Chapter 47 You decide
When she got home and sorted out the medicinal herbs, she went directly to the kitchen to get busy, and after more than an hour, the meal was ready.
She went out to call Chu Chaoyang over, and as soon as the two sat down, before they could eat a few bites of food, Aunt Genzi ran in from outside in a hurry.
"Aunt Genzi? What's wrong? Look at you're in a hurry. ”
"Have you eaten it? I'll go get you dishes and chopsticks, and I'll eat them here today. ”
With that, she put down her dishes and chopsticks and stood up.
"Girl, don't be busy, my aunt has something to ask you for help."
"Huh?"
Su Dongli was stunned.
Aunt Genzi quickly explained what had happened.
It turned out that the second daughter of her husband's cousin's family had an accident and rolled down the hillside while digging wild vegetables, hit her head on a stone, and is now unconscious.
This cousin of her family, Su Dongli also knows, lives in the west of the village, a few years ago the man died of illness, leaving a woman with a son and a daughter, this woman's surname is Yao, and the people in the village call her Widow Yao.
"Now there is no doctor in the village, so my aunt wants to ask you to come and have a look."
"Let's go, then."
Su Dongli had just walked out without two steps, remembering that Chu Chaoyang was still here, and turned his head and said; "Brother Chaoyang, just put the dishes and chopsticks after you finish eating, and I'll clean it up when I come back."
After speaking, without waiting for Chu Chaoyang to speak, she followed Aunt Genzi out of the courtyard quickly.
In less than ten minutes, the two arrived at the small courtyard of Widow Yao's house.
"Let's get ahead."
Aunt Genzi, who was far away, shouted at the throat to greet the villagers who gathered at the gate of the courtyard to watch the excitement.
"Miss Su is here, everyone hurry up and let go."
The people in front of them all dodged in both directions.
"Xiao Su, please, save my daughter, if something happens to her, our family won't be able to live."
She walked into the courtyard with her front foot, and Widow Yao greeted her.
"Auntie, I'll go and see Xiaolan's situation first, I'll definitely help if I can."
She also knew Zhang Meilan, the daughter of Widow Yao, and the two were of the same age, and they had some contacts.
"Yes, brother and sister, let's go see Xiaolan first."
Widow Yao led the two into the house.
The room is not big, and as soon as you come in, you can see Zhang Meilan lying on the kang, with a lot of new tears on her patched clothes and pants, faint blood stains, and a small bloody cut on her forehead.
Su Dongli walked over quickly, first checked the injuries that could be seen, they were all skin injuries, the abrasions on his body that rolled down the hillside, and the wound on his forehead was also abrasions, so the problem was not big.
She reached out to check the pulse, and as soon as her fingers touched Zhang Meilan's wrist, she frowned and glanced at Zhang Meilan deeply.
The other hand opened her eyelid and looked at it for a moment before withdrawing the hand that was checking the pulse.
"Aunt Yao, it's not a big problem, your head will only fall into a coma if you get some concussions, you should be able to wake up if you slow down first."
As soon as she said this, Widow Yao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again; "That's good, that's good."
"Auntie, I think Xiaolan should still have injuries on her body, you go boil some water, and I'll check on her."
Widow Yao nodded, and Aunt Genzi beckoned everyone to exit the house and closed the door.
Seeing that everyone had left, Su Dongli walked to the edge of the kang and sat down, looked at Zhang Meilan in a coma, and said softly; "I don't know what happened to you, but it's not a problem to pretend to be unconscious."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Meilan, who was lying on the kang, chuckled in her heart and did not move.
That's right, she was pretending to be unconscious, just now Su Dongli found the clue as soon as she took the pulse, and when she opened her eyelids to check, she knew that she was pretending to be unconscious.
"If you go on like this, Aunt Yao will send you to the town, you can't hide it at all, why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you think of a way."
Zhang Meilan struggled a little in her heart, and it took a while before she slowly opened her eyes.
"Third Sister Su, I can't help it, so..."
"Can you tell me why?"
Hearing him ask like this, Zhang Meilan's eyes immediately turned red, and she said the matter aggrievedly.
Her father died early, and her mother and wife depended on each other, and their lives were very poor over the years, and the conditions were very bad.
Because of the family conditions, her eldest brother is almost twenty-five years old, and she has not yet found a daughter-in-law, and her mother has always been worried about this matter.
Some time ago, a relative of her grandfather introduced a partner to her brother, and the other party asked for a bride price of 300 yuan, but in her family's situation, she couldn't take out 30 yuan, let alone 300 yuan.
But this is a good opportunity, her mother has been trying to find a way to make money, and she didn't know where she got the news a few days ago.
Tangjiagou, a lame man in his thirties gave a bride price of 500 yuan to find a daughter-in-law.
Her mother's mind became active, and she found someone to bring a message, saying that she wanted to marry Zhang Meilan.
To put it mildly, it is to marry the past, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to sell the past.
Zhang Meilan is now eighteen or nineteen years old, and she doesn't look bad, let her marry an old man in his thirties with inconvenient legs, it's no wonder she can be willing.
That's why I pretended to be unconscious and wanted to dodge.
"In three days, someone will come from Tangjiagou, so I..."
"You just want to take advantage of the coma and get out?"
Zhang Meilan nodded.
"You can't do this, you pretend to be unconscious for three days, you can't stand it without eating or drinking? Besides, Aunt Yao must be determined to do this, avoid this time, what about next time? ”
For this kind of selling of her daughter, Su Dongli looks down on her in her heart, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is inconvenient for her to give Zhang Meilan advice as an outsider.
If this was known that day, outsiders would definitely say that she instigated Zhang Meilan to mess around.
"If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, I have already thought about the rest of the matter, Third Sister Su, I beg you not to tell anyone, help me hide this time."
Su Dongli was silent for a while, stood up, and said softly; "When you wake up, you decide."
As soon as she said this, Zhang Meilan immediately understood what she meant, and gratitude flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you."
Su Dongli shook his head in his heart, opened the door and explained the situation, and asked Widow Yao to wash Zhang Meilan and change her clothes, she will come over again tomorrow to see the situation.
For her medical skills, many people in the village are still very confident, although Widow Yao has not seen it, but in the current situation, she can only listen to Su Dongli.
As for sending it to the health center, she never thought about it.
When I got home, I saw Chu Chaoyang still sitting at the dinner table, and the food didn't move.
"Brother Chaoyang, how are you..."
"You've been busy all day, I'll wait a minute."
Hearing this, Su Dongli had a strange feeling in his heart, nodded and walked to the dining table and sat down.
"What about the wounded?"
Chu Chaoyang asked curiously.
"It's not a big problem, just take a break for a while."
She didn't say much about Zhang Meilan's situation.
The next day, she went to Widow Yao's house, and after dividing everyone up, she took out the steamed buns and steamed buns prepared in advance and gave them to Zhang Meilan, and also gave her a piece of jerky.
"That's all I can help you, think for yourself what you're going to do in the future."
Zhang Meilan, who had been hungry for a day, gobbled up steamed buns and dried meat, nodding again and again with red eyes.
