Chapter Twenty-Eight: Door-to-door trouble
The old lady looked much better at Yaya's face, and a stone in her heart fell to the ground. By the time Carpenter Tang returned, the little girl was already drinking sugar water from her grandmother. Seeing this scene, Carpenter Tang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly invited Dr. Song over. Doctor Song wondered, the little girl was still burning hot just now, so the fever will go away after a while? After the examination, Dr. Song confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the little girl, just take care of it. In this way, Tang Carpenter did not have to borrow money, his heart was relieved, and the wrinkles on his face were relaxed.
Lin Xi saw that everyone's thoughts were on Yaya, so he quit, thinking that this time the little girl could have a good rest. That's not the end of the story.
Early the next morning, Jin Cui's family went to Tang Carpenter's house to make trouble, and Jin Cui stood at the door and scolded, scolding whatever was ugly. Carpenter Tang was so angry that his old face turned red, and he stood at the door with Grandma Tang to fight against Jin Cui. In the scolding, everyone also understood the reason for the incident. Before the three children were playing on the ice together, Bao'er was naughty and wanted to pull Yaya's pigtails. Yaya is timid and wants to avoid Bao'er, chasing one and fleeing the other. In a panic, the girl stepped on a piece of thin ice and fell down at once, but fortunately, the little girl was a little lucky and grabbed the edge of the ice. Bao'er didn't have time to avoid it and fell into the icy water. When Yaya's brother came to the rescue, he naturally saved his sister first. At this time, some people also noticed that the child fell into the water, and someone went into the water to fish Bao'er up. Bao'er has been in the water for a long time, and now although she has woken up, follow-up treatment still costs money, and she is still living in the hospital. Jin Cui's family naturally couldn't give up, and found Tang Carpenter to ask to bear Bao'er's medical expenses. Tang Carpenter's family is not happy, his granddaughter will fall into the water when she is chased by your children, I don't come to you to settle the account, it's polite, and I want medical expenses, dream!
Hearing the news, the three sons of the Tang family all came, all of them were young and strong, with their hands on their waists, standing at the door, like three door gods. Chu Ergen looked a little worried, and turned his head to beg Tang Jianguo, Tang Jianguo looked at this family, and only felt that his brain hurt. But he had to take care of this matter, there was no way, Tang Jianguo took a group of people into the house, and the other villagers who were watching the excitement couldn't squeeze in, and they dispersed one after another, only a few gossipy people were scattered outside the courtyard, listening to the movement with their ears pricked up.
There was a faint noise in the courtyard, and after nearly an hour, the courtyard door opened, and the Chu family walked out with a gloomy face, followed by Tang Jianguo, who frowned. Those who were waiting to see the excitement dispersed as if nothing happened, and as soon as the village party secretary left, they went to Tang Carpenter's house to inquire about the news.
Jin Cui returned to the house and howled: "My hard-working son, what can I do, the hospital is still waiting to pay, it's really unreasonable, it's obviously the fault of the dead Nizi, poor my Bao'er suffered." The branch secretary is eccentric, and it is obvious that he is protecting the Tang family, what can I do?
Third Uncle Chu was so noisy that he had a headache and glared at his son. Ergen kicked his daughter-in-law lightly, Jin Cui was about to howl, and Ergen slapped him up and slapped Jin Cui on the shoulder. Jin Cui stopped howling and stared blankly at her man with swollen eyes. Ergen lowered his voice and said, "Take care of your mouth, don't talk nonsense." Jin Cui was not happy, and said with a little sobbing: "Did I say it wrong? The two children fell into the water together, but the branch secretary said that it was my Bao'er's fault, obviously the girl stepped on the ice, otherwise my Bao'er would have fallen into the water, and now she has given three yuan, what can it do? The medical expenses have been spent more than ten yuan in the past few days." ”
Third Uncle Chu frowned tightly, sighed deeply and said: "I don't know what I bumped into, it's really unlucky, first the farm tools broke inexplicably, and I lost money, and now it's Bao'er who has an accident, and it costs a lot of money." Recently, you have all been on snack, pay attention to yourself, there is not much money to lose at home. "Third Uncle Chu is a little superstitious, and if the family is not going well, he will think crankily, just because of the special age now, he doesn't dare to say it in his face, but he is taboo in his heart. After saying this, he looked at his eldest son, and Chu Dagen glanced at his father and lowered his head.
Although Third Uncle Chu didn't say it, Chu Dagen knew that what Dad meant was that Chu Sheng's mother died last time, and Chu Sheng did not send a funeral, which became a pimple in Uncle Chu's heart, and he always felt that it would bring disaster to the family, and now it has come true. Chu Dagen looked at the deep wrinkles on his father's face, gritted his teeth, and turned around and went out.
Lin Xi was making snacks with Chu Sheng in the kitchen, and the last time the villagers came to visit her, someone gave her some buckwheat flour, and Lin Xi wanted to make some buckwheat steamed dumplings. Chu Shengle came to help, and Lin Xi sent him to wash the beans. When Chu Sheng came back with the washed beans, Lin Xi asked him to chop the beans, Chu Sheng was standing aside and was about to chop vegetables, when the door of the small courtyard was knocked on the door. Chu Sheng frowned and was about to open the door, but Lin Xi was a little more vigilant, pulled Chu Sheng's sleeve and said, "Ask who opened the door before asking, ordinary people won't knock on the door like this." Chu Sheng nodded, walked to the courtyard door and asked, "Who?" "It's me, hurry up and open the door." The familiar voice hooked out the anger in Chu Sheng's heart, and Chu Sheng said coldly: "What are you doing here? Get out!"
When Lin Xi heard Chu Sheng's words, he was shocked, wiped his hands, and walked out. I only heard the man outside the door say, "Open the door, hurry up, or I'll smash your door." Chu Sheng's fire rushed straight to the top of his head, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he opened the door, and Lin Xi wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
As soon as the door opened, Chu Dagen rushed in, he stood in front of Chu Sheng, and reprimanded: "I'll tell you, it's all you, the mourning star, who will harm my family." Now your brother is in the hospital and needs money to save his life, so you hurry up and get some money out. ”
When Lin Xi heard this, she was really surprised by Chu Dagen's brain circuit, she opened her mouth and asked: "Chu Sheng is not the Chu family for a long time, we have nothing to do with your family's affairs, besides, Bao'er's falling into the water has nothing to do with us, why should we pay?" Chu Dagen glared at Lin Xi hatefully, and said angrily: "It's not because you didn't let Chu Sheng go to his mother's funeral, and our family was unlucky, and it has been not peaceful for a while, if you take some money out, I won't care about this matter." ”
Lin Xi's education all the time has made it difficult for her to understand Chu Dagen's thoughts, and he can say and dare to say such things as bad luck! Lin Xi shot back: "Uncle, now you have to get rid of superstition, what you said is not appropriate, do you want us to go to the Tang branch secretary to talk about it? Or do you want to go to the Revolutionary Committee to talk." Chu Dagen was anxious, the only heir of the Chu family was waiting for money to save his life in the hospital, and the little girl still had to take Qiao; a half-sized son was given to her, as long as ten yuan, it was obviously Lin Xi who picked it up, and now he had to find his stubble, and all kinds of unwillingness came to his heart. Chu Dagen's heart couldn't be suppressed, he looked into the courtyard, trying to find something to take advantage of. Chu Sheng understood his intention and kicked Chu Dagen in the stomach fiercely. Chu Dagen was caught off guard, his body shook for a moment, and then he saw a knife dangling in front of his eyes.
Chu Sheng had just chopped vegetables again, and the knife in his hand was not put down, and this time it became the best weapon. Chu Sheng brandished a kitchen knife, his eyes were full of fierceness: "Get out! If you bother my sister again, I will cut you." Chu Dagen was stunned by Chu Sheng's murderous eyes, and then stabilized his mind and wanted to snatch the knife from Chu Sheng's hand, and the two fought like this. Chu Sheng was small after all, and although he tried his best to resist, he obviously fell behind. Lin Xi was frightened and shouted for help.
Seeing that Chu Sheng was pressed to the ground, the knife had been taken off, and Chu Dagen's hand had already caught the handle of the knife, Lin Xi kicked the knife out with a quick kick, grabbed the broom casually, and waved it at Chu Dagen, Chu Dagen's face was hurt by the broom, and he wanted to come over to catch Lin Xi, Chu Sheng finally got rid of the subdued and rushed over at Chu Dagen.
After some fighting, finally a villager heard the movement and came over to pull Chu Sheng and Chu Dagen apart. At this time, everyone was injured, and Chu Sheng was even more miserable here, with a broken piece of skin on his face, beads of blood, and his nose was also bleeding, looking at the seepage. Lin Xi also took a beating, but fortunately, it was the back, and the clothes were thick, so there should be no big problem. Chu Dagen wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, kept panting, and looked at Chu Sheng with red eyes.
When Tang Jianguo came, when he saw such a scene, the fire in his heart rose up, and he said sharply: "Chu Dagen, what are you doing here? What are you doing here?" Chu Dagen was going crazy, the little rabbit cub dared to do it with himself, he had raised him for ten years, and in the face of Tang Jianguo's questioning, he made it clear that in order to see Bao'er, let Chu Sheng make up some medical expenses. Chu Sheng was angry, he had no income at all, where was the money to pay for medicine, wasn't Chu Dagen just fighting Lin Xi's idea. Tang Jianguo cursed in his heart, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said to Lin Xi: "You go to Dr. Song first, and I will give you an explanation for this matter." ”
An enthusiastic villager went to report the news, and Dr. Song had already come. Lin Xi didn't say anything about the injury on his back, and only asked Doctor Song to show Chu Sheng. Lin Xi looked at Chu Sheng's face, he was afraid that this kid would break his appearance, a good face, what if he had a scar? After seeing it, Doctor Song was also a little worried, so he could only say to Lin Xi: "I disinfected him, there is a wound in one place that is a little deep, don't get wet, be careful, it's not good to leave a scar, now it can only be like this." When Lin Xi heard this, his eyes turned red. Chu Sheng comforted Lin Xi in turn: "Sister, it's okay, I'm a boy, and it's okay to have a little scar." Lin Xi was distressed and angry, tears rolled in his eyes: "A good face, there is a scar, even the boy is broken." Chu Sheng hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sister, don't cry, I'm not bad, and I'm okay with multiple scars." Lin Xi gave him a blank look, not wanting to talk to him. Chu Sheng comforted Lin Xi with his words.
Tang Jianguo heard Dr. Song's words and knew that there was no way to be vague about this matter, so he simply took someone to the village committee.
