Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Xu Lan patted Old Man Xu's back, wiped her tears, stood up and went to the kitchen.

"I... ahem, can I still drink the porridge now?"

The villagers who were looking out the door gradually split into two groups. One group began to run around the village nimbly looking for Xu En, while the other group blocked the door of Old Man Xu's house, chattering.

Several older and more trustworthy people in the village have already entered Old Man Xu's house.

Su Wanwan was looking inside from the door, holding a small cloth bag in one hand, and a thin layer of sweat was faintly seeping out from the palm of her hand.

There are only a few simple paths in the village, connecting almost all the facilities in the village. However, many people have searched back and forth in the village several times but could not find any trace of Xu En.

"what happened?"

People had been bustling around at the door for a long time. Su Wanwan was just about to squeeze forward when she heard her father Su Yang's voice suddenly from behind her.

The village chief Su Yang pushed everyone away, lowered his head, walked a few quick steps, and went straight to Old Man Xu's house.

"Village head, where is our village party secretary? Old man Xu may be dying!"

The villagers nearby swarmed into the Xu family's gate, and the not-so-small yard was instantly filled with people. Su Wanwan wanted to follow her father forward a few steps in the crowd to see what was going on, but she was pushed back by a few more curious villagers in front of her and could only look forward through the gaps in the crowd.

Eldest sister Xu Lan went to the kitchen to light the stove. As soon as a handful of rice was put into the pot, the whole house was crowded with villagers.

"Old Xu, how are you?"

Village chief Su Yang sat down on the edge of the kang in Old Man Xu's house and held Old Man Xu's hand with bulging veins.

Seeing the village chief coming, Old Man Xu wanted to look out through the crowd with his bloodshot eyes, but was heavily blocked.

Everyone knew who he was waiting for, but that kid Xu En seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. So many people looked for him several times but couldn't find him.

Everyone sighed, thinking that he would probably not be able to see Old Man Xu for the last time.

"Ahem... I, I will be pissed off to death by that beast at home sooner or later!"

When the village chief asked, Old Man Xu's already red face turned even redder. When he spoke, blood faintly spurted out from the corners of his mouth. The villagers were so scared that they took a few steps back. Only the village chief Su Yang was still holding his hand tightly.

"Alas, the case of Xu Yan has not been concluded yet. Secretary Wang is still handling it in the county. You should calm down and drink some water."

Village chief Su Yang poured a teacup of boiled water from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Old Man Xu.

But due to long-term and severe coughing, Old Man Xu's hands were shaking like a sieve, and he couldn't hold the teacup in his hands for a long time.

The village chief Su Yang had no choice but to hold his head and gently feed him some water. He then raised his head and instructed the young man outside -

"Go to the health center and get a doctor to come over and take a look! If that doesn't work, quickly harness a bullock cart and take us to the county hospital!"

Everyone immediately ran out in a panic, some looking for a doctor, some looking for a ox cart.

However, Old Man Xu's whole body was like a kite with a broken string, and it seemed that as long as the village chief Su Yang let go of his hand, he would fall to the ground.

"No, I don't have much time left to live. I don't want to use that kind of mycin. It will cost the country a lot of money!"

Old Man Xu was originally a tractor driver of the village production team. When he fell ill this time, almost all of his medical expenses were borne by the production team.

He checked the bills privately and found that one bottle of medicine he used was equivalent to nearly half a month's salary!

"Don't say that! You have to rest and recuperate, and you have to work hard for our production team in the future!" Although the village chief said this, everyone knew that in Mr. Xu's condition, it was time to prepare his funeral clothes.

"What worries me most right now is one thing, cough cough..." Old Man Xu knew his physical condition and wiped the blood from his mouth with trembling hands.

"My ignorant son, you... ahem... don't cause trouble for the organization..."

The villagers who had gathered there to watch the fun immediately stopped talking when they heard this.

Although everyone discussed Xu Yan's matter heatedly in private, no one dared to mention it in front of Old Man Xu.

"Dad! Why are you saying this? The third child has been obedient since he was young and has never made any mistakes since he grew up. Why do you have to be so hard on him?"

As soon as the eldest sister Xu Lan took off her apron, she fell directly in front of Old Man Xu's kang, and tears flowed down her face like crazy.

"Rebellious son! How many things has he done behind the backs of this family that we don't know about? Who knows... cough cough!"

Su Wanwan suddenly grabbed the canvas bag on her body and rushed to the crowd, "Uncle Xu, Xu Yan doesn't hate you at all."

She also saw everything that happened in Xu Yan's family these days. Although the discord between Old Man Xu and Xu Yan was known to the whole village, she always felt that there was something else hidden in it.

It was not until just now that she suddenly realized that although Old Man Xu had always hated his son, the son he loved and feared the most was precisely Xu Yan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so full of promises at this moment.

[What is the heroine thinking here? The person is dead... and she still thinks that Old Man Xu is kind.]

Although Xu Yan seemed to extremely hate his father, he drove the car out of the mountain after all, making himself a prominent figure in the village, and now he might even lose his life because of it.

She didn't believe that Xu Yan hadn't thought about this before driving the car out, but Xu Yan did it anyway.

She couldn't do anything for Xu Yan now. She couldn't let old man Xu die without knowing what Xu Yan was thinking.

After Su Wanwan finished speaking, Old Man Xu, who had a red face and was trying to say something, was suddenly speechless.

"That's right, Dad. Let's go back to the clinic and get the injection. Don't torture yourself anymore. Take good care of yourself and don't get angry. You will be well in two days!"

Xu Mei, who had just run back from outside, also knelt down in front of Old Man Xu's kang.

Although the entire Xu family is filled with subtle struggles and calculations, at this moment, no one believes that all this is acted out.

"The doctor from the clinic is here, please make way!"

Doctor Zhang put on his reading glasses as he walked, and was surrounded by people as he entered the house carrying a simple medical bag.

Because of a sprained foot, Zhong Qingqing could only recuperate in the clinic and dormitory for the time being. Originally, giving injections was her job, but the distance from the clinic to Old Man Xu's house was not short, and Old Man Xu's condition was urgent. It would take an unknown amount of time for Zhong Qingqing to get there on crutches, so Dr. Zhang had to come in person.

"What's the condition of Lao Xu?" Village chief Su Yang was also anxious.

"We can only give you an anti-inflammatory injection first and see." Doctor Zhang quickly opened the medical bag, which contained a set of simple intravenous injection tools.

After an IV drip was given to Old Man Xu and some painkillers, he half-fainted on the kang.

All they could see was the medicine dripping from the infusion bottle, but Old Man Xu on the kang didn't make any sound.
