Zhao Youfu never thought that his elder brother felt that the 10 yuan he gave him every month was not enough and that he had to pay the 30 yuan medical expenses himself. He was so angry that his hands were shaking. He gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Youcai:

"Brother, this isn't appropriate. Mom has been taking care of you for over forty years, which is half the time she took care of me. You should at least take two-thirds of the time."

Seeing that the two were arguing over such a small matter, Director Zhou simply told Zhao Youfu that the matter must be resolved today and not let the hospital find the factory again tomorrow, and then he left in a hurry.

Seeing Director Zhou leave, Zhao Youfu immediately turned hostile. He didn't even want to pay a third of the cost: "I already pay 10 yuan every month, so you should pay for the entire medical bill."

Zhao Youcai touched the only thirty yuan left in his pocket. He had to use the money for food and drink for himself and Shulan, so he couldn't give it away.

"Anyway, you were the one who ended up sending Mom to the hospital, so you have to pay the thirty dollars."

"The doctor also said there were two wounds, and the other one was caused by a bump at your house."

"Then my mother knocked it out herself, what does it have to do with me?"

…

Finally, under the mediation of Secretary Wang, Zhao Youfu paid 18 yuan out of the 30 yuan, and Zhao Youcai paid 12 yuan.

Aunt Qian and Niu Chunhua chatted as if no one was around: "It turns out that when men quarrel, they are just like women, they both care about every little thing."

Niu Chunhua glanced at Zhao Youcai and said, "Of course. Even so, there are still some men who think their wives are too picky."

"Every time you say, 'That's my brother, that's my mother, can you please stop being so petty?' But when it's your turn, you'll argue with your brother over a little bit of your own mother's money until your face turns red."

She wanted to vent her anger for her good sister and return all the words Zhao Youcai had said to Ma Xiulan.

Zhao Youcai strode away with a dark face. He said something, and the two women were able to say a few words. In addition, Secretary Wang would also help the two women. After he left, Niu Chunhua first rode a bicycle to send Secretary Wang back, and then picked up Aunt Qian who was halfway.

When she passed by Zhao Youcai, she rang the doorbell: "Make way."

She rode on Zhao Youcai in a twisted and crooked manner, forcing Zhao Youcai to dodge several times in embarrassment. He wanted to pick up passing stones and throw them at Niu Chunhua, but considering Secretary Wang, he endured it.

Secretary Wang: "Sister Niu, you have a personal grudge against him."

Niu Chunhua told Secretary Wang about the disgusting things Zhao Youcai had done, and finally asked him to protect her in case Zhao Youcai retaliated against her.

She also stuffed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies into Secretary Wang's pocket, leaving her with no candies left.

Secretary Wang was sent back and given candy again. For the first time, he felt the people's hearts. He immediately said:

"Sister Niu, if you are bullied, feel free to come to me anytime. I will also visit the compound at any time."

Niu Chunhua smiled and said, "Thank you, big sister."

She returned halfway, picked up Aunt Qian again and took her home, then rode her bike to take Xiulan back.

-No. 8, Longyang Street-

Ma Xiu Lan knew that Niu Chunhua would definitely come over later to tell her the latest situation, so she prepared dinner early so that she could keep her for dinner.

She kneaded the dough, rolled out the dough, and prepared two kinds of fillings, one with zucchini and eggs, and the other with pork and mushrooms.

The dumplings were quickly wrapped, and at this time Zhao Xingguo and the other two also came back together.

"Why are you so early today?"

"A friend of the teacher came over and gave us some questions to do at home."

Zhao Xingguo said worriedly, "But I felt like someone was following us all the way."

Ma Xiulan asked hurriedly, "Are you all okay? Did you bring the pepper spray?"

"Don't worry, the three of us won't act alone because we're afraid that we won't be assigned to the same examination room and will be left alone." Zhao Xingguo was a little worried.

"When the time comes, your uncle, your aunt Niu and I will escort one person each." Ma Xiu Lan had already thought of this in advance.

"Xiu Lan, I'm here." Niu Chunhua's voice just happened to sound at the door.

When Ma Xiulan told Niu Chunhua that she needed her to take the college entrance examination, Niu Chunhua immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Aunt Niu will take care of it. I will bring a machete with me and make sure that those monsters will not show up."

Several children said in unison: "Thank you, Aunt Niu."

"What are you thanking me for? Just be nice to your mother."

Ma Xiu Lan quickly took Niu Chunhua to the kitchen to sit. The kitchen was warm. Niu Chunhua entered the kitchen and began to tell what happened later. Zhao Xingmin and the others didn't want to leave after listening to her.

Seeing that the dumplings were ready soon, Ma Xiulan did not rush the children to study.

As soon as the dumplings came out of the pot, Ma Xiulan asked Zhao Xingguo to send two bowls to Gu Xiangze first. Then she added some shredded radish.

Soon after, Zhao Xingguo came back, and several people sat together, eating dumplings and chatting.

Niu Chunhua sighed: "This is a good life. You don't know how bored I was after you left. I wish I could be your neighbor again."

Ma Xiulan laughed: "Maybe we can be neighbors." After things settle down for a while, she will take Niu Chunhua to earn money together and buy a house together.

Niu Chunhua didn't take it seriously. After chatting for a while, she saw that it was getting dark and decided to go home.

After Ma Xiu Lan sent her off by bicycle, she returned home and saw Zhao Xingguo, Xingmin and An An were all waiting for her, and the kitchen had been cleaned up.

"What's wrong."

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Zhou Anan spoke directly: "Mom, are you speculating?"

Zhao Xingguo testified: "We heard noises in the kitchen at night, and you often left before dawn. The jars of chili sauce at home were all empty. And you bought so many chilies and beef to make sauce that we couldn't even finish them all."
