Chapter 39 A Woman is Born Weak, but a Mother is Strong
A non-local, suffering from a serious illness.
Three days ago, Lu Xuan found her through an introduction.
His original intention was to bring the actors to understand the current situation of the patient.
This would allow them to better immerse themselves in the scene and improve the acting effect.
But when Lu Xuan pushed open the door and saw the sickly woman on the bed, and... the little girl standing on tiptoe, trying hard to cook, he was immediately overcome with emotion.
"All beings suffer, and when I have the ability, I will choose to lend a helping hand."
After learning about Xu Lan's story, Lu Xuan gave up his initial plan.
In these three days, he often came to visit Xu Lan and the little girl, Xiao Qūnqūn.
And he asked Li Hao to take Xu Lan's medical report to the hospital to get medicine several times.
Xu Lan's body was visibly improving.
For Xiao Qūnqūn, people who are good to her are good people.
People who are good to her mother are great people!
Lu Xuan was willing to give her mother those very, very expensive medicines.
Then Lu Xuan was a very, very good person!
In Xiao Qūnqūn's small world, she was very aware of the price of those medicines. Many things at home had been used up by these medicines.
Her father had also been consumed by this kind of medicine.
Therefore, Lu Xuan became Xiao Qūnqūn's first closest person besides her mother.
As they interacted, Xu Lan also realized that Lu Xuan was a good person.
Originally, Lu Xuan had given up the idea of bringing actors here, but Xu Lan, in order to repay Lu Xuan, took the initiative to ask to come out.
"I have no way to repay such great kindness, only some old stories."
"If Teacher Lu doesn't mind, I'm willing to tell them to others."
Even in such a difficult situation, this woman was still living with dignity.
Lu Xuan did not refuse this repayment.
And in Xu Lan's weak narration, everyone understood the story that happened to her.
Five years ago, Xu Lan's family was very harmonious.
A family of three, after giving birth to Qūnqūn, Xu Lan followed her husband to settle here.
At that time, Qūnqūn had new dresses to wear every month.
If there were no accidents, she would be like countless normal families, growing up healthily like a little princess under the care of her parents.
But the frustrating thing is that fate always goes crazy from time to time.
Xu Lan got cancer.
The moment it was diagnosed, the sky fell!
A three-year battle with the disease began.
In the first year, the house was gone.
In the second year, the relatives ran away.
In the third year, Xu Lan's husband couldn't bear the burden and chose to escape, abandoning Xu Lan and his three-year-old daughter, and has never been seen since.
Xu Lan had questioned fate countless times, why did it treat her like this!
She had also had suicidal thoughts countless times.
But every time she saw her daughter, Xu Lan would feel extremely reluctant.
A woman is inherently weak, but a mother is strong!
Despite all kinds of helplessness, Xu Lan decided to grit her teeth and persevere for her daughter.
This year, Xiao Qūnqūn is five years old.
If the kindergarten hadn't exempted Qūnqūn's tuition, she probably wouldn't even be able to afford school.
There is still warmth in the world. After understanding Xu Lan's situation, neighbors occasionally came to help.
This is also the reason why Xu Lan has been able to persevere until now.
But people have their limits, and everyone has their own lives to live.
Gradually, no one came to visit Xu Lan anymore.
The medicine had long been cut off.
Xu Lan didn't blame them, she only blamed herself for being useless and unable to fight against this damn fate.
If she were alone, Xu Lan might have left this world long ago.
But she couldn't leave her daughter alone, how could she be at ease!
Seeing her body getting weaker and weaker, Xu Lan, a woman who had never believed in Taoism or Buddhism in her life, began to beg bitterly to God.
Anyone will do!
Please, save my daughter!
In the next life, Xu Lan will repay you as a cow or a horse!
I only ask you to save my daughter!
Just as Xu Lan was dying, a gentle and jade-like voice came from outside the door.
"Hello, is this Xu Lan's house?"
At that moment, when Lu Xuan pushed the door open, the sunlight behind him made him look like an angel!
Xiao Qūnqūn was stunned at the time.
She asked in a childish voice, "Uncle, are you Ultraman?"
Ultraman represents light.
The light of hope!
Lu Xuan's arrival did bring hope to this broken family.
Emergency medicine successfully pulled Xu Lan back from the brink of death.
According to the doctor's request, Xu Lan's condition required immediate hospitalization, but Xu Lan refused, and Lu Xuan had no choice but to give up.
"That's enough, Teacher Lu, you've already done too much."
Being able to see a smile on her daughter's face again, Xu Lan felt that she had no regrets in dying.
Then, there was a series of things that followed.
"Teacher Lu, thank you."
After telling the story, Xu Lan looked at Lu Xuan with gratitude.
Xiao Qūnqūn hugged her mother with one hand and Lu Xuan's arm with the other, raised her head and said in a cute voice, "Uncle Lu is the best person in the world!"
Lu Xuan smiled and touched the little girl's head.
"Xiao Qūnqūn is also the best and cutest girl in the world."
"Hehe~ Qūnqūn knows~"
Looking at the interaction between the two, Xu Lan's eyes became more and more gentle.
In the room, except for the voices of Lu Xuan and Xiao Qūnqūn, everyone else remained silent.
They finally understood why Lu Xuan brought them here.
The heavy scene in front of them, and the experience Xu Lan just narrated, allowed them to reach a very high level of understanding of the script.
When acting, it will be twice the result with half the effort!
At the same time, all the actors also began to admire this young director from the bottom of their hearts.
Not everyone can do this much for a stranger they just met three days ago!
On the way here, they all heard Lu Xuan's phone conversation with the hospital.
Now that I think about it, the ambulance should already be on its way.
Just like Xiao Qūnqūn said.
Lu Xuan is a good person.
Also an excellent director!
Outside the window, a sound of 'woo...woo...' came from far and near.
