Chapter 614 Decision
Seeing that Liu Jingxue had recovered, the old lady couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, what are your plans? Are you going to have the surgery or not?
If you can't make up your mind, find a way to contact your family elders and let them make the decision.
It's really not right for a little girl like you to make such a big decision on your own."
Liu Jingxue shook her head and said, "There's no need to contact the elders.
My uncle and aunt are busy with missions at the moment, so it's inconvenient to contact them. They told me before I came that I should make my own decisions on everything.
My eldest brother also led the team out on a mission and cannot be contacted.
My eldest sister-in-law and I are the only ones who are free at home, but she has students to look after and children to take care of, otherwise I would not have come here.”
"What about your grandparents, parents, or other elders?" the aunt asked.
"My grandparents have passed away, and my parents died ten years ago. I have no other relatives in the family," Liu Jingxue said lightly.
"Little girl, I'm sorry, I didn't know your family situation was like this."
Liu Jingxue said indifferently, "It's okay, Auntie."
She looked at Chen Ruijie, Shitou, and Xiao Ma who were standing in a row, and said, "I want to do this surgery.
You have just heard about my second brother's condition. He has been in a coma.
If I don't do it and keep putting it off, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for more than a few days.
And I think you all know what kind of person he is.
If I knew that my last days would be spent lying there like a living dead, unconscious, with people taking care of me, and wasting the country's medical resources, I'm afraid I wouldn't be happy about it."
“Although the chances of success of the operation are very low, I still want to give it a try.
Maybe I won the bet in the end, and my second brother was successfully rescued.
If I don’t have the surgery, I’ll just have to watch him die.”
“As my second brother’s comrades-in-arms and his closest people, I want to hear your opinions.
You know, I can’t find anyone else to discuss this with right now, so I can only ask you.
I hope you will feel free to express your opinions.”
After the three of them looked at each other, Chen Ruijie spoke first. After all, he was the deputy captain, so it was most appropriate for him to speak first.
"I have thought about it carefully just now, and my opinion is also to have surgery.
Just as Comrade Liu said, given the captain's temper, if he knew that he would be lying like a living dead in his last few days, with others feeding him, wiping his body, and dealing with his excrement and urine, he would probably want to die on the spot.
Besides, no matter what the success rate of the operation is, there is always a chance of success if the operation is performed. If you don't perform the operation, you can only wait for death.
We have to take a gamble, like you said, in case the operation is successful."
“This surgery has to be done.”
"Operation."
The other two also spoke up.
After the three of them finished speaking, Liu Jingxue looked at the old lady and her son again.
"Auntie, and this comrade, what do you think?"
"We have to do the surgery," the wounded man said first, "My condition is better than Comrade Liu's, and the doctor also said before the surgery that the risk is very high.
Look, the operation was successful and I’m alive.
Generally speaking, doctors won't make too confident statements. When they say they are 30% to 40% sure, it might actually be 50% to 60%.
They have to give themselves some wiggle room.”
The old lady also said, “This operation must be done.
In Comrade Liu's case, if the operation was successful, everyone would be happy; if it failed, he would just die a few days earlier.
Judging from the way he is now, there is no difference whether he leaves a few days earlier or a few days later.
Maybe if you leave early, you will suffer less."
“Since everyone agrees, it is decided.
I choose surgery." Liu Jingxue clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
When the old lady heard this, she quickly said to Xiao Ma, "Xiao Ma, go call a doctor right away.
Didn’t they tell you before that if Comrade Liu’s family came, they should tell her about Comrade Liu’s condition as soon as possible and decide whether to perform surgery?
I've also given you the results, so hurry up and inform them."
"Yes, yes, look at me, I almost forgot about it.
I'm going to talk to the doctor now.
They said before that they would have a good talk with the family members." Xiao Ma said, then he turned and left the ward to find a doctor.
Thinking that the doctor would be here soon, Chen Ruijie decided to put Liu Jingxue's luggage aside so that it wouldn't block the way.
He had already put his two packages aside, and only the one Liu Jingxue was carrying was placed in the middle.
He hurried over and tried to take the package away.
Because Liu Jingxue had said before that the package was not heavy, and he saw her easily carrying the package up to the third floor, he really thought it was not heavy and he didn't use much strength in his hands.
Unexpectedly, when I lifted it, the package didn't move at all.
Chen Ruijie didn't care and tried a little harder, but still couldn't lift it up.
After repeated attempts, he finally lifted the package and moved it aside.
At this moment, he remembered how Liu Jingxue walked towards him and Shitou leisurely carrying three packages when she came out of the train station. He also thought about the weight of the three packages, and his heart was filled with shock.
Thinking of his captain's natural supernatural powers, a thought emerged in his mind.
Looking at Liu Jingxue's slender figure and fair skin, she looked so fragile no matter how he looked at her, which was totally different from what he had imagined.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the thought in his mind, but the more he shook his head, the clearer the thought became.
Seeing Liu Jingxue turning to Liu Jianjun again, he reached out and pulled the stone, motioning him to go out with him.
The two walked out of the ward. Chen Ruijie looked inside the ward and saw that Liu Jingxue didn't notice them, so he pulled Shitou aside and asked in a low voice,
"Don't you think Comrade Liu is a bit too strong?"
"You just realized it, she was carrying three such large packages with such ease.
I carried two bags, and the distance from the exit to the car almost crushed me. "
“I just lifted the package that Comrade Liu brought upstairs. It took me a lot of effort to lift it up.
But she had climbed to the third floor in advance, and it was effortless as if she was not carrying anything.
Do you think she is the same as the captain?"
"Same as the captain?
Deputy Captain, why are you talking so incoherently? "
Chen Ruijie rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just like the captain, he is also born with supernatural powers."
"Impossible, it's not such a coincidence.
We can’t let them take all the good things in this world.”
"Then how do you explain her great strength?"
Shitou didn't take it seriously, "What's the big deal? It's okay for girls to be strong. In our countryside, girls also have to work in the fields to earn work points.
Some female comrades in our village do just as much as male comrades, and some are even better.
If a girl doesn't have enough strength, she won't be able to do many things.
In the countryside, there are many examples of women being treated as men.
She comes from a military family, so she must have been trained since she was young, and she has been working in the countryside for more than two years, so she must have been trained a long time ago.”
"Is that so?" Chen Ruijie was a little skeptical.
“You’re right to believe me.
Besides, no matter how heavy the package was, it wasn’t that exaggerated.
Just think about the captain's strength, and then compare it with those three packages. Aren't they even on the same level?
We can lift those three packages if we put them together.
Perhaps Comrade Liu had no one to help him and he had no other options, so he just gritted his teeth and persevered. "
Perhaps it was the fact that Liu Jingxue was also born with supernatural powers, which made Chen Ruijie even more unable to accept it than Liu Jianjun having this ability.
Or maybe he believed what Shi Tou said.
"You are right. Comrade Liu came here alone. She had to carry her luggage by herself, and there was no one else to help her.
If you just ask someone to help you carry your luggage, it would be a big loss if that person takes the luggage away.
Even if she couldn't lift it, she could only grit her teeth and persevere. "
