Chapter 30: Cutting off fingers
After hearing what Han Changping said, Xu Huimin didn't say anything, and her eyes turned red as she watched.
"Sister, you think too much. I don't want you to marry a man like this and suffer for your whole life.
But I do want to find someone to cook and clean. If you think it's okay, you can come over tomorrow.
Of course you can consider it. I don't know how much the man can give you as a betrothal gift, but if you work for me, you can definitely get 600 yuan a year."
Seeing a ray of light flashing in Xu Huimin's moist eyes, Han Changping knew that her heart was moved.
"Sister, this is what happened. My house has been taken down, and I have to clean up the yard. If you want to come, just come find me tomorrow."
Han Changping didn't give Xu Huimin a chance to speak, just nodded and left.
"Xiao Si, you're not going to Xu Huimin's house, are you?"
Wang Zhilin looked at Han Changping who had returned, quickly stood up and looked at him with a strange expression.
"Yes, I want her to come and help, and pay her monthly wages."
"She's about to get married. Listen to your brother-in-law and stop meddling in other people's affairs."
Upon hearing this, Han Changping immediately understood the strange expression he had just given him.
"Brother-in-law, are you particularly afraid that she will stay? You wish she could get married tomorrow, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense. What does it have to do with me whether she gets married or not?"
His thoughts were exposed, and Wang Zhilin, with a panicked look in his eyes, quickly picked up the sickle and started working again.
"Oh……"
With a sneer, Han Changping also picked up the shovel.
"I don't care how you treat other women, but if I find out that you treat my second sister badly and make her sad, I will make sure you don't get away with it."
Hearing this, the sickle in Wang Zhilin's hand shook violently, but Han Changping pretended not to see it and went to work.
Han Changping didn't understand why his mother fell in love with this cowardly, selfish man.
After lunch at noon, Han Changping was just about to lie down on the kang for a nap when he heard hurried footsteps outside and someone was running towards his house.
"Uncle, uncle..."
Hearing the voice, he quickly sat up from the kang. The person who came was Zhao Qiang from Wang Lianzhi's family.
The fourth child is the one born to Wang Lianzhi and the current man. He is about thirteen or fourteen years old this year.
"What happened to Xiaoqiang?"
Hearing the shout, Wang Zhilin, who was about to lie down, quickly got up and got off the ground.
"Uncle, something bad has happened. My father's finger was chopped off by the guillotine. You should go and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Han Changping hurriedly got off the ground. Old Man Wang, who was still lying weakly on the kang, also became anxious.
The man was about to get off the ground, but Han Changping pushed him back down.
"You are still sick, just lie down quietly, don't you still have my brother-in-law?"
"well,"
Old Master Wang sighed heavily, shook his head, and lay down again weakly.
As soon as he walked out of the east room, Han Changping saw Wang Zhilin about to run out with Zhao Qiang.
With a few big steps, he pulled Wang Zhilin back from behind.
"Zhao Qiang, your father's finger was chopped off by a guillotine, why are you looking for my second brother-in-law?
He's not a doctor. If you don't find a doctor right away, what's the point of looking for him?"
Zhao Qiang looked at Han Changping very strangely, as if he was looking at an alien.
"My mother said that we don't have enough money to see a doctor."
Haha, with a sneer on his face, Han Changping knew what they were up to.
"Your mother is quite interesting. She knew that your father almost died, but she didn't come to see him.
The man in this family had his fingers chopped off by a guillotine, and she actually thought of my second brother-in-law, haha..."
"Xiao Si, please let me go. I have to go over and take a look."
Seeing Wang Zhilin like this, Han Changping grabbed his hand and almost threw him out the door.
"Okay, then go ahead and act like a big-tailed wolf."
“Ouch…”
Suddenly, Han Yuemei screamed from inside the house.
"Xiao Si, don't stop your second brother-in-law, let him go over and take a look."
"Second sister, what's wrong with you?"
Han Changping ran into the house in a few steps and saw Han Yuemei leaning against the earthen wall with a painful expression on her face. He hurried over to support her.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just twisted my ankle accidentally."
Upon hearing this, Han Changping hurriedly helped his mother to the edge of the kang, bent down to pick up Han Yuemei's feet and took a look. He was immediately frightened and his face turned pale.
"Second sister, why are your legs so swollen? How many days has it been? Why didn't you tell me?"
It's all my fault. I didn't notice her legs were swollen when I was putting shoes on her yesterday. Now both of her feet are swollen.
"Oh, it's okay. Look how scared you are. I was like this when I was pregnant with Xiaoyan. It's normal for pregnant women to have swollen legs."
"Nonsense, this won't work. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow to have your blood, urine, and kidney function tested.
Measure your blood pressure. Don't tell me you have pregnancy-induced hypertension, that would be troublesome."
"Hey, how come you went to the county town and your second sister couldn't understand what you were saying?
It's normal for a pregnant woman's feet to swell up. It'll be fine after giving birth. It's okay, it's okay. Go and rest. Don't you have to work in the afternoon? "
Han Changping naturally listened to his mother and checked it carefully again.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the swelling was only on the instep and ankle.
"Second sister, just lie down well for the next few days. Elevate your feet a little when you sleep. If it doesn't get better, you should go to the hospital for a checkup."
"Okay, I get it, I get it."
He carefully helped Han Yuemei lie down on the kang and used a small cushion to prop her up.
When he turned around and walked out, there was no sign of Wang Zhilin. Angrily, Han Changping rushed out and ran straight to Wang Lianzhi's house in the back street.
He has not been to Wang Lianzhi's house since he woke up, and today he really can't bear it anymore.
Who knew that just as he rushed onto the road and was about to get off, he saw Wang Zhilin running towards the road panting.
Behind him, Wang Lianzhi's sons were supporting their father and walking towards the road.
"Second brother-in-law, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
When Wang Zhilin looked up and saw Han Changping, he rushed towards him with shining eyes.
"Xiao Si, do you have any money? Lend me two hundred. I'll pay you back when I get the money back."
Seeing Wang Lianzhi and her family approaching, Han Changping smiled coldly and said,
"Brother-in-law, why don't they borrow the money themselves? Why do they have to ask you to borrow it?"
"Xiao Si,"
Wang Zhilin was so anxious as if his father was dying.
"The money is a loan from your second brother-in-law. If you have it, just give it to your second brother-in-law right away, okay?"
With a cold smile, Han Changping looked at the ugly people who came over and said,
"I have the money, you can ask them to come and borrow it from me."
When Wang Zhilin was surprised, he saw Wang Lianzhi running towards him from behind.
"Zhilin, why are you still standing here? Where's the money? Did you go home to get it?"
Wang Lianzhi looked as if Wang Zhilin owned a bank and had deposited all her money there, and was now here to withdraw it.
Wang Zhilin was slow, and his impatience in delaying her spending money was also funny, haha...
"Xiao Si, stop making trouble. Can you lend it to your second brother-in-law for emergency use?"
When Wang Lianzhi saw her brother asking a fool to borrow money, she was stunned at first, and then her brows were almost furrowed with embarrassment.
"What's wrong with Zhilin? Why are you asking a fool for your family's money?"
