C116 (1/2)
The four people in the car didn't notice that someone was following them. Because of the injury on Liu Jianguo's leg, Ning Haitao told the donkey to walk slowly to minimize the bumps.
Liu Shufang put the blanket bag behind her brother's back, allowing him to lean on her. Seeing that he had swollen to the thickness of a leg, she couldn't help but tear up.
”Brother, does it hurt? You've suffered. ”
Liu Jianguo saw that his sister was crying for him. His ankle had recovered a bit, but today, he was anxious to protect Harland. He had twisted it again. Now, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
However, he didn't want his sister and Harland to worry about him. He clenched his teeth and pretended to be relaxed as he tried to persuade his sister.
”Shufang, don't cry, I'm not in pain.”
”Hai Tao, let's take Big Bro's stuff home first and then take Big Bro to the hospital to have a look. It can't be that his bones are broken, right?”
Liu Shufang looked worriedly at her brother's ankle, which had been badly injured for a hundred days. If her brother's ankle was going to break, then he had to be well nourished, or else walking would become a problem in the future.
”Sure, I heard that there's an old Chinese doctor who's very strong. Take your big brother there to take a look.”
Ning Hai Tao nodded and agreed, then he told his wife everything he knew.
”Alright.”
Shufang knew in her heart that going to the hospital was too expensive. They might not even have enough money on their hands right now. Righteousness was very useful in modern times, especially for these old doctors who were skilled.
Perhaps it could be cured in a moment. This would save him a bit of money.
As they talked along the way, Harland and Jianguo felt uneasy. Although their sister and brother-in-law had comforted them, they were still at a loss after leaving home. They didn't know what to do in the future.
Especially Liu Jianguo, who felt that he was a piece of trash who would implicate his sister and his wife. He blamed himself in his heart.
Soon, they arrived at the rented house. When they opened the door, both Liu Jianguo and Harland were pleasantly surprised.
This was much better than their original home. Although the house wasn't big, it was still quiet enough and was a hundred times better than their little house.
After entering the door, they saw that the walls were newly painted. The house was brightly lit, and the cooking pots and pans were ready. Even the utensils were ready. They loved this house too much.
”Shufang, whose house is this?”
Liu Jianguo looked at his sister and asked, ”She just got married not too long ago and hasn't been married for a month, why did she settle down in the city?”
”Big brother, I rented this place. I want to do business in the city, and it's not inconvenient to have a house here. Since you and sister-in-law are my companions, I can go do business together with you. There's no problem with living with me. It's easy to earn money in the city. ”
Liu Shufang comforted her brother. She had planned to bring them to earn money together and to make life better so that her brother would not suffer any more.
”Shufang, you're quite capable now. I don't even know you anymore.”
Liu Jianguo looked at his sister excitedly. He didn't know why? He would believe what she said, but no matter what, his sister wouldn't lie to him.
”Let's go!” ”Take a look at your ankle. Sister-in-law, you don't need to go. I have three coins and five kilograms of food stamps. You should go buy some food and set some rules at home.”
Liu Shufang passed the money and food stamps to her sister-in-law. Three pieces of money wasn't a small amount. She could buy five or six catties of flour, or several dozens of catties of coarse grain!
She still had some money in her pocket, but she had to keep it for the doctor.
”This …”
