"Xiao Yu, what are you thinking about?" On the way back to the educated youth's yard, Li Tingman looked at Meng Zhiyu, who was obviously absent-minded and had already stepped on her twice and was about to step on her for the third time, and couldn't help asking.
Meng Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about Tuwa's mother's illness."
Tuwa suddenly said that he was not Lin's biological son. Meng Zhiyu subconsciously thought that Tuwa was also sold by human traffickers and then bought back by Mrs. Zhao.
Tuwa shook his head and said no, "My mother found me in the hospital restroom. She gave birth to a sister, but she died at birth, so my mother brought me back."
Meng Zhiyu was puzzled. "Will your grandma, Mrs. Zhao agree?"
Mrs. Zhao doesn't look like someone who would be so kind as to raise a child for someone else.
"She doesn't know. My mother said that because everyone looked at her belly, they thought it was a girl. If it wasn't a difficult birth, she wouldn't have sent my mother to the hospital. She spent hundreds of dollars to buy my mother. How could she bear to let my mother die?"
Even if you care about money, she also cares about her reputation. Because of the reputation of favoring boys over girls, forcing her daughter-in-law to death, and not giving her money for medical treatment, no matter how powerful Mrs. Zhao is, she dare not bear such a reputation.
But Mrs. Zhao just sent the person to the hospital, paid the money, and left without even waiting for Lin to enter the operating room. In this way, Lin took Tuwa home.
Meng Zhiyu felt that even if Mrs. Zhao didn't suspect anything at first, she must have become suspicious later. This might be the reason why she abandoned Tuwawa in the county town.
Li Qingqing was worried. Lin's health was so poor! Tuwa was just a child. What should she do in the future? "Zhiyu, can Tuwa's mother's health be cured?"
It's still possible to cure her, but given their family's financial situation, they don't have that much money and time. Lin has to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, so it's impossible for her to rest quietly. "I don't know. Let's see. I'll go to the mountains to pick herbs for her later."
Lin came back from the hospital without any medicine. She had severe lochia and was very weak. If she didn't take some medicine, she would definitely die. She could only do her best to help whoever she could.
As soon as I reached the gate of the educated youth's courtyard, I heard a quarrel inside. "You dare to hit me, you shameless thief, wait and see how I will deal with you."
"What's wrong with hitting you, Zhao Shuanglian? Who do you think you are? You're ordering me around like that. Be careful or I'll report you to the county for your capitalist ways."
"You're talking nonsense. It was obviously you who started it. I just asked you to help with something small. Ask other people, who doesn't help each other?"
When Zhao Shuanglian heard that Zhang Qingwan was going to sue her, she panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down.
There was no one in the entire educated youth compound who didn't hate Zhang Qingwan. If she wanted to report her, she would have to have evidence. Zhang Qingwan had no evidence, but she had many witnesses who witnessed her stealing.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shuanglian became arrogant again, and said even more harsh words, even stretching out her finger to push Zhang Qingwan.
Zhang Qingwan was completely enraged by her. He yelled and rushed towards Zhao Shuanglian, pulling her hair hard.
Zhao Shuanglian screamed, "Ah, you bitch, how dare you hit me, you shameless thief."
The two of them immediately started fighting. He Zhida leaned aside impatiently, looking at the two women who looked like crazy women with disdain, without any intention of stopping them.
Jiang Sisi stood in the corner with her neck shrunk, eating the snacks she had bought from the county town today, and watching the two people fighting with shining eyes.
The only sounds left in the yard were the quarrel between Zhao Shuanglian and Zhang Qingwan, and their heavy breathing.
Zhang Qingwan has been working at home since he was young, and his strength has been trained long ago. Although Zhao Shuanglian has been in the countryside for more than two years, she is still not as strong as Zhang Qingwan.
But Zhao Shuanglian would find opportunities in a fight, and for a while the two sides were evenly matched. In the end, they both stopped because they were tired.
Zhao Shuanglian squatted on the ground panting, looking at the layer of black hair on the ground, and said angrily, "Bitch."
Zhang Qingwan, who was trying to catch his breath, was in high spirits. Seeing Zhao Shuanglian's dirty talk, he kicked her and said, "Fox spirit, who can be as cheap as you?"
Zhao Shuanglian didn't have much strength to begin with, and after being kicked in the leg again, she fell to the ground with a bang.
Zhao Shuanglian was furious. She stood up and pounced on Zhang Qingwan with a ferocious look on her face. The two started fighting again.
Seeing this, Meng Zhiyu and his companions were too lazy to wait for the outcome of the fight and went straight back to the backyard. Just as they put down their things and looked for some water to drink, Zhang Yang came in from the back door carrying a backpack.
"It's a bit inconvenient ahead, I'll take shelter here with you." Zhang Yang took off his straw hat and smiled at them.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew what he was talking about. After all, they had the friendship of eating watermelon together, so no one had any objections. They even poured him some water in a clean bowl.
By the time Meng Zhiyu and his companions were about to go up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs, the front yard had already become quiet, but it was unclear who would win or lose.
Zhang Yang had nothing to do, so when he saw them going up the mountain, he followed them to join in the fun.
When they reached the back mountain, they divided the work: Meng Zhiyu was in charge of finding herbs, while Mu Ziwei and the other boys were in charge of hunting! The two girls, Li Tingman and Li Qingqing, were in charge of finding wild fruits and vegetables to eat.
Zhou Songbai came back from the county town when several people returned down the mountain with a full load. When he got home, he heard his two sisters-in-law discussing Lin, and then he realized that Tuwa had returned.
"Mom, please take this pound of brown sugar to visit Zhao's family." Zhou Songbai thought of Tuwa and took out a bag of brown sugar from his backpack and handed it to Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother didn't answer and gave him a strange look. Zhou Songbai didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. "You and Lin..."
Zhou's mother didn't think that her third son was attracted to Lin. After all, he had always had good taste, and he was not a confused person.
"Tuwa is my younger brother." Seeing the confusion in his mother's eyes, Zhou Songbai explained.
Of course, he considered himself to be the younger brother, but he felt that Tuwa would not be unwilling. Having an older brother to look after him was a good thing for his current situation.
Although she was curious about when her son and Tuwa became brothers, Zhou's mother didn't ask any more questions and took the brown sugar. "We have a lot of vegetables at home, so I'll bring a basket for them both."
One basket is not a small amount. It is enough for two people, one big and one small, to eat for several days.
After packing up, Zhou's mother took her two daughters-in-law and several grandchildren to Zhao's house.
She felt that adults needed care, and children could not be ignored either. After much thought, she felt that only children could open their hearts.
Not to mention that Tuwa is now San'er's younger brother, so he must be taken more seriously. Only when Tuwa is healthy both physically and mentally can he better help San'er with work.
So, on the way, Zhou's mother told her grandchildren, "Gou Wa, you are the oldest. Go to Tu Wa's house! You must take your brothers and play with Tu Wa. Do you hear me?"
Seeing that Gou Wa was somewhat reluctant, he could only tempt him, "If you do a good job, I will ask your uncle to buy you some White Rabbit candies."
When he heard about White Rabbit snacks, Tiewa was the first to nod in agreement, patting his chest and saying loudly, "Grandma, don't worry! I will definitely get it done for you."
