have reached such a point, let alone unable to hold his grandson. He is only in his 60s, and he has to lie in bed until he dies." If he can live to be 80 years old, he will have to lie in bed for 20 years, how can he bear it."

Chen Mei is a farmer, and she feels uncomfortable all over her body after being idle for two days. Thinking about lying in bed for 20 years, it is simply unbearable.

When Qiao Churan heard this, she pointedly said: "Isn't it? A minor illness can become a serious illness if it is not cured, and a minor injury can become a major injury if it is not cured. It's not like the family can't treat it without money. This old man just thinks it's a minor injury. It's just a fall, everyone will fall, how come others are fine, but you are fine, if you always take chances and refuse to listen to the doctor, who knows what will happen in the future? Mom, don't you think so? "

Chen Mei was about to respond, but after thinking about it carefully, she finally came to her senses and felt unhappy: "The co-author is waiting for me, teaching me."

Qiao Churan laughed out loud, "Mom, how can I educate you, isn't this what you told me?"

Chen Mei was speechless for a while: "Can I be in the same situation as that old man?"

Qiao Churan peeled an orange and gave it to Chen Mei: "It's the same, but the old man broke his leg and thought it was a trivial matter, so he followed the folk prescriptions and used drugs indiscriminately, but it didn't cure him, and he delayed the treatment time, which led to the following problems." Big problem, Mom, you also think that your back disease is a trivial matter, and people who work a lot are like this, but they don’t know, you have this kind of mentality, just like that old man.”

"You girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone in this village is like this, and no one has a back injury, it's all the same!"

Qiao Churan's tone was still gentle: "Headaches can be divided into fever or insomnia, stomach pains can be divided into diarrhea or gastrointestinal problems, waist injuries involve bones, invisible, each has its own reasons, Mom refuses to treat now, It's nothing more than a waste of money, but it's nothing to spend money now. If there are really big problems in the future, it will be a big deal. Let me put it in a bad way. Can you hug your grandson?"

"Bah, bah, bah! Let's talk about the good and the bad!" Chen Mei was upset.

Qiao Churan sat down and hugged Chen Mei's arm affectionately: "Mom, I said before that medical expenses are not a problem. Think about it carefully. If it is really delayed, like the old man in the news, what can I do?" Do it, you don't think it's hard work, I will work hard for you."

What Chen Mei is most worried about is how many children there are in the family's fields. If Qiao Churan persuades her, she is still stubborn and uncertain, but when she thinks about children, thinking of Ranran or Ayao getting married and having children in a few years, if she I don't know how regretful I am that I can't even hold my grandson because of my waist injury.

She saw that many sisters-in-law of the same generation in the village had become grandma or grandma, and she did not know how envious she was.

Seeing that Chen Mei fell silent, Qiao Churan knew that this method was effective, and she was a little happy in her heart, but she still said very calmly: "Mom, think about it carefully, what is more important, and the money spent can be earned back. There is really no way to save the injured body, and maybe the money for the nurses and medicines will be more in the future than the surgery now.”

Chen Mei thought about it all night, and the next day, although she spoke a few words stiffly, she and Qiao Churan went to the hospital to see the doctor from the day before yesterday.

It just so happened that the film came out, allowing Chen Mei to see the condition of her back disease more clearly than the day before yesterday. The doctor knew her worries, and while Chen Ming was concerned, he also persuaded her to have the operation as soon as possible.

"I have encountered a lot of situations like yours. Many patients think it is not a big deal. They don't know that if they miss the treatment time, once it gets worse, it will be difficult to deal with later. They can only lie in bed and suffer from pain every day. Can't sleep."

"Compared to others, the cost of this operation is not high. After the operation, follow-up rehabilitation is not expensive. As long as you pay attention to rest, it is already very cost-effective. If you miss the treatment because of money, you will spend another 10,000+ later. They may not be able to save them.”

The doctor is an old doctor, and I have seen many patients like this, especially the patients from rural areas who come to the city to see a doctor. Most of them give up treatment because of money.

Chen Mei was naturally still hesitant.

The doctor shook his head: "Think carefully. You see, your daughter is still so young. If she gets married and has children in the future, she won't even be able to hug her grandchildren. By then, there will be no medicine for regret."

These words hit Chen Mei's heart again.

Qiao Churan was not in a hurry either. After taking Chen Mei out of the doctor's office, she didn't leave the hospital immediately. Instead, she took Chen Mei for a walk around the hospital.

The No.1 civilian hospital in the provincial capital is a large hospital, with many people in the inpatient department and rehabilitation center.

Qiao Churan took Chen Mei to the hospital, and let her see a person moaning in pain on the bed because of a bone injury.

The severe pain in the hospital can most arouse people's awareness of survival. Chen Mei looked at those people who were moaning because of the pain of back pain, and she was silent all the way until she returned home, still silent.

Qiao Churan didn't dare to say much at this time, so she had to let Chen Mei think about it. If she still couldn't figure it out, she had to think of a way.

However, she thought that Chen Mei would need a day or two. Unexpectedly, when she came back from shopping outside in the evening, after Chen Mei helped cook dinner, at the dinner table, she said, "Ranran, do you think Mom really deserves it?" Surgery?"

Qiao Churan paused while holding the chopsticks, "Mom, let's cure whatever is wrong with your body. After it's cured, everything will be fine in the future. If you want to go to the field, go to the field. I want to take you and my dad to the field in the future." For travel, I will take you to Beicheng to have a look. If you are unable to do anything due to some physical problems, you are not happy, and I am not happy either. At that time, think about it, it is your children who will suffer and suffer. You used to always say that you will never drag us down when you get old."

Chen Mei scolded: "I think you are just lazy, and you don't want to care about me and your dad in the future."

"Didn't I repeat what you said?" Qiao Churan complained and dissatisfied.

Chen Mei laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, what Mom listened to you is, you have to do the surgery, I'm thinking that if you can't even hold your child because of the back injury in the future, it's thanks to you."

Qiao Churan was overjoyed: "That's great, you should have thought so earlier."

But Chen Meiqiao said: "However, you can't use the money for the operation. Let me tell you the truth. Your father and I still have a little savings, and there is another [-] that is fixed. It must not be fully spent. I am thinking about it." Then borrow some more from your uncles and aunts, you just borrowed eight thousand from your sister-in-law, this time I have an operation, I absolutely can’t use yours again, if you pay one or two thousand, mom can accept it, and nothing else will work!”

"Mom, I have money..." Qiao Churan wanted to explain, "Besides, didn't I send you money every month before?"

Chen Mei was very stubborn: "Although you give it to me every month, I saved it for you. When you get married, I will give you a dowry. Anyway, I can't use your money. Otherwise, I will never give you money for this operation." If you don’t do it, mom will use yours for everything, and if you run out, what else do you use?”

Qiao Churan pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "My boyfriend doesn't know where he is, so why marry?"

"What did you say?" Chen Mei dissatisfied.

Qiao Churan shrugged, but in the end she didn't argue with Chen Mei, "All right, all right, you have the surgery first, money is not a problem."

Chen Mei's health is a major issue, and uncles and aunts must be concerned about it. Qiao Churan firmly believes in this.

At worst, she will secretly return it to her uncle and aunt.

That night, Chen Mei called back and told Qiao Zongming about the operation. Qiao Zongming hesitated earlier because Chen Mei herself was not too happy, but if Chen Mei was willing to have the operation, even though his family didn't have much money, he would naturally agree. Yes, when I heard that Chen Mei wanted to borrow money, I immediately agreed and called Uncle Qiao tomorrow.

Chen Meiken underwent the operation to settle Qiao Churan's worries, and then made an appointment with the doctor for the operation, which will be next Tuesday.

Qiao Churan's uncle and second aunt have long been working in the city and have a family. Although they don't have much money, if Chen Mei needs money urgently, they can still borrow some money. Hearing about Chen Mei's operation, The next day, 2 yuan was transferred to Chen Mei's account.

Three days later, Qiao Zongming also collected 5000 yuan from Uncle Qiao. Uncle Qiao’s child was said to be going to primary school, so he couldn’t borrow the money, but Qiao Yuzhu remitted 2000 yuan to her after hearing about Chen Mei’s operation. , plus the six thousand that Qiao Churan insisted on adding in, it was considered enough for the surgery fee.

After queuing for two days, Chen Mei finally entered the operating room.
