Chapter 20

Being jealous

It turned out that this man was the second leper who was idle in the village. The villagers didn't know how he fell down the hillside.

But the village chief became suspicious. Last night, the Lin family hurriedly came to him, saying that Lin Changlu was pushed down by a thief and hit his head.

Now I happen to find Er Lezi lying here again. This is all very strange.

He first asked the villagers to send Er Leizi home first, and then he went to Lin's house.

At this time, Lin Changlu had woken up, with a white cloth wrapped around his head.

"Changlu, are you okay here?"

"It's okay. Lili asked the doctor from the Lu family to come and see me. I had a cut and it bled a little. It will be fine in two days."

"This girl of yours is so considerate. You and she are both blessed."

"Yes, yes! What's the matter with the village chief?"

"I came here to ask, did you see clearly who entered your home last night?"

Lin Changlu shook his head, "It was too dark to see clearly, but I was sure he was a man. I hit him twice with a stick, and I heard his sound of pain."

The village chief frowned, "I probably know who it is."

Lin Changlu immediately sat up.

"who is it?"

"Today someone found a man lying on the ground at the foot of the steep slope at the east end of the village. I just went to see him. That man was the second leper in the village. He must have fallen from the hillside and hit the rocks on the ground.

I don’t know if I can save my life.”

"What, it's actually him!"

"He is used to sneaking around, and he doesn't know why he came to your house. I will ask Darong to follow me to Er Leizi's house later to see how he is doing. If he is alive, I will take him to report to the official."

"Okay, then I'll trouble the village chief."

As soon as the village chief left, Mrs. Pei cursed angrily, "Damn this scoundrel, he stole something and stole it into our house."

"Mom, he probably doesn't know what we have in our house! Why did he suddenly come to our house?"

"I also find it strange that he came here specifically to come to our house! No one should know about those things about our family. You haven't told anyone, have you?"

"No, we haven't told anyone."

Both Zhang and Yan said sincerely that they had not said anything to anyone else.

"That's strange."

Suddenly, Mrs. Pei saw the pastry box and slapped her thigh.

"Oh, I understand. Someone must have seen us carrying those things when we came back from the Lu family yesterday, so he targeted our home. After all, this silk is valuable."

Lin Changlu also nodded and said, "Xiuzhi, your guess is probably right."

Here, Lin Darong and the village chief went to Er Leizi's house.

There were many people watching the excitement standing outside their yard, and Er Lezi's mother was crying loudly in the house.

"Second brother, what happened to you? Why did you fall like this? How can your mother survive?"

After the village chief entered, he said to Er Leizi's mother: "Er Leizi, please stop crying. Have you asked the doctor to take a look at Er Leizi?"

"Where do I have the money to treat him? I don't have anything at home, and the doctors in the county are not willing to come. Village chief, please do a good job and save him!"

Seeing this, the village chief couldn't find anything to ask Er Leizi about what happened. He remembered that Lin Changlu said that the Lu family had a doctor, so he asked Er Leizi's mother to ask the Lu family's doctor to come and take a look at Er Leizi.

Lu Qingling couldn't stand Er Leizi's howling, so he asked his doctor to check on Er Leizi.

After the doctor made a diagnosis, he told Er Lep's mother that his left leg and right hand were broken, and his head hit a rock. Whether he could wake up depends on his luck, and even if he woke up, his hands and legs would still be damaged.

Even if you are cured, you will still be disabled.

The leper's mother fainted due to congestion in her head. The doctor gave her some sobering ointment and she woke up quickly.

After the doctor left, the village chief told Er Leizi's mother about Er Leizi breaking into Lin's house and stealing things.

Er Leizi's mother knew what her son was like, and it was really possible that she would do such a thing, but she would definitely protect her son.

He immediately yelled, "The Lin family is throwing dirty water on my son. My son must not do such a thing. The Lin family is so poor that even mice come out crying when they enter his house. What good things are there in the house! He is so red-mouthed and white-fanged."

Nonsense."

Lin Darong saw that Er Leiniang was making trouble unreasonably, so he said sternly: "Er Leiniang, don't be a rogue. You know what your Er Lei is like. I'll come find him when he wakes up. My father is still lying in bed now. We really can't do it."

But you have the right to report it to the government.

When Er Leiniang heard this, she immediately became angry and said, "You Lin family are so bullying. My son is like this and you still want to report him to the government. You simply don't give us a way to survive..."

Seeing that she couldn't talk well like this, the village chief and Lin Darong went home first.

The news that Er Leizi fell and was seriously injured spread throughout the village. After Ms. Qin heard her son tell the news at the dinner table, the rice spoon in her hand shook and the porridge spilled all over the table.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I can't use my hands anymore as I get older."

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at her.

"You are older than me! I haven't even shaken yet, but you have shaken it. I still expect you to serve me!"

Mrs. Qin felt extremely unhappy. If it weren't for the money in the old woman's hands, she would not have allowed her to serve her with delicious food and drinks all day long.

"Mom, don't worry! When Dabao gets the title, there will be groups of maids at home taking turns serving you, eating long and spicy food every day."

"That's okay. When will our eldest son come back? I miss my great-grandson."

"Dabao must be busy reading and studying! After all, there will be exams next spring."

"Our Dabao is still promising. Look, none of the second child's family is worthy of my attention."

"Mom, Dabao still has a lot of money left for the exam. Look..."

"I'm still waiting to enjoy the blessing. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

When Mrs. Qin heard what the old lady said, she felt something in her heart.

"Sanrong will also take the exam with Dabao and the others! It's ridiculous that he wants to take the exam after studying in the village school for a few years."

"Eat, eat, don't talk about them, I think it's bad luck."

Mrs. Qin finished her meal feeling a little uneasy thinking about Er Leizi.

After cleaning up the housework, I secretly went to Er Leizi's house.

She lay lying outside the back window and listened to the leper in the room crying and scolding the Lin family.

Er Leizi lay without saying a word. She glanced in through the hole in the window and found that Er Lezi was not awake yet.

So he went out and walked in openly through the courtyard gate.

When Er Leizi's mother saw that it was Mrs. Qin, she asked with an unhappy face: "Why are you coming to my house? I tell you, if you are here to trouble us for Lin Changlu's family, don't blame me for being rude."
