Spring is in full bloom

Chapter 40: the culprit "Niang, Niang, wake up!" Xu Xing'er went up and picked up Ye Shi, trying to hold her on the Kang, but because he was too weak, he couldn't do such a difficult thing. She simply pulled a quilt off the Kang, spread it on the ground, lay Ye Shi on the floor, and reached out to grab her people. It was not easy to hear her moan and turn to wake up. Xu Xing'er was a little relieved, pulled over Ta'er, wiped away the tears on her face, and told her: "after sister goes out, you bolt the door from the inside, and look at mother carefully. Except for Dad and me, other people are not allowed to open the door..." After talking about it for a long time, she was still in a daze when she saw Ta'er. She grabbed Ta'er's shoulder and shook it for two times and said, "do you understand what the elder sister said?" Ta'er nodded and sobbed, "I know." Xu Xing'er listened to Ta'er bolt the door, and then he looked sharp. He grabbed a kitchen knife in the kitchen and rushed out. She saw that the two men were talking to Lao xutou, and she didn't hear what they were saying. She directly chopped them, no matter whether they were chopped or not. The whole person went mad and continued to chop one knife after another. Old Xu tou was startled by his granddaughter. He quickly reached for her and shouted, "Xing'er, what are you doing!" Xu Xing'er's eyes were staring scarlet, and the whole person's expression was distorted. He was struggling under Lao xutou, and he said, "you let me go, let me cut these two bastards..." "Pa!" old Xu almost couldn't hold her, and a slap fan was on her face, "you girl, crazy?" "......" Xu Xing'er covered his hot face, and his muscles were constantly shaking. The whole person was stunned on the spot, gasping for breath, his thin body rising and falling, his eyes blazing fire at the two people, and he said, "what are you doing in my house?" The cold faced man was just cut to his arm. Now he raised his hand to cover the wound, and blood was constantly dripping from his fingers. He looked at the look of Xu Xing'er, slightly surprised, but he still said: "your father owes us 52 silver, we are just here to beg..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Xing'er cried out, "52 silver is just for 52 silver. Are you going to force people to die?" "You, little girl, the tone is not small, it's only 52 silver, so you take out the silver, and we'll pay on the spot." the man is still smiling, but his eyes are cold. "We asked for the bill in a proper way. We didn't speak or start. How could we force you to die?" the facial paralysis man also couldn't help opening up. "My mother fainted and didn't feel it, and you still have the face to say that it's just a matter of rules and regulations!" Xu Xing'er went out of the ground angry, almost broke away from the master's hands, "your mother is not in the house, we didn't move half of her fingers." the man said inappropriately, "we're just here to collect debt, for 52 silver, who will cause human life." "52 silver? Bah!" Xu Xing'er spat, "my father and mother didn't borrow money at all. You can ask for the wrong debt. If my mother has a problem, I will not let you go!" The cold faced man was silent for a moment, and said: "it's a matter of debt or not, wait for your father to come back. Now the more important thing is to ask your mother a doctor to see." "You don't have to pretend to be good!" Xu Xing'er said hatefully. At this time, Xu Laosan came back from the outside, surprised at what he saw, and asked: "what's the matter?" "Dad..." Xu Xing'er cried out with a whoop, and the kitchen knife in her hand also fell to the ground. She struggled to get rid of the shackles of Lao Xu's head, and rushed to Xu Laosan's arms and said, "Dad, my mother has fainted, so I'm going to ask for a doctor." Xu Laosan was shocked by the speech and called to open the door of the house. He saw Ye Shi lying on the ground with a pale face. He lunged forward and put his arm around her shoulder. He asked, "what's wrong? What's wrong?" Ye Shi opened his eyes and saw Xu Laosan. His lips were shaking but he couldn't speak. His tears flowed down his cheek in silence, and the whole person almost wanted to smoke. Xu Laosan was so anxious that he hugged Ye Shi hard and said in a chorus: "don't talk first, don't say anything, have a good rest, and I'm going to ask the doctor." then he picked up Ye Shi and put it on the Kang, and turned to leave. Ye Shi grabbed Xu Laosan's Cape, looked at him with tears in her eyes, opened her mouth several times, and finally asked: "you, you owe money outside?" "No, I don't know." Xu Laosan didn't know why Ye Shi suddenly asked such a sentence, "you don't know who I am!" "Well!" Ye Shi nodded comfortingly and said with tears, "I believe you." Xu Laosan got up and went to the courtyard. He just began to ask: "what is the matter and what money do you owe? Who are you? Why do you come to my house?" At the same time, the cold face man also suddenly said: "it's not this person!" He left in a hurry to ask the doctor. Xu Xing'er immediately blew up when he heard this. He went up to fight and kick and scolded: "it's not clear who is in debt. Two big men went to other people's houses to bully women and children. What kind of men are they? Go home and find a rope to hang them. You don't want to be shameful?..." The cold faced man stood silent, allowing Xu Xing'er to beat and scold, and the wound on his arm was still bleeding. Xu Laosi hugged Xing'er from the back and comforted him with a bunch of voices: "Xing'er, stop fighting and go to the house to see your mother." Xu Xing'er's chest undulates violently. After a long time, he calmed down, clenched his teeth and asked, "how about the receipt? I'll take a look." Taking the IOU from the cold faced man, Xu Xing'er carefully looked at the signature and raised his head to ask: "the handwriting on the signature is the same as that on the top, that is to say, it is written by the person who established the IOU, and only the back monogram and handprint are from the borrower?" "Well, the person who owes money can't read, so he just let him draw a pledge." the man with a cold face frowned and thought for a moment, "the person who came with him called him Xu laodi, and then he said his name. The man was a little shorter than your father, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar, it's difficult..." Xu Xing'er also thought of a possibility. She grabbed the cold face man's sleeve and dragged him out. She went straight to the xulaoer's door, clapped the door and shouted, "no, I'm not home. Someone came to see you and said that I'm going to invite you to dinner. I went to the wrong door to find my family." The man with a cold face pulled his lips, looked down at Xu Xing'er, and couldn't help but ask: "you're such a liar... You come here with your mouth open!" Xu Xing'er gave him a white look and ignored him. He heard footsteps coming from the courtyard. Later, Xu Yier opened the door and asked, "who would invite me to dinner?" The cold faced man was quick and quick. He grabbed his skirt and pulled the man out. With a black face, he said: "it's just that you don't pay the debt. You can also report your brother's name. You can really do it." Xu Laoer was startled, holding the door frame with both hands and refusing to release, shaking his head desperately: "you recognize the wrong person, not me, I don't owe you money." "You don't know it's silver if you don't owe money." Xu Xing'er was angry, and he couldn't go up and hammer him a few times. The cold face man was very strong. He pulled Xu's collar, half carried and half dragged people to the courtyard of Xu Xing'er's home, threw them among several people who were quarreling in the courtyard, and said, "it's this person who is in debt." The old Xu head was shocked, and then slapped his two sons in the face and scolded: "you don't worry about something. You are so capable, you dare to gamble, you dare to borrow money, and you dare to buckle the shit pot on the third head. It's really good!" Xu Laoer hid behind his face and said: "Dad, no, I was, I was, and I was sad when my son was gone. I just want to go to relieve the depression, who knows..." "Son of a bitch!" old Xu was gasping, and he had to fight again. Xu Laosi hurriedly went up again and stopped him saying: "Dad, don't fight first. How can the second brother owe others money?" Lao Xu's head was choking, straightening his neck, and after a long time, he said, "I know what to do. I haven't seen what 52 silver looks like in my life, and he dares to sign on the IOU." After that, he said to two debt collectors: "you can also see that my son, who is not an adult, can pay back the money. If he doesn't, I can't care. What should you do?" Xu Laoer was immediately flustered, kneeling in front of Lao Xu's head, holding his leg and crying, "Dad, you can't ignore me, I'm your son, Dad..." "Go away, I don't have such a bear's son." the old Xu head kicked Xu's second son away, and walked away with a strong hand. At this time, Xu Laosan invited the doctor back. He saw the situation in the courtyard, and he understood seven or eight points. His anxious face suddenly became a little more gloomy. He endured the attack first, and asked the doctor to enter the room to feel the pulse for Ye Shi, asking Xu Xing'er to take care of it in the room. Xu Laosan closed the door and walked to Xu Laoer step by step. He stared at him tightly and didn't speak for a long time. Xu Laoer was sweating from his eyes, rubbing his hands and laughing: "third, don't be angry, I'm just afraid that your sister-in-law is worried about me. I was confused at that time... Ouch..." Before he finished speaking, he was punched in the left eye by Xu Laosan, shouted, fell back to the ground, and shouted: "Laosan, what are you doing? I didn't say you should pay for me, you..." No matter what he said, Xu Laosan went up and lifted him, put a knee on his stomach, put all the words behind him back, and then kept falling, so that he couldn't say a whole word. He could only lie on the ground and hum for forgiveness. First of all, Xu Laosi felt that the second elder brother deserved what he had done. It was pitiful to see that he was beaten black and white. But looking at the mad appearance of the third elder brother, he didn't dare to say what he comforted. He could only stick his hands and stand on the side. "Die!" suddenly, there was a shout from the door, "stop it for me!" The forty-first chapter the tangle of Xu Laosan "What are you doing?" Mrs. Xu rushes in, grabs Mr. Xu's hand and says, "it's the opposite of you. There's no size left, even your brother." Xu Laosan's face was red, and he threw away Xu's hand, and said, "mother, why don't you ask what the second brother did!" This is the first time that Xu Laosan was so big, he contradicted his mother. As soon as he spoke, the two people's bodies immediately froze. Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cried out: "how can my life be so hard, people say raising children to prevent old age, and my children in turn disobey me. Now my arms and legs are still active, and you are like this when people are not ill. Later if I can't move on the Kang, I can still count on you?" Xu Laosan frowned and stood still. If he had been in the past, no matter whether it was his fault or not, he would have knelt down and pleaded with Mrs. Xu. But now he just felt that he was in a state of depression and could not find a way to vent. He asked himself that he didn't feel sorry for his parents and his brothers and sisters. He also rushed to do dirty work at home. Now I was bullied by my second brother, and my wife was still lying on the Kang in the house. I don't know what it was like. My mother came in indiscriminately and accused herself first This is the first time that Xu Laosan questioned his mother and his filial piety. But now he has no time to think about it. The doctor in the house has already diagnosed the pulse, looked at Xu Xing'er and Ta'er with a solemn face, and came out to greet Xu Laosan: "Laosan, you come in and I'll tell you." "Doctor Feng, how is my daughter-in-law?" Doctor Feng sighed and stroked his beard: "he was pale, his tongue was purple and dark, and his pulse was thick and thin. At ordinary times, Yi Xinji was sweating, his chest was stuffy and short of breath, and he even hurt his shoulders and back..." Xu Laosan heard that he was full of fog, but Xu Xing'er was on the side, but he heard some ways. He was surprised and asked tentatively: "my mother is a heart disease?" Doctor Feng looked at Xu Xing'er in an unexpected way, nodded first and then shook his head: "it's not all, it's very sad and indignant, and it's a heart disease because of fatigue. But the patient's body Yang deficiency is also melancholy, tired and injured the spleen, biochemical passive, lack of Qi and blood, so that the heart lost its nourishment. This is the chest Bi of Yang Qi deficiency and failure, and has Yang damage and Yin. It should be used as soon as possible, blood circulation, Qi and blood circulation, Qi and blood circulation, Qi and Yang..." He said there was a slight pause, looked at Xu Laosan with a complex expression, sighed and said: "I'll give you a prescription first, at least for a while, or with her body, I'm afraid it won't last too long." As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Laosan and Xu Xing'er were shocked. Although they had known that Ye Shi's body was not good, they did not expect that it had reached such a level. Xu Xing'er first came to her senses and said, "doctor, although you prescribe medicine, my mother's body matters." she knows that it's not a time of panic and distress, although she is really flustered and bitter, and she is patient to help doctor Feng prepare paper and pen. The prescription was soon opened. Xu Xing'er took it and swept it. Let's not talk about anything else. At a glance, he saw ginseng, aconite, Danshen and other things. He felt that his hands and feet were cold. Under his own conditions, even if such a medicine can be bought temporarily, how long can it last? As the saying goes, it's hard to beat a hero with one cent. Now I finally realize the bitterness in this sentence. Xu Xing'er holds a prescription and stands at the table in a daze. He doesn't know what to do for a long time. Doctor Feng obviously knows the situation of the Xu family, and sighs: "I don't want to use such a good medicine, but she has such a problem. It's still tough, but her situation is not good. She needs to use some good medicine to first recuperate, and then slowly warm up. Take this medicine for three days, and then I'll check my pulse. How about it then?" "OK, thank you, doctor. I will take some medicine." Xu Laosan nodded, took the consultation money to doctor Feng, and sent the person out. It was only when I arrived at the hospital that I found that the people who were noisy before had disappeared now, and I don't know when they left. Xu Xing'er was staring at the prescriptions in the house and was dazed. She was thinking about which of these medicines could be collected on the mountain, but what she knew was limited after all. She only knew that ginseng, Schisandra and so on grew in the mountain on her own side, and the rest only knew the name but did not know the appearance. She sighed and wrote down her name in her heart, intending to ask Shanzi to make another plan, but she was already thinking about how to get the money for the current dispensing. Seeing Xu Laosan, she came back and asked: "Dad, what should I do with the money for the dispensing? Do you want to go to Ye Nai to get the money?" Xu Laosan nodded. He knew that Mrs. Xu was only in and out. How difficult it would be to ask for money from her, but there was no other way. He scratched his hair, sighed and thought, as long as he was more attentive at ordinary times, he would not ask the doctor to see Ye Shi when he was so sick. As long as he had more skills, he would not even know where to raise money for his daughter-in-law. Xu Xing'er had the ginseng sent by Wu Laosan in her arms, but she didn't immediately take it out to Xu Laosan. It wasn't that she didn't want to give it to Ye Shi, but she saw the struggle and doubt in Xu Laosan's eyes, knew that he had doubts about his own situation, and began to resist and complain about the injustice of Xu Laosan. From the perspective of Xu Xing'er, it's a good transformation and thinking. She needs a catalyst to let Xu Laosan agree or even actively ask for separation. Today's things have obviously played a catalytic role. She knew that Xu Laosan was an honest man, and she also had no heart to embarrass him, but there was some pain. He had to experience it in person to understand the pain. So Xu Xing'er didn't look up and didn't open up. The whole person was standing in the shadow, pitiful and helpless. Seeing this, Xu felt very sad. He reached out and rubbed his daughter's hair and said, "don't worry, Dad, go get the money." "Dad..." Xu Xing'er raised his head in some confusion, shouted, but then swallowed what he wanted to say. His face was full of tangles, and his tears couldn't help but swirl in his eyes. Xu Laosan didn't understand his daughter's meaning, thought she was just worried about Ye Shi, smiled at her comfortingly, and turned to the old house. Along the way, Xu Laosan thought about the difficulties Xu old lady might have and how he should deal with them. When he came to the door of the old house, he raised his feet and put them down. The low threshold at the entrance of the old house, which has been seriously worn, seems so hard to cross now. "Third brother, how can you stand here and come into the house quickly." Xu Lingzi found Xu Laosan first and pulled him into the house. "I heard that my father said that my sister-in-law was ill and I wanted to see it. Why don't you take care of my sister-in-law at home?" "I'm going to ask my mother to get the money and fill the medicine for your sister-in-law." Xu Laosan came into the house to see Mrs. Xu not at home, and he was very relieved. He couldn't say whether he was disappointed or relieved. Xu Lingzi looks a little strange, hesitates for a moment and whispers: "I'll ask my father, if he agrees to take money, I'll give it to you directly, otherwise when my mother comes back, I'm afraid it's hard to pay." When Xu Laosan heard this, he was more and more upset. In his heart, even Xiaomei knew what kind of person mother was, and why he had been living in obscurity. He nodded at a loss and watched Xu Lingzi turn and enter the east room, whispering something to Xu tou. "If you are ill, you still have to ask me if you want to take the money. It's really more alive and more back." old Xu's voice is not small, and the tone is also very voice, but at this time, the voice in the ears of Xu Laosan is so sweet and warm. The sound of unlocking the key and opening the box came from the room immediately, and then Xu Lingzi shouted: "Dad, why is our money gone?" Old Xu head didn't take it seriously and said: "you can't flip it, you can't be sure it's tucked under the clothes." The rustling sound of turning things was so disturbing that Xu Laosan couldn't wait at the door. He just picked the curtain and went into the house, watching Xu Lingzi search. Xu Lingzi turned more and more white. She had touched the bottom of the box. What was locked in her cabinet was several strings of copper coins, not scattered silver. She could just put them there and didn't see them for a while. She felt more and more wrong. She turned to Lao Xu and said, "Dad, the money is really gone. I opened the box yesterday, a total of eight coins, and it was placed well. You see, now there is no shadow of a copper coin." Old Xu frowned at the words and said, "there is still ghost in that house..." before he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his face and asked Xu Lingzi, "where did your mother just say she went?" "Ah?" Xu Lingzi didn't know why old Xu asked about it. She was stunned and said, "mother said go to Aunt Hu's house in the front to talk for a while..." she said that she also seemed to understand that the key to her box, except for her own, is only in the hands of old lady Xu. Now the box is not broken but the money is gone. The only possibility is that old lady Xu took it away from her family. "But what do you do with so much money?" Xu Lingzi still can't understand. Xu Laosan raised his feet and walked straight to Xu lao'er's house. He was still far away from home and could hear the crying noise. From time to time, he heard the fighting voice. The voice of Xu lao'er was clearly distinguishable. "Yingzi mother, don't fight any more. The second one knows that he's wrong. He's just sad because the tiger is gone, so he went to grab a few cards. He won't dare to go later." "Bah, it's more difficult for me to lose my son. Do you also have to go out and touch two?" Li Shi insisted, and continued to go to xulaoer, "you are capable. You dare to borrow 52 silver. Have you seen what 52 silver is like? You are a spendthrift gambler. I was really blind at that time, how could I follow you such a coward..." "Oh, Yingzi, please don't grab it. Your nails are so long. You can grab a blood purlin! Mrs. Xu painfully stopped, "my mother has returned all the money to you. Let's stop living!" At this time, Xu Laosan was standing at the door of the house, and did not see the two people Lizheng was tearing. His eyes fell on the table in a daze, and the small half of the hanging money to untie the rope was spread on the top. He tried to swallow and spit, and asked in a hoarse voice: "mother, my eight hanging money... Is the only one left?"
