"Yushui, since you find it hard to accept this old man, how about letting him do odd jobs in my restaurant and help me with things within his ability as a punishment for him? This way, neither you nor I will have to pay."

"Brother, your idea is to make him suffer the same pain we suffered..."

"Okay, let's do it! Silly sister, you're happy now, right?"

"Um!"

"By the way, go home and visit your sister-in-law when you have time. Wanru hasn't come back recently, and Xiangyang and Hongmei haven't come back either because they are busy with their studies. She seems a little lonely..."

"Okay! Brother, I know, I'll go tomorrow..."

After saying that, He Yushui went out.

From then on, He Daqing stayed in He Yuzhu's restaurant.

He comes to the restaurant early every day to help clean and prepare ingredients.

Although he is old, he is very efficient at work.

When He Yuzhu saw the change in his father, the resentment in his heart gradually dissipated.

He began to accept He Daqing again, and the relationship between father and son gradually eased.

After Zhang Wanting heard that He Daqing was helping out at He's Restaurant, she went to visit him every now and then.

Since the last time, He Yushui would travel back and forth between the Siheyuan and He's Restaurant whenever he had free time. As a result, the family had significantly more time to meet.

That day, after He Yushui finished his class, he returned to the courtyard as usual and chatted with Zhang Wanting about family matters.

The two were discussing enthusiastically whether to bring He Daqing back to the courtyard to live together. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

However, at this moment, suddenly, Zhang Wanting coughed twice, and the cough seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, a horrifying scene appeared. Zhang Wanting actually coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and then her body went limp and fell backwards.

He Yushui was shocked when he saw this, and his face was instantly filled with panic.

She quickly stepped forward, stretched out her hands and held Zhang Wanting firmly.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? How could this happen?" He Yushui's voice was full of anxiety and worry.

"It's okay, I just have a stomach problem..." Zhang Wanting's voice was a little weak, and she tried to downplay her illness.

"Stomach problem? How long have you had this condition?" He Yushui was shocked and stared at Zhang Wanting, eager to know the severity of the illness.

“It’s been about a month or two…” Zhang Wanting lowered her eyes slightly, her tone flat, as if this was not a serious matter.

"One or two months? Have you gone for a check-up? Does my brother know?" He Yushui widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

She couldn't imagine that her sister-in-law had been ill for such a long time but had never gone to a big hospital for a detailed examination, and had kept it a secret from her brother.

"I got some medicine from Doctor Wang. It's nothing serious. Your brother is usually too busy, so I didn't tell him because I was afraid he would worry."

A gentle smile appeared on Zhang Wanting's face. She always thought about her family and didn't want to cause them any trouble.

"Sister-in-law, you've been sick for so long, and you didn't even go to a big hospital for a checkup. You're playing with your own life!"

He Yushui's voice rose a few degrees, and her tone contained both blame and heartache.

She really couldn't understand why her sister-in-law didn't take her body seriously.

"Yu Shui, it's really okay, I just need to take some medicine!" After saying this, Zhang Wanting struggled to find medicine to take, as if she wanted to use her actions to prove that her condition was not serious.

He Yushui's heart was pounding with anxiety when he saw Zhang Wanting like this.

She knew that she couldn't let her sister-in-law go on like this.

So, she locked the door without saying a word, pulled Ann Hui and walked outside.

"Sister-in-law, let's go. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. No matter if you're okay or not, you need to let the doctor take a good look."

He Yushui's attitude was firm, and his eyes revealed his concern and love for Ann Hui.

They hurriedly took a car to the hospital.

Along the way, He Yushui was feeling very uneasy. She just hoped that her sister-in-law's condition would not be too serious.

Then, things always go against our expectations.

After He Yushui brought Zhang Wanting to the hospital, he quickly registered and paid the fee for Zhang Wanting, and immediately asked the doctor to start a series of examinations for her.

During the examination, Zhang Wanting kept saying, "Yushui, I'm really fine. This is purely romantic money..."

He Yushui didn't care what she said and insisted that she complete all the examinations.

But she knew that when the stomach disease reached the point of vomiting blood, it was already very serious!

The hospital first conducted a routine blood test for Zhang Wanting. The nurse skillfully put a tourniquet on Zhang Wanting's arm and looked for a suitable blood vessel.

When the needle tip pierced the skin, Zhang Wanting frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure.

The blood is slowly drawn and sent to a laboratory for analysis to check for abnormalities such as anemia.

Then I had a gastroscopy, which was a somewhat nerve-wracking examination.

Under the doctor's guidance, Zhang Wanting drank the local anesthetic and waited for the examination to begin.

When the gastroscope was slowly inserted into the esophagus and into the stomach, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she held it in without making a sound.

The doctor uses gastroscopy to carefully observe the condition of the gastric mucosa and look for possible lesions.

Then came the pathological biopsy. During the gastroscopy, the doctor found some suspicious areas and took a small piece of tissue for pathological examination.

Although this process was short, it was full of worries for He Yushui. She knew that Zhang Wanting's illness must be very serious, but she didn't know how serious it was.

In addition, the hospital also performed an abdominal ultrasound examination on her. The probe moved back and forth in Zhang Wanting's abdomen, making a slight buzzing sound.

The doctor looked intently at the images on the screen, observing whether there were any abnormalities in the organs around the stomach.

While waiting for the test results, He Yushui stayed by Zhang Wanting's side and gave her encouragement.

After a long and anxious wait, the test results finally came out.

When the doctor walked towards He Yushui and Zhang Wanting with the examination report and a serious expression, He Yushui's heart instantly rose to his throat.

"Family members of Zhang Wanting, please come to Dr. Li's office..."

"I'm……"

He Yushui stood up in response, and Zhang Wanting was about to follow.

He Yushui knew that the doctor asked her to go alone, and there must be something he wanted to say that he didn't want Zhang Wanting to know, so he said, "Sister-in-law, since the doctor wants me to go, you just wait here for a while!..."

"Yeah..." Zhang Wanting responded.

He Yushui followed the doctor to the office nervously. As soon as she entered the door, she asked anxiously: "Doctor, what happened to my sister-in-law? Is her condition serious?"

The doctor frowned slightly, looked at He Yushui solemnly, and said slowly: "After a series of examinations, we initially diagnosed Zhang Wanting with gastric cancer, which is currently in the middle and late stages."
