The three n in the room looked at her in surprise.
“Wife, how co you’re up so early? Did you hear Fourth Brother…” Yuchuan’s words trailed off.
She nodded, “Fourth Brother has been having episodes for a few days now?” “Three days.” Chuan said.
Su Qingyue’s face filled with guilt, “I’m sorry, Fourth Brother. I’ve known that your body has been in pain for the past few days.”
“Wife…”
“Yue’er…”
Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan called her na in confusion.
Xiao Qinghe didn’t mind her words, he just endured the unbearable pain all over his body, with sweatdrops rolling down his forehead.
Su Qingyue had asked about Fourth Brother’s condition. Fourth Brother told her that the pain started four years ago, after his legs beca paralyzed and numb. Doctor Sun from the village was unable to help, so Second Brother and Third Brother took him to the town.
The doctor in town prescribed dicine for him. He had to take one dose of dicine every day, which was very expensive for this family. It costs three taels of silver for dicine each month.
She said lightly, “The dicine Fourth Brother takes every day can alleviate the pain, and the agony won’t flare up. But once the dicine stops, the pain will flare up imdiately.””I’m a drag on our family…” Xiao Qinghe’s eyes were filled with deep guilt. “No,” Xiao Yuchuan said with a pained face, “Fourth Brother, it’s my fault that you were hurt…”
“It’s nothing to do with you…” Xiao Qinghe gritted his teeth, barely bearing the pain.
“This is the second ti I heard you say that you’re the reason for Fourth
Brother’s injury,” Su Qingyue raised her eyebrow, “What happened?”
“It happened four years ago. One day, I was working as a temporary worker in town and suddenly fainted. Worried about , Fourth Brother went to look for , carrying on his back to a doctor. However, the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong, so Fourth Brother carried back to the village. On the way back in heavy rain, there was a landslide, and a huge rock rolled down from the mountain. Fourth Brother managed to throw out of the way, but his legs were crushed by the rock…” Xiao Yuchuan wanted to continue speaking, but Xiao Qinghe said, “Third Brother, don’t say more…”
“My wife should know the truth.” Yuchuan’s face was full of remorse, “If it weren’t for , Fourth Brother, you wouldn’t have been in this predicant. Everything is my fault!”
“Third Brother, I never blad you. If I could do it all again, I would still make the sa choice, ” said Xiao Qinghe, squeezing out a comforting smile with his handso, pale face.
“Fourth Brother…” Xiao Yuchuan was deeply moved.
Su Qingyue’s expression turned serious as she spoke, “According to dical knowledge, Fourth Brother’s pain is neuropathic. The pathology can be divided into injury-related or inflammatory pain. Fourth Brother wasn’t like this before, only after losing sensation in both legs. This pain should have been caused by the injury. Neuropathic pain has always been a challenging issue in the dical field because the treatnt with dicine is often ineffective, causing much suffering for many patients. I’ve seen the dicine Fourth Brother takes, and it can only suppress the condition without any therapeutic effect. He has been taking the dicine for four years, and he’s already beco addicted to it. Once he stops taking the dicine, the pain will be worse than before. However, if he continues taking the dicine, he’ll be relying on it for the rest of his life.’
What she didn’t say was that even if he stopped taking the dicine now, he probably wouldn’t be able to do without it unless Fourth Brother possessed extrely strong willpower.
“What can we do?” Xiao Yuchuan was deeply worried and wished he could bear the pain for his brother.
“Fourth Brother hasn’t taken any dicine for three days now, and if he thinks the pain will only get worse and never go away, it will affect how he feels, making the pain even worse.” She sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to undo Xiao Qinghe’s clothes.
Xiao Qinghe’s body stiffened for a mont, and his handso, pale face reddened slightly..
