Wang Zhaozhao, who was over four years old, felt very unwell. His whole body felt soft and his feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.
She instinctively wanted to get some fresh air, but when she reached the gate, she felt so exhausted that she sat down on the threshold.
"Girl Zhao, what are you doing sitting there? Girl, you need to be more diligent. Come here and wash the vegetables." Shi Haiyan came out of the kitchen and saw Wang Zhaozhao leaning on the threshold of the yard. She shouted with a look of annoyance on her face.
Wang Zhaozhao ignored her. Although she was only four years old, she understood some things. The more her third aunt ignored her, the more excited she became.
Shi Haiyan drew a bucket of water from the well, threw a handful of wild spinach on the ground, and shouted to Wang Zhaozhao, "Come and wash the vegetables quickly. You're keeping me from cooking. Your grandparents won't have anything to eat when they get home from work. Be careful or your grandma will beat you."
Wang Zhaozhao turned his head and looked back, his head confused as he said, "Aunt Si, it's your turn to cook today. If you're late, grandma will just beat you."
Shi Haiyan: “……!”
Girl, you're just a money-loser!
She came over angrily, grabbed Wang Zhaozhao and gave him a hard shake.
Wang Zhaozhao only felt like a rag being slapped, his consciousness was shaken, and he fainted.
As soon as Shi Haiyan let go, she fell to the ground with a bang.
“……!”
Shi Haiyan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Wang Zhaozhao's abnormally red face, especially her small lips.
"hiss!"
She checked the temperature on her forehead and gasped in fear. She quickly picked up the child from the ground and brushed the dust off her body.
But we can’t let people know that she was the one who knocked the man unconscious and threw him to the ground.
Feeling that the little body in her arms was like a burning charcoal, Shi Haiyan instinctively wanted to rush out to find the barefoot doctor in the brigade clinic.
But, that will cost money, right?
What if the mother-in-law is unwilling to pay... can the good second sister-in-law pay for it? By then, it will be a complicated lawsuit, and won't the money be blamed on her?
After hesitating for only a second, Shi Haiyan chose to carry the person back and stuffed him back onto the broken wooden bed in the second bedroom. After turning around and leaving, she continued to cook.
It's her turn to come back and cook today. If the meal is late, her mother-in-law will turn her face away and scold her.
As for Wang Zhaozhao...
"I don't know. I haven't seen her since I came back."
When dinner was about to start, Wang Zhaozhao was nowhere to be seen. When Xie Ailian asked casually about it, Shi Haiyan answered like this.
She even pretended to ask her eldest son, "Baojia, didn't you go out to play with your sister Zhao this morning?"
"No, my name is Sister Zhao, and she said she doesn't want to go out to play..." Wang Baojia shook his head.
Chen Meiru curled her lips, "Don't worry about her. She can't even catch up on meals. She deserves it if she's starved!"
Shi Haiyan glanced at her and thought, she is indeed a girl, even her own mother doesn't like her.
However, she felt guilty, and her eyes flashed, "Baojia, your sister Zhao said she didn't want to go out to play. She didn't look unwell at the time, did she? What kid doesn't like to go out and play?"
"I don't know." Wang Baojia sniffed and sucked back the snot.
Xie Ailian frowned, glared at Chen Meiru unhappily, and went to the second room cursing.
I looked at the bedroom first, but it wasn’t there.
Then go to the covered room next to it, which is supported by wood and surrounded by bamboo mats.
"Second brother, come quickly!"
Wang Zhaozhao was curled up on the broken wooden bed, looking like a cooked shrimp, red and red. It was obvious that he had a high fever without even having to try.
The people who were waiting for dinner in the main house heard the noise and came out, just in time to see Xie Ailian carrying Wang Zhaozhao out of the second house's veiled room.
Shi Haiyan, who fell behind, felt guilty and shouted exaggeratedly, "Hey, what's going on?"
"Second sister-in-law, is your little girl Zhao feeling unwell? You didn't mention it this morning, so we didn't know. Looking at the little girl like this, I'm afraid she's delirious with fever. I don't know how long she's been unconscious."
She turned her head and pointed at Chen Meiru who was also lagging behind.
Chen Meiru: How would I know? Damn you!
Over there, Wang Erbing had already taken the person from Xie Ailian.
The mother and son took Wang Zhaozhao and ran to the brigade's clinic, with the brothers Wen and Wu and Wang Baojia following behind.
Shi Haiyan, "Then... let's eat first? We still have to work in the afternoon."
Wang Sanbing glared at her and asked, "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"
Shi Haiyan: Then why aren’t you eating? Are you just waiting here?
She caught a glimpse of Chen Meiru and was shocked. "Second sister-in-law, don't you want to go over and take a look? Zhao girl is your daughter."
Chen Meiru glared at her angrily, thinking, I'm not a doctor, what's the point of following her?
Considering that his father-in-law Wang Dahai was there, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
She dragged her feet as she went to the brigade's clinic. When she arrived, Wang Erbing had already borrowed an ox cart from the brigade and was ready to take her to the commune clinic.
Seeing Wang Zhaozhao like that, the barefoot doctor in the village didn't dare to touch the patient and asked them to send him to the commune's health center immediately.
At the health center, they gave injections and saline drips, but it was of no use. In the end, they were just told vaguely to take the patient back... or to try sending him to a big hospital in the city.
How could they afford to try it in the big hospitals in the city? They could only bring it back to the village.
During dinner, Shi Haiyan, who usually talks a lot, didn't dare to say a word and had a quiet meal.
When it got dark, Xie Ailian prepared a few eggs, put two dollars in her pocket, and went out in the dark.
She couldn't afford to go to a big hospital, but she couldn't bring herself to just bring the patient back and wait for him to die.
In most villages, there is always such a person who can see things clearly, but because of the campaign to destroy the four olds, everyone has become humble and behaved like a good person.
Although everyone has behaved themselves, there are still some people in the village who have nowhere else to turn to, and they will turn there for help.
