Chapter 146 - w.a.n.g Tong's Trouble
Although w.a.n.g Tong's words were vague, Ji Feng and Zhang Lei could not help but adjust their expressions. They could tell that the matter was not as simple as w.a.n.g Tong had said it was.
In fact, although w.a.n.g Tong's tone was relaxed when he said it, there was a hint of worry and anxiety that could not be hidden in his eyes. It seemed that he was very worried about something, and also felt helpless.
Ji Feng frowned and asked, "What disease did Aunt have?"
w.a.n.g Tong's relationship with Kan Miao was in some sort of crisis. To Ji Feng, it was a trivial matter. At the very least, it didn't matter who w.a.n.g Tong was good with, or who he would find as his wife in the future.
Therefore, Ji Feng did not care about what kind of trouble w.a.n.g Tong and Kan Miao had encountered. What he cared about the most was what kind of illness w.a.n.g Tong's mother had.
A woman could be found again, but this old lady only had one!
Furthermore, Ji Feng clearly remembered that when they were clashing with Huang Hao and the others, w.a.n.g Tong had suddenly exploded. In his grief and indignation, he had even said some vicious words about selling organs in order to treat his mother's illness.
From this, it could be seen that w.a.n.g Tong's mother was definitely very sick. At the very least, she was no ordinary illness.
Zhang Lei also asked from the side, "That's right, w.a.n.g Tong, what disease does Aunt have?"
At the mention of this, w.a.n.g Tong's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of heaviness. His eyes revealed a hint of pain as he let out a long sigh, "Ai …"
Zhang Lei was anxious. He frowned and said, "I was wondering why a man like you was so obedient. If you have any problems, just say it. We're all here. If there's anything, we can discuss it together. You …"
Ji Feng could not help but glare at him, "Enough, stop talking and listen to what w.a.n.g Tong has to say!"
Zhang Lei helplessly shook his head. With his straightforward temper, he couldn't stand a man's weak and impulsive character the most. w.a.n.g Tong's appearance made Zhang Lei scratch his head. He remembered that w.a.n.g Tong wasn't like this before either, how did he become so silly now!
"He must have been bullied by this woman!" Zhang Lei glanced at Kan Miao and muttered to himself.
"w.a.n.g Tong, let's have a smoke first. There's no rush!" Ji Feng patted w.a.n.g Tong's shoulder and said with a smile. In truth, at the moment, Ji Feng could understand w.a.n.g Tong's current state, or perhaps, only he could.
If a man hadn't encountered an extremely difficult situation, if he hadn't suffered from the enormous pressure, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to undergo such a drastic change.
w.a.n.g Tong must have been under a huge amount of pressure for a long time, making him have to be careful with every step he took. No matter what he took, he would always be cautious, afraid that something might happen... Over the long term, he had developed this kind of indecisive personality.
In the past, w.a.n.g Tong was not like this. At that time, w.a.n.g Tong did not talk much, but he was still considered cheerful, at least much better than Ji Feng at that time.
Strictly speaking, w.a.n.g Tong was just an ordinary student at that time. He had no special characteristics, and no obvious flaws.
If one insisted on talking about his specialties, it was said that his family background was not that good. Perhaps it was because of his inferiority, which made w.a.n.g Tong not very outstanding in cla.s.s. Of course, he was much better than Ji Feng.
Usually, w.a.n.g Tong would often chat and laugh with them, making jokes and the like, which was very normal.
But the enormous pressure that his heart was bearing was enough to change a person's character. Presumably, w.a.n.g Tong was an example of this.
"I'm not a woman, I just don't know what to say!" w.a.n.g Tong bitterly smiled and shook his head.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it. It's not like you stole someone else's things. What's there to say?" Zhang Lei frowned, "A grown man shouldn't be so straightforward. Speak freely!"
"Sigh …" w.a.n.g Tong bitterly smiled and shook his head.
"I say, you …" When Zhang Lei saw this, he instantly became anxious. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly heard Kan Miao speak.
"w.a.n.g Tong is embarra.s.sed to say it, but let me say, w.a.n.g Tong's mother has uremia." Kan Miao said.
"Hmm?"
Ji Feng frowned.
Zhang Lei was also stunned, "What did you say just now? "Uremia?"
Kan Miao nodded and said, "That's right, it's uremia. According to the doctors, it has already reached the stage where the kidney must be switched. The other medical treatments are no longer effective."
Ji Feng could not help but be stunned, "Must you change your kidney? You don't have any other methods? "I remember that there's something like dialysis that can be done, and it is said that it has pretty good effects as well …"
"It's useless!"
Kan Miao shook his head and said, "The doctor said, w.a.n.g Tong's mother's condition is already very serious, and it was too late when we went to the hospital. But because w.a.n.g Tong's family had some savings, but there is still a gap in the cost of the kidney, and because he didn't have a proper kidney source at the time, we could only use other methods to treat her."
"Those methods can only alleviate the illness, but they can't cure it. In the past two years, the disease has become more and more serious. Recently, the doctor gave a notice to change the kidney, otherwise …" Kan Miao did not continue, but what she wanted to say was already self-evident, and everyone understood.
Obviously, w.a.n.g Tong's mother's condition had developed to the point where if her kidney wasn't switched, she could very well face death threats. It could be said that she was at the final moment.
"Then... No kidney source? " Ji Feng frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that the organs of the children and the organs of their parents could be matched?"
"That's just a general situation, and that's not necessarily true. Everything has a certain probability!" w.a.n.g Tong shook his head and said, "None of our family members could match up to my mother … This must have taken my mother's life! "
"You can't say that!"
Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "Being sick is a very normal thing. Don't be too pessimistic."
w.a.n.g Tong said, "This is not pessimism, why is it that the one who is sick is no other than our family?" There are so many rich people, why don't they get sick? The more we look down on them, the more we get this serious disease. "This is fate …"
Ji Feng couldn't help but frown. Now that w.a.n.g Tong was able to say something like this, it seemed that the burden in his heart was really too much for him to take a breath of. He was already beginning to complain.
If he had to endure for a while longer, he still didn't know what kind of thing he would do.
At such a time, if an ordinary person were to have even the tiniest bit of hesitation, they might become hot-headed and do something too extreme. At that time, things would become troublesome.
Thinking about this, Ji Feng immediately asked: "w.a.n.g Tong, what do you need the most right now? Is it the cost for treating the patient or the kidney? "
"Neither." w.a.n.g Tong shook his head and said, "I've asked the doctor. Even if there is a kidney source, from the pre-operation recuperation to the post-operation medication, it's still about two hundred thousand. That's still the most conservative estimate."
"But even if we have money, this kidney is still a big problem. A good person wouldn't be willing to sell their organs. Besides, if he didn't have a proper organ, the hospital would have to operate on him … "Sigh!" w.a.n.g Tong couldn't help but shake his head, these matters were really pressing down on him, making him almost unable to breathe.
Ji Feng and Zhang Lei looked at each other and couldn't help but frown.
This matter was not that easy to handle.
This was because they had never been in contact with this kind of thing before, and now, they did not even know how to make a move. Even if they wanted to help w.a.n.g Tong, they did not know how to do it.
"Actually..."
She said, "Actually, money is not a big problem. Originally, my family didn't agree to the matter between w.a.n.g Tong and me, but because our att.i.tudes were very firm, my family had no choice but to reluctantly agree, but with a few conditions."
Zhang Lei glanced at her, but didn't say anything. He didn't have a good impression of this woman, so he naturally couldn't be bothered to talk to her.
Kan Mao didn't expect others to ask her, but continued, "My family has proposed to have w.a.n.g Tong as their son-in-law. Moreover, if he wants to be this son-in-law, he must show off his ability first. As long as he pa.s.ses, the money won't be a problem …"
"What ability?"
Ji Feng asked, "What are the abilities required to be your son-in-law?"
w.a.n.g Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Her father meant that at least I have to have a certain level of ability …"
In fact, Kan Miao's mother's words were far more unpleasant than this.
Kan Miao's mother's words were as follows: "This son-in-law isn't something that just anyone can do, with our family's conditions, there are too many people who want to be this son-in-law. No matter how much Kan Miao likes you, if you don't have any ability, we will definitely not agree, even if you don't want Kan Miao as your daughter, we will absolutely not let you into this family. Otherwise, such a big family business like ours will be completely ruined by you in the future!"
"Then how do they want you to demonstrate your ability?" Ji Feng asked.
"First is public relations ability." w.a.n.g Tong said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to Jiang Prefecture with those people surnamed Huang …"
Ji Feng suddenly realized, in his heart he was wondering why w.a.n.g Tong's mother was so ill at home, while w.a.n.g Tong could still come out to play. It turned out that he was here to be 'tested', or perhaps, he was here to raise money...
