Chapter 570: Stroke (Additional Update)
As soon as she saw Fu Jingyou, Chen Guifen didn't bother to look at He Hongjin, and stepped forward to ask:
"Why are you back? Did Hu Zhiyuan leak the information to you? I knew he was a stickler for words!"
Fu Jingyou didn't answer.
He put down his things, picked up a broom, and swept away the broken bowl and rice crumbs at He Hongjin's feet to feed the chickens.
Only when he came back did he look He Hongjin in the eye.
He Hongjin was sitting on a small stool with a backrest in the main room, his face was crooked and his mouth was a little crooked.
He leaks food when he's eating, and drools when he's not eating, and his speech isn't clear.
The left arm also looks a bit strange.
It was shaking violently when it was clamped on one side.
Fu Jingyou didn't show any disdain at all. He wiped his saliva and touched his abnormal arm again:
"What happened? Why did it happen all of a sudden? Have you been to the hospital?"
Chen Guifen seemed to finally have a place to vent her grievances. Her eyes were red and she cried vaguely, wiping away tears.
"It's my fault for giving birth to such an unpromising and unfilial child. He was fine a few days ago, and only your eldest sister-in-law came back once."
"As soon as she walked in, she started saying life was tough and asking for money from the family. If there was no money, she'd take the radio. She's even more ruthless than a bully!"
"You and Miao bought the radio for the family. Your uncle treats it like a treasure, so how could he give it to her? We had a fight that morning, and she was so angry that she went to work in the fields without eating lunch. When she came back and lay down at night, she was like this."
At this point, Chen Guifen became even more angry:
"The Zhao family's daughter, on the other hand, saw her father-in-law was in trouble and ran away the next morning. Before we got the money, we couldn't even chase her away!"
Not only Chen Guifen was angry, but He Hongjin was also angry.
He Hongjin was panting, his eyes wide open and his whole body was shaking.
Fu Jingyou quickly patted him to calm him down, and now he roughly understood what was going on.
"Big brother doesn't care?"
"Translucent fart!"
He Hongjin angrily blurted out a bunch of words, and Fu Jingyou only heard the word "fart".
He simply ignored him and turned to look at Chen Guifen.
Chen Guifen said, "What does he care about? He's a coward. He was a bit more assertive before he had a son, but now that he has a second child, he's completely controlled by that guy from the Zhao family!"
He's second brother had a son in his first pregnancy, while He's eldest brother was single with a daughter for six years.
Whenever I go back to the village, I am most afraid of being talked about by others and being told that I have no "roots".
Fu Jingyou understands that Brother He cares about his son and the incense.
But although you are happy about having a son, it doesn't make sense that he has lost all his nature and even doesn't care about his parents?
"Where's my second brother's house?"
"Your second sister-in-law took a leave of absence yesterday and came back. She bought two kilograms of meat and gave me twenty yuan..."
Chen Guifen wiped away tears:
"Your uncle and I don't care about money. We are father and son. Even if we pretend, it will save face. At least it's a gesture, and it makes people feel better..."
"Even if your uncle is truly paralyzed, I can still move. It's not their responsibility to take care of him. What do you think of how they handled this?"
They come back to ask for money, and run away when their popularity is affected.
Afterwards he didn't even ask a single question. How could this happen in the world?
"The family lawsuit is slowly coming to an end. Has Uncle been taken to the hospital before? If not, I'll go get a car and take him there now."
Chen Guifen shook her head: "No, I told him to go, but he refused."
Fu Jingyou turned around and frowned at He Hongjin.
He Hongjin knew that he couldn't speak clearly and they wouldn't understand him even if he said it, so he simply stopped talking and just stared at Fu Jingyou with his big eyes.
It roughly means: "That's right, just like she said, I won't go to the hospital."
Fu Jingyou was not like Chen Guifen, who was intimidated by his glares and stubborn temper.
He stood up and asked Chen Guifen to pack some clean clothes for He Hongjin, and Fu Jingyou went to the cowshed of the production team.
He borrowed a cow from his uncle who was in charge of the cowshed, and then went to harness a clean cart.
Everyone in the team was surprised to see him come back, after all, he had just been back a month or so ago.
Not only does a round trip take a long time and is a long journey, but you also have to pay for tickets on both sides.
Most people would not be willing to do this.
But seeing him leading the oxen and harnessing the cart, everyone understood what he came back for, and the team started talking about it again.
He also said that He Hongjin did not raise this adopted son in vain.
Some also say that He Hongjin is not a good parent and that his two biological children are not as good as the one he adopted and raised.
Fu Jingyou had a lot on his mind.
He was eager to finish dealing with things here as soon as possible so that he could return to Beijing North.
He has no time to listen to the gossip in the village.
When they got back, they carried He Hongjin, who had difficulty moving and kept making "hmm" sounds in protest, into the car.
Chen Guifen carried bowls, basins, and packages and rode on an ox cart:
"I'll go along and take a look. Maybe I can be of some help."
Fu Jingyou thought about it and it worked.
If hospitalization is required, someone must drive the ox cart back.
The production team needs it.
The ox cart drove out of the production team's territory and gradually entered the shade of the trees. Only then did Chen Guifen remember to ask:
"Now that you're back, what about school?"
He Hongjin rolled his eyes and said "Ah, Ah", and also looked towards Fu Jingyou.
"I've asked for leave."
"Can you still catch up?"
Fu Jingyou nodded and concentrated on driving the cattle in the front:
"Yes."
Chen Guifen wiped He Hongjin's saliva and muttered:
"I'll go to the county for a checkup soon. If there's nothing serious, you can go back now! Don't miss classes. It's not easy to get into university, and teachers love diligent students. How can you keep asking for leave?"
He Hongjin couldn't speak, but he felt the same way.
Not to mention that his two biological sons are not as capable and promising as the little six he raised.
Xiaoliu is one of the few people in the village who has passed the exam. Now is the time for him to learn skills and there is no time to waste.
It’s better to go back early.
Fu Jingyou said calmly: "It's okay, let's see what happens first."
Chen Guifen shook her head and sighed, then asked:
"Now that you're back, what about Miao and the child? Should Comrade Tang Mei still look after them?"
Speaking of Lu Miao, Fu Jingyou took a deep breath, rubbed his head twice in annoyance, and looked ahead while holding the cow rope.
Just forgot to answer.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Guifen thought he didn't hear her, so she asked again:
"Everything is going well? When the uncles and aunts in the team saw the photos you sent last time, they all praised the child for growing up."
Isn't he the president?
My mother has a face like Guanyin, and my second baby is carved out of the same mold as her, and is also a little Guanyin and a little Bodhisattva.
[In the countryside, the terms "female bodhisattva face," "Guanyin," and "Guanyin face" are more direct descriptions of a young girl's beauty and spiritual energy. When used to describe a child, "Bodhisattva" can also refer to a child with spiritual energy.]
Fu Jingyou hummed softly.
His personality is somewhat similar to before, he is still a taciturn person.
Maybe it's because they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Chen Guifen didn't notice anything and chatted about something else.
For example, the children seem to have grown a little taller.
