"...Doctor, come and see my baby, he jumped into the river——"
Mrs. Wang walked and howled all the way. While feeling sad, she also did not forget to tell everyone in the village that her youngest son had no money to get married and died in love with a girl.
More and more people were watching behind me.
Song Chunhong's eyes flashed with resentment, and she wanted to speak several times: "No! Zheng Du didn't fall into coma because he jumped into the river!"
"He was already awake, but he was knocked unconscious by your own mother!"
But Song Chunhong didn't dare.
After more than ten years of marriage, she was used to being exploited by her mother-in-law.
Furthermore, Zheng Du looked pitiful, and her mother-in-law was already a little confused because of Zheng Du's injury.
What if she opens her mouth to explain and gets into a quarrel with her mother-in-law and makes her angry again?
When the time comes, it's not her fault, it's also her fault.
Song Chunhong has been a good daughter-in-law for so many years, and she really doesn’t want to be accused of being unfilial and unethical for no reason.
Song Chunhong could only glance at her husband.
He Tiantian: ...Dear, don’t look at me! I still want to maintain the character of the original owner.
He Tiantian lowered her head and did not argue with her mother's words, as if she acquiesced.
Zheng Qi couldn't hold it back and pretended to be confused. He turned around and whispered to his brother Zheng Shu: "Didn't our fourth uncle wake up on the riverside?"
If there were any more, it would be difficult to say anything to Zheng Qi.
He is neither too old nor too young now, and he can still pretend to be "childlike".
However, since he is a child who is not too sensible, he cannot speak too much or too thoroughly.
However, this sentence can already remind the onlookers of the villagers.
"Yes! Mrs. Wang, your fourth child did fall into the water, but he woke up after being rescued!"
"That's right, you accidentally fell and knocked Mr. Zheng unconscious!"
"Isn't that right? With a bang, the back of my head fell directly to the ground. That sound gave me a toothache!"
The villagers talked a lot and were not polite at all.
Mrs. Wang choked and her face turned red.
She felt aggrieved and wanted to scold her back, but considering that these villagers were not her sons, they would not fight back or scold them.
If a quarrel breaks out and the other party says something, it will not end well for Mrs. Wang.
"If my baby hadn't jumped into the river, and I was worried that he would choke on the water, would I be able to fall?"
"Boss, do you also think that I harmed the fourth child?"
Mrs. Wang couldn't hold it back. She didn't dare to get angry at the villagers, but she dared to yell at her eldest son.
He Tiantian nodded and shook his head. His dull look made him look a bit useless.
The people around him couldn't help but secretly shake their heads.
Alas, Mr. Zheng is good at everything, but he is too filial to his mother.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t be filial to your elders, but everything must be done in a certain manner.
Once it's passed, it's easy to get into trouble.
Look at Mrs. Wang, and then look at Mr. Zheng. When Carpenter Zheng was here, they didn't do this either.
Mrs. Wang was partial to others, but she was not as extreme as she is now. She could not tolerate anyone else except her youngest son.
There is also Zheng Laosi. In the past, he was unwilling to work because of his weak body, but he still pretended to do so.
After the arrogant Carpenter Zheng died, the mother and son were like Sun Houhou without the curse, unwilling to even pretend.
The villagers couldn't stand it, but Boss Zheng always thought that he was the boss and the eldest brother, and indulged in all kinds of ways.
Now Zheng Laosi is starting to "sacrifice his love" in order to get married... Humph, it's all Zheng Laosheng who is used to it.
"I heard that Xiao Zhiqing's family asked for a bride price of 200 yuan, and they also wanted to buy a watch. In order to make money, Zheng Laosi wanted to marry the boss's eldest daughter to Butcher Wang!"
"Ouch, that's the old widower who beat his two wives to death? He's already thirty-five this year, right?"
"Yes, I heard that he is a few years younger than Mr. Zheng!"
"...The boss's wife is such a good-tempered person. She was so angry that she had a quarrel with Boss Zheng and took the children back to her parents' home!"
"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Zheng is so evil. In order to find a wife for himself, he pushed his niece into the pit of fire!"
"Why is it a fire pit? Although Butcher Wang is a bit old and a third-marriage man, he is a regular employee of the town's slaughterhouse..."
"Hey, from Zheng Laowei'er's family, are you greedy? You hate that you don't have a suitable daughter to marry Butcher Wang? There is really no way. Who asked you to give away a daughter? At that time, you must not have imagined that
, you can also earn some gift money by raising a daughter!”
The villagers first discussed the affairs of Zheng Yu's family.
As he talked, he started talking about this.
Before He Tiantian and others carried Zheng Du to the health center, someone in the crowd started fighting.
Well, they are two middle-aged and elderly women.
One was pulling out his hair, the other was scratching his face, and while he was doing it, he was cursing at the same time.
He Tiantian:......
Tsk, why did you end up eating melon on yourself?
Although she was vomiting in her heart, He Tiantian still had a worried and distressed look on her face.
She vividly interprets the image of a dull teacher and a mother's baby.
"Doctor! Doctor, come and show my little brother!"
"He hit his head, oh no, he fell into the water before he hit his head!"
He Tiantian explained the real situation first so as not to delay the doctor's consultation.
Then, he added that it was to save face for the cheap old lady Wang.
She is a filial son, how can she say that her younger brother was knocked unconscious by her own mother?
Although this is true, the truth cannot be said!
Mrs. Wang: ...you have said everything you can and cannot say.
"That's right! Zheng Laosi originally sat up, but his mother hit him hard, and the back of his head hit the ground!"
"That's it……"
There was an enthusiastic villager who was "afraid" that He Tiantian didn't understand what he said, so he explained carefully and performed with gestures.
He recounted the entire process of Zheng Laosi's "injury" in detail.
Mrs. Wang's face turned even more ugly.
Song Chunhong breathed out quietly. Fortunately, everyone saw the truth and their family's reputation was saved!
Zheng Qi and Zheng Shu were also secretly relieved.
The doctor at the health center is a barefoot doctor and an old resident of Zhengjia Village. He attended a private school and is the most educated person in Zhengjia Village. He is nicknamed "Zheng Xiucai".
Of course, Zheng Xiucai was not a real scholar. His family had been practicing medicine for generations. After liberation, he studied in the county hospital for several months and obtained the medical qualification.
He knew how to give injections and got some Western medicine tablets from the county hospital.
But what he is best at is Chinese medicine!
He habitually picked up Zheng Du's wrist and felt the pulse.
Then, he asked He Tiantian to hold Zheng Du's head and carefully check whether there were wounds or bleeding on the back of the head.
After some inspection, Zheng Xiucai was not sure.
Because this part of the brain is too complex, not to mention in this era of backward medical conditions, even in later generations filled with various advanced medical instruments, doctors dare not easily diagnose this part.
"There's no bleeding or bulging. Let's take a look first. If Xiaosi can wake up and doesn't vomit or feel dizzy, then everything will be fine!"
"If he still can't wake up at night, or if he wakes up and feels uncomfortable, he should be sent directly to the county hospital!"
Zheng Xiucai was very cautious and his words were impeccable.
He didn't even prescribe any medicine, give an injection, or collect any money. He just asked He Tiantian and others to carry Zheng Du away.
Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied, "Zheng Xiucai, you finally woke up my baby!"
She was always in a coma, and Mrs. Wang felt unsure.
Zheng Xiucai:......
I'm just a barefoot doctor, I don't have that much ability.
In fact, given the current medical conditions, if you hit your head or the back of your head, even if you go to the county hospital or provincial hospital, there is no good solution.
Can only wait!
Wait until the patient wakes up and see the patient's specific reaction before proceeding with the next step of treatment.
"Why don't you go to the county hospital!"
Zheng Xiucai spread his hands and said that he had no choice.
“If you go to the county hospital, go to the county hospital!”
Mrs. Wang was already angry, but now that Zheng Xiucai was so agitated, she became even more angry.
"Okay! I, I will go to the brigade headquarters to borrow a carriage!"
As a king-level mama's boy, He Tiantian naturally listens to whatever his mother says.
Zheng Qi was secretly worried. He knew that his fourth uncle was simply pretending to be ill.
Once you go to the hospital, the doctor doesn't care whether you are faking it or not. You have to pay before you enter the hospital. A complete examination will cost at least ten yuan.
If Fourth Uncle continues to pretend and wants to be hospitalized... Without a hundred dollars, Fourth Uncle can't even think of walking out of the hospital.
And all of this was paid for by his own father.
Will Fourth Uncle calm down after leaving the hospital?
wrong!
He will not!
He also wants to marry Xiao Zhiqing.
That Xiao Zhiqing is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
The fourth uncle dragged someone to "die for love", but they turned around and refused to admit it. They even spread rumors that the fourth uncle wanted to play a rogue way against her.
These days, being a hooligan is a serious crime, and you may be sentenced to a prison sentence in the least case, or you may be walled in the most serious case.
The fourth uncle is grandma's pet peeve, and the old lady will never let her baby have to endure this.
Therefore, she will continue to force her biological father to get money.
My father was a farmer who knew some craftsmanship, and all the money he earned from making furniture for others was given to his mother.
Grandma has money, but she won't take it out easily.
But with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl like Zheng Qin at home, her grandma would rather sell her granddaughter than touch her own private money.
In the end, I still have to sacrifice my sister.
Zheng Qi would never let his sister marry that domestically violent scumbag.
Although he can support his sister, he can also stop that bastard from bullying her anymore.
But, why do you still jump into it when you clearly know that the other party is a cesspool?
Even if you can't drown, you will still be covered in feces.
However, Zheng Qi could not say these words.
He couldn't even "suspect" that his fourth uncle was pretending to be ill.
First, there is no evidence.
Zheng Du is so good at pretending that even if he doesn't open his eyes, the doctor can't do anything about it.
Secondly, he is a junior, and if he shouts it out rashly, outsiders will gossip.
If not, this fire will burn my own father and mother.
Zheng Qi cannot let his parents bear the charge of "unfriendly siblings".
Zheng Qi saw that his own father was already stumbling out and running out. Time was urgent and he could not think too much.
He gritted his teeth, then took hold of Zheng Du's hand, squeezing the opponent's jaw with all his strength.
Well, actually, if possible, Zheng Qi would like to directly kill him.
But this action is too obvious. Not to mention the villagers watching, even Mrs. Wang can also dance.
Zheng Qi retreated and settled for the next best thing, and could only pinch Zheng Du hard.
In this position, the porcelain is pinched hard and it is quite painful.
really--
Zheng Du shouted "Ouch" and almost jumped up.
Everyone around was frightened. Even "Zheng Yu" who had run out of the health center and was hurriedly bending down to pick up his black cloth shoes was staggered by fright.
what's going on?
Zheng Du is awake?
"Fourth uncle, are you okay?"
Zheng Qi held back his laughter, pretending to be concerned, and asked urgently.
As soon as Zheng Du woke up, he was in a trance.
Seeing that his eyes were temporarily out of focus, Zheng Qi thought and shouted deliberately, "Xiao Zhiqing, why are you here?"
Hearing the "familiar" name, Zheng Du turned his head instinctively, "Where? Where is he?"
How could there be any hint of "sickness" in that eager look?
"snort!"
Song Chunhong couldn't bear it anymore and let out a cold snort from her nose.
No matter how much she said, she still didn't dare to say anything.
But at this moment, the word "hum" was enough to express her dissatisfaction.
And everyone around them also understood——
Tsk, Mr. Zheng is pretending to be sick again!
Why do you say "again"?
In the past ten years, Mrs. Wang has always talked about my baby's poor health.
When he was a child, Zheng Du was really thin and small, and he looked like he couldn't support himself.
But in recent years, Zheng Du has grown taller than his eldest brother and is fairer and fatter. He doesn't look like a sickly person.
He happened to get sick several times every year. When he went to the health center, Zheng Xiucai took his pulse, but he couldn't figure out why.
Mrs. Wang is a very good person. She doesn't blame her son for pretending to be ill, but she blames Zheng Xiucai for his poor medical skills.
Zheng Xiucai was the only barefoot doctor in two brigades and four or five villages, and he also had a temper.
After being told too much, Zheng Xiucai said directly: "Yes, I really don't see what's wrong with your fourth child! His pulse is stronger than most people in the production brigade!"
"Yes! You're right! Maybe your little four has some hidden disease. You should take him to a big hospital in the county and have a good look at it!"
Of course Mrs. Wang is not afraid of Zheng Xiucai's run on her.
Immediately, I took my son to the county hospital.
After a thorough examination, it turned out that there was nothing serious wrong with her, and she was even scolded by doctors and nurses.
By this time, Mrs. Wang herself understood that her youngest son was probably pretending to be ill.
But as an excellent mother who is partial to her younger son, she not only won't expose it, but also helps Zheng Du cover it up.
When Zheng Du pretended to be sick again, Mrs. Wang took him to the health center and persuaded Zheng Xiucai to prescribe some warming tonics for him.
Zheng Xiucai: ...Huh, if it weren't for the fact that you pay 10 cents for the consultation fee every time, I wouldn't even bother to take care of you.
Zheng Xiucai was very professional. After receiving the money, he treated Zheng Du as a patient.
As a doctor, you will not tell others about your patient's condition.
I just thought of it and helped Zheng Du to cover up.
But, this kind of thing happens so many times that even if the doctor doesn't expose it, people around you can probably guess the clues.
Especially since the Zheng family also has a daughter-in-law, Song Chunhong is indeed honest, but she is not a dumpling. Sometimes she will complain when she gets angry.
Neighbors like to listen in the corner, so naturally they heard the wind.
Of course, the key is that Zheng Du’s appearance is too outstanding——
Those who are said to be strong laborers are dark and thin, far less fat and white than Zheng Du.
In people's simple understanding, fat = good health!
