The villagers' frightened voices reached everyone's ears from a distance.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunhai immediately stood up and wanted to see who was speaking.
But it was very dark and he couldn't see where the person who was talking was at all.
"Who is talking? Go find Doctor Zhang to check it out!" Su Yunhai shouted anxiously.
The villager ran over breathlessly holding the child in his arms, and knelt down in front of Su Yunhai, begging anxiously.
"Su Xiucai, please save my child! Wuuuu, I can't wake him up no matter what I do!" The man cried inconsolably.
Only then did Su Yunhai recognize the person. It was Liu Baoquan, a father who was less than 30 years old.
They were a family that signed a contract to sell themselves to the Su family.
"Have you seen Doctor Zhang?" Su Yunhai looked at the girl in the man's arms. Her cheeks were red and it was obvious that she had a high fever.
Su Yunhai reached out and touched the girl's forehead, and it was indeed hot.
...
...
"The child has such a high fever, why did you just tell me now?"
Doctor Zhang had already rushed over and immediately took the child's pulse and examined his body.
Liu Baoquan was still crying and explaining the reason.
"I was on the road all day and didn't pay any attention to my child at home. My wife just told me that the child fainted just now!"
"My wife didn't give my daughter much water to drink these past two days. She saved the water and food from my daughter and gave it to my son to drink. That's why my daughter fainted."
Su Yunhai became furious when he heard this.
The people around couldn't help but frown and disagree after hearing this.
"What? Is it because the water and food I distributed to you were not enough that you treat your own children so harshly?" Su Yunhai roared at Liu Baoquan mercilessly.
Shen Yuehua was also very angry when she heard this.
The Su family is responsible for providing meals for the villagers who have signed indentures with them.
She made sure every meal was cooked well and that there was enough water for everyone's daily consumption, so that the villagers would never be left to work on an empty stomach.
She never expected that such a thing would happen in the team. It was her oversight.
"I'll settle the score with you later! Doctor Zhang, how is the child?" Shen Yuehua asked quickly.
Doctor Zhang's face was solemn. "The child is severely malnourished. It seems that he hasn't eaten well in the past few days. In addition, the temperature has been rising day by day. The child has suffered from severe heatstroke and his internal organs have been severely damaged. We must lower his body temperature first."
Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua both came from the modern world, and they immediately understood the seriousness of the girl's illness when they heard it.
Shen Yuehua immediately gave Su Yunhai a look, suggesting that he should quickly go to his daughter to ask for medicine.
She quickly went to the car to get water.
She touched it with her hand and found that the water in the bucket was warm, at least around 35 degrees.
This temperature is a bit high.
She was a little anxious.
It was obvious that the child's condition was very serious. If his organs were damaged for a long time and not treated in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
Liu Baoquan didn't expect the child's condition to be so serious and he now regrets it deeply.
He slapped his wife hard in the face, knocking her to the ground with blood oozing from her mouth.
"You damn bitch, are you satisfied now? After all, you gave birth to Daya with great effort, how could you torture her like this!"
Liu Baoquan's wife didn't expect things to be so serious.
This is how she treats the girls at home, so isn't it okay?
Who knew that this time Daya would be so hungry after just two meals?
"Wuwuwu, Boss, I just want to save some food for your son! What have I done wrong?"
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Liu Baoquan kicked her hard again and cursed: "You love your son so much, why don't you save your own food and water for your son! Why do you deprive my daughter of her food to help your son? You bitch!"
Liu Baoquan's wife didn't expect her husband to say such words, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
"Liu Baoquan, how could you do this to me! Isn't that how you treated these girls at home before? Why didn't you usually take care of them? Now you're pretending to be a loving father!"
"Why should I save food rations? My son is yours. You can save money by yourself in the future. I don't care!" Liu Baoquan's wife got up from the ground and ran away crying.
Just as Shen Shuli was about to take her friends to the nearby mountains to get some game for her family, she was called back by her father.
I happened to hear this couple arguing and blaming each other, and I felt quite complicated.
She prepared emergency medicine for treating heat stroke in advance, and secretly avoided sight, replacing the water in the bucket prepared by Shen Yuehua with stored water in the space warehouse with a lower temperature.
Shen Yuehua quickly put the girl into a bucket to cool her down, and fed her medicine with spiritual spring water.
Doctor Zhang had used up very few herbs and could not even put together a complete prescription.
I could only mix the medicine I had and boil it for the child to drink.
After struggling for quarter of an hour, the girl's temperature finally dropped.
The blush on her face had faded and she had regained consciousness.
Shen Yuehua felt a little sad when she saw the girl who was so thin that she was just a bag of bones.
To be honest, all the villagers who signed the indenture contract were members of her Su family.
These children are naturally hers too.
It was her lack of consideration that caused the child to be tortured into this state.
She personally fed Liu Daya medicine and porridge.
Perhaps because the medicine was effective and the spiritual spring water took effect quickly, Liu Daya recovered faster than expected.
Shen Yuehua did not ask the child's parents to take him back immediately. She planned to take care of the child herself for two days to observe the subsequent situation.
However, Su Yunhai was not going to let the couple go.
He watched his wife unable to sleep all night as she blamed herself for the girl's incident, and he wished he could kill all those who were confused.
"Liu Baoquan, Baoquan's wife, from today on, your food rations will be reduced by half. Daya and Erya are left to our care. We don't need you to take care of them in the future. It is enough for you to take care of your two sons." Su Yunhai said coldly.
Liu Baoquan and his wife did not expect Su Yunhai to make such a decision.
Liu Baoquan's wife immediately refused to accept this and shouted, "No, Daya and Erya are our children. Why are you taking my daughters away? I don't agree!"
Liu Baoquan also couldn't accept this result. He looked at Su Yunhai with dissatisfaction and immediately refuted.
"Su Xiucai, although we signed a contract to sell ourselves to you, it is clearly written in the contract that you cannot separate our family. How can you go back on your word?"
Su Yunhai didn't want to get entangled with them any more, and said in a tough manner: "I only give you two choices, either do as I said just now.
"Or, you can find a way to pay the ransom money and leave the team immediately."
Liu Baoquan and his wife were dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that Su Xiucai, who is always easy to talk to, would be so heartless.
How can they get the money to redeem themselves?
Why would they sell themselves if they had that much money?
