The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang asked He Jiali to stay home and take care of the child, while he rushed to the hospital with He Jiawen.

In the hospital corridor, Liu Meixin and He Wenshi sat there nervously, their eyes fixed on the door of the emergency room.

"Mom, how is Dad?" He Jiawen ran to his mother's side and asked.

"Jiawen, Youmin, you've finally arrived." Upon seeing her daughter, Liu Meixin seemed to release her emotions and burst into tears, unable to answer any questions.

He Wenshi was relatively calmer and said to Wang Gang, "Youmin, your father vomited not long after he finished eating, and then he fainted. We were so scared that we called you."

Wang Gang comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll go find the doctor to ask about the situation."

Because He Changsheng didn't take Wang Gang to the hospital where he worked, he could only ask acquaintances for information.

Fortunately, Wang Gang was well-known in the medical community in Huainan and quickly found out about He Changsheng's situation.

He Changsheng's condition was more serious than Wang Gang had anticipated; he had developed acute renal failure.

He Changsheng had one kidney removed in a car accident in 84, and now his remaining kidney is also having problems. There is no other way but to get a kidney transplant.

However, this surgery cannot be performed by just any hospital, and it also involves the availability of a kidney.

After Wang Gang told Liu Meixin and the others about He Changsheng's situation, He Jiawen's face turned extremely pale.

"A kidney transplant? Then hurry up and get it done!" Liu Meixin was extremely anxious when she saw that her daughter and son-in-law were not saying anything.

"Mom, a kidney transplant isn't that simple." He Jiawen said, his face darkening. "Leaving aside the surgery itself, no one in the entire Huainan can do it, and finding a kidney is also a problem!"

"What kind of kidney source?" He Wenshi asked.

Wang Gang patiently explained, "A kidney transplant is to replace Dad's dead kidney with a healthy one. This surgery is extremely difficult, and what's even more troublesome is how to obtain a fresh, healthy kidney."

Liu Meixin didn't understand and asked in a daze, "Is this kidney so hard to find?"

He Jiawen said, "This new kidney is usually taken from a person who has just died, and it must be a match for Dad's body. The probability of this is very, very low, almost impossible."

Liu Meixin and He Wenshi were extremely anxious and cried out, "Isn't there any other way?"

Wang Gang lowered his head and said, "Actually, there's another way!"

A glimmer of hope rose in Liu Meixin's heart, and she hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Wang Gang glanced at He Jiawen but remained silent for a long time.

He Wenshi noticed a problem and asked, "Youmin, is this method too difficult?"

He Jiawen let out a deep breath and said, "Honey, are you trying to say something about live organ transplantation?"

Wang Gang frowned and said, "Living transplantation is too dangerous; anything can happen during the surgery!"

He Jiawen said firmly, "I can't just stand by and watch my father die!"

Mrs. He said urgently, "At a time like this, you two should stop playing games!"

Liu Meixin also said, "Tell me quickly if you have any ideas! Does it cost money? I'll sell the house to raise money as long as it can save your father."

He Jiawen sighed and said, "Mom, there's another way. We need someone to volunteer to donate a kidney to Dad. Ideally, this person should be related to Dad by blood so that the organs can be matched!"

Liu Meixin and He Wenshi were both stunned. Although they were not highly educated, they understood what kidney donation meant.

He Wenshi immediately said, "I am Changsheng's mother, I will donate this kidney."

"Mom," Liu Mei said anxiously, "You're so old, how can you go on the operating table!"

Wang Gang said, "Grandma, you're too old to be a kidney donor. The only people who can donate kidneys these days are Dad's six daughters!" Liu Meixin asked anxiously, "Can't I use my kidney?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "It's best if they are blood relatives, so that there will be less rejection reaction in the future."

Liu Meixin couldn't help but look at He Jiawen, then shook her head fiercely.

"No, your father would never agree to the sisters donating kidneys."

He Jiawen held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, donating a kidney isn't something we can just do whenever we want. We have to do a matching test first, and only if we meet the requirements can we donate."

"That won't do either," Liu Meixin cried. "It's a kidney!"

“A person has two kidneys; they can live even with one less,” He Jiawen advised. “But Dad can’t wait any longer!”

With tears welling up in her eyes, Liu Meixin said, "Youmin, Jiawen, is there really no other way?"

He Jiawen said frankly, "Mom, let's call my eldest sister and the others to the hospital for matching first! We can talk about other things after the matching results come out."

Liu Meixin was completely at a loss and couldn't help but look at He Wenshi: "Mom, what do you say?"

Without hesitation, Ms. He Wen said, "No need to say more, having the children donate kidneys is absolutely unacceptable!"

He Jiawen tried to persuade her mother and grandmother for a while, but they were unusually adamant. In the end, He Jiawen could only secretly call her sisters to the hospital.

He Jiali, He Jiayi, and He Jiaxi rushed to the hospital immediately. The fourth sister, He Jiahuan, did not meet the requirements for kidney donation because she had just given birth, so He Jiawen did not call her. The fifth sister, Liu Xiaoling, was in the south and could not come back in a short time. So the four sisters could only discuss it among themselves.

He Jiali immediately decided to get a transplant, as did her third sister He Jiayi, but her sixth sister He Jiaxi hesitated.

"Big sister, second sister, I'm not married yet, I haven't had any children, will it be okay if I lose a kidney?" He Jiaxi asked fearfully.

"Sixth brother, what do you mean? Do you want to watch Dad die?" the third brother, He Jiayi, scolded.

"Of course I don't want Dad to die, but I'm scared!" He Jiaxi narrowed her small eyes and burst into tears on the spot.

"Forget it, Lao Liu is still young. Let's go get a matching test first!" He Jiali sighed and said, "Maybe if I'm a match, you won't have to donate a kidney."

“Okay.” He Jiawen took his sisters to get tested for bone marrow transplants, not daring to waste a minute.

An hour later, the three He sisters returned to see Liu Meixin with the matching report.

"Mom, none of the three of us were a match, now only the sixth child is left!" He Jiali said with a troubled expression.

Upon hearing this, He Jiaxi's legs went weak, and he immediately hugged his mother, Liu Meixin, crying out, "Mom, I don't want to donate a kidney, please, don't make me donate a kidney!"

Liu Meixin was in a state of confusion. On one side was her husband, with whom she had spent half her life, and on the other side was her own daughter. Both were her flesh and blood, and she really couldn't choose!

At this moment, Wang Gang came out of the emergency room and said to everyone, "Dad is awake, and he wants to see you all!"

Everyone rushed into the emergency room and saw He Changsheng lying on the hospital bed, his face pale.

He Changsheng's first words to everyone were: "Let me go!"

“Dad,” He Jiali and He Jiawen knelt beside their father’s bed and cried, “We will definitely save you.”

He Changsheng said weakly, "Youmin told me about the kidney donation, and I will not accept your kidney."

He Jiali and the others were shocked, but He Jiaxi showed a hint of joy on her face!
He Changsheng said weakly, "You are all good children, but as a father, I can never accept my child's kidney. I would rather die than accept it!"

"Dad, please don't say such things. You gave us our lives. You would give us anything, even our lives, let alone a kidney," He Jiali cried.

Liu Meixin and He Wenshi were already sobbing uncontrollably. (End of Chapter)
