“Will taking medicine and having an injection not suffice? This is about the eyes!” Grandma Su had originally expected Su Mian to prescribe some medicine and he would get better after taking it for a few days. She had not thought that a surgery would be necessary.
“Yes, Xiao Mian, eyes are unlike other areas. If this operation fails, your uncle’s life would be over.” Su Mian’s eldest aunt was also worried. If this leads to blindness, third brother would be useless for the rest of his life.
Su Mian knew that everyone was worried and could only bring out Dean Li, “Don’t worry, I will bring uncle to the county hospital tomorrow and Dean Li will do the surgery. Did you know? Dean Li had recently done a liver cancer resection operation and it was extremely successful. He has good medical skills. I will be there to help when the time comes. You can all rest assured.”
Su Mian’s aunts all lived in the county, especially Youngest Aunt’s house which was close to the county hospital. “I had heard about this. I heard that the teacher recovered particularly well and was already discharged.”
Although Youngest Aunt said this, Grandma Su still felt uneasy. Her third son had still not married yet, “Xiao Mian, is it a must for your uncle’s eyes to be operated on?”
Su Mian knew what everyone was worried about and did not hide anything from them, “Grandma, you can bank on it. I guarantee that after the operation, not only will Uncle’s cataracts be cured, his eyesight will also be restored. When that time comes, perhaps he will bring back a daughter-in-law for you in merely a few months!”
“This time, if Third Brother’s eyes are healed, maybe the third sister we have been waiting 20 years for will really come home!”
“That’s right, Third Brother is handsome and it’s just his eyes which have delayed the matter!”
“Third Brother, when that time comes, you mustn’t forget your mother after finding a wife!”
Not to mention, in her previous life, although Uncle’s eyes were not cured, he still found a wife later on. It was just that the wife also had issues. Her legs were disabled and she loved to gossip, getting on very well with Bai Yu Lan. The two of them got together and stirred up much trouble within the Su family.
This time, Su Mian would heal Youngest Uncle’s eyes and it is likely that he will not marry her disabled third aunt from the previous life.
Su Mian’s youngest uncle was introverted and had not spoken up, but he was willing to do this surgery. When he heard about finding a wife, his face reddened even though he was about to turn 40.
When Grandma Su heard this, she grinned and all the wrinkles on her face stretched out, “That’s a good feeling, to have someone take care of him and spend her days with him. When I go see the old man, I will have no regrets!”
These few years, Grandma Su had always been anxious about not finding a wife for her third son. However, her third son’s eyes had not been good and when he was young, many matchmakers had failed. In the blink of an eye, he was almost 40. If he could marry and have a child, regardless of whether it was a son or daughter, there would still be the next generation and when they have grown up, they would be able to take care of them.
Su Mian told her youngest uncle to go home and wash his hair, take a shower, and eat a smaller breakfast tomorrow morning. She also told him to not be nervous and maintain his calm.
The family were discussing the operation tomorrow and which plot of land to sow first, when Wei You Shan, his wife, and Wei Min, came.
Zhang Jie followed behind Wei You Shan and when she saw Su Mian, she took her hand. The more she saw this daughter-in-law, the more she liked her.
She knew that she was petty and cheap and originally, if it were not for her eldest sister’s advice, she would have been fooled by Bai Yu Lan. Thinking about it now, she really was an idiot back then. If Su Hong had really married into her family, then just based on the fact that she had lied about asking for leave last time, Zhang Jie would never be able to keep her head up in this village for the rest of her life.
“Let me see if Xiao Mian had lost weight.” Zhang Jie kindly grabbed Su Mian, holding her little hand and stroking it. This daughter-in-law was really pleasing to the eye the more she looked.
“Aunty, I am fine.” This enthusiasm made Su Mian feel somewhat uncomfortable and looked at Wei Min behind her for help. Wei Min’s big apricot eyes squinted and she tugged Su Mian over, “Mother, don’t you and father have business to deal with Uncle Su? Su Mian and I still have things to talk about.”
Zhang Jie originally wanted to say a few more words to Su Mian, but she was dragged away by Wei Min. She was so angry that she stomped her feet, “You damn girl. Do you two not talk enough at school? You still snatch her from me when you come home.”
