It snowed again and the weather was very cold. Gu Xi always heated the kang when she was at home, but the way to go to work at the village committee every day was her biggest obstacle.
"Hey, I don't want to go to work. It's so cold."
Gu Xi was already wearing two pairs of trousers, a sweater underneath a down vest, a cotton jacket outside, a woolen hat, and a large scarf that covered her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
She wore cotton shoes and thick socks, but she still felt very cold when she went out. Wang Xu accompanied her to work every day, helped her light the heater in the office, filled a hot water bottle for her, and only left after he had settled her down.
Chang Ru looked at him with envy and sighed, "This Wang Xu really cares about you. Looking around the whole village, there is no other man who is so attentive.
It's winter vacation now. When I go out, my husband is still sleeping. He snores so loudly that it's annoying to watch. "
Wu Yue, Gu Xi and Li Tong are not married yet. When they heard what Chang Ru said, they couldn't help laughing.
Wu Yue didn't see Sheng Huaian: "Why isn't Huaian here?"
Chang Ru prepared a hot water bottle for herself and another for Li Tong. Wu Yue prepared one for her at home and brought it to her: "Early in the morning, someone said that Mr. Shi from the village fell down. He went to see him and found that he had fallen seriously. He was afraid that he had broken a bone, so he and Yin Jie drove a tractor to take him to the hospital."
Wu Yue couldn't help gossiping: "I often see Huai'an receiving two letters, and he would giggle after reading one of the letters. Is it his girlfriend in the city?"
Gu Xi also quickly joined in: "I have seen it too. One time when I passed by him, I saw the name Xiao Wei he wrote. It must be a girl. But after receiving the letter two days ago, he was not in a good mood. I don't know what happened. I sat by the window in a daze.
The wind was strong with the window open, but he didn't feel the cold at all. I was shivering just looking at him. "
Li Tong recalled: "Four days ago, I was there when the post office delivered the letter. I saw it was from Xiaowei. After reading it, his face didn't look good. I asked him if something happened at home. He just nodded and said it was a small matter.
Then he replied the next day. After sending the letter, he sat by the window in a daze for the whole day. He didn't even go home for lunch, and I saw him sitting under a tree there. "
Gu Xi summarized the information from the three people: "Did he break up? Did Xiaowei dump him? He has been here for four years, and the girl is older now, so she may not be able to wait any longer."
After analyzing this, several people couldn't help but sigh. Chang Ru also sighed: "Alas, such a good couple must be separated. It will be different after marriage. Huai'an is not married yet. The girl has waited for him for four years, which is considered to be a kindness. It won't be so easy to go back to the city this time."
At this moment, a girl came running over and said, "Go and save my mother. She has drunk pesticide."
The few people were chatting casually, but when they heard this, they all jumped up. Chang Ru was the first to recognize the girl: "Xiao Fen, are your parents arguing again? Hurry and lead the way."
Several people followed the little girl all the way back home. There were already quite a few people gathered at the gate. When they saw the neighborhood committee coming, they quickly made way and said, "You guys are finally here. I've already had a drink."
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a woman sitting on the ground crying. A younger child was supporting her and crying with her. There was a bottle of pesticide beside her.
A man stood far away and said, "This marriage is over. It's useless even if you drink pesticide."
The woman stretched out her hand and pointed at the man. "Li Tieshi, don't think I don't know that you have an affair with the village widow Huang Qin. It's ok that you usually cheated on me, but you actually want a divorce. Did your head get stuck in the door? She slept with so many men, and she lied to you to divorce her so that she could raise her son."
Li Tieshi immediately retorted loudly: "Zhou He, don't talk nonsense. Huang Qin worked hard in the fields to take care of the children. It was because I liked her that she asked me not to divorce her and not to destroy the family. She is a thousand times kinder than you."
Chang Ru couldn't stand it any longer: "Shut up, you're making such a scene in front of the child. You parents really don't care about your child's mental health at all."
Zhou He continued to cry and couldn't get up: "Child, this beast doesn't want me and the child anymore. What's the point of cherishing him? He wants to help Huang Qin raise a son. It's all because of these two girls. If I had given birth to a son, he wouldn't have treated me like this."
Gu Xi didn't care who was right or wrong at the first moment. She had a bad feeling when she saw the pesticide bottle lying on the ground. She picked up a branch and turned the bottle over. The three words "herbicide" came into her sight.
Gu Xi looked at the woman and the child reluctantly: "Have you taken this medicine?"
The child was also crying, but he nodded and answered, "My mother just drank a sip, and my father slapped her, so the rest was spilled."
Gu Xi asked quickly, "No one else has come into contact with this bottle of pesticide, right? Did it come into contact with you?"
The child shook his head: "I didn't touch her. I was in the room at the time and I ran out when I heard my mother being beaten to the ground."
Li Tong said, "What if you drank a mouthful? Drink more soapy water and spit it out?"
Wu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Let's rush him to the hospital. The doctor may be able to save him."
Before traveling through time, Gu Xi had seen a lot of news about "herbicides" on the Internet. Once this pesticide is ingested, the medical level of decades later will not be able to save the person, let alone now.
"We want to send him to the hospital, but this pesticide is the most toxic herbicide. There's no way to save him. He can only wait to die.
The tractor was used to take the elderly woman with a broken bone, so only a bullock cart could take her to the hospital. "
Zhou He was really scared after hearing what Gu Xi said. She begged with tears on her face, as if Gu Xi said that she could survive, then she could really survive: "I only drank a small sip, how can I not be saved? I don't want to really die, I just want to scare him, I don't want to get divorced."
Gu Xi couldn't bear it either: "You have so many ways to scare him, why did you insist on drinking pesticide?
Is it worth sacrificing your life for a scumbag? You have two children. What will happen if one of them dies? Aren’t boys and girls just pieces of flesh that fell off your body?
Why do you blame your two children for the misfortune of your marriage and your husband's infidelity? You say, "I am so unfortunate because I am a girl." How do you want your two children to think? "
Uncle Zhao's ox cart had already arrived at the gate of the hospital. Gu Xi didn't say anything to her, but pointed at her scumbag husband and said, "If you are still a man, you should accompany her to the hospital. This happened because of you, so you have the obligation to take care of her. You are still husband and wife, so this is your responsibility.
As for other things, we will talk about them later. Nothing is more important than human life. This is a daughter-in-law who has taken care of you for more than ten years. "
The man stopped making a fuss at this time. He just wanted a divorce and didn't think Zhou He would really die. He quickly helped Zhou He up and put him on the ox cart.
Chang Ru thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with them. Do you have any money? I'm afraid I don't have enough."
Gu Xi saw that this place was close to Wang Xu's home, so she said to Zhou He's daughter, "Do you know Wang Xu? You can run fast, go find him and tell him that Gu Xi asked him for a hundred yuan."
The girl nodded and ran away immediately. Seeing that Zhou He had already developed abdominal pain, Gu Xi went to her kitchen, got a washbasin and a towel and handed them to her: "Take it, in case you feel uncomfortable on the way and vomit."
