Recently, Zhou Lezhi's condition has become more and more serious, and she is less than ten years old and lying in a small bed like a protective shield.

At the head of the bed is a professional air filter, and a shelf is erected outside, covered with a transparent plastic curtain, trying to isolate all germs from the outside world, like a miniature sterile laboratory.

In the protective shield, Lezhi, who had been shaved down, was lying quietly inside, and Jiang Yurou felt extremely heavy every time she went to visit.

This time is the most serious recurrence of Zhou Lezhi's leukemia, the tumor cells are multiplying every day, she can only be forced to undergo rounds of high-intensity chemotherapy, and the original fleshy little face has now become sunken.

In order to check how much the tumor cells in Zhou Lezhi's body have increased during this period and whether there are any mutations, the doctor will regularly do bone puncture for her, that is, use a long puncture needle to penetrate vertically from his small body, pass through the periosteum, hit the bone, and extract a small part of the bone marrow.

This process was extremely painful, and every time he did it, Zhou Lezhi would curl up in pain and scream in pain.

But despite the pain, Zhou Lezhi still endured and cooperated with the doctor, and endured the beads of sweat on his head.

Jiang Yurou was so distressed several times that she hid aside and cried, not to mention Zhou Ming, he hadn't closed his eyes since Zhou Lezhi's illness recurred, his eyes were red and swollen into walnuts, and he looked embarrassed.

On this day, the doctor talked to Zhou Ming about Zhou Lezhi's condition, the situation is not optimistic, and a bone marrow transplant needs to be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise the time will drag on for a long time, and even Hua Tuo will not be able to save Lezhi if he is alive.

"Bone marrow transplant?" After hearing the news, Zhou Ming was a little shocked, he didn't expect it to be so soon, and at the same time he was vaguely worried, because there were few successful cases in the world.

"Well, that's the only life we can get for Fun." The doctor nodded and said, "If we find a suitable match later, we will notify you as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Ming was silent for a long time and said, "So, how sure are you of this operation?" ”

"It's hard to say." The doctor replied.

Zhou Ming didn't say anything, just nodded.

He had made a brief estimate before, and the cost of a bone marrow transplant would cost at least 100,000 yuan, but now he only has 100,000 yuan in his whole body, where should he raise the rest of the money?

Zhou Ming rubbed his hair in annoyance, and then left the hospital.

Jiang Yurou had already cooked a meal at home, and was going to send it to the hospital in person, but Zhou Ming came back.

Zhou Ming's face didn't look very good, Jiang Yurou wanted to ask, but she was afraid of stimulating him, so she didn't ask anything, but silently took out the soup in the pot.

Zhou Ming walked over and helped her serve the food together, but at the same time noticed that her hand was burned with a blister, and her brows suddenly furrowed: "Why are you so careless?" ”

Jiang Yurou smiled, shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just that the oil came out when I was stir-frying just now, and I rinsed it with water as soon as possible, and now it doesn't hurt." ”

"Be careful later."

Jiang Yurou's heart warmed when she heard this, and she said in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

During the meal, Zhou Ming became more silent than usual, he sat there alone and ate, his eyes looking at the rice in the bowl, but his mind was not on it at all, but he was thinking about something in a daze.

Jiang Yurou wanted to speak several times, but she stopped talking.

It wasn't until after eating that Zhou Ming took out his mobile phone and started making calls that Jiang Yurou finally knew what was going on.

Before the phone was called, the other party immediately hung up the phone as soon as he heard that it was to borrow money, but Zhou Ming did not give up, and continued to call from another number, he didn't believe it, and no one was willing to lend him money.

But this is the case, as soon as these relatives heard that they were borrowing money, they found all kinds of excuses to shirk it, and some even scolded them directly, and did not give any affection.

Jiang Yurou has lived in a happy family since she was a child, where has she seen such a scene, in her cognition, relatives should help each other, but now it is like this.

In the end, all the calls were made, and no one was willing to borrow money, Zhou Ming put down the phone weakly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yurou: "Yurou, do you think that I am a very failed person, and I can't even make up my sister's medical expenses." ”

"No, it won't." Jiang Yurou walked over and hugged Zhou Ming gently: "You are already great, if it were me now, I would definitely be in a hurry and didn't know what to do, you have to believe in yourself." ”

"Yurou, do you regret it?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Regret what?"

"Regret following me."

Jiang Yurou was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I don't regret it." ”

This night, the two hugged each other and slept together, which was also the first time Zhou Ming showed his fragile side in front of Jiang Yurou.

After Zhou Ming went out the next day, Jiang Yurou took her bank card to the bank and checked the balance inside, which was less than 50,000 yuan.

But Jiang Yurou still took it all out without a trace of hesitation.

When Zhou Ming came back in the evening, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the cash in front of him.

"Yurou, what are you doing here?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Well, I took all the money out." Jiang Yurou said: "Isn't Rourou in urgent need of money for treatment now, and you don't have to have a psychological burden, these will be regarded as I borrowed you." ”

"You gave me all the money, so what are you going to do?" Zhou Ming knew that Jiang Yurou had no contact with her family at all now, and the money was all earned by herself.

"I don't have you, now that my money is given to you, I will have to rely on you to support me in the future!" Jiang Yurou half-jokingly.

"But."

Jiang Yurou directly interrupted him: "Don't do it, it's the key to treat Lezhi now." ”

"Okay, thank you Yurou."

Jiang Yurou smiled and said, "Don't be polite to me, when you have money in the future, don't let me down." ”

"Okay." Zhou Ming nodded and agreed: "In the future, my money will be in your hands." ”

Jiang Yurou laughed wildly when she heard this, and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You are really a fool!" “

Zhou Ming also smiled, but did not deny what she said.

With the 50,000 yuan given by Jiang Yurou, plus his savings over the years and some money scattered recently, there are now about 180,000 yuan.

But this is far from enough, because Zhou Ming went to ask the doctor, and the doctor asked him to prepare 300,000 first.

But Zhou Ming didn't tell Jiang Yurou about it, because Jiang Yurou hadn't had a good life during the time she was with him, and he didn't want to put pressure on her anymore.

Now Zhou Ming has to work hard every day to make money, and he has to contact the bone marrow everywhere, which makes him very anxious.
