Chapter 299 Two consecutive incidents
In the old lady's mind, he was a fool who lacked fighting spirit and was always disloyal.
Ever since Tu Suye came to the city to work as an accountant, the old lady has been finding fault with him and always finding fault with him.
His advice may not be effective.
And Tu Suye’s words might work.
The old grandfather smiled contemptuously behind him and said slowly, "Send the doctor over and have him take a good look. Tell your second brother the truth. Whether he comes back or not is entirely up to you."
Tu Suting's face twisted and he let out a muffled groan.
The old grandfather stared into the deep night, and deep worry gradually gathered in his eyes.
The blunt knife has been cutting the skin for a long time, and the taut string in someone's heart has been worn to the point of being precarious.
When all the chores at home are gradually done, perhaps that critical moment has arrived.
At dawn the next day, Tu Suting endured the pain and resolutely put aside his work in the winery temporarily. He hurried to the county town while it was still early.
In order to gain time, he rode the horse that Tu Subo brought back and galloped all the way.
Along the way, the villagers who were working in the fields early in the morning witnessed this scene and showed expressions of pity.
"Are you rushing to get a doctor for the old lady? I heard there was a quarrel at home yesterday."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Hu family smiled bitterly and responded, "Auntie, please don't mention it again. Yesterday, the old lady of the Tu Su family was frightened by the mule cart driven by my son Hongsheng and fainted on the spot."
"The Tu Su family is a gentle bunch. Even though the old lady was frightened, they just rushed to call a doctor and get some medicine for treatment. They didn't say a single harsh word to Hongsheng. When the two elders in the family learned about this, they felt incredibly guilty and didn't sleep a wink all night, waiting just for today to rush to the Tu Su family to apologize."
Someone nearby witnessed the entire process yesterday and curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Alas, why are you so eager to take the responsibility on yourself?"
"Yesterday, they said that a collision frightened the old lady. But in fact, the mule cart driven by Hongsheng was very far away from the old lady of the Tusu family. That's not the case at all."
"Furthermore, the old lady of the Tusu family is indeed a bit eccentric. All of her children and grandchildren are extremely filial, rushing to serve her tea and water by her bedside, fearing that she would be neglected in the slightest. However, this old lady doesn't seem to appreciate it. She often throws things around the house, gets angry, and has no good face for anyone."
Mrs. Hu couldn't help but lower her voice and muttered, "It's more than just a simple fight."
"Yesterday, I went with Hongsheng to the Tusu family to apologize. The old lady almost threw the medicine bowl directly at Tusubo's mother's face. Fortunately, the Tusu family's grandfather arrived in time, otherwise I really don't know how to clean up the mess."
When others heard this, they couldn't help but gasp in amazement, sighing, "Tu Subo's mother is as gentle as clay, and the sisters-in-law of the Tu Su family are all kind and amiable. How could they have encountered such a rude and unreasonable old woman?"
"That's right. The old lady of the Tu Su family never interacts with the villagers. She always puts on a condescending attitude. When she returns home, she becomes even more extreme and unbearable. Thinking about the kind family members of the Tu Su family, they have to revolve around this difficult old lady. It really makes people feel distressed..."
…
The strange character of the old lady of the Tu Su family spread quietly in the village, and the fact that the Tu Su family changed doctors every day further confirmed the villagers' gossip.
That day, the doctor who came to the house was in a rage. Before he even stepped out of Tu Su's house, he roared angrily: "This is ridiculous!"
"Your son and grandson traveled eighty miles to invite me here, is it just to put up with your unreasonable tantrums?"
"I've been practicing medicine for half my life, and no one has ever questioned my skills. But now you've become a sloppy quack? You're already dying, how many steps away are you from hell?!"
"You are such an unreasonable person, even if you..."
"doctor."
Tu Subo handed over the agreed fee with an apologetic look on his face, and said with a bitter smile: "The old lady's condition is serious, so her words may be a little inappropriate. I hope you will forgive her and don't make a fuss about it."
The doctor was filled with rage but couldn't find an outlet to vent it. Seeing the guilty expressions on the faces of the Tu Su family, he waved his hands in a headache and said, "Forget it."
"Why should I bother with a dying man?" After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.
He brushed off Tu Subo's arm, frowned, and said firmly, "The patient hasn't received treatment yet. I absolutely cannot accept this medical fee."
"If you feel guilty, why not help me find a car to take me home?"
Tu Subo immediately agreed, and Tu Suting, with a smile on his face, bowed and smiled as he escorted the doctor, who had completely fallen out of favor with the old lady, all the way to the village entrance.
After the doctor left, the uncle and nephew met each other's eyes, and there was helplessness in each other's eyes.
Tu Suting rubbed his cheeks anxiously and sighed in frustration, "I've gone to your second uncle three times to ask for help. He was willing to receive me the first two times, but as soon as I mentioned returning home, he immediately became furious and reacted violently, firmly refusing to return!"
The old grandfather was seriously ill in the past, and Tu Suye never returned.
Now the old lady is bedridden, and this relative still has no intention of returning!
Tu Suting was originally dissatisfied with his brother from the same mother. After experiencing these two incidents in a row, he was even more hateful and gnashed his teeth. He almost wanted to draw his sword and fight him to the death.
"This heartless fellow! I've observed that he was meticulously cared for by Min Fei in the county town, but now he's become bloated and has no other desires except to indulge in wine and women!"
Only Tu Suting dared to blurt out such words, while Tu Subo could only listen silently.
After Tu Suting disappeared in the winery with an indignant look on his face, Tu Subo gently lowered his eyelids to hide the complex emotions in his eyes.
Although he knew everything about family affairs, he only knew about them.
No matter whether it was the old lady or Tu Suye, the old grandfather would never let them and Tu Su Minfei get involved in it at all.
At that time, the grandfather revealed the whole matter only to prevent someone from using it to sow discord in the future and to make them be wary of each other. Apart from that, he did not expect them to do anything.
Tu Subo was also unable to determine whether there were any signs of human intervention in the old lady's illness.
However, one thing is certain.
The old lady might not be able to see the first snow of Fangling again... Her condition is so serious that she can't get up.
The Tu Su family has always had a good reputation in the village. In the past, when the old grandfather was bedridden, many villagers came to visit him. Now that the old lady has fallen ill, there is also an endless stream of villagers who come to visit after hearing the news.
However, after the visit, the villagers left Tu Su's house and expressed a distinct polarization in their words.
The villagers who witnessed the old lady being difficult to care for and unreasonable during her illness spread the rumor that the old lady had become mentally ill and had completely lost her mind.
The Tu Su family has done their best, but the old lady's behavior is really unbelievable.
The old lady was conscious for very few moments. Whenever she was conscious, she was extremely resistant to taking medicine. She would even use all her weak strength to throw anything she could get her hands on at people entering the room. Today, she almost hit Yu on the head.
