In order to get a positive result, Wang Liang took his wife Zhou Yuping to Changsha Cancer Hospital for a more authoritative examination, but the result was the same: malignant breast tumor.
What makes Zhou Yuping happy is that after her husband Wang Liang learned that she had a malignant tumor, he did not abandon her, but instead raised money everywhere to prepare for her surgery.
The couple had spent all their savings in order to have a child. Now that Zhou Yuping was ill and needed money, Wang Liang began to borrow money from everywhere.

Seeing her husband’s long-lost smile, Zhou Yuping hid her face and cried. Indeed, in the past few years after their marriage, the young couple has experienced too many hardships and endured too much pressure.

The husband who refused to sign
On August 2, 2018, Zhou Yuping and her husband Wang Liang came to Changsha Cancer Hospital again for regular review.
The examination results showed that the cancer cells in Zhou Yuping's body had spread to her head. Surgery must be arranged as soon as possible. If the surgery cannot be performed in time, her life may be in danger at any time.
For the sake of safety, the doctor suggested that Zhou Yuping be hospitalized directly and wait for surgery.
After Zhou Yuping was hospitalized, her husband Wang Liang returned to his hometown in Chenzhou on the pretext of going back to raise money. Zhou Yuping's sister-in-law and sister Zhou Yumei rushed to the hospital to take care of her.

Zhou Yuping felt relieved a lot after having her family by her side. She only hoped that her husband could raise the cost of the surgery as soon as possible when he returned. , treat her disease, after all, she is still young, she still wants to live a few more years.
When Wang Liang learned that his wife Zhou Yuping's condition had worsened and that she needed at least 70,000 yuan for surgery, he realized that his wife's illness was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. He really couldn't afford it, and he was ready to give up.
It’s just that Wang Liang didn’t tell his wife and her family in person. He just lied that he was going back to help his wife raise money for the surgery, and there was no news after he left.
Data map
Zhou Yuping, who had been in the hospital for more than a week, saw that the planned surgery date was approaching and there was no news from her husband, so she prepared to contact her husband to inquire about the situation. .
However, her husband continuously rejected her various contact information. In the evening, he sent her a message: I have tried my best, but I really can’t raise any money. Give up the treatment and go home!
After seeing her husband’s message, Zhou Yuping burst into tears. Her current husband was the last straw for her. If her husband chose to give up, she would lose her last hope.
At this time, the hospital issued a final notice to Zhou Yuping, asking her family members to sign for surgery as soon as possible. If the best time for surgery was missed, her condition would become worse.
In order to get her husband to sign at the hospital, Zhou Yuping, her sister and sister-in-law took turns contacting Wang Liang every day, hoping that he would hurry to the hospital to sign for Zhou Yuping to undergo surgery.
Perhaps his wife's pleading had an effect. On August 14, Wang Liang showed up at the hospital. His sister Zhou Yumei saw her brother-in-law appearing and pulled him aside alone.
After Zhou Yumei met Wang Liang, she asked her brother-in-law what he thought in a tentative tone. Wang Liang directly made his plan clear: no more treatment, and he would take his wife home to rest.
After hearing what Wang Liang said, her sister Zhou Yumei knelt down directly in front of Wang Liang and begged him to save her sister again. After all, her sister Zhou Yuping was still young and she was still young.

Zhou Yumei also said that she and her eldest brother had raised another 40,000 yuan for girls, and hoped that Wang Liang, as her husband, could raise the funds again. For 30,000 yuan, let the little girl have the surgery first.
Seeing his sister kneeling on the ground, Wang Liang remained indifferent and said that he was now heavily in debt and could not raise any money. His wife's illness not only hindered Wang Liang, but also affected his family. .
It turns out that Wang Liang has a younger brother who is not yet married. In order to help his wife see a doctor, his parents used the money originally given to the younger brother’s wedding. Now that the younger brother’s wedding money has been spent, his wife’s illness is still not cured.
Wife’s Secret
Then, Wang Liang went directly to the doctor. After communicating with the doctor alone for more than ten minutes, Wang Liang walked out of the doctor’s office and saw his sister waiting outside the door. Zhou Yumei and her sister-in-law, Wang Liang said lightly: The signing is over!

After hearing that her brother-in-law finally signed the operation drape, Zhou Yumei and her sister-in-law looked at each other and cried happily. They felt that their little sister was saved. But they were happy too early.
When Zhou Yumei and her sister-in-law saw the signature on the operation sheet, their originally happy mood suddenly changed from joy to sadness: they refused surgical treatment and asked to be discharged from the hospital at their own risk!
After three short paragraphs, Zhou Yumei and her sister-in-law didn't even know how to explain to their little sister. They walked back to the little sister's ward with heavy steps.
Zhou Yuping took the surgical drape from her sister. After reading it, she felt dazed and knelt down on the bed, begging her sister and sister-in-law to save her.
The three sisters burst into tears instantly. After their emotions stabilized, Zhou Yuping, who was unwilling, went directly to the corridor to find her husband Wang Liang. She held her husband's hand and refused to let him leave.
Data map
Wang Liang, who was annoyed by his wife, threw away his wife’s arm and shouted at her: Even if you save her temporarily, you I can't give birth to a son either.
Her husband mentioned the child, which once again touched the pain point in Zhou Yuping's heart. She lost control of her emotions and burst into tears. Looking at the crying little sister Zhou Yumei, she couldn't bear it anymore and directly accused her brother-in-law of being ruthless.
Faced with the accusation from his wife’s sister, Wang Liang once again made a shocking statement: Your family worked together to deceive me before marriage. Don’t think I don’t know.
It turns out that Zhou Yuping had a short marriage before. After the marriage, she was abandoned by her husband because she could not have children, so Zhou Yuping married Wang Liangshan, who was 4 years older than her and had an unattractive appearance.
In order for the younger sister to get married smoothly, Zhou Yumei and her elder brother's family concealed the younger sister's first marriage history from Wang Liang's family, and did not inform Wang Liang that the younger sister was infertile.
If Wang Liang was not irritated by his wife's sister, he would not want to mention his wife's unbearable past. After all, family scandals should not be made public.
Data map
In Wang Liang’s view, he had too many reasons to refuse to help his wife treat her illness, and his wife just wanted to live a few more days. , his wife is too selfish without considering his feelings.
Wang Liang felt that in order to help his wife treat her illness, he spent all his money and even went into debt. This is true. Now he really cannot help his wife treat her illness.
Even if I raise money to temporarily cure my wife's disease, who can guarantee that it will not relapse in the future? It is still unknown whether she can be cured if she relapses again.
To put it another way, if the wife's disease is cured, it can last for several years, but the wife cannot have children and cannot even have a wife, so what is the point of curing the disease.
Therefore, Wang Liang thought twice before deciding to give up treating his wife. He felt that as a husband, he had really tried his best.
Zhou Yuping’s sister-in-law, as an observer, felt that the main issue was money after listening to her brother-in-law’s words. It was precisely because she had no money for medical treatment that her brother-in-law refused to sign for continued treatment.
The sister-in-law asked for help for her younger sister. Zhou Yuping’s experience quickly attracted the attention of many enthusiastic people. With the help of many kind-hearted people, the surgery fee was quickly collected.
After seeing that the surgery fee had been paid, Wang Liang finally signed on his wife’s surgery sheet: Agree to the surgery!

Indeed, for Wang Liang, it is too difficult to choose whether to sign or not. If he signs, he has to shoulder the responsibility of the husband and raise money for his wife's medical treatment. The reality is that he really cannot raise the money; if he doesn't sign, he has to accept moral condemnation and have an uneasy conscience.
However, no matter how tortuous the process was, in the end Wang Liang still signed his name on his wife's surgery drape, and the ending was quite satisfactory.
