Chapter 103 Phlegm Blocks the Heart
The two brothers went to the old house to wake up old man Xu and said something like this after he came out.
Before he heard the old man Xu's words, there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the room. Xu Laosan hurried into the room and saw Mrs. Xu fainting to the ground.
"Mother!" Xu Laosan shouted and quickly said, "Brother, give me a hand and carry my mother to the kang first."
There was a mess here, and Xu Laosi and Lingzi were also woken up, all dressed in clothes and came out to check the situation.
Old man Xu's face was pale, and he couldn't even deal with his temper for a while. He put up with it and said, "Lao San, you and Lingzi stay at home to take care of your mother. Lao Si quickly go and ask the doctor. Boss, come with me to Lizheng's house."
With his hands behind his back, he turned around and walked out.
Boss Xu looked at Mrs. Xu worriedly.
"Brother, I'm here to take care of you. Go with your father." Although Lingzi didn't know what to do in Lizheng's house, she looked at the ugly faces of her father and two brothers, knew what should have happened, and did not ask too much.
Xu Laosi went back to the house to change his clothes and put on his shoes. After grabbing some money, he quickly ran to invite the doctor. Fortunately, the doctor in the village did not go out and quickly invited people back.
At this time, Mrs. Xu had woken up, but she was still a little chaotic and not awake. She leaned in Lingzi's arms in a daze, gasped with her mouth half open, snoring phlegm in her throat, grabbed the skirt of her chest with both hands, and breathing was very difficult.
Xu Laosan was patting her back and touching her chest. Seeing the doctor coming, he quickly got up and said, " Doctor, come and show my mother. What's the matter?"
The doctor stepped forward to make a pulse, then opened Mrs. Xu's eyelids and asked her to stick out her tongue to have a look.
At this time, I don't know whether Mrs. Xu can understand or not, but she can't. She spit out her tongue. She only tried to gasp, but her tongue refused to stick out.
Xu Laosan had no choice but to coax her for a long time, so he had to reach out and gently break her jaw and let her open her mouth so that the doctor could see the color of her tongue.
The doctor looked carefully and called Mrs. Xu a few times. Seeing that she had no reaction, he reached out and pulled her arm. Seeing that it was still powerful, he nodded to Xu Laosan.
Xu Laosan told Lingzi to take good care of Mrs. Xu, followed the doctor to the outside and asked anxiously, " Doctor, what's wrong with my mother?"
"The old lady is now unconscious, her pulse is slippery, the moss is white, and her throat is phlegm. If it's good, you should have received some strong stimulation just now, right? The doctor asked.
Xu Laosan looked embarrassed and nodded, "Well, I was a little angry with my brother, and then fainted directly."
Naturally, the doctor knew that it would not be as simple as giving birth, but this was someone else's business. Naturally, he would not investigate too much and nodded and said, "The old lady is phlegm blocking the heart. Fortunately, it is not serious, and I found it in time. I will prescribe a prescription and quickly take the medicine to decoct the medicine, and then I will give the old lady a few injections and wait for the medicine to be fried. After the hot service, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it should get better soon.
The doctor opened a prescription with a pen and gave it to Xu Laoshi and said, "Go to my house and ask my apprentice to grab the medicine. When you come back, add five bowls of water and soak a pot of incense. Then boil it over high heat and boil it slowly over low heat until there is only a bowl of water left."
"Okay, I'll go now." Xu Laosi went back to his room to get the money and quickly took the prescription and left.
The doctor took out the needle bag and went into the room to give an injection to Mrs. Xu. Seeing that the old lady's expression was relaxed and her breathing was much smoother, he collected the needle. After coming out, he explained to Xu Laosan alone: "The old lady is nothing serious now. The medicine she grabs is mainly to cleanse phlegm and enlighten her body. It should not be a big deal after three days. ."
Xu Laosan listened and nodded repeatedly and remembered everything the doctor said.
The doctor finally stressed seriously: "But you must pay attention that you must not make her angry during this period, otherwise it will not be so easy."
"Yes, yes, we must be careful." Xu Laosan agreed.
"Then I'll go back first. If there is anything, you can come to me." The doctor packed up his things, took the medical money and left.
Xu Laosi pushed the door in hotly: "Lingzi, come and boil the medicine. How's your mother?"
Lizi came out of the room, cleaned him up in a low voice, and whispered, "It's much better now. I'm asleep. You go into the room and watch it. I'll boil the medicine."
As soon as the medicine was boiled on the medicine hanger, Mr. Xu pushed the door open and came in, and his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
Xu Laoer followed behind with his head down and was kicked in by Boss Xu.
Old Xu bent down and picked up the fire stick, pulled Xu Laoer over without saying a word, and hit him in the face.
Xu Laoer was beaten and screamed, with tears and snot all over his face. He rolled on the ground and cried and shouted, "Dad, I was wrong. Don't hit me, Dad..."
Mrs. Xu in the room was woken up and heard the sound of her second son crying outside. She was so anxious that she raised her upper body hard and made a "hoho" sound in her throat.
Xu Laosi came forward to help Mrs. Xu and comforted her, "Mom, take a rest. It's okay. Lingzi is going to boil medicine for you."
Mrs Xu's chest was stuffy, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She couldn't speak, so she had to stare at the direction of the stove, reach out and push Lao Si, and pointed out hard.
"Mom, lie down, I'll go out and have a look." Xu Laoshi had no choice but to follow her wishes.
Old Mrs. Xu lay down again, but her eyes were still staring at Lao Si and refused to move away.
Xu Laosi got up and went out and saw that Xu Laosan was already dissuading Mr. Xu.
"Dad, the doctor said that my mother's illness can no longer be angry now, and don't teach a lesson now. The second brother has made mistakes now. Don't make your mother angry anymore."
Old man Xu clenched the fire stick tightly and hit it twice. Then he threw away the fire stick and said to Xu Laoer, "If you were put in the early years, you should be immersed in a pig cage and sink into the river. Now there is no such rule. I will teach you a few times, and you dare to scream. It's all spoiled by your mother!"
Xu Laosi quickly picked up the fire stick and put it away, so that the old man couldn't help beating people when he was angry and comforted him, "Dad, let's talk about teaching the second brother slowly. Now it's still important for my mother's illness. My mother heard the sound inside and was so anxious!"
Old man Xu snorted coldly and pointed to Xu Lao Er and said, "Stay at home honestly these days. Don't go anywhere. If I see you go out, I will cut off which foot. At worst, I will support you for the rest of my life, and save you from going out to humiliating the old Xu family!"
Xu Laoer curled up and held his head in the ground. He had been beaten by the people of the He family before. He finally ran out and was caught by Boss Guo and others. After arriving at Li Zheng's house, he was hit by He's crutches a few times. He was already covered with injuries. He was just now by the old man. Suddenly, there is no place on my body that doesn't hurt at this time. How dare I dare to ask for mercy? When I heard everything, I nodded and shouted randomly, "Dad, I'm wrong. I dare not. I really dare not..."
Lao Xu was so angry that he wanted to kick two more. At this time, Lingzi came in with a medicine bowl. Lao San and Lao Si quickly pulled the old man away and pushed him into the inner room with persuasively.
When Mrs. Xu saw the old man, she was a little relieved. She drank the medicine while Lingzi's hand was hot. She wondered how the second brother was doing now, but looking at the old man's ugly face, she did not dare to ask casually for fear of angering the old man again.
When old man Xu saw that his daughter-in-law was nothing serious, he said to several children, "The eldest and the third brother go home and have a rest. It's enough for Lao Si and Lingzi to take care of them. Just ask your daughter-in-law to change shifts tomorrow."
After thinking about it, he ordered, "Lingzi, go and tell your second sister-in-law that your mother is sick and wants the second brother to stay here for a few days. You go and accompany your second sister-in-law for a few days. She is inconvenient now. Don't tell her about this."
Old Xu muttered, "It's so noisy that the whole village will know it tomorrow. How can it be hidden..."
"What do you want to do?" Old man Xu was furious and shouted at his eldest son, "Now go and tell your sister-in-law that your man is stealing people outside? Can you open your mouth? Then go and say it..."
Boss Xu was scolded so much that he couldn't raise his head and didn't dare to make his father angry again. He quickly admitted his mistake and said that he had no brain.
Seeing that the eldest brother was scolded, Xu Laosan swallowed what he was going to say and whispered to Lao Si, "After all, Dad is old. I'm afraid he can't stay up late. Wake up at night and take good care of your mother. I'll ask your sister-in-law to replace you early tomorrow morning."
When old man Xu heard this, he felt a little comfortable and waved his hand and said, "There are still two small dignitaries in your house. Just let your sister-in-law come tomorrow morning."
"Dad, don't worry, we'll come over tomorrow morning." Xu Laoda was busy making a promise.
"All right, let's go. It gives me a headache to see a bunch of people here." Old man Xu drove the people out, collapsed on the kang with a long breath, slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of turbid tears slid down his cheeks.
He came out of his hometown to make a living. At first, he didn't even have money to eat and wear clothes. Later, he gradually had his own land, built a house, married a wife, and had children. For so many years, he has always been a strong face. He would rather be exhausted than be looked down on.
Now the family has gained a firm foothold in the village. Although there is no own grandson, it can also be regarded as a branch. I thought that when the youngest two children get married, they could put down the burden on their shoulders and live their retirement life more easily in the future. Who knew that such a thing happened now.
When he thought that when he went out tomorrow, there would be long-tongued people in the village pointing behind his back, and he felt a chill in his heart.
Mrs. Xu has been married for so many years, and the difficult days have survived. The first time she saw the old man's helpless and tired appearance, she couldn't care about her own suffering, tilted her body and crawled over, struggled to grab the old man Xu's hand, making a unclear voice in her throat, and tried to think To comfort him.
Xu Laosi closed the courtyard door outside. When he came back, he picked up the curtain and saw the old couple comforting each other. He quietly withdrew his footsteps and did not bother him.
