In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 367 Treatment
Yu Dawei smiled without saying a word; he really couldn't interfere in the relationship between He Huihui and Huang Man.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei chatted with Huang Ma for a couple more minutes.

Most of the talking was done by Huang Ma, and Yu Dawei could tell from listening that Huang Ma missed her son and even had plans to come to Northeast China.

Yu Dawei naturally welcomed this.

After the two hung up the phone, Yu Dawei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The back of Yu Dawei's red and yellow striped short-sleeved shirt was already soaked with his own sweat. No one knew how desperate he felt when he couldn't borrow enough money.

It felt like he was back when his youngest son was in junior high school. Because he had just divorced, he had given all his money to Han Jingfan, and as a result, he had no money to pay his youngest son's tuition.

He tried to borrow money everywhere, but to no avail. His wife went completely mad at that point, and she no longer cared whether their child could go to school.

The youngest son transferred from Hohhot to Qingcheng and can only attend a private school, where the tuition is 12,000 yuan a year.

In the end, he really sold everything he owned, but he was still short two thousand yuan! He even put aside all his dignity and went to borrow from his youngest son's maternal grandparents' house, his son's uncles, aunts... but they refused to lend him any money, citing their divorce.

The mother-in-law wanted to help, but she had already handed over the financial power to her eldest daughter-in-law, so she could only pat her grandson's head with tears in her eyes.

It was during Yu Dawei's most desperate and helpless moment that his aunt came to his rescue with two thousand yuan, finally helping him scrape together enough for his tuition.

Fortunately, this time was different from before. He met many people and gained a lot of friendships in his life.

"Feng'er, the surgery fee has been taken care of." Yu Dawei turned around and grinned at Da Feng: "The following surgeries will definitely be fine as well."

"Mmm." Yu Feng didn't say anything polite. She had seen all her brother's efforts and would repay him tenfold or a hundredfold one day.

----

The next morning, Yu Dawei went to see Professor Zhang again. Because he hadn't made an appointment, Dafeng and he stood at the door for a long time until the people inside went out for their examinations before they finally got a chance to go in.

Professor Zhang was somewhat surprised to see the brother and sister again. He had thought they would return to their hometown yesterday, since such a sum was not something an ordinary family could afford.

When Professor Zhang heard that Yu Dawei had decided to have surgery, he was surprised for a long time. However, a smile appeared on his face, as if the clouds had parted. After all, being able to choose surgery instead of going back to his hometown to wait for death is something that a medical professional would like to see.

However, this also put pressure on Professor Zhang, because Yu Feng's condition was one of the most difficult in his lifelong career of brain tumor research.

When brain tissue and tumors are too closely intertwined, the surgical risks are extremely high without the assistance of top experts and advanced equipment during removal.

"Okay, I'll prepare a medical record for you right now, and then I'll immediately go through the admission procedures and pay the relevant fees first." Professor Zhang started to take out paper and pen and write and draw on it. "After that, I will immediately contact the experts in the hospital to hold a seminar to discuss the specific surgical plan."

“Dawei, according to my plan, not only should the medical equipment be the most advanced, but I will also invite several brain tumor experts I know abroad to come to China to perform the surgery together.” Professor Zhang handed the completed medical record to Yu Dawei. “If the surgery is successful, I will share this surgery as one of the most authoritative cases in recent years. At that time, I will apply to the hospital to see if we can get a partial refund of the surgery fees.”

"Professor Zhang, thank you so much." Yu Dawei couldn't help but shake Professor Zhang's hand. "Do you have time tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner with Dr. Bo Xiao."

"Dawei, there's no need for dinner. You should take your sister to get her admitted to the hospital first. We can talk about everything else after the surgery is successful." Professor Zhang smiled and adjusted his black-rimmed glasses.

"Alright, then I'll get back to work and won't bother you any longer." Yu Dawei looked sincerely at Professor Zhang with his bright black eyes, placed his right hand on his younger sister's back, and together they bowed to Professor Zhang. "Anyway, thank you!"

"Oh, no need, no need, go ahead and get busy." Professor Zhang finally sat down in his chair, watching the brother and sister leave his office with a smile.

Deep down, he actually quite liked the two children.

Yu Dawei, the eldest brother, is about the same age as his son, yet he brought his sister from Northeast China to the capital for medical treatment all by himself. His courage and determination are truly admirable.

Moreover, he is very capable; even he, an old professor, considers the 500,000 yuan surgery fee to be an astronomical sum.

However, the severity of Yu Feng's condition meant that not everyone was willing to take on the case. Only he, a veteran doctor who had been immersed in the field of brain tumors for two or three decades, had a little bit of confidence.

If this were any other hospital, they would probably have refused to admit him. "Professor Zhang, I just saw Yu Dawei and his sister in the hallway." A short-haired woman in a white coat, smiling brightly, opened the door and walked into the office. "He's decided to have his sister operate?"

“Yes, I just opened a medical record for his sister. We’re going to have her hospitalized for observation first. I’m also planning to cancel some academic research to start preparing for the surgery.” Professor Zhang looked at the girl with a smile. “Xiao Bo, are you still single? I think Yu Dawei is a pretty good guy. Although he’s a few years younger than you, he’s steady, responsible, and has a strong sense of duty. He’s really good. He didn’t even flinch at the 500,000 yuan surgery fee.”

“Oh dear, Professor Zhang, he’s already married and has kids. Why would I get involved? No matter how handsome he is, I can’t be his mistress.” Bo Xiaozheng explained helplessly, then suddenly paused, looking shocked, and asked, “How much is the surgery? I remember brain tumor surgery only costs around 100,000 yuan. What’s wrong with his sister?”

Although Bo Xiao was a gynecologist upstairs, she still had some knowledge of the brain tumor surgery situation downstairs, since they saw each other frequently.

Didn't those two tell you?

“No, he just told me he wanted to treat me to dinner that night and that he was going to arrange for his sister to be hospitalized.” Bo Xiao was shocked.

These days, it's quite unbelievable that a brother could spend 500,000 yuan on his sister. The problem is, she heard from Wang Zhuo that Yu Dawei is just a small repair shop owner in a small town. Where would he get so much money?

Could it be that Wang Zhuo borrowed it? This brat might be smitten! I'll have to ask her about it later!
She still didn't understand how a surgery could cost 500,000.

"Sigh. Yu Dawei probably didn't tell you that Yu Feng's brain tumor has reached the stage of a grade 4 malignant tumor. You should know what that means." Professor Zhang took off his glasses, got up, and poured himself a glass of water.

"Level four?!" Bo Xiao was shocked again. Level four... Is surgery even necessary in this situation?

It's like doing math problems. Originally, the exam was just about linear equations in one variable, and the person answering the questions was a middle school math teacher who was a professional math teacher. But on the day of the exam, all the math problems on the test paper were changed to advanced calculus from a university level.

Even a middle school math teacher might not be able to handle it; it's not just difficult, it's extremely difficult.

Professor Zhang watched as the hot water from the thermos slowly flowed into the porcelain cup: "Fortunately, these brother and sister came to the right place. If they had gone to other hospitals in our city, I doubt anyone would have dared to sign the consent form for their surgery."

"Actually, I'm quite worried too, and I'm not entirely confident. So I plan to invite a few brain tumor experts I know abroad to come over. If it's successful, we'll share it as a classic case from our hospital." Professor Zhang picked up his water glass and smiled. "The publicity effect will definitely be excellent."

"Sigh, how could Yu Feng's illness be so serious? She's so beautiful... It's such a pity." When Bo Xiao first saw Yu Feng, he actually thought the girl was very beautiful.

It's not the kind of face that looks petty or small; it's a classic Eastern woman's face with long eyebrows, big double-lidded eyes, a straight nose, and lips that are just the right thickness and evenness.

She could simply stand there, change into a cheongsam from the Republican era, and be the epitome of a beauty from that period.

It's such a pity. He's in the prime of his life. I heard from his brother that he doesn't even have a girlfriend yet.

Suddenly, Bo Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Professor Zhang with a hint of teasing: "Professor, I remember your child isn't married yet, right? Look how pretty Da Feng is, why don't you let her be your daughter-in-law?"

“To be my daughter-in-law would be to ruin a good girl.” Professor Zhang thought of a certain unfilial son, and his face, which had been sunny just moments before, instantly turned gloomy.

Bo Xiao realized she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly changed the subject and exchanged a few pleasantries. She then offered to help take care of Yu Dawei and his sister before leaving in a hurry.

She was going to the first floor to run some errands because Yu Dawei was planning to have surgery, so she came to say hello to Professor Zhang. Unexpectedly, she ended up taking up some time while chatting with him.

On the other side, Yu Dawei and Dafeng had completed the hospitalization procedures, and from that moment on, money began to flow like water. Because of the special nature of the cancer patient, the hospital arranged an air-conditioned room for them.

The temperature in Kyoto has already reached 30 degrees Celsius, and the next few days will be sunny and even hotter. Without air conditioning, patients will feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it wasn't a single room, but a four-person room; otherwise, a single room might have been more expensive. There was no definite answer yet about how many days they would stay, so Yu Dawei figured he should try to save as much money as possible.

Moreover, letting Dafeng interact with other patients might help her resolve her inner conflicts.

After completing the hospital admission procedures, Yu Dawei went out to buy some daily necessities commonly used in the hospital for Dafeng.

Washbasins, slippers, toothbrushes and toothpaste, towels for washing, etc.

Yu Dawei went outside and bought a lot of things from a relatively cheap street vendor. When he returned to the ward, he happened to see Dr. Bo Xiao sitting by the bedside, chatting with Da Feng.
