Dad, Did You Study Today?

Liu Si, a neighbor, carried in Mrs. Sun, followed by an angry-looking Old Zhou and a red-eyed Mrs. Wang.

Behind them was a great number of people.

Mrs. Wang wept as if she could not stop, “Mother, my poor mother! Your two sons won’t go to the farm, forcing their parents to care for the land. What kind of misfortune have you made at this age?

Mrs. Wang cried all the way.

Zhou Huailin was scared when he saw Mrs. Sun being carried, and his face immediately turned white. He quickly went over, took Mrs. Sun from Liu Si, and ran towards the main house.

Mrs. Wang stood in the courtyard crying, pointing at Zhou Qing and cursing, “Are you satisfied now? You have been making trouble daily, and your grandma is now like this. Are you happy? In the end, what do you have in mind? You encouraged your father and Third Uncle to stop going to the farm, forcing your grandfather and grandmother to go at an old age.”

The villagers who followed her pointed fingers as Mrs. Wang cried and scolded.

“Yes, I’ve never heard of a family with three sons who don’t go to the farm and let their parents do it to their death.”

“Unfilial! If my son dares to do so, I will break his legs.”

“Shanzi is an honest man. How could he do such a heartless thing.”

……

Zhou Qing frowned as she listened to the accusations and watched Mrs. Wang’s spirited performance of crying and cursing.

“Eldest Aunt, although my father did not go to the farm, he gave my grandfather the hundred money to hire people for three days. How come he did not hire people? Did the money go to the First House to spend again?”

The crowd around ……

“What? Shanzi gave money?”

“I told you that Shanzi can not be that ungrateful. Look, he gave his money to hire people.”

“Why didn’t they hire someone after taking the money?”

When she heard that the wind had changed, Mrs. Wang cursed at the top of her lungs, “Everyone, let’s judge, whose daughter runs away all day? Is there a wild man out there trying to seduce your soul or something that makes you stay away from home day after day? It’s not enough, but you still don’t stop when you get home. You make trouble all day long.”

It was no secret that Zhou Qing followed Cheng Wu into the town. Everyone knew that Zhou Qing wanted to go to find a living.

However, when Mrs. Wang said this…

Mrs. Wang was Zhou Qing’s Eldest Aunt.

Was Zhou Qing outside ……

After listening to Mrs. Wang’s vicious words, Zhou Qing vaguely felt that Mrs. Sun’s fainting seemed a bit fishy.

From the field to home, the road was far away. Logically, the Eldest Uncle should have gotten the news long ago, but why was he nowhere to be seen?

Moreover, her grandmother was sick, but the people at home were not hurrying to find a doctor. Therefore, what was Mrs. Wang’s problem with her?

After thinking about it, Zhou Qing walked out.

“Damn girl, where are you going again? You’ll run away now when it’s unclear whether your grandmother is alive or dead. Is there any conscience left in you?”

When she saw Zhou Qing heading out, Mrs. Wang cursed at the top of her lungs.

“Is there someone out there who is seducing your soul?”

“I’m going to look for Eldest Uncle. Grandma’s fainting is such a big deal. Why isn’t Eldest Uncle back already?”

Zhou Qing responded loudly and headed out.

The crowd of onlookers ……

Huh, right! The eldest seemed to be missing.

What was he doing?

Didn’t someone go to the school to inform him?

Why didn’t he rush back?

“Come back here. Why do you need to look for your Eldest Uncle? We still don’t know if your grandmother is alive or dead, but you want to run away when possible. Who knows whether you will look for your Eldest Uncle or a wild man? What a disgrace.”

Zhou Qing ignored Mrs. Wang’s vicious curses and went straight to the clan elder’s house after leaving the courtyard.

Once Zhou Qing left, Mrs. Wang cursed a few times and turned to go inside the main room.

Mrs. Sun was lying on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, moaning in pain, and her tears were flowing.

Mrs. Wang entered and went to Mrs. Sun.

“My mother. Nothing must happen to you.”

Old Zhou sat on one side with his dark face, holding a cigarette stick and twisting the fabric rope on the stick.

“Father, go get a doctor. Mother is like this, and we can’t just wait like this.” Zhou Huailin’s face was white. He was worried and stood by Mrs. Sun’s head.

Mrs. Wang turned to glower at Zhou Huailin.

“You still have the face to say? Would Mother be so tired if it weren’t for your nonsense with Qing? Mother fainted for what? It was because she was farming for you.”

Zhou Huailin looked at Mrs. Sun’s appearance and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhou Ping stood on the side of Zhou Huailin. He tilted his head and looked at Mrs. Wang, “What do you mean by farming for my father? My father farmed the land and harvested grain. After he sold them, my father gave all the silver to you to spend.”

Mrs. Wang glared fiercely at Zhou Ping, “At such a young age, you followed Qing and learned to contradict the elders? Look at your Big Brother. Why don’t you learn from him?”

Zhou Ping said, “I also want to, but Grandpa won’t let me go to school. How can I learn from Big Brother?”

This sentence choked Mrs. Wang, and did not say anything. She howled at the top of her lungs.

Right then, Zhou Huaihai came back from outside with a shout.

“What did Mother say? Mother, Mother, are you all right.”

Zhou Huaihai walked in and spoke words of concern for Mrs. Sun, but his fist went straight to Zhou Huailin’s face.

A banging punch.

Zhou Huailin was caught off guard and almost fell backward from the blow.

Zhou Huaihai’s face was blue with anger, “Are you satisfied now? Look what this family has become for you! Mother is lying on the bed. Are you satisfied?”

Zhou Huailin wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke to Old Zhou, “Father, it’s better to call the doctor first. I’ll go now.”

Zhou Huaihai pulled Zhou Huailin’s hand.

“Invite a doctor? Can you see for a moment? When you followed the girl every day, how could Mother’s body withstand it? Would Mother be like this if you did not stay off the farm? Breaking your legs is the right thing to do, you unfilial son.

Zhou Huaihai was scolding when Zhou Qing’s voice sounded outside.

“Please.”

When they heard these, the people in the room were all stunned.

Zhou Ping ran outside.

Zhou Qing entered the main room, leading the doctor she had invited from the clan elder’s house.

The doctor had just finished seeing the clan elder’s wife and was about to leave when she went there.

It was better to be early than late.

He was the doctor from the town’s Medical Food Hall, and people from the nearby eight villages all asked him to see them when they were sick.

As soon as the doctor entered, Mrs. Wang and Zhou Huaihai looked at each other.

Zhou Huaihai grabbed Zhou Qing’s arm, “What are you doing, Qing?”

Zhou Qing looked puzzled and shook off Zhou Huaihai.

“Grandma is sick, so I asked a doctor to see her. It just so happens that the doctor is at the Third Master’s house treating his wife. Look how coincidental this is. What’s the point of yelling at me? When your mother is sick, can she get better by scolding me and my Third Uncle without hiring a doctor? For those who know, she is sick. For those who don’t know, they will think she is pretending to be sick.”

Zhou Huaihai suddenly darkened his face.

“Little brat, what kind of words are you saying.”

He raised his hand and slapped Zhou Qing’s face.

Zhou Huaishan, who had just come in, caught his arm.

“Mother is sick, and my daughter asked the doctor to see her. What’s wrong with that?” Zhou Huaishan leaned against the door frame and stood in the doorway. He looked at Zhou Huaihai with an unkind gaze, “Why won’t Big Brother let the doctor see her?”

The doctor stood on the spot and looked over at Old Zhou, “The consultation fee has been paid. What’s the issue with that?”

Old Zhou’s pitch-black face showed his cheekbone muscles throbbing a little.

Zhou Qing didn’t wait for Old Zhou to speak and pointed at Mrs. Sun lying on the bed, “Please take a look at her.”
