Wang Shuifeng knew something was wrong, so she hurried to the brigade headquarters to seek help. Although Bao Shunfeng hated the Tian family, he could not ignore the loss of life, so he immediately asked the tractor driver to drive the tractor and take Tian Yalan to the commune clinic. Shi Datou's parents saw that the situation was not good, so they ran away when no one was paying attention and did not follow them.

The tractor bounced forward on the bumpy tractor road. Tian Yalan howled in pain all the way. When she arrived at the commune clinic, the doctor treated her and told Wang Shuifeng responsibly: the fall caused miscarriage, excessive bleeding, and it was very serious. It would be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.

Before Wang Shuifeng had time to feel sad for her youngest daughter, she suddenly saw her eldest daughter, Tian Xianglan, walking into the clinic with her four crying granddaughters, cursing at them. The mother and daughter made eye contact, and Tian Xianglan was overjoyed. She ran over and called her mother. Without waiting for Wang Shuifeng to ask her anything, she asked for money, asking Wang Shuifeng to give her two dollars, saying that the youngest girl was crying because of a stomachache and needed to see a doctor and buy medicine, and the other three were hungry and needed food and drink.

Wang Shuifeng was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Tian Xianglan twice, cursing: "Are you a debt collector? You want money when we meet, how can I have money? I gave you 30 yuan, didn't you go to find Liang Tiezhu? Why don't you stay until the New Year? Come back so soon?"

Tian Xianglan replied, "I was deceived by that bitch Meng Taohua. Tiezhu was working in the factory, how could he be fooling around with some women? He had just become a worker and didn't get a house, so he lived in a dormitory. We were always crowded there, affecting his and his co-workers' rest and work. It was not good! If the boss knew about it, he would not get a raise in the future, so Tiezhu asked us to come back first and he would pick us up later.

I gave 10 yuan to Tiezhu out of 30 yuan. He said he would pay you back when he saves up enough money. The rest was enough for round trip tickets, food and lodging for us mothers, but who would have thought that some damn thief stole my bag on the bus, and all the money and tickets were gone! Mom, please lend me another two yuan to help me out. Look at the little girl's stomachache, how pitiful she is!"

Wang Shuifeng's eyes went dark, and she felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat and she wanted to spit it out but couldn't. She pointed at Tian Xianglan with trembling fingers, "I worked so hard to get some money, but I couldn't even spend it or eat it myself... You used it to support Liang Tiezhu, and let the thief steal it! You're a broke, broke woman, you idiot! No wonder you don't have a penny on you. You can't even hide a few dollars. What else can you do? Liang Tiezhu works in the factory, can you let him starve to death?"

Tian Xianglan explained: "That's right, Tiezhu hasn't received his salary yet. Fortunately, I went there and brought money, otherwise he really wouldn't have anything to eat."

Wang Shuifeng no longer had the energy to get angry: "Even if it's not time to get paid, he can get an advance, you know? You mothers went there, he is a man, a father, he didn't try to find some money to bring back for you, but instead spent the money I gave you... and you gave it to him, how could you be so stupid? Get out of here, stop irritating me!"

"It's no use saying this now, just give me another two dollars to help me out, Mom!"

Several girls gathered around, crying and shouting. Wang Shuifeng was afraid that she would be angry to death, so she took out a dollar and threw it to her: "We don't have any more, take it and get out! Girl, you have a stomachache because you are hungry, you don't need to take medicine, just take it to the store and have a bowl of hot noodle soup and it will be fine. The team's tractor came out today, it should still be on the street, you should hurry up and catch it, go home to see your dad, he didn't eat when we went out this morning, I left some food for the people in the house, and I put half a bowl of three-grain noodles at the bottom of the cupboard, you can make a bowl of porridge to feed your dad."

Tian Xianglan got the money and hurried away with her children. She must have been annoyed by the noise of the children, and she didn't even ask her mother what she was doing at the commune clinic. As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Wang Shuifeng was so miserable taking care of Tian Yalan at the commune clinic. Tian Xianglan took a few children on a tractor back to Linshui Village, but the tractor overturned on the way. Fortunately, it was flat ground, and the tractor rolled sideways into the farmland on the side of the road. No one was hurt, but they rolled in the mud and became mud monkeys.

The tractor driver was busy looking for someone to help lift the car up, so Tian Xianglan had to walk back with the children, pulling this and that along the way. The children cried and the adults scolded them. When they entered Linshui Village, it was already evening. When they arrived at the gate of Tian's courtyard, Tian Baoshan happened to come out to fetch water and was stopped again. Tian Baoshan listened to his wife and did not want the mother and daughter to continue living in his home, but Tian Xianglan's things were still there, and Tian Xianglan said that it was her mother who asked her to come back to take care of her father. In the end, Tian Baoshan had to let them into the yard.

Tian Xianglan went to the kitchen first and found the three-grain noodles that Wang Shuifeng had put at the bottom of the cupboard. She thought to herself that a patient could not eat much, and this bowl of three-grain noodles would ensure that the mother and daughter would not be hungry for a few nights. She was happy and hurried into the house to see her father. When she pushed the door open, she saw Tian Agui lying under the bed. Tian Xianglan was startled and hurried forward to call for her father. She stretched out her hand to shake Tian Agui's body and cried loudly: "Hurry up, someone! Our father, he...Ahhhhh!"

Wang Shuifeng and Tian Yalan went to the commune and asked Tian Baoshan, Tian Zhiyuan and the two younger sons to look after Tian Agui. However, it was not good to have too many sons as they would shirk responsibility one after another. Each of them thought that the other had taken care of the child, so no one took care of him. Tian Agui was hungry for a whole day and finally fell out of bed. It was not known whether he fell or was cold, but he died.

Tian Zhiyuan, Tian Laoliu and Tian Laoqi ran over. After all, he was their biological father. The brothers followed Tian Xianglan and knelt on the ground, crying loudly.

Whenever there was any disturbance at home, Wang Shuifeng was the one who made the decisions. Now that she was away, the Tian family was in chaos, including the eldest brother Tian Baoshan. The brothers were at a loss as to what to do. Finally, it was Tian Zhiyuan's new wife who made the decision. She asked Tian Laoliu to ride his bicycle to the commune to pick up Wang Shuifeng before it was completely dark, and then go to the post office early the next morning to send a telegram to notify the third brother and his wife, asking them to come home.

Good morning, little fairies! Keep working on the update today!
