Chapter 17 Taking Parents to Town for Medical Treatment
After reuniting with her biological parents, Li Mengyue looked after her family members, some of whom were sick, some had broken legs, and her twin brother had no ability to take care of himself.
As the only person in charge of the family, she decided to take on the responsibility of taking care of her family first.
"Dad, your leg can't be delayed any longer. The same goes for Mom's illness. I'll take you to the town to see a doctor later." Li Mengyue said without any room for argument.
"My daughter, Dad's leg is fine. You don't need to go to town. You just need to get some medicine for your mother." Li An refused.
"Father, what are you talking about? Your legs are more important. If you never..." As she spoke, Wan Niang's tears fell again.
Li Mengyue looked at her mother, and in the blink of an eye, tears started flowing down, which made her amazed.
I used to hear men in the organization say that women are made of water, and now it seems that this is absolutely true.
"Okay, listen to me. Let's all go to town, including the twins." Li Mengyue didn't want to waste time on meaningless arguments, so she made the decision directly.
When the twins heard their sister say that they could go to town too, huge smiles appeared on their faces.
You know, they had never been to the town before, and they had just almost been sold, so they didn't dare to stay at home alone. They were so happy to be able to go with their sister this time.
It took less than half an hour for Li An to recognize his daughter. During this time, he could feel his daughter's decisive character.
Therefore, when his daughter decided that the whole family should go to town, he did not raise any objections, but asked the twins to go to Uncle Lao Gen's house to borrow a bullock cart.
After all, the village is twenty miles away from the town, and it takes more than an hour to walk there. If you don’t bring anything with you, you will be very tired by the time you reach the town.
If my leg was fine, I would definitely not worry my daughter.
Li Mengyue didn't care what her parents were thinking. She wanted to take them to town as soon as possible while it was still early. In addition to seeing a doctor, she also wanted to buy some daily necessities.
You have to know that when she stood in the room, she could see everything in the room clearly at a glance.
A bed. Although the bedding on it is clean, the dense patches on it silently tell of the poverty of this family.
Li Mengyue thought that the Li family lived in a big blue brick and tile house in the village and their living conditions would be relatively good. Unexpectedly, this was just what she thought. Her parents' room was more shabby than she had imagined. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a bare house.
When I thought about living this kind of life with my parents in the future, I suddenly felt bad.
She did not forget the purpose of returning to Xinghua Village, which was to live comfortably in her old age, not to lead a hard life.
So she immediately decided to take her parents to the town to see a doctor and buy some things. She also had the idea of dividing the family and building a new house.
Only after the family was separated, and she was loved and cared for by her parents, could she live a comfortable life.
It’s just that in this era, parents don’t separate the family, but in the past it was not easy to separate parents from Lao Li’s family.
Now, in the eyes of old man Li and his wife, the second branch is probably a burden to the whole family. Even for himself, since his reputation has been almost ruined by Li Ran, he is not of much value in the eyes of old man Li and old lady Li, and they will not take it to heart.
If you just want to divide the family property successfully, you have to find a suitable opportunity and not let your parents be branded as unfilial.
When Li Mengyue was thinking about how to divide the family, the twins came back with an elderly man.
To avoid suspicion, the old man did not enter the room, but stood outside the door and talked to Li An. "Li An, the twins said that you are going to the town to see a doctor."
"Yes, Uncle Lao Gen, I want to see the leg again." Li An looked at the broken leg and said with a clenched fist.
"Of course you should, of course you should. This concerns the rest of your life. Also, if you can't stand up, how will Wan Niang and her mother live in the future?" Uncle Lao Gen, with a weathered look on his face, comforted dryly.
I guess the honest uncle Lao Gen knew that it would be useless to say more, so he directly suggested: "Well, it's getting late, I'll ask Zhuzi to come over and carry you to the ox cart." After saying that, he was about to go outside to call for help.
"No need." As soon as Li Mengyue finished speaking, she swiftly picked up Li An.
Before Li An could recover from being picked up by his daughter, he was already sitting on the ox cart.
Afterwards, Li Mengyue turned around and went back to the room, took down the patched bedding on the bed, and spread it on the relatively clean ox cart.
Then he arranged the mother and the twins onto the ox cart.
Seeing that everything for the whole family had been arranged clearly by her, Li Mengyue nodded with satisfaction.
Uncle Lao Gen, who was standing nearby, was greatly surprised by Li Mengyue's actions. He did not expect that the seemingly weak little girl could lift up a grown man effortlessly and walk very steadily without any swaying.
She was also very thoughtful. She knew that her father had leg pain and couldn't stand the bumpy ride, so she spread bedding on the cart.
He was already very shocked, but who knew that the little girl would run to the Li family's kitchen and take a lot of food and drinks.
You should know that Old Mrs. Li is a well-known stingy person in the village. Usually she is the only one who takes advantage of others. Now someone has taken so many things from the kitchen, but she dared not say a word.
In fact, what he didn't know was that when Old Mrs. Li saw so many things being taken away, she was so heartbroken that she almost bled.
But due to Li Mengyue's fighting ability, he was afraid of being beaten again, so he could only be angry but not say anything.
After Li Mengyue left, Old Lady Li sat down on the ground and cried loudly. She only dared to shout "robber" and "bandit" and did not dare to curse anything else.
After getting the food, Li Mengyue placed the food and drinks in front of her parents and the twins, and said gently, "Eat something first to fill your stomach, and I'll buy you something delicious when we get to town."
The twins swallowed unconsciously when they saw what was in front of them. Ever since their father broke his leg and their mother fell ill, they hadn't had a full meal since then. They just had porridge every day, and it wouldn't be long before their stomachs would growl with hunger again.
But they knew that their parents were already very sad, and they could not continue to be ignorant and cause trouble for them, so even if they were very hungry, they would only secretly drink cold water to fill their stomachs.
In the past, Mrs. Li would have discovered that her two sons were not well fed, but she fell ill because of her daughter and her husband's affairs, and could not take care of herself. She had no extra energy to care for her two young sons.
Li Mengyue noticed that the twins wanted to eat but were afraid to, so she gave each of them a steamed bun made of half a pound of flour.
"Sister, I'm not hungry. Mom and dad are sick. Please save it for them." said the twin brother Mingyu.
"Stop talking nonsense. Just take it. I gave you a lot and your parents can't finish it." Li Mengyue fed the medicine to Mingyu without saying a word.
Mingyu and Minghao had only drunk some water since morning and hadn't eaten a single grain of rice, so they were already starving.
When his sister fed the steamed bread into his mouth, he started eating it unconsciously.
Minghao watched his brother eat, then saw that his sister had taken a lot of food, and began to eat with big mouthfuls as well.
When Li An saw his daughter come back, he felt so guilty that not only could he not give her a good life, but he also had to worry about the health of her and her husband. Even though he was so hungry, he couldn't eat a single bite.
"Dad, eat. Eat well and go to the doctor. It will not be in vain for your daughter's filial piety."
Li originally felt that her life was hopeless, but now her daughter is back, and it seems that her daughter is not an ordinary girl. She cannot hold her daughter back. Besides, her two sons are still young and need to be taken care of by herself.
So after giving himself some self-suggestion, Li cheered up, picked up the food and started eating.
But she saw the guilt in her husband's eyes, understood what he was thinking, and knew what he was worried about.
No matter how much we say, if you insist on being too picky, no one can help you.
After Li came to her senses, she started eating with big mouthfuls, just like her son.
Seeing his wife and son eating with relish, Li An suddenly felt hungry and subconsciously put the food in his hand into his mouth.
Li Mengyue watched her parents struggle for a while, then started to eat, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.
To be honest, she was really afraid that her parents would be hit too hard, unable to accept it for a while, and lose the will to live.
Now that you are willing to eat and drink, it means you still want to continue living and want to work hard to live a better life.
No longer worried about her parents, Li Mengyue picked up her portion of food and started eating.
However, while eating, he did not forget to hand two steamed buns to Li Laogen who was driving.
"Grandpa Lao Gen, these two steamed buns are yours."
When Li Mengyue took the food, in addition to taking enough for her family, she also took two more steamed buns to give to Li Laogen.
After all, cows are very scarce nowadays, and for farmers, cows are the family’s biggest asset. People can eat less, but there will definitely be no shortage of fodder for the cows.
You should know that the cows in Li Laogen’s family are the only two yellow cows in Xinghua Village, and the other one is at the village chief’s house.
The reason why Li An asked his son to borrow an ox cart from Li Laogen's house was not only because the village chief's house was far away from Li's house, but also because Li Laogen would drive an ox cart to transport people from the village to the town and back during the slack season, and only two cents was required to go there and back.
Now Li Laogen could lend them the ox cart without hesitation, and worried that no one at home could drive the cart, he drove the cart specially to take them to the town. Even if he had to pay, Li Mengyue would not forget this kindness.
Li Laogen was driving the cart when he suddenly saw two steamed buns in front of him, which scared him.
Seeing clearly that it was handed over by Li An's daughter, he did not take it. Instead, he said disapprovingly: "Girl, Grandpa Lao Gen is not hungry, so I'll keep it for you to eat."
Li Mengyue had no experience dealing with an honest farm man like Li Laogen. She stretched out her hand with two steamed buns in it, wanting to stuff them directly into the man's arms. However, she did not want to affect her image in her parents' hearts, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Li An couldn't bear to see this and spoke up to help: "Uncle Lao Gen, just take the child. There is still a lot left."
Seeing that Li An had spoken, Li Laogen carefully took the steamed bread and ate it in small bites.
However, Li Mengyue noticed that Li Laogen ate half of it and then didn't want to eat it anymore, but put it away quietly.
