The next day, the villagers who helped went back, and only the second uncle and second aunt stayed in the hospital to take care of Zhou Zhenghui and Ouyang Yue'er. At lunchtime, Zhou Zhenghui woke up. The doctor at the hospital sent two bowls of white rice porridge to Ouyang Yue'er and Zhou Zhenghui to eat. After lunch, Zhou Zhenghui insisted on going back to the countryside. Because she knew in her heart that one more day of stay here would cost her more money, and she was penniless now, so how could she take it with her.

At Zhou Zhenghui's insistence, the second uncle and second aunt had to stay with her and go back.

The second aunt helped Zhou Zhenghui outside the hospital, and the second uncle paid in the house. After the doctor finished calculating the medical money, a total of 110 Wen, the second uncle frowned, where can they take out so much money.

The second uncle stood in front of the counter, wiping his waist bag twistedly, and it took a long time to take out 70 Wen. When the doctor saw that there were only 70 texts, he knew in his heart. Instructed the apprentice to only take a packet of medicine to the second uncle, the second uncle nodded helplessly, and walked out of the medical hall with heavy steps.

Ouyang Yue'er saw from a distance that there were originally four packs of medicine, but now there was only one packet of medicine. Ouyang Yue'er can't say anything, the second uncle has done so much for his family, what else can she ask for.

Ouyang Yue'er followed behind the second aunt, and when the second aunt saw the second uncle coming out, she didn't ask much, but just helped Zhou Zhenghui to go home.

The atmosphere was very deserted, no one spoke, only the insects and birds on the trees on both sides kept calling. As soon as she walked out of the town, the second aunt was afraid that Zhou Zhenghui would be tired after walking for too long, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to take a break?" Everyone looked at Zhou Zhenghui. Zhou Zhenghui shook his head and was about to say, "No." ”

Suddenly, a man ran over and saw the medicine in the hand of the second uncle Ouyang Xing, and without saying a word, he grabbed it and ran. At this time, everyone came back to their senses, it was Ouyang Bi. Ouyang Xing grabbed the medicine in Ouyang Bi's hand forward, and yelled at Ouyang Bi, "What are you doing?"

Ouyang must want to shake off Ouyang Xing's hand, Ouyang Xing's strength is greater than Ouyang Bi, Ouyang must not get rid of Ouyang Xing, and scolded angrily: "What do you care about me, forget if this slut dies, and learn how to grab medicine and eat it from rich people, I am afraid that she will die if she eats it!"

Ouyang Xing was also angry and yelled: "Big brother, are you crazy, you can even grab the medicine!"

Ouyang Bi said proudly: "Such a big package of medicine, no matter how bad it is, it is worth three or five yuan, it can make me addicted to a few handfuls of hands, you let go quickly, otherwise I will be unkind to you!"

Ouyang Xing glared and said, "You want such a polite method?"

Ouyang Bi glanced at Ouyang Xing, without saying a word, kicked towards the second aunt Zhang Lan, Ouyang Xing was nervous, let go of his hand, and went to protect the second aunt. Ouyang Bijian let go of his hand, and ran to the town with the medicine bag in his arms. Ouyang Xing watched Ouyang Bi run away, and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Ouyang Yue'er. Ouyang Yue'er said to Ouyang Xing with tears in her eyes: "Second uncle, you let him go, even if you chase the medicine back, he will still snatch it in the end." Just let him take it like this, at least my mother and I will be beaten less. ”

Passers-by saw what was happening and began to point fingers, and those who knew them began to gossip.

Zhou Zhenghui saw other people's discussions, lowered his head in fear, and walked home without saying a word. The second uncle and second aunt could only follow her silently, unable to say a word.

Back in the village, the second uncle and Zhou Zhenghui went home separately. As soon as Ouyang Yue'er returned home, she saw Chen Xiumin sitting at home, waiting for Zhou Zhenghui. Ouyang Yue'er looked at Chen Xiumin in surprise, what is she doing here?

Chen Xiumin glanced at the two people who were injured all over her body with disgust, then stood up, threw a bamboo tube in her hand to Zhou Zhenghui, and said disdainfully: "This is trauma medicine, you can keep it and use it slowly, Zhou Zhenghui, have you finished your bad work, and you will go to work with me when you finish it!"

"Good, good. Zhou Zhenghui hurriedly replied.

"Let's go. Chen Xiumin swaggered out of the house, and Zhou Zhenghui hurriedly followed. Ouyang Yue'er sighed in her heart, she couldn't help her mother with anything, she blamed herself for being too young and couldn't do anything. Ouyang Yue'er also followed.

Chen Xiumin squinted at Ouyang Yue'er, didn't say a word, and continued to walk forward. As soon as he entered the room, Chen Xiumin threw the rag to Zhou Zhenghui, sat on the stool, and said leisurely: "Do it." ”

Zhou Zhenghui took the rag and began to clean the house little by little. Ouyang Yue'er stood aside stupidly, not understanding why Zhou Zhenghui wanted to help Chen Xiumin work.

Zhou Zhenghui neatly wiped the table and stool and began to wash the dishes again. Ouyang Yue'er saw that Zhou Zhenghui was very neat at doing these things, and she knew the things here very well. Ouyang Yue'er knew a little in her heart, it seems that Zhou Zhenghui often does this!

Ouyang Yue'er watched Zhou Zhenghui bear the injuries on her body and finish everything. Her busy figure swirls between the stoves. Until the fragrance of vegetables came into Ouyang Yue'er's nose, grandparents came back from the field, and the sound of walking came into Ouyang Yue'er's ears. Ouyang Yue'er saw Zhou Zhenghui bring the last dish to the table. Stand aside and wait.

Ouyang Yue'er looked at all this blankly like a piece of wood, and the fourth uncle walked past and bumped into Ouyang Yue'er's shoulder, Ouyang Yue'er was completely unconscious.

Zhou Zhenghui saw that everyone sat down and set up the dishes and chopsticks. Serve meals to everyone. The old man didn't look at Ouyang Yue'er, took the bowl in disgust, and ate it.

Zhou Zhenghui took advantage of the fact that everyone was eating, so he boiled water under the dim oil lamp.

Seeing Zhou Zhenghui, a stupid woman, do so many things, Ouyang Yue'er's heart broke into pieces. Ouyang Yue'er's tears kept sliding down her face. watched Zhou Zhenghui finish washing, wash the feet of their family of four, and serve Chen Xiumin to sleep.

Zhou Zhenghui saw that there was some food left on the table, and everyone went to sleep, only the old man was still smoking dry tobacco in the kitchen. Zhou Zhenghui timidly asked the old man: "Dad, there are still some meals left, you let me and the girl eat, okay?"

The old man finished his last puff of dry tobacco, put the pouch aside, stood up, and poured the rest of the table with the rice. Zhou Zhenghui smiled expectantly, raised his hands, and prepared to continue. The old man smiled coldly, turned around and wanted to walk outside the house, and by the way, he also took the cigarette pouch in his hand. Zhou Zhenghui watched in surprise as the old man brought out the food, and it didn't take long for him to come back with an empty bowl.

After Lao Tzu came back, he said to Zhou Zhenghui with disgust: "I won't give you mother and daughter to eat if I throw away the food!" After the old man finished speaking, he blew out the oil lamp and went back to the house to sleep in the dark.

Zhou Zhenghui clenched his teeth and walked outside with Ouyang Yue'er in his arms. Zhou Zhenghui came outside the house and saw the leftovers on the side of the road, and kept in a daze.

Ouyang Yue'er found that Zhou Zhenghui did not leave, but stared at what was under her feet. Ouyang Yue'er squatted down in confusion. Ouyang Yue'er stood for a long time, her feet were numb, and after a while, she squatted down with difficulty. Ouyang Yue'er took advantage of the bright moonlight to see the things on the ground clearly. It turned out to be the leftovers that the old man had thrown out. Ouyang Yue'er touched her empty belly. After thinking about it, he began to grab the leftovers on the ground with his hands and stuff them into his mouth. But the meal was still filled with the old man's cigarette ashes, and the choking taste filled Ouyang Yue'er's mouth. Ouyang Yue'er coughed uncomfortably and spit out all the food she had just eaten in her mouth.

Ouyang Yue'er looked at Zhou Zhenghui with tears in her eyes, and said pitifully: "Mother, there is grandpa's cigarette ash in the rice, I really can't eat it, but I'm so hungry, mother, I'm so hungry!" Ouyang Yue'er wanted to stand up and hug Zhou Zhenghui.

Zhou Zhenghui was in tears, looking at all this, she felt that she was really useless, and even the children accompanied her to suffer. Did you take the girl to the second brother's house to beg for food? The second brother has given himself all his savings to see a doctor for himself, is it not enough that he owes the second brother, and he still wants to go to them? Zhou Zhenghui wants to hug the girl very much, but she feels like a disaster star, she is afraid that she will hold the girl one moment, and the girl will have to suffer with her the next moment. Zhou Zhenghui remembered that her husband wanted to drown the girl at the beginning, so she shouldn't stop her, maybe the girl died, and she could be reincarnated as a rich lady in the next life, and she didn't have to suffer with herself. Zhou Zhenghui burst into tears of pain. At this moment, she really wanted to hold the girl, throw herself into the river, and be a pair of ghost mother and daughter.

"Despicable things, you only deserve to eat these!" the old man's voice sounded at this time. The old man was still angry, and continued: "If you don't want to starve to death, you can eat!" The old man walked over with an oil lamp, spat at the food, and then said: "Eat, eat, cheap things, eat you to death!" After the old man finished speaking, he was still angry, and continued to spit into the food. The old man didn't leave, but looked at Zhou Zhenghui and wanted to watch them eat these things!

Zhou Zhenghui was stunned, and the next moment she shouted: "Dad, why, why are you doing this to me, do you want to force me to death." You forced San Lang to death, and you want to force me and his child to death, why are you so cruel!"

When the old man heard Zhou Zhenghui's words, he angrily picked up the oil lamp in his hand and threw it at Zhou Zhenghui, and scolded in his mouth: "You are a mourning star, you are a broom star, if it is not you, Rong Sanwa will die, who are you worthy of what you have done?"

Zhou Zhenghui dodged the oil lamp smashed by the old man, and said angrily: "Dad, can't you really give me a way to live, do you really want my mother to beg my grandfather?"

When the old man heard Zhou Zhenghui's grandfather, his heart fluttered, and he scolded in fright: "You have already cut off relations with your mother's family, do you think your mother's family will still recognize you, a cheap thing! You guys with no conscience, you can't die well!

Zhou Zhenghui laughed miserably. Is she really a dead star?

Ouyang Yue'er wanted to stand up, but just stood up, because she had been hungry for too long, she felt that her eyes were dark and she fell down.
