Chapter 161 I'm not a doctor!
After finishing lunch at the small shop and resting for a while, Li Mengxin received a call from home saying that her aunt had come over with her child, but it seemed that they had some conflict and left in a huff.
Li Mengxin lost all interest in minding the shop, so she closed it and rode her bike home.
Just as she stepped out of the street, she heard a commotion ahead. After riding for a while, she saw police cars and ambulances at the corner. Judging from the situation, there must have been a car accident. The road was completely blocked. Li Mengxin turned onto a side road.
When I got home, I didn't see my aunt and the others. Everyone was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air.
Li Mengxin asked in confusion, "What conflict happened? How did it happen? Was anyone injured?"
What if a conflict arises between the elderly and young children in the family, and you can't win the fight?
Gu Shu, who was already feeling sleepy after traveling back in the sweltering heat, immediately perked up upon hearing his aunt's words.
She sat up from the recliner and raised her voice, "Auntie! You have no idea how outrageous they were! They came here just to get A-Yin's notebook, and that's not all. They even said A-Yin's notebook was trash and that giving it to her was for our own good! They even threatened A-Yin that if she didn't give the county interview, that would be fine. But the worst part was that the old lady directly told us that A-Yin was impolite and ill-mannered, not like a young lady from a wealthy family, not graceful and poised! She was insulting A-Yin in every word! And A-Yin didn't say anything to them. They were so unreasonable! I had just come back and heard this as soon as I entered the yard, and I got so angry that I started arguing with them."
Towards the end, Gu Shu became a little embarrassed. No matter how outrageous the person was, she was still her aunt's aunt, and it seemed inappropriate for him to insult an elder.
Li Mengxin looked at her daughter and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not sad or upset.
She sat down, drank a glass of water, and then smiled at Gu Shu: "Ah Shu did a great job. I wasn't here, but if I were, I would have thrown tea in their faces! What kind of people are they! I haven't eaten a single grain of rice from them, nor drunk a single drop of water from them. What right do they have to scold my daughter! If you see them again, just treat them like strangers!"
Gu Shu immediately nodded: "That's right!"
Gu Qingming gently slapped him on the back. He really is someone who thrives on a little kindness!
Seeing that everything was alright, the old lady smiled and got up: "We'll have chicken and duck tonight. Ah Le, go soak some wood ear mushrooms, and I'll give you two chicken legs for dinner!"
Gu Le quickly stood up and ran to get the wood ear mushrooms.
Is anyone home?
"I'm here, what's up, old village chief!" Gu Qingming called out.
The old village chief parked his bicycle outside, walked in with a frown, and relaxed when he saw Li Mengxin was there.
"It's so great that Mengxin is there too! Here's what happened, I just came back from town and saw a car accident at the intersection. I was worried that someone from our village might have been hit, so I went over to check it out. I found an old lady sitting by the roadside who looks a lot like your aunt!"
Li Mengxin asked in surprise, "Is it the place around the bend? I just saw it too, but I didn't notice it. Is everyone alright? But village chief, how do you know my aunt?"
The village chief sat down, took a breath, and nodded: "I heard from the people around that the pickup truck driver braked in time, so no one was seriously injured! Your aunt was in the passenger seat and hit her forehead. The driver broke his hand and seems to have injured his ribs as well. The child in the back had a swollen face. The pickup truck driver was fine. It seems that your aunt and her family didn't look at the car or slow down when turning. The pickup truck driver said that the other party accelerated when turning, and he only slowed down after seeing that, otherwise it would have been more serious!"
"As for why I know your aunt, I saw her a few times when your mother first married the old principal, and I also saw her a few times at the school. She hasn't changed much, so I recognized her!"
The people in the courtyard looked at each other. Gu Shuhao wanted to say that it was karma, but seeing his father's eyes, he kept his mouth shut.
Li Mengxin nodded: "It's good that everyone is alright."
The old village chief was taken aback. He looked at this person, then at that person, and finally looked at Li Mengxin: "...You're injured!"
Li Mengxin nodded: "You just said that, I know, it's just a minor injury."
The old village chief scratched his head: "Aren't you going to go and take a look?"
Li Mengxin suddenly realized: "Just let the doctor see them, why should I go? I'm not a doctor, will they get better right away if I go?"
The old village chief: "..." That makes a lot of sense, but that's not what he meant!
Fearing that the old village chief might pull out those few stubborn hairs on his head, the old lady quickly smiled and said, "Going there now won't help, and might even cause trouble. Let's go in a couple of days, once they've calmed down! Don't worry, old village chief!"
Seeing that someone finally understood what he meant, the old village chief quickly nodded: "That's fine! You all go ahead with your work, I'll go home now!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left the Gu family.
After the old village chief left, the old lady looked at Li Mengxin with amusement: "You've confused the old village chief! But you really have to go and see, since it was a car accident in our town. If you don't go, and other people in the village find out, they'll not only say you're impolite, but they'll also talk about Ayin and Ale. Ayin is going to a good school, and we don't know if it will have any impact. We still have to put on a show!"
Li Mengxin understood the reasoning; she was just angry, not at the old village chief, but at her aunt and the others.
"I know, Mom. I'll go directly from the street to check it out tomorrow at noon." After saying that, she got up to go to the kitchen to help, and then she saw the milk next to the stool.
Li Mengxin and Li Xiang bought all the milk for the family. They spent a long time looking before finally deciding to buy the brand they had at home, so that their children would get more nutrition.
The milk in front of me is neither plain nor milk; it's fruit juice, fruit juice with additives.
"Who bought this? This stuff isn't healthy to drink, you shouldn't drink too much of it. Don't we have milk at home? Why buy this?" Li Mengxin looked at her three older children. She knew they had a sweet tooth, and she wasn't forbidding them from eating these things, but they should eat and drink them in moderation. Buying a whole case like this was a bad habit.
Gu Yin shook her head: "We didn't buy it, my aunt brought it over."
Li Mengxin rolled her eyes and bent down to pick up the case of drinks: "I'll take this to them tomorrow as a gift, so don't touch it."
"That's so stingy, my goodness!" Li Mengxin shook her head and took the things back into the house.
