The team leader was still in the county town, dealing with the affairs of Widow He and Xu Neng, so the village chief called the accountant and the village party secretary over to share this troublesome matter.
Almost everyone was trying to persuade Mrs. He to send her son to the hospital as soon as possible. No one knew when Meng Zhiqing would come back. If she kept waiting like this, wouldn’t she be just waiting to die?
Mrs. He ignored her and said stubbornly, "I'm just waiting here for that Meng Zhiqing to come. If my son dies, it's her fault. It's her fault for not coming back quickly to see my son."
Li Qingqing blushed and scolded Mrs. He, "You old woman, how can you be so unreasonable? You didn't send your son to the hospital and let him die here. What does this have to do with Meng Zhiyu?"
Li Tingman looked at the dodging old woman and said word by word, "You can wait here to kill your son. Meng Zhiyu has nothing to do with her. She's just an educated youth sent to the countryside like us. She's not your brigade's village doctor, nor is she a doctor at any hospital. She has no responsibility or obligation to wait here to save your son's life."
Mu Ziwei said, "That's right. Not only can you not get your hands on Meng Zhiyu, but we can actually sue you for intentionally delaying your son's life. This constitutes premeditated murder, and you're going to be thrown into the dark room."
Mrs. He didn't seem worried at all. She pouted at them and said, "I said it was that damn girl who killed my son. She was the one who killed him."
The village chief didn't expect her to be so shameless. Even if she was sent to the hospital in time after being bitten by a poisonous snake, she might not survive. Wasting time here would only lead to death. This was Meng Zhiqing who was determined to rely on their team.
Thinking of this, the village chief suppressed his anger and looked at the Sunflower Team Leader, "What do you say?"
Although Meng Zhiyu was an educated youth from outside the village, he was considered a member of their brigade. He was so shameless in front of the village chief, which showed that he did not take their brigade and him, the village chief, seriously.
The Sunflower Team Leader tried to appease the angry village chief and gestured to He San's wife, "He San's wife, take your husband to the hospital immediately."
Since arriving, He San's wife had been standing next to He San, lying on the rags, with her head bowed. When she heard the captain calling her, she raised her head, glanced at her mother-in-law, who was sitting on the ground crying with her face covered, and gritted her teeth, "Okay."
He San's wife bent down and said to Mrs. He, "Mom, let's take the child's father to the hospital first. It will be too late if we are late."
Although it was clearly well-intentioned, Mrs. He felt that her daughter-in-law was going against her and embarrassing herself in front of so many people.
Thinking of this, she turned around and spat in her daughter-in-law's face, "Why, my son is not dead yet, but you think you have grown wings and can bully me, your mother-in-law, right?"
He San's wife screamed, wiped her face with her clothes, and shouted while suppressing her nausea, "Mom, what are you going to do? What could be more important than your son's life?"
He San's wife really didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking. Meng Zhiqing hadn't offended her, so why would she risk her own son's life to cause trouble for him?
Mrs. Zhao watched the fun and said, "Mrs. He, you can't do this. Your daughter-in-law is already riding on your neck."
The cow mother knew that the black woman had no good intentions, so she pushed her aside with her shoulder and said, "You keep talking with that stinky mouth all day long. Aren't you afraid that someone will cut off your tongue one day?"
Mother Zhou was worried and ran to the village chief, whispering, "Village chief, we can't let this go on. If someone really dies in our brigade, we won't be able to explain it no matter how many mouths we have."
Meng Zhiyu was afraid that this shameless old woman would also blame her. No matter how right she was, she had lost a son. Even if Meng Zhiyu was not wrong, there would be many people who would criticize her.
The village chief naturally understood what Zhou's mother understood. "Captain, take everyone in your team and leave immediately. If you can't even take care of your team's affairs, then I will help you go to the county town and replace you with a capable captain."
Before, he had considered each other's face, but seeing him standing there, no matter what the consequences would be, he simply ignored it and gave the final warning.
The captain didn't expect the village chief to be so hostile. With a green face, he said to the men, "Let's go, carry He San to the hospital."
Several men had wanted to leave a long time ago. They came to help save people, not to watch them die. They quickly lifted the corners of the rags and complained in their hearts that even if the unfortunate He San died, they would still go to find his mother.
Mrs. He jumped up and stopped him from leaving. He felt that his legs had lost all feeling on the stretcher. He felt that he might die and was very scared.
Seeing that his mother didn't care about him and was trying to stop him from going to the hospital to save his life, he asked sadly, "Mom, do you really want your son to die?"
