If Dad had come a little later, he would have been almost better.
But... Dad seems different than before. It feels so good to be cared for.
I'm not that...delicate.
A moment of silence ensued, as if only in this way could they gain more attention.
Chen Erzhu had little expectation for the muddled Chen Xian; he always believed in striving for everything himself.
Clenching his fists, he looked ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
Chen Xian patiently asked, "San Niu, do you have a headache, stomachache, or leg pain?"
"?"
San Niu nodded blankly, "Huh?"
No, I think you're in pain.
Si Niu, quick-witted, chimed in, "Third Sister, didn't you just say your stomach hurt?"
San Niu: "Ah, yes, yes, umm, it hurts..."
Chen Xian looked at Gou Sheng with a warm smile.
I wasn't very angry just now. After all, there are many unruly people in poor and remote areas, so I can understand.
But this "sir"... I just can't stand it.
Seeing that the drunkard in the village looked unwell, Gou Sheng stammered, "Uncle Chen, adults shouldn't stoop to the level of children."
Why are you even angrier than before? What's wrong?
What's wrong with this old man Chen?
Chen Xian smiled kindly, “Paying back debts and seeking medical treatment for injuries are only right and proper. You pushed San Niu because she had a headache. Doctor Wang in town charges ten coins for a consultation. If it’s a bone injury, it will take three months. The cost of medicine is three coins per day, which is two hundred and seventy coins. In addition, she can’t work because she’s in bed. She’ll miss at least two catties of wild vegetables a day. That’s two coins, which is one hundred and eighty coins. So, the total is four hundred and sixty coins.”
"Fine, I'm always generous, I'll round it down to four hundred coins, here you go."
ah?
Gou Sheng was so frightened by this astonishing number that he couldn't move.
But San Niu looked pained.
My father couldn't even earn ten coins a day, but Old Man Chen could ask for four hundred coins in one go.
The Zhang brothers whispered to each other, "Brother Gou, give it to him. Anyway, you didn't catch this chicken."
"Bullshit! I picked it up."
Then his face fell, and he slammed the chicken to the ground.
"Walk!"
The pheasant was immediately weakened by the disturbance.
I don't know if it was from being scared or from falling.
Chen Xian grinned as he saw Gou Sheng cursing and yelling, "San Niu, what's wrong? Don't scare your dad. Does your head hurt?"
His shout nearly scared Gou Sheng and the others half to death.
Good heavens, I hope something really happened to that girl.
It suddenly ran away as fast as a wild dog.
Chen Dazhu was already numb.
What's wrong with Dad?
Chen Erzhu also had a complicated expression on his face.
How could someone act like they were meeting Chen Xian for the first time?
The two girls stared intently at Chen Xian.
"Dad, you have such a great idea."
The old father, Mr. Chen, felt a sense of lightness and ease in the face of the child's admiration. He calmly waved his hand and said, "Basic operation."
Then, in a fatherly tone, he began to lecture, "Second son, don't act impulsively when things happen, use your brain more."
Chen Xian picked up the wild pheasant and then asked, "Girl, hurry up and find a chicken coop nearby. There might be eggs inside."
The group wandered aimlessly through the bushes and actually found five wild eggs.
