Chu Yunli felt sleepy, and she woke up the moment someone knocked on the door.
When she heard the sound of the door opening and no one talking outside, she vaguely sensed something was wrong, and her ears were already raised. Before Daya spoke loudly, she had already heard that the person outside was Zhou's mother.
Da Ya is taciturn, usually she won't speak if she can, and she speaks very softly. She was obviously angry when she was forced to do this. Chu Yunli immediately put on her clothes and got up, and when she met Zhou's mother's scornful eyes at the door of the yard, she asked
: "What's wrong so early?"
Zhou's mother waved her hand: "Nothing, I just came to see Da Ya. Her mother, who is not clear-minded, ran to the town and lost people. I don't know about this. If I knew, I would definitely stop it!"
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "You love Zhou Guishu the most, but you haven't thought about helping him heal his legs?"
"I have cured him, but as for him becoming a cripple... that is his fate. Who gave him the courage to do bad things?" Zhou's mother said against her will: "Da Ya, thanks to you this time, I owe you this kindness.
Remember in my heart that I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future!"
Chu Yunli sneered twice, obviously not believing it: "You don't need to repay me. From now on, just take care of Zhou Xingwang and don't let him come to me again to irritate my eyes. Also, Da Ya spent so much money on me,
You must work to pay off the debt, unless you help her pay it back."
"We really can't afford it." Zhou's mother looked embarrassed: "You are not an outsider when it comes to talking about it. You also know what is going on at home. If you really ask us to repay the debt, it will force us to die. Xiaoqing, it is really hard to live with resentment.
It’s too difficult, let’s not talk about the past, okay?”
"What do you think?" Chu Yunli's face was full of sarcasm: "If these things happen to you, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get over."
Mother Zhou said plausibly: "Guishu is indeed wrong, but he was instigated by others, and the culprit has been punished. He even broke a leg himself, and was later seriously injured by Xingwang. What else do you want?"
"
"No, I just don't want to associate with such a beast anymore." Chu Yunli emphasized: "You'd better take care of him and keep him from showing up in front of me. Otherwise, I will beat him every time I see him."
She turned around and thought of something: "By the way, later you remind Zhou Xingwang that it's too wasteful to hit someone with a can. I picked up some rocks and put them on the counter. If he dares to show up, the next time the rocks fly towards him
Already."
Mother Zhou was speechless.
Even now, she still wants the couple to reconcile. But looking at Lu Xiaoqing's attitude, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
"Xiaoqing, it's better for the husband and wife to be the original couple, don't..."
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "Do you also want to taste my accuracy?"
Mother Zhou immediately thought of the big bumps on her son's head and quickly backed away.
Da Ya was so frightened that she slipped forward and slammed the door.
Mother Zhou: "..."
This damn girl is getting more and more courageous.
After Da Ya closed the door, she realized what she had done. Her face was filled with fear. When she turned around, she was greeted by Aunt Qing's admiration.
Chu Yunli praised: "You have to do this to people you don't like. Between the injustice you feel and the injustice of others, you can't let yourself feel uncomfortable, right?"
Daya was a little confused, but she accepted death. Aunt Qing, who saved her life, said everything she said was right. She nodded quickly.
She picked up the broom again, and after missing it twice, she remembered what her grandma had told her: "Aunt Qing, they asked me to steal your money."
Chu Yunli looked surprised: "You are quite courageous."
She opened the door and chased out quickly. After turning two corners, she caught up with Zhou's mother: "Stop."
Zhou's mother didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would catch up. Thinking of Daya, she suddenly felt guilty: "Is something wrong?"
Chu Yunli stepped forward: "You want to steal my things?"
Of course Mother Zhou refused, pretending to be confused: "Where do you start talking about this?"
"Whether you admit it or not, we are here to tell you the ugly story. If you dare to steal my money to treat Zhou Guishu's leg." Chu Yunli sneered: "Even if he is cured, I will inject him again."
If you don’t believe me, just try it.”
These words were too overbearing, and Zhou's mother looked particularly ugly: "I do want to treat his leg, but it's none of your business, and I never thought about taking your money."
After saying that, he almost ran away.
Zhou Xingwang was fed up with the poverty in his family. When he saw the New Year approaching, everyone was already preparing New Year's goods, but there was nothing at home. Food was becoming increasingly scarce. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran to the town to find work.
The weather is short in winter, and many people are not willing to build houses at this time. Zhou Xingwang traveled all day and only found a job moving goods. It was hard and tiring. In addition to providing food and accommodation, he only had four people a day.
copper plate.
This is almost like sending a beggar away.
Zhou Xingwang turned around and left. After working for a long time, he didn't catch anything. He was very unwilling and thought that he had already come, so he might as well go to the Lu family's shop to try to save him, or he would suffer a lot again.
Or stand farther away and run away before something hits you.
Chu Yunli had only warned Zhou's mother in the morning, but saw Zhou Xingwang in the afternoon. She was immediately amused. When the person came over, without saying a word, the stone in his hand flew out.
When Zhou Xingwang saw her raising her hand, he subconsciously wanted to hide. The next moment, he felt a pain in his forehead and his vision went dark. The pain was much more severe than before. He vaguely saw a stone falling on the ground, with bright red blood on it. His brain
There was a buzzing sound, and I felt that my whole body was extremely soft. In the next moment, my whole body fell to the ground.
There was a bang, and many people looked over.
In fact, as soon as he appeared, everyone would subconsciously look this way. Seeing the person knocked unconscious, everyone was a little frightened.
Chu Yunli explained: "When his mother came in the morning, I had already reminded him that I had a lot of stones on hand. He still dared to come, probably because he wanted to give it a try."
No one came forward to help.
Zhou Xingwang just lay on the ground until dark.
Some people from Taohua Village saw it and told the Zhou family after returning home.
When Zhou's father heard about this, he frowned: "Lu Xiaoqing was so cruel." As he spoke, he stood up and said, "He is still lying there?"
"He's lying down." The person who reported the news said with emotion: "Before, I thought that a good girl was afraid of stalking a man, and since the two of them have children together, Xiaoqing would forgive her sooner or later. Now it seems that I'm afraid it's a bit uncertain."
People were lying on the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Lu Xiaoqing never softened his heart from the beginning to the end, let alone stepped forward to save people. How could this be the way to continue living?
It was clear that as she said, she regarded Zhou Xingwang as her enemy.
Mother Zhou slapped her forehead, quickly went into the house to change clothes, and said, "Xiaoqing told me about the stone this morning, but I forgot about it when I came back."
Zhou's father was already preparing to go out, thinking that it would be faster to find a bullock cart. After hearing this, he turned around and asked, "When did you go to town again?"
Zhou's mother: "..." She only told her daughter-in-law about stealing money from the Lu family, but did not tell the man. Firstly, she did not find a chance, and secondly, she was afraid that the man would not agree.
"I went to see Da Ya in the morning. After all, she is our granddaughter. She has been raising her for so many years. She can't be coaxed away. As soon as she said a few words, Xiao Qing discovered her. She said something unpleasant.
If you heard that, you would definitely be unhappy, so I didn’t mention it!”
When his son was injured and fell to the ground, no one paid attention to him. Father Zhou didn't ask any questions.
The couple found a bullock cart and drove slowly and quickly. When they arrived, it was already dark for ten days. There were almost no pedestrians on the street. Zhou Xingwang was still lying there, the blood on his forehead had dried up, and he was completely unconscious.
It was one thing to hear someone say it, but when she actually saw it, Zhou's mother was still furious: "These people are like snakes, so cold-blooded."
While complaining, he and the men moved the people onto the bullock cart. It was not a secret that Zhou Xingwang fainted here. There were still people in several medical hospitals.
When the doctor saw the person, he didn't ask any questions and quickly stepped forward to bandage it.
"Do you want to get some medicine?"
Hearing this, Mother Zhou's heart trembled. Recently, the family had emptied all their savings for this medicine, and even borrowed some foreign debt. She didn't know where to get the money needed for the New Year, so she immediately asked tentatively: "
Is it okay if I don’t take the medicine?”
"Then it will heal a little slower." The doctor thought for a moment and said, "The injury on this head is the most complicated. You may forget some things when you wake up, or you may become a fool. You must be mentally prepared."
It's so serious, how can I not take medicine?
Father Zhou immediately made the decision: "Prepare the medicine first."
Zhou's mother stepped forward and tugged on his sleeve: "Our family doesn't have money to pay the bill." Even if he owes money on credit, he will have to pay it back in the future.
The current situation at home means that there is no money left to pay off the debt.
These words made Father Zhou glare at him. When the medicine package was ready, he said to the doctor: "We don't live in the town. After hearing what happened here, we rushed over immediately, without even having time to put on our clothes."
To change, I didn’t even bring any money. I have to pay for it first.”
The doctor had gone to the village to bandage Zhou Guishu before. He had already expected it and waved his hand: "Anyway, your family lives there, just bring it back later."
A monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple.
Zhou's father pondered for a moment: "Doctor, it's like this. My son got married into a wife in his early years. In my eyes, he is just like a married girl. How can you say that there is no married person who is sick?"
What is the principle behind family governance?"
Hearing this, the doctor suddenly had a bad premonition, moved his hands, and asked warily: "You don't want to default on the bill, do you?" He looked at the packaged medicine: "This medicine is all prepared, but I don't have it yet.
It’s back.”
"That's not what I meant." Father Zhou held the medicine tighter: "You still have to drink this medicine, but we shouldn't be the ones paying the bill."
The doctor finally understood what he meant: "Lu Xiaoqing is having a lot of trouble with him, so he definitely doesn't want to help him pay the bill. I will never come to collect debts. The patients you send must pay for the medicine."
.”
"That's it." Zhou's father came closer: "Lu Xiaoqing has separated from him, and I didn't think about letting her pay, but my son has a daughter. The child is already old and sensible.
.Before the couple had a falling out, my son had always helped to raise the child. Now that the younger one has been raised, the younger one has to be taken care of in old age. Now that my son is sick, I can ask Jiaojiao for the money for the medicine! Doctor, you can
Ask for more. Anyway, Jiaojiao doesn’t know how many medicines I took, so I’ll just treat it as compensation for your hard work asking for the medicine.”
The doctor's brows were twitching and he was about to refuse. The couple had already carried the person and ran away.
He was so angry that he kicked the table. If he had known that staying would lead to this, he would have said nothing to save this man.
Don't ask, this medicine is given away for free, he bought it with his own money. As a doctor, he can save lives and heal the wounded. When he encounters people who are really in trouble, it's okay to give some medicine. But the Zhou family is unscrupulous and gives medicine to such people.
, no matter how much I think about it, I am not reconciled to it.
Go and ask... Lu Xiaoqing's bad temper is not easy to deal with.
The doctor thought about it, but was still unwilling to accept it, and thought of asking Jiaojiao privately for the money.
When Lu Jiaojiao heard about this, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Logically speaking, she should pay for her father's medicine, but her father insisted on defending those who bullied her, and she did not want to honor such a father.
"Doctor, I just went out and spent all my money. If you are not busy, please come with me!"
The doctor was already prepared to be rejected. Hearing this, he immediately felt relieved. This girl is quite reasonable. At least it cost dozens of dollars. He even waited for half an hour longer that day, but he couldn't
White dry.
So, Chu Yunli waited for her daughter and the doctor in the shop.
After hearing the two people explain the cause and effect, Chu Yunli suddenly laughed angrily: "I injured someone and you still want me to treat him?"
The doctor swallowed: "That's what they said. I'm a doctor, but I also run a small business. You should know the difficulties of a businessman. If I can't get back the money for the medicine, I will lose money."
"If I don't treat him, he has nothing to do with me!" Chu Yunli then emphasized: "It's true that he raised Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao should indeed respect his father. But she is still a half-grown child now.
You have to rely on me for food and drink, and you really have no time to honor your father. You still have to ask the Zhou family for the money."
The doctor felt like he was being kicked around like a ball, but he didn't dare to lose his temper at Lu Xiaoqing, and mentally scolded the Zhou family and his wife. He really didn't want to take this trip, it was embarrassing
Authentic: "The Zhou family lives in Taohua Village. It's inconvenient for me to go there. Anyway, there aren't many. For you, it's just a matter of raising your hand..."
Chu Yunli chuckled: "What's so difficult about this? I'll just send you there. I just have to tell them a few words not to make such accounts for me outside!"
She asked Jiaojiao to guard the shop, went to find an oxcart, and took the doctor with her to Peach Blossom Village.
On the way there, the doctor looked at the eagerness on the face of the woman opposite him, and suddenly felt a little regretful. Lu Xiaoqing would definitely make a big fuss when he went to Zhou's house. Is it really okay for him to follow her?
But we are already halfway there, and there is no chance to look back.
Taohua Village was as peaceful as ever. As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we heard the barking of dogs one after another. When the people standing saw Chu Yunli coming, a few people came forward to say hello.
Lu Xiaoqing was a businessman, and he usually greeted people with a smile. He was especially fond of chatting with women. It was the same after Chu Yunli arrived. When someone asked her why she was here, she immediately told her.
"Zhou Xingwang himself was injured, but he was waiting for his daughter to pay for the medicine. How old is Jiaojiao? Fortunately he could figure it out." Chu Yunli said plausibly: "I originally explained this matter to him clearly, no matter how much I want to count on it,
If you want to take care of your children in old age, you have to wait until they grow up."
Someone had already gone to Zhou's house to report the news. As soon as Zhou's mother learned that the people were coming, the ox cart might have arrived in front of her house. Along with the ox cart came those who were chatting at the entrance of the village.
Chu Yunli jumped off the bullock cart, straightened her skirt, and walked slowly into Zhou's house.
Seeing her smiling face, Zhou's mother felt her scalp numb and resisted in her heart. She subconsciously said: "You are no longer a member of my Zhou family, so don't come into my Zhou family's door."
Chu Yunli disagreed and continued walking inside: "If I didn't have something to say, I wouldn't have come. Don't worry, I won't pester you and I'll leave as soon as I'm done."
Mother Zhou still wanted to speak, but Chu Yunli looked back at the people watching outside, and asked with a half-smile, "Do you really want me to make it clear to you at the door?"
Let Lu Jiaojiao pay the bill. It seems that the Zhou family is not particular about it, and the fewer people know about it, the better. Mother Zhou immediately changed her mind: "Come in and tell me if you have anything to say! Xingwang was seriously injured. He just woke up.
It's called dizziness. The doctor said, no matter how big a grudge you have, don't hit your head, as it can easily lead to death."
This is actually what she wanted to say.
Chu Yunli said plausibly: "I warned you, but you didn't stop me. You deserve to be beaten."
Mother Zhou's chest heaved with anger: "Xiaoqing, just for Jiaojiao's sake, you shouldn't be so cruel. In the end, Xingwang didn't do anything wrong. You are too angry."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Chu Yunli asked with a sneer: "Who are you to me? Why? I'm not afraid to tell you, I can't stand you, this damn old woman!"
Mother Zhou was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe: "Lu Xiaoqing, even if you are no longer my daughter-in-law, Jiaojiao is still here, I am your elder after all."
"I hope Jiaojiao doesn't have an elder like you." Chu Yunli glanced at the room where Zhou Xingwang was: "How is the injury?"
Mother Zhou snorted coldly: "You don't really come to visit, so why are you asking?"
Chu Yunli patted his forehead and suddenly realized: "Yes, I came here on business. The doctor came to ask me for a debt. It makes no sense at all. It is best for your family to pay the debt yourself. I just happened to come here to give some instructions.
That's why I brought the doctor here specially. It's not that you really can't get it, so don't hold back. It's better to be more relaxed."
Mother Zhou: "..."
"I really can't take it out."
The doctor was fed up with this family. If he had known better, he would never have gone into this muddy water: "It's not much, just a few dozen yuan. You can ask the neighbors to get it together. I waited there specially to save you that day."
Son, if you don’t say kindness, you can’t let me suffer in any way!”
Speaking of which, it seems that the Zhou family is not worthy of being a human being if they don't take money.
Zhou's father couldn't afford to lose this person, so he immediately went to a cousin of his family and borrowed dozens of dollars.
The Zhou family has spent a lot of money recently, but they had saved a lot of money before and did not owe much foreign debt. It is relatively easy to borrow a few dozen yuan. When the doctor got it, he was almost moved to tears. He did not join in the fun and was very excited.
We quickly retreated outside and sat on the bullock cart waiting to go back together.
To be honest, if Taohua Village wasn't a bit far away from the town, he would rather walk.
Zhou Xingwang woke up amidst the commotion and felt a special pain in his forehead. Suddenly he remembered that he had been hit on the head. That crazy woman Lu Xiaoqing had really hit him hard.
He struggled to get up, but felt dizzy: "Lu Xiaoqing, come in."
When Chu Yunli heard the shout, she suddenly became interested again and ran to the door quickly: "Are you okay?"
Zhou Xingwang was angry, his head was dizzy again, and he said angrily: "Which eye can you see me with? Lu Xiaoqing, you are killing someone. If anything happens to me, you will pay with your life."
"Who are you scaring? Are you not dead yet?" Chu Yunli said plausibly: "Besides, I reminded your mother that if you come over again, I will greet you with a stone. Since you are not afraid, don't regret it now."
Zhou Xingwang: "..."
But his mother didn't tell him about it.
He leaned on the bed and looked at the woman in the halo of light at the door. He felt very strange. The couple had not been very close to each other over the years, and they could be regarded as respectful to each other. He could not even remember why the two of them ended up in this situation.
.
"Xiaoqing, what do you want to do to make peace with me?"
Chu Yunli shook his head: "I can't go back."
Zhou Xingwang looked next door: "If the person who bullied our daughter dies, can you forgive me?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunli looked surprised: "You want to kill someone?" Then he emphasized: "I didn't ask you to kill someone, no matter what, it has happened. It is a fact that you have to forgive the person who bullied our daughter, no matter what you do.
, it can no longer make up for the damage Jiaojiao suffered."
Zhou Xingwang felt powerless.
Because he could see that what the woman in front of him said was sincere, and no matter what he did, he could no longer make her soften.
"Xiaoqing, I'm sorry for you mother and daughter." Zhou Xingwang endured his headache: "But I really want to reconcile with you."
Chu Yunli sneered: "I don't believe what you say. Zhou Xingwang, I just want to ask you, do you want to make peace with me? Or do you want to make peace with my Lu family shop?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingwang's heart trembled, and he felt as if he had been stripped naked in broad daylight, without any secret left.
"you……"
Chu Yunli raised his hand: "Zhou Xingwang, please think about it before you answer!"
"There is no conflict!" Zhou Xingwang said plausibly: "When you agreed to let me marry you, I was already a member of the Lu family, and I already had a share in the Lu family's shop. I have been diligent these years, and I have never been idle.
It's just impulsively forgiving someone you don't like... Xiaoqing, you have to be reasonable."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "You also know that you are married into a married woman, so do you need a reason to divorce your husband? I just can't stand you and don't want to live under the same roof with you, so I have to kick you out to feel comfortable. That's enough
