Chapter 76: So Stupid

The Zhai family's yard and main hall were all crowded with villagers.

Some people joined in the fun, pointing fingers and blaming Liu Xiulan, but there were also quite a few villagers trying to stop the fight.

The three brothers of the Luo family rushed up the slope and were secretly shocked when they saw the situation of the Zhai family. The eldest brother Luo quickly entered the yard, not knowing what was going on in the house.

Just about to step into the threshold of the main hall.

Hearing Liu Xiangqin's heart-wrenching cry coming from inside the house, "Why is Liu Xiangqin howling for no reason?"

In addition to Liu Xiangqin, her mother-in-law Liu Xiulan was also crying for some unknown reason.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is usually pretty good, and the villagers can all see that Liu Xiulan loves her eldest son Zhai Qingsong the most. Even though her eldest daughter-in-law has not given birth to a son or daughter for the Zhai family, the old woman still protects her eldest son everywhere.

Boss Luo was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

Didn’t Baoer say that his father and grandma were quarreling?

Why is it that the old woman is fighting with the eldest brother's family...

Boss Luo was full of doubts when he saw the boss of the Zhai family holding up a bright red hand and walking out of the inner room with the help of others.

"What's going on?" Boss Luo gasped and was shocked.

"Don't ask! It's all his mother's fault!" another villager said angrily.

Together with Zhai Ximo, he led the eldest brother Zhai Qingsong out the door.

It looked like he was going to the town clinic to bandage his wound.

There was a sudden sigh in the main hall.

Everyone in the village who came to join in the fun saw clearly that Zhai Qingsong's arm was chopped.

I don't know how deep the cut is.

Several brothers of the Luo family acted separately. The eldest brother followed the injured group out and helped to find a tractor in the next village to take people to the town.

The second and third sons of the Luo family stayed at Zhai's house to ask what had happened.

There was such a big commotion that Village Chief Li also came over.

When Village Chief Li came in, he met Zhai Ximo and his group on the road. After learning about the situation, he told them to go to the town health hospital as soon as possible to bandage the wound.

Afterwards, he walked into the main room with a serious expression to look for Liu Xiulan.

Everyone saw Mrs. Liu sitting slumped outside the thatched hut, with some bloodstains on the ground next to her.

Shocking.

The second son of the Zhai family stood aside with a dazed look on his face.

Liu Xiangqin also sat paralyzed on the ground and cried.

"What's going on? The family has been divided, but they are still fighting?" Village Chief Li asked after observing the scene.

Zhai Jiahao was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word.

But Xu Ping, unable to bear the sharp gaze of Village Chief Li, said slowly:

"At noon, we were all eating in the house. The third child suddenly went to ask mom for their eggs, which made mom angry. She ran to the stove room and got a kitchen knife to chop the third child. The eldest brother desperately blocked the door and prevented mom from going to the third child's room to chop people. Somehow, she chopped the eldest brother..."

"Village Chief Li, how can I live like this? My husband's arm is about to be broken. How will our family survive in the future..." Liu Xiangqin raised her face and pounded the ground with her fists.

No one would have thought that the old woman, while trying to teach her three boys a lesson, would accidentally hurt her most beloved eldest son.

No wonder the old woman was so frightened now.

Sometimes he would regain some consciousness and cry to the sky.

Village Chief Li has a square face with a dark beard and a gloomy face.

He stared at the Zhai family fiercely and suddenly shouted: "You Zhai family is a military family, and this kind of thing happened!"

Normally the villagers didn't dare to provoke Liu Xiulan, but at this moment they all wanted to trample her under their feet.

"It is said that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but Liu Xiulan dared to chop her own son with a kitchen knife!"

"A woman like this doesn't deserve to have children!"

"The boss is really pitiful. He has to deal with such an inhumane and vicious mother. If she really kills the three boys today..."

"Letting this kind of mother live one more day would be disrespectful to the ancestors of the Zhai family!"

"Oh, you didn't hear it. When I first arrived, I heard the old woman slandering the third daughter-in-law."

The cursing and scolding of the onlookers filled every corner of the Zhai family's home.

Village Chief Li stood at the entrance for a while and sternly reprimanded Mrs. Liu: "You are still a soldier's mother! If you really hurt the three boys today, even gods can't save you. You are committing a crime, deliberately injuring soldiers, do you understand?"

"But... just for a few eggs, the third child insisted on competing with mom. It's not entirely mom's fault." Xu Ping said.

If she had kept her mouth shut at this time, Village Chief Li would not have vented his anger on her.

But he just wanted to speak up for his mother-in-law, thinking that this would make her protect their second son's family more in the future.

Unexpectedly, Village Chief Li suddenly pointed at Xu Ping and asked, "How many eggs? Who took whose eggs?"

"I remember when you divided the family property, you did it very clearly. The five hens in your family were given to the third child. You two families got a cow. Which do you think is more valuable, a cow or five broken hens?"

"Also, Liu Xiulan!"

Village chief Li usually gives face to Mrs. Liu. After all, her son is a soldier, so he should give face to the Buddha instead of the monk.

But today, Village Chief Li felt that he must teach this vicious and ignorant village woman a lesson.

"Since the hen was given to the third brother, the eggs belong to him. It's not illegal for him to ask you to take them back. Do you think you are right just because you are his mother? You are really good. You dare to use knives against soldiers!"

There was total silence inside and outside the main hall.

Especially those villagers who wanted to know the inside information about the division of the Zhai family were all attentive.

Village Chief Li was so angry that his chest hurt.

After a pause, he continued:

"I didn't want to come when you split up the family! I knew I would have to go against my conscience and help you settle your family."

"Who doesn't know that you didn't give a single cent of the money your third son sent home to your third daughter-in-law! If our village hadn't stepped in, how could you have settled the matter? You're still eyeing a few eggs."

Liu Xiulan covered her face and cried bitterly, as if she had just realized that she had actually injured her beloved eldest son.

"Crying won't solve any problems! Zhai Qingsong is a bricklayer, and he makes a living with his hands. If you develop a disease in the future, you... can only wish you good luck."

After saying this, Village Chief Li left Zhai's house without looking back.

…

Over there, Luojiayuanba.

The Luo family members were a hundred times more nervous than Wang Ziru, and they all stared at the direction of the Zhai family's slope.

Suddenly, I saw a group of people coming out of the yard and walking hurriedly towards the village entrance.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family was shocked: "Is there anyone injured?"

"Youbao'er's dad..." Luo's second sister-in-law's voice trembled.

What? What happened to Zhai Ximo?

Wang Ziru couldn't pretend to be calm.

She picked up the baby in her arms who was enjoying the sun, and stood up from the chair.

Not far away, about five hundred meters away, on a sloping road, a group of men were walking hurriedly down.

Zhai Ximo is indeed there, but he is holding...Big Brother? !

"It seems like your boss was injured! Oh my God, what happened to the Zhai family?" The second sister-in-law of the Luo family was so scared that she covered her mouth with her hands.

She saw clearly that the man with his arms raised in the middle and supported by others on both sides was Zhai Qingsong.

"Sister Ziru, look..." The eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family also saw the group of people hurriedly walking towards the village entrance, and hurried over to inquire.

The moment Wang Ziru saw the group of people clearly, she sat down without hesitation, deftly wrapped the baby beautifully in a cotton quilt, and handed it to the eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family.

"I'll come back tomorrow!"

"Hey, sister, don't worry, it's not Baoer's dad who's in trouble." The eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family hurriedly took the swaddling clothes and did not forget to comfort her.

Wang Ziru's face turned pale, and her lips were bloodless from fear. "I'm afraid that Bao'er's father got angry and attacked my eldest brother..."

"No! He would never be so impulsive."

In the blink of an eye.

The group had already reached the road outside Luojiayuanba.

Wang Ziru had already run to the road and saw that Zhai Qingsong's raised arm was bleeding profusely, "Brother!"

"You stay at home and take good care of the children." Zhai Ximo leaned on his elder brother, glanced at his wife and said.

"No! Wait a minute," Wang Ziru left her son and rushed over to stop them. The practicing physician's emergency room recovered almost like a conditioned reflex.

She grabbed Zhai Qingsong's hand, her eyes cold, "Such a deep wound, the bleeding must be stopped immediately."

"But we don't know how to bandage it." Zhai Ximo was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He is the only big brother like him, so of course he doesn't want anything to happen to him.

He looked at his wife hurriedly, "Do you have any way to stop the bleeding?"

"Help him sit down by the brazier over there. Send someone to find a car to go into the village and pick him up. I'll stop his bleeding first. Otherwise, he'll lose too much blood and faint before we even get to town."

Seeing his wife's unusually calm reaction, Zhai Ximo hurriedly went to sit down at Luo's courtyard with other villagers, taking Zhai Qingsong with him.

"Go find some strips of cloth! Hand-woven fabrics will do!"

This will take at least seventeen or eighteen stitches.

The Luo family was suddenly in a panic, and the women hurried into the house to look for old cloth.

In a hurry, Zhai Ximo took out a plaid handkerchief from his trouser pocket and handed it directly to his wife, "Do you think it's enough?"

"good!"

Wang Ziru took the handkerchief. Having a handkerchief is better than having no handkerchief.

"Have someone mix some boiled water with a bowl of sugar water, bring it to Big Brother, and feed it to him."

"Sugar water?" Zhai Ximo was puzzled.

"Replenish glucose and fluids! He's lost too much blood!"

"oh!"

The women of the Luo family were trembling with fear at Wang Ziru's domineering aura.

For a while, I was busy like crazy.

He immediately half-knelt beside the brazier and skillfully bandaged the wound on his arm tightly.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family found an old Dacron shirt and asked, "How about this one?"

"Get a pair of scissors."

“Ohhh…”

After finding the scissors.

Wang Ziru's hands were as swift as the wind. In a few seconds, she cut several strips of cloth that were almost the same width as the wound and tied all the strips on the wound.

On the highway, the villagers who were watching from Luojiayuanba were so engrossed in watching that they forgot to breathe.

"What's wrong with the third daughter-in-law? She actually knows how to bandage?"

"Looks like a comrade from the health center..."

Zhai Qingsong didn't want to drink the sugar water, but under Wang Ziru's forced request, he had to drink a bowl of sugar water.

A coal-hauling tractor from the neighboring village rumbled into the village, turned around at the entrance, and took several villagers, along with Zhai Qingsong and others, to the town's health hospital.

Wang Ziru handed Bao'er over to Luo's sister-in-law to help take care of him.

I also went to the town.

When we arrived at the town's clinic, there were a few doctors in white coats. There were no patients to treat, so they just sat there eating melon seeds and chatting.

Suddenly, I saw a villager from a nearby village coming for bandage with an injured arm. I quickly dropped the melon seeds in my hand and stood up to greet him.

"What happened? How did you get hurt? Is the wound serious?"

Wang Ziru followed the injured person into the health hospital and heard the male doctor in the health hospital asking such casual questions.

He walked quickly into the health center and asked, "Tell me, where are the medicines you use to bandage external injuries?"

"And! Where's the anesthetic?"

"You don't need to do anything, I'll do it myself..."

"Zhai Ximo, you guys take Big Brother to the temporary single bed over there and have him lie down first," Wang Ziru pointed at the single bed in the health center, and her figure flashed and entered the room where western medicines were kept.
