Chapter 417 Younger Brother
Chapter 417 Younger Brother
Xu Sui hadn't heard her younger brother Xu Fei's voice for a long time, and she missed him a little.
She smiled unconsciously, but when she turned her head and thought about her grandmother still lying in bed unable to move, Xu Sui felt heavy-hearted again.
"Xiaofei, does your school have any doctors who specialize in treating elderly people who are bedridden and paralyzed?"
Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, almost unable to react. His hand unconsciously tightened around the phone, his knuckles turning white, and his voice trembled.
"Sis, what...what do you mean by this?"
"Who's paralyzed in bed? Who needs to see a doctor? Don't scare me."
"You know I'm easily scared... I can't handle being frightened."
Xu Sui sighed and thought that Xu Fei was an adult, and there were some things she should tell him.
"It's Grandma. Grandma had an accident a few days ago and is now paralyzed in bed."
"Your brother-in-law and I are currently in our hometown, trying to find a reliable doctor for the old lady to see if we can cure her."
But the chances are slim, yet they want to give it a try. Money is a minor issue; the key is people.
Xu Fei froze, his face turning deathly pale. After a long while, his lips twitched a few times.
"How could this happen... how could this be? Grandma has always been in good health!"
Moreover, my grandmother is a doctor herself and pays attention to health preservation. Her health is much better than most elderly people of the same age, and I have hardly ever seen her get sick.
Xu Sui shook her head, her voice somewhat muffled.
"Some things are unpredictable. Look at Grandma Li next door. She's so old and gets sick every few days, with a constant stream of minor and major illnesses. She's incredibly weak, but she's still alive and well all these years without any major problems."
"Then look at some elderly people, who usually seem to be in better health than young people, but sometimes they suddenly collapse."
To be honest, she is now worried not only about her bedridden grandmother, but also about Old Lady Qin.
Grandma Qin is usually very healthy and rarely gets sick. She can eat and drink well, and she can run and jump around.
It wouldn't be good if she suddenly ended up like her grandmother one day.
If we can find a doctor, we'll definitely have to ask him to take a look at Old Lady Qin.
Xu Fei remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I'll ask for leave and come back. I want to see Grandma."
"As for finding a doctor, I will try my best to inquire about it."
They are from a military medical university, which specializes in surgery. Most of the professors there are renowned surgical experts, so they are not very good at treating diseases in the elderly.
This matter may be difficult, but we must proceed no matter how difficult it is.
Grandma used to be indifferent to her and her brother, but that's just her personality—cold on the outside, warm on the inside.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have divided all her assets in two, giving one to him and the other to her sister.
"Okay, if you want to come back, see if you can take leave, but try not to let it interfere with your studies."
"I was thinking of sending you a gift, but it seems I don't need to now. When you come back, your brother-in-law and I will give it to you in person."
Xu Sui thought about it for a moment, and then, given his wife's current situation, it was hard to say what might happen. If something were to happen, Xiao Fei could come over and see her, at least leaving no regrets.
After so many years, the siblings hadn't seen each other, and she really missed her brother.
When she went to Beijing, he was only in junior high school and had to work incredibly hard to get into the university.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Fei is now in college and has grown into a grown-up, no longer a child.
Judging from his voice, he seems much more mature and composed than when he was younger.
Xu Fei felt better, and her face wasn't so pale anymore.
"Okay, wait for me to get back."
……
"So, did you get that woman's phone number?"
"We found out. It's from Xu Fei's hometown. The two of them were chatting and laughing on the phone, so it's definitely her."
Hou Yuzhu gritted her teeth, thinking that the man she had liked for so long had found someone else without saying a word.
The heaviness in her heart was almost overwhelming her; her eyes were red and her nose was sore.
She couldn't resist, turned around and ran to where she had made the call, dialing the number she had just asked him for.
On the other side, Xu Sui hung up the phone and was about to come out of the post office.
Suddenly, a post office worker called out to her, "Hey, comrade, wait a minute, they're calling again, they're looking for you."
Xu Sui was a little surprised, but she didn't think much of it. She assumed that Xu Fei had something to say and hadn't finished speaking.
So they went back and answered the phone.
The call had barely connected when, before she could even speak, a young girl's voice came from the other end.
"Hey, let me introduce myself. My name is Hou Yuzhu. I like Xu Fei. I've liked him since he went to college."
"Let's make a deal. You name your price, how much money would you want to leave him, or what conditions would you like to leave him?"
"I will do my best to satisfy you. As long as you give him to me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Xu Sui blinked in confusion at first, but quickly realized that this person probably misunderstood the relationship between her and Xu Fei.
She couldn't help but smile, but didn't explain immediately.
"Does he know what you like about him?"
Unexpectedly, five or six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the younger brother who was not even as tall as her shoulder back then has actually found a female friend who likes him.
Judging from the woman's tone, you can tell without guessing that she was spoiled by her parents and that her family must be quite well-off.
He even considered throwing money at her.
You have to understand that at this critical juncture, if someone finds something to hold against you and reports you, even if you're well-off, you'll have to lay low for a while.
Hou Yuzhu sniffed, trying to remain calm.
"Of course he knows. You don't need to worry about this. You just need to answer whether you're willing or not."
"Whether you want money or a job, I can get it for you. All you have to do is take the initiative to break up with Xu Fei and never have anything to do with him again."
"I advise you to think this through. For people from ordinary families like yours, money and a job are much more important than finding a partner."
Xu Sui nodded seriously, "That's right, I agree with that."
"But I don't lack money or jobs, I just need a doctor to treat my grandmother."
On the other end of the phone, Hou Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "No problem. What illness does your grandma have? I can have my dad go and treat her."
"My dad is a nationally renowned doctor; she can definitely cure your grandma."
Xu Sui hadn't expected such a surprise.
"Really? Who is your father?"
