Chapter 110 Unconscious
It was like this outside. The people in the room had heard it for a long time. If it had been in peace, Mrs. Xu would have rushed out to stop him, but today it was abnormal. I don't know if she had died of Xu's second brother, but he still wanted the old man to vent. Instead, he stopped Xu Laosi and said, "Don't go out first. Now go to persuade him, your father still Don't even fight with you? Your second brother is too out of the style this time. It's good to let your father teach him a lesson. The sound of beating outside became louder and louder, but Xu Laoer's voice gradually faded down.
Xu Lingzi couldn't help it first. After all, she was also her own brother and said anxiously, "Mom, why can't you hear the voice of the second brother? Don't break it, right?
Old Mrs. Xu was worried and quickly sent Xu Laosi out to see what was going on.
Xu Laoshi ran out quickly and saw that the old man Xu's eyes were red. He was as crazy. The firewood in his hand was raised high and fell heavily, and Xu Laoer lay on the ground and next to him without moving, almost as if he were dead.
"Dad! Stop fighting and kill people again!" Xu Laosi pulled his neck and shouted, rushed to hug the old man Xu and dragged him back.
Xu Lingzi also came out of the room. Seeing this situation, she was so scared that she was scared. She rolled over and crawled over, turned Xu Laoer over and probed his nose. Then she collapsed as if she was relieved, wiped her sweat and nodded to Xu Laosi and said, "It's still angry!"
X Laosi dragged the old man back into the room and poured him a cup of herbal tea. As he drank it, the blood in his eyes receded slightly, and his body was not as tight as before. Then his heart was relieved and said carefully, "Dad, the second brother was beaten very hard. Shall I go and ask the doctor to show him? "
Old man Xu's eyes stared, and the tea bowl "slamed" on the table and broke into several pieces: "What's the name of a doctor? What's the use of beating him to death? What's the use of living? It's not enough to humiliate the family!"
Seeing that the old man was really angry, he didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly changed his words and said, "Dad, don't be so generous with your second brother. It's not worth it. Your mother has been angry. If you are also angry, what should we do?"
Old man Xu closed his eyes and said nothing more.
When Chen saw this situation, how could he dare to stay any longer? On the pretext that he should not go back to cook early, he ran home quickly.
Xu Laosi cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the table, and then quietly slipped out of the room and placed Xu Laoer on the kang in the east wing with Lingzi. Seeing that he was still unconscious, his face was blue and blue, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help worrying.
"Fourth brother, what should I do? What did Dad say? Do you have to ask the doctor to have a look quickly? Don't hit the head or get an internal injury, right? Xu Lingzi said with tears.
"I just said that I would invite a doctor, and my father got angry and smashed the tea bowl. I dare not say anything more. You take care of it here first. I'll quietly ask the doctor. It's best if I can prescribe some medicine. If not, we can think of other ways." Xu Laosi whispered.
Xu Lingzi had no idea now. Naturally, she listened to what Xu Laosi said. She twisted a handkerchief to wipe Xu Laoer's face and shouted a few times. Seeing that there was no response at all, tears slid down her cheeks again.
Xu Laosi came back after going for a long time and sneaked in and asked, "How's it going? Are you awake?"
"Fourth brother, why have you been there for so long!" Xu Lingzi complained anxiously, "The second brother hasn't woken up yet. Is there really something wrong?"
"I don't think so..." Xu Laoshi is not a doctor. He comforted him randomly, "Those naughty kids in the village have been beaten by their families since childhood. Who do you see is really beaten by their families?"
He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "This is the medicine the doctor just gave me. He said that I should wipe it for my second brother first. You can help me change the basin of warm water. I will wipe his body and then apply the medicine. As a girl's family, don't be in front of you. Go back to the room to help me look at the wind. Second, if there is a chance, I will do it. I persuaded my father that although the second brother was wrong, this matter has already happened. Just let him know the lesson. Let's expose it as soon as possible..."
"How can I persuade my father..." Xu Lingzi muttered in a low voice, but still mixed a basin of warm water, took a clean hand towel to Xu Laosi, and went back to the main room to see how old man Xu was doing now.
Old man Xu was in the room and said to his wife, "Mr. Li Zheng helped mediation for a long time today, and finally decided to ask the second brother to apologize to the He family, and then our family will also compensate the money for the He family..."
"Why do we have to lose money?" As soon as Mrs. Xu heard this, she burst out, "Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If the daughter-in-law of the He family is good, how can she hook up with the second brother? Why do you want us to lose money?" I also want to say that the fox charming son of his family has ruined my good son!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Do you still want to be ashamed?" Old Xu said angrily, "The He family is also a relatively big surname in the village, so can we win over a large family? Do you think I'm willing to make others small? Isn't it for this family? What have you done in the past? If you hadn't been used to Lao Si like this, he would have made such a big basket?
"Are you still blaming me?" If it hadn't been for her poor health, Mrs. Xu would have jumped up from the kang. "When Lao Si recited the book, there was a saying that whether to raise him or not and the father's fault. The book said that it was the fault of being a father to give birth to a son well. What did you blame me for? I'll give birth to a daughter and work on the ground. That's the son of your old Xu family. Now you've come to blame me for the basket?"
Old man Xu was choked and couldn't think of anything to refute. Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by Mrs. Xu's momentum. His tone slowed down and said, "Anyway, many people in the village already knew about the second brother's gambling before. They already thought he was not a good person. How long has it been since he has had such a shameless thing? I don't know if you are recovering at home. People outside are saying that it's the second brother, right?
"I also did this to calm down. We can no longer ease our relationship with the old He family, but we can't make enemies for the second brother, can we? We have other sons who want to live!" Old Xu said at the end, sighed long and leaned against the back of the chair with a tired expression. He seemed to be several years old.
When Mrs. Xu feels reasonable, she is completely a hardy donkey and can only smooth her hair. If the needle is pointed at her, her momentum will definitely rise, but if the other party shows weakness appropriately, her anger will subdue faster than anyone else.
Seeing that the old man took the soft first, Mrs. Xu immediately felt sorry for her man. After most of their lives, she knew the old man's face and fear of being looked down upon. Now although she bowed her head for her son, she definitely didn't know how uncomfortable it would be.
"Well, anyway, it's already like this, so you can relax." Mrs. Xu comforted, "The second child is a little nonsense, but he is not bad-hearted, and he still knows filial piety. In the future, we will be strict. When the second daughter-in-law comes out with a son, he will definitely know the burden on his shoulders and will always get better."
"Those are still a later story. Now I'm still thinking about what to do if I want to compensate the He family. Now where can I get the money, and I'm going to be busy with farming. I'm afraid the family's work is too busy, and I can't go out to make money." Old man Xu rubbed his temples annoyance and said.
"Can't you owe it first and give it after the autumn harvest? Are the He family going to force people to die? Mrs. Xu calculated that the remaining money in the cabinet was only one or two hundred copper coins at most. She didn't know how to get three pieces of money.
"The He family only said to give it to them as soon as possible, but this is not a glorious thing. Since they said they would lose money, then give it to them as soon as possible, otherwise I won't even have the face to go out!" Old man Xu groaned angrily, "I've heard a lot of a lot of runs today. I don't want the grandchildren of the He family to poke their spines and scold me anymore."
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she became worried and hit her relatives back and forth twice, but she didn't think of anyone who could borrow money.
Don't say anything about your mother's family. Last time I didn't go back to my mother's house for a few days, it turned out to be like that. If you go back to borrow money, wouldn't it be a mess for your mother's brother?
Chen's mother's family used to have some foundation, but later her mother's father broke his waist and collapsed on the kang and could not get up. It has been several years. It is estimated that the family's little money has also been used to see a doctor. What's more, Chen has just conceived a child, and it's time to take care of the fetus quietly, and shouldn't use these bad things to add obstacles to her.
Not to mention Li's mother's family, let alone borrow money, and it's good for others to know these bullshit.
Continue to think about it, it seems that there is only the third daughter-in-law. The Ye family is not rich, but it has always been rich. Just when Ye gave birth to a child and later became ill, the Ye family made up a lot of things for her daughter. It seems that she should be a little rich.
Thinking of this, she said to the old man Xu, "His father, I've been thinking about it for a long time and let my third daughter-in-law go home to borrow it? What do you think of selling grain and returning it to others after the autumn harvest?
Old man Xu thought about it for a moment and knew that only Ye's family might be able to borrow money, but he felt that several daughters-in-law should still be treated equally, so he said, "Let the old people and the old three families go home and borrow it, so as not to make people feel that we can be bullied by the third daughter-in-law."
"I also thought of this just now, but you don't know that the eldest daughter-in-law has a body today. I'm not afraid that these bad things will cause her trouble. What if she moves the fetal gas?" Mrs. Xu told the old man about her concerns.
When old man Xu heard this, he became happy and patted his thigh and said, "Does the eldest daughter-in-law also have it? This is really the blessing of the Buddha and the protection of the ancestors. When the big fat grandson is born, I would like to see what maggots can chew in the back!"
