Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Mr. Tang was like an ant on a hot pan. In this situation, he must not let it get him involved!
Soon the old housekeeper called a doctor over. The old doctor looked at the man lying in a pool of blood and squatted down to take his pulse without caring about his image. The pulse was soft and weak, as if he had no life.
The old doctor took out a silver needle from his medicine box and used it to stop the bleeding. He then took out a piece of ginseng and stuffed it into the old man's mouth. He stood up and said to the two men, "Forgive my limited ability. I can only keep him alive for now. The old man is determined to die. You should take him back quickly!"
After hearing what the old doctor said, Li Wenjian felt confused. He prayed to the old doctor helplessly, hoping that the old doctor could save his father.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers could not help but advise: "Young man, don't delay. You also saw that your father's head has such a big hole. Unless Hua Tuo is still alive..."
At this time, the bailiff who had returned to the county government office to report came here in a hurry with his men. Upon seeing this, Mr. Tang immediately went to meet him. He swear to God that he had done nothing!
Li Erlang, who was busy in the county government office, felt a pang of worry when he heard that an old man in mourning had been killed in Xiuyun Cloth Shop. He hurriedly called Zhao Da and rushed over with the officers.
Li Erlang saw Li Youshou lying in a pool of blood. He ignored his injured leg and limped forward and asked anxiously, "What happened? Did someone force you?"
Mr. Tang, who was standing by, was afraid that he would be implicated, so he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's not me..."
Li Wenjian saw Li Erlang and felt like he had found a lifeline. He grabbed Li Erlang's hand tightly and said, "Wenzhi, save my father. Please save my father!"
Now was not the time to find out the reason, so Li Erlang hurriedly had Li Youshou moved to a donkey cart, intending to send him to Doctor Zhou for a checkup.
The group hurried to Xingren Hall.
After Dr. Zhou examined the patient, he shook his head helplessly: "The head injury is too severe. Go back as long as you can!"
Li Wenjian collapsed to the ground after hearing this. His father had just come out with him for a while, and now he was gone. How would he explain to his younger brother and sister-in-law when he returned?
Seeing this, Patriarch Li made the decision and said, "Let's go back!"
Because there were still matters waiting for him at the county government office, Li Erlang asked Zhao Da to take the group back to Lijia Village.
The villagers who got the news were even more shocked!
Aunt Chen had just passed away, and the old man was about to pass away. What a disaster it was for a family!
General Zhao pulled the donkey cart to the door of Li Wenjian's house, and clan leader Li immediately arranged for people to carry Li Youshou back home.
When the three sons saw their father being carried back covered in blood, they frantically asked their eldest brother what had happened.
Patriarch Li shouted, "Don't embarrass your eldest brother. He saw your father hit his head against the pillar with his own eyes, and he must be feeling no better than you. The most important thing right now is to make sure your father is properly taken care of!"
The four sons ignored their sadness and wiped the blood off their father's body and changed him into clean clothes. About half a quarter of an hour later, the old man passed away.
Looking at the four heartbroken people, Clan Leader Li felt extremely regretful: "If I hadn't brought your father to the city today, I wouldn't have met your aunt, and today's incident wouldn't have happened!"
Li Wenjian said dejectedly, "Clan leader, this matter is not your fault. Dad has always been resentful about Mom's death, and today's slanderous words from my aunt were the last straw that broke his heart!"
The others then understood the whole story and felt grief and indignation in their hearts!
The villagers came to help spontaneously. They were shocked to see Li Youshou's pale face due to excessive blood loss and the bowl-sized hole on his head.
Chen Dalang learned from the villagers what happened in the city today. He angrily scolded his wife for a long time, then rushed to Lijia Village with his men. However, he was stopped outside by the villagers: "Youshou was killed by you, a woman, and you still dare to come!"
The old woman shrank her shoulders and said in a weak voice, "He wanted to die himself, so please don't frame me!"
Aunt Chen's death was a huge blow to Li Youshou. The old woman's words this morning added fuel to the fire and were the last straw that broke the camel's back!
At this time, Li Wenjian walked out of the house and said with a sad expression: "You guys go away, from now on we will be strangers! Don't contact each other anymore!" After that, he walked into the house without looking back.
He could not forgive his aunt who forced his father to death, and he didn't know how to face them, so he decided to never have any contact with them again!
Looking at his nephew who didn't even turn back, Chen Dalang couldn't help but sigh and had to go home first.
In the evening, when Li Yan came back after helping out, she saw Zhao Da's donkey cart parked in front of the door.
After Li Erlang got off the bus and stood still, he said to Zhao Dadao: "You've worked hard today, go home soon!" Then he walked into the house!
Li Yan trotted forward and wanted to support her father.
Li Erlang waved his hand in refusal: "No, I'm much better now!"
The father and daughter walked into the main hall and sat down. Li Yan asked curiously, "Dad, has the county magistrate found a way to resettle the people?"
Li Erlang nodded. "Many villages were affected by this snowstorm, and County Magistrate Zheng really couldn't spare much space to relocate them. So he came up with an idea: let the people live with their neighbors and relatives, and the county government will give these families some compensation!"
Li Yan: "So this money comes from the Tang family's master?"
"That's right! The county magistrate has now summoned the chiefs of all the affected clans to register and properly resettle the homeless people as soon as possible!" said Li Erlang.
Li Yan thought to herself, "This is the only way now!"
