But after the old lady cried out, she seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately pushed aside the women surrounding her. She looked at Wu Lizheng anxiously and said, "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, please tell me, what happened to my daughter?"
Wu Lizheng moved his mouth and said helplessly: "Sister, please take it easy... Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Seeing that the old lady couldn't calm down at all, Wu Lizheng stammered, "I heard that... the Shen family of Qianniu Village is going to be exiled."
"exile?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Brother Wu, Yuehua and the others are just ordinary people who behave themselves. How could they possibly be subjected to such a serious crime as exile? Brother Wu, can you please go and ask the officer for help? No, no, can you take me with you? I'll go and ask the officer myself."
The old lady's face was tanned by the sun and full of wrinkles, which was caused by overwork in her daily life.
But at this moment, it seemed as if there was some force supporting her. She endured the pain, kept moving her body, and looked at Wu Lizheng as if she were looking at a god.
Wu Lizheng was a little surprised.
This old lady Wu is also a legend among the grandmothers in the village.
He is usually a quiet person at home, and he can't make a sound for a long time.
The second and third daughters-in-law were quarreling fiercely, and she didn't even know how to behave to her mother-in-law, so the Wu family was in chaos all day long.
Why are you speaking so logically today?
Never mind, maybe it’s the deep love between mother and daughter.
Wu Lizheng helplessly comforted her, "Big sister, calm down. This is really not something I can control. I heard that the Shen family was implicated by a relative who is an official in the capital."
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Wu's eyes were dull and she was stunned for a moment. A line of turbid tears flowed from her eyes. Her face was pale and she looked like she had lost half her life.
Half a cup of tea later, the old lady finally thought of getting up.
But her old waist was not strong enough, and she gasped in pain, with beads of sweat appearing on her face.
The village head hurriedly sent his son to look for Old Man Wu and Wu Changqing, the eldest son of the Wu family. The old lady's current condition made them worried and they had to see a doctor immediately.
In the Wu family, only the eldest son takes these two elders seriously. The second and third sons can't even order their own parents around.
"My dear, what's wrong with you?"
Old man Wu was digging a reservoir today and was on his way home. When he heard the news, he ran to the headman's house in two or three steps and vaguely saw a thin old lady lying at the door.
On weekdays, his wife is ordered around by his two daughters-in-law. Although Old Man Wu doesn't dare to say it, he still has some complaints in his heart.
But he was not a qualified head of the family, and always thought that everything would be prosperous only when the family was harmonious.
So most of the time we just turn a blind eye.
There are three sons and three daughters-in-law. Except for the eldest son and his daughter-in-law who know how to be considerate to the two elders, the second and third sons treat them as tools.
But what can we do?
They are all his own children. He is old and just hopes that his family can have some peace and that he can just live his life in confusion.
Old Man Wu not only worked hard himself, but also asked his wife not to cause trouble, just hoping that he would not be kicked out of the house by his sons in the future.
But now, seeing his wife lying on the ground unable to move, the old man with gray hair felt a little distressed.
"Brother, please slow down. We need to carry your old lady back home. She might have twisted her waist."
As he spoke, Wu Lizheng asked his son Wu Daqiang to remove a door panel from the gate of his yard.
Old man Wu carefully picked up his wife and placed her on the door panel, and together with Wu Daqiang, he carried the old lady back.
After Liu Meiyu reported the news about her sister-in-law's family to Old Lady Wu, she was busy lying on the corpse.
She was tired after working for half a day, and the old lady had just grabbed her arm hard, leaving a large red patch on her arm. She was very angry.
This old lady actually hit me so hard, it’s really outrageous, I’m going to make her pay later! The woman kept muttering to herself.
But after a while, I heard noise outside the house.
How did my father-in-law and Wu Daqiang carry the old lady back?
Liu Meiyu came out of the house, feeling suspicious. Her mother had just gone to the headman's house, so why was she still lying there crying "ouch"?
Liu Meiyu was a little stunned, and a bad premonition came over her.
"Could it be that the old lady is paralyzed?"
Although her mother and eldest sister-in-law are busy with the housework, her third brother's wife is just as lazy as she is.
The eldest sister-in-law usually couldn't bear to see it anymore, so she felt sorry for my mother and took the initiative to help.
If the old lady can't get up in the future, the Wu family will split up. If they split up, she will have to do all the housework such as cooking, feeding pigs, cutting grass for pigs, washing clothes, etc. by herself.
But if we don't divide the family, and my mother is unable to get up, it will cost a lot of money to treat her, and all the money in the family will be spent.
Thinking of this, Liu Meiyu immediately became unhappy.
He immediately ran to the old lady, held her waist and cried bitterly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Did Wu Lizheng's family bully you?"
Wu Daqiang's eyes widened. It was all empty talk. In just a short while, this woman put the blame on him?
No wonder Old Mrs. Wu couldn't handle this daughter-in-law. She was too good at making random connections.
I don't know how my wife gets along with this woman. When I get back, I will definitely tell her to stay away from this woman.
Wu Daqiang suppressed his anger, frowning as if he was going to crush someone, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your old lady was worried about your sister-in-law. She ran too fast and sprained her waist. How can you blame my family for that?"
Liu Meiyu stammered for a long time, but seeing Wu Daqiang's fierce look, she dared not say another word.
Old Mrs. Wu watched quietly, somewhat confused as to why her second daughter-in-law suddenly became concerned about her.
