Hu Xiaoyi was just washing his face when he saw Hu Lin come into the room and said, "Hurry up and wash your face. I'll take you to the infirmary."
Hu Lin took a look at the water that had changed color after Hu Xiaoyi had just used it, and the old and faded towel, and walked away with inner resistance.
"I haven't eaten yet."
"You'll have your mother deliver it to you then."
"If you don't have time to go to work, you can ask mom to take me to the clinic. Doesn't she not have to go to work?"
In Jianya's memory, Li Aihua did not go to work and was busy with housework at home every day.
Hu Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment when he heard Hu Lin mention it, as if he just remembered that Li Aihua could also do this, "Okay, then let your mother take you there."
Outside the house, Sun Fangfen shouted, "It's time to eat." Hu Xiaoyi walked towards the living room, and Hu Lin followed slowly behind him.
At the children's table, she was the only one who had an extra bowl of egg custard, and the three children from Room 4 all felt envious when they saw it.
The eldest brother was fourteen, the second brother was twelve, and the third sister was ten. Although they were jealous, they did not cause any trouble.
It can be seen that the fourth family has done a good job in educating their children.
The eldest son of the second wife was 20 years old, and the youngest was 28 years old. As they were old, they turned a blind eye to her eating egg custard.
At the adults' table, Hu Xiaoyi asked Li Aihua to take her to the health room.
After dinner, the adults in the family went to work, and the children went to the village to take a ox cart to go to school in the county.
After the others left, Li Aihua washed the dishes and then carried Hu Lin to the health room.
On the way, Hu Lin asked Li Aihua to put him down and walk by himself, but Li Aihua refused and insisted on carrying her to the health room and handing her over to Doctor Zhao.
The Hu family lives in the middle section of Xiaohe Village, neither close nor far from the village clinic, about fifteen minutes' walk away.
Li Aihua carried her all the way here. Not only was her face pale, but she was also breathing heavily, and there was a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.
She estimated that she weighed only about 30 kilograms, which shows how poor Li Aihua's health is.
No wonder the Hu family didn't let her go to work. With her health condition, she might die of exhaustion working in the fields.
Doctor Zhao gave her an anti-inflammatory drip again today.
"When are you going to the county?" She had caught a fever after being exposed to the wind for a while last night, and she was eager to take care of her body.
"the day after tomorrow."
"Not tomorrow? Will your medicine work? Will my wound get worse?"
Her fragile body and backward medical care made her a little worried.
Doctor Zhao was changing the dressing on the back of her head and explained, "The wound is healing well and there is no infection at the moment."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I need a reason to go to the county."
"I got a fever after being exposed to the wind for a while last night. My health is very poor and I need to be treated urgently."
"Don't worry, I'm here, you won't die." Doctor Zhao packed up the gauze and iodine, "When your wound is almost healed, I'll prescribe Chinese medicine for you to regulate your body."
"By the way, how much do you know about my parents?"
"Why, you want to hear gossip about your parents?"
"It's not that I have nothing to do, I just want to find some small talk to kill time."
Naturally, she couldn't let Dr. Zhao know her true purpose. She and Dr. Zhao only formed a temporary alliance.
"I do know something. What do you want to know?" Dr. Zhao sat behind his desk with a casual attitude.
"Just tell me what you know." Hu Lin stood up and leaned against the wall. His butt was sore from sitting on the long wooden bench in the clinic for so long.
"Then let's talk about your father first. His case is not that complicated."
Hu Lin nodded in agreement.
"Your father had a wife before, but she died during childbirth, and the child was stillborn. Because of this, the Hu family and your father's ex-wife's family had a falling out, and the two families became enemies from then on. Your father has been single for six years since then."
"Your mother is your father's second wife and gave birth to you. That's why your father is the eldest, but you are the youngest in this generation."
"Can you please stop talking nonsense?" How could she not know these things? She is not stupid.
"Isn't that what chatting is all about?"
"Or are you asking about something?" Doctor Zhao felt something was wrong when he heard Hu Lin was curious about his parents' past.
If she was really curious, she could just ask her own parents instead of asking him, an outsider, what she was doing.
"I just want you to respect my intelligence. Things like this that can be seen with the eyes can be ignored." Hu Lin said without revealing a word.
"Then let's continue."
Hu Lin nodded perfunctorily, looking like he was listening to gossip but didn't like it. He was just bored and had no choice.
Doctor Zhao dispelled his doubts and said, "Your mother is also a second marriage. I heard that her previous husband's family treated her very badly. They beat her every day and aborted several children."
"Don't my mother's family care?"
If you abort several children, it would be strange if your health remains good over the years.
"I sold her there in the first place, why would I care?"
“This is illegal.”
“It’s just that the bride price is a bit high, so it doesn’t count, that’s what everyone says.
At that time, it was said that because Li Aihua was beautiful and fertile, many people wanted to marry her, so her family came to the highest bidder to get her, so later everyone said that her family was selling their daughter. "
Hu Lin: "..."
Li Aihua's family members are really bad.
"Then her ex-husband must be crazy. He spent so much money to marry her, but why does he beat her every day? Can't he live a good life?"
"I heard that the Li family often asked Li Aihua's husband's family for help. Later, her husband's family fell out with the Li family, so they probably took out their anger on Li Aihua."
Great! The Li family is awesome! They just ruined their daughter's good life.
What kind of weird things are this Li family doing?
"Then how did you get divorced?"
"When the neighbors saw Li Aihua was beaten to the point of being on her last gasp, they went to the village chief. The village chief was a relative of Li Aihua's husband and was afraid that he had beaten her to death, so he decided to divorce them.
Li Aihua was sent back to her parents' home, and her family soon arranged a blind date for her.
Everyone knew the character of the Li family. Besides, Li Aihua had been tortured beyond recognition and could no longer work, so naturally no one was willing to marry her.
Finally, the Hu family wanted to find someone who could give birth, and somehow they fell in love with your mother, and then the two of them got married."
"No more?"
"Ah, what I know is all gossip that everyone knows. What else do you want to know?"
“Why did they become like this?”
This means that Li Aihua was indeed unable to conceive after giving birth to her. It must be that she had injured her uterus before and became infertile after giving birth to her.
"Maybe it's because you're not a boy." Doctor Zhao looked at Hu Lin with some pity, "From what I know, the Hu family and your father both want a boy.
When your mom was pregnant, your grandma took her to see doctors everywhere, asking if it was a boy, and I was one of them.
"Don't you think your name sounds like a boy's?"
"Then your grandma heard from someone that it must be a boy, so she gave him this name."
