Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 791 Tumor!

"Are the family members of Yan Bugui in bed 13 here?" Around 7 a.m., a nurse walked into a ward at the People's Hospital, glanced at everyone in the ward, and asked with a very serious expression.

Yang Ruihua, who was sitting in front of the hospital bed, immediately stood up when he heard the nurse's question and hurriedly asked, "Nurse! I am a family member of the patient in bed thirteen. May I ask what you need me for?"

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's words, the nurse glanced at Yan Bugui lying on the hospital bed and said to Yang Ruihua, "Patient's family! The patient's test results are in. Dr. Zhang wants you to go to his office. You'll know the details when you see Dr. Zhang."

Upon hearing the nurse's explanation and learning that the doctor wanted to see her, Yang Ruihua felt extremely anxious and flustered. She nervously asked the nurse, "Nurse! Do you know why Dr. Zhang wants to see me?"

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's words and thinking of Yan Bugui's condition, the nurse said to Yang Ruihua with a sympathetic tone, "Family member of the patient, Dr. Zhang wants to talk to you about the patient's condition. You will understand the specifics when you see Dr. Zhang."

Upon hearing the nurse's words, Yang Ruihua's already anxious heart instantly turned into one of extreme unease. Her voice trembled as she asked the nurse, "Nurse! Where is Dr. Zhang's office? I'll go find him right now."

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's question, the nurse immediately explained, "Patient's family member! The doctor's office is right outside, next to the nurses' station. Dr. Zhang will be making his rounds soon, so you'd better hurry over!"

Upon hearing the nurse's words, Yang Ruihua immediately said to Yan Bugui, who was also very nervous, "Honey! I'll be right back."

With a nervous heart, Yang Ruihua quickly arrived at the doctor's office. She saw Dr. Zhang sitting at his desk reviewing medical records and immediately walked over to him, asking anxiously, "Dr. Zhang! I'm a family member of the patient in bed 13. I heard from the nurse that you wanted to see me?"

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's question, Dr. Zhang put down the medical record in his hand and said to Yang Ruihua with a solemn expression, "The examination report for bed 13 is out. According to our examination results, the patient has a tumor in his stomach and needs to have surgery immediately to remove the tumor."

Yang Ruihua didn't understand what a tumor was, let alone how Yan Bugui could have a tumor in his stomach. But when Dr. Zhang said surgery was necessary, Yang Ruihua's heart skipped a beat. She stammered as she asked Dr. Zhang, "Dr. Zhang! What... what is a tumor? How... how could something like this grow in my... my husband's stomach?"

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's words and seeing that the other person was trembling with nervousness, Dr. Zhang quickly explained to Yang Ruihua, "The family member of the patient in bed thirteen, the tumor is a new growth formed by cell proliferation. It looks like a lump of flesh and is caused by long-term improper diet."

Upon hearing Dr. Zhang's explanation, and remembering the doctor's mention of needing immediate surgery, Yang Ruihua immediately asked, "How much will this surgery cost?"

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's question, Dr. Zhang pondered for a moment before explaining earnestly, "For the family of the patient in bed 30, the surgery will cost approximately two to three hundred yuan. The subsequent treatment will require a substantial amount, the exact amount depending on the patient's recovery." Hearing that the surgery would cost two to three hundred yuan and the subsequent treatment would require a large sum, Yang Ruihua felt a pang of heartache and quickly asked the doctor, "Dr. Zhang! If we don't have surgery, is medication enough?"

When Dr. Zhang heard Yang Ruihua's question, he assumed that the patient's family couldn't afford the surgery and that's why they were unwilling to perform it. He replied with a very serious expression, "Family of the patient in bed thirteen, the patient has cancer. If the surgery isn't performed, the patient probably won't have much time left. I suggest you go back and discuss it with your children, and arrange for the patient to have the surgery as soon as possible."

Yang Ruihua didn't know what a tumor was, but she had heard of cancer and even knew that it was incurable. So when she learned that Yan Bugui had cancer, she felt like the sky was falling. She quickly nodded and replied, "Dr. Zhang! I'll go find my children now and discuss it with them, and then I'll give you an answer."

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's answer, Dr. Zhang subconsciously nodded, but did not forget to remind Yang Ruihua, "Family of the patient in bed thirteen, the patient's condition will worsen every day we delay. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible."

Yang Ruihua walked back to the ward with a heavy heart. Yan Bugui, who was leaning against the bed, saw Yang Ruihua's furrowed brows and immediately asked her, "Wife! What did the doctor say? What disease do I have?"

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's question, Yang Ruihua looked at Yan Bugui leaning against the hospital bed and replied with evasive eyes, "Honey! The doctor said there's a tumor in your stomach that needs surgery to remove. He told me to discuss it with the children."

When Yan Bugui learned that he needed surgery, his first thought wasn't how serious his illness was, but how much the surgery would cost. He immediately asked Yang Ruihua, "Wife! Did the doctor say how much my surgery will cost?"

When Yang Ruihua heard Yan Bugui ask about the cost of the surgery, and recalling what Dr. Zhang had said, she said with a heavy heart, "Honey! Dr. Zhang said the surgery will cost about two or three hundred yuan, and the cost of the follow-up treatment will depend on your recovery."

"What! The surgery costs two or three hundred yuan. I just fainted from anger and was hospitalized. How could they find out that I have a tumor in my stomach? Did the doctor make a mistake?" Yan Bugui was really shocked when he learned about the cost of the surgery and hurriedly asked Yang Ruihua.

Although Yang Ruihua was also heartbroken about the money, she chose Yan Bugui's life over the money. She quickly persuaded Yan Bugui, "Honey! Money can be earned back, but you only have one life. I'll go find Jie Cheng and Jie Fang now and tell them that you need surgery. Tell them to come to the hospital as soon as possible."

When Yan Bugui heard Yang Ruihua mention his son, an idea immediately came to his mind. He immediately instructed Yang Ruihua, "Wife! After you see Jie Cheng and Jie Fang, tell them to raise money immediately. I raised them all these years, and now it's time for them to repay me."
