ear.Seeing everything around him, Xiao Yu felt very happy. He could only remember seeing such scenes when he was young; after growing up, the feeling of the New Year gradually faded away, and Xiao Yu...Chapter 399: Reunion with Family

Xiao Yu looked at the middle-aged woman. Although she was in her fifties, years of hard work and exposure to the elements in rural areas made her appear much older, around sixty. Her hair was white, and her face had numerous wrinkles like furrows on a field. She wore tattered clothes typical of an impoverished mountain village woman.

When Bai Qiyue knelt before this middle-aged woman, Bai Qiyue's mother stood there dumbfounded, staring at him in disbelief until he nodded vigorously, confirming that this wasn't a dream.

"Big brother! You're finally back. I've missed you so much. Ten years have passed! No matter how much money you make or how busy you are, you must come to visit your mother!"

"Mother, I haven't been filial," Bai Qiyue cried even harder upon hearing his mother's words. Having left home as a youth and returned in his thirties, all the accumulated longing for home surged forth.

The commotion drew people from the corridor who sighed at the scene; many patients developed special bonds with others while hospitalized, often continuing to be friends after discharge.

"Auntie, let your child get up. The floor is cold!" A middle-aged woman in her forties who had just gotten off her knees said to Bai Qiyue's mother.

"That’s right! Auntie, you should be happy that your son has returned!" Another woman also comforted Bai Qiyue's mother.

"Right, right. I’m happy. Big brother, please get up," wiping tears from her face, his mother reached out to help Bai Qiyue stand.

Bai Qiyue got up, staring at his mother with intense emotion. After ten years of separation, he felt as if he were in a dream; even seeing his father had not been as moving as this reunion with his mother.

"Third Brother, isn’t this your big brother Didn't you always follow him to raid bird nests when you were little" Seeing their daughter staring at Bai Qiyue but remaining silent, Bai Qiyue’s parents prompted her.

Hearing her parents' words, the girl looked at Bai Qiyue but could not bring herself to say anything.

Bai Qiyue gazed at his sister. The little girl with two runny noses had grown into a graceful young lady, so much that he hardly recognized her; if they were to meet elsewhere now, he might not even recognize her.

"Heh heh... Little Sister, don’t you recognize your big brother You ungrateful brat! Who was it who asked me to fish in the river when I nearly drowned" Bai Qiyue looked at his sister and chuckled.

"Big Brother... I miss you so much!"

When Bai Rong heard her brother Bai Qiyue's words, a bashful expression appeared on her face. But then she suddenly hugged Bai Qiyue and called out to him, shedding tears as she did.

"Big Brother, my second brother... he..." After crying for a while, Bai Rong let go of Bai Qiyue and said.

The mention of her name made them think about the critically ill Bai Jiuyue. They packed up their things and went to the hospital ward. There were four beds in the room, each occupied by a patient.

Bai San led the group towards the bed closest to the window with his old wife. Next to that bed sat a young woman in her late twenties or early thirties. At this moment, she was sitting there quietly wiping away tears while looking at the person lying on the hospital bed.

When Bai San and company brought Bai Qiyue to the bedside, the young woman turned around. Her eyes were red and swollen, with a look of daze in her gaze.

"Second Sister-in-law, this is our Big Brother, July!" Bai Rong walked over to the woman and pointed at Bai Qiyue as she spoke.

The young woman froze when she heard Bai Rong's words. She then made a move to kneel down in front of Bai Qiyue. "Big Brother, thank you! Without you, Jiuyue would probably already be dead!"

Bai Qiyue saw her about to kneel and knew that it was because he had given money for the medical expenses. He quickly stopped her from kneeling by saying, "Little sister-in-law, don't do this. This is my brother and my own flesh and blood. Who else would help him but me"

"Jiuyue! Jiuyue! Wake up, see who's here!" The young woman shook the person lying in bed and called out.

Bai Jiuyue was seriously ill; without a kidney transplant donor, he was only kept alive by dialysis. At this point, Bai Jiuyue’s body was swollen from fluid retention and his strength was very weak. He spent most of his day asleep.

"Eh..." The person lying in bed groaned softly as their eyes slowly opened.

When Bai Jiuyue opened his eyes, he looked around dazedly. When he saw Bai Qiyue, his gaze froze for a moment before he slowly said, "Big... Big Brother"

In those years when Bai Qiyue was away, Bai Jiuyue had already turned sixteen or seventeen. Although it had been over ten years since the two brothers last met, Bai Jiuyue could still recognize his elder brother.

"Second brother......" When Bai Qiyue heard his younger brother's call, he walked over and grabbed his hand, choking out his words.

The two were born of the same mother; seeing his brother in such a state made him feel very distressed inside.

After some time, their excited emotions finally calmed down. Bai Qiyue then looked at Xiao Yu standing behind them.

Seeing Bai Qiyue looking at Xiao Yu, Bai San also realized the situation and quickly walked up to Xiao Yu, saying, "Doctor Xiao, we trouble you! Please check him out, he's still young!" Upon finishing his sentence, tears welled up in his eyes; his son was only twenty-seven years old and his grandson just three, their lives had barely begun.

When he first heard that his son needed a kidney transplant, he wanted to donate one of his kidneys, but after the blood type matching test it turned out they were incompatible. They could do nothing but wait for a donor organ to become available.

Xiao Yu didn't speak and merely nodded before walking over. When Bai Qiyue saw Xiao Yu coming over, he quickly made way for him.

Xiao Yu walked over, sat on the chair beside the bed, gently placed his hand on Bai Jiuyue's wrist, half-closed his eyes, and began to carefully feel his pulse.

Seeing Dr. Xiao feeling out Bai Jiuyue's pulse, Bai Qiyue’s family looked at Bai San and Bai Qiyue in confusion; initially they thought this person was a friend of Bai Qiyue’s, but now he was checking the condition of their younger brother

"This Doctor Xiao is a miracle doctor! He came to examine Jiuyue!"

Bai San noticed his wife, daughter, and daughters-in-law looking at him and explained.

"Father... Father... Where did you find this person Isn’t he a con artist" Upon hearing Bai San's words, both Bai Qiyue’s mother and younger sister showed expressions of joy. Only Baifang had a worried look on her face; she walked up to Bai San and asked in a low voice.

"You brat, what are you saying If it weren't for the sake of your brother and Martial Lord Wu's face, do you think Doctor Xiao would come to see your second brother"

Hearing his daughter speak like this, Bai San’s eyes widened; he glanced at Xiao Yu who was feeling out the pulse and saw that he wasn’t looking their way. He couldn't help but sigh in relief and whispered sternly to Baifang.

"Isn't it just as I said Now there are more con artists around!" Upon hearing Bai San's rebuke, Baifang grumbled under her breath.

"Sigh... Third brother, it's not that I'm saying this to you, but your temper needs to change. Otherwise, you'll suffer in the future!" Hearing her mutter, Bai Qiyue's mother sighed and said to her.

"Mom, what happened When I was outside just now, I heard you talking about my sister's temper. My sister is quite good-natured! What happened" Upon hearing his mother scolding Bai Rong, Bai Qiyue couldn't help but ask.

After hearing Bai Qiyue's question, his mother explained to him.

It turned out that Bai Rong was now in college, specifically the prestigious Hu Qing University in Beijing. After spending some time in this pinnacle of academia nationwide, she viewed things too simplistically and idealistically.

Although schools can be seen as a microcosm of society, they are still just schools where students tend to remain innocent and naive until they truly enter the real world and experience its harshness.

The rural areas now also have cooperative medical insurance, with the government covering part of the medical expenses. Previously, everything had been fine when they were hospitalized here, but upon hearing that her second brother was critically ill, Bai Rong took leave from school and rushed back home.

On the day after she returned, it was time for Nine Moon to receive an IV drip, yet the nurses did not show up. So, Bai Rong went looking for them at the nursing station. Since these nurses were treated like gods by patients and their families, they couldn't stand being criticized. Thus, a heated argument broke out between them and Bai Rong.

After arguing with the nurses, Bai Rong returned to her room but after twenty minutes, the nurses still hadn't come over. So she went back to the nursing station where she found all the nurses chatting together. She was extremely frustrated and threatened to call their hospital superiors, upon which the nurses reluctantly left to give Nine Moon his IV drip.

Seeing the nurses attend to her brother's IV treatment, Bai Rong wore a victorious smile and told Third Brother and her mother that one shouldn't be polite to people like them.

However, Third Brother and Bai Qiyue’s mother did not look happy; instead, they looked worried.

"Nurse, Nurse, I'm sorry. It's just a kid who doesn't understand things. Please don't take it to heart!" After the nurse gave Bai Qiyue his IV treatment, his parents quickly apologized to her.

"It's alright, it's alright. It was our mistake at work; please forgive us," the nurse replied politely and then left.

"Dad, Mom, why apologize to them This is their job. Look at me, as soon as I said I would report them to their superiors, didn't they obediently come over to give my second brother his IV"

Seeing her parents apologizing to the nurse, Bai Rong showed a hint of displeasure on her face and told her parents, still looking excited afterward. It was as if she had secretly taken pride in defeating those nurses.ecrease.In a society where everyone schemes against each other and in an unpredictable political arena, these elders have experienced everything. Therefore, apart from their lifelong brothers who they...
