Chapter 13013 Uncle Xu is here
Shu Jinyue walked to the backyard without hesitation. Although he had disliked Aunt Li since he was a child, it was a life after all. Suicide by drinking pesticides was more common in the countryside than in the city, and people would die if not treated in time.
Without being modest, she said that when it comes to rescuing patients from pesticide poisoning, she has more experience than many experts from top three hospitals.
"Your Aunt Li, this... well, it's all your own fault."
It turned out that she had had a quarrel with her daughter-in-law a few days ago and even beat her up. The daughter-in-law was so angry that she ran back to her parents' home. Xiao Li found out about it after get off work and hurried to her father-in-law's house to apologize and pick her up.
This time, Xiao Li's wife was determined to get a divorce, and her family also supported her. They almost took Xiao Li to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities on the spot. It was Xiao Li who went to their house every day and said all the nice things he could. In the end, he knelt down and admitted his mistake. Only today did they take him home.
"This Aunt Li is the same. She wanted to live a good life when she came back, but she refused to do so. She started making trouble again right after she came back. She even said that her son only kneeled to his father, and that the father-in-law was nothing. She wanted to settle accounts with her daughter-in-law's family, and that's why she started making trouble again."
"Your brother Li was quite tough. He got angry at her and said that if she continued to make trouble, they would split up the family. The neighbors all heard this, and she couldn't save face and couldn't get over it, so she..." and drank pesticide.
The only son wanted to split the family property, which was a great shame and humiliation to Aunt Li, who prided herself on being able to give birth to a son.
"When we found her, she was spitting white foam from her mouth. There was an empty pesticide bottle next to her. I don't know where she bought the pesticide from since she wasn't planting anything."
As they were talking, Shu Jinyue arrived at the door of the Li family's backyard. Little Brother Li was crying with his head in his hands. Aunt Li was lying on a torn straw mat with her eyes closed, her face pale and gray, and foaming at the mouth.
She didn't say anything, picked up the pesticide bottle, looked at it, and smelled it. The strong smell of pesticide made her scalp numb.
"It may be too late to wait for the doctor from the district hospital. The most important thing now is to rescue her. This pesticide is acidic. Let's help the old lady detoxify it first."
"How do you detoxify?" Brother Li cried, his eyes red. "Jinyue, does your mother know how to give first aid? Hurry up and get her to my mother to see her."
"No need. I know how to treat this disease. I've treated patients in the countryside." In the past few days, Teacher Shu has spread the news that she can treat diseases to everyone, but no one believes it. They just think she is bragging. After all, Jin Yue is a famous weed bag in Liuye Hutong.
Brother Li obviously thought of this as well and didn't dare to joke with his mother's life.
Aunt Zhao didn't want to embarrass her. "Can you still give me an injection if I'm poisoned by pesticides? It's probably too late to take Chinese medicine."
If Jin Yue continued the conversation and said that it was too late to take the Chinese medicine, it would not be because she was stupid, but because the pesticide was special, and her father was not bragging.
But Jin Yue didn't answer. Instead, someone else said, "I don't think so. The doctors in our factory are very good. If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or a cough, you can get well with a few injections. But I've never heard of anyone being able to save someone who drank pesticides with an injection."
"Oh, you see, Aunt Li is already dead. It won't help even if I feed her the elixir."
…
Everyone was a little curious about how Jin Yue planned to rescue Aunt Li. Some people who had a grudge against the Shu family deliberately encouraged her to try it quickly.
"What did you say about acidity?" Little Brother Liu in the backyard seemed to have heard something. "What did you say about acidity?"
"Look, the pesticide bottle says the main ingredient is copper sulfate, which is acidic, right? We can just use something alkaline to detoxify the old lady."
"What about baking soda? I happen to have some at home. I'll go get it!"
"Hey, no, baking soda doesn't induce vomiting. We need to use something that is both alkaline and can induce vomiting..."
Someone responded quickly, "Pouring fecal water?"
Brother Liu clapped his hands and said, "Great! No wonder my grandma said that drinking fecal water can detoxify. So this is the principle!"
A half-grown boy jumped up and said, "I'm going to scoop up manure! I have a dung scoop at home!" He was just trying to watch the fun and make trouble. Aunt Li always nagged him, which annoyed her to death.
"Scooping from a public toilet!"
"Spoon more!"
"I don't know if it's frozen."
"How about something warm?"
Everyone's expressions were distorted, and Aunt Li, who was foaming at the mouth, had her mouth twitching.
Someone saw this tiny change and shouted, "Oh, wake up, wake up, Aunt Li is awake!"
Aunt Li had no choice but to grit her teeth and open her eyes. She knew that those guys in the compound were up to no good. If she had been a second late, she might have been forced to drink hot water!
"I... am... fine..." he said weakly.
"Oh my goodness, Aunt Li, why are there so many bubbles coming out of your mouth?"
Someone sniffed and asked, "Why does it smell like soap?"
Everyone: "..." Who knew he got that pesticide bottle from somewhere and had a mouth full of soapy water.
No matter how dumb Brother Li is, he knows that it’s his mother who is causing trouble again today! He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He immediately went to ask his uncle and the elders in the family to divide the property on the spot.
Everyone was even more reluctant to leave. The division of the family would be another big drama. It would be a good opportunity to hear how much wealth the Li family had, right? Old Li must have saved a lot of money when he was alive. With his five daughters helping him in recent years, he might have about 1,000 or 2,000 yuan in savings!
Shu Jinyue didn't watch anymore. After this farce, her depressed mood improved a lot. She turned and walked towards the front yard. Just as she walked under the pomegranate tree, she suddenly saw a person standing at her door.
The man was only wearing a gray sweater and half-washed military pants in the cold weather, but he was very tall.
"Jin Yue, hurry up, this is your Uncle Xu." Zhao Wanqiu came out of the house.
Of course Shu Jinyue remembered that this was Xu Siqi's uncle. He looked stern, but he was actually only a few years older than her, so she couldn't call him "Uncle".
Xu Duan's eyes swept across her eyebrows and he nodded gently.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Xu. If you don't mind, can we eat at home tonight?" Zhao Wanqiu tied on an apron. She was furious about what happened to the Huang family today. She went to the Xu family for help, but unfortunately Xu Ping and his wife were not at home. Just as she reached the entrance of Jinyu Hutong, she met Xu Duan who had just returned from outside.
Seeing that she looked pale and walked with a dizzy look on her face, Xu Duan asked her a few questions and found out that she was looking for her elder brother and his wife. When he heard that her last name was Zhao, he realized that she was Su Liming's wife, and he immediately sent her home personally.
Jin Yue quickly asked her if she was still feeling unwell, and if she didn't want to go to the hospital, she could take her pulse.
Zhao Wanqiu naturally didn't believe that she could take a pulse. There was a reason why Chinese medicine practitioners put the word "old" in front of the word "old", but in front of outsiders, she didn't want to save her face. She just said that she was much better and was going to knead the dough to make dumplings for Xu Duan.
"You're welcome." Xu Duan finished the glass of water in front of him, "Can you treat illnesses?"
The second sentence is asking Shu Jinyue.
Jin Yue then told the man again about her experience studying Chinese medicine in the countryside. The man listened quietly. She felt like she was picked by the dean to recite a text in public. Her heart beat faster and her palms were sweating.
"The person behind him was poisoned by pesticides. Did you rescue him?"
There was such a big commotion just now, he must have known the whole story. Jin Yue felt her face getting hot at the word "rescue".
"Not really, it's just... it's..." This is not a Chinese medicine first aid method, it's a trick to deal with scoundrels.
The girl's pale skin turned pink, and he remembered the thin and trembling shoulders he saw at the park entrance that day.
"Study hard and strive to pursue a professional and technical career." The man coughed lightly and poured himself a glass of warm water.
"Jin Yue, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? You even don't even bother to pour water for your Uncle Xu." Zhao Wanqiu scolded her. Being interrupted like this, the depression in her heart seemed to be relieved a lot.
Xu Duan did not stay long, nor did he eat with them. He just chatted for a few words and left, leaving the mother and daughter looking at each other and sighing.
"Mom, if I end up going to the countryside, can you promise me one thing?"
Zhao Wanqiu burst into tears immediately. "What nonsense! I won't let you go."
Jin Yue was calm, "I was just saying if."
"No, I won't agree to anything. I won't agree to anything." Last night, Jin Yue still told the captain about his experience in the countryside, and he could no longer hide the fact that he was in a difficult situation with the captain.
"We just...just...don't allow you to go again." Thinking of that long snowy night, Zhao Wanqiu felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. She couldn't imagine how Jin Yue dragged her frozen body through the vast sea of snow back to the educated youth point. "How can you be so brave? It's just a cow. If it's lost, it's lost. They can punish you if they want. You, a little girl, went to look for it in the middle of the night. What if you ran into bad guys or wild wolves..."
Shu Jinyue would definitely not take this risk if she were the current Shu Jinyue, but she was too young that year. The 17-year-old girl was too afraid of the accumulated power of that family, just like adults can't understand why in the eyes of children, forgetting to wear a red scarf is like the sky falling.
"I am considered the timid one. The four brave ones all ran away."
"run?"
In the summer of that year, just a few months before her accident, four other male educated youths from the same educated youth point, also young educated youths of sixteen or seventeen years old, could not stand the harsh conditions and exploitation by the team leader's family, and quietly ran away at night.
In order to avoid inspection, they climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, thinking that they would be fine as long as they returned to their hometown or the city. Unfortunately, one of them slipped and fell off a cliff, one was bitten by a poisonous snake, and another got lost and has not been seen since... A week later, only one person was rescued by a herdsman in the mountains.
The incident caused quite a stir at the time, but the captain's clan was too powerful. They used their connections to force the survivors to shift the blame onto the other two dead, saying that they themselves could not bear the hardship and instigated everyone to escape. In order to reduce the impact, the local authorities chose to keep the matter quiet and did not conduct a thorough investigation.
They were able to "suppress" such a big thing, which was a subversive blow to the passionate and simple Shu Jinyue, and the same was true for others.
However, she knew that in addition to the survivors, the missing person was still alive.
After she died in her previous life, the big shot who brought down the captain's family found this key witness and identified him, and then contacted the media to uncover the injustice that happened more than ten years ago, completely igniting the fuse to eradicate the evil forces of the century-old family.
It would be great if I could meet that important person in advance, Jin Yue thought.
