Chapter 18: Aunt He, You Are Seeking Death
"Save my son, save my son!" Zhang Ding shouted with difficulty while running.
The person on his back was his only grandson Zhang Duofu, who was already in a coma.
"Uncle Ding, what happened?" Chai asked with concern.
"He doesn't know what he swallowed and he can't spit it out, wuwu..." Zhang Ding said crying.
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward and pulled the child off Grandpa Ding.
"You, what are you doing? I want to find a doctor for him." Zhang Ding was frightened and hurriedly tried to snatch the child away, but was stopped by Chai.
"Uncle Ding, don't panic. Xiaoxi knows some medical skills. Let her take a look." Chai said.
The villagers passing by couldn't help laughing when they heard what Chai said.
"Aunt He, you think too highly of your daughter. Everyone knows that she's a loser who only knows how to cheat her parents!"
"Isn't it? I heard that she was divorced by the Tao family and came back to cheat her parents' family."
"Tsk tsk tsk! What a sin! How could such a good person like Uncle He give birth to such a money-losing thing!"
Zhang Ding heard the discussion and pushed Chai away.
Gu Xiaoxi was using the Heimlich maneuver to make the child spit out the food.
Seeing the old man pushing her mother away, she shouted, "Mom, stop him!"
Hey hey...
Mrs. Chai trusted her daughter very much and hurried forward to stop the old man.
"Aunt He, you are courting death!"
"What a sin! Mr. Ding only has this one grandson."
"Master Ding, let me help you!"
Then, two aunts came out from the crowd to pull Chai.
Fortunately, Chai did a lot of farm work and was strong enough, otherwise she would have been knocked over by these two aunts.
However, Zhang Ding still walked around to Gu Xiaoxi, and just when he was about to roll up his sleeves to beat him up.
Boom!
A date spurted out of Zhang Duofu's mouth.
"Vomiting, it came out." Zhang Ding looked at Gu Xiaoxi in surprise.
Seeing the food being vomited out, Gu Xiaoxi gently patted the child's back.
Wow……
Zhang Duofu opened his mouth and burst into tears.
Seeing his little grandson crying, Zhang Ding couldn't help wiping away his tears and walked forward to hug his little grandson.
"Wait, let him cry for a while, and then hug him when he calms down." Gu Xiaoxi stopped Mr. Ding.
Hey hey hey…
Zhang Ding obeyed this time.
Zhang Duofu cried for a while, then finally stopped, touched his stomach and said, "Grandpa, I'm hungry!"
"Silly child, even if you are hungry you have to chew your food thoroughly before eating. You scared your grandpa to death." Zhang Ding said as he wiped his tears and the sweat from his forehead.
Seeing that the child was fine, Gu Xiaoxi pulled his mother back.
Chai wanted to say something, but when she saw her daughter shaking her head, she could only walk home with her daughter.
After returning home, Gu Xiaoxi pulled her mother into the kitchen.
Only after entering the kitchen did she take out the twenty kilograms of brown rice from the backpack.
"Mom, where do you want to put this?" She put the brown rice on the ground.
She originally wanted to buy fine grains, but when she thought about how poor the village was, she gave up the idea for the time being.
"You, why did you buy so much?" Chai looked distressed when she saw her daughter spending money, and hurriedly put the food into her backpack.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that her mother was going to take the food into the house. There was only so much food, and she had to hide it. It seemed that the situation was worse than she had imagined.
After leaving the kitchen, she went back to her room, tidied up a bit, and went to the backyard.
In the backyard, Gu An and Gu Nanming were busy repairing the house, while Gu He was playing with the two children in the yard.
Seeing that her uncle and the others were busy, she rolled up her sleeves and went over to help.
At this time, Mrs. Mo heard the noise in the yard and walked to the window to look.
Those gossips didn't come today, and she couldn't go out by herself, for fear that people would think she was well and she would be called to work.
Not only is her body weak now, but most importantly, her soul has traveled through time and space. Why didn't Xiu follow her? Moreover, she has forgotten all her previous abilities. Who knows when she will be able to remember them again?
For example, she couldn't remember any of the methods for preparing those poisons.
So, she can only pretend to be sick now. No, she is indeed sick now. She has many wounds on her body and they have not healed yet. These people cannot cause trouble for the time being.
No, this news must get out.
She paced back and forth anxiously.
In the afternoon, Xue's daughter Dani came back with a backpack.
Dani is eight years old. She usually goes out with other girls of similar age from the same village to pick wild vegetables and collect firewood in the woods at the foot of the mountain.
When Mrs. Mo saw Dani, her eyes lit up and she called out, "Dani!"
Dani put down the backpack and went into her second uncle's room.
After a while, she left the room and walked out of the yard.
After a while, the three gossipy women came over again.
After the three women entered the house, Dani took out the two cents given by her second aunt and ran out happily.
The afternoon passed quickly and the Gu family members returned one after another.
In order to hide some private money, Xue found a place to hide half of the mountain products she found in the mountains today. When she saved up some more, she would secretly take them to the town to sell.
However, just as Xue came back, the gate to the yard was knocked open by a group of people.
"Chai, come out here!"
"Gu He, you are such a jerk! You have money but you don't even give it back to us!"
"That's right, you have enough money to build a house, but you still owe us this little money. That's really unfair."
After the two brothers of the Gu family came back, they also helped in the backyard. At this time, Mrs. Chai did not go to the kitchen to cook.
Hearing the voice, Chai frowned.
"Oh no!" She turned and ran to the front yard.
All the creditors he had sent away yesterday came back, looking ferocious and evil, obviously with ill intentions.
"Chai, we trusted you so much, but you actually dared to lie to us!"
"That's right, if you don't pay us back, we won't leave."
"She just bought some food today. I don't have any food at home, so I can eat here tonight."
"Yes, yes, yes. There's no food to eat. Let's eat here. I won't leave."
Gu Xiaoxi and the three brothers of the Gu family followed. Seeing the men's ferocious looks, Gu Nanming stepped forward and said loudly, "The house is just being renovated, and my uncle helped with it, and he didn't charge any money."
"Do you think we are all fools? Even if Gu An doesn't charge you for the repairs, you still have to pay for those tiles.
It's impossible that the poor old bachelor would have to pay for building a house for you, right? " The villagers obviously didn't believe these words.
Gu An was indeed very poor, at least that was what it seemed on the surface.
Otherwise, he would not live alone in a shabby yard at the foot of the mountain. The shabby yard he lived in had never been repaired, so the villagers naturally would not believe that he could come up with money to buy tiles for Gu He's family.
"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me." Chai said helplessly.
"In that case, don't blame us for being cold-blooded. Winter is coming, and we don't even have a bed or quilt at home. You can use the quilt to pay off the debt first!"
"My pot is broken. When will you have the money to redeem it?"
"We are short of some tiles at home. I'll take them back and use them first."
The creditors acted immediately after speaking.
When Mrs. Mo in the room saw this scene, a smug smile appeared on her lips.
