Three Women in the Cage

The next day, when Zhang Erfa was still sleeping soundly, Yang Yu got up early, carried Huanhuan on his back and ran to the village clinic.

At this time, the door of the clinic was open, and an old man was sitting at the front desk, writing or drawing something with a pen in his hand.

"Doctor Li, could you please take a look at my daughter? Her eye was injured by a slingshot. The doctor in town said she needs IV fluids for several days. Could you please take another look at her?"

As soon as Yang Yu entered the room, he shouted anxiously to the old doctor.

The old doctor quickly asked her to put the child on the bed, then removed the gauze, looked left and right at the injured eye, shook his head, and put the gauze back on.

He sat back in his seat, thought for a moment and then said, "She has an eye injury. I can only change the gauze for the external injury and give her an IV. I think the doctor in town should have told you that for internal injuries, you can only go to the county hospital."

"Think it over carefully. It's just changing the gauze and giving the fluids. I have no problem with that, but whether you can see after the gauze is removed is another matter!"

The old doctor told the truth about the situation, fearing that he would be held responsible.

Of course Yang Yu knew all this, but she didn't have enough money to go to the county hospital, so she could only pray that the gauze would be removed and her eyes would be able to see as before.

She wanted to take a gamble. Maybe it was just an external injury? Maybe there was no damage inside?

She had no choice but to numb and comfort herself in this way.

"Just give him intravenous drip for a few days!" Yang Yu said with a sigh.

At this time, Yang Yu had no extra money on him, so he had to buy on credit and pay it back as soon as he had money.

Because everyone in the village knew the old doctor and many people often bought things on credit from him, it was nothing new. The old doctor nodded without finding it strange, and then wrote down the amount in the credit book.

Seeing such a young child suffering so much, the old doctor couldn't help but ask curiously, "How could the eye be injured?"

Yang Yu angrily told the general situation, and when he talked about the touching parts, he burst into tears. He cursed Zhang Erfa as a villain and the man with the slingshot as hateful.

The old doctor understood and asked sympathetically, "In that case, what about the person who injured the child? He must be responsible. Why don't you let him pay for the medical expenses and take him to the county hospital?"

She was furious when she thought about this. She hadn't even seen the man's shadow until now, and Zhang Erfa hadn't stayed with him at the scene. How could he recognize her if she went to look for him now?

After a moment's thought, if she could get that person to admit it, Huanhuan's medical expenses for going to the county for treatment would be solved, and her eyes' recovery would be guaranteed.

There is no need to be in fear every day, and when the day comes to remove the gauze, you will not be able to accept the worst outcome.

That's his eyes, no joke. If he had money, he wouldn't have dragged it on like this. Since there is a way to solve this problem, Yang Yu is willing to give it a try.

After getting the old doctor's advice, she hurried back, thinking of asking Zhang Erfa to go with her to that family to ask for an explanation.

When they got home, they saw that it was almost noon. Zhang Erfa was still lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out. Yaya and Xinxin had already gone to the kitchen and were burning firewood carefully and skillfully.

His second daughter, Yaya, has always been clever. She can learn anything immediately after being taught once. Seeing Yaya, who is so young but always takes good care of her younger sister and helps him with housework within her ability, Yang Yu feels relieved!

Like her sister Huanhuan, she has known how to take care of herself since she was young!

But she is still a little girl less than five years old. Yang Yu feels very distressed. Now her sister is injured and lying in bed, but she has taken over her sister's work to help herself!

Suddenly, she thought of her sister, the poor child still lying on the hospital bed, and Yang Yu couldn't help but tear up.

Staring at Zhang Erfa sleeping soundly without any psychological burden, Yang Yu, for Huanhuan's sake, suppressed his anger and took a step forward, wanting to have a good talk with him.

She thought to herself that she couldn't argue with him. Arguing would only get her beaten and wouldn't solve any problems. She needed him and herself to ask for an explanation.

So she couldn't get angry, she had to hold it in and talk to him nicely!

"Second shot? Wake up," she shook him gently.

After a while, Zhang Erfa finally opened his sleepy eyes. Seeing Yang Yu standing in front of the bed, he said impatiently, "What are you doing? You can't even sleep in peace!"

Yang Yu endured it and said, "Huanhuan's eye. The town doctor and the old doctor in the village both said that it's best to take her to the county hospital for a checkup. Otherwise, if she can't see after the gauze is removed, she'll be dead..."

She couldn't continue speaking, she was really afraid of the result, so she wiped her tears before continuing.

"She's still so young. As parents, we can't just leave her alone. If we had money, we wouldn't be dragging her along like this!"

"Didn't you say that it was that man who hurt the child? We can go to him and ask him to pay the medical expenses, then the child will be safe!" When she said this, she became excited.

Zhang Erfa finally understood what she was planning, but he had already let the man go, and he didn't want to argue.

Moreover, in his subconscious, it was Huanhuan who caused the trouble by running around, and he never thought about the man's responsibility at all. People like him are always afraid of trouble. If trouble comes to him, he will say it is his own problem at the first time.

Now, if Yang Yu is asked to find faults in others and argue with others, he will immediately become intimidated. He feels guilty and doesn't want to go. He just wants to stay out of it!

At this time, Yang Yu was staring at him, waiting for him to agree, but he was completely resisting in his heart, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Stop looking for trouble all day! What does it have to do with anyone else? It was Huanhuan who was just wandering around. Others were just shooting birds normally. If Huanhuan hadn't been following them, how could they have been accidentally injured?"

Yang Yu finally understood that this man was not willing to argue with others for Huanhuan at all.

No one can make him do this. He doesn't want to, or dares not, go outside and fight with those people for anything. Even if it is his own things and others come to snatch them or offend him, he will choose to be tolerant and keep the peace!

In the end, she was overthinking it. She thought that if she begged him so humbly, he would have the courage to ask her for an explanation for the child because of his pitiful condition.

But in the end, he didn't want to, wasn't willing to, or was afraid to retreat!

Yang Yu yelled at him in disappointment, "You deserve to be a coward for the rest of your life, looked down upon by others!"

"I'm so unlucky to marry you. If it weren't for the children, who would be willing to follow you forever?"

"Because of your cowardice, we mother and daughter have been bullied and looked down upon by others. Are you still a man?"
