Chapter 808: Grandma Nine Survived a Narrow Escape
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zijin immediately called Yuzhu over, briefly explained the situation, and then instructed her.
"When parents come back, go tell the sisters-in-law that they will have to work hard today."
"If your eldest sister hasn't come back yet, go over and help first."
"When your eldest brother comes back, tell him that I went to the hospital."
Both parents went to the vegetable garden. Upon hearing the news, Lu Yuzhu became nervous: "Okay, sister-in-law, go quickly. I'm at home."
The ground was frozen, so Xu Zijin didn't ride a bike, but ran to the division hospital instead.
When she arrived, Director Niu Village and his son were waiting at the door of the emergency room...
"Uncle Niu, how is Granny Nine?"
Director Niu Cun shook his head sadly: "They are trying to save him, but... I'm afraid... it's difficult..."
As soon as the words fell, Xu Zijin's nose felt sore: "What's going on?"
"It seems that a thief broke into her house and turned it upside down."
"We can only know the specific situation after Aunt Jiu wakes up."
A thief broke in?
After hearing what Director Niu said, Xu Zijin's anger suddenly rose up: "These bastards!"
"Once I catch him, I will never let him go!"
But scolding won't solve the problem. Everything has to wait until Grandma Nine wakes up.
Xu Zijin was so nervous that her whole body was shaking. She clenched her fists and stared at the door of the emergency room anxiously.
It seemed like a century had passed before the door of the emergency room finally opened, and it happened to be Dr. Cao again.
"Doctor Cao, how is the patient?"
Seeing her, Doctor Cao said truthfully: "The patient has been temporarily rescued, but has not woken up yet."
"Also, his left leg was fractured. He must have been very frightened."
"The old man is old, and he was frightened like this. Can he... I can't say for sure."
Indeed, the medicines of this era, especially those for treating shock and reducing inflammation and fever, are not very effective.
However, as long as the old man is still alive, Xu Zijin will not worry.
As soon as Wang Cuihua arrived and heard what Dr. Cao said, her tears suddenly came out.
She gnashed her teeth and cursed: "You damn bad guys, you will die a miserable death. I will report it to the police right now."
There were no surveillance cameras these days, and the scene must have been destroyed long ago.
Xu Zijin knew that calling the police was useless.
And Granny Jiu said that the reason she had been guarding the cottage was because there was a secret in the cottage.
If the public security personnel find out the secret, it will not be a good thing.
No, we can't let her call the police!
Xu Zijin became anxious.
But how to stop Aunt Wang from calling the police?
Xu Zijin's eyes rolled and he had an idea in his mind.
So, she turned to look at Wang Cuihua and said, "Aunt, did many people enter Grandma Jiu's yard this morning?"
Is this related to the police?
Wang Cuihua nodded honestly: "Of course there are. I'm afraid half of the production team's people have gone in."
"I shouted for a long time before those people left."
"If I hadn't told you that you couldn't explain clearly if you lost something, I'm afraid those people wouldn't have left."
"Xiao Xu, I can't say that people are all bad."
"But there are many people with bad hearts. They all think that the old man still has some advantages."
"That small courtyard was almost collapsed back then, and it was my father-in-law and his sons who helped to renovate it."
"What can be hidden in such a palm-sized place?"
"If there really were good things, would she still be able to live those years worrying about the next meal after eating the previous one?"
"During those years when there was nothing to eat, I even ate tree bark."
Wang Cuihua cried as she spoke.
In the 1950s, there were still antique shops that collected old items.
Her husband said that the Wang family insisted on a betrothal gift of 100 yuan, and it was Aunt Jiu who sold her ancestral jade bracelet to raise the money.
If it weren’t for Aunt Jiu, the man in his family would have remained single.
So, Wang Cuihua was really sad when she saw that Grandma Jiu was harmed like this.
As they were talking, Grandma Jiu was pushed out by the nurse.
Everyone followed her to the ward, and Wang Cuihua forgot about reporting the case.
Everyone was guarding the old man, and time seemed to have stopped.
"Aunt Jiu, how are you?"
Just when everyone was getting extremely anxious, Granny Nine finally woke up, but her breath was very weak and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Hearing Wang Cuihua's voice, she could only blink with a dim look in her eyes.
Seeing the old man like this, Wang Cuihua started crying again.
"You damn thing, I curse you to die soon. You even spared the old man. You really deserve to be cut into pieces!"
The bad guy is not here, what’s the point of scolding him?
Today is Chinese New Year, and many people have come to see Grandma Jiu, and they are all crowded here, making it inconvenient for Xu Zijin to rescue people.
"Uncle Niu, Auntie, today is New Year's Day, you should go back first."
"Looking at Grandma Jiu's condition, I'm afraid she'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days."
"Grandma Jiu has no relatives either. My adoptive parents entrusted her to me before they went to the imperial capital. I have the responsibility to take care of her."
"But to be honest, my children are not only small, but also numerous. It's a bit difficult to watch over them every day."
"Well, you can help me hire someone for ten dollars a day, and I'll take care of the food."
"How about asking a kind person to take care of me for half a month?"
Wang Cuihua waved her hand as soon as she heard it: "What money do you want? I'll guard it, Xiao Xu, you just go back."
"Aunt Jiu is originally from our Niu family. Apart from your uncle Niu, she is the closest to our branch."
"We are family, and it is our responsibility to take care of her."
Xu Zijin knew that Wang Cuihua was a nice person, but she was a big mouth and couldn't hide anything.
Moreover, there are many people in the family and some of them have more ulterior motives, so Grandma Jiu doesn't dare to say anything to her.
How can you take advantage of an elderly person and burden others?
Xu Zijin said sincerely: "Aunt, you can't do it alone. Granny Nine needs someone to watch over her day and night."
"We still need to hire someone to watch over her all day, and then we can take turns to come and keep her company."
Wang Cuihua thought about it and agreed: "Okay, Xiao Xu, if you must hire someone, that's fine."
"But I don't feel comfortable asking anyone else, so I'd better ask my second son's wife to come."
That's good.
With Wang Cuihua around, Xu Zijin is not afraid of others abusing Grandma Jiu.
She nodded: "Okay, but I have to pay for it. If you don't want to pay, I'll ask someone else."
"I'll be on guard now. Go back and get your toiletries. Come back after lunch."
Xu Zijin thinks that only when you are paid will you do your best.
In fact, Wang Cuihua was reluctant to let others make the money, so she thought of asking her daughter-in-law to come.
"Okay, I'll go back first."
"Hey, this happened during the New Year. The bad guy should be struck by thunder."
Hearing this, Xu Zijin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Evil will be punished, that's for sure."
"Aunt, let's talk about reporting the case later. It's Chinese New Year, and the comrades in the police station have to celebrate the New Year too."
"Let's talk about it after the New Year. The yard is locked up anyway."
