Chapter 469 The Control Group of the 1960s' Beloved Heroine 13
He Guihua and Dazhuang's wife hurried to the door of Su Jianshe's house. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with the joy of revenge.
However, He Guihua always claimed that she was different from other village women, and she even pretended to pat the door before knocking on it.
"Su Lao San, hurry up and come out! Your mother is still sitting on the ground crying. If you keep hiding in the house and keep silent, don't blame us aunts for meddling in your mother's affairs and defending her!"
The people in the room still didn't move. He Guihua couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She soon returned to her warm-hearted look and, together with Dazhuang's wife who had been unable to wait, slammed hard on the dilapidated door.
With a "bang", the door of the house fell down. The two did not expect that they could break the door open so easily. They were excited and did not care even if the door raised a layer of dust. They walked into the house in two steps.
The two of them took a look at the furnishings in the house and curled their lips in disgust. It seemed that the Su family's life was not much better than theirs.
It was a small room with only a kang for the family of three, a washstand, and a broken table against the wall that looked okay.
Oh, there is a pair of boxes on the kang. You can tell at a glance that they are Liu Xiaomei’s dowry.
When they came to the kang, they wanted to reach out and shake the couple who were lying motionless on the kang. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stretched out their hands, they were bitten by a giant spider that fell from the sky.
"ah……"
“Ah, it hurts…”
The cries of pain from the two people made the people outside who had been ready to make a move unable to bear it any longer, and they rushed in hurriedly.
"Hiss, what's going on?"
"Sister Caihua, Sister Guihua, what's wrong with your hands?"
I saw that the hand that the two men were holding was bruised and swollen, like a steamed bun, and more than twice the size of the other hand.
Someone shouted, "Oh, was he bitten by a poisonous creature? Go to the clinic right away to get checked out. Don't let the poison spread and kill him!"
He Guihua and Dazhuang's wife were so scared that their faces turned pale. They couldn't even remember the purpose of their entering the house and hurriedly ran to the village clinic.
The crowd of onlookers were left completely bewildered, wondering how the two men could have been poisoned in such a short time.
While being curious, they couldn't help but feel lucky that they didn't join in the fun, otherwise they might be the ones who were poisoned now!
The group talked for a while, then turned their attention to the family of three lying motionless on the kang.
Without a door, anyone in the yard or lying on the wall can see what's going on in the house.
Such a loud noise would wake up even a deaf person, so how come this family of three didn't make a sound?
Cuihua squeezed through the crowd of people looking in and called out softly, "Xiaomei, Jianshe!"
Still no one answered.
A group of onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that when this kind of situation happened in their own home, it would usually be...
Hearing from his wife that his third brother might have been in trouble, Su Jiandang pulled Su Jianguo and Su Jianye and hurried back, only to see that the door of his third brother's room had fallen to the ground and a group of people were crowded at the door.
Su Jianshe's face changed. He took a few steps forward and pushed through the crowd. He saw Su Jianshe and his wife lying on the kang, pale and unconscious. He staggered a few steps in fear and said in a trembling voice, "Third... Third brother..."
Su Jianguo and Su Jianye were also frightened. Thinking of the people who had starved to death in the village in the past two years, they thought that their third brother had also starved to death.
The two men's eyes were red as they stepped forward tremblingly, about to reach out to feel Su Jianshe's breath. Aunt Cuihua saw that the brothers had misunderstood and quickly explained, "He's still breathing, he just hasn't eaten in a long time and fainted from hunger!"
The three brothers looked at her at the same time, their eyes filled with the same thought: You didn't lie to me?
Aunt Cuihua nodded solemnly: "He really fainted from hunger. Your Uncle Dahu has just checked him out. He's fine. Just wake him up and give him something to eat."
Da Hu is a hunter and has some knowledge of pharmacology, not much, but he will never be wrong when he sees whether a person is alive or not!
Well, although you can tell with your eyes whether a person is dead or alive, but the person is unconscious and dying, it really requires an experienced person to come out and calm people down.
The three Su Jianguo brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after they relaxed, their legs and feet felt weak again.
Su Jianguo was the boss. Even though he looked like a wimp at the moment, he calmly asked everyone to leave the house and went forward to check on Su Jianshe.
As they got closer, Su Jianshe's pale, thin face caught his eye, and his heart ached.
This is his brother who was born of the same mother and grew up with him, but now because of his mother... he is lying here like this.
He is really useless. If he could find more food to send to the third brother in the past few days, he wouldn't have fainted from hunger!
Su Jiandang had the same mentality. If he had known that his third brother would faint from hunger, he would have saved an extra bite of food.
Su Jianye looked around, scratched his head and asked curiously: "Hey, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law has fainted, why didn't you see Mother?"
Su Jianguo and Su Jiandang then realized that their third brother and his wife had fainted from hunger. Where had their mother gone?
Lu Zhaodi is in her room now!
She sat on the kang holding Su Baozhu, her eyes flickering and her facial expression particularly ugly.
Don't get me wrong, she wasn't worried about the fainted Su Jianshe and his wife, but she was angry because Su Jianshe and his wife's fainting caused her to lose face again!
"Mom, are you in the house?"
Su Jianguo knocked on the door and walked in. He saw Lu Zhaodi's face was grim. Thinking she was worried about Su Laosan, he said softly, "Mom, my third brother and his wife are fainting from hunger. Do you still have the malted milk you bought last time? If so, I'll make a bowl for each of them."
Lu Zhaodi was very angry, and Su Jianguo ran into the trap.
"What are you eating? You're a bunch of debt collectors. You haven't eaten for two or three days, how could you be so hungry that you fainted? You're still thinking about my malted milk. You're a bunch of ungrateful wolves. I think they just want to embarrass me."
Su Jianguo thought his mother didn't hear clearly, so he explained, "Mom, my third brother and his wife fainted from hunger. It's not that they want to get your malted milk, it's me..."
Lu Zhaodi raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by 'I'? Get out of here right now! Malted milk is for your sister's health. I usually don't want to drink it. You brothers are supposed to be good to your sister, but you dare to covet her food. You are a bunch of debt collectors, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Su Jianguo couldn't believe it, as if he was meeting his mother for the first time.
My third brother is so hungry that he fainted. It’s ok that mother doesn’t care about him, but why does she say such harsh words?
He didn't want to make his mother angry, but all the food at home was locked in her room. He could only speak again: "Mom, Uncle Dahu said that my third brother and the others fainted from hunger and need something to eat. Otherwise, you can get me some food!"
Lü Zhaodi met Su Jianguo's gaze and immediately became furious. She cursed angrily, "No, isn't Su Jianshe capable? If you have the guts to disobey me, you should also have the ability to support yourself. Why is he always worrying about food at home?"
"And you, at this hour, why are you back home instead of working in the fields or going to the mountains to find food? Are you trying to imitate the Third Brother?"
Lu Zhaodi looked at Su Jianguo with her eyes spitting fire. She was determined to teach Su Jianshe a lesson and refused to give him any food.
Su Jianguo was very disappointed. Coincidentally, his father came back at this time, so he hurried to find his father.
He thought Old Man Su would ask his mother to bring out the food, but he didn't expect his father to just say lightly: "That unfilial son dared to disobey your mother, he deserves to starve to death!"
In the end, it was the sisters-in-law Wang Meihua and Li Xiaoqin who secretly brought a bowl of brown sugar water and a bowl of egg water to the third room with a look of pain on their faces.
In those days, even a mouthful of coarse grains was very precious, not to mention sugar water and eggs, which were things you could only eat when giving birth and during the Chinese New Year.
Both of them looked in pain. Li Xiaoqin delivered the things and left. Wang Meihua had no choice but to feed sugar water to Liu Xiaomei, who had just woken up and had no strength to speak, with her big belly.
Su Jianshe and his wife were pretending to faint, but they actually fainted while pretending. Now, while drinking the sugar water (egg water) in the bowl, they couldn't help feeling a little guilty when thinking about the dried sweet potatoes they had secretly eaten.
Su Li: Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise, with Old Lady Lu shaking vigorously, rolling her eyelids, and secretly pinching people's arms, you two would have been exposed!
But within the morning, the news spread in the village: Because her daughter-in-law had no milk to feed her little girl, Lu Zhaodi did not give the third son of the Su family and his wife any food for three days, almost starving the young couple to death.
