"Don't worry, Mom is in the early stages. The doctor has already performed surgery on her."
"The doctor said that as long as Mom takes her medication on time and continues treatment, she can live for another ten years."
I let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, everything is still manageable.
Fortunately, Mom has Breast Cancer.
Breast Cancer is the least severe type of cancer; as long as the surgery is successful, living for another ten years is completely feasible.
I told Mom, "From now on, I'll take you and Dad for a Physical Examination every year. If we have any illnesses, we'll treat them; if not, we'll focus on prevention."
Mom smiled and said, "Your dad is in good health; it's just me who has a weak constitution and gets sick easily."
"This time was just bad luck; you happened to catch it."
"Otherwise, I was planning to keep it from you."
I frowned and said, "Mom, don't think like that. If you're sick, you need to get treated."
"If you and Dad dare to hide anything from me, I'll cut ties with both of you."
Mom quickly replied, "Alright, alright! I promise I won't keep anything from you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Dad sent me the medical bill.
I immediately transferred the money to Mom.
My parents are reluctant to spend money, so I have to take care of it for them.
After a while, I plan to quit my job and come home to find work so I can take care of them.
I had everything planned out perfectly.
Just then, my parents returned home.
They were shocked when they saw my crutches.
" Shanshan, what happened to your foot?"
" Shanshan, you were doing fine at work; why did you suddenly come back?"
" Shanshan, did someone bully you?"
Mom rolled up her sleeves, revealing her thin arms. "Who bullied my daughter? Just wait until I get my hands on them."
Seeing the cane in my hand, my parents looked at me with concern.
"Oh dear, my precious daughter, what have you been through?"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go out to work."
Dad slammed his hand on the table. "Which scoundrel did this? Just wait until I deal with him."
I tugged at my parents' hands and smiled. "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."
Their eyes turned red as they hugged me tightly, crying uncontrollably.
"My poor daughter."
"I'm so sorry, we let you suffer outside."
I patted their backs gently. "Really, I'm okay."
"I've already quit my job; I'll be developing my career back home from now on."
My parents exchanged glances, hesitating. " Shanshan, do you want to return to the family business?"
"But the family business is all about selling insurance. You can't do that right now with your injury."
I chuckled. "Mom and Dad, I'm not going into insurance."
"I want to farm back home."
My parents were taken aback.
Dad hesitated. " Shanshan, are you serious?"
"You’re still young; you might think farming is easy now."
"But when you get older, you'll realize how hard it is to farm."
Mom chimed in, " Shanshan, listen to your mother."
"The country is currently promoting agriculture vigorously. As a college student from the village, you're perfect for farming."
"We may not have the means to help you, but since you want to farm, we will definitely support you."
I nodded. "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will work hard."
Originally, I planned to use the two hundred thousand from the insurance compensation to start a farming venture in the countryside. Little did I know, before I even had a chance to tell my parents, they had already made up their minds about it. I felt a wave of emotion wash over me. My parents were truly wonderful.
Just then, my aunt arrived. She teased, "Yesterday, when your dad and I found out you were coming back, we were so happy we couldn't sleep at night."
"Your dad insisted on going to town for a haircut, but halfway through, he realized the barber had missed a patch on the back of his head."
"He was afraid it would scare you, so he didn't dare come in."
I glanced at my dad and noticed that indeed, there was a noticeable bald spot on the back of his head, making him look quite comical. I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Dad rubbed the back of his head and said, " Shanshan, you finally smiled."
"Well, Dad, as long as you're happy."
I laughed so hard that tears streamed down my face. After returning to the village, I felt joy every day. My parents prepared all sorts of delicious food for me daily, and I enjoyed every bite.
