This time, Shen Mingxi did not refuse.

"Thank you, Grandma Mu. I'm leaving now. You should go back as well. The weather is too hot."

Grandma Mu nodded and watched Shen Mingxi leave.

After standing there for a while, he walked towards his home...

When they arrived at the county town, Shen Mingxi followed Li Qing to pay the medical bills. She thought about it and decided that her father needed a lung examination, so she paid the money in advance to avoid any unexpected events.

After deducting the money from Mr. Shen Sanye, Shen Mingxi still had twenty-five yuan left.

Li Qing looked at Shen Mingxi in surprise, thinking that she knew nothing, but he never expected that she seemed to know much more than him.

Li Qing touched his nose and went to talk to Feng Anchen who was sitting in the hall.

Shen Mingxi walked over quickly, first thanked him sincerely, and then said softly, "...You guys go back first, my brother and I can stay here."

Feng Anchen took a look at his handkerchief, which was a brown plaid one. He had several of the same handkerchiefs. They were given to him by his grandmother when he left the capital.

You know what, it looks pretty good when tied on a little girl's long braids.

Jie Ao's eyes softened a little, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stood there coolly, with a straight posture and a proud expression.

Li Qing couldn't do anything with him, he found out that he was actually a panacea.

He hurriedly said, "Xiaoxi, don't worry, Uncle Shen is fine, the wound was sutured very well, take good care of it, it won't affect his health, since there is nothing wrong here, let's go first."

"I'll go call my third uncle and ask him to go back with you." After saying that, Shen Mingxi quickly went upstairs.

Uncle San is of no use here, and it only gives him an excuse to be lazy.

At night, Shen Yu finally woke up.

After walking the line between life and death, Shen Yu seemed different from before.

He looked at his children whose eyes were red from crying, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiawen, Xiaoxi, I'm sorry to have worried you..."

And he naturally knew that his father and mother would rather go to the brigade to borrow money than take a penny from home.

He didn't know much else, but he knew that there was some money at home.

Last year, he and his eldest brother Jiawen went to the mountains and were lucky enough to pick a wild ginseng.

That wild ginseng was sold for more than two hundred yuan.

He didn't ask for a penny and gave it all to his mother. At that time, he thought they were a family and his mother was the most important family member, so it was understandable for him to give all the money he earned to his mother.

However, they would not use the money to treat his illness.

Fortunately, Mr. Shen San is kind and righteous.

It also caused the two children to worry.

He hated himself for being like this, but he couldn't die even though he wanted to.

When I left this world, all I could hear was the sound of the creek crying and her words.

Even though he is useless and cowardly.

But if he really went, what would happen to his three sons and two daughters? Especially after this major incident, he clearly realized that, just as Xiaoxi said, his parents would not care about their children.

Then you have to take care of your own children.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu looked up at Jiawen and Xiaoxi who were standing in front of the bed wiping their tears. A hint of determination emerged in his always confused eyes.

The next day, Shen Yu checked his lungs.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s good or bad for now, we have to wait for the results to come out.

However, the doctor seriously told Jiawen and Xiaoxi that the patient was mainly suffering from malnutrition and must improve his nutrition after returning home, otherwise his body would have problems sooner or later.

However, the test results may not come out so quickly.

Shen Yu didn't want to stay in the hospital here anymore.

After communicating with the doctor, they decided on a time to get the test results and remove the stitches, and the father and his two sons took the medicine and left the hospital.

Then Shen Mingxi was surprised to find that except for the severe coughing in the past few days, she seemed to have hardly heard her father coughing in the past two days.

This discovery made Shen Mingxi very happy.

To get back to Kaoshantun, if you don’t have a car, you can only walk.

Fortunately, they are all farmers who work in the fields all year round, so walking dozens of miles is not a big problem for them.

Halfway through the journey, we happened to meet a ox cart returning to Kaoshantun.

When I got home, it was already noon.

Chen Li is busy in the kitchen.

It's her turn to cook today.

Somehow, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Old man Shen was in a complicated mood.

The same thing went for Old Mrs. Shen. When Chen Li was cooking, she didn't make indirect accusations as she usually did.

However, it is also because Shen Qingshan often hangs out outside.

After all, meal time is also their time to take a break.

Seeing Shen Yu coming back and looking at his bandaged wrist, Old Lady Shen raised her eyelids and said, "Fortunately, it's your left hand that's injured. If it was your right hand, you would have to be fed by someone else..."

Although Shen Yu did not expect to receive concern and care from his own mother, he felt cold-hearted when he saw her lukewarm attitude.

He lowered his eyes and whispered, "It was my fault. I will be more careful next time."

"Okay, okay, my eldest son is finally back. Don't say those useless things. Just pay more attention to your work in the future. Otherwise, not only will he suffer, but he will also spend a lot of money."

Old man Shen came over quickly and changed the subject.

At the same time, he looked at Shen Qingshan with some fear.

I didn't expect that the child in the eldest room was the most cruel.

Last night, because the old lady scolded Chen Li, the child almost burned down the kitchen.

Old Mrs. Shen was pulled into the main house by Old Man Shen.

Shen Mingxi and Shen Jiawen helped Shen Yu into the thatched house.

Sitting on the kang in the low thatched house, Shen Yu's face was gloomy.

Shen Mingxi stood in front of him and said directly, "Dad, although your right hand is fine, the doctor said that you are severely malnourished. If you continue like this, you will have problems sooner or later. From this incident, you can see that my grandpa and grandma don't care about you, so they naturally don't care about your life or death. You want to take good care of your health and want to see us get married and start a family. If you don't separate, our eldest branch will never have a way out."

Shen Yu remained silent.

But it was obvious that there was recognition between his eyebrows.

"Dad, grandpa and grandma don't agree to split up the family, not because they can't bear to part with you, but because they can't bear to part with us laborers. Without us, they won't even have enough food to eat."

"But these people never realize this and always think that we are the ones who eat and drink for free and rely on them for support."

"Dad, we have to split up the family. It's not easy for you to ask, so don't worry about it. Leave it to me and my brother. As long as you stand on our side, it will be fine."

Shen Yu looked at her daughter.

These two days he discovered that his daughter had grown up and was doing things in an orderly manner.

The same is true for Jiawen.

Now that the children have grown up, he should consider their future.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yu finally nodded, "Xiaoxi, I agree to separate the family!"
