"Eat first." Fang Meiyun quickly served up the food she had been keeping warm for them and told them to eat.
Yun Xiaoxiao answered their questions while eating, "Du Ruo is sick."
Grandma Fang remembered this girl.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Appendicitis, she had surgery, needs to be hospitalized for a few days."
Surgery?
And a hospital stay?
Grandma Fang knew all too well that hospital stays weren't cheap.
"Sister-in-law, what is appendicitis?" Fang Meiyun genuinely didn't know, she had never heard the term before growing up.
Yun Xiaoxiao, worried that explaining it too technically would confuse them, used simple terms, "It's when a piece of the intestine gets inflamed and must be removed by surgery. If it isn't operated on, the person can just die in agony."
Upon hearing this, Fang Meiyun's face changed, and she looked at Grandma Fang, "Grandma, in the brigade where my grandma lives, someone died just like that in agony."
Grandma Fang was aware of this incident too.
