Chapter 81 Sudden Bad News

The Wang family walked along the river for hundreds of feet, turned left, and came to a single courtyard, which was the second house. It lived along the river with the Wang family, only a hundred feet away, and there were three adobe houses. The yard is empty, only a few chickens are raised, the barn is full of corn stalks, and a few old birds on the roof croak from time to time.

For some reason, as soon as Mrs. Wang stepped into the courtyard of the second child's house, she always felt desolate for a while. After a closer look, yes, although this courtyard is also a newly built house, compared with her own house, it seems a little lifeless. Because Hongyu has always been ill and has no time to take care of it, wheat straw stalks blown away by the wind are scattered everywhere in the yard, the door of the kitchen is closed tightly, and there is not even a wooden basin next to the well. The sun is good these days, The laundry pole outside was empty.And the situation of my own family is not much better than that of the second family, but as soon as I enter the door, there is a thriving life everywhere.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help sighing in her heart, and yelled to the back room: "Liang Dongniang, are you in the room? Let me see you."

There was a faint coughing sound in the room, and then the window next to the kang head was opened, and a head poked out from inside, "Sister-in-law is here, come in and sit down!"

Wang groaned, pushed open the door of the main room, and went straight to the wing room.

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and asked her: "I heard Liang Dong say that you are not in good health today, come and have a look, how do you feel recently?"

Zhang Hongyu covered her mouth and coughed for a while, holding her arms to get off the kang. Seeing that she was coughing badly, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stopped her, saying that she would just sit down for a while and leave without hassle.

Zhang Hongyu took a few deep breaths, and waved to Wang, "Sister-in-law, come and sit on the kang, warming up, Liangdong added firewood in the morning."

Mrs. Wang responded, sat down in front of her, and looked at her worriedly, "You look worse today than that day, have you taken the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wei?"

Zhang Hongyu nodded, "After eating for more than ten days, Dr. Wei said that my illness is not urgent, and I need to take care of it for a long time." Then she picked up a jacket from the side of the kang to mend it, shook her head and sighed: "Tie Fu is here. In the county, there are only me and my two children at home, how can I have free time!"

Mrs. Wang took the jacket from her and scolded her: "I'll take care of it when I'm sick, and I'll just take the jacket home and do it later!"

Zhang Hongyu smiled and asked her: "Shouldn't the room be lively today? Are Liangdong and Xiujuan obedient?"

While looking at Zhang Hongyu, Wang saw that although she looked tired, she was still in good spirits, so she opened up and told her what happened today, and when she talked about the anger at her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but wiped her tears. It is said that since Baozhu was born, Man Yue made do with it until the family was separated, and never treated her well. Finally, Grandpa Baozhu remembered Baozhu and gave some rewards. Look at her face, she looks like It's like I owe her.

Zhang Hongyu told her not to be sad, saying that after all these years, she still doesn't know her mother-in-law's temperament?When you didn't get separated, you didn't stumble all day long. Now that you have separated, why are you still sad?
He also said that it made Wang think that Baozhu was raised at home like a baby, which is better than Xiujuan, and he talked about what happened to Xiujuan in the house.

Mrs. Wang knew that she must have suffered a lot of grievances these years, but never saw her mention it once. She secretly admired Hongyu's forbearance, and persuaded her: "It's good, the two of them went to the county. You also suffer from a lot of uselessness."

She smiled and replied: "No." As soon as the words fell, there was another cough, and Mrs. Wang brought her a bowl of water, and she calmed down a little after drinking the water. Xiujuan is the one who is most afraid of her mother, and her mother has left, she has become more joyful these few days."

"I don't know how long I can last with this body. I've been sick a lot since this year." She looked at Mrs. Wang, "If I suddenly die someday, I'm most worried about Liang Dongwa."

"Bah!" Wang grinned at her, "It's a big festival, what are you talking about, isn't it just a sickness from exhaustion? You can rest assured for a while, and you won't be able to recover after a year?" He took her hand again, "You If you really go, there will be sister-in-law, and you are afraid that Liangdong will not have food or clothing?"

Zhang Hongyu smiled, "For these years, thanks to the help of my elder brother and sister-in-law."

Mrs. Wang couldn't understand her sad tone, said "Hi", stood up and said goodbye, "You just need to recuperate at home, don't think about it all day, I'll go to Dr. Wei's house and ask you in detail. "

Zhang Hongyu wanted to get up to see her off, but was held down by Mrs. Wang, who smiled and said to come back in a few days, telling her to relax and take care of her.

As soon as Mrs. Wang went out, her heart sank, and she rushed to Wei Yuan's house in a hurry.

Wei Yuan was digging the ground in the herb garden, and Wang couldn't wait for him to finish his work, so he asked him through the fence: "What's wrong with the second daughter-in-law? I just saw her cough up blood!"

Wei Yuan paused, got up and wiped his sweat, put the hoe on the base of the wall, thought for a while, and said worriedly: "Ms. Zhang was overworked before he recovered from the wind and cold, which caused tuberculosis in his body."

"Consumption?!" Wang's head buzzed, he was stunned for a while, and asked him with trembling lips, "How many days are left?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and sighed: "If it is properly nursed, it will take three to five years!"

Mrs. Wang still did not give up and asked him: "Didn't you still say it was a cold disease earlier? Do you want to go to the second child's house for a consultation?"

Wei Yuan shook his head, and said hard-heartedly: "There is a saying in medical books: 'Consumption of phlegm, irritability and cough, fatigue and weakness, poor diet, bloody saliva, and emaciation of muscles. Die.’ Zhang’s symptoms are undoubtedly tuberculosis, and the result of re-examination is still the same.” After speaking, he glanced at Wang, saw her sad face, and advised her: “Although this disease is dangerous, it will not die overnight. Take good care of it, and it can always be delayed for three to five years."

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a long while, "Is there no other way? I didn't get cured of my headache earlier in the town. Isn't it easy to get the needle for half a year?"

Wei Yuan sighed heavily, and said with a wry smile: "There is no cure for this disease, we can only rest and procrastinate, my sister still wants to take some medicine."

Mrs. Wang sighed and sighed for a while, and said that such a good person as Hongyu had a hard life. She still couldn't accept such a fact, let alone Hongyu, so she asked him with a sullen face: "How can Hongyu still suffer?" Don't you know?"

Wei Yuan nodded, "I'm just saying that it's because I'm tired and injured, and I don't have enough energy and blood. Recently, I planned to take the time to tell Brother Tiegui the truth, and my sister came here before I thought about it." He told her: "You have to live well when you go back. Advise Mrs. Zhang, the decoction must not be cut off, and the work in the field must not be done any more."

Wang went back to the house full of worries, called the whole family together, talked about the matter with a sullen face, and discussed with her husband how to solve it.

For one thing, Zhang Hongyu's illness must not be delayed any longer, and there are only a few precious medicinal materials left by Dr. Wei's family. If he wants to take them for a long time, he has to go to the county to buy them. It can't be broken, the matter of money is a big problem.

Second, from now on, Hongyu will not be able to go to the field no matter what, and Liangdong can't do the work in the field alone. If the daughter-in-law has a serious illness, can the husband stand by and watch?
According to Chen Tiegui's opinion, the sister-in-law's medicine money is supported by each family. Fortunately, it can be delayed for a few years. The migrant workers in the county are not in a hurry for the past few years. If everyone contributes some money and effort, the matter will be resolved.

Of course, this matter has to be discussed with the head of the Chen family, Chen Erniu. The next day, he went to the Chen family's old home and told his parents about it. Not far away, it was rare for Chen Liushi not to talk nonsense, saying that the money for buying medicine in the town came from her family, and among the daughters-in-law, Hongyu was the one who was most in line with her wishes, and those who contributed money and labor would also treat her. sick!

Soon, Chen Erniu came forward to contact Cuixi in the county again, and told her to bring a message to Tie Fu. His daughter-in-law was sick with tuberculosis, so no matter what happened outside, she should hurry back to the house.

Tie Fu got the news and came back at the end of the month. When Qian heard that it was tuberculosis, she was so frightened that she took Xiujuan back to her own room, saying that the whole family was affected by the trouble.

Chen Erniu didn't like this newcomer daughter-in-law at all. Over the years, because of her, the Chen family made a lot of ugly appearances in the village, which made him unable to hold his head up in front of outsiders. Chen Erniu was also stubborn. Ever since Qian's family came in, she hadn't even entered into the Chen family's house. At this moment, she knew she couldn't be counted on, so she just told Tie Fu that she should pay more attention to the field affairs in the future, and Hongyu would never be tired.

Tie Fu immediately stated that he must take good care of Hong Yu until she passed away.Only then did Chen Erniu feel relieved, saying that the former had looked down on the second child after all, and that the second child still valued affection, and even though he made a mistake, he still had affection for Hongyu.

Who would have imagined that, as soon as he arrived at Nian Gen'er, Tie Fu sneaked away with Qian Shi!When the Chen family heard the news, they had already left for two or three days, and Chen Erniu, who was so angry, made a big fuss at home and made up his mind not to recognize his second son in the future.

As soon as Tie Fu left, the work in the field could only be done by the eldest and the third child. Fortunately, the two sons were kind-hearted, and Hongyu had accumulated good relationships on weekdays. No matter how tired you are, you have to help me, and this matter will be resolved.

Thinking of the second aunt who was terminally ill at a young age, Baozhu felt sad for a while. In her heart, besides her own family, the members of the Chen family liked the second aunt the most. Thinking about the previous life, medicine had already conquered tuberculosis. But in this day and age, if you get tuberculosis, you have to wait to die.

She picked up a pebble and threw it viciously towards the frozen river. For a while, she hated being born in this ancient time with a low level of medical care. Apart from following her mother to visit her second aunt every now and then, she could only Like others, I helplessly watched my second aunt's life perish under the wheel of time, and there was no other way.

Wei Sipei walked up to her at some point, stroked her shoulders, looked at her softly, and handed her a wooden box, "I made a snack box out of wood these days, do Baozhu like it?"

Baozhu took it from him, keeping her mouth shut, and he smiled, "When Baozhu goes to deliver food to Second Aunt, I can use this food box." He deftly opened the lid of the box with both hands, "Look, what's inside is Two floors, each floor has four grids."

Only then did Baozhu show a smiling face, gently took his hand, and looked up at him: "Brother Sipei, if you become a doctor in the future, you must find a way to save more people."

Wei Sipei pursed his lips, the sun shone on his body, coating his face with a layer of dazzling golden brilliance, "Yes, I will be like my father, save more people without taking any money!"
