Chapter 9 Family emergencies
Dodging the fast-moving vehicles and hurried pedestrians on the street, Chen Long ran against the street in one breath with the money in his trouser pocket in his hand before stopping. He was so tired that he was panting as he held on to a large tree pole by the side of the street, and sweat began to run out. He looked back at the street he had just run on, and was relieved to make sure that Fang Qingfang and the others were not chasing after him.
After calming down a little, he began to regret it again. Thinking about it, he doesn't need to run away from others, after all, he is also a victim, and he can understand the other party's anger. Yes, it would be nice if he hadn't run away in a panic just now, and explained everything to her truthfully yesterday on the spot......
But he ran away as if he was a thief, isn't this tantamount to misunderstanding that he is a liar? Thinking of this, Chen Long raised his right hand and slapped his head a few times, and sighed after regret. Happily counting the money and being hit by others, doing the wrong thing at the wrong time and in the wrong place, this will definitely cause people to misunderstand......
But I feel comforted when I think about it, because I will go back to the countryside from today, and they are in the provincial capital, and it is impossible to meet them again in the future, so I don't need to pay attention to what people think!
"Whatever!" he muttered to himself.
Chen Long felt that he had finally figured it out, and his money was about to be returned, so his mood began to improve. Looking at the busy traffic and people passing by on the street, he smiled silly to himself.
He pulled out the money from his trouser pocket again to count it again. Suddenly, the small mobile phone that was placed in the depths of his pocket rang, so he took it out and saw that it was the eldest sister Chen Meihua calling, and he quickly connected it to listen.
"Woo woo woo ......" There was a cry from the eldest sister on the phone!
"Sister, what's the matter, what are you crying about? Is something happening at home again?"
Hearing the eldest sister's heart-rending cry, he was so anxious that he asked directly.
The eldest sister on the other side of the phone tried to control her emotions before she stopped crying and replied to Chen Long: "Dad was seriously injured in our village, his head was broken, and he lost a lot of blood, as if his hand was also broken." The people who beat him have run away......"
Hearing this sudden news, Chen Long's brain seemed to be blown up all of a sudden!
"Sister, don't panic, you can simply help him bandage and deal with it first, and then see who is in the village, and quickly call someone to help send him to the hospital. I'm going to take a car back from the provincial capital right now, and it's estimated that it will take a few hours......"
"Well, I'm helping him bandage it now, do you want to call the police?"
"Don't call the police yet, wait until I go back to see the situation, otherwise, I'm afraid that those bad guys will come back and retaliate against us! I'll call the second and fifth uncles now, and if they are here, I'll tell them to come over and help immediately." ”
Chen Long hung up the phone of the eldest sister and immediately called the phone number of the brothers in the village of the second uncle and the fifth uncle to contact him......
In the word "father", many people immediately think of greatness, responsibility, dependence, security...... But it was someone else's family, and Chen Long's father was the opposite:
Chen Dexiu did not give his family any good impression in his impression! Home is like a free inn for Chen Dexiu, he can come back when he wants, and leave when he wants. Giving birth to a few children is like a seed that he has inadvertently planted. He is domineering to his family by nature, lazy to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble...... He only pursues his own personal feelings and pleasures, and freedom and willfulness have always been his life principles...... It wasn't until he grew old and his children grew up to be able to control the family that he didn't dare to be too powerful to his family.
Over the years, as the eldest sister and he dropped out of school one after another and returned home, the eldest sister worked with him to help his mother support the family...... In addition to cultivating more than a dozen acres of land, he found a way to earn money to send his younger siblings to study and raise his two children......
The incident caused by Chen Dexiu's bad behavior is no longer a fuss, and his family has become numb to his own style. The bad things he caused in the past were basically outside, and he rarely let his family know about them, the key is that he can do it himself every time. But in recent years, he seems to have become more and more serious, and he has been hacked to his home many times by others to collect debts. But the eldest sister said on the phone just now that she was seriously injured, her head was broken, her hand was broken, and it is estimated that this time it is the most serious. However, in Long Chen's opinion, it is really a miracle that he can live to this day without being beaten to death!
A few years ago, his younger siblings were admitted to study in the provincial capital, and Chen Long originally planned to wait for the money to be returned, so he went to the secondary school where his sister was studying, and gave her some living expenses by the way. Then he went to the university where Chen Gang studied with his sister, and also gave him a few months of living expenses. I want to have a good visit to feel what the key universities in the provincial capital are like...... I think he was also very smart and excellent at school, but he hadn't graduated from junior high school yet, because his family was too poor, so he dropped out of school and came home to help...... He has always been very eager to study, and has always dreamed of being able to walk around the university campus in person, see what it is like, and fulfill his dream of reading...... Unexpectedly, an unfortunate incident suddenly happened at home, and his plan could not be realized.
Chen Long hurriedly rushed back to the cheap hotel where he stayed to check out, and hurried to the train station. But he couldn't buy a ticket for the fastest train, so he had to buy a station ticket and get on the train. On the way, they also contacted by phone from time to time, and dispatched neighbors in the village to help bandage Chen Dexiu and send him to the county hospital for treatment......
After taking the train for more than four hours, I finally returned to the county town of G, which I was familiar with. After getting off the train, Chen Long got on a small tricycle carrying passengers in the county and went straight to the county people's hospital.
I saw Chen Dexiu in the emergency ward of the hospital, and the eldest sister, second uncle, fifth uncle and kind-hearted neighbors sent by the gang were sitting in the ward to guard.
After the doctor's treatment, Chen Dexiu's injury has been controlled and stabilized. The head and both arms were bandaged with white medical gauze, and the bright red blood stains through the white gauze were still faint. His nose was covered with an oxygen mask to help him breathe, a silver-white needle was inserted into the large vein on the back of his palm, and two large glass bottles of yellow injection liquid were hung on the iron branch rack next to the bed, which flowed into his body drop by drop through the slender infusion hose......
Seeing Chen Long walk in, Chen Dexiu blinked his pitiful eyes and looked at him, his mouth moved a few times to say something, but he still didn't say it, so he had to turn his dull gaze to the other side, like a child who had done something wrong...... At this time, his heart was filled with incomparable remorse and guilt!
Chen Long saw through his state of mind at this time, and didn't want to ask anything, so he approached the bedside to comfort him and said: "Things have happened, don't think about anything now, just recuperate well, and everything else will wait until the injury is healed and discharged from the hospital." No matter how big the matter is, there will be a solution, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome!"
At this time, the attending doctor and nurse walked in and examined Chen Dexiu again, and Chen Long learned about some injuries through the doctor in a timely manner. It was learned that Chen Dexiu's head was severely injured, with a moderate concussion, multiple comminuted fractures in both hands, and internal injuries to his chest and abdomen......
In the end, Chen Long thanked the neighbors who were kind enough to help them and sent them out of the hospital and back to the village. Then comforted the eldest sister Chen Meihua, who was still frightened and sad, and went to the emergency department of the hospital to line up at the charging window to pay the relevant medical fees......
