"Dad and Mom, are you okay?" Brother Su looked at the his two parents worriedly.
"Brother, I'll go get a doctor." Su You looked at his parents faces and was worried, so he said hurriedly.
Brother Su was about to speak when Old Man Su stopped him and waved his hand, "We are fine, no need to call a doctor."
But how could Brother Su agree? The two elders were obviously very angry, and they couldn't let him rest until the doctor saw him.
"Go ahead," he still said to his second brother.
Su You looked at his parents worriedly and ran out quickly.
Old Man Su wanted to stop his second son, but he was so angry before that he felt weak. When he stood up, the man had already run out the door.
"I've told you it's okay, why waste money?" Old Man Su looked at his son unhappily, feeling sorry for the copper coins that were about to be paid out.
"Dad, Mom, how can this be called a waste? Our family will be better if you have good health, right? And it won't cost much just to take a look, so we can rest assured."
How could Brother Su not understand what his father meant? Saving money is better now, but you cannot save money when it comes to your health.
"Okay, you and mom take a break first, I'll take my little sister out."
Brother Su smiled at his parents, then pulled Su Qiaoxiu up from the ground, glanced at the dozens of copper coins on the shelf, frowned tightly, and with a serious expression, he pulled Su Qiaoxiu out of his parents' room.
He quickly pulled Su Qiaoxiu back to her own room, looked at her sternly, and said in an affirmative tone, "You have spent all the money."
"Brother...Brother, you already know everything." Su Qiaoxiu stepped back in fear. Her parents loved her so much, yet they could beat her like this. Her brother was always serious, and she couldn't imagine how he would deal with her.
"Brother, my parents have already beaten me, you...you can't beat me anymore." Su Qiaoxiu cried pitifully while touching the swollen side of her face. She was still in pain.
Brother Su took a step forward and looked at my younger sister in disappointment. How could my younger sister have thought that he would hit her? He wanted to teach his younger sister a lesson, but he had no habit of hitting women, especially since this was the girl he once loved.
"Su Qiaoxiu, you disappoint me so much." After saying that, he walked out of the door without looking back, closed the door tightly and locked it again. The purpose is to let her reflect on herself in the room.
Su Qiaoxiu listened to the sound of the door being locked. She no longer looked pitiful as before and looked at the door with an angry face. They said they loved her, but when her parents beat her, the noise was so loud that she didn't believe that her brother and sisters-in-law couldn't hear it, but no one came in.
The eldest brother said he was disappointed, but she was the one who was disappointed. As for parents, they actually love their sons the most. As long as it involves their sons' interests, they still put their sons first. They say they love her the most, but they are lying to her.
Isn't it just a little money? Compared with his daughter, is money really that important? After returning, he didn't ask her if she suffered on the way or if anyone bullied her. All he cared about was money.
The more she thought about Su Qiaoxiu, the angrier she became. She said it was just a dream and she would prove it. She would prove that everything in her dream was real and it was not just her imagination or conjecture. Su Qiaoxiu touched her aching body and slowly moved to the bed. She wanted to sleep, she wanted to dream, she wanted to prove something to her parents.
On this side, Brother Su quickly invited a doctor, saying that the doctor was actually just a barefoot village doctor, who was incomparable to the doctors in the city. The two brothers invited the doctor into their parents' room. "Doctor Sun, thank you for taking the trouble to come and help our parents."
Doctor Sun nodded without saying anything. He took out the pulse diagnosis tool and took the old man Su's pulse. After a moment, he changed to the other hand.
"It's not a big problem, He just a little anxious, take two doses of medicine and it will be fine."
As he spoke, he began to check Mrs. Su's pulse, but his expression was more serious than before.
"Doctor Sun, is my mother okay?" Doctor Sun's expression was a little solemn, and Su You couldn't help but ask nervously.
"Don't disturb Doctor Sun," Brother Su stopped his second brother.
After a while, Doctor Sun let go of his pulse-taking hand and looked at the brothers with an unpleasant expression, "Didn't I tell you not to make your mother sad? She were just getting better, but it almost went to waste. Fortunately, the pent-up energy in her heart seems to be dissipating, so it's not a big problem. But you may have to take medicine for a few more days."
"It's our fault. Doctor Sun, just prescribe the medicine. We promise not to make our parents angry again." Hearing that the problem was not serious, Brother Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Sun glanced at Su Ren (eldest brother). Su Ren was well-known for his filial piety in their Xiaohe Village. It was obvious to him that the reason was not his.
Alas! Every family has its own problems.
Doctor Sun nodded, picked up the medicine box and left. Su You hurriedly followed him as he wanted to get the medicine.
After sending Doctor Sun back, Brother Su returned to his parents' room, sighed, and said to comfort them, "Dad and Mom, you have heard what the doctor said. From now on, don't think about anything else. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing. As for the rest, we can always find a way to solve it."
After hearing her son's words, Mrs. Su couldn't help wanting to cry again, but when she looked at her son, she forced herself to hold back and nodded quickly. She still had to listen to the doctor. The most important thing was that she wanted to get better quickly, and also go to the town to collect some clothes for washing and earn some money.
Old Man Su nodded, then covered his wife with a quilt and told her to have a good sleep. He then went to the yard and started weaving bamboo baskets and mats. Brother Su silently helped his father weave.
…
Yishan Town.
Village chief Li discussed with everyone in Lijia Village that since Yishan Town had been sealed off, they would leave tomorrow. No one had any objections. There was no point in staying here anymore. It would be better to set off earlier and reach other places as soon as possible. Perhaps the conditions for staying somewhere else would be more relaxed.
After noon, it was made clear that we would leave the next day. Everyone took advantage of this time to try to find as many wild vegetables as possible around. Once they started traveling, they would have no time to look for wild vegetables except for the rest time in the evening.
Gulan did not go. She really didn't want to go after harvesting so many vegetables in the town yesterday. She took her son, Goudan, and Li's two grandsons, Li Sanhe and Li Sihe, to study Thousand Character Classic together.
Gulan was too tired to complain about Uncle Li's naming skills. His sons were arranged in order of age, and although his grandchildren were given names, they were still arranged in order. Although they all belong to the Li family of Lijia Village, there seems to be no family tree arrangement.
Goudan was just there to watch. Sanhe and Sihe were both studying seriously, but his learning progress was a little slower than AnAn. After being taught by Gulan several times, he took a wooden stick and practiced according to the words that Gulan had written on the ground in advance.
Daya and Erya were not with them. The two little girls accompanied Li Jia Ruyi and their mother to pick wild vegetables. Gulan did not stop them. If the two girls were willing to go, they could go. With several sisters-in-law from the Li family accompanying them, there was no need to worry about their safety.
Xiang Yunjin also came out of the carriage after a nap, and sat aside with great interest, watching Gulan teaching. When he was in the mood, he would also play the role of teacher. At this time, several children would sit upright and study. His face is quite lethal. Except for AnAn who might be used to it, the other children dare not even look at it for long.
