Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 19 Kneeling down to beg
"Yueyue..." Su Qiuyi stepped forward and called her sister, "Don't cry yet. Tell me what happened?"
As she asked, she walked towards her father who was unconscious on the kang. Looking at the bed beneath Su Laosan that was stained with blood, she couldn't tell where exactly he was injured.
Su Laosan seemed to have fainted from the pain, and was trembling from time to time. His lips were purple and his face was pale. Su Qiuyi couldn't guess what kind of hatred or grudge he had that could make him beat someone like this.
Su Mingyue was at a loss and could only cry. When she heard her elder sister's voice, she quickly crawled towards her elder sister like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood, and choked with sobs as she told her everything that happened in the afternoon.
"Big sister... mother... mother took my younger sister away with a few uncles, saying... that they were sending her to some wealthy family... I couldn't stop them, so I went to find daddy, but the uncles beat him up like this... wuwuwu, what should I do? What should I do? My younger sister..."
Su Mingyue's explanation was unclear, and Su Qiuyi heard some more from the women outside, and only then was he able to barely understand the whole thing.
Originally, Xu Hui went to her mother's house, but not long after she left, she came with several brothers from her mother's family and took Su Wenxing away.
Su Mingyue couldn't stop him, so she had to go up the mountain to find Su Laosan. The two of them went to Xujiagou to ask for him, but Xu Hui's brothers beat him out.
After being beaten like this, they carried the man back to the Su family and left.
If Su Li was the biological mother, she would be able to do something about it, but she is not.
He just watched Su Mingyue helpless and watched as people were not allowed to go to the mountain to bring Old Man Su back.
"This is all caused by that bitch. Don't you know what time it is now? We are about to flee the famine, and the men in the family are busy looking for a living. This matter can't delay the old man! Let the third brother lie down for a while, he will be fine!"
Who in the surrounding villages didn't know that Su Li was unreasonable, cunning and mean? After she said this, no one dared to make a decision on their own.
Amidst the chatter of the crowd, Su Qiuyi finally understood the whole story. With a gloomy face, she glanced at the old woman, two aunts, several cousins, and the flat-nosed aunt who were present. She comforted her sister, asked her to stay with her father, and then she pushed the crowd away and ran out.
Now she has to rely on herself. Her aunt is not at home. Who else can help her?
She was anxious about her younger sister being taken away, but seeing her father's appearance, she had no choice but to call a doctor.
She knew that only the headman's family in the village had an ox cart. Although an ox cart was not much faster than walking, she could not ask the doctor to walk over when she asked him to come.
She didn't have time to think about many things, and she didn't even think about going to the mountain to call back her grandfather and uncles, because she knew it would be useless.
But when she arrived at the village head's house panting, the village head's wife refused to lend her the ox cart no matter what.
"Aunt, I beg you, my father is dying, please lend me the ox cart so I can go find a doctor! I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Su Qiuyi didn't care about anything else and begged humbly. She failed to inherit the original owner's memory, didn't understand many people and things, and didn't know what kind of personality this wife of the village headman had.
She still remembered that she had not offended this man when she collected chickens, but this man's face was full of malice towards her.
"Su girl, it's not that I'm stingy and don't want to lend it to you. It's just that the old cow has already been promised to someone else, and the boss will come to pick it up soon, so I can't give it to you! Look at the current situation. If we don't sell this old cow, our whole family will not be able to survive... You, listen to me, you should hurry to the town to find a doctor. It's uncertain whether you can find one, so don't worry about the ox cart!"
The wife of the village head also had the surname Su, and her name was Su Dajuan, and people called her Aunt Juanzi.
After saying this, Aunt Juanzi turned around and went into the house with her little grandson in her arms, no longer paying attention to Su Qiuyi.
Su Qiuyi knew that it was useless to dwell on it, so he hammered his head, turned around and ran out.
She knew that although it was hateful that Aunt Juanzi didn't lend her the ox cart, what she said was not without reason. Instead of wasting time trying to borrow the ox cart, it would be better to go to the town and find a doctor.
Her legs had been strengthened by running to the town repeatedly these days, but even so, she almost foamed at the mouth when she ran to the town.
The pain in her chest made it hard for her to breathe.
Fortunately, after Dr. Liang learned that it was Su Laosan who was injured, he put down his work and followed her.
Su Qiuyi only had thirty cents in her hand for her to get through the city, and she used it all to hire a carriage in the town to take Doctor Liang back home.
When he got home, it was completely dark. There was no one else in the yard. The Su family had all returned to their own rooms. Only Su Xiaofang's family, Old Su, and someone Su Qiuyi had not expected were left in the third-bedroom wing.
Su Yunsheng, the eldest son of the Su family's eldest branch and the eldest grandson of the Su family's eldest branch, is now a student.
Su Qiuyi came in with Doctor Lao Liang. Uncle Yang Dachun was helping his father sit down, and his aunt was feeding him porridge mouthful by mouthful while crying.
"Dad, are you awake? I've called Doctor Liang, let him check you out right away..."
Su Qiuyi didn't care about anything else. Seeing Su Laosan woke up, he felt relieved and hurried forward to ask the doctor to check his injuries.
Su Lao San heard the noise and looked up, "Yi Yi..."
After saying just two words, Su Qiuyi could tell from his eyes what he wanted to say, so she quickly stepped forward and said soothingly, "Dad, don't worry, you heal your wounds first, I will find my little sister back!"
She knew that her little sister had been sold, which was a source of worry for her father, but no matter how anxious he was, he had to heal her wounds first.
The shocking wound made Doctor Liang stroke his beard and say with admiration, "You can still eat porridge. The thigh bone is broken. Normal people would be in excruciating pain. The hideous wound at the broken bone could leave you disabled..."
Upon hearing this, Miss Su Er, who had stopped crying, couldn't help but burst into tears again, and Su Xiaofang also covered her mouth and cried.
Su Qiuyi's heart was in a knot, and he felt uncomfortable as if there was something stuck in his throat.
Old Man Su's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but clench his sleeves. He gritted his teeth to hold back the discomfort, and stepped forward and bowed, "Doctor, our third child's leg cannot be disabled. I beg you, old man, you have to treat it..."
As he said this, he was about to kneel down, but was held up by Doctor Liang.
"Old man, I'm a doctor. I'm here to treat Carpenter Su's injuries. Please don't bother me!" He looked into the room and said, "Men stay here, and everyone else go out. Old man, you should go out and wait too. Too many people in the room will affect the bone setting!"
It took the Yang family father and son, plus Su Yunsheng, an hour to finally connect the bones and tie wood to the leg to fix it.
During this time, Su Qiuyi took advantage of his second sister's crying to fetch a basin of water from the space, boiled it, and brought it in.
Old Man Su, Su Xiaofang and her daughter, and Su Qiuyi and her sister did not dare to go far. They just stood at the door and listened to Su Lao San's heart-wrenching moans. They clenched their teeth and hated Xu Hui, who had taken advantage of her mother's family.
