Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 98
Mrs. Liu came out to open the door when she heard the movement. Seeing Li Xin's eyes full of tears, she was stunned. She called Li Houzhong loudly, hugged Li Xin and said, "Xin'er, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

It's only been a night and day since I went back, and there is no reincarnation during the day. Why did my girl cry and go back to her mother's house again?

Liu was so angry that she quickly asked, "Did the Guan family bully you again?" Without waiting for Li Xin to explain the situation, she said angrily, "They really think my Li family is easy to bully, don't they?"

"Auntie, it's not..." Chunsheng quickly came out and explained, "It's something happened to the big brother of the Guan family."

Li Houzhong welcomed Chunsheng into the house, and Mrs. Liu held Li Xin and wiped her tears.Li Xin cried for a while and felt embarrassed and stopped crying. After Chunsheng finished speaking, Li Xin said: "Father, mother, I...I came back because I wanted to..."

"Don't say anything." Liu waved his palm and kicked Li Houzhong, "Hurry up and get money for Xiner!"

Li Houzhong hurriedly agreed to go to the main room, and Mrs. Liu asked Li Xin, "It's about 20 taels, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Li Xin said, "Guan Wen and I have ten taels in total. I asked Guan Wen's aunt to borrow ten taels. Guan Wen's grandfather and fourth brother gave me about ten taels in total, so there was still a shortfall of twenty taels."

Mrs. Liu said "Oh", thought for a while and patted the table again, "Where's his father? My son is so injured that he doesn't need to take a look. Why didn't he take out any money!"

Chunsheng hurriedly said, "Uncle Guan said that the family has no money."

"No money? Who are you bluffing to? Our family has never been divided into single households. Parents, sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren live together. The relationship is so good, and each family saves their own money! I and the head of the family have private money. , If you say you have no money, who will believe it!"

Chunsheng couldn't answer this question again, he just bowed his head with a wry smile.

Li Xin sniffed and said: "Mother, forget it, I asked him to write an explanation, and when I asked him later, it was they who said they didn't have the money and didn't give it, and it was none of my business. To Guan Wen, I will do my best. Enough."

Mrs. Liu sighed deeply, but stopped after what she wanted to say.

Li Houzhong came out with a silver tael wrapped in a red silk handkerchief. Inside was a silver ingot of five taels and other scattered silver taels.

Li Houzhong said: "Father counted, there are about ten taels of silver in it."

When Li Xin first came home, he scattered the private houses he saved, and he couldn't remember exactly who gave them to each other, but he still remembered the money.There are five five taels of silver ingots, one for each of the elder brother, the second brother and the third brother, and two for the father and mother.

The Li family bought iron plows, cattle, etc. Li Houzhong moved one of the silver ingots, and then slowly replenished them back. Coupled with the filial piety from his son, now not only the ten taels have come back, but there are still some leftovers.The situation of Li Xin's family is really good now.

Seeing what Li Houzhong said, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "Father, take the rest of the money from us."

Jiang Shi also said: "Erlang and I will also contribute to my sister's affairs."

After the two sisters-in-law finished talking, they were about to get up and go to the house to get the money. Mrs. Liu shouted: "What are you doing in such a hurry! Come back to me!"

The two daughters-in-law could only look back, and Mrs. Liu counted the silver in the red silk handkerchief carefully, and said: "There are 13 taels in it, and there is still a difference of seven taels of silver. A little bit of strength, if it wasn't for Xiner..." At this point Liu paused.At that time, Li Fei and Zhang's marriage was done with the rest of the money from selling Li Xin.

"The old family will give out three taels of silver, and the second son's family will give out two taels of silver. Although Mingzi has not yet married, he is also Xiner's younger brother, and it is right to give money to his brother-in-law to save his life. The two taels of silver I'll be the master and give it to him."

After a while, the 20 taels of silver were all paid off.

Mrs. Liu wrapped it up carefully, and pushed it in front of Li Xin: "Hurry up and take it to the medical clinic, and remember to report to us that it's safe."

Li Xin choked with sobs and nodded, and left in a hurry with Chunsheng without being courteous to his parents and sister-in-law.

Chunsheng was still a little taken aback.

20 taels of silver is not a small amount, but just now, the Li family took out the money in a few words, without blinking an eye, and didn't feel too reluctant.Either the family is rich, or they really think that money is nothing compared to life.

If the Li family is really rich, this is not the case, it must be the latter.

Chunsheng only guessed half of it.

If Li Xin had nothing to do with Guan Wen, the Li family would naturally not pay the money.But Guan Wen was Li Xin's husband, and the women of the Liu family naturally knew what kind of predicament Li Xin would face if he lost her husband.Their wholehearted help is not because of their deep friendship with Guan Wen, but because they don't want to see Li Xin suffer for the rest of his life.

After collecting enough money, Chunsheng naturally drove his horse to the Anhetang in the town.After tossing all afternoon, it was already dark at this time.

Li Xin took the money and handed it to the middle-aged scribe in the hospital, and asked eagerly, "How is he?"

The middle-aged scribe counted the silver and nodded, "I'll ask Dr. Wen to give him ginseng immediately."

Just as he was speaking, Mrs. Guan came out from the curtain, saw Li Xin and hurriedly asked, "Did you borrow money?"

Li Xin nodded, "Auntie, why are you here?"

"I'm worried. As soon as Changsheng left, I followed behind."

Mrs. Guan took her hand, looking haggard, frowned at Li Xin, and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Guan understood Li Xin. Back then, Zhao Guangming was beaten to death, and that's how she survived.She was fine at that time. Although her husband was disabled, she still had two sons under her knees, so there was hope.But for someone like Li Xin, if she becomes a widow within a few months of marriage and has no children left behind, that would be really miserable.

For the time being, Li Xin didn't have the strength to deal with Guan's overtures, so he said "no hard work" vaguely, and staggered towards the inside of the curtain.

Ginseng was already hanging by Guan Wen. Doctor Wen seemed to be a serious person. Guan Wen's wound had been sewn up and bandaged up, but there was nothing wrong with him.

Axiu said softly: "The doctor said that elder brother's breathing is stable, maybe he was in good health in the past, so there is nothing serious about it. It's just that he lost a lot of blood, and he will have to make up for it in the future."

Li Xin nodded, and didn't approach Guan Wen, just sat in a corner, closed his eyes and took a short rest.

Axiu asked Li Xin how he raised the money, Li Xin waved his hands and said wearily: "Your family belongs to a family, so don't ask these questions."

After dozing off for a while, Li Xin opened his eyes, took out a tael of silver, and called Guan Wudao: "Second brother, you take this tael of silver. We have to express our gratitude to those who have helped us today. We can’t spare any extra money now, so let’s split these two between Brother Chunsheng, Brother Kuizi who accompanied grandpa, and Brother Yue who set up the bullock cart to help us hire the doctor. We’ll talk about the rest later. You go home today. Go rest and take care of yourself, and then go and take care of your elder brother tomorrow. If we are all very tired, no one will have the energy to see him. "

Guan Wu responded, took the silver and went back in Chunsheng's car.

The Anhe Hall is very large, and the medical center also has rooms similar to wards.Li Xin borrowed a place to wash and change clothes, then sat next to Guan Wen and stared at him non-stop.Ask Axiu to come and replace her in the middle of the night before going to bed, and later in the middle of the night.

After watching it all night, Axiu woke up and saw that it was already dawn, so she couldn't help complaining to Li Xin: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you call me?"

Li Xin was stunned, "I forgot..."

Axiu sighed, and Li Xin reached out and touched Guan Wen's hand. Fortunately, the body temperature was normal, there was no infection, and no high fever was caused.

Good luck.

Dr. Wen came early in the morning, rolled Guan Wen's eyelids, felt his pulse, nodded and said, "That's right, I guess he'll wake up in a while, and he'll be recuperating for ten days and a half months, and he'll be removed when the wound scabs over." Gut. You can’t do too much movement during this time, let alone work.”

Li Xin nodded, and Doctor Wen said again: "Also, he injured his waist and abdomen this time. I don't know how he will recover. It is possible that he will not be able to use his strength in the future. You have to plan for the worst."

Li Xin still nodded.

Doctor Wen sighed, and prescribed another prescription for the little apprentice to get the medicine and boil it. Li Xin stared straight at the ground, and when Axiu told her to go to sleep, she lay down obediently for a while, but she couldn't sleep well all the time. .

At noon, the sun outside was bright and warm.

Guan Wen woke up.

When he woke up, Li Xin was lying on his arm, her hair was a little messy, and her breathing was a little heavy.Guan Wen moved his hands and wanted to get up, but suddenly realized that he was injured, so he quickly lay down obediently, sighed, and touched Li Xin's head with his hand, "Xin'er."

Li Xin didn't even respond to calling twice, Guan Wen turned his eyes away.

Just in time to see Axiu who came over with a meal.

Seeing Guan Wen's eyes open, Axiu's eyes widened suddenly. Just as she was about to exclaim, she noticed Li Xin who was lying on her stomach and fell asleep. She hurriedly covered her mouth, but tears gradually came out of her eyes. Said: "Brother, you finally woke up, you are finally okay..."

Guan Wen didn't understand what she said, but he could understand her expression.He smiled at Axiu, pouted his mouth.

Axiu guessed that Guan Wen was probably hungry, so she hurried over with food.

She originally brought this to Li Xin, but now that the eldest brother is awake and the sister-in-law is asleep, let's serve it to the eldest brother first.

Axiu took a spoon and fed him bit by bit, Guan Wen could only chew in small bites while asking softly, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"It's been a whole day." Axiu's eyes turned red. "My aunt came and went back last night. The second brother listened to the sister-in-law and went back to rest. He will come to replace us today. Since the sister-in-law came last night, she has been watching over you and didn't sleep. , I agreed to watch in the second half of the night, but let me sleep until early in the morning. I asked my sister-in-law why she didn't call me, and she said she forgot."

Axiu moved her hands more slowly, "Brother, I don't know how lucky you were to marry a sister-in-law in your life. Doctor Wen said, if you didn't stop the bleeding and drink salt and sugar water at that time, no matter how good your health is, this one I can't save my life."

Guan Wen listened silently. He didn't know what happened after he passed out, so he could only ask others to tell him.

Axiu sighed while talking: "Brother, you need to rest well. When you recover, you still have a whole lot of debt to pay off. My sister-in-law took out all the original books, and asked her natal family and aunt's family to borrow money to make up the money." I bought you ginseng to suspend your life. If your life comes back, you will have a lot of debts. I know that my elder brother has always been responsible. If it weren’t for my sister-in-law this time, even if you go to the hospital, you will not be able to live. ..."

Guan Wen was taken aback, "Ginseng?"

"Well, 50 taels of silver." Axiu stretched out her hand and gestured with five fingers, "I heard from brother-in-law Yinhuan that my aunt's family borrowed ten taels, and my sister-in-law's family took out 20 taels."

It took a long time for Guan Wen to sigh, and Axiu continued to feed him, but Li Xin still didn't wake up.

Axiu put down the bowl and said, "I'll bring another meal for my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law hasn't eaten anything since your accident happened. Ask Dr. Wen to come and see."

When Axiu came back with a fresh meal, she was about to wake up Li Xin to eat, so she pushed her, but Li Xin fell to the ground all of a sudden.Axiu hurried up to help her, but was surprised to find that Li Xin was terribly hot all over.

Dr. Wen rushed over, took the pulse, looked at the eyeballs, and sighed: "Extremely angry, sad and joyful, repeated emotions, hard-fought people can't stand it. It's a fever. I prescribed a side drug for her. It will be fine in two days."
