Free Web NovelChapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Qin Family (4)
Mrs. Huang needs to undergo heart bypass surgery.
In the past two years, the success rate for this surgery abroad has been quite high. However, in the domestic environment, there are challenges: first, the technology is inadequate; second, postoperative recovery can be quite troublesome; and third, the cost is also very high.
Additionally, no doctor in their hometown could perform such a surgery, but the doctor knew that it could be done in Capital City.
It was also Mrs. Huang’s good fortune that the doctor who was treating her had previously attended a lecture by Su Zhan and knew that Su Zhan was highly skilled in this area; he was quite renowned internationally as well.
So, the doctor recommended that Mrs. Huang seek treatment in Capital City.
Actually, for an ordinary family, the doctor would not have made such a suggestion, especially since it’s so difficult to get an appointment with Doctor Su.
But it was hard to resist the boasting of Second Sister Huang, who heaped lavish praise on Huang Yongqi in front of the doctor.
Weren’t those people against Mrs. Huang back then? In the past years, they’ve heard plenty of sarcastic remarks in this regard; now, it seems they’ve been proven wrong, right?
Her little brother, who was smart since childhood, has made something of himself and got into college.
Haha, and it’s the kind of prestigious university where graduates also turn out exceptionally accomplished.
Therefore, in Second Sister Huang’s mind, since her brother is so successful, what’s there that can’t be done to see a doctor in Capital City?
Moreover, their mother worked so hard to raise Huang Yongqi, and she hasn’t really enjoyed any good fortune yet. Now it’s time for Huang Yongqi to step up.
Things like hard-to-schedule appointments aren’t considered an issue in Second Sister Huang’s impression.
Her brother can handle it.
Hence, when the doctor heard her say this, he thought, well, maybe he underestimated them. He didn’t expect such an impressive figure could come from the Huang Family. So, he suggested they quickly head to Capital City.
This condition is not something that can be delayed; the sooner they go, the sooner they can get treated and avoid suffering.
That’s how this trip to the Huang family came to be.
Originally, Father Huang was also supposed to come, but Second Sister Huang declined, saying she would look after their mother while their father stayed home to tend to the farm work and take care of the children.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Second Sister Huang is married, but she brought her husband into the Huang Family.
"So they’re waiting now, hoping you’ll perform the surgery?" Su Ziqiao asked curiously as he played with the pen on Su Zhan’s desk, "Who are they planning to ask then?"
His second brother’s schedule seemed fully booked, and he only made appointments for people he knew.
Even then, it depended on Su Zhan’s mood.
"I heard it’s the Qin Family." Su Zhan originally didn’t know about it, but he had seen Qin Wei a few times at the hospital.
Of course, he didn’t know who Qin Wei was; it was from overhearing nurses gossip in their department about how capable Qin Wei was, how much the Qin Family liked her, and so on.
If the Qin Family is mentioned, it’s probably that Qin Family he was aware of.
About twenty-one years ago, an incident involving the Qin Family happened that a lot of people in Capital City were aware of: Mr. Qin’s elder daughter-in-law and infant granddaughter mysteriously disappeared.
To this day, their whereabouts remain unknown.
The reason Su Zhan still remembers this matter is partly due to an oral engagement between the Su Family and the Qin Family back then, and partly because the missing Qin granddaughter had a cleft lip. Many people at the time said that a cleft lip was a bad omen, thus cursing both the Qin Family and leading to the daughter-in-law’s demise.
However, Su Zhan thought it was all nonsense, it was just a surgery.
Yet, all these years, the Qin Family’s granddaughter has never been found, and the oral engagement between the two families was eventually forgotten by the adults.
