Chapter 5 It is up to people to make things happen

"No matter how bad the year is, it won't be to the point of selling children and daughters!"

The village chief slammed his cane to the ground and glanced at Du Shi, who was biting his mouth, "Lao Shantou was seriously ill at the beginning, and this family fell into the hands of your Du family day by day, you are not strict with your godson, and you are not benevolent in the future, so you must come up with money to treat the disease today!" ”

The tragic appearance of Shan Tao was placed in front of everyone's eyes, and there were blood stains left by Du Yingqiu's kowtow on the ground, and the onlookers couldn't help but persuade them.

"Aunt Du, isn't this life more important than money?"

"The four girls are like this, they are evil, and they are still thinking about her mother......"

"If you want me to say, Yamajiro's bad gambling is not because Du Shi favors her own son. It's a shame that Yamajiro treats her like a mother. ”

If there are other words, Du Shi only listened to the wind, but when he heard someone splashing dirty water on her own son Shan Saburo's heart, his face immediately changed.

She is an elderly widow, she gave birth to a pair of children, and it is impossible to remarry, and what she cares about most is nothing else is reputation.

"Treat, okay, I'll take the money to treat." Du Shi wiped his face, walked into the room and took out a clay pot, and smashed it on the ground with a bang in front of everyone, scattering scattered copper plates on the ground.

"That's all the money, there's not a lot! Someone chews my son's tongue again, and I fight with him! ”

A crisp sound stopped the words of the onlookers, and Shan Dalang hurriedly stepped forward to collect the copper plates on the ground, and only counted less than ten, so he couldn't remember the count, and scratched his head anxiously.

"There are four hundred and thirty-six in total, less than half a hanging." Shan Tao only glanced at it and accurately reported the number, and did not get up because of this, but stared directly at Du Shi, "Grandma, my father is a bad gambler, but since he went to work in the town, he has insisted on sending money to his family every month, and my mother didn't take a copper plate from that money, and it is all filial piety to you." You can't have that all there is to your home. ”

Someone had a little pity for Du Shi, and he was disturbed by Shan Tao's words, thinking that Shan Erlang's gambling money would harm the family, but he didn't expect Du to still receive Shan Erlang's filial piety every month, and now he is lying on the bed dying, and he is not even willing to take out the life-saving money.

With the memory of Shan Tao being just over five years old, she shouldn't have known this, but her mother was not less angry because of this, and beat her when she was angry, saying that she was a useless rotten meat, and she didn't even remember her father.

How did Du Shi know about this, and the little girl Shantao also knew, and he didn't refute it for a while, but he was solid in the eyes of others, and only quibbled, "How much copper can he earn?" That's all, and more...... Take my life to pay the debt! ”

After speaking, Du Shi sat on the ground and began to cry, "Daddy, you left early, I don't know how hard I am, useless beasts are going to force me to death, why don't you take me with me......"

Seeing that Du Shi didn't even care about decency, Shan Tao knew that it would be difficult to force out the money today, got up and patted the ash on his knees, walked up to the village chief with red eyes and bowed and apologized, "Grandpa the village chief, my grandma is also distressed, she doesn't mean to scold you for being a beast, I will make amends for you for my grandmother." ”

Originally, Du Shi scolded the second room of the big house, but the village chief who was in charge was present, which was equivalent to even him scolding in, if it weren't for the bow of the mountain peach, the people next to him would not have thought of it, so when he heard it, these people who watched the excitement and persuaded him have become the beasts in Du's mouth.

This time, the Du family completely lost the hearts of the people, and offended most of the same village, and even the village chief didn't look at her well, "Siya is sensible, grandpa doesn't care about your grandmother." It's important to save people, I'll borrow a lot of money, don't be in a hurry to pay it back in your second room, it's important to prescribe medicine first. ”

As soon as the village chief made a move, the villagers who were watching were not easy to stand by, mainly because Siya's performance today was too miserable, and she was so sensible that it was distressing.

Compared to the village chief, the family took a son and a half, plus the money in the clay pot, barely enough to scrape together two hangings.

Shan Dalang went back to the house to get the money in a muffled voice, and Jin followed into the house to stop but was glared at by Shan Dalang, "The villagers have all taken action, can I, the eldest brother and uncle, not come out?" If you stop me again, you will be separated from me! ”

The first time Shan Dalang was so angry at Jin, Jin was stunned, sat crookedly on the bed, and cried and hammered the quilt.

"Let's go Siya, let's chase the doctor." Shan Dalang carried a large handful of copper coins, and pulled up the small hands of Shan Tao that were as thin as chicken paws and rushed to the head of the village.

Looking at Shan Dalang's firm back, Shan Tao felt some warmth on the first day of his rebirth.

The mountain family is just a poor family in a small mountain nest, but the evil here is on the face, and the good here is not hesitant to give, unlike everyone in the deep palace who laughs and sticks an inch of knife into you.

It didn't take much time, one big and one urinated to catch up with the doctor at the head of the village, not because the doctor was slow, but because he didn't wait for the ox cart to return to the town.

Holding a handful of money, Shan Dalang looked at the doctor with a straight face, he knew that the doctor was kind-hearted when he invited the doctor, otherwise the medical fee was not enough to come to this mountain nest, and now his mother scolded other doctors for robbing money, and he didn't have the face to open this mouth.

Shan Tao saw Shan Dalang's embarrassment, squeezed his thick hand, took a step forward, and bowed respectfully to the doctor, "Doctor, you are a benevolent doctor, and the younger generation is grateful, I apologize to you on behalf of my grandma." I implore you to help you again, we will pay for the medicine, and I will Tao in the future... Siya makes cows and horses for you. ”

"Yes, yes, doctor, you are kind, the money is here, there are more than two hangs, grab some medicine, save my second brother and brother-in-law." Shan Dalang is not as clever as Shan Taozui, but he is simple and sincere, and he bows to the doctor vigorously.

The doctor, who was still a little depressed, couldn't bear to sigh, raised his hand and helped Shan Dalang, opened the medicine box to pick and choose, and reluctantly made up two pairs of medicines, "The medicine I brought to the clinic is incomplete, these two pairs don't charge money, go home and fry a pair for them first, this one is your father's, this one is your mother's." ”

Compared with Shan Dalang, the doctor felt that the well-organized Shan Tao was more worthy of advice, gave her the medicine and talked about the decoction, and finally ordered Shan Dalang, "You go back to the town with me, take the medicine and come back tomorrow." ”

At this time, it was already dark, and Shan Dalang also felt that it was time to send the doctor back, so he agreed.

Shan Tao held the medicine bag and bowed to the person again before running back home.

When he returned to Shan's house, a room full of people was scattered, Du was so angry that he lay on the bed and only gasped, Jin cleaned up in the courtyard, and Shan Dalang chased people with Shan Tao, and she was not allowed to send Xie to the villagers.

Shan Tao wanted to help, but Jin avoided it, and he didn't know whether it was a good word or a bad word with a cold face, "I spent a full two dollars on the expensive medicine, so let's get busy." ”

Although the big house and the second room are the same mother, they have also accumulated grievances for a long time, and Shan Tao knew that it was not a day's work to resolve it, so he only thanked the Jin family and went to the kitchen to find a crockpot decoction.

Busy until the middle of the night, the willows on the moon, finally finished feeding the medicine, the mountain peach was already weak, so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, wrapped in a torn clothes, and fell asleep on the board.

"Alas......" A sigh sounded in the dark night, Du Yingqiu slowly sat up with her head up, looked at the mountain peach curled up like a cat, hugged her to the bed, touched her rough little face, and tears flowed silently, "You are a good child, but unfortunately not my child......"
