Chapter 70: The Xiao Family Meeting
Old Man Xiao smiled and said, "You don't have to comfort me, my body, I know it myself!"
But Xiao Sheng suddenly glanced at Secretary Huang and said, "Grandpa, there is a very important matter, I want to take this opportunity to have a family meeting!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jun, Xiao Jin and several other second-generation children of the Xiao family were stunned, they didn't know what happened to Xiao Sheng, he was so mysterious and secretive, and he had to hold a family meeting.
You must know that all the people sitting here, except for Secretary Huang, are all from the Xiao family, so that means that Xiao Sheng's words are not for Old Man Xiao, but for Secretary Huang.
Secretary Huang has served him by Old Man Xiao's side for four or five years, and he can be regarded as a descendant of the Xiao family, and she generally does not shy away from her about anything in the Xiao family, and Xiao Sheng is a little rude when he talks like this as a junior.
However, Secretary Huang didn't take it to heart, glanced at Xiao Sheng, and said with a smile: "Old man, then you talk first, and I'll go out and get some boiling water to come in." ”
Xiao Jun said, "Secretary Huang, you wait!"
Then he turned his head to look at Xiao Sheng, and said angrily: "Sheng'er, what are you doing? No big or small, who is Secretary Huang, and what is there in our Xiao family that can't be said in front of her? If there is something, just say it directly! Secretary Huang is not an outsider!"
Xiao Sheng smiled helplessly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything anymore, took the apple that Xiao Jie had peeled on the table, cut a small piece with a fruit knife, handed it to Old Man Xiao's mouth, and said, "Grandpa, eat an apple!"
Seeing Xiao Sheng's attitude, Xiao Jun said angrily: "You ......"
Old Man Xiao took the apple handed by Xiao Sheng, but he didn't put it in his mouth, but said: "Jun'er, you shut up for me! People in their forties, they are still so easy to get angry, they don't know how to restrain their emotions, Sheng'er, he is your son, and he is not someone else, what does he have to say, let's just listen, why are you throwing such a big temper at him? I don't think you can resist Sheng'er!"
After speaking, Old Man Xiao turned his head and gave Secretary Huang a look, and Secretary Huang walked out of the ward.
Old Man Xiao put the small half apple in his mouth and said with a smile: "Sheng'er, if you have anything to say, grandpa listen!"
Seeing that Xiao Jun was reprimanded by Old Man Xiao and his face turned red, Xiao Jin and the others all gave him a comforting look, but Xiao Xu and Xiao Jie couldn't help but let themselves laugh.
There's no way, who made them, an uncle, have such an impulsive personality, and they deserve to be reprimanded by the old man.
Xiao Jun seemed to feel that he had lost face in front of his son, and said, "What do you have to do, can you talk about it now?"
Xiao Sheng said: "Grandpa's condition, according to the doctor's judgment, can last for more than three months at most, and all doctors believe that grandpa's condition has reached the stage of incurable, so conservative treatment is recommended, that is...... Let grandpa lie on the hospital bed and wait for death!"
Hearing this, Old Man Xiao's face changed slightly, and so did several second-generation children of the Xiao family, all of whom changed their faces, and couldn't help but think in their hearts, Xiao Sheng usually does things steadily, why is his speech suddenly not light and heavy at this time.
Xiao Jun shouted: "Presumptuous! How can you talk in front of your grandfather?"
Although he knew that Old Man Xiao would not live long, this kind of thing was still a bit serious to say in front of Old Man Xiao.
I saw that Old Man Xiao glanced at Xiao Jun and said, "What are you yelling at?
Xiao Sheng said: "Grandpa, a few days ago, my second brother and I met a person, that person also knew about Grandpa's condition, he said that it can be treated, although he has no way to cure Grandpa completely, but there is no problem in extending Grandpa's life for three or five years!"
"So, I think that since things have come to this point, we might as well let him give it a try for you, but no one can say for sure about this kind of thing, and once it fails, I think it may be a great risk to grandpa, so I want to discuss it with you and listen to your opinions!"
Hearing that someone could extend Old Man Xiao's life span for three or five years, everyone present was surprised, and Xiao Jun asked, "Is there really such a thing?"
Everyone was a little excited in their hearts, if they could extend the life of Old Man Xiao for three or five years, then their Xiao family would be fully prepared to resist the opponent's suppression in the past few years.
Xiao Sheng said: "This is indeed the case, and the second brother also knows about it!"
Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Xu and asked, "Xiao Xu, what's the matter?"
So Xiao Xu told everyone about Zhang Qian.
When everyone heard this, Zhang Qian was not yet twenty years old, and the hope in his heart was suddenly disappointed, Xiao Jun said to Xiao Sheng: "Nonsense! Xiao Xu is young and ignorant, and you are not sensible with him?"
Xiao Sheng said: "We might as well call him over and let grandpa take a look first, what if it's true?" Of course, how to deal with this matter still has to listen to grandpa's opinion!"
Old Man Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "You say, the other party is just a young man who is less than twenty years old, is he sure that he can delay my condition?"
Xiao Sheng nodded.
Xiao Jin said on the side: "You don't need to call to see, I also know that Zhang Qian, it is the son of Xiao Xu's mother's best friend, only eighteen or nineteen years old, he just came to Wuzhou to go to university, what ability can he have to treat the old man's disease?"
Xiao Xu retorted with a dissatisfied face: "Dad, Brother Qian is very powerful, he shouldn't lie to us! Think about it, what good is it for him to lie to us, if he is really not sure about treating his grandfather's illness, he will be in trouble as soon as he comes, and he may even get into trouble, why should he do this?"
Xiao Sheng also nodded on the side and said: "My thoughts are the same as that of the second brother, Zhang Qian doesn't need to lie to us, what's the benefit of doing this? So, I think it's better to call him over to take a look, don't let him treat grandpa first, and then see the situation, anyway, there is no loss to us, if it can really be cured, then wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Old Man Xiao nodded and said, "Does that Zhang Qian know that in the process of treatment, if he misses, what will be the consequences?"
Xiao Sheng said: "He knows this very well, so I have some hope for him, and in the process of talking with him, I have also observed him, his words and deeds, and demeanor are very calm, not like an ordinary young man, even in front of me, can still talk and laugh!"
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Xu again and said, "The second brother is more familiar with him, I think the second brother should know him better!"
But when he saw Xiao Jin on the side, he suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Xu, how did Zhang Qian know about your grandfather's condition?
Xiao Xu shook his head and said, "No, it was Brother Qian who took the initiative to mention it to me! I also wonder in my heart, how could Brother Qian know about Grandpa's illness being so secret?"
