Chapter 174 Congenital Heart Disease
However, Su Nuannuan still held the same opinion as before. Rather than starting as a common soldier in the army, it would be better to go directly to military academy and study for a few years. Otherwise, with Su Erqiang's intelligence, it would be very difficult for him to make a name for himself in the army.

Chen Xiuting didn't want her son to join the army. Although it's peacetime now, Chen Xiuting's impression of military service is still filled with images of life and death. She was worried that her son would get hurt.

Seeing that her second son had become interested in joining the army because of her eldest son-in-law, Chen Xiuting glared at Su Erqiang and said to Cheng Qian.

"Xiaoqian, Erqiang is going to take the college entrance exam next year. We can talk about joining the army later."

Upon hearing Chen Xiuting's words, Su Erqiang, who had been excited, immediately wilted.

Although Cheng Qian appeared to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was quite shrewd. He immediately realized that Chen Xiuting didn't want Su Erqiang to join the army, so he didn't continue the topic.

"Mom, you must be tired. Let's go home first."

Chen Xiuting nodded.

Along the way, Chen Xiuting asked a lot of questions about Yueyue's situation.

Cheng Qian took a bundle from Chen Xiuting and patiently answered her questions.

Su Nuannuan and the three Su brothers followed quietly behind the two.

This was Su Nuannuan's first time meeting Cheng Qian. She secretly sized him up.

Cheng Qian, whom the eldest sister chose at first glance, had a very upright appearance. His square face, high nose, thick eyebrows, and big eyes gave him a righteous air, which was the most popular look in this era.

Moreover, perhaps due to years of fitness training, my brother-in-law is very strong and walks with a steady gait, giving people a very reliable feeling.

Chen Xiuting and Cheng Qian were talking in front, while Su Nuannuan and the others listened quietly in the back.

It was only then that they learned what illness the second sister's youngest daughter had.

My second sister's youngest daughter is only eight months old. She was diagnosed with congenital heart disease a week ago.

It is said that this was caused by incomplete development.

After confirming her youngest daughter's illness, Su Mianmian had her other two sons examined. The good news was that both sons were healthy and neither had heart disease.

The bad news is that heart disease is a terminal illness, and it can flare up every month if the body is exposed to any stressor. Moreover, there are currently almost no effective drugs for treating heart disease in China.

Moreover, Yueyue is still so young, and her body cannot tolerate the medication well. This disease is almost incurable for an infant who is only a few months old.

When the Su family heard about Yueyue's illness, they all frowned.

Although they weren't doctors, they knew that heart-related illnesses could be fatal.

Of the group, Su Nuannuan understood best that heart disease was practically a death sentence in this era. Not only was there no possibility of a cure, but there weren't even any medications to control the condition.

Originally, Su Nuannuan thought she could use the space's abilities to help Yueyue recover from her illness.

Now, Su Nuannuan has no confidence at all.

She felt that even the spiritual spring water in her space couldn't cure her heart disease. Unless the other person received a heart transplant.

In the 60s, there were only 5000 successful heart transplant surgeries worldwide. Now, there probably aren't even one in China.

Su Nuannuan has no shortage of medication, but finding a suitable heart for transplantation is a problem.

Unless, of course, I can go abroad now. But if I go abroad, I won't be able to come back every month. Otherwise, I'll still suffer in a few years.

Moreover, even if she goes abroad every month, it will still affect her family back home.

Su Nuannuan rubbed her temples, feeling that this matter was really too troublesome.

Ever since Cheng Qian mentioned Yueyue's illness, everyone has felt somewhat depressed.

Although they had never met this little niece, everyone still felt sorry for the youngest child. Even Su Erqiang, who was usually the most lively and energetic, fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Cheng Qian quickly changed the subject.

"However, Yueyue's illness is now under control, so there's no need to worry."

Chen Xiuting nodded, but still looked preoccupied.

Seeing his mother-in-law's reaction, Cheng Qian regretted revealing the truth.

Cheng Qian still respected his mother-in-law. She never asked his wife to send anything home, and whenever there was something good in the house, she would think of his wife first.

Compared to other military families in the compound, Cheng Qian felt that his family was much more harmonious.

Seeing that Chen Xiuting seemed a little down, Su Nuannuan took her hand and said...

"Mom, my eldest and second eldest sisters live on an island, they must be lacking a lot of things. Let's go buy them some things to take with us later."

Su Nuannuan's suggestion hit the nail on the head for Chen Xiuting.

She brought two hundred yuan with her this time, intending to buy things for her eldest and second daughters. Although she knew her two sons-in-law's families didn't lack anything, as a mother, she still wanted to do her part.

Chen Xiuting immediately agreed with Su Nuannuan.

“Nuannuan is right. In a little while, we’ll go buy some things and then go see your eldest and second eldest sisters.”

Upon hearing their conversation, Cheng Qian quickly intervened, saying...

"Mom, little sister, there's no need to buy anything. We have plenty of things at home. If Jinjin knew I was here and still asked you to go shopping, she would definitely scold me to death."

After saying that, Cheng Qian put on a pitiful expression, making him look like someone who was often suppressed by his wife at home.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuting immediately raised her eyebrows and said.

"She dares! Xiaoqian, don't be afraid. When I get home, I'll take care of her for you."

Upon hearing Chen Xiuting's words, Cheng Qian worried that she might actually go after Su Jinjin, so he put away his pitiful expression and spoke gently.

"Thank you, Mom. But Jinjin is usually very good to me. I'm just worried about you. You must be tired after three days on the train. Besides, Jinjin and my second sister both want to see you right away. Shall we go home first?"

Chen Xiuting still missed her two daughters very much. Hearing Cheng Qian's words, she immediately agreed.

Su Nuannuan, standing to the side, was utterly dumbfounded.

She remembered that although her eldest sister was beautiful and dignified, she was actually a bit simple-minded and straightforward. Usually, she relied on her second sister to come up with ideas and plans behind the scenes.

I originally thought my brother-in-law was a righteous and upright person.

However, Su Nuannuan soon discovered that her brother-in-law's personality was completely opposite to her sister's. Su Nuannuan was certain that her brother-in-law's heart was as thin as a lotus root.

In fact, apart from Chen Xiuting, who was fooled by Cheng Qian, and Su Erqiang, who was very clever, everyone else could see that Cheng Qian was exceptionally cunning.

However, although Cheng Qian was cunning, he wasn't a bad person; Su Nuannuan could sense the integrity in his gaze. Even when he was being cunning, he did it openly and honestly.

Su Nuannuan was not averse to this.

Cheng Qian, through deception, led Chen Xiuting towards the island.

Su Nuannuan and the others followed behind them.
