"Hurry up!"
In the village, Li Pozi, who was walking in front, turned back and urged Zhao Chunhua, who was dawdling.
Zhao Chunhua was holding a bag of fruits and eggs, while Su Man next to her was holding a few cabbages and walking behind them in small steps.
"What's the rush?"
Zhao Chunhua muttered something, then raised her voice and said, "Fu'an just came back today, and I guess the third brother and the others are busy taking care of him. Why don't we go tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, you'll be damned! You've hurt Fu An like that. Come with me and apologize."
Su Man and Zhao Chunhua were carrying the things. Li Pozi, empty-handed, pointed at Zhao Chunhua's nose and cursed, "If the Third Brother gets angry later, you two will kneel down and apologize, or I'll beat you to death when I get back! Go!"
When they arrived at Li Fuan's house, Li Laosi was there too. He was still shirtless and was eating a plate of flatbread on the stove in his third aunt's house.
He lives alone and never cooks, often borrowing food from other people.
Seeing Su Man and the others come in, he stretched his neck and swallowed the bread, rubbing his hands on his pants twice, "Old Five is here."
Li Pozi's legs and feet were not smooth and his center of gravity was unstable when he walked. In addition, the "filial" Su Man had been providing him with alcohol during this period. He also had a trembling problem. He staggered towards the fourth brother and asked, "How is Fu'an?"
"What can I do? I'm paralyzed."
Li Laosi was alone, without a home or a job, and had no one to rely on. He had been accompanying Li Laosan in the hospital all this time. He clicked his teeth with his hands, making a "tsk tsk" sound. "After you left that day, the doctor in town said they couldn't treat him and asked us to send him to the city. We went there overnight and tried to save him for several days. We spent so much money that we couldn't even count it. The result? Well, it's worse than death. The doctor said he's in a vegetative state, can only lie there like this. What's the point of living?"
After all, he had watched him grow up, so Li Pozi felt bad after hearing this. "Okay, I'll go in and take a look."
He took two steps forward, then turned back and cursed, "Hey, you two, hurry up."
"oh."
Zhao Chunhua hugged the egg tightly in her arms and followed behind with her head down, and Su Man followed closely.
When Su Man passed by her fourth uncle, he stretched out his dirty hands again and pinched Su Man's butt.
Su Man felt as nauseous as if she had eaten a fly, but she did not get angry. Instead, she looked at her fourth uncle shyly. Her face was pretty and her eyes were full of love, which made Li Laosi stare at her.
However, due to the large number of people in the room, he did not dare to take any action. He rubbed his hands and swallowed his saliva at Su Man's back, saying dirty words, "Little bitch, I've seen that you are not a good person. Hehe, wait for your uncle to treat you well."
Li Laosi was fantasizing outside. Inside the house, Third Aunt, who had been crying for several times, was already a little dehydrated. She sat on the ground, her head resting on the edge of the kang, breathing heavily.
Uncle San was sitting on a bench with a pile of cigarettes at his feet and a look of sorrow on his face.
It was Chen Susu at the door who saw Su Man first. But before she could open her mouth, Third Auntie shouted angrily, "What are you doing here?"
She was barely breathing just now, but she didn't know where she got the strength from. She rushed over in a few steps, pointed at Su Man's nose and cursed, "How dare you come here? If it weren't for the pesticides you brought, how could Fu'an... how could it be..."
As she spoke, Auntie San started to cry again, "My son didn't even see his own child and he became like this, how can you compensate me?"
Facing Third Aunt's accusation, Su Man burst into tears with a "wow" sound, her sadness more sincere than Third Aunt's. "Third Aunt, it's all my fault. I put it in the house after reminding you. If I knew Brother Fu'an would drink the wrong thing, I would rather drink it myself. You only have this one son, and I actually hurt him like this. I have no face to live anymore. I might as well kill myself."
After saying that, Su Man rushed to hit the wall with all her might, but was stopped by Zhao Chunhua. "If you hit him, it's better for me to hit him. I watched Fu'an grow up. If he gets into trouble, how can I, as his aunt, have the face to live?"
Although Zhao Chunhua's acting skills were not as good as Su Man's, she seemed to be more addicted to acting than Su Man. She sat on the ground and made a fuss like a child, "Fuan, take me away. Auntie will come to accompany you!"
For a moment, the house was filled with cries and roars, and everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, as if they were competing to see who had the loudest voice.
Li Pozi was not to be outdone and directly kicked Zhao Chunhua. He said to Li Laosan, "Anyway, I've brought the person to you. You can beat her or scold her. It's up to you. I won't blame you even if you kill me."
Li Laosan was so annoyed by the noise that he waved his hands helplessly, "Alright, this matter cannot be blamed on anyone else. The only one to blame is Fuan..."
His voice choked for a moment before he muttered, "It's unfortunate that I have to suffer such a disaster."
"What a disaster!"
Auntie San pointed at Li Fuan lying on the kang and jumped up and down, "That's your son lying there! It's already this late, are you still siding with outsiders?"
"Then what do you want from me! Fu'an is already like this, do you still want me to kill his third aunt and his sister-in-law to avenge him?"
When Zhao Chunhua heard Li Laosan speak for her, she patted the dirt off her butt and stood up. "Yes, Third Aunt, in fact, if Fuan hadn't insisted that Xiaoman compensate you for the pesticide that day, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
"What did you say?"
Zhao Chunhua's words ignited Aunt San's anger again, "You mean my Fu'an has become a vegetable and you blame him, right?"
Auntie San's eyes widened, and she almost poked her finger into Zhao Chunhua's mouth. "Zhao Chunhua! You said that, your conscience must have been taken away by a dog!"
Zhao Chunhua had been somewhat dissatisfied with Third Aunt recently. Although she came to apologize, it wasn't sincere. Provoked by Third Aunt's words, her expression changed. She said with a forced smile, "Third Aunt, I know you're upset about such a big thing happening to your family, but don't take it out on us. Yes, your Fu'an drank the pesticide Xiaoman brought, but you can't put all the blame on us."
"If it wasn't you, then who would it be! If you hadn't put the pesticide in the soda bottle, how could he have drunk the wrong drink?"
Third Aunt was both angry and sad, her lips trembling as she said, "I even drank the wine at your house, and you still say it's not your fault. If it was your Li Zhuang or your Li Xiang lying here, would you still say that?"
"Hey, how can you talk like that!"
"How did I speak?!"
Before they could even come to a conclusion, Li Pozi rushed over, grabbed Zhao Chunhua's hair, and slapped her several times. "Did I give you face? Did I ask you to apologize? Did I ask you to quarrel?"
Although Li Pozi was venting his anger on behalf of his Third Aunt, she didn't appreciate it. She sneered, "Third Brother, if you really loved your nephew, you shouldn't have let him drink so much that day. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so drunk that he couldn't even tell the difference between pesticides and soda!"
