"It doesn't matter." An Hongdou said, turning around and wanting to leave.
The woman seemed determined to get to the bottom of things and reached out to pull her.
An Hongdou grabbed the woman's arms with her backhand and put them behind her back. She immediately cried out in pain.
An Hongdou didn't come here to cause trouble, so she let go of her hand calmly and said, "I'm sorry, this is just my natural reaction, but I still want to advise you, auntie, don't pull people randomly next time, otherwise you will easily be mistaken for a bad person, and it will be bad if you get hurt again."
The woman knew that An Hongdou was not someone who could be trifled with, so she just stood aside and didn't dare to say anything, watching An Hongdou leave.
After she walked away, he spat at her back and turned back to his own yard.
As soon as An Hongdou entered the hospital, she met an old acquaintance.
It just so happens that I don’t have to look for anyone else.
She immediately stepped forward and caught up with the busy Nurse Li, and greeted her, "Nurse Li, what a coincidence..."
Nurse Li turned around and was stunned for a moment before she recognized An Hongdou. "Why is it you? Why are you here again?"
When she saw her, she thought of the handsome Comrade Shen, who actually married such a wife. It was really like a flower stuck in cow dung, which made people feel upset and uncomfortable.
"I want to ask you something. Which ward is Wang Dalei in?" An Hongdou asked.
Nurse Li immediately became interested. "What about the guy in the corner? Why are you asking about him? What's your relationship with him?"
"My brother." Seeing Nurse Li's suspicious look, An Hongdou couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, "I say, what do you mean? Are you still thinking about Shen Xiangzhi?"
"Hmph!" Nurse Li didn't want to pay attention to her. She snorted coldly and left.
An Hongdou was still puzzled. "Tsk, she's a pretty girl, why did she have to be so morally corrupt as to fall for a married woman?"
An Hongdou walked to the door of the ward in the corner and saw at a glance that the two people inside were actually familiar faces.
An Hongdou pushed the door open and Zhao Youliang, who was lying outside, was immediately frightened. "You, you, you... why are you here? This is a hospital..."
Zhao Xiaoyue, who was accompanying him, was quite polite. She shyly called him Sister Hongdou, then turned to Zhao Youliang and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Before An Hongdou could say anything, Ergouzi, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at Zhao Youliang in surprise.
An Hongdou sneered at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to see you."
As she spoke, she walked to Er Gouzi's bed, took out the pancake she brought for him from the bamboo basket and handed it to him, "My mother asked me to bring it to you."
Er Gouzi's eyes were red with emotion, "I ate the pancake, thank Auntie for me when you get back."
An Hongdou looked at him wolfing down his food, sat on a bench nearby, and asked, "How's your head?"
"It's nothing, I just needed two stitches. I'll be able to go back in two days. Thank you for making the trip to see me." Er Gouzi said, with no expression on his face.
"You're welcome." An Hongdou looked around. Even Zhao Youliang had Zhao Xiaoyue here to take care of him, but Er Gouzi was all alone. She asked tentatively, "Are you alone here?"
"My mother passed away yesterday. It's not a big deal for me to be here. I can take care of myself." Ergouzi said.
It is understandable that there is no time to take care of An Hongdou during the busy farming season, but now is the idle time, there is no work in the fields, and everyone is at home hibernating. It is unacceptable that no one is there to take care of his injured son.
"I won't say much else. Just let me know if you need any help." After all, they were friends who had been doing business together and were from the same clan. She had to call Ergouzi "brother".
Er Gouzi was really rude, "I really need your help with something, shall we go out and talk?"
Er Gouzi glanced at Zhao Youliang warily, obviously being on guard against him.
Zhao Youliang also heard their conversation, but the pain from his wounds had not yet subsided. When he saw An Hongdou, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't dare to say a word.
An Hongdou helped Er Gouzi walk out and sat on a bench in the hospital corridor. She then said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Er Gouzi sighed sadly, "Lend me two dollars. If you have food coupons, lend me some."
"Have you run out of money?" An Hongdou looked at him with big eyes in disbelief.
"No, not really." Er Gouzi said, "I used all the money I had with me to cover the medical expenses. My mother didn't leave me a penny when she left yesterday. I haven't eaten a single bite of food since last night. If you hadn't come here today, I would have almost starved to death in this hospital. Lend me two dollars to cover the cost, and I'll pay you back when I get back."
"No wonder you ate like a starving ghost just now." Seeing how miserable he was, An Hongdou was embarrassed to refuse the loan.
He took out two dollars from his pocket, handed it to him and said, "Two dollars, no need to pay it back, but I really don't have any food coupons."
Er Gouzi sighed, "I can't eat without a ticket!"
"I brought food. Doesn't the hospital have a stove? I'll borrow one and cook for myself." An Hongdou also felt that he was too pitiful. Not only was he beaten by his own brother, but there was no one to take care of him while he was in the hospital.
Of course, it was impossible for her to stay and take care of him, but she could still give some appropriate help.
"Okay, sister, I'll remember your kindness. From now on, I'll go through fire and water for you as long as you say the word." Er Gouzi said this with a sense of brotherhood, but then he changed the subject and said, "As long as you take me with you when you make money in the future, I won't eat meat, but just let me follow you and drink some soup."
An Hongdou rolled her eyes at him.
Er Gouzi asked her again, "Did you get back the wolves that were hiding in the mountains?"
More than 20 were killed at that time, but the village only captured 7. The ones left on the mountain were not a small number, and if they were captured, they would have made a fortune.
Unfortunately, he had a fight with his sister-in-law when he got home and ended up in the hospital.
Even if the wolf was brought down, he didn't contribute anything, so he wouldn't be lucky enough to get a share of the money!
An Hongdou didn't lie to him. She laughed and said, "I got it, but since you didn't contribute, don't even think about sharing the money."
"I didn't think that I was unlucky. I just felt a little regretful." Er Gouzi said with a wry smile, "When we went down the mountain that day, I was thinking that we could work together and you could give me some of the money from selling the wolves. With the money left, I could build a house for myself."
Things are unpredictable. Not only did he not get a share of the money, he also spent half of it on medical expenses.
I don’t know if he is just not destined to get rich.
An Hongdou laughed at him, "If you had realized this earlier, the 70 yuan would have been enough to build a house. With a house, would you still be worried about not being able to find a wife?"
