Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

"Do it! Let's do this surgery today!"

Wang Xiaoxia's attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Zongzheng froze, then abruptly turned to look at Wang Xiaoxia.

His eyes were filled with utter shock and bewilderment.

He was internally ranting and raving.

How can this woman be so decisive and efficient, leaving him no room for maneuver?

Do you think you can just perform surgery whenever you want? Do you think we own the hospital?

Upon seeing this, the attending physician quickly intervened.

His expression was extremely serious, without a trace of joking.

"Ma'am, it's absolutely impossible for you to have surgery today."

"Hemorrhoid surgery may seem minor, but it is essentially a standard surgical procedure."

"There are strict procedures before the surgery; you must take laxatives to empty your bowels beforehand."

"At this point, there's simply not enough time to complete the preparation process."

After listening to the doctor's explanation.

Zongzheng's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, instantly settled down.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

See? I told you so!

Thankfully, I don't have to suffer like that today.

At least we escaped this immediate disaster.

But before he could completely relax...

The doctor suddenly changed the subject.

"However, I can help you connect with the proctology department."

"Ask the department if they can expedite the surgery tomorrow."

The sigh of relief I had just felt.

Zongzheng forcefully sucked it back into his throat.

He understood instantly.

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

He will most likely have no way of avoiding this absurd surgery.

Wang Xiaoxia nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.

"Dr. Xing, we'll follow your instructions."

"Arrange it as soon as possible, don't drag it out."

The doctor said no more and picked up the office phone.

They immediately made an internal call to the proctology department to quickly discuss bed availability and surgery schedules.

After a few brief words of communication, the doctor hung up the phone.

He turned to look at everyone and gave a clear answer.

"nailed it."

"Just go there later to complete the hospital admission procedures."

"We've reserved beds and surgical appointments for you."

Wang Xiaoxia nodded politely in thanks.

"Thank you for your concern, doctor. We'll be right there."

At this moment, Zongzheng's mentality completely collapsed.

I have completely resigned myself to my fate.

It's over... completely over!

There's really no escaping this wave.

He followed Wang Xiaoxia stiffly and mechanically, as if he had lost his soul.

He walked out step by step, without a trace of energy or spirit.

Zong Wen deliberately stayed until the end to wrap things up and express his gratitude.

He was very respectful and bowed deeply to the attending physician.

"Thank you so much, doctor. I'm so grateful for your help in clarifying the situation today."

After saying that, he took out a red envelope that he had prepared in advance.

She presented both hands to the doctor, wanting to express her gratitude.

The doctor waved his hand in refusal, his attitude firm and his adherence to professional ethics.

"No need, no need. Treating patients and making medical decisions is my job. I don't need these things."

After several more tug-of-wars.

Zong Wen did not press the matter and thanked him sincerely again.

He then quietly left the consultation room, closing the door behind him.

The consultation room fell silent instantly.

The doctor watched the group's departing figures, feeling deeply moved.

He sighed to himself.

This is yet another successful attempt to save a family from the brink of conflict.

Although he did not perform the surgery himself.

But at least it was the department he helped connect with, which averted the potential danger of concealing the illness.

Thinking about this, the doctor felt a little bit of anticipation.

I wonder if this family will send over a banner of appreciation later.

Hehe~ Thinking about it makes me a little happy.

He had absolutely no idea.

His well-intentioned help had directly pushed Zongzheng into a double predicament of social turmoil and a cold war within the family.

Outside the corridor.

Zongzheng followed behind Wang Xiaoxia, feeling immense pressure.

Wang Xiaoxia remained silent from the moment she left the consultation room.

There was zero communication throughout the entire process; it was a classic Cold War scenario.

Zongzheng's decades of experience told him this.

My wife is really angry right now.

And the consequences will be very serious.

He glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye.

They noticed that Zong Wen, Zhang Yifan, Tang Xiaonuan, and Shen Zhiyi were deliberately slowing down and following at a distance.

Actively give him and Wang Xiaoxia some space to be alone.

Anyone with common sense can see that the family is about to settle its internal conflicts.

Zongzheng's sense of crisis instantly surged.

He knew it in his heart.

If I don't take the initiative to save myself and salvage the situation...

Tonight, it's highly likely that things will really be completely ruined.

He quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to start a conversation, adopting a humble attitude.

"Wife..."

Wang Xiaoxia didn't stop walking and ignored his voice the whole time.

He continued walking forward with a blank expression.

Zongzheng was not giving up and reached out to grab Wang Xiaoxia's arm.

The moment her fingertips touched the sleeve, Wang Xiaoxia broke free.

They were repeatedly ignored and avoided.

Zongzheng's pent-up anger flared up instantly.

His mind was racing.

He spoke to her in a gentle and apologetic tone, bowing his head to admit his mistake.

The other party still acted as if they were ignoring them.

Do you really think he has no temper?

I'm a man from Shandong province, and I've never felt so humiliated in my life!

Today we must reaffirm the husband's authority and reassess our position within the family!

As soon as the idea came to mind, Zongzheng spoke up firmly on the spot.

"Wang Xiaoxia!"

After the shout, the corridor fell silent instantly.

Wang Xiaoxia suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

His tone was one of grievance and surprise.

"You...you yelled at me?"

Just these few words.

It instantly shattered all the momentum Zongzheng had just mustered.

Husband-son relationship?

nonexistent.

Men in Shandong Province love their wives the most!

Zongzheng immediately backed down, his change of expression as fast as turning the pages of a book.

Her tone softened instantly, and she hurriedly began to explain.

"Honey, I have to tell you..."

The conversation had only just begun.

Wang Xiaoxia interrupted him again.

She stared intently at Zongzheng, repeatedly pressing him for an answer.

"You're yelling at me?"

Zongzheng was stunned on the spot.

A tingling sensation ran down my back.

They've clearly spun their own cocoon and shot themselves in the foot.

He dared not delay any longer and quickly seized the opportunity to frantically defend himself.

"Honey, can we not have this surgery?"

"It's just hemorrhoids, it won't kill you at all."

"There's no need to go through the pain of this surgery."

"I'm at the most crucial stage of my career."

"If you have surgery and take too long to recover, you won't be able to go to work for an extended period."

"The leaders gradually forgot about me."

"At that time, the chances of promotion will be completely gone."

"If I get laid off by my company when I'm too old, my life will be completely over!"

He poured out his grievances with genuine emotion.

It vividly portrays the anxieties of middle-aged professionals.

Wang Xiaoxia took a deep breath.

My anger subsided considerably, and my emotions gradually calmed down.

She looked at Zongzheng, who had a worried expression, and spoke earnestly.

"Old Zong, I understand your concerns."

"But do you really think I know nothing?"

"This hemorrhoid has been bothering you for several years, and I've been watching it all along."

Zongzheng looked on with surprise.

How did you know?

Wang Xiaoxia spoke in an annoyed tone.

"nonsense!"

"Every time you go to the toilet, you scream in pain, and I can hear it all clearly from inside the house!"

"I'm having you undergo surgery not because I'm being spiteful and want to cause you trouble."

"I want to give you a permanent solution and get rid of this problem completely."

"Xiaowen and I never expected you to make a name for yourself in the workplace."

"We only wish you peace and good health."

"You can find another job if you lose it, and you can wait for another opportunity if you miss it."

"If your health collapses, you lose everything."

"Xiaowen is all grown up now, you don't need to work so hard to support the family anymore."

After hearing these words...

Zongzheng felt a warmth in his heart, and his soft spot was instantly touched.

I was just about to say something kind to ease the tension.

Wang Xiaoxia interrupted directly.

"Alright, enough with the sentimental stuff."

"We haven't moved on from the things you did: lying to me, faking illness to gain attention, and yelling at me just now."

"It's simple if you want me to forgive you."

"The doctor just found out that there's a shadow on your lung."

"From now on, I will quit smoking completely."

Zongzheng's pupils dilated on the spot, and his head buzzed.

Quit smoking?

This isn't punishment; it's practically taking half his life!

He immediately lowered his stance and begged for mercy humbly.

"Honey, can we change this request?"

Wang Xiaoxia remained resolute and showed no sign of wavering.

"Two choices, you choose."

"Either quit smoking, or quit me."

Zongzheng's vision went black, and he found himself in an extreme dilemma.

These multiple-choice questions are incredibly difficult.

He, Huang, will never forgive gambling and drugs in his life!

Smoking and drinking are the only pleasures left in life!

But on one side is a cigarette, and on the other is his wife.

There was simply no choice.

He knew exactly what was important and what was not.

It's just quitting smoking.

戒！

Zongzheng gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, forcing himself to make a statement.

"I'm quitting smoking! Starting today, I'm quitting smoking completely!"

The moment Zongzheng finished speaking.

Zhang Yifan, who was following not far away, suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.

[The host has completed the task.]
