Chapter 102: Each person gave him three hundred
Shen Jintao and Xu Xuemei had been waiting in the hospital. Old Man Shen was in a coma for nearly two hours before he slowly woke up.
But the old man's condition was obviously not right. His eyes rolled around and he wanted to say something, but saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
When Shen Jintao saw the old man's appearance, she knew what was going on and immediately became nervous, "Grandpa, how are you?"
"Chen...Chen...Chun...Chun Miao..."
The old man spoke incoherently and looked very anxious.
"Grandpa, don't worry too much about young people's affairs. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. Young people know how to solve their own problems."
Shen Jintao knew that even if Mr. Shen was very angry about Chen Chunmiao's behavior, she was his granddaughter after all, and he probably still cared about her.
The old man also discovered that there seemed to be something seriously wrong with his body. Tears flowed from his eyes and he stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, hating himself for being so useless.
Looking at the old man's current appearance, Shen Jintao felt very uncomfortable.
The old man was also full of vigor and vitality when he was young. After all, only a few people had the opportunity to study back then. The old man was also a rare educated person, which was why he became the village chief. After collectivization, he became the team leader. Otherwise, the Shen family would not have been able to live any better than most people.
But such a rational old man all his life was now irritated by his granddaughter. Chen Jintao felt very uncomfortable and held the old man's hand, "Grandpa, please don't think too much. When you get better, I will take you to the place where I accompany the army to play. You haven't been far away yet, right? I will take you there when you get better. It's fun over there. We can pick up a lot of seafood near the sea. You don't know it yet, but I, your granddaughter, am good at cooking seafood. Everyone who eats it will say it's good!"
After hearing what his granddaughter said, Mr. Shen's mood finally improved a little, and he nodded in response.
Xu Xuemei sighed, "Dad, why are you so anxious? Your health is the most important thing."
Old Master Shen sighed. He didn't want to do that, but what Chen Chunmiao did really made him lose all his face. Even if he recovered, he didn't know how to face his fellow villagers when he returned.
Xu Xuemei has been a daughter-in-law for so long, yet she still doesn't know what her father-in-law is thinking. There is really no way to comfort the old man in this matter, and she can only let him figure it out himself.
Xu Xuemei asked Shen Jintao to look after the old man, while she went to the inpatient area of the obstetrics and gynecology department. After all, he was a member of the Shen family, so she had to go and check on his situation.
What they didn’t know was that in the village, Wang Lanxiu was slapping her thigh and looking helpless.
"God damn it! You want to kill my granddaughter! You better go over my dead body first..."
"You killed my granddaughter's child. I don't care. If you want a divorce, then divorce. If you dare to sue my granddaughter, I will go to your educated youth camp and hang myself!"
Of course Wang Lanxiu didn't want to see her granddaughter being killed by Lu Qingshan, but Lu Qingshan asked for three hundred yuan, and the Shen family and Huang Erniu each had to pay six hundred yuan, and he also wanted to divorce his granddaughter. Three hundred yuan, that's a lot of money. Her eldest grandson already has a girlfriend. If she sold everything she had to pay the three hundred yuan, when would her eldest grandson be able to get married?
At this moment, they didn't care what other people would think of them. All they could think about was not giving the money, nor letting Lu Qingshan go to the party to file a complaint.
"Anyway, if you don't give me the money and don't let me divorce Chen Chunmiao, I will sue you. I believe you all know what will happen next. Let Huang Erniu accompany her. Chen Chunmiao shouldn't be too lonely, right?"
Lu Qingshan's attitude was very firm. He was confident that with the 600 yuan he could use his connections to find a way back to the city.
Wang Lanxiu pointed at Lu Qingshan's nose and started to curse him, saying things that were so dirty that anyone who heard them would find them dirty.
"Why can't you even keep your own woman? Don't you know how to reflect on yourself? Maybe it's because you are not good enough in that aspect that my granddaughter found another man. If you are not afraid of being embarrassed, then make a fuss. Then I will beat the gong and drum and tell everyone about it."
Wang Lanxiu is already in her forties, and she really doesn't feel any psychological pressure when she says this.
Lu Qingshan was indeed angry. After all, as a man, he could accept whatever others said about him, but being told that he couldn't do anything was a huge humiliation.
"You old woman, stop talking nonsense!"
He no longer wanted to give Wang Lanxiu the respect she deserved as an elder. Who asked this old lady to be so disrespectful? "It was obviously your granddaughter who was fooling around with a wild man, but how come you think I'm wrong? Are you the Shen family the remaining bandits? You are an old lady, and you can even say such things. You are so shameless!"
Xie Lanzhi saw that Lu Qingshan was really angry, and hurriedly comforted him, "Son-in-law, you see, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. You and our Chunmiao have been married for such a long time. She has made no contributions, but she has worked hard. We, as your father-in-law and mother-in-law, have not asked you to pay a large amount of betrothal gifts. We help you as much as we can on weekdays. Even if it is for the sake of me and your father, please forgive Chunmiao this time. Believe me, this will never happen again. Don't you want a place to return to the city? In this way, I promise you, you also know that her uncle is the captain, it's just a matter of words."
Shen Jianmin, who was mediating on the side, felt very upset. "Second brother and sister-in-law, you can't say such things. The quota has been decided. Even if I am the captain, I can't make this decision."
Xie Lanzhi was so angry that she almost died. "Brother, do you have to do this? You can obviously do it. If you hadn't been unwilling to help, Chunmiao wouldn't have gotten into this situation. Now that it's like this, you're still unwilling to give the spot to Lu Qingshan. Do you want to watch your niece die?"
Shen Jianmin's face darkened. "What can I do about Shen Chunmiao? You parents didn't even say anything about taking care of your daughter, so why did you drag me into this? To be honest, if we weren't all members of the Shen family, I wouldn't even want to come here today. It's embarrassing!"
"No matter how much you say, it's useless. This is my attitude anyway. If you are unwilling to pay, then sue me!" Lu Qingshan sneered.
Huang Erniu was completely panicked and could no longer be arrogant at all.
"No, no, no, I'll give you the money!"
"Who wants to give? If you want to give, just give the 600 yuan at once, and it will be considered as your betrothal gift." Xie Lanzhi rolled her eyes and looked down on Huang Erniu.
