Chapter 18: Strangeness
"I don't care about Xiao Xia, after all, they are a difficult household in our community, and I want to do my part to help them more." Although Secretary Wu was embarrassed, he had no intention of leaving.
"I don't usually see how much you care, don't you look down on the little things in these parents?" Aunt Jiang muttered disdainfully.
"Lao Jiang, what you said is not right, the masses are no trivial matter, we all serve the people, how can we not take their affairs to heart?"
Secretary Wu's face was upright, but Aunt Jiang was angry.
"Okay, Secretary Wu, you are dedicated to the people, you can take care of this matter to the end, my consciousness is low, I can't do these things in the community!" Aunt Jiang hatefully dropped the paper in her hand, turned around and left.
The people in the room were stunned, one by one, they were silent, the room was so quiet that there was no sound, a trace of annoyance flashed on Secretary Wu's lenses, and it took a while before he spoke slowly, "Okay, what should everyone do, don't be stupid here." ”
"Come on, Xiao Xia, talk to Auntie about your family's situation." Secretary Wu warmly took Xia Yao's hand.
"Say, what do you say?" Xia Yao lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito, and he looked timid and introverted.
"Hey, you kid have to be strong, and your family will depend on you to support you in the future." Seeing that Xia Yao still didn't speak, she softened her voice again, "Didn't your grandfather stock up on a lot of medicine at home?" How did you finish eating it so quickly? You can't be lying to Auntie, are you? ”
"What am I lying to you for?" Xia Yao raised his head and looked at her inexplicably and warily, "I don't know you." ”
The implication is that I don't know you, I don't need you to be nosy, and I don't have time to lie to you, so don't come to me to get close.
Secretary Wu smiled, "I really want to help you, your mother's medicine is finished, you have to buy it quickly, I am familiar with the doctors of Shenhu Hospital, and when the time comes, I will invite them to your house to give your mother a free consultation in the name of the community, what do you think?" ”
"Do you need money for free clinics?" She pinched the corner of her clothes and asked timidly.
"Since it's a free clinic, of course you don't need money, you can rest assured, people's big hospitals are trying to be famous, not that little money." Secretary Wu patted her on the shoulder and said proudly.
"Thank you, Auntie." She looked timid, as if she didn't dare to imagine that such a good thing would fall on her head.
Secretary Wu pulled the corners of his lips proudly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, "Your mother's illness can't be delayed, I'll contact you now, and I'll take Dr. Lin to your house tomorrow morning to see your mother." ”
Xia Yao nodded.
"Okay, your mother needs to be taken care of at home alone, you can go back quickly." Secretary Wu straightened up and returned to his usual cold arrogance.
Xia Yao thanked her and left the community office, but instead of going home directly, she asked several nearby residents about the address of Aunt Jiang's house.
The community office is still some distance from the dormitory of the textile factory, and the aunts and aunts here love gossip, but they don't hate the Xia family like the residents in the compound, and they don't even recognize her, and when they see that this little girl seems to be quite polite, they patiently show her the way.
Aunt Jiang's home is in this area, only a ten-minute walk away, is a small courtyard where several families live, probably a few decades ago, and it looks even more dilapidated than the textile factory compound.
Aunt Jiang held her breath and was standing in the patio and scolding Secretary Wu with a neighbor who was washing clothes.
"What kind of thing is that Wu Meihua? Cheng Tian looks high, but it's just a broken shoe, I don't know who I got on it, I really think I'm a character, I'm ......" Aunt Jiang was holding an enamel teacup, with one hand on her waist, full of momentum.
"Aunt Jiang," Xia Yao didn't want to interrupt Aunt Jiang's talking, but seeing that it was not too early, she didn't feel at ease if she left Xia Fanglian alone at home for too long, so she had to speak.
"How did you get here?" Aunt Jiang looked at her with a stunned expression.
"I came here to find Aunt Jiang," Xia Yao's expression was a little aggrieved, and his voice was low, "I don't like that Secretary Wu." ”
Aunt Jiang has a lot of opinions about Wu Meihua, and when she said this, she felt extremely ironed, and her expression was a little kinder.
"She's not a good thing, you can tell the good from the bad when you look at the face of such a small child" Aunt Jiang scolded Wu Meihua a few more words to her neighbor in front ......of a little girl like her, who was ignorant of the world, and then turned to Xia Yao, "She embarrassed you just now?" ”
"No, she just wants my mother to go to that Shenhu Hospital to see a doctor......"
"Phew, this Wu Meihua is really black-hearted, does she have to change her career as a community secretary to become a medical trust? She must have taken the benefits of that hospital and is ready to scam you out of your money! ”
"I think so too, I never knew her, and I never heard my grandfather talk about her, why does she look very familiar with my family, which makes people feel uncomfortable."
"Who says it's not," Aunt Jiang looked disdainful, "She looks like she is high all day long, and she has never looked down on the short things in our parents, why does she care so much about your family, who believes it if she is not tired?" Maybe you'll be thinking about your grandfather's pension. ”
In fact, Aunt Jiang doesn't have any conclusive evidence, and it is impossible to take the affairs of the Xia family to heart and think about it carefully, but she has been grudging with Wu Meihua for a long time, and today she made her unable to step down in public, so she also had the heart to return the color and rely on her own speculation to plant false accusations.
"She also said that tomorrow she would invite doctors from Shenhu Hospital to come to my house for free treatment for my mother."
"Don't believe her! Free clinics? It's no wonder she has such a good heart! Aunt Jiang said without hesitation, "She has never done anything like a human being, she only knows how to do those superficial skills." ”
"Then what if she has to bring someone tomorrow?" Xia Yao had tears in his eyes, and looked at Aunt Jiang with a scared expression, "Auntie, I'm afraid...... My mom and I are living on that money......"
"Don't be afraid, Auntie will go to your house tomorrow, with Auntie here, Wu Meihua won't be able to make any big waves!"
"Our family only believes in you, aunt!" Xia Yao looked at her with a dependent face, a relieved smile bloomed on his face, and the tears in his eyes couldn't fall, which made people feel pitiful.
"Good boy! You're really miserable! Aunt Jiang was originally a soft-hearted person, and seeing her like this was even more soft-hearted, "Don't worry, Aunt will definitely call the shots for you." ”
With Aunt Jiang's promise, Xia Yao finally put his mind at ease.
The pills that were dropped, Wu Meihua's strange attitude, and the details that she ignored in her previous life gradually surfaced, making her begin to wonder if she had missed something in the past, or had misbelieved something.
When she found out that the pills had been dropped, she didn't think about taking Xia Fanglian to see a doctor, but Xia Fanglian had an extreme fear of going out to meet strangers, and she couldn't send Xia Fanglian to the hospital as a child, so she thought of asking Aunt Jiang to help.
Judging from Aunt Jiang's previous attitude, she didn't plan to take this trouble, after all, Xia Fanglian is a mentally ill person, and it is not a joke to have a seizure, so she just asked Xia Yao to take Xia Fanglian by bus to see a doctor, if it wasn't for Wu Meihua's intervention, she might not continue to take care of this matter.
