Chapter 216: Coma
"It was only when you mentioned the college entrance examination that I remembered this. I don't know if you know him, but there's a man named Lu Zhou who also wanted to take the college entrance examination this year. The Du family behind him... that Du family."
Aunt Nie didn't hold a grudge against the Du family when they mentioned it. Although they had to pay out 10,000 yuan, it wasn't anyone else's fault. However, she still disapproved of some of the Du family's practices. "Mrs. Du had her eyes on Lu Zhou as a son-in-law and was insisting on him marrying her daughter before the college entrance exam. Lu Zhou said the exam was more important, and the Du family agreed. Then, while the Lu family wasn't paying attention, they hid his admission ticket."
Erhe knew that Lu Zhou had returned to his place of academic registration to take the exam. She thought that it was only a few days away from the college entrance examination, so there wouldn't be any accidents.
I didn't expect the Du family to be so persistent.
"And what happened next?"
After studying hard for many years and having the college entrance examination interrupted in the middle, it is really not easy for candidates to take the college entrance examination.
Aunt Nie sighed, "They probably had a quarrel, or the Du family threw their admission tickets downstairs, or something like that, and Lu Zhou went to pick it up and broke his head. He's still lying in the hospital unconscious."
"Is it that serious?"
It's been several days, and if the person hasn't woken up yet, his life might be in danger.
"Oh, or else it's a sin. I have no prejudice against the Du family, but this person's style is too snobbish. Everything must go her way, and she wants to take all the benefits. I understand wanting to find a good marriage for my daughter, but you can't force others to this point. Now it's good, both sides are hurt, it's a pity for this kid from the Lu family."
After leaving Nie's house, Erhe returned to Ku Shui Village first.
She had agreed in advance to go home today, and her family must be waiting for her. If she suddenly didn't go back, Village Chief He and Wang Xiu would definitely be worried.
There was no phone at that time, so we couldn’t notify anyone casually.
Erhe hurried back to Ku Shui Village, and sure enough, Wang Xiu was already waiting at the entrance of the village. When she saw her coming back, she hurried up to pick up her things.
"I calculated that I should have returned an hour earlier. Why are you so late? Did you encounter any danger on the way?"
"No, I went to my grandma's."
"I'm glad you're okay. Let's go home."
Wang Xiu was very happy when his daughter-in-law came back. He bought fish and killed chicken, and the table was full of rich dishes. He also invited Zou Zhou and Li Xi to stay at home for dinner, and the party was very lively.
After dinner.
Zou Zhou handed her the account book, which contained the expenditure and income for the past month. Erhe went to the small room and saw that it was no different from when she left. Everything inside was neatly arranged, with the fabrics on one side and the finished clothes on the other. There were three sewing machines in the middle.
Every note in the account is also very clear.
"And this money, five hundred and thirty yuan, Erhe, all of this is yours."
During this period of time, Erhe has not made clothes. She earns money from the commission of each piece of clothing, so the profit is naturally not high.
But Erhe didn't mind. This model would not last long. Whether it was Wang Xiu, Zou Zhou, Li Xi or Su's mother, if they really opened a workshop or a factory in the future, they would still have to rely on them for support. Erhe took the money and looked at the account book. Every entry was clear and substantial, and the records were clear. There was no problem.
"You guys did pretty well while I was away."
They were all a little nervous, but when they heard this, they burst out laughing.
"Then we feel relieved. You know what, when you were not around, we felt like we had no backbone and were very panicked. Fortunately, Zou Zhou was a capable girl. At night, it was her and her sister-in-law who secretly delivered the goods to the warehouse." Wang Xiu had something to say. Zou Zhou was indeed a good girl. The Li family was lucky to marry her.
It just so happened that Erhe also had something to say to Zou Zhou.
The two of them came to Erhe's room. Knowing that she was coming back, Wang Xiu cleaned it inside and out, and dried the quilt in the sun until it became fluffy and fragrant.
Pulling Zou Zhou to sit on the chair, Erhe didn't keep him in suspense, "You still remember Lu Zhou, right?"
The three of them were classmates at that time, so Zou Zhou certainly remembered them.
"I remember that I once met him when I went to the county town. He said he was going to take the college entrance examination. I wonder how he did."
Erhe told Zou Zhou about the incident, and Zou Zhou was also shocked. "What the Du family did is too much. If Lu Zhou can really get into university and get a good job after graduation, wouldn't Du Ruoyun also enjoy the benefits if she married him? Why don't they let him take the exam?"
"My grandma said he's still unconscious. I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow to check on him. Can you come with me?"
If the two of them went together, they could avoid rumors. Erhe had already experienced the character of Du's mother.
"Look at what you said. We're all classmates. It's okay if we didn't know before, but now that we know, of course we have to go visit. Should we buy some fruit? Or why not give us some money? Five or ten yuan is also a token of our appreciation."
Erhe also planned this. After all, they knew each other, and it would be a shame if she knew about it but didn't go to visit.
The two of them made an appointment to rest for a night, and then rode their bicycles to the county town and went straight to the county hospital the next day.
It was easy to find out about Lu Zhou's situation. The news had already spread throughout the county, and everyone knew that there was a particularly pitiful boy who was now lying unconscious in the hospital.
Erhe said that her classmates came to see her. The nurse readily pointed out the ward number and said that many classmates had come to see her recently.
Anyone who hears such a thing will feel uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the ward, Erhe and Zou Zhou looked at each other and made full mental preparations before going in.
In the double room ward, there was an empty bed next to it.
Lu Zhou was lying on the bed by the window. There was a thermos and a few apples on the cabinet beside the bed.
There was no one in the ward. The nurse said that Lu Zhou's mother could only come after work.
Although his son suffered a severe blow, the family still had to live. Lu Zhou was not the only child in the family, so even if he was sad, he could not give up a normal life.
Erhe and Zou Zhou also sighed after hearing this.
They said they came to visit, but Lu Zhou was lying there with his eyes closed, and he didn't respond no matter what anyone said.
"This..." Zou Zhou had never seen such a situation before, and was immediately shocked and frightened. "Erhe, do you think he can wake up?"
Erhe was not sure either. "Let's go find a doctor and ask about the situation."
To be honest, Erhe knew Dr. Chen in the hospital in the county. He had treated Li Xi's leg before and was a classmate of Nie's eldest sister. When she went to Dr. Chen's office, she found him unexpectedly and was quite excited to see her.
"You came just in time. If you don't come over, I will go find you."
Under Erhe's strange gaze, Doctor Chen opened a drawer and took out a letter. "Student Lu was still somewhat conscious before he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He asked me to give it to you with this envelope. Please take a look."
