After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.
Chapter 86 Injured
After all this commotion, only a day has passed. Looking back, Xu Zhuzhu always feels that time is the most incredible thing.
When fast, it's like a shuttle; when slow, it's like seconds.
However, seeing Zhang Xiaolin suffer the consequences of his actions, her mood inexplicably improved a lot. Even though it had been snowing for more than ten days, she no longer seemed as annoyed as she had been a few days ago.
The family returned to their own little home from the Li family's house, began to tidy up and organize, and started their normal life again.
The wolf pack has fallen silent. It's as if they made a cameo appearance on that day, like NPCs, appearing abruptly and then vanishing without a trace.
Xu Zhuzhu had some doubts, wondering if it was arranged by God.
Just as I was thinking this, an unbearable itch came from the tip of my nose, and I couldn't help but sneeze several times before I could stop.
No way?
Xu Zhuzhu rubbed her nose, looked at the pitch-black sky, suppressed her doubts, and dared not let her mind wander to anything else.
But when her mother heard her sneeze, her previously calmed heart was stirred again, and she insisted on brewing a bowl of medicine for the two siblings.
"Dr. Bai said that all medicines have some degree of toxicity, and you can't just drink them casually!" Xu Zhuzhu tried to stop Zhang He's idea.
But Zhang He still managed to shut her up, "It's not medicine. This is a prescription that my mother asked Doctor Bai for. It's just a tea to dispel cold."
What kind of tea can be brewed to taste like Chinese medicine?
She didn't believe it at all, and she had no recollection of her mother going to Doctor Bai to get the prescription.
Even if she didn't drink it, Zhang He would coax Xu Zhuzhu to drink it. Xu Zhuzhu was too lazy to argue with her mother, so the two siblings drank it down in silence, both finding it extremely bitter.
The main concern was Xu Zhuzhu; Xu An didn't care, as he was busy with other things.
Xu An has made a new friend, Li Xiaomo, and they even made a date to go find Deng Tuanyuan tomorrow to see who can memorize faster. They are currently engrossed in memorizing!
However, Xu Zhuzhu found it quite strange that she hadn't seen many little girls her age in the village.
Of course, it's also possible that they stayed home all winter and didn't come out.
By then, her father, carrying a basket on his back, had been taken to the garbage dump by her.
His father didn't let anyone else go with him, perhaps because he felt guilty about what happened during the day and wanted to do more to make up for it.
Her mother was counting their copper coins in the house, muttering, "Thank goodness the wolf didn't find this place, otherwise this month's work would have been for nothing."
She felt her mother's worries were unnecessary; after all, even if the wolf found the money, it wouldn't take it away.
Zhang He didn't care about any of that and asked Xu Zhuzhu if the garbage station was safe, as she wanted to hide the money there.
Xu Zhuzhu was taken aback. Whether it was safe or not was another matter, but wouldn't it be too convenient to take it?
"What if I'm not with Mother and she needs money?"
Zhang He said, "Then I'll keep some loose copper coins for future use. Our family won't be separated. I'm just worried that we might get robbed again."
Her mother's concerns were not unfounded.
Although everyone says that only Zhang Xiaolin likes to steal chickens and dogs, no one can say for sure whether the other villagers will have other ideas when they hear that his family has made money.
Xu Zhuzhu thought about it and agreed with her mother, so she didn't argue.
She was busy examining the beads around her neck.
Once she calmed down, she noticed that the bead hadn't emitted any light or heat throughout the day.
It was a bit strange, since according to previous practice, she would glow when she was in danger, right?
But when she was pushed down by Master Zhang, she didn't feel anything at all. Could it be that after healing her parents' injuries a few nights ago, the bead went into hibernation?
Xu Zhuzhu examined it carefully and saw that the faint red light that the bead used to emit had indeed dimmed considerably, which seemed to confirm her guess.
Her father took the tablet away, so she couldn't ask him anything.
Just then, her mother went to hide the money, so she said:
"Then Mother, come quickly, let's go and bring Father home."
Hide the money carefully.
Zhang He picked up the small jar, exclaimed "Hey!", and quickly took Xu Zhuzhu's hand. She then instructed Xu An, "Stay home and study. Daddy and Mommy aren't back yet, so you can't go anywhere."
Xu An nodded obediently.
The small box they used to store money in was used to store flowers, but it has now been taken to the yamen (government office), and her mother is now holding it in a small glass jar.
This glass jar was obviously taken from the garbage dump.
No matter how Xu Zhuzhu looked at it, the glass jar looked somewhat like a kimchi jar, although ordinary kimchi jars were not this big.
……
Although Xu Wenjie was alone, he had become quite skilled and his movements were naturally much faster. By the time the mother and daughter arrived, the sorting was almost complete.
"He Niang, what brings you here?"
Xu Zhuzhu said with a simple smile, "Mother wants to hide the silver here and asked me to bring her here. It's a good opportunity to pick up Father and take him home."
Zhang He explained carefully, "...I'm just afraid of being robbed again!"
"Then be careful not to bump into anything."
Zhang He made all the decisions, and Xu Wenjie never had any objections, so he continued to focus on sorting.
Zhang He was busy choosing a spot to hide the money, while Xu Zhuzhu squatted next to the basket, occasionally helping Xu Wenjie control it so that his father could have an easier time, but without being easily noticed.
One can't help but sigh that this force is quite difficult to control, much more tiring than if she controlled it herself.
Zhang He hid the jar containing the silver in the firewood pile, but no matter how she changed the hiding place, she still felt uneasy.
Xu Wenjie smiled helplessly, "He Niang, you've seen this pile of firewood here for so long, and no one has stolen it. What are you worried about? Do you expect us to hide it in the sky?"
Unexpectedly, these words awakened Zhang He. She looked up at the roof of the garbage station, where several wooden planks were placed, giving it a loft-like feel, perfect for hiding things.
Xu Zhuzhu saw her mother looking up for a long time and was wondering what was going on. Sure enough, her mother rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the wall pillar, and tried to climb up the wall of the garbage station.
Startled, she quickly said, "Mother, come down quickly, Zhuzhu will help you put it down."
Hearing the noise, Xu Wenjie quickly looked up and was also startled.
"He Niang!"
Her father rushed forward and grabbed her mother, saying, "What are you doing! You're not a child anymore. Why are you acting so impulsively? There's nowhere to step on this wall. If you fall, it'll be no laughing matter!"
In her haste, she lost control of her voice, which left her mother somewhat bewildered, muttering that it was nothing.
However, only after her father's insistence and assistance did her mother tiptoe down the wall, muttering like a child who had done something wrong, "My husband is really something, the child is still here!"
They didn't even bother to give her any face.
Xu Zhuzhu quickly turned her head away, pretending not to understand.
After that, her father didn't ask for her help. He jumped up the wall with his hands and placed the silver jar on it, but still said to her mother with a dark face, "Are you relieved now?"
Zhang He smiled slightly, "Thank you, husband."
Xu Wenjie didn't seem to mind the dark look on his face at all.
Xu Zhuzhu felt that her father should learn some kung fu. He looked very talented. She just didn't know if martial arts existed in this world. She had been here for three years and had never seen anyone with kung fu skills.
Perhaps there really were generals who went to the battlefield!
……
Two more days passed in this rambling manner, and Xu Zhuzhu's family life returned to normal.
That day, the thick snow began to melt, and the meltwater dripped from the eaves onto the ground, making the whole yard wet.
Fearing water would accumulate in the yard, Xu Wenjie was digging a small ditch along the eaves to drain the water.
No sooner had they set off than they saw Li Quanfu rushing into the yard, looking extremely flustered.
Upon seeing Xu Wenjie, he gasped for breath and shouted, "Brother Xu, something's happened!"
Xu Wenjie paused for a moment before turning around to greet Li Quanfu.
"Brother Li, has something happened at the yamen? Why are you in such a panic?"
Xu Wenjie asked calmly, but he was somewhat unsure of himself.
Zhang He frowned, but still calmed herself down and poured Li Quanfu a bowl of warm water.
When Xu Zhuzhu heard Li Quanfu's voice, her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that Zhang Xiaolin's matter would not be so easy to resolve, but this time, she was wrong.
Li Quanfu took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Two seriously injured young men were found at the entrance of town. They are two of the three from our village who went to report the case a couple of days ago. Someone recognized them and brought them back, but they are on the verge of death!"
