"What? Yumei, you're injured. Why don't you tell me how serious your injury is?"
Pan Yumei hurriedly shook her hands, "It's not serious, it's not serious, it's gone, there's no need to go to the hospital."
After saying that, he lowered his head, not daring to look Su Li in the eye.
Xiaodong was very worried when he heard that his mother was injured. "Mom, I didn't even notice where you were injured. Does it hurt?"
"Mom doesn't feel any pain, my child. Mom doesn't feel any pain at all."
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up later! So that my brother can rest assured. Your life-saving grace is greater than heaven, and our whole family is grateful to you."
Pan Yumei blushed, "It doesn't matter, really. I'm all right now, there's no need to go to the hospital. You're also our family's benefactor, the same as before, the same as before."
She didn't want to see Xie Zhenghe anymore. He was her brother-in-law now, and it would be inappropriate for her to meet him. Besides, if her third sister knew about it, she would definitely make a fuss again.
"There's one more thing. My eldest brother asked me to tell you something. He and Pan Zhaodi divorced some time ago. She stole the family's passbook. He went to ask for it back, but was retaliated by Pan Jiabao on his way back. My husband works at the police station. He has notified his colleagues and they will arrest him in the next two days. My eldest brother said that if you want to save Pan Jiabao, he can consider forgiving you."
After Su Li finished speaking, she looked at Pan Yumei. She was the one who wanted to say that Xie Zhenghe and Pan Zhaodi should get divorced. It was not her fault that she was selfish. Pan Yumei was such a beautiful girl and had given so much for her eldest brother. If the two of them could have a chance to be together, she thought the whole family would be happy to see it happen.
Pan Yumei's eyes widened when she heard this. Her third sister and Xie Zhenghe were divorced, her third sister stole Xie's savings book, and Pan Jiabao beat people up.
She really didn't expect that Xie Zhenghe was injured not because of his divorce from Pan Zhaodi.
Mrs. Liu probably understood what she heard. Humph! She didn't like the Pan family, especially the uncle of the Pan family. He was a good-for-nothing, a thief, and a scoundrel.
The daughter-in-law only interacts with her eldest sister and youngest sister. These girls are all from the same family. It's just that they have a hard life, having to deal with such a family.
She didn't want her daughter-in-law to help at all. This person! Everyone has their own luck. You can't avoid bad luck. She has let it go for so many years.
Pan Yumei: "I... I severed ties with my natal family. My husband had just married and my child was young, so our family was in financial difficulty. My natal family wanted to use this as an excuse to get food, but they called me a jinx, a disaster star, and an unlucky person who brought bad luck to others. If it weren't for my eldest sister and my second sister, I don't know if Xiaodong would still be alive. When they kicked me out of the house, they asked the team leader to sign a document saying that the Pan family didn't have a daughter like me. Now that Pan Jiabao has committed a crime, I won't say anything more. He should take the responsibility, and he can't run away."
Su Li nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, I know what you mean. I will go back and tell my brother about your injury. I thought if you really don't want to go to the hospital, I brought some medicine. If you apply it on time and take the medicine, we can rest assured."
"Oh! Damn it!" As long as she was not allowed to go to the hospital for treatment, a trip to the hospital would cost a lot of money, and Xie Zhenghe was still in the hospital and was awake at this moment. She didn't dare to see him.
After dinner, Su Li helped clean up and drank some water. Seeing that it was getting dark, Su Li suggested going back home.
Granny Liu hurriedly grabbed the snakeskin bag on the ground and said, "Girl, take this with you. We can't accept your things anymore."
"Auntie, don't worry. I've just told my sister-in-law how to use the medicine I brought. Here are two eye drops, and the water in this thermos is oral medicine. Drink a few sips a day to save your life."
With this combination, even if it cannot be restored to its original state, with the spiritual spring water, at least Liu Pozi can see more clearly.
"Hey, this thing is precious! How much does the medicine cost? You tell me to remember it. And this thermos, it's a scarce item. The village chief doesn't have one at home. I'll find a clay pot like it."
As he spoke, he went around the room looking for a pottery jar.
"Auntie, this medicine can't be placed anywhere else. I have it at home, so you can keep it at home! This is also a kind gift from my eldest brother. You can see that Xiaodong has frostbite on his hands, so a thermos will be more convenient. The things in the bag are not worth much, so you can accept them! My parents and eldest brother want to come to our house to thank us in a while, so you can see if it's convenient for you."
When Pan Yumei heard that Xie Zhenghe was coming, her whole body trembled.
"You're welcome, my girl. You can come to eat if you want, but please don't take anything. I'm not a cheapskate. It's scary that you always bring so many things when you come to my house. In this year, we should store more food at home because we have to eat the autumn harvest."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll listen to you. Isn't this what Big Brother wanted? He's a grown man with three children. It would be so pitiful if a person lost his children. As Big Brother's sister-in-law, I'm not only saving Big Brother, but also my three poor nephews and nieces."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt sad. They were all pitiful people, but no matter how pitiful they were, they had to take so much food rations. She knew in her heart that the girl in front of her said this just to make her accept it.
When Su Li was riding her bicycle, the little thing kept waving her hands at the door and calling her, "Auntie, goodbye, ride slowly on the road."
Children from poor families become independent early and are as knowledgeable as her own children. She missed her children a lot after not seeing them for a few days.
After returning to the hospital, Su Li told Xie Zhengchuan and Xie Zhenghe what happened today.
"She didn't want to beg for mercy. From what I could see, she was disillusioned with the Pan family. She also said that Pan Jiabao was guilty and no one could save him."
Xie Zhenghe rubbed his brows and said, "I was wrong. I originally thought that she was also Pan Jiabao's sister. If she asked for mercy, I should have forgiven her. But I forgot that she is different. She doesn't care about these trivial things. She is a principled person!"
Xie Zhengchuan said: "In that case, I will arrange for someone to come over tomorrow."
"Tuo! Thank you for your hard work."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Isn't this the way it should be? Don't think too much about it. Just take care of yourself. Later, our whole family will come to the Liu family to thank you."
Xie Zhenghe's eyes moved slightly, "Yes, yes, I will take good care of myself."
The next day, after hiding at home for two days and finding nothing to show for it, Pan Jiabao was caught by the police. When he was taken away, he was still holding a chicken drumstick in his hand and yelled at Pan Zhaodi, who was hanging clothes at the door.
"You shameless woman, it's all your fault. Damn it, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have beaten Xie Zhenghe. You are a jinx, a black-hearted woman, no wonder people don't want you. Don't think I don't know. You pretend to be aggrieved, but you have actually slept with Zhou Daguo a long time ago. You slut, bitch, I'm going to kill you."
The police officer's face darkened when he heard him throwing a tantrum, "Behave yourself."
Unfortunately, Pan Jiabao is not obedient now. He doesn't want to go to the police station. He wants to have money and a job.
"Mom! Dad! Save me, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to be in trouble, it's all Pan Zhaodi's fault, she is a troublemaker, a bad woman, mom..."
The police pulled Pan Jiabao's hands away from his father and mother. Pan's mother fell to the ground and said, "Son! My dear, please let him go! Oh, how can I live..."
"Jiabao, Jiabao, comrades! You can't arrest him. Xie Zhenghe is his brother-in-law. He is just joking. He is the lifeblood of our Pan family! Let him go!"
The police comrades were used to seeing this kind of parents, so they immediately took Pan Jiabao to the car and drove away.
Pan's father took over and threw away the clothes in Pan Zhaodi's hand, "Your brother is about to go to jail because of you, and you still have the mood to hang the clothes here, do you have any heart?"
As he said this, he slapped Pan Zhaodi in the face.
"You are a trouble maker! You are a money-loser. Our Pan family is brought down by you, my son! My poor son."
Pan Zhaodi touched her face, combed her hair and said, "Mom and Dad, don't cry or feel sad. I am the only one who can take care of you now. You scolded my elder sister and my younger sister so much that they can't come home anymore. You have severed your relationship with the fourth child. Jiabao won't be sentenced for long. Xie Zhenghe has a long life ahead of him. When I get married, I will give you 10 yuan a month as pension. After Pan Jiabao is released, I will ask Daguo to find him a job."
After listening to Pan Zhaodi's words, Pan's mother wiped away her tears and stopped crying. What's the use of crying? Everything has been paid. She doesn't care whether a few money-losing people in the family come to visit or not. In the future, she will have 10 yuan of pension money every month, and Jiabao can still have a job. He will be released after a few years of labor reform. When she has money in her hands, she can find any daughter-in-law she wants.
Thinking of this, Pan's mother was very cautious towards Pan Zhaodi, fearing that the 10 yuan she was about to hand over would suddenly be gone.
Father Pan also lowered his head and pondered. In order not to show his indifference, he glared at Pan Zhaodi and turned to leave. Widow Chen at the end of the village asked him to have a drink in the evening, so he had to go and see.
Pan Zhaodi looked at her father's receding back with cold eyes. Her mother was always the first to take charge of everything at home, but in fact, her father was the most hateful one.
