Chapter 328: Can I be filial with my mouth? (Revised)

Even though they were not kind to her, they raised her after all, and Cao Qimei sincerely hoped that her parents would be healthy.

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that I was worried because you guys haven't come back after so many days in the mountains, so I asked me to come in and look for you."

Cao Er pursed his lips and smiled bitterly after a while: "Yu Zhiqing, we haven't found the herbs to save my parents yet."

Yu Wanqing looked at the four people with their heads down and smiled: "It's okay, I'll help you look for it."

If you want them to work hard for the pharmaceutical companies, you have to win their hearts.

The four siblings' eyes lit up when they heard this. Just because they couldn't find her didn't mean Yu Zhiqing couldn't be found either.

With the four brothers and sisters looking at them with gratitude, Yu Wanqing led them to look for medicinal herbs, and finally found the herbs she needed on a cliff.

The Cao brothers were vying to climb up the cliff to dig for medicinal herbs, but Yu Wanqing stopped them and chose to go up by himself.

The Cao brothers and sisters also trained with Yu Wanqing and others for a period of time. The eldest son of the Cao family could not hold out for two nights and dropped out early. Later, the eldest son of the Cao family did not allow the other children to train with them, saying that it was a waste of time and a mess.

So when they watched Yu Zhiqing nimbly climb up the cliff and quickly pick the herbs, the eyes of the four Cao brothers and sisters were filled with envy.

Cao Er snorted softly, "My eldest brother didn't want to go at the time, and he instigated my mother to not let us train with Yu Zhiqing. He really did a lot of harm to us."

He wanted to go, but his mother locked the door at a certain time in the evening. He was locked outside for the whole night and had no choice but to go home.

Even when Dad came out to help speak up, he was scolded by Mom.

Cao Er now thinks that his mother is really shallow.

Cao Wu curled his lips: "If you dare to go, Mom will make you spend the night outside."

"In grandma's heart, the eldest and the sixth are her eyeballs and her treasures." At most, they are just the skin around the eyeballs.

Of course, the third brother and the seventh sister probably don’t count for anything.

Especially the seventh sister, in grandma's heart, she belongs to someone else's family and is only temporarily living in their house, so she has to squeeze her hard.

The seventh sister was too obedient and did not dare to resist. She just did whatever her mother said.

Yu Wanqing landed steadily and said calmly, "Let's go. We can get medicine for your parents when we get back."

When they got back to the entrance of Wuxing Brigade Village, they heard someone shouting, "Cao Laoer, you guys are finally back. Hurry up and go to the commune clinic to see your parents. They were sent there because they were starving."

"What a sin! Cao Da and his men haven't given your parents anything to eat or drink for two days."

Upon hearing this, the Cao brothers and sisters' faces changed and they turned around and ran towards the commune.

Yu Wanqing did not go to see what was happening, but instead asked the member who told them about the Cao couple. When she learned that they were just hungry and that the team leader and the women's director were still in the commune clinic, she was no longer worried.

She returned home, took a shower, went into the office to eat a bowl of noodles, and then rode her bike to the commune.

He also carried Uncle Cao and his wife's "antidote" with him.

If you want to beat an unfilial son, of course you should get up and beat the night watch yourself.

Yu Wanqing rushed to the commune clinic with the mentality of watching a show. Outside the door, she saw the team leader pointing at Cao Da, Cao Si and Cao Liu and cursing them.

The scolding was quite harsh.

Cao Da fought back and put the blame on his two younger brothers.

The two younger brothers were not convinced and started arguing with their eldest brother.

The members who helped to send the Cao couple to the health center witnessed this scene and felt that these three guys were simply inhumane.

When the captain saw Yu Wanqing coming, he quickly asked, "Yu Zhiqing, you're here."

Yu Wanqing nodded: "Sister Cao Qi and the others have found the herbs, and I have just prepared the pills. Uncle Cao and Aunt Cao will be able to move after taking them. If they take good care of themselves in the future, they will be able to recover to their previous condition."

The captain and the members all agreed that this was good news.

Cao Da and the others felt a pang in their hearts. After their parents recovered, would they have any opinions about them when they thought about how they had treated them in the past few days?

Thinking of this, Cao Da felt uneasy.

He hasn't married yet. If his parents don't give him money, does he have to rely on himself to marry a wife?

The more he thought about it, the more scared Cao Da became.

I even felt a little resentful towards Cao Qimei and the others for working so hard to bring back the herbs.

Not long after the Cao couple took the pills, they were able to move their hands and feet and speak normally. However, as they had been hungry for two days, even after receiving an IV and eating some porridge, their voices were still a little weak.

Yu Wanqing told Uncle Cao and his wife all the dangers that the Cao brothers and sisters encountered after entering Xishan. The scene of killing a wild boar was changed to that they fought desperately with the wild boar, and later the wild boar was injured and ran away.

She is a good storyteller and the whole process was thrilling.

The Cao siblings were stunned. How could Yu Zhiqing know so much?

Cao Qimei is a person who cannot keep secrets, so she asked out loud the doubts in her heart.

Yu Wanqing explained slowly: "When I entered the mountain, I saw a wounded wild boar with several knife wounds on its body. Later, when I met you, I found that your clothes were stained with blood, so I guessed that you had encountered a wild boar."

Cao Er had already guessed that Yu Zhiqing had been following them to protect them, and the strange behavior of the wild boar must have been caused by Yu Zhiqing.

There are no gods in this world. It turns out that Yu Zhiqing was the one who protected us in secret.

Cao Er was filled with gratitude. Thinking of the status of his third brother and seventh sister in the family, he quickly pretended to be scared, his whole body trembling a little. He said, "Wild boars are scary."

“We almost didn’t make it back.”

Cao Wu also added: "A wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms rushed towards us. If it hadn't fallen down on the way, we wouldn't have had a chance to escape alive."

"The scene at that time is still terrifying when I think back on it now." Cao Wu looked at his second brother and seventh sister: "My second brother almost fell off the cliff. Fortunately, my seventh sister reacted quickly and rushed over to grab my second brother's hand. Otherwise, my second brother would have fallen and would have died."

Just by listening, everyone felt dangerous.

Uncle Cao was already in tears, and Aunt Cao felt extremely complicated. She had never thought that her three sons had already abandoned her just because she had a disease.

The old lady in the next bed couldn't help but say, "You two are blessed. Although your other three sons are not good people and are not filial, you still have four filial children."

"Yes, these four children are really good. They risked their lives to help you collect herbs. Such children are really kind and filial. This is something many people envy."

The old lady sighed and said, "Bring up your children well. As long as they are good, your life will certainly not be bad when you are old."

"Don't let the children's hearts get cold. If people's hearts are cold, it will be difficult to warm them up."

Cao Da and the other two stood outside the ward, their faces becoming increasingly uglier as they listened to the old lady's words.

"Just shut up, and we will definitely be nice to our parents."

Yu Wanqing sneered when she heard this: "It is said that there are no filial sons around a long-term sick bed. It has only been five or six days and you can't hold on. You almost starved my parents to death. You still call me filial? Are you being filial with your mouth?"

Yu Wanqing's words hit Cao's heart.

Yu Wanqing felt that this was not enough, and smiled at Aunt Cao: "Aunt, your daughter is also a piece of your flesh and blood. As long as you treat your daughter well and educate her well, you will not ignore her even if she gets married in the future."

"No matter where your children go, they are still your own flesh and blood."

She asked Aunt Cao: "Aunt, after you married Uncle, did you completely ignore your parents?"

Aunt Cao shook her head quickly. How could she not care?

Thinking of this, she was stunned.

Yes, she is also my daughter, and she is also the water that I spilled from my mouth.

But whenever she had something delicious to eat, besides thinking about her son, she would think about her parents.

No one in the surrounding area said that she was unfilial.

She glanced at Cao Da and the others, and finally her gaze fell on her skinny little daughter. She was fifteen years old, not even as tall as her sixth brother's shoulders. But it was this skinny little child who went to work every day to earn six work points, and she had to clean the house, do the laundry, cook, and feed the chickens and pigs. These were all her jobs.

But every time the old man would silently help his daughter feed the pigs and chickens and clean the house. Then he would look at himself and it seemed that she, as a mother, was the one who bullied her daughter the most.

In the past, the daughters-in-law of secretaries always said that having a young lady was good. They wanted a caring little girl who they could talk to about their worries, and not a naughty and unpleasant boy like her.

At that time, she thought the secretary's daughter-in-law's idea was a little ridiculous. Daughters are money losers and belong to other people, so what does it matter how caring they are.

It turns out that the truly ridiculous person is oneself.

She waved to her daughter and said, "Seventh sister, come here."

Cao Qimei walked up to her mother and thought she was going to hit her again, so she was ready to dodge.

It was only when a pair of weak hands held her injured hand and repeatedly looked at the wound on her hand that Cao Qimei realized that her mother was not going to hit her.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wouldn't have to fight. It was good that he wouldn't have to fight.

Aunt Cao looked at the red and swollen wound on her daughter's wrist and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Cao Qimei shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Cao Wu frowned: "How can it not hurt? You were in so much pain yesterday that you couldn't sleep." Why is this sister still so silly? I told her before that crying children get candy.

But she said that daughters who cried were beaten more.

He also taught his sister not to do so many things, and if her mother hit her, she should hide behind herself or her father.

But every time she was beaten, she was unwilling to hide behind herself or her father.

Now the Seventh Sister is like a poor little thing hiding in a corner begging for a little living space.

Cao Wu felt that he was very angry now, very angry: "Mom, Seventh Sister is just used to the pain."

"Let the eldest brother and his friends try it. Just a whip will make him cry and feel pain all day long." At this point, he gritted his teeth and said, "Not everyone is as obedient as the seventh sister."

"They say obedient children get candy, but in our family, the more obedient they are, the less candy they get."

Aunt Cao's face turned red and white at her son's words, and she felt ashamed and guilty.

The captain sighed and said, "Alright, alright, since you and your wife have nothing to do today, we will go back first."

After that, he told Cao Qimei: "Let the doctor treat your wound."

Cao Qimei smiled and said, "No need. Sister Yu has already helped me with it. It doesn't hurt that much now."

The captain nodded and said, "That's good. You have to take care of yourself. As a little girl, don't rush to do everything, especially if you have to carry things on your shoulders. Be careful not to be too heavy and stop growing taller."

"She's fifteen, but she looks like eleven or twelve."

The captain muttered, "If you don't know, you would think that the Cao family, with so many strong men, can't afford to raise a girl."

After hearing this, Cao Er, Cao San and others lowered their heads.

On the way out of the hospital, the captain couldn't help but whisper to Yu Wanqing: "If it were someone else's family, they would be so grateful for having a girl among a bunch of boys."

Their family was so poor before, but they never exploited the girls in the family.

Even in a year of disaster, the girls in the family would eat the same thing as the boys.

Yu Wanqing smiled faintly: "Too many people think that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water."

"Daughters have no value in this family. If this wrong idea is not changed, there will be many more Aunt Caos and Seventh Sister Caos."

Yu Wanqing recalled that she once followed the Yu sisters to a mountain to collect herbs. There was a village in the mountain with hundreds of people living there.

But there are very few girls in that village, most of them are boys.

An old lady in the village said that after the family planning policy was implemented in the 1980s, many people drowned or threw their babies into the mountains because they gave birth to girls.

She is a lowly person with little influence and cannot interfere in too many things in the outside world. She just hopes that such unfairness will not happen in the Five-Star Team.

"Captain, you need to educate the members that favoring boys over girls is not good, and that women can also hold up half the sky."

She thought for a moment and said, "The attitude of the women's director should also be tougher and consistent with the attitude of the country."

"From now on, those who abuse their daughters will be excluded from the scope of employment in pharmaceutical factories."

She wanted to see if they could remain the same when favoring sons over daughters endangered their own interests.

The team leader thought Yu Wanqing's idea was a good one: "There are many people in the Five-Star Team. The pharmaceutical factory can select them. If you want to work in the factory and earn money, then you should have a correct attitude."

After the two of them walked out of the hospital, Yu Wanqing did not rush back to the brigade, but instead called Huo Lanci.

He was not on a mission and came to answer the phone quickly.

On the phone, Yu Wanqing talked about what she had done during this period.

After hearing this, Huo Lanci couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Uncle Cao himself probably has some psychological trauma."

He just wanted to teach his wife a lesson and wake her up, but he almost starved to death.

Yu Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, the secretary has someone watching them all the time, they will definitely not let them starve to death, but no one expected Cao Da and his three brothers to be so cruel, they really let their parents starve for two days."

"This is their own habit." Huo Lanci did not feel sorry for Aunt Cao: "As the head of the family, Uncle Cao is also a man without courage."

"If his wife is really sensible, it would be fine to let her be the boss. But his wife is not that kind of sensible person. This makes the house full of smoke and miasma."

Huo Lanci thought of Uncle Cao and was at a loss for words: "Being too honest is sometimes not a good thing."
