Chapter 17 The Old Two Divide the Family
Wang Yufen hugged her stomach in pain, half leaning on the edge of the kang, unable to say a word. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Pan Erniang's anger is even stronger, "snap"! A slap with all his strength was thrown over, and Wang Yufen fell to the ground unsteadily.
At this time, it was almost dark, and Mrs. Shu, who got out of the carriage, hurried home. At Aunt Shu's house just now, she saw Aunt Shu who came back wearing the fox scarf she gave to Pan's family, and she couldn't sit still on the spot, so she barely drank two goods of tea and asked her eldest daughter to call a car to take her home.
As soon as I walked to the gate, I heard Pan Erniang's angry and penetrating roar: "My daughter is still so young, how can you do it!" Your conscience has let the dogs eat! If my daughter is not good, I will make you pay for your lives!! ”
Mrs. Shu chuckled in her heart, it couldn't be what Aunt Shu did.
When Dr. Liu came back, he obviously noticed the tense atmosphere of the Shu family. He was beating a drum in his heart, could it be Qinglan... Dr. Liu felt a little sorry for the child.
Shu Laosan turned his head and was overjoyed when he saw Dr. Liu coming back, and immediately ran over, picked up Dr. Liu and walked to his house. Pan Erniang stepped forward quickly, blocked the middle of the road, and asked Dr. Liu to go to the West Cross Courtyard to see the Qinglan sisters and brothers.
Dr. Liu tore off Shu Laosan's hand and walked to the west across the courtyard, Shu Laosan was about to ask again, but was grabbed by Mrs. Shu and shook her head at him. Shu Laosan looked at the backs of the three of them in disappointment, and he was angry and ashamed.
Qinglan's situation is even worse. The high fever does not go away for a long time, and if it continues like this, even if it can be saved, the person will be wasted. And after Dr. Liu looked closely, he found that Qinglan's breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and there were already signs of pneumonia.
The only consolation is that Mingyu's popularity has gradually subsided, and although it is still dangerous, it is already developing in a good direction.
Doctor Liu decided to prick Qinglan with needles to ward off the cold first, and then instructed Pan Erniang to boil a large pot of the prescription he had prepared, and let Qinglan soak in a medicinal bath later.
But before he could get the second shot, Dr. Liu was startled by Shu Laosan, who suddenly broke in and knelt in front of him.
"Doctor Liu! Please! Let's go see my daughter-in-law! She, she..."Shu Laosan was anxious and didn't know how to continue.
Yufen was born prematurely, the fetus has not yet entered the pelvis, and now she is lying in bed with heart-rending pain.
Shu Laosan has great expectations for this child, after all, the eldest son's disability is irreparable. Although he was angry that his wife had made a big mistake, so that he couldn't even say a word of intercession with his second brother and sister-in-law, but the child was innocent after all, and for the sake of the child, he could only beg with a shy face.
But no matter how Shu Laosan knelt on the ground and begged, Dr. Liu methodically pricked Qinglan with a needle. This is a rule, even if it is a family, this rule cannot be broken. It wasn't until he received the last shot on Qinglan's body that Shu Lao Er asked Dr. Liu, who was wiping his sweat, to see Wang Yufen.
Compared with Qinglan, Wang Yufen's situation is much better, how can a woman give birth without pain. However, this production will indeed suffer some hardships, and Wang Yufen suffered a loss in the last production, and she did not recuperate much in the later period, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to have children in the future.
After hearing this, Mrs. Shu shouted retribution in her heart, hating Wang Yufen who was not right, and feeling sorry for her youngest son, who had a difficult heir.
At midnight, Qinglan's condition deteriorated further, Dr. Liu frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, and Shu Lao Er and Pan Erniang didn't dare to come out.
If the fever can go away in the second half of the night, it may be just ordinary pneumonia, and it may be okay to raise it for two or three years, and as the child grows up, it may be fine. But if you can't retreat, even if Qinglan's foundation is good, it is likely to develop into severe pneumonia, and if you can't get it, it will become tuberculosis, and tuberculosis can't be cured at this time, and you will only cough up blood a little and die.
"Is there any way, anything, Doctor Liu, you just have to say." Shu Lao Er saw that his daughter's situation was probably not optimistic, otherwise Dr. Liu would not have frowned overnight.
"Unless..."Dr. Liu glanced around the room, thinking that maybe Shu Lao Er still had the conditions to try. He pondered again and again: "If you can invite Dr. Yu or the head of the Qin family to the provincial city of Deyitang, maybe there are three points of certainty..."Dr. Yu of Deyitang is over eighty years old and is the teacher of his own teacher, and the Qin family... The Qin family is very good at pediatrics, and there have been three imperial doctors. But no matter who it is, it is very difficult to invite Qinglan to see a doctor.
It's only three points... Shu Lao Er and Pan Erniang glanced at each other, and squeezed out a not-so-successful smile at Dr. Liu.
"And," despite the difficulties, Dr. Liu still said what was in his heart, "If you want to avoid future troubles, it is best to get the medicine that makes people easy." "He went to the capital to study last year, and he had witnessed the Yiren use medicine, although he did not actually operate it, but the Yiren did use their medicine to cure similar diseases.
"But..."Hearing Dr. Liu's words, Shu Lao Er and Pan Erniang's hearts clenched again.
"It's hard to find medicine, and it's extremely expensive, I'm afraid there won't be three or five thousand taels..."
Shu Lao Er and Pan Erniang gasped at the same time, and Mrs. Shu, who came in with porridge, also took a breath, even if she sold the Shu family, she didn't have that money!
Mrs. Shu looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and secretly said in her heart that it was not good, looking at the expressions of these two people, I was afraid that it was... Mrs. Shu couldn't stay any longer and hurried back to the main house.
Shu Lao Er brought the porridge to Dr. Liu, he and Pan Erniang hadn't had time to finish eating, and it was estimated that Dr. Liu, who had hurriedly picked up two bites of dinner, was also hungry now.
"We rule! Smashing pots and selling iron will also treat children! "The two are very much on the same page when it comes to children.
Doctor Liu said clearly: "Then I will prescribe medicine for my niece to drink, and the provincial capital will come and go for at least two days, so it is better for you to take your niece and daughter, and it is better to treat the disease as soon as possible." "Then Doctor Yu will definitely not go out of the city, even if he is willing, his family will not worry about him going, it is better to go to the doctor in person to be more sure.
Shu Lao Er made up his mind, thanked Dr. Liu, and patted Pan Erniang's hand again, "I'll go talk to my father." After finishing speaking, he got up immediately, and Pan Erniang gave him an encouraging and expectant look.
Three or five thousand taels Shu family is not, but three five hundred taels... Shu Lao Er's luck expectation.
The hour had passed, and the wind and snow had stopped at some point, and the wind was very strong, and it was bitterly cold. Shu Lao Er came to the main room and saw that Old Man Shu had not changed his clothes when he came back from work. He sat on the main seat, like an old monk in meditation, Shu Lao Da sat under him, Shu Lao Da sat opposite Shu Lao Da, and Shu Lao San sat below.
Shu Lao Er was stunned, this is... Waiting for him?
The light in the house was very weak, and everything that could be lit in the house was sent to Qinglan and Wang Yufen's house.
Boss Shu was holding a short smoke pot in his hand, and the red fire was shining brightly. Shu Lao Er couldn't see Old Man Shu's expression clearly, but he still told Qing Lan that she needed Yi Ren medicine and took Qing Lan to the provincial capital for treatment. After that, there was silence in the room.
"Second child," Old Man Shu finally spoke, and Second Shu felt like a lifetime had passed.
"You treat your daughter, I won't say anything, here are three hundred taels, it's all the money in the family, you take it."
Shu Lao Er was overjoyed, and he also estimated that the cash that the family could take out might be about that. However, Old Man Shu's next words made him fall into an ice cave.
"You take the money, but today I will make it clear. Your mother and I will not have it in the future, and this house will belong to your brother and your brother. I don't care where you go for treatment, you can go out with Pan in the future. ”
This is... Kicked out of your own family? Shu Lao'er's first reaction was that he was abandoned by his family, and he was at a loss.
"Don't think that I drove you out, the tree has big branches, you and Pan'er can do it, and the future will definitely not be rough. Of course, what should you do in the future, your brothers have broken bones and tendons, and we are still a family. Old Man Shu added.
This is... used money to block his back road, that is to say, the Shu family paid money, not only to get rid of himself who may be in debt in the future, but also to allow himself to find trouble with Shu Ergu and Shu Laosan, even if his daughter couldn't survive, unfortunately...
Several people looked at Shu Lao Er cautiously, and Shu Lao Er crooked his mouth self-deprecatingly and smiled. The smile seemed to be like a spring breeze, and the people here who laughed were a little hairy in their hearts.
"That's it." Shu Lao Er picked up the silver money on the table, put it in his arms, and strode out, the resolute back was distressing.
Mrs. Shu stared at the figure of her son leaving, and her clenched palm did not let go from beginning to end. Originally, she just wanted the old man and her eldest son to persuade the second child, but as a result...
Pan Erniang looked at Shu Lao Er who came back, her eyes were red, the corners of her eyes were obviously wet, and she asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Dad doesn't agree? After what happened to Shu Mingzhuang last time, Pan Erniang felt that Old Man Shu would not generously take out the money to treat his daughter, unless it was Boss Shu or Shu Dalang was sick.
"No," Shu Lao Er smiled at her, "Dad gave me three hundred taels." ”
Pan Erniang is overjoyed! Although it is still far from three thousand taels, plus the ones they saved by themselves and the bottom of the box from her marriage, there are also more than seven hundred taels! Go to Pan's house to borrow some more, don't expect that medicine, at least go to the provincial capital for treatment.
"However," Shu Laoer's expression became bitter, "Our father has divided the family, and we will have to find a place to live by ourselves in the future." ”
Pan Erniang was stunned for a second, and understood that this was because the Shu family was afraid that they would drag them down, so they bought it out with three hundred taels of silver.
"It's okay," Pan Erniang wanted to comfort her man, but tears fell unhappily.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all right, it's okay."
The two comforted each other outside for a while, then packed up their mood and went into the back room.
Dr. Liu has already heard it, and he is very ashamed of the old man Shu's behavior, and he still uses this set to cut his own son while it is hot, and the courtyard of the Shu family is now sold for more than three hundred taels.
Dr. Liu prescribed another pair of medicine to Qinglan, "I can let her sleep well on the way." Shu Lao Er nodded at him gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.
Pan Erniang put her wallet right, prepared a small bag, and took out the big bag made for Shu Lao Er - originally this dress was kept for the New Year.
Shu Lao Er didn't delay any longer and strode into the thick night.
It's already five watches, and at the coldest time of the day, Shu Lao Er knocked on the door of Pan's house.
Old Man Pan and Uncle Pan came in front of him, and when they saw Shu Lao Er, they hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
Shu Lao Er was not polite, and directly said that Qinglan was suddenly ill and needed to go to the provincial capital for treatment.
Old Man Pan is a quick temper, "Then what are you delaying!" Hurry up and ask me to come with you. ”
Shu Lao Er was shocked, it was freezing this day, how could he let Old Man Pan follow the car!
Uncle Pan and Shu Lao Er took turns to persuade them, but it didn't work at all, and Old Man Pan was determined to send his granddaughter to the provincial capital. He retorted loudly: "I can drive, how dare I go on the road in this snow without finding an old trick!" Where are you going to find someone to cut this point?! Besides, do you know where to find you in the provincial capital? Your mother and I have been there for a long time, and we know most of the place! After speaking, he immediately asked Chen Ling to pack his things, and he went to set up the car.
Uncle Pan knew that it was a foregone conclusion, so he no longer persuaded him, and followed Old Man Pan out, and when he came back after a while, he handed three silver tickets of 1,000 taels to Shu Lao Er. This is all the money on the Pan family's books, only some bits and pieces are left, and the payment will be collected at the end of the year, and there is still a month, and then we will find a way.
Shu Lao Er hurriedly waved his hand and provoked Uncle Pan Qiao, "Qingqing's illness is a big deal!" What are you polite to me here! Hurry up and take it and bring my niece back in good health! Shu Lao Er only felt that his heart was full, and it was about to overflow.
The big golden word is very happy, it is all suffocated! It's okay to have a fat belly! Since it came to Wei, it has spent most of its time in this small stable, occasionally going out, and it will arrive in less than half an hour, and it is very boring! Even if it is put on the wheel and yoke of the cart, it is excited to cut its hooves.
By the time Shu Lao Er returned to Shu's house to pick up Qinglan, Pan Erniang had already packed all the equipment for traveling to see a doctor, and even carefully hung her daughter's favorite purse on her. No matter what's inside, I just hope my daughter can find it as soon as possible, Pan Erniang thought with red eyes. (Qinglan: Mother, you are so caring!) Shu Lao Er felt uncomfortable, it was the first time that his daughter had suffered such a crime when she was so old.
Dr. Liu wrote a letter with Qinglan's pen and paper, hoping that Dr. Yu could give him this thin face, and Shu Lao Er took the letter and thanked him again.
On the morning of the winter solstice, as soon as the city gate opened, a white-haired, golden-brown horse, pulling an oil-covered carriage, galloped out of the city gate to the west.
At the same time, Wang Yufen gave birth to a dark and thin girl, Shu Laosan's face couldn't hide the disappointment, and Mrs. Shu also sighed. After Pan Erniang sent her grandfather away, she began to pack up her belongings, just now Mr. Pan told her to go back to Pan's house first, and Uncle Pan would call a car to pick her up later.
When Uncle Pan came, Mingyu's fever had almost subsided, and Dr. Liu prescribed him medicine for ten days, repeatedly told him some dietary taboos, and got up to say goodbye. Uncle Pan and Pan Erniang were grateful to Dr. Liu for their overnight protection and sent them out for a long time before returning to Shu's house. A few guys went back and forth a few times, moving the boxes, furniture, and living things in the west courtyard house to the mule cart, Uncle Pan hugged Mingyu, Pan Erniang hugged Brother He and walked out, the Shu family was quiet, and before going out, Pan Erniang said goodbye to Mrs. Shu.
"Mother, let's go." Pan Erniang was a little choked, people's hearts are long, she and Mrs. Shu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have kissed me for many years, and the relationship is still very deep, especially after Brother Hu was born, the relationship between the two has heated up, and some people believe in the mother-in-law. Although he was annoyed by the Shu family's approach, Pan was not an unreasonable person and understood Mrs. Shu's difficulties.
"Hey." Mrs. Shu nodded in response, "Qingqing is back and will bring a letter to the family", if it is said that Old Man Shu loves Dalang the most, then Old Mrs. Shu is undoubtedly the most favored Qinglan in this family except for Shu Lao and his wife.
Pan Erniang nodded, turned around, and the tears couldn't be hidden anymore. At this time, the men of the Shu family were all in the hall, but none of them came out to send them off.
Pan Erniang was no longer nostalgic and walked out of the alley quickly. The neighbors nearby opened their heads to poke their heads, but when they saw Uncle Pan's black face, they didn't dare to come up and ask.
Mrs. Shu walked into the main house of the West Cross Courtyard alone, sat on the kang that still had a little residual warmth, and looked at the empty room, and tears finally fell.
