The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1383: The Importance of a Good Wife

“He also paid for an old man’s medical fees from my estate!”

“Here’s a link. Doctor Tang has appeared on the news before. He’s really a good person!”

…

Many people rushed out to testify for Doctor Tang. Scalpel was also dumbfounded. Everyone had gathered at the last minute to comment on this. Who would prepare an Internet Water Army in advance? If it wasn’t an Internet Water Army, it meant that it was true!

Hence, Scalpel chose to keep quiet…

In reality, in a private mansion.

Bam!

Scalpel smashed his keyboard on the ground and cursed, “F*ck! They are all being f**cking saints! Am I not a f**king good person? Have I not saved enough people? Why the comparison?! What right do they have?!”

Scalpel angrily smashed the keyboard. By the side, his wife hugged her child tightly and bit her lower lip without a word.

After venting his frustration, Scalpel sat on the ground with his head in his arms. He said in frustration, “What did I do wrong? I just want to live a better life. Am I in the wrong? Why do I have to go to that crappy place in the west? I just graduated and managed to establish myself in the city. Why do I have to go back? I don’t want to go back!”

As he shouted, Scalpel turned around and asked his wife, “Wife, was I wrong?”

Scalpel’s wife, Li Ke sighed. She carried the child and walked over to sit down beside him. She said, “Liu Yu, do you know why I married you back then? Back then, you were poor and had nothing…”

Scalpel’s original name was Liu Yu.

Liu Yu said, “Is there a reason for love?”

Li Ke chuckled and said, “Of course there is a reason. Even if you were naive enough to fall in love with another party, it’s because the other party has a spark that makes your eyes light up. Do you know what the spark back then was?”

Liu Yu was stunned. “A spark? What spark?”

Li Ke said, “I remember that the first time I met you, it was during a car accident. A bus toppled over and everyone was injured. Our family drove past and I got out of the car, wanting to help. But I saw a person with blood all over his face shouting, “Everyone, don’t panic. I’m a doctor. Thos with minor injuries, try to help. Those who are heavily injured, don’t move. I’ll help you!”

Everyone did as they were told. The man whose face was covered in blood kept shouting at an old man who was about to lose consciousness, “Don’t sleep. I’m a doctor. Believe me, I can save you as long as you wake up! Think about your family, your wife, your child, grandson, granddaughter…”

“After that, the old man became more awake. As he quickly treated the old man, he spoke to the old man. However, the old man couldn’t hold on much longer. Seeing that the old man was about to close his eyes, he shouted, “Father, look at me!”

“The old man seemed to have a final jolt as he opened his eyes. He looked at him and smiled kindly. He struggled to touch his face and passed away with a smile.

“I remember that the doctor cried. He cried and wailed like a child. The people around cried when they saw this scene…”

Liu Yu lowered his head and did not say a word.

Li Ke continued, “That’s the first time we met. You don’t know how handsome, charming, responsible you were back then. In my eyes, you were a real angel in white! At that moment, I remembered you.”

Liu Yu was silent…

Li Ke continued, “The second time we met was at the scene of that huge earthquake. When I saw you, you had been working for three days and three nights. In order to save people, you were so tired that you collapsed on the ground and needed to be carried away. The first thought you had when you woke up was to go back and save more people… You aren’t aware, but I was also at the scene back then. I was a volunteer nurse.”

Liu Yu opened his mouth in shock.

Li Ke said, “From then on, I knew that I liked you. Back then, my family objected…”

Speaking of this, Li Ke winked mischievously at Liu Yu. “You should know the reason. Back then, you were too poor! A young doctor who just graduated for two years…”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly without saying a word.

Li Ke continued, “I understand you. You’ve gone through so much hardship and you’ve tried your best. It’s not that you’re not kind, but you just… don’t want to suffer anymore.”

Liu Yu said, “I’ve had enough of everyone rolling their eyes. I want to live a better life. I’ll let everyone know that it’s right for you to marry me. I can give you a better life…”

Li Ke continued, “But do you know that there’s no end to the amount of money one can earn? The grass finds the trees to be tall, the trees see the mountains to be tall, and the mountains see the clouds to be tall… What kind of life are you giving me that would be better? In fact, our child and I really don’t have that many wants. We just need our needs met and we hear that your man is really a good man no matter where we go. Or perhaps, when we enter the hospital, we can see patients smiling kindly at us, or if some patients give us some fruits when they discharge from the hospital to express our gratitude…

“That feeling really makes me honored and proud of you.

“But I still have to say that you’re the one who made me the proudest. Your actions during that earthquake—even though you were nameless in that disaster—you’re the greatest hero in my heart! When our child grows up, I’ll tell him that. He’ll definitely be proud of you.

“Liu Yu, I hope you understand that I like you and I love you neither because you can earn money, nor because you’ve learned those amazing medical skills, and are the star at the hospital. It’s not because you’ve won many awards. I love you because you’re a hero!”

Liu Yu shuddered when he heard this.

Li Ke continued, “Liu Yu, when you have time, why don’t you ask yourself why you studied medicine! I believe it’s not just for money and status. Three years. Three years is a long time, but it’s not that long either. I’ll accompany you. We will never leave you.”

With that said, Li Ke stood up and said, “I’ll bring the child out for a walk. Take some time to think about it. Don’t be angry anymore. I’ll cook something delicious for you later…”

When Li Ke left, Liu Yu fell into silence. He sat there and looked at his hands. His mind was filled with memories that he had almost forgotten.

“What should we do about it, Daddy? Do we treat our child’s illness?” In a dilapidated house, a woman was speaking while wiping her tears.

A man smoked a cigarette and frowned, not saying a word.

On the bed, Liu Yu looked at his parents in confusion and his pale brother who was lying on the bed.

“Say something!” shouted the woman.

Liu Yu’s father sighed and said, “How… How do we treat him? We have sold the cow and grain. We have borrowed all the money in the village that can be borrowed.”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu’s father took out a wrinkled, shriveled cloth bag and opened it. There was only some loose change in it. He sighed and said, “That’s all. Thirteen yuan… The doctors said that there’s no cure for our child’s illness.”
