After struggling for most of the night, he failed to achieve his goal and made this group of people miserable. Zhou Xingcai felt powerless.
But he also knew that if he continued to struggle, the situation would not get any better except for embarrassing himself.
He was exhausted and felt that it was too strenuous to walk back, so he simply went to find a bullock cart and invited two doctors who had refused to visit him last night to come with him.
Zhou Guishu's body was covered with injuries, but in the end they were not as serious as his leg injuries. The two doctors who arrived yesterday had already diagnosed and treated him and prescribed some medicine.
After all, Zhou Xingcai was worried about his son. After entering the house, he heard that except for the bones that had been connected and needed to be regrown, the other injuries were not serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The two new doctors were not idle either. After looking at it again, they left some medicine.
Every doctor left behind the medicine he prepared. There was a pile in the kitchen, and a lot of money was spent on medicine.
The Zhou family has had relatives from the Lu family over the years, and their son has always been filial. In addition, the old couple knows how to live a good life and never squanders money. They are richer than others in the village. But there have been too many things that have happened recently, and the savings have been reduced.
end.
After sending the doctor away, Zhou's mother felt distressed and clutched her chest for a long time, unable to speak.
Zhou Xingwang kept chasing after Zhou Xingcai to ask about the reaction of the Lu family. He was very disappointed when he learned that it was not as good as he expected. However, he did not believe his eldest brother's words and planned to go to town for a run after dinner, no matter what.
He personally told Lu Xiaoqing that he had beaten up his nephew, and begged her for forgiveness again.
Mrs. Yang didn't even dare to look at her mother-in-law's face.
During the meal, Mrs. Li did not come out. She has been taking care of herself recently... Logically speaking, a woman who has had a miscarriage needs to take some good supplements. But recently, the money bag at home seems to be leaking, and Zhou Guishu is suffering.
When he was injured, all the good things were given to him. Therefore, even if Mr. Li had a better rest, he could not even get a bite of the food to replenish his body.
Last night, doctors came one after another. Mrs. Li wanted the doctors to give her a diagnosis and treatment to see if her injured body had been healed. But her mother-in-law refused.
She was in the house at the time, and it was the third child who invited someone. After the couple was rejected, they never showed up.
When Zhou Laosan went to the kitchen to help serve the food, he saw the pile of medicines. When he came back, he was not happy. When Li asked, he learned that he had bought a lot of medicines for Zhou Guishu, and said: "Let's go home."
Right. My parents mentioned it a long time ago, but I was afraid you wouldn’t be happy, so I never said anything.”
When it was time to eat, Zhou Laosan put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Father, mother, I plan to take the child and his mother to live at Li's house."
The situation of the Li family is a little different. There is an elder brother above Li, and the brother and sister have a good relationship. But the year before last, her brother was caught in the winter rain after returning from working in the mountains. He slipped and fell into a ditch and was killed.
When he was rescued, his whole body was cold. Although he did not die from it, the disease started to take hold from then on. He became extremely weak and spent most of the year lying in bed, unable to work at all.
Zhou Laosan often went back to help, and the Zhou family was very dissatisfied. Mrs. Li saw this, so she usually worked honestly and hoped that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would not find fault with her and not prevent the couple from going home to help.
After hearing this, Zhou's mother immediately darkened her face: "Why, going back to help can no longer satisfy the Li family. Do you want to move over and work as a horse for them?"
Mrs. Li lowered her head: "We are dispensable at home. This time I have no child, and I can't even drink hot porridge. The eggs have never been seen... Those two chickens were brought by my mother when I gave birth to my mistress.
Mom, you have to have a certain tolerance for partiality. It’s true that Guishu is your eldest grandson, but I am also your daughter-in-law and gave you two grandsons. But, in your eyes, no matter how much your daughter-in-law has done,
Those are not members of the Zhou family. I don’t force you to treat me as your own daughter, but you can’t forget your roots as a human being. My parents raised me, and now that they need me, they don’t think I’m stupid. Plus, our husband and wife staying here will always hinder you.
In this case, we take the initiative to move away, and everyone is happy."
"After all, you are still complaining." Ms. Yang sneered: "The house is like this, and it's not like I don't want to give you food. How can you argue with a child for something?"
Mrs. Li had never argued with her sister-in-law before, but now she couldn't bear it anymore: "Did Zhou Guishu make any contribution to the family? I still wanted to give birth to a child for the Zhou family, so I became weak. He ate the chicken penis sent by my parents' family.
Why do you have the nerve to swallow your eggs? Don't make trouble with the child, he is no longer a child."
This was the first time that Ms. Yang faced her sister-in-law's cold face. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately complained: "Mother..."
Zhou's father had had enough of the noise at home: "If you make any more noise, get out of here."
Zhou Laosan immediately stood up and helped his wife up: "Dad, I will show you filial piety during every new year and festival. Just think of me as a married daughter!"
After saying this, he took the person and left.
Father Zhou was furious: "Stop."
The couple was unaware, as if they had not heard what was said.
The old couple were both very angry, and Zhou's mother even scolded: "If you dare to step out of this door, you will no longer be part of my Zhou family."
The two people in front walked faster.
Zhou’s mother: “…” This is going to make her angry to death.
There wasn't much of a fuss about the third child and his wife moving out. It was just that the Zhou family was too embarrassed to make any more noise and attract crowds of people to watch.
They were at fault for this matter. If they really made a fuss, the old couple would be stabbed in the back.
Therefore, Zhou and Laosan walked smoothly, carrying large and small bags in the village, and there were children beside them. People passing by saw them and casually asked them if they were going back to their parents' home.
Zhou Laosan did not save any face for his family: "I want to go live with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They are old and there is no one who can be used in the family. They will be plowing after the new year and I will be too busy. I
Go and help."
It is worth mentioning that just last month, Li's sister-in-law could no longer stand the endless workload at home, and was instigated by her natal family, so she took her eldest daughter back to her natal family to remarry.
In other words, apart from the old couple, the only remaining members of the Li family are the eldest brother, who is seriously ill in bed, and a two-year-old child, who indeed needs help.
The person who heard this was stunned for a moment: "Your mother also agrees?"
"I don't agree. However, she only sees the eldest brother and doesn't care about my son. It doesn't matter." Zhou Laosan took his wife and walked forward: "If you are not filial, you are not filial. I have a clear conscience."
Zhou has a large family and a lot of land. In the past, the third son and his wife had always done the most work in the family, and they were always busy even on rainy days. Now that there are two less people who need it, there is immediately more work at home.
In addition to taking care of her son, Mrs. Yang was very busy with her daughter all day long. Da Ya is twelve years old, so she is a big girl, but she is still as short and thin as a little girl under ten years old.
After Li's pregnancy, she had even more work. She was as busy as a spinning top from morning to night, and she didn't even have time to drink water. Yesterday, she had to work in the mountains with her mother, and she was on her way back this evening.
, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground.
Ms. Yang was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help the man, but she couldn't wake him up. She carried the man on her back and took him home.
Zhou's mother was making dinner. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but frown: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Yang put the person on the bed: "I don't know, I suddenly fainted while walking. The firewood I was carrying is still by the roadside."
Zhou's mother frowned even more: "Go get the firewood and I'll take a look at her."
The man was lying on the bed, with messy hair and an ugly expression on his sallow face. Mother Zhou stretched out her hand and touched her, and saw that he had no fever and could not wake up no matter what. After walking out of the door, she said, "Do you want a doctor to come and take a look?"
"
"Girl, it's just a movie, just lie down and you'll be fine. You must be tired." Zhou Xingcai said casually while washing his hands: "The expenses at home have been very high recently, so don't worry about it."
Mother Zhou hesitated: "But if this person doesn't wake up, he won't even be able to eat. Then..."
Will starve to death.
Zhou Xingcai paused and said, "Boil up the dregs of your medicine and give it to her."
Zhou's mother did not refuse and quickly went to the kitchen to work.
So, no one took care of the big girl in the house, and she woke up late at night. Listening to the howling wind outside, she felt cold to the bones, and she was very hungry. She was so hungry that she panicked and her stomach hurt. She
He tried hard to get up, but fell to the ground because of his weakness.
Then she fainted again.
After dawn, Ms. Yang got up and found that her daughter who was supposed to be working in the yard was missing. Then she remembered that her daughter had fainted yesterday. She ran to the house and saw her lying on the ground and her body was burning hot. She was shocked: "
Mother, come quickly."
Zhou's mother saw that her granddaughter's whole body was warm, and she obviously had a high fever. In early winter, such a fever was very abnormal.
High fever can be a big or small thing, but it can be fatal if it gets serious.
Mother Zhou hesitated for a moment: "Go dig some bitter seeds and boil them for her to drink."
Mrs. Yang moved her lips. With her daughter's body being permed like this, she should actually hire a doctor. But her son had already spent too much of the family's money, and the third son and his wife moved away. Ultimately, they were dissatisfied with this. She knew in her heart.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law also felt sorry for the money, and they might not be able to treat their son's injuries one day.
She couldn't speak after all, so she quickly got up and went outside, dug out some medicine and came back.
By mid-afternoon, Da Ya's body was no longer hot and her whole body was getting colder and colder. It was obvious that this person was going to die.
Mrs. Yang did feel sorry for her son, but she never thought about giving up her daughter. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Her crying attracted the rest of the Zhou family, and everyone felt very uncomfortable when they saw this situation. Zhou Xingcai suddenly said: "Move her out!"
Zhou Xingwang had an idea in his mind and took a step forward: "I'll do it."
Everyone looked at them in surprise, and he said plausibly: "You all said that I only eat at home and don't work. Now that I take the initiative to do it, and you are not willing, then I won't go."
Zhou Xingcai answered hurriedly: "I'm not unwilling, I'm just surprised that you took the initiative to do the work. Then I'll trouble you."
The child on the ground was very thin. Zhou Xingwang went up to hug it and felt light and airy. He sighed in his heart. To be honest, this child was really suffering compared to Jiaojiao. However, this was not his daughter.
Don't worry about him.
"I will send the person to the town and throw it at the door of the rich people's houses. If someone has a kind heart, maybe she can be saved." Zhou Xingwang looked at the rest of the people: "What do you think of this idea?"
Zhou's mother immediately agreed: "It's good. Whether she can survive or not depends entirely on her luck. If no one is willing to save her, it's her life too. She shouldn't have any complaints."
Yang's eyes were red and she wanted to speak, but when she thought of her son lying next door who needed medical treatment, the words came to her lips and she couldn't get out of her mouth.
In the evening, Chu Yunli closed the door of the shop and returned to Lu's house. Just now, Jiaojiao had come back to cook. She greeted people all the way. When she arrived in front of her house, she saw a dark figure from a distance away.
silhouette.
The sky was hazy, and the figure was huddled there, a very small group. If she hadn't had good eyesight, she might not have been able to notice it.
Chu Yunli reached out and patted the person, and when she noticed that the person under her was cold, she immediately frowned, reached out to touch the person's forehead, and hurriedly bent down to pick him up.
After carrying him into the house, with the candlelight, he could clearly see that he was an acquaintance.
Da Ya rarely comes to town, and Father Lu cannot stare at someone else's daughter. He doesn't know her at all. When he saw his daughter bringing someone back, he curiously asked: "Where did you pick this girl up? How are you dressed?"
So broken?"
Chu Yunli sighed: "This is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family."
Father Lu was even more surprised: "She rarely comes to town, how could she find you?"
"She is sick and she is lying outside at the door. I don't know if she came here on her own or was sent here." Chu Yunli quietly took her pulse and saw that she had caught a cold after being tired, and the illness was
After delaying for a long time, she had to use good medicinal materials to save him. She turned her head and told Jiaojiao: "Go and find Doctor Wu."
Jiaojiao looked at the little girl on the bed worriedly. If I remember correctly, Da Ya was only one year younger than her, but at this moment, the two of them looked like adults and children. Also, Da Ya's clothes were too
It's so broken that it's almost catching up with the beggars on the street.
She didn't say a word, and quickly ran over. At this time, Doctor Wu had already closed the door and went home, and it took a lot of effort to find him.
After taking his pulse, Dr. Wu said with caution on his face: "If you delay it for too long, you may not be able to save her. I can only try my best."
Just try your best. As long as the medicine is left, Chu Yunli can revive the person.
It's not that she pities the Zhou family, it's just that the child is living a very hard life, so since he meets him, she just helps him out.
Da Ya thought she was going to die. Her whole body was hot and cold. She could feel that she was being moved outside, as if her family had thrown her out.
But then she felt her whole body warm up, the mattress she slept on was soft, and she smelled of medicine. The medicine was not very good to drink, and it tasted bitter in her mouth. After drinking it, her cold body gradually warmed up.
It seems that she has never been so warm since she was a child.
Her head felt dizzy, and her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. When she finally opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a strange room, and she instantly became nervous.
Did her family sell her?
This idea was immediately rejected by her as soon as it appeared. With her appearance and the fact that she was so ill before, it was definitely impossible for anyone to buy her.
Suddenly, I remembered that I heard Nai saying that if someone could save her, she would be lucky... From this point of view, she must have been saved.
As soon as I thought of this, the door was pushed open, and then a familiar person walked in.
Da Ya rarely came to the town since she was a child. Even if it was her second uncle's house, she only came once. And she didn't dare to move around. She didn't dare to enter the house at all. She was only in the yard from beginning to end. But
She still knows this cousin... She is also from a girl's family. She is not valued by her family and has had endless work to do since she was a child. However, her cousin is different. She was born to be particularly favored. Even the grandparents who don't like the girl see her.
This cousin will also be polite.
"elder sister?"
She was a little unsure and really felt like she was in a dream.
Jiaojiao heard her weak voice, saw her about to get up, and hurriedly took two steps forward: "Don't move, be sure to lie down. The medicine is not cold yet, get up and drink it after a while."
"Medicine?" Da Ya was in a daze for a moment. Is she worthy of taking such a precious thing?
Jiaojiao saw his confused look and took the initiative to explain: "Yesterday, when mother came back, she saw you lying outside, brought you in, and called a doctor. How did you get outside my house?"
Daya shook her head: "I was sick, and they didn't want to save me. They said they would put me on the street and let me die."
Jiaojiao's face was full of surprise: "I'm just sick." After two doses of medicine, the man was mostly recovered, at least he was not in danger of his life.
As for what?
Da Ya lowered her head.
Jiaojiao saw her embarrassment: "They didn't throw you away randomly, but sent you outside my house. They must have known that we would save you. By the way, who sent you here?"
Da Ya was in a daze at the time, and what she heard seemed like she was dreaming. She didn't know if it was true or not, let alone checking who carried her out.
"Go to sleep. The doctor said you are too tired. Once you get enough rest, your illness will be mostly cured." Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought for a while: "You will definitely not be able to rest well after you go home. You will be here first."
After you recover from your illness, I will ask my mother to take you back home."
Hearing that he was going back, Daya shivered with fear.
But she really couldn't say no. The second aunt had saved her and had been very kind to her. How could she still stay here shamelessly? Jiaojiao was the biological daughter of the second aunt. She couldn't be too pampered. With her
What's left in the Lu family?
Da Ya didn't want to leave, but she couldn't say no, so she simply covered her head with the quilt to escape.
As soon as I covered it, I heard a chuckle, and then my eyes lit up, and my cousin's smiling eyebrows appeared in front of me: "Be careful to suffocate yourself. Get up and drink medicine quickly. There is still some chicken soup made yesterday. I will go there later."
Let me warm it up for you, mother said, you are too weak and can only drink half a bowl."
"Chicken soup?" Da Ya looked surprised. She had never had it since she was a child.
Jiaojiao vaguely knew that her cousin was having a hard time, but she didn't know how miserable she was. She didn't bother her for too long, drank the medicine and soup, and quickly went to the shop in front of her.
At this moment, the shop was not quiet. Zhou Xingwang was lying in front of the counter and refused to leave: "I was the one who beat up that bastard Guishu. If they hadn't found out too early, I would have beaten him to death. Xiaoqing, don't be angry."
I was angry. In fact, I was also angry with him. At that time, I was thinking that I could share some things from the Zhou family. In the end, it still belonged to both of us, so I forgave him on impulse. If I had known that you would be angry, I would never have done it.
Such a stupid thing."
"I have always been very clear that we are husband and wife, and we are the closest family members, and the others are outsiders." Zhou Xingwang emphasized: "I forgive him not because he is my nephew, but because
I want to get benefits. And I want to get benefits because I want you, mother and daughter, to live a good life..."
Chu Yunli was dealing with the guests just now, and just ignored these words. She didn't look at him until she sent the guests away.
"Zhou Xingwang, you are so shameless."
Zhou Xingwang smiled bitterly: "You can say whatever you want to me. I just hope you won't be angry again and let me go home."
"Isn't your family in Peach Blossom Village?" Chu Yunli's face was full of ridicule: "I have already mentioned to the Zhou family that we would separate our families. When the two of us proposed to get married, I already made it clear that you are from the Lu family.
Your son-in-law has nothing to do with the Zhou family from the day we married. I have treated your family well over the years to keep you well behaved, but this is not the reason why you want to go back and separate the family. You want to be the Zhou family
Son, I have fulfilled your wish, but you are not willing to give in. All the benefits are yours."
Thinking of something, Chu Yunli looked at him with suspicion: "Someone left the seriously ill Da Ya at the door of my house last night, was it you?"
Zhou Xingwang looked surprised: "No! Isn't Daya at home?" At this point, he shook his head: "I don't even see that girl at home. I went out in the evening yesterday and didn't even know
What happened at home? Why did Daya come? Also, she is not young anymore, so why was someone leaving her at your door? Doesn’t she know how to go home? "
Chu Yunli saw that his surprise was fake, and sneered: "Zhou Xingwang, you are still lying to me now. Someone obviously saw you bringing her here."
Zhou Xingwang had been very careful when sending people over, but with people coming and going on the street, it was inevitable that someone would see him. He hesitated for a moment and stopped making excuses: "I can explain it."
Chu Yunli said this to deceive him. Hearing this, he laughed angrily: "It's really you who wrote the story. By the way, that girl was so sick that she only had one breath left, but you sent her to my door, thinking that I was taking advantage of you.
?”
"If you don't save her, there will be no way for her to survive." Zhou Xingwang smiled bitterly and said about his family: "They don't treat the girl as a human being. Da Ya obviously just caught the cold, but she refused to call a doctor. She had been fed before
It’s the medicine Guishu drank, which is really outrageous. I know you are kind..."
Chu Yunli haha, Lu Xiaoqing is indeed kind, but his kindness should be exploited by him?
