Zhang Guifen rushed to the county hospital in a hurry, and when she saw that the patient was fine, she finally felt relieved.

After searching for a while but not seeing her son or grandson, she cursed and carried two chickens in a fertilizer bag to the hospital cafeteria:

"Master, can I rent your kitchen? My wife is injured and I want to make some chicken soup for her."

"How much is it per time? I'll send the money to you when my daughter-in-law wakes up."

The cook lady had a formal job, but she looked down on me because she had patches on her pants and dirt on her feet.

When she heard her say that she had to wait for her daughter-in-law to bring money, she brushed the pot with disdain:

"Killing a chicken and borrowing the kitchen is 50 cents a time, pay first and then we'll do the work. If you can't pay, then don't stand here blocking me from pouring hot pot water."

After saying that, he scooped a bucket of hot water and poured it at her feet.

Zhang Guifen was almost splashed with water, and immediately became angry and shouted loudly:

"How dare you say that? I only need a little firewood and water from you, and you ask for 50 cents? How can that little firewood and water be worth half a pound of pork?"

"You still want to pay first and then do the work. Just keep the firewood and water for yourself and eat them like pork. Only people with pig manure in their heads will pay attention to you."

She was angry and prepared to leave and find another solution.

The chef rolled her eyes and sneered:

"Bah! You even ask your daughter-in-law for 50 cents, why are you trying to act so rich in front of me?"

"Hey, I say, you probably don't even dare to fart in front of your daughter-in-law, right? Your son must be a coward too, haha..."

It happened to be dinner time for the medical staff, and the head nurse was surrounded by people and walked into the cafeteria.

The chef aunt is also the mother-in-law of the head nurse Chen Aixiang. When several nurses heard her words, they took the opportunity to cheer Chen Aixiang up.

"Hey, isn't that a coincidence? The big guy who brought the seriously injured woman here today didn't have a penny. He said he had to wait until his wife woke up before he could pay for the medical expenses."

"It's really hilarious. How can she feel proud when her man can't even make a penny outside? Anyway, I won't marry such a wimp."

"If you ask me, the head nurse is the luckiest in the whole hospital. All her family members are regular employees."

Zhang Guifen thought, who else could the seriously injured woman and the big man be other than her own couple?

She strode in front of the group, holding the chicken in her hands and folding them on her waist:

"Who cares about money in other people's families? Why do you have to be a gossip? You can't even marry a wimp like this."

"If you have a foul mouth, you can only be paired with a tough guy who drinks and beats his wife. And a wicked mother-in-law who will hit you with her chopsticks if you pick up an extra vegetable."

"Every day at home there was chaos, screaming and fighting, and we were living in dire straits."

Even Zhang Guifen herself didn't know that these words directly hit the nerves of Chen Aixiang and her husband.

Those idioms accurately summarize their family life.

Chen Aixiang's face turned pale:

"I didn't mention your name, so why would you mind your own business? That cowardly big idiot can't be your son, right?"

"He even washes your daughter-in-law's feet. Is he so filial to you?"

Auntie Wang Honghua, the chef, rushed out holding a long-handled ladle for scooping vegetables:

"Who are you calling foul-mouthed? You country bumpkin, you coward who can't afford a penny, get out of my canteen."

When it comes to quarrels and fights, Zhang Guifen has never been afraid of anyone. She rolled her eyes, frowned and flattened her mouth:

"Oh my, where is your cafeteria? Does your dean know about it? Do the county leaders know about it?"

"Your mouth is filled with stones from a manure pit. When you open your mouth, it looks like a manure pit has exploded, spewing out stinky saliva. What's the difference between eating the food you cook and eating shit?"

When the people eating in the cafeteria heard her words, they couldn't swallow the food in their mouths.

Many people who were queuing for food just turned around and left.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Aixiang:

"Your white skin can't cover up the filth inside you. If you're so nosy, why not take off your skin and go guard the hospital gate? Your dean will surely praise your nice 'woof woof woof' voice."

Chen Aixiang pointed at her nose and asked back:

"You called me a dog?"

She leisurely walked out of the cafeteria carrying the chicken, using one hand to clean her ear, and took the opportunity to nudge Wang Aixiang with her elbow:

"Eh? Why do I seem to hear a dog barking at me? Forget it, it's a waste of time to talk to dogs because they won't understand."

Wang Honghua was at a loss for words, so she imitated her and cursed shit, piss and fart.

The saliva was flying all over the air under the reflection of the setting sun, causing the medical staff who came to the cafeteria to get food to take a detour and stay away.

Zhang Guifen felt good for a while when she was arguing with others, but she started to worry again when she saw the chicken in her hand.

I sighed and returned to the ward, only to find that Luo Qianyu had woken up.

"Ayu, quickly give mom some money and go find a place outside to get the chickens out."

"Mom, when did you come? And you brought a chicken with you, which is so troublesome. I was planning to go back the day after tomorrow."

Luo Qianyu's voice was weak and his face was pale.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Guifen burst into anger:

"Damn you human traffickers! Ten times of execution is not enough. You have caused so much harm to the three of you."

"If I don't come, how will you recover? You are just a bean sprout. If I don't nourish you well, you will wilt."

"How can Ah Chuan take care of people? He took Nian Nian to who knows where. How can he leave you lying here alone?"

"The same goes for the people in this hospital. They all look like they've eaten shit..."

Luo Qianyu touched his nose and asked her about Suisui's situation.

She started talking from the moment she heard the child was missing, and went on to talk about what had just happened in the cafeteria.

Luo Qianyu knew that she was shocked and frightened, and probably couldn't hold it in, so he didn't interrupt her.

But when he heard that she had followed Chen Aixiang and others' words, Luo Qianyu felt uncomfortable and quickly took out the money.

"I should have given you all some money a long time ago, but I was so busy lately that I didn't think about it, and now you're being laughed at."

"Mom, take all the money and pay the hospital bill first. We'll discuss how to arrange the rest. I don't know if this money is enough."

She used to feed the whole family by herself, but suddenly she was entrusted with an important task and she really didn't know how to manage such a large family.

She was almost worried to death holding the crumpled money in her hand. All the dimes and cents added up to just over forty-six yuan.

"That's enough."

Lu Jiuchuan just happened to walk into the ward holding Henian's hand and continued her words:

"The medical bill was less than twenty dollars. Qiu Zheng has already helped pay it. Plus the miscellaneous money he stuffed in the back, the total is twenty-eight dollars and seventy-three cents."

"Oh, I still have a few pieces left."

As he said this, he let go of Henian, took out the remaining money from his pocket and placed it beside the bed.

Luo Qianyu licked his dry lips and thought that this amount of money was worth spending.

But if you want to live a good life, you have to find ways to make money and exploit legal loopholes in speculation.

"Lu Jiuchuan, you should give the thirty back to Director Qiu. We should not be ignorant when others are helping us in times of need."

Zhang Guifen suddenly took all the money and started to count it.

The action was so fast that Lu Jiuchuan didn't understand what she wanted to do. He glanced at Luo Qianyu, frowned and called her:

"mom?"
