Chapter 23 Visiting the Sick



Song Jinfang came over with a pitcher to add water for the aunts and sisters.

They didn't have enough bowls to pour water for the children, but luckily the aunts and ladies all carried water bags and bamboo tubes. Song Jinfang filled them up one by one.

"Look, I've seen that the child has grown taller. These four children are getting better and better. It makes me happy to see them."

"Well, when they were at Aunt Dashi's house, the children suffered so much, and I saw it all. So when I heard that Chunsheng wanted to leave that family, I told my wife that it was good for him to leave. If he left, we could help the children if they had any problems."

"It's the same in my family. Just this time, when Chunsheng had his legs checked, we gave him two cents without saying anything. We can help, and we have to help no matter what, because we see how hard these kids are working."

"Yes, I used to stuff some food into Xiao Qiusheng's mouth, but I had to do it behind his stepmother's back. Once, the widow Sun saw it and said I was humiliating her. This time, my family also squeezed out 180 cents to show Chunsheng his legs."

Aunt Cuihua said, "Yes, as long as we can help, our Song family can still let the child live. Even though the child has his own problems and didn't ask us for money, we aunts really want to help you."

Song Chunsheng said gratefully: "Yes, we know that the aunts and sisters are kind to us. They are all kind-hearted. We are very grateful. When Chunsheng's leg is healed, I will repay everyone."

"Well, what are you talking about repaying? As long as you can live well, we aunts and sisters will be happy."

The aunts and sisters talked one after another, drank two cans of water, and finally talked about the purpose.

"Chunsheng, I heard that you guys got a great reward, is that true?"

"We have arranged to demolish your two houses today, saying that we are going to build a new house. We just came to tell you about this, do you know?"

"Oh, I know. Jinxiu helped Doctor Li and saved a nobleman. The nobleman's family gave him some money as a reward. We asked Grandpa Li to help us rebuild the house and buy a few acres of land. Then we can have a home in the future."

"So that's how it is. I said these people are all good and blessed."

An aunt asked: "Does it mean that San Ya earned this money? Who is this Jin Xiu?"

Song Jinfang said quickly: "Jinxiu is my sister. My name is Jinfang and my sister is Jinxiu. Aunt Huo, Second Aunt, and other aunts and sisters, please don't call us San Ya from now on."

"Oh, this name is good and fashionable."

Aunt Cuihua smiled and said, "So that's the case. We are relieved now."

It turned out that these aunts and ladies were also kind-hearted. They heard that they wanted to build a house and buy land for Chunsheng's family.

The villagers were talking about it, saying all sorts of things.

Some say Chunsheng sold Sanya in order to cure his leg. There is also a saying that San Ya sold herself to treat Chun Sheng's leg.

On the other hand, it means that this silver is the money that San Ya, also known as Jinxiu, paid for selling her body.

These aunts didn't believe it and went to ask Li Dong, but they didn't expect that Li Dong was busy buying land. Li Dong's aunt said that the money was earned by San Ya. She also explained clearly what happened.

So, these aunts and ladies took the opportunity to come to the county town to attend the market and ask about the situation.

After seeing off a few enthusiastic aunts and ladies, the four siblings looked at each other, all of them feeling a little amused and sad.

Third, my eldest cousin who was studying in the county school and my second cousin came to the clinic to visit the patient.

My eldest cousin was nineteen years old, wearing a moon-white gown. He was of medium height, slightly plump, fair-skinned, and well-mannered.

I failed the examination for the scholar last year, but I heard that I have great hope this year.

The second cousin, who was ten years old, was also a student, also wearing a long gown. He was tall, but had dark skin, a narrow forehead, and high cheekbones, giving him a pointed face and monkey chin.

He looks like his uncle from his mother's side.

I heard that he also plans to take the scholar examination this year.

When Song Dalang saw his cousin, he almost didn't recognize him.

Although Chunsheng was sitting on the bed, he was wearing clean new clothes. And Xiao Qiusheng was also wearing clean new clothes.

Their skin became whiter and they gained weight. The scars on Chunsheng's face were not so scary anymore.

Which visit to the hospital will leave you with nothing but skin peeling off?

And they seemed to come here not to see a doctor, but to maintain their health and enjoy themselves.

It seems that the rumors in the village are true.

No wonder grandpa and grandma sat there for a while and insisted that they talk about it.

Song Dalang stood with his hands behind his back and spoke without hesitation.

Song Chunsheng sat up straight, "Big Brother, Second Brother, why are you here?"

Song Dalang glanced at him with a complicated expression, "I heard that you were admitted to the hospital, so I came to see you."

Song Erlang snorted coldly, "Chunsheng, I'm the one saying this to you, but you're too rebellious. How can you break off a relationship with your own father? If it were my eldest brother who came home yesterday, he wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened in the family."

Song Chunsheng's expression turned cold. "Now you know that we live in the courtyard of the Third Ancestor and worship the Third Ancestor's tomb. It has nothing to do with your family anymore."

Song Erlang's face darkened, and without saying a word he stepped forward and punched Song Chunsheng in the face.

"How dare you talk to me like that? I think you deserve a beating."

Song Chunsheng just felt dizzy, his nose felt sore, and then a hot stream flowed out of his nose.

Song Qiu Sheng came and hid in the bed. When he saw his brother's nose bleeding, he burst into tears.

Song Dalang glared at him and said, "When will you change your temper? In the past, you two brothers fought at home, but this is a clinic, don't you think it's embarrassing?"

Song Chunsheng felt cold in his heart.

The eldest cousin is always so biased. It was clearly Erlang who beat him unilaterally, but he insisted on saying it was a fight between brothers.

Is it that Erlangge's uncle is a cook in the county school?

Song Jinxiu was next door, helping Doctor Xiao Li put plaster on the patient who was about to be discharged from the hospital. Hearing my younger brother crying, I ran over quickly.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw two men in long gowns standing in front of my brother's bed with their backs to the door. When I looked again, I saw that my brother's face was covered in blood. I was so scared that I burst into tears.

Song Jinxiu's heart tightened, and she quickly and secretly focused her energy on her eyes, carefully examining her brother's face.

There is a slight fracture in the bridge of my nose, but fortunately, it has not collapsed.

Song Jinxiu then turned around and glanced coldly at the two elegant gentlemen in long gowns.

"Who hit you?" Song Jinxiu asked coldly, but her eyes were already locked on Song Erlang.

Song Dalang looked at the pretty girl in front of him and asked with certainty, "Are you San Ya?"

Did you mean it was sold? Can I come back to take care of my brother after being sold? It seems that I have met a kind-hearted owner.

Song Erlang was also surprised. He didn't expect that after not seeing San Ya for a few days, she turned out to be more beautiful than his own sister.

No wonder Mr. Zhao fell in love with her, but he was so sorry, he gave her twenty taels of silver.

If they had sold it a few days earlier, the money would have belonged to their family.

Thinking of this, he glared at Song Chunsheng fiercely.

It's all because of this kid who's causing trouble, trying to break off the relationship at all costs, and he thinks he's a stubborn person.

Bah, so he wanted to keep all the money from selling the girl for himself. He has become so bold after being beaten so many times.

Song Jinxiu looked at Song Erlang and asked again in a cold voice: "Did you beat my brother?"

Song Erlang was so angry at her look that he raised his fist and said, "I'm going to beat you up, what's the matter, little girl? If you keep looking at me like that, I'll beat you up too."

Before he finished saying the word "beat", Song Jinxiu raised her hand, grabbed his hand and threw him over her shoulder.

Song Erlang fell heavily to the ground with a thump.
