It was Xu Laosan and Xu Dafu.

No wonder Mrs. Xu Zhang felt uneasy early in the morning. How could Xu Laosan like this go to Xujiacun?

They came in and made such loud noises, but there was no response...

It turned out that he was already lying here, and his fate was unknown.

Xu Laowu walked closer and called out softly with tears in his eyes, "Third brother, third brother, what's wrong with you? Mom asked me and my sister to come and see you."

"Third brother, third brother..."

I called several times, but no one in the broken mattress responded.

Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward and felt Xu Laosan's pulse. She was startled and her breath was very weak.

To say he was dying would be an understatement.

She carried a silver needle with her and pricked Xu Laosan's middle door.

Xu Laosan slowly woke up, coughed a few times, squinted his eyes, and after looking for a long time, he was still in a chaotic state.

Because Xu Laosan usually has a bit of squint and cannot see people clearly.

"Third brother, third brother, it's me, my old sister and I are here to see you."

"Third brother, I am Jiaojiao."

Xu Jiaojiao announced her family name first, and Xu Laosan was in low spirits, so he didn't have to admit it for a long time.

When meningitis was severe when I was a child, my mouth was still crooked and my eyes were slanted. Later, as an adult, my facial features became straighter, but I still looked different from normal people.

Two lines of tears flowed from Xu Laosan's sunken eye sockets, and he said weakly, "I heard you right, Lao Wu? Lao sister?"

"It's us, third brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom said it's snowing heavily today, so that your legs and feet won't be inconvenient and it's difficult to walk. Let us come over to see how you are doing. We haven't seen each other all year round. Mom misses you, third brother."

…

Suddenly, more tears rolled down Xu Laosan's eyes.

"Fifth brother, old sister, I made you worry. I'm fine. What time is it today?"

Don’t even know how long it has been?

Xu Laowu replied, "Third brother, today is the second day of junior high school."

Xu Laosan choked up and said, "Oh oh oh, it turns out it's the second year of junior high school. Forgive me that I can't go back to pay New Year's greetings to my parents this year. Time flies so fast, old girl, if you don't say that you are

Jiaojiao, I don’t even recognize the third brother. You look good this way and you are blessed. How is your family doing this year? Mom and dad, how are your health?"

Xu Jiaojiao noticed that his mouth twitched when he spoke.

"Everything is fine, everything is fine, third brother, why are you like this?"

In the memory of the original owner, the original owner was not very affectionate towards this third brother, and even looked down upon him.

He is a cripple and an unsound person, and he acts as a son-in-law.

In the countryside, only those men who no one wants and have no future will be chosen as son-in-law.

Also, after Xu Laosan married Cai, Cai was very cruel and scolded Xu Laosan at every turn.

Then, the old Xu family was naturally not a good thing in Cai's opinion.

Is there anything worthy of scolding the old Xu family? Just scold the former Xu Jiaojiao as a pig that only knows how to eat and sleep...

This made the original owner hate Cai and Xu Laosan even more, thinking that Xu Laosan was incompetent and could not even suppress his wife, and was a waste.

Therefore, Xu Jiaojiao rarely came to Cai's house, which is when Xu Laosan returned home on the second day of the new year, the two brothers and sisters met each other.

I rarely talk to Xu Laosan in such a soft voice.

When Xu Laosan saw that Xu Jiaojiao's attitude was suddenly so good, he was startled and tears flowed out again.

"Old girl, I'm fine. I'm just not strong enough. I'm sick. After I recover from my injuries in a few days, I'll go back and apologize to my parents. I'm really fine."

Xu Laowu said angrily, "Third brother, you still have such a character. Are the Cai family bullying you again? You are so sick. If they don't send you to a diagnosis and treatment, they will throw you into the woodshed in the cold weather."

The mother and son have a steaming meal, but you don't even have a mouthful of cold water here. Third brother, there is no bully in their family like this. Do they treat you like a human being?"

And what little fat man Cai Danzi said, what does it mean to die in the upper room, which is unlucky?

Is that human talk?!

This is his biological father!!

Xu Laowu didn't say these words no matter how angry he was, because he was afraid that Xu Laosan would be even more chilled when he heard it.

Xu Laosan took two breaths, his mouth was crooked, and he continued, "Fifth brother, don't be angry. I want to live in the woodshed. I'm afraid that the illness will be passed on to them, mother and son. I don't see a doctor because of family difficulties.

, it’s the Chinese New Year again, and all the medical clinics in the town are closed...cough...cough...after a few days, when the New Year is over, I will go to the medical clinic in the town to have a look.

Sickness is normal. If you endure it for a while, you may be able to get over it..."

Wiping away tears again, "I'm really fine. I haven't seen you for a long time. Suddenly I saw you and cried with joy."

Xu Laowu was a straight-headed person, "Really? Third brother? Didn't their family bully you? Then why is there no food when it's dinner time?"

"I was sleeping. When I woke up, I naturally asked them to bring me in to eat. I was fine. But you two came all the way here. Have you eaten? Are you hungry? You third brother and I are in this situation.

I can’t get up to cook for you anymore, I’m sorry!”

…

Xu Jiaojiao exposed him, "Third brother, you lied!"

Xu Laosan's forced smile fell again.

Xu Jiaojiao said coldly, "Third brother, I took your pulse just now. Your qi, spleen and stomach are extremely weak. You haven't eaten for at least a few days! You are afraid that the sick qi will give them the mother and son. You asked to come to the woodshed, then

Why do you only cover yourself with such a thin mattress? With such a thin mattress, even if you are a good person, you will freeze to death! If you continue like this, you will not survive for three days. Third brother, you have reached this point, what are you still hiding?

?”

On Xu Laosan's pale face, he pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay. I drank a bowl of meatball soup in the morning. I'm not suitable for covering up my disease. I'm in good spirits. I've felt better these past two days."

It’s just easier to fall asleep. Don’t tell your parents when you go back, just say I’m fine...cough cough cough..."

When it came to the latter part, for fear that Xu Laowu and Xu Jiaojiao wouldn't believe it, they became anxious and coughed non-stop, unable to breathe.

Xu Jiaojiao quickly said to Xu Laowu, "Fifth Brother, help me pull Third Brother's clothes apart. Third Brother's lungs are short of breath. I'll give him an acupuncture to relax him."

When Xu Lao San heard this, he became even more anxious and hurriedly pulled the quilt to prevent Xu Lao Wu from lifting it.

After doing this, the cough became even worse.

"No... no need..."

The more this happens, the more suspicious it becomes.

Xu Laowu was very strong, but Xu Laosan looked like he was dying, so there was no way he could be stopped.
