Only then did Xie's mother realize that her youngest son might have just eaten and might still be hungry, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Su Li could see that Xie's mother was feeling uneasy.
"No, Mom, it will be the same when Zhengchuan comes back later, don't worry."
"Hey! Then I'll go back first. Your eldest brother's three children are eating with him. If he doesn't come back, the children won't eat either."
"His mother."
Xie Zhengchuan was eating buns while riding his bike. He knew his elder brother's temper and knew that he would not usually have conflicts with others. Although Pan Zhaodi was not a bad person, she was a person who knew how to deal with things.
Given his temper, he didn't want to let this woman go at all. She had tortured his brother so much, and also exhausted his parents and his wife.
But my nephews and nieces are still young and don’t understand.
When they grow up, they will have to get married and start a family. It's hard to let others know that their mother has been in prison. It's okay for Lai Fu, as he is a boy, but what about Xiangzhi and Xianglan? They are girls and will marry into other families to live. It's not like he hasn't seen some mothers-in-law in the village who appear sweet on the outside but are actually bitter at heart, secretly harassing their own daughters-in-law and making their parents unable to find fault with them.
When my daughter complains, I think it's because I have too many children, they are restless and living an unhappy life. Little do I know how difficult life is for my own children.
Therefore, for the sake of his two nieces, he had to give Pan Zhaodi a chance. He would treat her as dead in the future. He and Su Li would love the children more. He believed that his second brother and sister-in-law also thought so and would be kind to the two children.
Thinking of this, he rode faster and faster. After a while, he vaguely heard someone calling for help.
"Is there anyone here? Someone is injured here, come quickly! Help~"
The sound was faint, and the figure seemed to be just ahead.
Soon, I saw a thinly dressed woman in front of me, struggling to drag a man. Her waist was bent and her shoulders were oozing blood, which was glaring through her dark-colored clothes.
Xie Zhengchuan looked at him straight in the eye. The man being dragged was clearly dressed like his elder brother, Xie Zhenghe!
"Brother?"
Xie Zhengchuan hurriedly got off the bike, turned around and looked at the man with his head wrapped on the ground.
"Brother, brother, wake up, I'm Zhengchuan, what happened to him, why is he injured?"
"I don't know. I saw him on the side of the road. He was seriously injured. Send him to the hospital quickly."
Xie Zhengchuan picked up Xie Zhenghe as he was told. "What about you? Comrade, you are also injured. Come to the hospital with me! You are the benefactor of our family. I can't just leave you alone."
"I don't have any, take him to the hospital."
Xie Zhenghe's face was pale and he lowered his head. The situation was urgent, so Xie Zhengchuan didn't say much. He tied Xie Zhenghe and himself together with his scarf and rode away on his bicycle.
Pan Yumei brought the vine and sat down on the ground. Many strands of the vine had pierced into the flesh of her palms. She was crying while picking off the strands.
Her tears flowed more and more. She was worried about Xie Zhenghe, but she didn't dare to look at him a second time. She knew that it was impossible for her to be with him in this life. She picked up the cotton jacket on the ground and put it on slowly. When she raised her arm, the wound on her shoulder was torn fiercely.
She was numb from the pain.
After Xie Zhenghe was sent to the emergency room, he came out three hours later. The operation was very successful, but because the injury was to the back of the head, he needed to be observed for a period of time. He might experience symptoms such as vomiting when he wakes up.
Xie Zhengchuan wrote them down one by one. When the doctor asked him to pay, he realized that he didn't bring any money. Mainly because the doctor looked at Xie Zhenghe's scars and looked frighteningly serious, he was too busy worrying about his elder brother.
He rarely showed any signs of illness after joining the army. He borrowed the hospital's phone number to call the brigade and found Su Li. He briefly described what had happened, but he himself didn't know what had happened specifically.
Su Li entrusted the child to Xie's father and mother, and did not dare to tell them what happened, for fear of worrying them. However, Xie's mother vaguely felt that something had happened. Su Li borrowed the village chief's bicycle and rushed to the hospital.
Only after I paid the fee at the hospital did I have time to ask about the details.
"That comrade's shoulder was bleeding. He was pulling the vines without gloves, so he must have been badly injured. He was in critical condition at the time. I didn't have time to ask his name, and I don't know where he lives. Sigh!"
"What can we do? He's still injured. But it's not your fault. You and my brother are two men. You can't let him come to the hospital with you two in a car! If gossip spreads, how will he live in the future? But don't worry. When my brother wakes up, ask him if he knows."
"That's the only way."
The two of them waited until after ten o'clock in the evening, but Xie Zhenghe didn't wake up. Xie Zhengchuan was afraid that Su Li was too tired, so he asked the night shift head nurse of the hospital to borrow a lounge and stuffed two dollars into her pocket. The nurse was very happy.
Anyway, I don’t need the bed in the lounge, and I can still earn 20 yuan, which is a huge benefit.
Su Li couldn't rest in someone else's bed in the hospital, so she locked the door, went into the space, washed up, and slept in the room in the courtyard.
Su Li woke up at around six in the morning. After washing up, she had breakfast in the space and drank a large glass of spiritual spring water. This care was not an easy job. If she didn't have the energy, she would be exhausted sooner or later. And looking at Xie Zhenghe's condition, he would not be able to be discharged from the hospital in a day or two.
Su Li found an old-fashioned thermos in the space and filled it with porridge cooked with spiritual spring water, and also packed a breakfast in an aluminum lunch box.
She was also afraid that Xie Zhengchuan would be tired, and the spiritual spring water would be much more helpful.
Xie Zhengchuan dozed off on a stool next to his eldest brother's bed last night. He was too tall, and his legs had been bent all night, causing his waist to ache badly. This was more tiring than training. However, he also knew that his current physical condition was a sequelae of the injury, and it was no longer the same as before.
Su Li gave him breakfast. He was indeed a little hungry. He looked at his wife tenderly. He felt that his wife was really considerate now, unlike when he just came back.
He didn't know why, but after he finished breakfast, he felt much more relaxed. His waist and legs no longer hurt. He stood up and stretched, feeling much more comfortable.
The doctor examined Xie Zhenghe and said that he was in good condition, but it might take two days for him to wake up. And whether there would be any sequelae would only be known after he woke up, so he needed to be observed.
Xie Zhengchuan was accompanying him in the ward. Su Li borrowed the hospital's phone to report to Xie's father and mother that they were safe and that they would be home a few days later.
Xie Zhenghe opened his eyes three days later. When he saw his third brother and his wife, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. "Where am I?"
Xie Zhengchuan heard the voice and rushed forward to check, "Brother, you are awake, we are in the hospital, how do you feel?"
Xie Zhenghe looked at his third brother's concerned tone and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Su Li held a spoon and a bowl of warm water, "Brother, you can't eat now, drink some water first, and then you can have some simple porridge in the evening."
The so-called warm water was actually spiritual spring water. Su Li also hoped that Xie Zhenghe could recover soon. She, her elder uncle, had a gentle personality and she didn't know why he had suffered such a great misfortune.
Xie Zhenghe took a few sips from the spoon and felt his mind was much clearer.
He scanned the ward with his eyes, and hesitated to speak: "Am I the only one here? Zhengchuan, no one else?"
Xie Zhengchuan and Su Li looked at each other and said, "Brother, do you remember who saved you? And how did you get so badly injured?"
Xie Zhenghe slowly told Xie Zhengchuan about his visit to the Pan family and how Pan Jiabao chased him and injured people. He reached into his clothes and handed over Tiedan and Baoya's passbooks and subsidy certificates, as well as the money repaid by Pan Zhaodi, which were kept close to his body, to Xie Zhengchuan.
They were placed close to him, and Pan Jiabao was in a hurry so he didn't search his body, otherwise these things would have been taken away for sure.
"Don't worry, big brother. I will personally lead people to the Pan family this time."
Xie Zhenghe nodded, "The person who saved me was Pan Yumei, she is also Pan Jiabao's sister."
"Pan Yumei?" Xie Zhengchuan asked.
"Yes, I woke up once in the middle and I could tell it was her."
"She is a woman of affection and loyalty." Xie Zhengchuan praised her.
Xie Zhenghe looked at him eagerly, and Xie Zhengchuan felt amused, because he had never seen this expression on his elder brother.
But Pan Yumei was really stupid. Such a frail and thin woman actually dragged her elder brother for such a long distance.
When Xie Zhenghe heard that her shoulder was bleeding and she was wearing thin clothes, with the only cotton jacket she was wearing covering herself, his eyes suddenly turned red. He knew that Yumei had always been very kind and that he had let her down. It was all his fault. She was a very mean woman, and even though she lived in a family like that, she was still very mean by nature.
"Then do you know where she is now? She is also injured, and she came to save me. I can't just leave her alone like this."
Xie Zhengchuan paused as he watched the drama. "I was only concerned about your injury at the time, and it was inconvenient for me to take her with me on my bike. She also kept urging me to hurry up. I saw that she didn't want to come to the hospital with us. I thought about visiting her later to thank her, but I didn't know where she lived."
"Well...I might know."
"Um?"
Su Li said seriously, "Brother, I told you that I visited her home before. Did you forget? I will visit her tomorrow to see how serious her injuries are. If they are serious, I will definitely drag her to the hospital. Also, you are recovering from your injuries. It is not appropriate for you to visit her home alone. Others will gossip about you. When the time comes, Zhengchuan, my parents and I will accompany you. This will be good for both her and you."
Xie Zhenghe's eyes moistened: "Hey! Listen to my sister-in-law, listen to my sister-in-law."
