Chapter 58 Forgot the child completely
After the sun set, another quarrel broke out in the old house of the Zong family, mixed with the cry of a young woman.

Zong Pingkang was only thinking about making money, and completely forgot about the fact that his grandson was still suffering from a high fever.

Zong Hu and Tiezhu went up the mountain to check on the water source early in the morning. He thought that his father would definitely invite the doctor back, so he asked his wife to wait at home peacefully.

After being out for a whole day, the woman sat in the room with her young son who was suffering from a high fever in her arms and saw through her eyes. She didn't wait for the doctor to come back.

Men of the Zong family were not allowed to enter the house of one of her wives, and old man Zong was handed over to discuss organizing people to dig ditches, but old lady Wu didn't care at all.

When it was time for dinner, Zong Hu came back from outside anxiously, wanting to see if the child's fever had gone down.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife holding the child with her eyes swollen from crying. She rushed towards him as soon as she saw him.

"Brother Tiger, where is the doctor?"

"Hasn't father-in-law invited the doctor back?"

"I can't even open my eyes because of the fever, Brother Hu."

Wang Yaner cried for as long as the child was burning. Zong Hu hurriedly supported his wife with a shocked look on his face.

"What? Dad hasn't come back yet?"

Even if their village lives in the mountains, they don’t have to walk all day and night to get a doctor.

Zong Hu immediately ran towards the main room. Zong Pingkang came back in the morning and had a fuss with Mr. Liu before returning home and fell asleep.

Now he was sitting at the table, eating the roast chicken he had brought back, and drinking wine with Mr. Zong.

"Xiaohu is back. Come on, give your son a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Dad has brought back a lot of delicious food today. Sit down and eat too."

Zong Hu's face turned dark with anger.

"Dad, where is the doctor?"

"The child has fallen into a coma due to fever, but you still have the energy to eat meat and drink wine here!"

Zong Hu couldn't hold it back any longer, and his voice turned into a roar at the end.

He knew that it was difficult to feed children born in lean years, but their family didn't seem to be in such dire straits that they couldn't afford a doctor.

"Oops, my eldest grandson is still on fire!" Mrs. Liu was the quickest to react, and her chopsticks were frightened.

"It's all your wife's fault for being such a boring gourd. Didn't we forget that she can't just walk out of the room and say something?"

"He stays at the door all day long. Those who don't know think that our clan has married another rich lady."

Mrs. Liu disliked Wang Yan'er as her daughter-in-law very much because she could see a bit of the original Mu family in her.If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to a baby for the Zong family, her son would have divorced him long ago.

If you save money and open your mouth to eat more at home, the food you eat now will be more valuable.

"Mom, how can you say such a thing? Yan'er has just given birth not long ago. How can she come out before she's even finished her confinement?"

"Can't you go to her room and watch more when I'm not at home?"

Old Man Zong stood up and said, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise."

"The child is important, hurry up and take a look."

The whole family ran outside Wang Yaner's house. Mrs. Wu felt a little guilty. She and Mrs. Liu had been at home for a while, but they completely forgot about their great-grandson's fever.

I didn't dare to speak at this moment, for fear of being scolded by my old man.

Old man Zong saw that his great-grandson's face was not normal anymore, so he turned around and slapped Ms. Liu hard.

The beating made Ms. Liu fall to the ground with an exclamation sound.

"It doesn't matter that we men are not at home and don't know that Pingkang forgot to find the doctor. Don't you, the wife, know that too?"

"What do you do at home all day long? You don't care if your child is burned like this."

Mrs. Liu burst into tears, covered her face and glanced at her mother-in-law Mrs. Wu.

"I!"

"Why did you hit me alone? My mother-in-law was at home all day, so she didn't even think about it."

Wu was afraid that the old man would also slap her, so she rushed to Liu and slapped her again.

"How dare you talk back? My old woman has a bad memory and often forgets things. You don't know."

"You are Yan'er's mother-in-law, and Xiao Xiaohu is the eldest grandson of our clan. If he does anything bad, I will ask Pingkang to divorce you, such a vicious mother-in-law."

Zong Hu and his wife are very anxious now. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wu and Liu, are shirking each other's responsibilities, crying and arguing, which is really upsetting.

"That's enough! I want you to go out and make a noise."

Zong Hu was really angry this time. He walked up to Old Man Zong, his eyes were red because he felt sorry for his son, and he suddenly knelt down with a thud.

"Grandpa, please save the little tiger."
