farmer's little girl

Chapter 18

Mrs. Hu beat her neck and came out from the upper room.

After a day of tossing, she was tired both heart and soul.

When he walked to the door of the big house, he saw his second child, Lu Minghai, coming out of it.

Mrs. Hu walked in, and Lu Mingchuan was sitting on the kang, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking, she asked, "Is there something wrong with the second child?"

Lu Mingchuan nodded, and then explained Lu Minghai's reason for coming.

After listening, Hu's brows were tightly frowned, and he didn't know what to say.

Lu Mingchuan sighed, and said: "Auntie, you bother to see if you can let the Du family wait for a year. Originally, last year's adopted son was supposed to get married, but it's a pity that the younger sister suffered from the illness last year, which made the second room better. The family money that was easy to save was empty. The second brother and the second sibling had managed to save some money over the past year. They originally planned to marry the adopted son, but suddenly something happened to the Du family. Some are not handy."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Mrs. Hu was silent, Lu Mingchuan asked.

Hu's brows were still frowned: "Do you think Erfang doesn't plan to marry the Du family?"

"Why do you think so?"

"It's impossible for Erfang to have no money, and even if not, it's impossible for the Mei family to have no money." Anyway, Mrs. Hu never believed that Erfang would have no money!

Lu Mingchuan didn't know what to say anymore. His wife always said that the second wife had money, and Lu Mingchuan thought the same way before.But this time the second brother told him frankly, but he believed it.The two brothers grew up together, and he knew the temperament of the second child, so it was impossible for him to lie to him, especially when it was about Yue'er's marriage.

"Don't think about it too much. Since the second child said that the money is not in hand, he must have no money. As for the Mei family, it is only the second child's Yue's family. How can one's own children get married and let the Yue's family pay the money? It didn't come from the big river, you still don't know what the second child is like? Talk to your aunt and see what she says, Lian'er is only sixteen now, you should be able to wait a year."

Hu looked at the man with a troubled expression, hesitant to speak.

The man only knew that the Du family's situation was not good, but he didn't know what was wrong. It was almost unbearable.If she told her younger sister, the Du family could indeed wait, but only if she was willing to continue to borrow money from the Du family until Lu Jiaoyue passed.

Could she continue to borrow money from the Du family?Not to mention that the money of the big house is not rich, and none of the money comes from the big river.

The Hu family was caught in a dilemma.

In the middle of the night, the lights in the upper room suddenly turned on.

Putting on his clothes, the old man Lu walked out quickly, first knocked on the door of the first room, and then knocked on the door of the third room.Because the second room was in the back, old man Lu asked Lu Mingshan to call Lu Minghai.

Not long after, the three brothers gathered in the upper room with their respective wives.The old man Lu didn't have time to elaborate, he just said one thing and asked them to invite Dr. Liu quickly.

Needless to say, Lu Guili fell ill again.

This kind of situation is not unheard of before, and the three brothers are very experienced.At the same time, I had some doubts in my heart. It is reasonable to say that I just had a disturbance during the day and invited the doctor again. How long has it been since I fell ill again.

They didn't know that Lu Guili finally woke up, and they remembered what Lu Jiaoxing said to her during the day, and the more they thought about it, the more sad they became, and they fell ill again.Fortunately, Cui was worried about her daughter and slept next to her at night. Otherwise, no one would know that Lu Guili died on the kang.

Lu Mingchuan and the others went to invite the doctor, and the Hu family stayed behind. Knowing that the situation of the sister-in-law was not good, all of them looked solemn, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

After about two quarters of an hour, the three brothers brought Dr. Liu back.

Doctor Liu is not from Daxi Village, but from Zhaojiatun.It was dark in the middle of the night, no one dared to drive the ox cart out, the three Lu Mingchuan brothers ran all the way to Zhaojiatun, pulled Dr. Liu up from the kang, and then the three of them took turns carrying him back.

As soon as he got home, Lu Mingshan collapsed on the stool and did not move.

Lu Mingchuan and Lu Minghai were also sweating profusely from exhaustion. As soon as Lu Minghai put Dr. Liu down, Dr. Liu was dragged to the Westinghouse by Old Man Lu.

"Ouch, let me take a breath, take a breath." Dr. Liu was disheveled and out of breath. "My medicine chest—"

"Here it is." Lu Mingshan patted the medicine box by his hand, and handed it to Mrs. Hu who came out of it.

Dr. Liu helped Lu Guili feel the pulse, his gray brows were tightly frowned, and his face was full of solemnity.

"Doctor Liu, how is my daughter?" Old man Lu asked anxiously.

Dr. Liu shook his head, with a serious expression on his face: "Her condition has worsened. I was not the one who saw her back then. I couldn't prescribe her a prescription. You should send her to the town to have a look."

Doctor Liu's medical skills are not very good, and he usually helps the villagers to see minor ailments and the like.Back then, Lu Guili's illness was seen in the town. Her illness could not be cured, so she could only rely on it to take care of it slowly.So on weekdays, Dr. Liu took care that her condition didn't get worse, and when she got sick, he just packed some medicine for Lu's family according to the scriptures, but he couldn't do anything more.

It stands to reason that it would be better to find a doctor in the town, but it is a pity that going to the town to see a doctor requires a lot of money, and Lu's family cannot afford it.So when Lu Guili's condition was not serious, she invited Dr. Liu to come and see her.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Lu's complexion suddenly darkened.

It's just that the situation was urgent and I didn't dare to delay, so I asked my sons to go to town with a bullock cart.

Lu Mingshan rubbed his arms and walked in, complaining as he walked: "Father, did you make a mistake, this ignorant driver is driving to the town, what if something happens on the way? Let's talk about it after dawn."

The roads in the country are unusual, rugged and full of potholes.Heideng is blind, once fell into the ditch, he can't even get up.So in the countryside, there is usually nothing to do, and no one dares to walk at night or drive a car.Even with Lu Guili's body, it is impossible to carry her to the town.

Qiao Shi echoed from the side: "That's right, Dad, no matter how worried you are about my sister-in-law, you still have to care about your son."

Cui Shi, who had been crying all the time, choked and cried when she heard this.

The old man Lu was very angry, and the finger pointing at Lu Mingshan trembled.

Mrs. Qiao is also smart, knowing that she can't offend others just by herself and her husband, so she has the idea of ​​dragging others into trouble. "Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you're not worried about letting your own man go out, this black light is blind?"

Hu and Mei were silent.

They are naturally worried, but——

"Okay, stop talking, second child, will you come with me?" Lu Mingchuan frowned.

Lu Minghai nodded without hesitation.

Mei Shi tightly pursed her lips, trying not to let herself pull the man.

Mrs. Hu gave Lu Mingchuan a hand in surprise: "His father—"

"I'll go with you, and the third one will go too. Bring Guili with you, bring a few extra torches, and support two lanterns. Walk slowly on the road." Old man Lu decided.

Several heads of the family have made a decision, and the objections of the three-bedroom couple are naturally ignored, so everyone splits up to make arrangements.The cows leading the cows, the ones harnessing the wagons, the ones looking for torches, the sisters-in-law Hu and Mei carried quilts outside and spread them on the wagon so that my sister-in-law could lie on them.

Lu Jiaoyue woke up a long time ago, but her mother didn't let her wake up, so she stayed in her room the whole time.Seeing that there was a lot of movement in the yard at this moment, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went out.

After helping with the fight, Lu Jiaoyue sent everyone away, and then accompanied Mei back to the second house.

She asked Mrs. Mei to sleep for a while, but Mrs. Mei couldn't fall asleep, so she asked her daughter to go back to her room to continue sleeping. In the end, the mother and daughter sat on the kang in the main room all night.

It wasn't until it was bright outside that Lu Jiaoyue felt a little sleepy.The few men were not there, and they went to the town at night. The women in the family didn't say anything, but they were actually worried, so they were not in the mood to have breakfast.

It was quiet in the courtyard of Lu's house.

It wasn't until almost noon that Old Man Lu came back with his sons.

Several people were busy in the world, but Lu Guili was not seen in the ox cart.

Cui's feet softened, and she said sadly: "Old man, the second girl..."

"Don't worry, the second girl is in the county medical center."

Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "What happened to the second girl, why didn't you bring her back?"

Old man Lu didn't speak, looked at his three sons, sighed and said, "Let's go in first."

A few people went to sit down in the upper room, and a few women had already heard the commotion. Seeing that the men were all in a state of distress, with dusty faces, it was estimated that they hadn't eaten yet. Go cook in the kitchen.

After eating, each went back to the house to wash up.

Mrs. Mei asked Lu Minghai to sleep for a while, but Lu Minghai didn't sleep, and only said one sentence, and he probably had to go to the room later.

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Jiaoxing from the third room came to call the couple from the second room.

Mei's heart suddenly sank.

Feeling that she was ignorant of the world in her previous life, after Lu Jiaoyue came back from life, she carefully observed everything around her.No matter what happens, whether it is related to you or not, you should observe it.Then she pondered it carefully in her heart, not to mention, it also made her understand a lot of things that she never understood in her previous life.

Because of this, Lu Jiaoyue was even more active, especially because she felt a little bit intimidated by her eldest aunt, Hu Shi, so she was very concerned about the Lu family's affairs, big and small.

She wrapped her arms around Mei Shi and went to the upper room with her parents.The three-bedroom couple had a lot of worries, but they didn't think too much about whether it was inappropriate for their daughter to come here.

In the main room of the upper room, old man Lu and Mrs. Cui sat at the head of the generous table.

The dry pipe that Old Man Lu hadn't smoked for a long time was now in his hand again.He always liked this sip, but it was a pity that his body didn't allow it, and he always coughed after smoking, so he gave up the dry tobacco slowly.

At this time, he did not know where to touch the dry pipe, stuffed the tobacco, lit the fire, put the cigarette holder in his mouth, and smoked it, the lingering smoke swirled in the air, and then drifted away. open.

"All sit down."

Everyone sat down one by one, Lu Jiaoyue stood in the corner beside her.Lu Jiaoxing stretched her head out to look in, and seeing Lu Jiaoyue was there, she lowered her head and walked in lightly, standing beside Lu Jiaoyue.

"The second girl is a little seriously ill this time, and you should all know that. The medical clinic in the town is not cheap. We spent all the money we brought this time, but it is still not enough. Now the second girl is still in the medical clinic. The restaurant is willing to continue to treat the second girl only after receiving the money. I called you here just to talk about the money."

The old man Lu's voice was very dull, and there were two coughs occasionally mixed in.He hasn't smoked this dry tobacco for a long time, and he is always choked if he is not careful.

As soon as Old Man Lu's voice fell, Qiao's exploded.

"Father, what do you mean, you want us to contribute money for the medicine?"
