Chapter 127 Sister, you're right

Gao Qinghe lied to her family.

She told her parents that her medical test results were not good, and the doctor suggested that she go to the city hospital for another check-up. She was a little scared and wanted her mother to accompany her.

But Huang Ying rushed to the county that very night, something Gao Qinghe never expected.

When Gao Qinghe saw her mother appear outside the compound gate late at night carrying a large bag of luggage, she was shocked and almost moved to tears.

She never imagined that she was so important to her mother.

The security guard was already asleep when he was suddenly woken up, and he was full of resentment.

He was thinking that once the person arrived, he would definitely give them a good scolding.

It turned out to be Gao Qinghe who came. Since she had accepted his gift, she only reminded her not to do it again and then asked her to take her mother, who was covered in sweat, home.

"Didn't I tell you there's no rush? You can just take the shuttle bus tomorrow morning!"

Gao Qinghe's complaining tone was full of heartache.

Gao Qingmiao and Gao Qingya, who had already fallen asleep, were awakened by the noise. When they saw Huang Ying standing in the living room, they thought they were dreaming.

After a while, the brother and sister suddenly remembered their mother's medical report, and their emotions instantly became a little overwhelming.

"Go to sleep!" Gao Qinghe snapped angrily.

The two quickly made their escape.

"Gao Qingmiao, you'll sleep on the sofa tonight," Gao Qinghe called out again.

Gao Qingmiao dared not object, hugged the quilt, lay down on the sofa, and pretended to be sleepy with her eyes closed.

Gao Qinghe put the thin blanket in her younger brother's room and said to her mother, who was following behind her anxiously, wanting to ask but not daring to:

"You'll sleep here tonight. Go to sleep quickly. It's so late, I don't know how you got here, what if something happened to you on the way?"

Huang Ying smiled, "It's not that easy for anything to happen. I got your call at noon, so I asked your dad to ask who was going to the city today. He asked several people but got no answer. He finally managed to catch one at the village entrance who was going to the countryside to buy pigs."

Hearing this, Gao Qinghe sniffed lightly; her mother seemed to have a strange smell.

Huang Ying patted her clothes. Although there were no pigs on the truck, it inevitably smelled a bit, but that didn't matter, since she wasn't dirty.

Just as I was about to go to bed, my daughter pulled me to wash my hands and feet.

Thankfully it's hot, so even cold water isn't too cold; otherwise, I'd have to boil water and go through all that trouble.

After cleaning the smell off her mother, Gao Qinghe finally let her go to sleep.

Huang Ying had been thinking about what kind of health problems Gao Qinghe might have on her way here.

Is it a worsening of hypoglycemia, or malnutrition?

Or are you unmarried and pregnant but embarrassed to say it?

It's impossible for him to have cancer. There's a family in the village who have some kind of cancer, and it looks really scary.

Her daughter is healthy and chubby, and doesn't look like she has cancer at all. If she does, it must be a misdiagnosis by the hospital.

Huang Ying arrived in the county town with trepidation, never expecting that she would be the one to be examined.

When Gao Qinghe pushed Huang Ying to sit down in front of the doctor, her mind was completely blank.

"No, isn't it you?"

The doctor glanced at Gao Qinghe, and the experienced doctor immediately guessed that the child hadn't dared to tell the patient the truth.

The doctor didn't say anything for the time being, but just gave me a prescription to take for another test.

Huang Ying followed her daughter to the radiology department in a daze. After the examination, even the tough girl had to walk out with tears in her eyes.

It hurts, it hurts so much!
Huang Ying held the most vulnerable part of her upper body, never imagining in her life that she would put it on a hot plate.

Looking up at her baby who was gazing at her with heartache, what else could she not understand?
"Tell me, do I have cancer?" Huang Ying asked frankly.

She has never been afraid of anything in her life.

If I had to say what I was afraid of, it would be that my three children would get sick or suffer from misfortune.

At that moment, Huang Ying even breathed a sigh of relief.

She really thought something had happened to her precious baby; it was good that nothing was wrong.

Seeing the relief on her mother's face, Gao Qinghe's eyes welled up with tears. She forced them back and gently said while holding her mother's arm, "It's just a suspicion. Because we're not sure, we need to come for a second checkup."

“I was afraid that Dad and Grandma would worry about you if they found out, so I told a little lie.”

Huang Ying nudged her daughter lightly with her elbow, but didn't scold her; she simply nodded and said:

"You did the right thing."

The mother and daughter smiled at each other, both firmly believing that whatever the outcome, they could handle it.

Huang Ying was more open-minded than Gao Qinghe. She learned about breast cancer for the first time from the doctor and listened very attentively.

He looked unhappy when he learned that he might not be able to drink alcohol anymore.

Gao Qinghe paid for expedited processing and received the test report the following afternoon.

A lump has been identified, but it was discovered early and is still very small, so it is very likely benign.

The doctor is going to prescribe some medicine for us to take home and take.

While Gao Qinghe and her mother breathed a sigh of relief, they still decided to go to the provincial hospital for another check-up.

"The city is fine. Didn't the doctor say that the city has the same equipment as the provincial capital?" Huang Ying didn't want to go through all that trouble.

Gao Qinghe insisted: "If we're going, we should go to a major hospital."

Huang Ying couldn't persuade her otherwise, "Then let's go, consider it a trip. I've never been to the provincial capital before."

Gao Qinghe saw through her mother's feigned nonchalance.

"I know you're scared too, don't pretend with me, we're mother and daughter, we know each other perfectly well."

Huang Ying almost slapped her. "You unfilial son! Don't I have any dignity?!"

"Call your dad first."

Gao Qinghe nodded: "Okay."

The fact that her mother was sick could not be hidden from her father, nor could it be kept secret. Fortunately, the outcome was good this time, so Gao Qinghe told him the truth.

Gao Chongyi was shocked. If Gao Qinghe hadn't been his first child and thus different from others, he would have rushed to the county town to beat up this liar.

"Is this something you can lie about? What if your mother..." He glanced at the gossiping aunt and the others, then swallowed his words.

"When you get back, I'll deal with you then!" Gao Chongyi said in a low voice, then softened his tone and asked, "Are you sure you can manage on your own?"

"I'm just going to get checked again. It should be fine. I can manage on my own."

Before hanging up the phone, Gao Qinghe said with a smile, "I'll have someone come to the house to answer the phone in a couple of days, Dad, remember to greet them."

"What?" Gao Chongyi wanted to ask what was going on, but the call ended abruptly.

When Gao Qinghe returned home, she grabbed Gao Qingya, who had just come back from the bookstore.

"Ya Ya, come here."

Knowing that her mother's lump was benign and would get better with medication, Gao Qingya was less worried.

The bookstore received a batch of translated foreign books, and since she now has pocket money from her older siblings, she couldn't resist buying two of them.

However, since Mom was still there, and I was afraid the adults would say I was wasting money, I secretly hid it in my thin cloth backpack.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, my older sister called me to a stop, and my mother was standing next to me.

The little girl suddenly felt even more guilty than a thief who had stolen money. She walked over with her chest hunched and her schoolbag tightly in her arms.

"What?" Gao Qingya asked, trying to appear calm.

Gao Qinghe gave her some money, saying, "Tomorrow, Mom and I will go to the provincial capital for another checkup. Go to the telecom company and get a phone line connected at home."

Gao Qingya exclaimed in surprise: "What?!"

She didn't even know which way the telecom company's main gate faced.

Gao Qinghe stuffed the money into her younger sister's arms, and deliberately touched the protruding corner of the books in her schoolbag.

"I'll be a high school student soon, and I can start taking care of things for my family."

Gao Qingya: "Sister is right."
