"A while ago, your grandfather went to sea with Yu Dashan and encountered a storm. Yu Dashan was swept into the sea, and your grandfather choked a few mouthfuls of water in order to save Yu Dashan, and when he came back, he began to have a fever and cough. It's been more than half a month on and off, and it's not good to get old! Yu Hai was a little worried.

Yu Hang snorted coldly and said, "Grandpa's illness is not a serious illness, it must be that the Zhang family is reluctant to spend money to see grandpa, so he drags it out like that." Last time, her father shouldn't have given her ten taels of silver, but asked the doctor to treat her grandfather. That silver, there must be no return for the meat buns and the dogs! ”

In the past year, Zhang's style of slamming the door has intensified. The staple food is a coarse grain cake without a little fine grain, and it doesn't matter if it's enough, the vegetables are just green vegetables grown in the garden, and they are reluctant to put oil. The Li family relied on his son to make money, and clamored several times to separate the family, and when he heard that he was going to leave the house cleanly, and the current house could not be lived, he stopped.

However, with a big mouth, she didn't arrange her mother-in-law Zhang in the village, saying that her mother-in-law was partial to her younger son, and all the money earned by the family was subsidized to her younger son who was studying in Fucheng. also said that her mother-in-law treated their family harshly, and her sons were fifteen years old, and they didn't bother to say goodbye. This is to squeeze the blood of the family to feed the bottomless pit of the aftermath!

When he came back this time, Yu Xiaocao took three roast ducks, and one more person in the family was definitely not enough to eat, so when the third uncle went back later, let him take one back. Roast duck is five or six taels of silver, and if you take it to see your grandfather, you will definitely not be able to eat it in the mouths of your family. Maybe it will be exchanged for silver by the Zhang family!

Yu Xiaocao bought a fat hen and fifty eggs from the Zhou family next door, and accompanied by her eldest brother Yu Hang, she went to the mansion to see her grandfather.

Pushing open the old wooden door, there was no one in the courtyard, quietly. The uncle studied in Fucheng, and the sister-in-law and Doudou lived in the town. After the sister-in-law got married, only the grandfather, the Zhang family and Yu Dashan's family lived in the entire mansion.

At this time, Yu Dashan should have returned from going to sea and squatting on the fish market at the dock to sell fish. Li was too lazy to work, and he didn't know where to go to chew the root of his tongue. In order to earn more money for his youngest son to go to school, Zhang took a shovel to the beach and took advantage of the low tide to dig up sea intestines. There was no sound in the whole house except for the hungry half-sized pigs in the pen.

Suddenly, in the west house where Yu Hai's family originally lived, there was a violent coughing sound. The cough came one after another, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, making people worry about whether he would faint from breathlessness in the next second.

"Grandpa?" The brother and sister glanced at each other and hurriedly ran towards Westinghouse. Perhaps because Westinghouse has not been inhabited for a long time, it looks even more dilapidated. The straw on the roof is sparse, I don't know how long it hasn't been repaired, and if it rains, it must be heavy rain outside and light rain inside.

Since Yu Hai's family moved out, Westinghouse has been idle as a utility room. How could Grandpa come to live in the Westinghouse?

Pushing open the crumbling door of the Westinghouse, the darkness inside made it difficult for the siblings to see inside for a moment. After a while, I saw a skinny figure lying on the familiar broken kang, leaning over and coughing from another distance.

"Grandpa!" Yu Xiaocao put down the things he was carrying, rushed into the house, gently helped Lao Yutou to sit up, patted him on the back, and made him feel better.

The smell in the house was disgusting, and the thick stench emanated from the withered grandfather, coupled with the smell from the pigsty next to it, made people can't help but retch.

The coughing finally stopped, and the old man hurriedly pushed Yu Xiaocao away, and said with difficulty: "Xiaocao, stay away from grandpa." They all said that my grandfather had tuberculosis and was contagious. You brothers and sisters get out of here, and don't get sick on you. ”

Yu Xiaocao saw that his grandfather's pants were covered with urine and sweat stains, and he obviously hadn't changed them for a long time. Looking at her grandfather lying helplessly on the bed, her nose was slightly sore, and she held back her tears and said to Yu Hang: "Big brother, you go and help grandpa find a clean clothes to change into." I'm going to boil water and wipe my grandfather's body. ”

"No, go back! Grandpa's disease is incurable, you hurry up, don't get tuberculosis, this disease is not cured!! The old man was so anxious that he tried to sit up, but his thin arm had no strength at all, and he lay on the bed panting.

Yu Xiaocao took his pulse, it was not tuberculosis at all, it was pneumonia caused by high fever. She estimated that her grandfather had a fever after returning from the sea, but she didn't take it to heart, and slowly dragged it into pneumonia. Zhang was reluctant to ask for a doctor, so he could get some herbs for him to eat, so his condition would be so serious.

"Grandpa, who said you had tuberculosis?" Yu Xiaocao saw that her grandfather's lips were dry, and the jug at the head of the bed was empty. Grandpa has a fever and doesn't even drink saliva, no wonder he burns into pneumonia!

Yu Xiaocao boiled a pot of boiling water, scooped out a cup and let it cool, added a drop of spirit stone liquid, and fed it to his grandfather. Old Yu hadn't drunk a sip of water for two days, and he felt that the boiling water was like a rain, moisturizing his dry body.

At the beginning, Zhang would also bring him food and water, but later he was a little scared when he saw that he had a bad cough and coughed up blood two days ago. There was a family in her ex-husband's village, and the man had tuberculosis, which infected the whole family, and none of them died.

Zhang was afraid that Lao Yutou's illness would affect her, so he asked his eldest son to carry people to Westinghouse. Usually when you deliver food and water, you cover your mouth and nose with a towel. In the past two days, I saw that Lao Yutou was so sick that he couldn't get up, and he felt that it was only these two days, so he simply didn't even send food and water. Only the old man was left lying helplessly in the West House waiting to die.

Yu Xiaocao dipped a towel in the cool water of the well to wipe his forehead, neck and armpits to help him cool down physically. The old man is anxious! As soon as he was old, he died when he died, and his little granddaughter was the same age and had the ability, but he couldn't be affected by him, a dying man! But no matter what he said, Yu Xiaocao was unmoved.

The old man said that he didn't dare to move, which was false. Tribulation sees the truth, these days Zhang's coldness, Yu Dashan's ruthlessness, he sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart.

Yu Dashan is only two years older than Yu Hai, he was only seven or eight years old when he came, he never regarded Yu Dashan as an outsider, there is the sea and Caifeng, there is Yu Dashan, and he has never been biased. But after all, he was not born by himself, and his illness still fell because he saved Yu Dashan. But when he was seriously ill, he didn't even show his face, and for so many years, he raised a white-eyed wolf!

There is also the Zhang family, who has been a husband and wife for decades, and he fell ill and didn't care about any feelings. Ignoring him while he was still in the Westinghouse, I hoped that he would take his last breath sooner so that he could save one person's rations. As the saying goes: a husband and wife for a hundred days, Zhang's approach, what is the difference between murdering her husband, it's really chilling! If he is lucky not to die this time, he will not be able to live with the cold-hearted and vicious Zhang. lest one day in your sleep, you will be harmed by that poisonous woman!

In the past few days, Lao Yutou has always dreamed of his original couple. Retribution! He knew that his ex-wife was murdered by the Zhang family, but he turned a blind eye for the sake of his children and reputation, and now it is his turn. It's okay, when he arrives in the underworld, if he can find his ex-wife, he will definitely confess to her and make amends, he didn't take care of the two children, he really deserves to die!

"Brother, why is it so long?" Yu Hang came in with a familiar dress, and Yu Xiaocao asked in surprise.

Yu Hang glanced at his grandfather, sighed, and said, "Grandpa's clothes are piled up in the corner of the yard, no one helps wash them, and not a single clean dress in the box is gone." So I ran home and got my father's clothes. ”

The old man sighed deeply, this is wishing he died early, what else do the dead man's clothes wash?

When Yu Hang bathed Lao Yutou, Yu Xiaocao killed the hen, stewed the soup, and prepared to use the chicken soup to make porridge for his grandfather. This Zhang is really ruthless, his man doesn't see a doctor when he is sick, and he doesn't even give him saliva to drink!

When Zhang returned, he saw smoke coming out of his kitchen from a distance. I thought that the lazy lady of the Li family was secretly cooking and eating, and ran home quickly with her little feet. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yu Xiaocao carrying a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, looked at her indifferently, and entered the West House.

Smelling the aroma of chicken soup wafting in the air, Zhang slapped his thigh: "My chicken!" He hurriedly ran to the chicken pen, counted the number of chickens twice, and found that there was no less one, so he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Then, as if remembering something, he ran to the kitchen, and found that the basket in which he hid white rice had been moved, and when he took it down, he found that the rice was less, and he was about to scold his legs. suddenly remembered that Yu Xiaocao was not used to her, and she still had a handle in the hands of others!

Zhang put the basket heavily on the stove, and when he saw that there were still half a chicken in the pot, he took a clay pot and put the chicken and chicken soup in it. When I was going to visit my grandson in town tomorrow, I would bring chicken soup for Doudou to drink.

After hiding the chicken soup, Zhang came to the door of the West House, and the old man changed into clean clothes, and the kang was also cleaned up. Yu Xiaocao was holding a bowl and feeding her grandfather.

She covered her mouth and nose with her hands and said in a strange voice, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Your grandfather had tuberculosis, and it was contagious if it wasn't cured. Go back quickly, don't forget to take a shower and smoke it with mugwort, and scald your clothes with boiling water a few times......"

Yu Xiaocao handed the porridge bowl to Yu Hang, stood up, walked up to Zhang, looked at her coldly and said, "How do you know that my grandfather has tuberculosis?" Have you called a doctor for him? You're not a doctor, so why should you draw conclusions? ”

Zhang was intimidated by her momentum, took two steps back, his lips trembled a few times, and then stumbled: "My neighbors in the village used to have tuberculosis and died. The symptoms are the same as your grandfather's, first coughing, then hemoptysis, so sick that he can't get out of bed! It's not that I'm reluctant to give money and don't give your grandfather a doctor. Tuberculosis is an incurable disease, and no matter how much money you spend, you will be blind. It's better to save some for your son to study! ”
