Li Yingnan was still sleeping, and judging from her complexion, she seemed to have recovered.
"Uncle Zhang, how is she? Is she serious?"
"Xiaoqing, why are you asking her? You..."
Old Mrs. Li was afraid that Su Qing would default on the debt, so she quickly told him the whole story.
"Uncle Zhang, you just heard about the situation. Just tell me how much the medical expenses are and I'll pay you." Su Qing felt his pocket and found that he still had a few dollars, which should be enough to pay.
"It won't cost much. She has acute enteritis. She can take some medicine, go home and drink some salt water, and she'll be fine in a day or two."
When Mrs. Li heard that it wouldn't cost much, she got angry and said, "Old Zhang, take another good look at the child. He looks so bad, there must be something else wrong with him."
"What's wrong with your granddaughter? Her biggest problem is malnutrition. Look at her. She's only four years old, but her arms aren't even as thick as your grandson's who's only a few months old."
Old Mrs. Li looked at the exposed arms of Li Jindan behind her. They were chubby and looked like lotus root nodes.
Looking at Li Yingnan's bony arms, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
"The medicine is fifty cents a pack. I'll prescribe two more doses for her. Take one tonight before bed and one every morning. Remember to eat a light diet."
Su Qing quickly took out the money from his pocket.
Old Mrs. Li stared straight at Su Qing's pocket.
But she saw that there were five dollars in it.
"My granddaughter is in this state now. How is she going to work and earn work points tomorrow?"
"It doesn't matter. We, the Su family, help her earn the work points she usually earns."
"Ten work points." Old Mrs. Li said without hesitation.
Su Qing slammed his palm on the table, and everyone in the room was startled.
Old Mrs. Li was shocked and dazed, and she tried to comfort her grandson behind her in a panic.
"Mrs. Li, our family bears most of the responsibility for this matter. We are willing to compensate you, but that doesn't mean we are willing to let you take advantage of us. Do you dare to say that your granddaughter has no responsibility at all in this matter?"
"A girl under four years old can earn ten work points a day. Who would believe me? Four centimeters is too much."
Uncle Zhang chimed in. "My son, a grown man, only earns eight or nine work points a day."
"Four work points. Accountant Liao will record it at your home tomorrow. You can check it anytime."
"I didn't mean to blackmail you. It was just a slip of the tongue." Old Lady Li was still stubborn. "Please help me take her back. We'll earn our work points tomorrow and we'll owe each other nothing."
"That's better, Uncle Zhang, you can be my witness."
Li Yingnan was really light, and Su Qing walked very fast while holding her.
It’s just that Li Yingnan smells bad, and she was sneezing all the way.
After sending Li Yingnan back to the Li family, Su Qing immediately returned home to settle the score with Xiaowu.
It’s okay for children to play with each other, but there must be boundaries and they can’t be too careless.
Li Yingnan is now dehydrated. If her condition gets worse, she might even go into shock. What if she is allergic to chili peppers, it would be a matter of life and death.
Xiaowu also knew that he had done something wrong, so he dropped his head and knelt on the ground.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please slap my palm."
Looking at Xiaowu's outstretched hand, Su Qing hit it hard.
"Does it hurt?"
Xiaowu nodded.
"If it hurts, it'll teach me a lesson. Think about the consequences before you tease others. Okay, get up, wash your hands, and get ready for dinner. After you've eaten, give me a verbal self-criticism."
The next day, Old Lady Li was so happy that she stared at Xiaowu's red and purple knees.
She thought the Su family would not beat children.
"Jindan, look how good grandma is to you. She doesn't even dare to say a harsh word to you. Look at the guy next door. His knees are all purple from kneeling. How cruel must he be to do that to him? Or will you be reborn and be born in our blessed home, the Li family?"
Li Jindan was only four or five months old. How could he understand what Old Lady Li was saying? He just babbled and blew bubbles.
Li Lai'nan, who was living under the eaves, was angry when he saw how much Old Lady Li loved her grandson.
He unconsciously increased the strength with which he cut the pig grass.
The dong dong dong sound seemed to knock on Old Mrs. Li's heart.
"You're going to die! You have too much energy and you have no where to use it, so you wash your brother's diaper."
Li Lai'nan's arrogance was instantly extinguished.
"Zhaonan, is the rice soup ready? Your brother is hungry."
Li Zhaonan and Li Niuniu, who were eating secretly in the kitchen, were so scared that they almost spilled the rice soup in their bowls.
He quickly wiped his mouth and said, "It's cooked."
"It's cooked, why don't you serve it to your brother? Wait for me to treat you?"
Li Zhaonan did not dare to delay and came to Old Lady Li with a bowl of freshly cooked rice soup.
Old Mrs. Li subconsciously went to catch it and stood up because of the burn.
"You have a pig's head, who do you want to burn to death?"
"Granny, you asked me to bring it out quickly."
Old Lady Li was choked by Li Zhaonan. "Just leave it there, and go back to work. Don't even think about being lazy."
Li Zhaonan put his red, scalded fingers into his mouth and called out incoherently to Li Niuniu to go get grass for the pigs.
At night, after a crazy day of fun, Li Yingnan finally decided to go home.
Before Mrs. Li could even speak, Li Lai'nan started scolding her.
"Hey, you still remember to come back? I thought you were so busy playing that you even forgot which way our front door opens. You follow other kids around like a little tail all day long. Look at how capable you are.
Don't you see who you are? They don't have to do any work, they can go home and eat when they are tired of playing. What about you? "
Li Yingnan turned a deaf ear to Li Lainan's words.
She finally doesn't have to work today, it would be a shame if she doesn't play for a while.
She even wanted to be teased by Xiaowu a few more times. There was food to eat and no work to do. Her legs were just numb from squatting.
