Chapter 709: A Decision After Being Deeply Moved
In the darkest and most painful times, a person who has reached out to you will bring you the most sincere light.
Miss Salley suddenly remembered that she seemed to empathize with her own experience.
"Auntie, uncle can meet you such an understanding woman, it is also his luck, perhaps, you have been together for so many years, is the most sincere feelings, the plain long-term love is companionship, with the company of uncle, I believe that your illness will get better, you have to believe in yourself, but also believe in uncle. ”
Miss Salley felt like crying when she said this.
Uremia is not an ordinary condition.
It won't kill you right away, but it will cost a lot of money to treat, and insulin injections are absolutely indispensable.
However, the price of such drugs is generally high and cannot be afforded by ordinary families.
Therefore, the middle-aged woman said that her family had spent a lot of money in the past two years, and she could only choose to live in a small hospital like Hanhai Hospital, all to save money.
At this moment, Miss Salley deeply realized where the helplessness and guilt in the hearts of middle-aged women came from.
She didn't leave a child for a middle-aged man, and she was worried that after she died, the middle-aged man would be lonely.
In the past few years, in order to treat her, almost all the family's savings have been spent, and now I don't know if I can cure her disease, anyway, the middle-aged woman has decided, she doesn't want to continue treatment, her illness has brought a lot of trouble to the middle-aged man.
From the middle-aged man's gray hair, as well as calloused and rough hands, it is enough to see that the middle-aged man is doing some rough work, and his sunken eye sockets reveal a trace of exhaustion all the time, perhaps in order to treat his wife, he is physically and mentally exhausted.
Obviously, the middle-aged woman also saw the tiredness of the middle-aged man, she didn't want to continue to drag down her husband, maybe she thought so in her heart, as long as she passed away, her husband would have an easier life.
"Girl, thank you, I know my illness, if I drag it out, sooner or later I will bring him down, I have already dragged down a family, I don't want to drag him down anymore, he still has a lot of time, he shouldn't spend all his time on me. As she spoke, the middle-aged woman burst into tears, and her eyes were so soft when she looked at the middle-aged man's dark face.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. The honest middle-aged man kept gesturing his hands, as if to say, I don't care, no matter how much it costs, I will cure you.
Seeing the middle-aged woman crying, the middle-aged man panicked, and wiped the tears of the middle-aged woman with his own clothes, while the dignified and iron-clad man's eyes were moist, but he did not shed tears.
Perhaps in the hearts of middle-aged men, only when he is strong, his wife will feel more secure.
Miss Salley looked at the middle-aged couple in front of her who were so affectionate and friendly, and the insipid long-term affection was companionship, the companionship that never gave up, maybe this kind of love would exist among these ordinary people.
In the so-called noble circle, how many people can keep the purest feelings?
Some people are lost in the glamour, some people are tempted by some external beauties, how can they stay at home and accompany them through the best times, and gradually become old and yellow?
Whose cat doesn't steal? I often hear people say this.
But a man is not a cat, he is a living person with the most sincere feelings, not an animal without thoughts.
Even if it is an animal, their dedication to their companion is the purest.
"I've been dragging you down all these years, if one day I'm gone, you must live well, don't eat only one meal a day to save money, if you break yourself down because of this, I won't be blind underground. The middle-aged woman continued, always with a smile on her face, whether she was in tears or talking.
Miss Salley knew that it wasn't a forced smile, but a real smile of happiness.
Once upon a time, this kind of smile was also the only pursuit in his life.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
The middle-aged man kept trying to cover the middle-aged woman's mouth with his hand, not wanting her to continue, but the middle-aged woman removed his hand, raised her hand and tenderly stroked the middle-aged man's dark and mottled face, as if to keep this feeling in her heart forever.
"Auntie, you will definitely get better. Miss Salley's voice choked up.
Suddenly, Miss Salley regretted that she shouldn't have asked about the middle-aged woman's condition, let alone evoked the most difficult emotions between the two of them.
Maybe if she didn't say it, the middle-aged couple wouldn't be so sad.
It should be said that middle-aged women are not terminally ill, and they can sustain their lives for a long time with expensive drugs, at least not like some cancers, and they will die in a short period of time.
But again, given the opportunity to continue living, she couldn't afford it.
Families like her simply cannot afford such heavy treatment costs, or in other words, for the vast majority of families in China, the cost of uremia treatment is not affordable for ordinary people.
How many people have suffered from uremia because of their family members, and gradually dragged down a family, and the illness came like a mountain.
You can't blame the patient for anything, it's just that the disease is too cruel and takes away one family after another that should be happy.
Miss Salley knew that she could not help all the patients, but she was so moved by the affection of the middle-aged couple that she decided to help the middle-aged couple.
Such a happy couple should not be separated by heaven and earth because of the existence of illness, at least give them more time together.
It may be that the help provided by myself can only make the middle-aged woman recover for a while, sustain her life a little longer, and finally leave the world, but for their affection, no matter how much it costs, Miss Salley feels that it is worth it.
This is not a scam in the mall, nor is it a business transaction, but a little effort she is willing to make for such pure affection, in order to retain the little human innocence.
Aunt Yang, who was sitting next to Miss Salley, had long been crying, perhaps because she felt that the middle-aged couple was so emotional, and remembered her own misfortune, or perhaps she regretted that the middle-aged woman was tormented by illness, and she was about to die at such an age, and a good life was about to fall and sad.
"Okay, wipe your tears, a big man crying like this, it's making others laugh. The middle-aged woman wiped away the tears of the middle-aged man with the sleeve of the hospital gown, and no longer shed tears, and her soft and warm eyes were enviable.
Immediately, the middle-aged woman turned to Miss Salley and said, "Girl, I'm sorry to let you see the joke." ”
"No, Auntie, the relationship between you and your uncle is really good, I envy it, by the way, I know a charity, they specialize in providing free help to uremia patients, this is their consultation number, I think you can try, this can also reduce your burden, you can rest assured, the person in charge of that charity is also quite familiar, I will talk to him about your situation first, I believe they will help you." Miss Salley smiled and took out a pen and post-it note from her bag, wrote down a number, and handed it to the middle-aged woman.
"Really?" asked the middle-aged woman in surprise.
However, just a few seconds after showing a surprised expression, the middle-aged woman's face darkened, and she put the post-it note back in Miss Salley's hand, and said with a wry smile: "Girl, thank you in advance, I'm sick, I know what's going on, even if I use those expensive medicines, at most it will only last for a while, and this kind of institution won't pay attention to people like us." ”
"Auntie, you just go and try, besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your uncle, think about it, why does your uncle work so hard? It's not that I want to give you better conditions to treat the disease, as long as you can cure your disease, uncle he is willing to give everything, he didn't give up, how can you give up, just for the sake of your uncle, you have to persevere, I heard that as long as uremia is actively treated, and you pay a little attention to your daily life, there is a chance to be cured, anyway, you don't have much to do now, just try it, it's not too long, you say yes?"
Miss Salley persuaded her with all her heart, and the middle-aged man nodded desperately beside her, and Aunt Yang looked at her supportively, but the middle-aged woman finally nodded, and when she had time, she contacted the charity.
In fact, this charity does not exist, or rather, it has not yet been established, and after seeing the affectionate appearance of the middle-aged couple, Miss Salley set up a charity to help people who are unable to receive treatment because they are seriously ill.
When I was in Xiangjiang, in addition to setting up a charity for out-of-school children to return to school, there was also a charity with the theme of sending children home, with the purpose of helping children who were separated from their parents for some reason in various orphanages, and even who were abducted by traffickers and never found their families, to help them find their way home.
At the same time, Miss Salley has her own selfish desires, and she wants to fulfill a wish that has not been fulfilled before.
Seeing a family like a middle-aged couple suffering from illness, but ready to give up treatment and give up their lives because they can't afford the heavy cost of treatment, Miss Salley wonders if she should do something for them.
So, she decided that when she returned, she would let people start preparing, and she would help as many people as she could, if not everyone.
For middle-aged couples, if Miss Salley directly said that she was willing to subsidize the treatment costs of middle-aged women, it is estimated that middle-aged couples would not accept it, so Miss Salley can only use this way to reduce the psychological burden of middle-aged couples.
