Jiang Jiuyue didn't know about the twists and turns in the village head's house. After leaving the village head's house, she was ready to go back.
When passing by the big tree at the entrance of the village, Jiang Jiuyue heard the old lady in the village talking about Chuntao's family.
"Hey, have you heard? Old man Xu seems to be paralyzed in bed and can't move. He can't even go to the toilet by himself. He has to rely on others to serve him!"
"Why haven't I heard about it? I heard that Old Man Xu was pissed off by his boss!"
"Ah? What's going on? Why is he so angry at his boss that he is paralyzed?"
Jiang Jiuyue also showed interest. Was Old Man Xu so angry at Xu Yongfu that he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed?
She had good hearing, so there was no need to get too close. She could just stand in an inconspicuous place and listen carefully.
"Hey, you don't know, isn't the son of the eldest Xu going to get married? After his family split up, they didn't have enough money to build a new house, so Old Man Xu asked his grandson to use the house where the second eldest Xu lived as his new house. The eldest and second eldest Xu were not happy about it, and they were arguing for many days!"
One of the aunts spoke with great excitement and was very thorough in the details, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"Later, Boss Xu said that even if the family had no money, he had to marry his son off. That was the Xu family's treasure. He forced Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu to take out their savings and insisted on building a new house!"
"The old couple probably don't have much money for their coffins, so they can't take it out. The elders said, 'You two old men will rely on us to take care of you in the future. You don't even do anything for your grandson. Do you still expect us to take care of you in the future?"
"The elder brother of the family is still saying that it was you two old fools who offended the second brother and his wife. Now they are making money in the city, and any money they make can build several large tiled houses for our family!"
"This made Old Man Xu so angry that he felt very uncomfortable at the time. He collapsed after falling down. I'm afraid this is what happened afterwards!"
The aunties nearby were amazed when they heard this. She really lived next door to them, she understood all the details clearly!
Jiang Jiuyue was also very impressed. This gossip ability was indeed strong. He could even hear their conversation clearly and repeat it verbatim. It would be a pity not to gather intelligence.
Then a few aunts started to discuss the gossip about Old Xu's family. Jiang Jiuyue was not interested in listening and just walked away.
However, she wanted to tell Chuntao about this news.
After returning to the county town, Jiang Jiuyue went to 깊 Chuntao's home and told her the news.
"What? His father is paralyzed?"
Chuntao was shocked. Old man Xu was in good health, so how could he suddenly become paralyzed?
"Thanks to his good son, he was so angry that he ended up lying in bed waiting to die."
At this time, if a person has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed in bed, he is almost ready to die.
Living in the countryside is not well off, and no one has the time to devote themselves to taking care of a paralyzed patient every day. In addition, there is no guarantee of medical care, and it is said that Old Man Xu's life is about to begin the countdown.
Although Chuntao couldn't stand the behavior of Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu, he was Xu Yonggui's uncle and adoptive father after all. Since he was paralyzed in bed, Xu Yonggui had to do his part to help.
"Your eldest uncle and his family are trying every way to get money from you to help his son get married."
Jiang Jiuyue knew that Chuntao and Xu Yonggui would not really ignore Old Man Xu. After all, when the family was divided, they had agreed that if Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu were sick, they would have the obligation to contribute money and effort.
However, judging by how shameless Xu Yongfu was, if Chuntao asked Xu Yonggui to pay, it would probably not be used by old man Xu at all, and all of it would be used by Xu Yongfu and his wife to build a new house for their son.
Chuntao was also very worried about this problem. Xu Yonggui had made Old Man Xu so angry because of the money. If they took the money back, Xu Yonggui would definitely be in trouble.
But it was impossible for them to keep an eye on the Xu family all the time, and it was even more impossible for them to bring old man Xu to the city.
Jiang Jiuyue thought about it and gave her an idea.
"The charity hall in the county will probably be completed soon. When the time comes, you can take some time to go back to the village and tell them that you want to send Old Man Xu to the charity hall. You and Xu Yongfu can pay together to have Old Man Xu well cared for there. It will also be convenient for him to see a doctor and so on."
The magistrate bought a dilapidated and uninhabited mansion and renovated it. The progress is much faster than building a new one. It is estimated that the magistrate will be completed in more than half a month.
Chuntao also thought this was a good idea. It would be convenient for Old Man Xu to live in the charity house and see a doctor, and she wouldn't have to worry about Xu Yongfu and his wife taking the money and not doing the job, and mistreating Old Man Xu, and then blaming them for it.
However, before Chuntao and his wife returned to the countryside, Xu Yongfu and his wife had already found their home in the county town.
That day, Chuntao was just about to go out to buy groceries. When she opened the door, she saw the faces of Xu Yongfu and his wife.
Chuntao was frightened by them and subconsciously tried to close the door, but the couple quickly took the opportunity to squeeze in.
"Oh, Chuntao, you guys live in a really nice place, it shows that this place is very developed!"
In fact, Chuntao lived in a very ordinary courtyard, which was considered a relatively poor house in the county town. But Xu Yongfu and his wife felt that the houses in the county town were good, all made of bricks and tiles, much better than those in their village!
Moreover, they had no concept of renting a house. They only knew that the house they lived in was their own, and they thought it belonged to Chuntao and her family, and they were extremely envious.
"No, brother and sister-in-law, this courtyard has the cheapest rent. It's not easy to work in Yonggui, so we dare not spend so much money."
As soon as Chuntao finished speaking, Ge Yinmei immediately said, "How is it possible? Yonggui is not promising now, can he make money in a month? Poor his father is lying at home, with no money for treatment. We two have no ability to make money, we are really miserable!"
As she spoke, she pretended to wipe away her tears, looking very worried about her father-in-law's illness.
Xu Yongfu also spoke up at this time, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying that even though we've divided the family, we're still a family. Dad is sick, so you should at least give him some money, right?"
Chun Tao took a deep breath and said, "Of course, Dad is sick, and I, Yonggui, can't just watch and do nothing."
Xu Yongfu and Ge Yinmei both smiled, and the greed in their eyes could not be concealed.
"Chun Tao, Dad is seriously ill now. Can you take out ten taels of silver first? It's important to treat Dad!"
Ge Yinmei was not polite at all. She started with ten taels of silver, as if it were ten cents.
Chun Tao shook her head and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I can ask Yonggui to pay, but we have discussed and want to send Dad to live in the charity hall in the county, so that it will be more convenient for Dad to see a doctor."
While Xu Yongfu and Ge Yinmei were still not able to respond, Chuntao quickly said, "I've asked, and the medicine fee is only a few dollars a month, so we can each take half."
