Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Parents are all thinking about their children. Ma's mother felt that there was no need for her to continue treatment, especially since her son had been under a lot of pressure for all these years. This was something a mother could not tolerate. After thinking for a while, she said, "I have lived to such an old age, and I have already had enough. There is no need for you to be so sad. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God."

Ma Hua is a very filial child. Hearing what his mother said, he felt really bad. Looking at his mother's old face, he really couldn't bear to let her die like this. Even though the hospital had issued a critical illness notice, Ma Hua felt that he still had to work hard.

He made up his mind that he had to think of a way to pay for his mother's medical expenses. Ma Hua's mother naturally didn't know what her son was thinking, and said to him with a smile, "Invite your master to our house in the future. Although our family is relatively poor, we should have backbone. Your master is so good to you, I originally wanted to visit him in person."

"But my health is getting worse and worse, so I have no choice but to ask your master to come to our house. People can forget everything in their lifetime. But the only thing you can't forget is the people who are good to you. People must never forget kindness, my son, you must remember this for me, your mother."

Ma Hua's eyes were full of tears. Looking at his mother was like telling her last words. Ma Hua felt as if a needle was stabbing his heart. Ma Hua cried and said, "Mom, why don't we go to the hospital to have another look? Even if I have to visit all the hospitals in the city, I will still try to treat your illness."

Ma's mother looked at her son lovingly, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "I know my son is filial, but if you really let me become a bachelor because of my illness, I will not be at peace even after I die. You must listen to me on this matter. I will never go to see any doctor again. My son, you must listen to me."

Ma Hua's eyes were red. He looked at his mother and said tearfully, "Mom, if you say that, it's like cutting my heart with a stewing knife." Ma Hua burst into tears. Ma Bangde and Ma's mother beside him also felt very sad.

Ma Bangde looked at his son, then at his wife. He smiled and said, "Hua Zi, we have come to this point. Don't be sad anymore. Your mother still has a long time to live. Listen to your mother. Invite Master He to our house for a visit later. Your mother and I will thank him very much."

Ma Bangde knew that his wife didn't have much time left. Seeing his son being so filial, he felt both relieved and sad. He was a very honest man. He had been honest and upright all his life. He had never done anything bad, and naturally he didn't dare to say that he had done a lot of good things. He sighed helplessly, knowing that his wife still cared about his son.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Son, go cook something for your mother. Your mother has been missing you all day and is very hungry." Ma Hua wiped the tears from her eyes and hurried to the kitchen next door to cook. After his son left, Ma Bangde looked at Ma's mother and said, "Old woman, you are worried about our son."

Ma's mother sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but Huazi hasn't gotten married yet, and I feel really bad. If it weren't for my poor health, my son would have gotten married long ago. Huazi's master is a good man, and I want to thank him before I leave. Let Huazi invite his master over soon, as my health is getting worse day by day."

Hearing what his wife said, Ma Bangde burst into tears. Ma's mother smiled and patted the back of his hand and said, "Why are you crying? Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my son will suffer after I die. You must help our son well and watch our son get married and have children. I am afraid I won't be able to see it, so you can watch it for me."

Ma Bangde's eyes were red, and tears could not stop flowing down. They had been together through thick and thin for more than 30 years, but he did not expect that they would soon be separated from each other. He had visited countless famous doctors, but they all came to the same conclusion that his wife's disease was really incurable. What could he do even if he was unwilling? He really had no other choice.

Ma Hua, who was in the kitchen, heard these conversations and couldn't stop the tears from his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and wanted to go out and tell his mother that we should go to the hospital for treatment. But he knew his mother's temper and she would definitely not want to go. He sighed helplessly and sat on the ground, sobbing silently.

Parents will give everything they have to their children. Even their own lives will be sacrificed. Ma Hua's mother is an ordinary mother among many mothers. He is not an exception. In order for his son to marry a wife as soon as possible, he is willing to give up his life and save money to marry his son.

This kind of dedication is selfless, great and worthy of praise, but this kind of love is also very painful.

Inside the Red Star Courtyard, when He Yuzhu and his wife had just arrived at the courtyard, Yan Fugui came over with a shy smile. He Yuzhu was frightened by Yan Fugui's smile and said speechlessly, "Uncle, what's that expression on your face? Did you find some money? You have to treat me."

Yan Fugui smiled bitterly and said, "Don't joke with me, your uncle. Where can I pick up money? Hey, Zhuzi, I heard that the steel mill is going to hold a large banquet this time. Are you serious or not? I heard that our school will also have a share. Please tell me about it. Most people in the courtyard are discussing this matter now. Can you talk to us old neighbors first?"
