Chapter 1811 Uncle's Illness
The next morning, Lin Xiuqing drove her uncle to the hospital for a medical check-up.
Ye Yaodong went to the sales office with Pei Guang and Ye Huimei. When they arrived, Director Zhang was already there.
They were pleasantly surprised to see Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong is a money god now. How could anyone not be surprised and happy to see him?
After that building was sold, he directly received a commission of one or two hundred thousand yuan, plus the commission from the sales office, which meant he could get a house for free.
These past few days he's been thinking about whether he should take the commission money and buy a house here, so he can be neighbors with the God of Wealth, and maybe even benefit from his good fortune in the future.
I was just hesitant because this neighborhood is too upscale and too expensive; it's a new neighborhood.
There's a residential community nearby that was a high-end community that was only sold to overseas Chinese a few years ago. You needed to have overseas Chinese status and foreign currency to buy it.
The two residential areas are next to each other, both are of a higher standard, and the newer one is more modern, so the prices are not cheap to begin with.
"Mr. Ye, good morning. I didn't expect you to still be in Shanghai. I thought you were busy in Zhoushan."
“I went back a few days ago and just finished up what I was doing. I came back yesterday to take care of things here. My sister and brother-in-law asked me to come along and take a look so they can give me some advice.”
"We've been running around for several days and have seen most of what we need to see. All they're waiting for is to decide on the size of the area they want."
Ah Guang said, "We've already discussed it and decided that we need two 110-square-meter units, and they don't need to be next to each other."
“That’s easy. Just pick one of the 110-square-meter units available, then have the salesperson calculate the price, and I’ll help you negotiate the price.”
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble at all, it's nothing. He's Mr. Ye's brother-in-law, so naturally he's a friend."
Ye Yaodong also said, "Could you also ask me when my contract will be approved and when I can sign it? I'll take care of things while I'm in Shanghai these few days, so I don't have to run around. I'm very busy."
"Okay, I'll go ask after I calculate the price."
After they went inside, they found a seat at the salesperson's invitation and then calculated the price.
Director Zhang also picked out a set around 100 and had someone calculate the price for him.
Ye Yaodong looked at him with a smile, "Director Zhang, you want to buy a set too?"
"Hehe, my grandson will be starting school soon, and we're a bit short of room. I was thinking we could do what you do and buy a place to keep in reserve, so he can move here to study when he starts school, where the educational conditions will be better."
"With so much money earned, we really need to improve our family's life and make our living space more comfortable."
Director Zhang nodded repeatedly, then cautiously asked, "I wonder when Mr. Ye plans to start renovations after acquiring the property... regarding the renovations..."
"Well, I have plenty of manpower, dozens of people, and some talented ones too. I'll call on a few to take over and do some simple renovations. I have plenty of other places to live, and I won't be living here. I'll just do some simple renovations and rent it out. When it's ready to be rented out, I'll have to trouble Director Zhang."
"Okay, sure. When you want to rent it out, just list it with me. I'll take care of it and make sure you find a place to rent it out. This is a great location; you can rent it out with your eyes closed."
Ye Yaodong nodded and waited with his legs crossed.
What happens next is none of his business; they negotiate the price and sign the initial order themselves.
His purchase contract was said to be pending further notice in two or three days, as the entire building was quite large and the contract might be a bit complicated.
We can wait, two or three days should be fine. Once things are done, we can come back to sign the contract.
Director Zhang was very decisive. He had someone calculate the price and negotiated it together. After reaching an agreement, they paid the deposit together.
After signing the important agreement to buy the house, A-Guang couldn't wait to return to Zhoushan.
"I plan to take a boat back to Zhoushan this afternoon, and if there are any fish collection boats docking, I will go out to sea with them."
"So rushed? Aren't you going to leave before the purchase contract is signed?"
“Just sign for Huimei, and put the house in her name. It’s the same. If I stay and wait, it will take a whole week, which is too much of a hassle.”
“I’ve never seen you in such a hurry before, but you’ve become so anxious as soon as your uncle mentioned that matter.”
"Isn't this because I want to prepare early? After all, it's only a little over a month. Please give me a heads-up when you get back. I'll leave after lunch."
"alright."
Ye Yaodong was busy with his own affairs in the afternoon and didn't have time to see him off. He only saw him and Ye Huimei off to their respective cars before saying goodbye to Director Zhang and going about his business.
Lin Xiuqing also accompanied the patient to the hospital for the entire day. The basic examinations were completed in the morning, while other examinations that required appointments were scheduled for the afternoon and the next morning.
The reports were partially released the following morning, and partially released the following afternoon.
However, the report from this morning was already quite bad. Not to mention hypertension, osteoporosis, chronic gastritis, arthritis, and rheumatism, the serious findings included a kidney tumor and a cerebral infarction, requiring further hospitalization for examination.
When the test results came out, not only was the uncle panicked, but Lin Xiuqing was also shocked and couldn't believe that there was such a serious problem.
Her parents and in-laws also have a lot of ailments, but they are mostly minor and common among middle-aged and elderly people, unlike her uncle, whose ailments sound frightening and potentially life-threatening.
My uncle's hands were trembling, he was at a loss, and his lips were quivering with panic.
Lin Xiuqing could only quickly reassure her, saying that perhaps the diagnosis was wrong, and that further examination should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis. She also asked the doctor to help arrange hospitalization.
After completing the formalities, she immediately called Ye Yaodong using the hospital's phone to explain the situation.
"...If you have time, come over for a bit. I saw him almost cry as soon as he lay down. I don't want to stay there, it's awkward, but I can't be alone either."
"Is it that serious? Have all the reports come out yet?"
"Not yet. I went there this morning to queue up and picked up yesterday's test results. I showed them to the doctor first. I've been admitted to the hospital now, and I'm just waiting for their notification before I get tested again."
"Then I'll be there in a bit."
"Should we call home and tell them?"
"I'll go there first and then we'll do a thorough examination to make a diagnosis, so that his family won't worry if it's a misdiagnosis."
Ye Yaodong had just picked up ten Jiefang trucks, but now he couldn't stay there any longer and took a car over to take a look.
He said he could definitely find the problem, but everyone thought they could handle it and wouldn't get better, not knowing if there was any cure.
Fortunately, it was discovered a few years earlier than in my previous life, so there might still be a cure.
He rushed to the hospital, where Lin Xiuqing was sitting by the bed waiting, watching the nurse draw blood again.
"how's it going?"
"After completing the hospitalization procedures, I have to undergo another round of tests. I had the tests done yesterday, and I have to do them again today."
My uncle also protested, "Isn't this ridiculous? We just had the tests done yesterday, and now we have to do them again today. It's not like we changed hospitals. They just gave us a report yesterday, and now we have to do another test. They're just trying to rip us off. I'm sure I'm not sick. This hospital is definitely messing things up. Let's go back and stop the tests."
Lin Xiuqing looked helpless. "Let's check it again to be more accurate. You said yourself, maybe we made a mistake? Let's check it again to be on the safe side."
My uncle kept muttering, "It's just a scam to rip people off. Who checked and examined them repeatedly, drawing so much blood? Even if you're not sick, you'll get sick."
Lin Xiuqing whispered to Ye Yaodong, "Ever since we were admitted to the hospital, she's been saying this, that the hospital is ripping us off and doing unnecessary tests..."
"Older people are all like this. Let them finish the examination honestly first, and then see what the doctor says. They're just stubborn. They know exactly what's wrong with them, but they just don't want to spend the money."
"Ah."
"What about the kidney tumor and cerebral infarction mentioned earlier?"
"Further examination is needed, but I secretly asked the doctor, who said that 95% of kidney tumors are malignant... I didn't dare tell him this, for fear that he wouldn't be able to accept it."
"so serious?"
"Well, then they said his cerebral infarction was in its early stages, and that he had some kind of arteriosclerosis, but I didn't understand the specifics. Anyway, they said that this couldn't be cured, and he could only control it with medication. He also had a bunch of other minor ailments, so he would have to take medication long-term."
"So this one is relatively better?"
"No, it's not. If it develops, it can be fatal, since it's a brain problem."
Ye Yaodong frowned and sighed, "Once you get old, illnesses will automatically come knocking on your door, and you can't prevent them."
"So we still have to do as you said, get regular checkups, and treat any illnesses early to prevent them from developing into something too serious later."
"Now you know I was right, right? Luckily, your intestinal polyps were removed early, and you're perfectly fine now, still lively and energetic."
The two whispered to each other, and after the nurse drew blood and left, the uncle said, "When can I go back? The boat captain is waiting for me to get on the boat."
"It won't make a difference if you stay a couple more days. Didn't I ask before? We'll be docked for a week to resupply. Just relax and finish your inspection. If it's not suitable for going out to sea, I'll talk to the captain for you."
"I can only work for two more months and then take two more months off. I'll get four months' salary for working for two months. If I can't work, I'll lose a lot of money."
"Is money more important or your life? You're already like this, and you're still thinking about going back to sea? You should get your illness checked out first."
"This is such a waste... We've worked so long, we were just two more months away from being able to rest..."
Ye Yaodong ignored his rambling and only asked Lin Xiuqing what tests she needed that afternoon, then asked her to take him to the doctor to inquire about the specifics.
The doctor said that if the diagnosis is confirmed, then part of the kidney will need to be removed, which will preserve some kidney function.
Now that I'm this old, after the surgery I can only recuperate and it's not suitable for me to do any more physical labor or heavy work. I have to start taking care of myself in my old age.
In addition, it's not just this one ailment; he has many other problems, both big and small, such as cerebral infarction, which prevents him from doing heavy work anymore.
It's absolutely impossible to go to sea now. If someone suffers a stroke at sea, there's no way to save them.
P.S.: My whole body aches, I keep sneezing and have a runny nose, I think I have the flu. That's all for now, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and add more later.
