The old couple both felt that Tian Wenjun was right.
Zhang Cuihua said: "Wenjun said yes, we will listen to you."
Zhang Cuihua didn't dare to think about it, as she couldn't help crying when she thought about it.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve and choked up, "I'll go cook for you."
Tian Wenjun said, "Mom, cook an egg for Xiaohong every day. The doctor said she is malnourished and needs to replenish her energy."
Zhang Cuihua said: "Okay."
"Let's boil some water this afternoon and wash her body."
Zhang Cuihua nodded and Tian Wenjun had made all the arrangements.
Chen Jianguo took out 1800 yuan from his pocket and said, "Dad, this 1,000 yuan is compensation from Yang Wei and his friends.
None of us can touch this money, leave it to Xiaohong.
There was still 830 yuan left, and Wenjun and I paid for the medical expenses, which totaled 670 yuan.
Wenjun and I took the 67 yuan, and left the remaining 1160 yuan for Xiaohong to buy nutritional supplements.
Let me tell you something, I will give this money to Xiaohong.
As for how Xiaohong handles it later, that’s up to her.”
Zhang Cuihua and Chen Kaifang nodded.
The old couple had never seen more than a thousand yuan.
Zhang Cuihua said: "You are right."
Chen Kaifang said: "Okay, let's do it this way."
Chen Jianguo said to Tian Wenjun, "You should also go and have a good sleep. You have been working the hardest these past six or seven days. If you don't sleep well at night, you won't eat well this afternoon. Sleep a little longer."
Tian Wenjun just nodded slightly.
Zhang Cuihua went to make lunch. She boiled two eggs, one for Chen Xiaohong and one for Tian Wenjun.
Tian Wenjun felt that she also had a smell, so after lunch, she boiled water to wash.
Chen Jianguo went to find Chen Xiaohong and gave her the 1,116 yuan.
Chen Xiaohong said: "Brother, you and sister-in-law take this money. You will need money when you go out."
Chen Jianguo's face darkened: "Nonsense.
You have to take this money.
Your sister-in-law and I will be leaving in three or four days. You should take it easy after we leave.
The affair with Yang Wei is over. You will have nothing to do with him from now on. Do you understand?
Also, when the villagers know that you are in love, you should be strong.
Don't care what others say. You should learn from your sister-in-law that people live for themselves, not for others.
You didn't love me before, but you should love me now, right?"
Chen Xiaohong nodded.
Chen Jianguo wrapped the money in a handkerchief and put it under Chen Xiaohong's pillow.
"I've put the money under your pillow. You can give it to your parents later or ask them to keep it for you."
"Brother, give it to sister-in-law."
“Your sister-in-law doesn’t want it.
Okay, stop thinking about anything and go to sleep."
"Brother, the Yang family still has two red pear wood boxes for me. They are my dowry. I want to take them back."
When Chen Jianguo heard this, he simply said, "No.
Just remember, there is garbage in that house, we don’t want anything, just let them deal with it themselves, so as not to bring it back and disgust others.”
Chen Xiaohong still felt a little regretful, but after thinking about it, she decided not to have too much past with them.
Forget it, if you don’t want it, then just forget it.
If I take it back and look at those two boxes, I will feel really tired.
When Chen Jianguo returned to his room, Tian Wenjun had already found the clothes she needed to change.
She has been staying up late these days and looks much more haggard.
Chen Jianguo said, "There are two pots of hot water in the kitchen. I'll bring them over to you and you can wash first."
Tian Wenjun said: "Okay. Do we still have three or four days to go?"
"yes."
"I see."
Chen Jianguo brought in some water and a wooden basin.
Tian Wenjun washed her hair first, then washed her body roughly, and felt much more relaxed.
She soaked the clothes in the basin. It seemed that she had to wash a lot of clothes in the afternoon.
When Chen Jianguo came in to pour some water, a gust of cold wind blew in.
Chen Jianguo said: "I'll do some washing in the afternoon too. I'll wash these clothes then."
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "You said it."
"I said, can I still lie to you?"
The couple looked at each other.
Before dinner, Chen Jianguo fetched water several times, and Zhang Cuihua handed an egg to Chen Jianguo.
"I noticed that Wenjun didn't look well these past two days. I boiled two eggs. Can you give her one?"
Chen Jianguo said: "Let Xiaohong eat it."
Zhang Cuihua said: "You kid, how can you not feel sorry for your own wife?
Take it quickly."
Chen Jianguo took one look at the eggs and said, "If you want to take them, go get them yourself. I won't take them."
Chen Liye and Chen Xiaolan watched from the side. Both of them seldom eat boiled eggs.
Zhang Cuihua reacted and said, "Okay, I'll take it."
Chen Jianguo went to fetch water again. Zhang Cuihua gave the eggs to Tian Wenjun. Tian Wenjun didn't eat them, so she asked her to give them all to Chen Xiaohong.
However, her action made Tian Wenjun feel warm inside.
Zhang Cuihua came back to the kitchen, and Chen Liye and Chen Xiaolan looked at her.
They were all her own children, and she cared deeply for them, so she felt bad and explained, "You two have eaten a lot of meat in the past six or seven days.
Your sister-in-law worked hard to braise the pork, but she hasn't eaten a single bite yet.
Your sister is not feeling well again, so I cooked one for each of them, but your sister-in-law hasn’t eaten it yet.
You two are not allowed to have any opinions about Mom, got it?"
Chen Liye and Chen Xiaolan nodded.
Indeed, half of my sister-in-law's braised pork head and offal was secretly eaten by the two of them.
The two men lowered their heads in embarrassment.
After lunch, Zhang Cuihua was wiping Chen Xiaohong's body and found out that she had three broken ribs. As a mother, she was heartbroken.
She helped Chen Xiaohong change into her own clothes and said, "Just make do with this for the time being. Mom will light the kang for you and you don't have to go out.
When spring comes and you feel better, I'll take you to town to buy you some clothes, and we'll live a good life from now on."
Chen Xiaohong choked up and nodded.
Tian Wenjun took a nap wrapped in a quilt in the afternoon. After Chen Jianguo washed himself, he washed their clothes, hung a basket on the big tree at the door, and imitated Tian Wenjun's way of dehydrating clothes. He hung the wet clothes in the basket, turned it vigorously, and after several turns, there was basically no water on the clothes.
He hung his clothes one by one on the wire in the yard and planned to go fetch water again, but Chen Baoguo had already gone.
He came into the room, put coal in the brazier, and threw a branch as thick as his wrist into the kang. Then he came back, got into bed, and fell asleep holding Tian Wenjun in his arms.
This time, such a big incident happened in their family, and in the whole village, only Tian Erhu's family knew about it.
Tian Erhu and his wife saw that Tian Wenjun had not come to visit for several days, so they came over and found out that the couple had gone to the county town.
However, they didn't know that Chen Xiaohong was beaten so badly.
Chen Kaifang and Zhang Cuihua had no intention of telling anyone else.
Their family has had too much trouble since the beginning of the year.
First the second one, then the third one.
I hope that after the New Year, things will go better for their family.
