Chapter 333(1/2)
They didn't know that today's parting was almost separated from Shu Ying's yin and yang.
-
In the northeast, a village called Mengjiatun is located in a mountain. It is approaching evening, and smoke is curling above the chimneys of every household.
We were busy making dinner, but fortunately, before dark, the family could eat the food, save some lamp oil for the family, and rest on the kang early.
"His father, it's been three days. The little girl hasn't woken up yet. Or...why should we send someone to the town health center and let the doctor take a closer look? How are you?"
The person who spoke was a woman in her forties. Although this woman was old, it was still not difficult to see her beautiful appearance when she was a girl.
Moreover, although the clothes worn by the woman were washed so that she could not see the original color, the whole thing was clean and there was no stain.
Furthermore, if you don’t pay attention to the woman’s obviously sickly white face, just by looking at this person, you will know that the woman is a clean, quick and sensible person.
However, this woman is not in good health. She never goes out to work except for simple housework.
It’s not that the woman doesn’t want to, it’s that the men at home are reluctant to let go and don’t want to be tired of her own wife.
In this regard, the women in the village are often chewing their own tongues behind their backs, thinking that the male owners of this family are stupid and have a lot of money, and they are too fond of their wives.
But in the final analysis, it is the gossiping women who are jealous. They are also women, but they have to go to the fields to earn work points like men at home. When they get home, they have to do laundry and cook, and work on a lot of housework.
This jealousy is inevitable, and the isolation makes them jealous and they look down upon it. The name is Xiuyu, a woman who once worked as a maid in a wealthy family in the city.
In the eyes and hearts of these women, they are pretty and have no idea about their figures. When the women who can be regarded as maids by wealthy families in the city will not be clean when they are released by their masters.
Therefore, when the women in Mengjiatun, whether they are old women or young wives, they will avoid this woman named Xiuyu, as if they are afraid of getting dirty.
He pointed at his back and said something unpleasant to the ears to calm their jealousy.
"Let me, if this daughter still doesn't wake up tomorrow morning, I will borrow the ox cart I got and send the person to the health center for a doctor to check it out."
The man who spoke was named Meng and was Sankui. He was nearly fifty years old, but he looked over fifty. However, Meng Sankui was skilled and worked as a chef in a state-owned hotel in the town, rather than other men in the village relying on earning work points to support their families.
It is precisely because Meng Sankui could support his family without having to work hard to support his wife, who brought back to the village in his early years, and said that she was a maid and more like a lady from a wealthy family.
He also protects his wife in everything and feels sorry for her, so that the women in the village are full of unfairness, jealousy, and isolates Xiuyu and Meng Sankui's wife.
Meng Sankui is a tough guy. Since his wife is not favored by the slandered wives in the village, he doesn't want his wife to walk around with those wives.
Because Meng Sankui was determined to protect his wife, he did not obey his mother and sent away the sick girl and the daughter-in-law who had been maids to the rich,
Moreover, this daughter-in-law has never been pregnant for many years and never goes to the ground. Meng Sankui's mother was so angry that she separated the third son alone.
In order to avoid a sick person from dragging the whole family down.
Xiuyu is in poor health. Meng Sankui has to take at least twice a month for his wife Xiuyu to take. Especially, the decoction is not cheap every time he takes.
Even if Meng Sankui can get his salary every month in a state-owned hotel in the town, he will have to spend at least one-third of his salary after buying the medicine twice this month.
Another thing is that Meng Sankui and his wife did not earn work points, and they lived on Meng Sankui's salary and the public grains received by Meng Sankui alone. Their life was not as tight as it was, but they did not have much effort.
Fourteen years ago, Meng Sankui finally held his son, but his son was like a mother. He looked handsome and tall and thin, but he gave people a clear sense of pathology. He was obviously not capable of heavy work at first glance.
In order to make your wife and children live a better life and have money to drink soup, Meng Sankui secretly took private work outside of normal working hours.
If anyone needs to take care of weddings, weddings, etc., as long as it is on the weekend, Meng Sankui will take on the job and use the extra money earned to subsidize his family income.
In short, Meng Sankui's family of three is a very special existence in Mengjiatun.
"Then you have to remember it so that the little girl will not suffer if she keeps lying down."
Xiuyue gave a soft reminder.
"Actually, although Uncle Yong'an is a barefoot doctor, his medical skills have a reputation in our village and in several nearby villages. Since Uncle Yong'an said that this daughter can wake up in about three or four days, I believe it."
It was Saturday three days ago. On the way back to the village after get off work, he saw a girl lying on the road and unconscious. After checking, he found that the girl had a head injury and was covered in mud.
There were also many patched cotton coats on his body, and he thought that the girl had probably rolled down from the hillside, but he looked up at the nearby hillside, just as he expected.
Without thinking too much, he explored the girl's breath and found that the person was not dead. Then he hurriedly carried the girl home and asked the woman to help him clean up the girl. He quickly walked out and asked the barefoot doctor in the village to come to the house to treat the girl.
Later, he learned from Uncle Yong'an, the barefoot doctor in the village that the little girl had no injuries on her body, but had suffered more than one impact on her head.
The pulse is quite stable, but it may take three or four days to wake up. As for whether there are any sequelae after waking up, this is another matter.
He understands that only when this person wakes up can he know if there is any problem with his brain.
"I didn't say I didn't believe it. I just thought that the doctors in the health center were more professional. Since you carried this little girl to our house, we have to be responsible for the little girl.
Let her see it, otherwise we can’t watch the little girl fall asleep like this.”
"Don't get me wrong, I understand what you mean."
Meng Sankui was afraid that his wife would be angry and hurriedly spoke softly.
"I'm not a little guy, I'm always angry with you. Besides, we have been living for so many years. Don't you understand me?" Xiu Yu looked angry at the man, staring at the girl who was lying on the kang for a while, sighing:
"This little girl looks so good. I thought that she probably encountered something bad, so she would roll down the hill in a hurry to run away."
"When I saw the little girl, she protected her head with her hands tied with hemp ropes, which showed that she was awake when she rolled down the hill..."
Meng Sankui said this. Upon hearing this, his wife Xiuyu thought for a while and nodded: "You said the hillside is very long. If the little girl rolled down without consciousness, she would definitely be bleeding, instead of having a big bag on her forehead and the back of her head."
"You can be helped with your hands, and your face and hands are covered with dark yellow. There is a clear difference between the clothes you wear on your body. Do you think this little girl was a kidnapped from the city to our mountains and wanted to sell it to someone as a wife?"
Meng Sankui expressed his guess.
"It's probably what you said."
Xiuyu looked upright: "The little girl is fair and beautiful. She is the best-looking girl I have ever seen so far. She is tied up with her hands and has her exposed skin color dark yellow.
I was unconscious under the hillside again. It was abnormal for these to appear on the little girl, especially the wool sweater worn under the torn cotton jacket and the emerald green four-leaf vegetable-shaped jade pendant on my neck.
It can be completely explained that the little girl lives in a wealthy family. If a girl from a wealthy family is not an accident, she would not have been able to come to our mountain nest in such an image.”
"Dad, mom, then should we report to the police?"
The voice of a boy in the voice change period suddenly came from outside the door of the room.
"Jojo, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Not only did this brat not sleep, he was not afraid of the cold, hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, so he was not worried about freezing himself?
Meng Sankui deliberately lowered his face and glared at his son Meng Qiao.
"I can't sleep."
When her parents discovered that Meng Qiao shrank her neck and then walked into the house where her parents lived. However, since her father rescued a young lady on Saturday and went home, she slept in his house that night, and her mother took care of the young lady in this house.
"What I said to your mother is our own guess. What is going on? We have to wait until someone wakes up before making a conclusion." Meng Sankui looked at his son and said, "If this person wakes up and asks to report to the police, your mother and I will definitely support you."
"Jojo, the whole country is very big. We don't know anything specifically. Reporting to the police can't solve any problems."
Regardless of whether her and the head's guess is accurate, it can only be considered their guess. This really requires the police to report to the police before the girl wakes up.
What was waiting for them was definitely the public security comrades who asked them in a few words, so they didn't know how to answer. If they couldn't do it well, they might have to be suspected by the public security.
"But what if... what if this sister's head fell and didn't know where her home was, what should we do?" The man was stunned. He didn't know what to do after asking questions. It was useless to report to the police.
Meng Sankui and his wife were stunned. After a while, Xiuyu looked straight into Meng Sankui's eyes and said, "His father, if... I mean if, if, what our Qiao Qiao really said,"
We...we are good people to do it to the end, and keep this little girl for the time being. When we see news about the little girl’s family, we will send the little girl away.”
"Mom, I have no objection. I would like to have multiple sisters at home."
Meng Qiao immediately made a statement.
Since childhood, because of his weak body and the special nature of their family in the village, he rarely plays with him and is friends with him. He basically stays with his mother every day.
He listened to his mother telling stories, and learned to recognize words and arithmetics with her mother. It was not until he went to elementary school that he had contact with his children of the same age, but the classmates in the class were not in good health.
I don’t want to call him together when I play, for fear that he will fall, touch or hit him, so I treat him like a porcelain doll, which makes him feel very lonely. At the same time, I envy those classmates who can run wildly and play crazy together.
In fact, after all, he was not in good health, but he was not so weak that he could not run or jump, but he said that the male classmates in the class still didn't call him to play together during the break.
When her parents discovered that Meng Qiao shrank her neck and then walked into the house where her parents lived. However, since her father rescued a young lady on Saturday and went home, she slept in his house that night, and her mother took care of the young lady in this house.
"What I said to your mother is our own guess. What is going on? We have to wait until someone wakes up before making a conclusion." Meng Sankui looked at his son and said, "If this person wakes up and asks to report to the police, your mother and I will definitely support you."

"But what if... what if this sister's head fell and didn't know where her home was, what should we do?" The man was stunned. He didn't know what to do after asking questions. It was useless to report to the police.
Could it be that the little girl was turning her from the city to our mountains and wanted to sell it to others as a wife?"
Meng Sankui expressed his guess.
"It's probably what you said."
Xiuyu looked upright: "The little girl is fair and beautiful. She is the best-looking girl I have ever seen so far. She is tied up with her hands and has her exposed skin color dark yellow.
