Chapter 61: Asking the Heart (Acknowledgments)
"The Renhetang in the town was opened by my father, and I saw you when you first came to the hospital six years ago." Doctor Song said with a look of reminiscence.
Six years ago, he was still an apprentice at that time, he would follow his father to study medicine every day, and he would also help in Renhetang, a teenager, it was the most naughty time, but Song Jingxian was very calm, even Doctor Song, who has always been very demanding, although he didn't say it in his mouth, he was very satisfied with his son in his heart.
Song Jingxian seems to have been born to study medicine, he is careful, patient, and more calm, the prosperity of the outside world is not as interesting as boring medical books for him, every day he goes to Renhetang to help catch medicine, boil medicine, watch his father treat people, feel their joy, he feels very happy.
"The child's first sudden illness relapsed, you came over in a panic, kept pleading, at that time I thought that the child had parents like you, it was his blessing, but now I see you, I feel sad for that child." Doctor Xiao Song said lightly, his voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap, causing a violent shock in the hearts of the middle-aged man and the woman.
They seem to have returned to that time, the newborn child was weak, they held him in their arms, watching him grow up little by little, anxious for him, worried about him, giving everything for him, watching him grow up little by little, full of joy.
With the words of Dr. Xiao Song, the middle-aged man and the woman have thought a lot, this is their first child, the woman has no children for a long time after getting married, under the pressure of the family, the man has been guarding her, and the husband and wife are full of expectations for this late child, he is a treasure given to them by God.
Since when has this child changed, this child has become more and more unpleasant in their eyes, he has become annoying, every time he sees his weak and pale body, his heart will occasionally flash with remorse and disgust, if only he did not save zĂ i. Without him, their family would have been able to live well, and when Lizheng sent someone over, the couple did not hesitate to choose the eldest boy from among the children.
"Daughter-in-law. It's us who are sorry for the child, it's us who gave up on him, he should resent us, it's the ...... we owe the child," the middle-aged man said with remorse.
"No, not us. Even if we don't come, this child won't live, he is not in good health, and he will ...... sooner or later" The woman couldn't say the next words, I don't know whether to comfort myself or persuade others, the woman muttered, this is all fate, don't blame others.
"It's not fate, it's all us. It's us who hurt the kids......"
"He is our child, we gave birth to him and raised him, how can he resent us......"
"You gave birth to him, but he is also a person, he has feelings, you are his parents, he depends on you so much, but what about you, I don't know what you are calculating in your hearts. But when the boy heard your words, it was clear that he didn't want to live anymore. Li Zheng stood aside and couldn't help but speak.
"The matter of sacrificing in the village, the candidates are all decided by the clan elders together, what reason do you have to resent Wan'er. Not only did she not harm you, on the contrary, the Song family repaid their grievances with virtue, and Wan'er saved these children at a critical moment, if it weren't for Wan'er girl, your children would have been sacrificed to the mountain god by the clan elders. â
"You're not a good person either." The woman said hatefully.
"Huh!" Rizheng laughed disappreciatively. He has never said that he is a good person with a kind heart, on the contrary, he knows how to make trade-offs, a really kind and loyal old man can't be right, "Whatever you say, in short, Wan'er girl saved your eldest baby, why did you come to the county government to slander her?" â
Li Zheng turned his head to look at the county magistrate, leaned over and said: "My lord, on the way to the county seat today, we also encountered a group of bandits with bad intentions, according to the robbers, they were also instructed to deal with the Song family. â
Everyone around didn't know about it, and when they heard the words, they couldn't help but make a commotion, and the discussions rang out one after another, and all kinds of eyes looked at the middle-aged man and the woman, heard about Song Wan'er's actions to save people, and saw Song Wan'er save the male baby with their own eyes, and everyone was very angry about the woman's false accusation.
"It must be punished severely!"
"Yes, sir, you must give that little girl justice."
"The bad guys can't go unpunished."
"They must not be spared."
The crowd was excited, and the county commander had to slap the startling wood heavily to make everyone quiet.
"Ahem!" With a few light coughs, someone covered his mouth, an anxious look flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he looked left and right, looking at the people around him.
The woman looked up, trembling slightly, and then bowed her head in resignation.
"Silence." The county magistrate scolded, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and the woman in the hall, and asked majestically, "What else do you have to say?" â
"Your lord's forgiveness, please be merciful." The woman lay on the ground and kowtowed, "It's all the little woman who was fascinated for a while, and when she heard that Li Zheng gave the Song family a piece of land, she thought that the Song family was rich, and our children were seriously ill, so she thought about ......" The woman paused, gritted her teeth and continued: "I just want to slander Song Wan'er and blackmail the Song family for some money." â
"Bang bang!" The woman kowtowed vigorously, "My lord, this is all my own idea, it has nothing to do with my father-in-law, he was also deceived by me, so he will follow me to the county office, please be clear." â
"Daughter-in-law, are you ......" The middle-aged man looked at the woman and listened to the words in her mouth, and the whole person was stunned.
"The child's father, I'm sorry, I blame me, I'm sorry for your father and son, you're right, I don't resent others in this matter, it's all my own sin, I see that the Song family's life is getting better and better, but our children are getting sicker and sicker, and the family can't live a difficult life, so I have a vicious mind."
The woman looked at the middle-aged man with pleading eyes, think about the children at home, think about the elderly parents, don't be impulsive, there are still many people in the family who need your care.
"Then how did you know that the Song family would come to the county office?" The prefectural magistrate heard this.
"I have been following the Song family, and when I saw them leaving, I immediately followed them with my children in my arms." Woman.
Hearing this, the county magistrate was noncommittal, "That group of robbers, does it have anything to do with you?" â
"No, no." The woman shook her head again and again, "My lord, we really just want to extort some money, and other things have nothing to do with us. â
A look of satisfaction flashed in someone's eyes, and the woman's answer made everyone feel indignant, and when they learned the truth of the matter, they felt a little difficult to accept it for a while.
"In that case, then ......" The county commander waved his hand and beckoned a person, and was about to open his mouth to command, when a person suddenly appeared from the hall and interrupted him.
"She's talking nonsense, it's not like this at all, they're really trying to hurt people." The voice was still a little weak, but it clearly resounded in everyone's ears, and it was the nine-year-old boy who should be resting. (To be continued.) )
