Chapter 19 The only good one

Seeing Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entering the yard one after another, Shen Dashan's expression softened a little.

Even though he had never mentioned that incident in the past few years, he was already at an age where he was surrounded by children and grandchildren. Not only was he slapped by a woman, but he was also insulted in front of other villagers. No one had the guts to do so.

Can let it go.

But he is Li Zheng of Lihua Village, so no matter how many opinions he has about a certain company, he can't just take aim at them.

Otherwise, I will be sorry for being called "Li Zheng" by others.

Old Man Li was not originally from Lihua Village. He came here with Mrs. Wang more than thirty years ago after fleeing from famine. In his previous term, he took the couple to settle down in the government because of their honest duties.

Who would have guessed that people who greeted people with smiles when they first met would now become cancerous?

One man was so arrogant that he killed his own daughter and ruined the reputation of a whole village of girls. The other man was a helper and he was completely blind and couldn't see anything else.

The commander asked the two brothers Shen Qingchuan and Shen Qinghe to place two large baskets in front of Nanzhi's house, and Shen Dashan stood aside.

People who went up the mountain today lined up to pour some chestnuts into it. No matter how much, it was still their intention.

This afternoon, even people with the weakest labor force picked up chestnuts weighing thirty kilograms.

That's something that can save lives.

After one round, the basket was filled to the brim, totaling about three hundred kilograms.

After looking at the two baskets of chestnuts, Shen Dashan took his family away with satisfaction.

People in Lihua Village must have a conscience.

Because she was afraid that the quarrel between Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wang would stain the dog's ears, Nanzhi took the dog to the backyard for dinner early. There was an old pear tree in the backyard that was about twenty years old, although not even a few leaves had fallen out.

However, Nanzhi still set up a small table under the tree.

After finishing the meal, Nanzhi was about to wash the dishes, only to realize that it was quiet outside the door, with no movement at all.

Even so, she didn't dare to be careless. She just put down the bowl and chopsticks, grabbed a hatchet and tiptoed towards the door slowly.

I leaned against the door and listened for a while and found that it was quiet outside. Except for the occasional chirping of insects, there was no other sound.

Is this gone?

Nanzhi felt a little nervous. If she had a fight with Wu, she probably wouldn't have a good chance of winning. After all, the original body could only weigh eighty kilograms at most. Standing next to the dog, it was just two bamboo poles, one big and one small.

With Wu's big shoulders and round waist, she might not be able to beat him.

Just as he was calculating his chances of winning, the dog trotted to Nanzhi's side. Seeing his mother-in-law leaning against the door, he was a little confused and asked in a low voice: "Mommy, are you following me?"

Do dogs play games?”

After listening to Gou'er's words, Nanzhi realized that she was a little too cautious and seemed a little timid. Anyway, even if something really happened, she wouldn't save her even if she shouted at Aunt Liu.

With the intention of a fight, Nanzhi opened the courtyard door. What he saw was not two shrews, but two baskets full of chestnuts. He was so frightened that the hatchet in Nanzhi's hand almost fell.

On the ground.

Is this sent by God?

Is it so direct this time?

Thinking about the "adventures" he had a few days ago, Nanzhi is still a little unsure. Is this a big pie falling from the sky?

The dog didn't know what his mother was thinking. He only circled the basket twice, then pointed his little finger at a mark on the side of the basket and shouted: "Mom, this is the basket from Grandpa Li Zheng's house."

.”

Nanzhi regained consciousness and squatted down, followed the place pointed out by the dog and looked carefully, only to find two small circles painted on the edge of the basket.

This is indeed the basket belonging to the Li Zheng family. Most of the people in the village are farmers. When they are busy, they are afraid of getting things mixed up when borrowing or borrowing farm tools, so every household will leave a mark on their own items.

Li Zhengjia's is a red circle.

"Dogs are so awesome."

The dog's little face turned red after being praised by his mother-in-law, and his little face that had been deliberately stern suddenly became shy.

Grandma always praises him now, but he is a young man and cannot be shy all the time. It is really a troublesome thing.

It took a lot of effort for Nanzhi to move Chestnut into the house. At first, she thought she wouldn't be able to bring much back to her parents' house tomorrow, but now it seems that she has about the same amount.

After greeting the dog and washing up, the couple went to bed early, but the Li family next door was still in chaos.

After Li Liang came back, he put Old Man Li in the main room. The couple and their daughter were busy boiling water and asking for the village doctor. However, as soon as Li Tian came back, he took the stone and went to hide in the house.

.

He didn't bother to care about his father. Anyway, Mrs. Liu and his younger brother were here, so it would be okay for him to be lazy for a while.

Just as Li Liang was about to go out, he saw his mother-in-law and sister-in-law coming back in a state of confusion. He didn't ask any more questions and was just going to go to the village doctor's house again.

He had just asked his daughter to look for him twice, but they both said there was no one at home. It was getting dark now, so maybe Uncle Wang had come back from his work.

After greeting Mrs. Liu and taking good care of old man Li, Li Liang hurried out the door without even looking at his mother-in-law.

When Ms. Liu saw her mother-in-law coming back with a bad look on her face, she was a little scared, so she just lowered her head and shouted: "Mom..."

The expected insults did not come, and Madam Liu glanced up in confusion, only to see the back of Mrs. Wang hurriedly entering the room.

It's like there's something chasing behind you.

"sister in law……"

Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Wu with some confusion. What were her mother-in-law and sister-in-law doing?

Mrs. Wu originally didn't understand why her mother-in-law left suddenly, but when she came home, she saw her father-in-law lying in the main room. Now when she heard Mr. Liu calling her, she just pretended that she hadn't heard and went back to the house quickly.

She didn't want to be dragged by Mrs. Liu to take care of her father-in-law.

Seeing her mother-in-law and sister-in-law enter the house respectively, Ms. Liu breathed a sigh of relief. How dare she expect their help.

As long as they don't scold themselves, that's fine.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Li Liang came back with Mr. Wang, who was slightly out of breath.

Mr. Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly stepped forward to look at Mr. Li.

Li Liang had just roughly told him the reason. Mr. Wang sighed inwardly, how could the entire Li family not be able to spend money to treat their legs?

The doctors in Jishitang must have better medical skills than me. If others say they need three taels of silver, is it possible that a barefoot doctor like me can cure him for only three cents?

After checking Old Man Li's pulse, Mr. Wang's brows furrowed and he pulled up Old Li's trouser legs. Looking at the swollen and blackened legs, Mr. Wang's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.

This leg must be crippled. From what the second boy of the Li family said, it was bitten last night. If treated this morning, it could be saved. But now that it has been so long, he can only prescribe some medicine to save Old Man Li's life.

.

Mr. Wang stood up and waved to Li Liang: "Boy, come here."

Li Liang was shocked when he saw the appearance of his father's right leg just now. Now he heard Mr. Wang greeting him and ran over quickly: "Uncle Wang, can my father's leg be cured..."

Mr. Wang was also a little intolerant, but he still told the truth: "The doctor at Jishitang gave your father an injection, and his life was saved. Now I will prescribe some medicine. You can cook it three times a day and feed it to your father. Drink it."

Half a month, just those legs..."

Sometimes people understand without having to finish the words.

Li Liang didn't say anything else, he just kept thanking Mr. Wang. In the end, even the medical fee was paid by Mrs. Liu when she went back to the house.

Seeing the couple's embarrassment, Mr. Wang just said that he owed the medicine money first and asked him to go get the medicine first.

Before leaving, I took another look at Old Man Li, thinking to myself that I hope he can see more clearly this time. The Li family is pretty good, and only Li Liang's room is the only one.

Old Man Li just lay there quietly, as if he was really unconscious.

He couldn't understand why his wife, who had been with him for decades, would give up one of his legs for a few taels of silver.

Why had I never asked myself about my eldest son, whom I had always been partial to? In the end, the one who cared about him the most was the one I had never cared about.
