She collapsed on the ground, howling and slapping her thighs, begging for death: "Oh my God, do you want me to live or not——"
"Let someone force me to death, so that you can send off the young with the old."
She was crying and shouting, her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with snot and tears, and she looked more miserable than if her own father had died.
"Dad, please think of a solution quickly." Zhao Faliang was also anxious and kept urging Li Pingwang: "Dad! Dad——"
Li Pingwang was extremely panicked, as if his life was being urged. He looked at the vicious black dog gang, who could beat him to death with just one punch. He also looked at his beloved eldest daughter Li Hongyan, who was crying inconsolably. His son-in-law Zhao Faliang was also anxious and asked him to find a solution.
What is his idea?
We must help his poor daughter as soon as possible.
Li Pingwang was anxious. He was so anxious that he started to walk around in circles, muttering to himself, "What should I do? What should I do?"
His eyes were wide open, his arms couldn't help shaking, his mind was blank, and he suddenly felt dizzy and everything went black before his eyes.
"Old man?" The black dog called him impatiently.
Suddenly, Li Pingwang fell to the ground amid the screams of everyone and was motionless.
The people around were all silent for a moment, as if the pause button had been suddenly pressed.
Including Li Hongyan's crying, she stared at her father with wide eyes in shock.
Li Pingwang fell to the ground, his eyes closed, unconscious.
It was Black Dog who came to his senses first: "Quick, quick, send him to the county hospital."
He is very experienced, and there is a high probability that something is wrong with the old man.
He is even more timid than a mouse.
The debt-collecting gang were all young and strong men. They quickly carried Li Pingwang onto the tricycle.
Li Hongyan was stunned, and was pulled and pushed forward: "You are his daughter, you have to go to the hospital to pay for the medical expenses."
Having said that, the tricycle started without Li Hongyan having to explain.
Zhao Faliang stood in a daze in the messy yard, watching the tricycle rumble away.
When the remaining men saw what had happened, they got on another tricycle and went back to Laowagou Village to report the news.
At this time, there were at least dozens of villagers gathered in front of Li Hongyan's house.
Li Hongyan is usually too arrogant. She looks down on everyone and everyone. She is also very eloquent and can even make a jingle out of her insults. She is the only "talented" person like her in the surrounding area.
Although he was not popular, when they saw Zhao Faliang's eyes turned red and he was almost crying, those people in the Zhao family who were hiding behind others came over.
"What are you still looking at? Pack up everything that can be used, and we'll deal with the unusable things later." This is Zhao Faliang's elder brother Zhao Facai.
Zhao Faliang's father died early, and his mother didn't get along with his wife Li Hongyan, and didn't let her take care of the children. She usually stayed at her eldest brother Zhao Facai's house, and only came now.
"What a spendthrift! Sooner or later, Li Hongyan will break up this family." Her mother-in-law was also a tough person, and she started crying and making a fuss.
But what's the use of saying this now?
"Hey, clean up quickly."
The villagers felt sorry for Zhao Faliang and helped him clean up his yard and house. At least eight out of ten things in the house were broken, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, pans, and bowls. Most of the rice and flour were also ruined.
Zhao Faliang sat on the doorstep with red eyes and hunched back, surrounded by people's sympathetic or watching eyes. He thought, if the debt collector came again, how could he bear it?
At this time, he didn't think at all that his wife had been taken away and his father-in-law Li Pingwang was in a coma, and whether something might happen to him.
Li Hongyan was on the tricycle, extremely panicked, and looked at her father with her eyes closed.
Heigou's men were very skilled. When they arrived at the county health center, they directly found someone they knew and carried the man to the ward.
Li Hongyan did everything, and she was just a person who paid the hospital bills.
But, she has no money?
"No money?" The black dog was also very ferocious at the county health center.
Li Hongyan was so scared that she was shaking: "I came in a hurry, and I really don't have any money in my pocket, but I can ask my mother for it."
Heigou remembered that her mother opened a small restaurant on Renmin Street.
"Go quickly." The black dog shouted, and Li Hongyan hurried away.
Black Dog felt very unlucky: "It's the first time I asked for money, and it was so stifling."
Several brothers also said: "Boss, what should we do? It's none of our business, right?"
The black dog glared and said, "It had nothing to do with us in the first place. He just couldn't help being scared."
He is not afraid of being scared and still dares to borrow money at high interest rates. It means he is courting death. How can we blame him?
"Let's go." The black dog led the people away.
The main thing is that the doctor just said that Li Pingwang fainted due to fright. There is no big problem at the moment. If there is any other discomfort, we have to wait until the patient wakes up and then observe.
Li Pingwang was a sick man thrown into the corner with his eyes closed, unconscious.
When Li Hongyan rushed to the restaurant, Zhao Xueyan was peeling garlic at the door and hurriedly called out, "Mom, my elder sister is here."
Chen Xiaoying was making a casserole dish for the guests, and when it was ready, she served it to the guests.
When Li Hongyan came in, Chen Xiaoying saw her with disheveled hair and a panicked look on her face. She was afraid that she would disturb the diners in the restaurant, so she hurried over to grab her and take her to a secluded place at the door: "What's the matter? Why are you here?"
Li Hongyan burst into tears: "Mom, I, my dad, my dad, he, wuwu."
Will her father die just like this?
She didn't want her father to be driven to death by loan sharks.
Chen Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat: "Calm down, what happened to your dad?"
"Woo, woo, my dad fainted. He is in the county health center right now. The doctor is waiting for us to pay the hospital fees." Li Hongyan finally came to her senses and told the story while crying.
Chen Xiaoying was stunned for a moment before she realized what her daughter Li Hongyan was saying.
Human life is at stake, and she doesn't care that the old man Li Pingwang was not a human being in the past. She has to go over and see what is going on.
Chen Xiaoying returned to the restaurant and told what happened.
It was the first time that Zhao Xueyan was in charge of a store and she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to handle it well. But before she could say anything, her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying had already run away with her eldest sister-in-law Li Hongyan.
There was no other way, she could only bite the bullet and do it herself.
Chen Xiaoying brought her daughter Li Hongyan, and the mother and daughter hurried to the county health center and paid the money at the cashier window.
They looked everywhere for Li Pingwang, and then they saw an old man alone in the corner. It was a very cold day, and he was asking the nurse for a blanket to cover himself.
He had woken up and was crying and wiping his tears with his sleeves, and talking to someone in a pitiful voice.
Chen Xiaoying looked carefully and saw that this was Liu Juxiang, the younger sister of her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lanxiang. The man standing next to her was her husband Xu Hongjun.
"Auntie, you're here. What happened to my uncle?"
Xu Hongjun looked at Chen Xiaoying and quickly greeted her.
"It's okay, I just fell. Why are you two here?" Chen Xiaoying greeted them, but what she was thinking in her heart was, it was most likely because his mother was hospitalized here, right?
Sure enough, Xu Hongjun said, "My mother broke her leg and is in the hospital."
