Chapter 207 Thank you for using the urine bucket!
"Are you serious?" Su Shengxue looked at Su Mei uncertainly.
Su Mei nodded slightly: "Of course."
Hearing this answer, Su Shengxue immediately laughed: "Okay, I will beat this kid so hard that his father won't even recognize him. Next time if something like this happens, remember to call me."
"......." Su Mei was speechless for a moment. What kind of good thing was this?
Although Qiuqiu was awake for a while, she is not completely out of danger yet.
She was awake for only a few minutes and said a few words in a daze, then she fell asleep again in Li Shufen's arms.
Judging from the situation, Su Mei couldn't leave. She had to stay at the Huo's house for at least one night to prevent Qiuqiu from having a fever at night.
So she said to her brothers:
"Brothers, there's nothing to do here at the Huo family. You go back first. I'll stay here for another night. I'll go back tomorrow after I'm sure Qiuqiu's condition is stable."
"Can you handle this alone?" The eldest brother Su Shengtang frowned worriedly. He had already seen what a dangerous place the Huo family was.
No wonder my sister would rather go to the frontier, such a hard place, to join the army than stay in her husband's house.
The Huo family is not a place for human beings to stay.
Even under normal circumstances, Su Shengtang would not be willing to keep Su Mei, let alone now that Su Mei's ankle was so seriously injured.
Su Mei naturally knew her elder brother's worries, but she really couldn't leave at the moment:
"It's okay. My feet still hurt, but I can use a stick to move a few steps. As long as I don't walk long distances, I won't be afraid.
The sun sets and it is almost dark. I am going to take a nap. The night will pass quickly. I will ask Brother Wu to pick me up tomorrow morning.
Su Shengtang wanted Su Shengxue to stay and take care of Su Mei, but Su Mei refused. The Huo family did not have any extra rooms, and if he stayed, he would not even have a place to sleep.
There is really no need for that.
Seeing Su Mei's insistence, Su Shengtang had no choice but to give up. He called a few other brothers, explained the matter to Su Mei, and then left the Huo family.
After the brothers left, Su Mei returned to her and Huo Jianguo's room.
Not long after she returned to her room, she heard some banging sounds coming from the Huo family's kitchen. She wondered who was cooking.
When it was time for dinner, Huo Fugui came over and called Su Mei to eat. It seemed that apart from Huo Fugui, no one else would be willing to call Su Mei.
They didn't want to come and shout, and Su Mei didn't want to sit at the same table with those disgusting people, so she refused Huo Fugui:
"Dad, go eat. I'm not hungry. I don't need to eat dinner!"
Hearing Su Mei's answer, Huo Fugui outside the door responded and turned away.
But soon he came to the door again and said to Su Mei:
"I'll get a stool and put the food at the door of your room. You can take the stick and slowly get off the bed to carry it into the room to eat."
After saying this, Huo Fugui left Su Mei's room again.
Although Su Mei felt that it didn't matter whether she ate the meal or not, Huo Fugui had already brought it to the door, and she felt embarrassed to just leave the meal there.
So after Huo Fugui left, she got out of bed, took a stick, opened the door, and found a glass of water and a lunch box on the stool.
She took the lunch box and water cup back to the room.
The lunch box contained a few sweet potatoes and some vegetables.
These foods may seem a bit tasteless to others, but for Su Mei, who has been working hard to lose weight, they are just right.
Thinking about losing weight, Su Mei couldn't help but sigh. She hasn't seen much success in losing weight recently.
The main reason was that Huo Jianguo was always feeding her, which often caused her to eat beyond the limit.
Why did she think of Huo Jianguo again? Su Mei slapped her forehead. She didn't know what happened that day, but Huo Jianguo's face always kept flashing in front of her with a smile on his face.
She shook her head, shook Huo Jianguo out of her mind, and then started to prepare dinner.
After dinner, Su Mei lay on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling in a daze.
Later, Su Mei forgot how she fell asleep. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she touched her side in a daze and said in the dark:
"Jianguo, go turn on the light. I need to relieve myself. Get up and accompany me!"
In a daze, Su Mei's hand touched the empty bed for several seconds before she suddenly woke up. She looked at her hand, and for a moment, a sour feeling of loss lingered in her heart.
The memory came back like a movie to those nights when Huo Jianguo accompanied her to the toilet.
No matter how tired he was during the day, as long as she got up at night, he would get up to turn on the light for her, and then wait for her outside the toilet.
She was originally a little afraid of the desolate and dark nights at the frontier, but when she thought of him, her heart would be filled with contentment and security.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. She opened her eyes alone in the darkness and suddenly realized that the place in her heart had become empty without her knowing when.
It turned out that he had already squeezed into her heart without her realizing it, and became an irreplaceable part of her.
When she realized this, Su Mei let out a long sigh in the darkness.
Reason tells her that she should not suffer for so-called love, but the human heart is too complicated and sometimes cannot be controlled by reason.
Although Su Mei was afraid, she couldn't let a living person be suffocated to death by urine. Even though she was timid, she still crawled up in the dark, took out a box of matches from the drawer beside the bed, lit the matches, and then lit the candles on the cabinet.
After lighting the candles, Su Mei looked at the time on her hand. It was already four o'clock in the morning. It was almost dawn, and Qiuqiu was fine. It seemed that Qiuqiu had survived the crisis.
It seems that the hundred-year-old ginseng is really effective. If it were Qiuqiu's body from a year ago, there would be no way she would be able to come back from the brink of death.
After lighting the candle, Su Mei got out of bed, holding the candle in one hand and holding the wooden stick in the other, and walked towards the door...
As soon as Su Mei opened the door a crack, a cold wind blew in from outside and blew out the candle in Su Mei's hand.
Looking at the dark yard, although she could barely see everything, Su Mei still didn't have the courage to step out of the room.
Just as she was about to turn around and light the candles again, she suddenly heard the door of Li Shufen and Huo Jianjun's room opposite her being opened with a creaking sound.
Huo Jianjun then sneaked out of the house. He looked around, ran a few steps stealthily towards the gate of the yard, and slipped out.
It's only four o'clock in the morning. He refuses to go to sleep. Where is he going in such a sneaky way?
Before Su Mei could think about it, Huo Jianjun had already quietly come from the outside and closed the yard door.
With doubt in her mind, Su Mei closed the door again.
In the end, she still didn't have the courage to go to the toilet by herself, which was too dirty to even step into. She returned to her room and looked at the corner of the room.
I silently thanked the original owner in my heart.
Thank you for your habit of using the urine bucket.
