Chapter 200: The person who did this is so evil!
The old lady was so ill that she couldn't get up.
The Xu family, young and old, are all popular in the village. When the old man was sick, many people came to visit him. Now that the old lady is sick, many people also come to visit after hearing the news.
But after the visitors left the Xu family, the words they spoke were completely different and polarized.
Having witnessed how difficult it was to take care of the old lady of the Xu family and how indescribably rude and violent she was during her illness, the villagers spread the word that the old lady had become confused due to her illness and was completely unable to do anything.
The Xu family has done everything well, but the old lady really doesn't look like one.
The old lady was rarely conscious, and when she was conscious, she was extremely resistant to taking medicine. She would even use her remaining strength to grab anything she could and throw it at anyone who entered the house. Today, she almost smashed Aunt Xu's head.
Looking at the huge purple bump on Aunt Xu's forehead, the old man's face looked uglier than ever.
"Is there any other injury? Should we ask a doctor to take a look?"
Second Aunt Xu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I didn't dodge it and got hit directly. It will disappear in a few days. It's not a big deal. It's just..."
Second Aunt Xu hesitated, and after a long pause, she couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, we spent a lot of money on the embroidery shop. Although we bought it, I've been stuck at home these days and haven't been able to visit it sooner. I'm worried..."
"I'm worried that if I continue to waste time at home like this, I'll miss out on my work. I want to go to the embroidery shop tomorrow to take a look."
No matter how dissatisfied she was with Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu never felt that serving her mother-in-law was a responsibility she could shirk.
But the old lady was really going too far.
He was said to be seriously ill, but wasn't he full of energy when he woke up?
I scolded Xu Wenxiu yesterday, and pinched Aunt Xu's arm the day before yesterday, leaving purple bruises.
The day before yesterday, Sang Zhixia was almost injured, and Xu Yanran was so frightened that she cried and hiccuped. The children at home were also panicked and did not dare to go near the main hall.
At this rate, the old lady might not be able to die for a while, and it is really impossible to show filial piety.
People who don't want to live may be called by the King of Hell at any time, and when they die, all is over.
Life has to go on for the living.
Aunt Xu knew that what she said was a bit too much, and she suppressed her anxiety and said it with an uneasy look on her face. Unexpectedly, the old man was silent for a moment, and nodded without much hesitation.
"That's fine."
"It's just that we just took over the embroidery shop, and there are a lot of things to take care of, big and small. You can't do it alone."
The old man paused and said, "Go call your eldest sister-in-law and your younger sister-in-law, and take the younger ones with you. You can stay there for a few days when you have free time. You don't have to come back for the time being."
Aunt Xu looked surprised: "But..."
"I'm in charge of everything at home, nothing can go wrong."
The old man closed his eyes and said calmly, "Even if something bad happens, I will ask Yu'er to call you back. It's not a big deal."
If it weren't for the fact that the autumn harvest at home was at a critical time and Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia really couldn't get away, the old man would even want to send them all away at once.
Aunt Xu couldn't think of much else. She just thought of the old lady in the main hall who was cursing at everyone with a breath left in her mouth. She said in embarrassment, "Grandpa, the daughters-in-law are all out. If outsiders see us, they'll probably gossip."
"It's true that what people say can be frightening, but as long as your conscience is clear, there's no need to be overly self-critical."
The old man waved his hand and said calmly, "We've been married for half our lives. If it really comes to that, it's only right for me to see her off."
"You have done what you can do. The rest is none of your business. Go and do your own thing."
With the old man's words, even though Xu Wenxiu and others were still worried, after thinking it over, they decided to go out and take shelter for a while.
They as adults could barely bear it, but the children couldn't.
Xu Jinxi and Xu Mingxu were so frightened by the old lady's hideousness that they cried in their dreams at night, crying out to their grandmother not to hit them. Xu Yanran and Xu Mingyang also wilted for a long time like eggplants hit by frost. As their parents, it was really unbearable to see this and they felt resentful in their hearts.
Xu Wenxiu packed up roughly and, worriedly, pulled Sang Zhixia, who had just been called back from the fields, and told her, "Xia Xia, listen to Xu Yu. For the time being, stay in the room they've vacated over at the winery. You don't have to come here."
"If it really doesn't work, you might as well just come with me into the city today."
The skin of the mulberry tree is white in summer, but any bump will leave a horrifying purple bruise.
That day, in order to protect Xu Yanran, the old lady grabbed a stone that she had hidden under her pillow and hit her arm. Many days have passed and the bruise is still there, which is heartbreaking to see.
Sang Zhixia didn't feel much pain and didn't care: "Grandma, I can't leave."
"There are still more than 60 mu of grain to be confiscated. If I leave now, Xu Yu will probably have to sleep on the ground in the fields and won't be able to move his legs."
Xu Wenxiu couldn't help but sigh: "Then remember what I said, don't get hurt again."
The more days Sang Zhixia's arms were blue, the more gloomy the clouds on Xu Yu's face became.
On the day Sang Zhixia was hit, Xu Yu immediately packed up anything she might need and took Sang Zhixia to the winery that night. It seemed that he would never allow Sang Zhixia to set foot in the main hall again.
Sang Zhixia nodded earnestly in agreement, then turned to the person at the door and asked, "Xu Yu, is everything packed in the car? Have you taken all the things up there?"
From outside the door came Xu Yu's voice, which was indistinguishable from his emotion: "Take it, and you can leave right away."
"become."
Sang Zhixia dealt with the constant nagging from the people who were about to leave. When she took the wooden shield from Xu Mingyang, she finally couldn't help but cry out, "Xu Mingyang, what is this?"
Xu Mingyang twisted his face and said, "A shield can block stones!"
"Sister-in-law, this is what Huo Jiandan and I worked on for several days. It can even block a stone as big as a small bowl! We've tried it! If grandma hits it..."
"Xu Mingyang."
Second Aunt Xu glanced at Xu Mingyang to signal him to shut up, and patted the back of Sang Zhixia's hand: "Be more careful, and listen more to the old man and your third uncle."
As for other things, there is no need to know so much.
Just have a clear conscience.
Sang Zhixia nodded obediently. After the carriage carrying the three adults and four children drove away, she turned her head and a deep coldness covered her brows, and she gritted her teeth.
"Let's go to the fields and prepare to catch thieves tonight!"
Xu Yu watched the wooden shield in her hand, which looked like a small toy, being swung with murderous intent. He raised his eyebrows and said in silence, "Zhizhi, I will catch him. I promise."
Thinking of the rice stolen from the fields, Sang Zhixia was so angry that her forehead was throbbing. She said angrily, "Even if you promise, it won't work."
"You have to watch me even if you go and catch me! We have to catch this thief this time!"
"We must catch him!"
"I want to let this shameless thief know that not everyone can be stolen!"
"My family is especially bad!"
The incident of the land being robbed actually didn't happen today.
To be precise, since the day the rice in the fields sounded the horn of maturity and harvest, there has been no shortage of these petty thieves.
This kind of dirty business of stealing rice has never really disappeared in the village.
The families with the most land in the village only have about ten acres, which is not much of a difference on average. When the crops are ripe, the family can spend more time and effort to make ends meet and maintain the harvest. If it fails, the loss will not be too great.
The Xu family is different.
Thanks to Sang Zhixia's vigorous reclamation efforts, the Xu family now has more than 200 acres of arable land. Except for a small amount of soybeans and sorghum, most of the crops are rice.
The autumn wind is strong and the rice fragrance is strong.
The golden rice fields that stretch as far as the eye can see have become the most coveted treasure for thieves at night, just like the gold lying naked on the ridge of the ground, and everywhere there are people who want to take advantage of it and grab some of the scraps.
If they really just took a little bit and lost ten or twenty pounds, Sang Zhixia would pretend not to know.
The land is too vast and the autumn harvest is too tight to be delayed, so she really can't spare the extra energy to take care of it.
But the person who did it is so evil!
