Chapter 115 Commonly known as dog crawl
Wu Weimin glanced outside the door and his heart tightened. There were more people than he expected.
He has always attached great importance to face. This is not a glorious thing that will make him famous, and it will never be good if the impact is too big.
For a moment he regretted not coming out sooner.
He ignored my mother and took the initiative to walk to Qiu Qiu and asked softly, "What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"
Qiu Qiu didn't look up, and even hunched her shoulders even more. From Lu Youyou's perspective, her unfamiliarity with Wu Weimin was not like that of a daughter towards her father.
Since the child didn't speak, Wu Weimin's "fatherly love" had no place to go. He held Qiu's hand tightly, but in front of everyone, he could do nothing but smile.
Old Lady Wu couldn't stand this, so she pulled Qiu Qiu and shook him several times: "You dumb girl, are you dumb? Didn't you hear what your father asked you?"
Wu Weimin added: "Mom, Qiu is injured, it's normal that she doesn't want to talk, don't talk about her."
"Hey, mom will listen to you and won't say anything more."
Lu Youyou felt so disgusted. She was forced to watch such an eye-damaging show so early in the morning. She felt bad for the whole day.
Gu Qingye didn't even look at Old Lady Wu, but looked at Wu Weimin with a serious expression.
"Comrade Wu, you were scratched by a reef in the fall, and the wound was soaked in seawater. You should be very clear about the possible consequences. Your mother is unwilling to seek medical treatment. I hope you can do a good job of persuading your family."
Wu Weimin's face gradually turned darker. What did this mean? It was as if he was deliberately stopping people from seeing the doctor.
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that? What do you mean I don't want to see a doctor? I have to go to the hospital for a cut. Who has so much free time? You care about her so much, why don't you take her with you? Who are you trying to please with your fake kindness?"
Old Mrs. Wu would not leave her son alone and helpless, so she scolded Gu Qingye.
She was not afraid of Captain Niu Si Zhange. No matter how powerful he was, he could not control her. And Mr. Gu could not remove Wu Weimin from his post. What did she have to worry about?
Gu Qingye didn't move at all, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless cold pond.
Wu Weimin knew that he had to go to the infirmary today, but he felt uncomfortable being suppressed by Gu Qingye.
Lu Youyou looked at the faces of the Wu family and her patience was exhausted. Qiu Qiu was about to give up. None of her parents cared about their child.
The wound in autumn was simply bandaged with a handkerchief. Although the tetanus shot can be injected within 24 hours, the sooner the better.
Lu Youyou took two steps forward and said, "You two need us to take Qiu Tian to see a doctor, right? Of course we can. But I just learned today that collateral relatives in high positions can ignore children. I'll learn from this."
Wu Weimin's eyelids twitched as he looked at this extremely beautiful face. This woman not only looked prickly, but also spoke in a prickly way.
Gu Qingye alone was enough to make him upset, and his wife was no pushover either.
Wu Weimin's teeth were almost broken, and he squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "No need."
"No."
A female voice came from the yard, and Wang Manzhi came out of the house, holding her belly. Her face looked no different from the first time Lu Youyou saw her, still so haggard and pale.
For the first time, Wu Weimin showed a worried look on his face. He didn't know if it was directed at his stomach or at the person: "Why did you get up? If you feel uncomfortable, just lie down. I'm here."
Wang Manzhi looked at Qiu Qiu. If Lu Youyou hadn't had sharp eyes, she might not have noticed the hint of pity in her eyes.
Pity? Not quite.
Lu Youyou really couldn't see through this strange woman. She couldn't sense how much she cared about Qiu Qiu, but the pity in her eyes was not fake. At least it was more genuine than that of Wu Weimin and Old Lady Wu.
Old Mrs. Wu curled her lips and glared at her daughter-in-law. She couldn't stand her son's "concern for her well-being" and she kept silent entirely for the sake of her precious grandson.
Wang Manzhi's belly this time is exactly the same as when she was pregnant, it must be a boy. Even if Wu Baozhu, the second child, gives birth in the future, it will be a child of the Cao family, how can it compare to a proper grandson with the surname Wu.
So what if the second child is the eldest, the inheritance of the old Wu family still depends on her children and grandchildren.
After Wang Manzhi came out, Qiu Qiu, who had been very quiet, finally couldn't bear it anymore. She broke free from the hands of her sisters-in-law and limped towards her mother.
She had only run a few steps when two arms appeared in front of her. Wu Weimin and Old Lady Wu blocked her way almost at the same time.
Old Lady Wu even hit her on the back twice: "You naughty girl, if you hit your stomach, I will beat you up."
Wang Manzhi's emotions flashed away, and she turned to look at Wu Weimin, with the same cold expression even when talking to her husband.
"Can you take Autumn to the infirmary? If you're not available, I'll go, but I have to work today and won't be able to take her back."
Wu Weimin values the continuation of the family line as much as Old Lady Wu. Since Wang Manzhi said so, he could only agree and ignore Lu Youyou's thorny point.
"You go back and rest. I'll go."
Wang Manzhi glanced at him and turned to go in. Qiu Qiu's call of "Mom" only made her pause for a second.
Wu Weimin glanced at Gu Qingye, Lu Youyou, and the group of overly enthusiastic neighbors at the door with a forced smile.
"Thank you all for your concern for my daughter. I'm fine now. Please go back."
Lu Youyou ignored Wu Weimin's pretense and bent down beside Qiu Tian to carefully instruct him: "You need to get a tetanus shot when you go to the hospital. Don't let the wound get wet. It's best to rest in bed."
Qiu Qiu looked at this aunt who was so kind to her, nodded silently, and felt like crying again. Only then did the last very gentle reminder reach her ears.
"If there's no one at home to change your medicine, come and find your aunt."
Lu Youyou and Gu Qingye left, and the others also said their goodbyes. They had seen enough of the excitement in this morning.
Lu Youyou only felt tired after returning home. It wasn't hard to catch seafood, but she felt really tired after climbing back and forth on the rocks.
The ground was wet and slippery, and she couldn't find a foothold. She was not familiar with the terrain, and Xiao Huihui led the flashlight ahead. She basically crawled on her stomach for the last section of the way, commonly known as dog crawling.
It’s the same posture as chasing the wind, but it’s much worse than chasing the wind.
Her palms were aching and her thighs were aching. She lazily leaned on the armrest of the sofa, worrying about the pile of seafood.
Her bucket should be the fullest. After all, others can only work hard to get enough food and clothing, but she has five or six pairs of eyes and a dozen hands. When children get serious, their fighting power cannot be underestimated.
"Will you come back for dinner tonight?" Lu Youyou asked.
If she still eats alone, she can only eat seafood three times a day. She doesn't know how to make complicated dishes, so she can just blanch or steam them and dip them in soy sauce.
Gu Qingye smiled and said, "I can come back, but it might be a little late."
Lu Youyou nodded and prepared to add some salt water to raise the seafood.
Although she is not a fisherman, she knows a little about things related to animals, such as 8g of salt mixed with 500ml of water. As for how long they can survive, the conditions are limited and she can only go with the flow.
