Chapter 42 This is the first time someone stands up for me
Doctor Niu examined Xu Xiaohua's wound, but Xu Xiaohua covered her ears and refused.
Doctor Niu patiently said to her, "It's so hot. If you don't take medicine, your ear will fester and become damaged."
She then removed her hand.
Jiang Xiaohe also calmed down.
He threw away the sickle in his hand and stared at Zhang Xiu'e coldly.
Zhang Xiu'e wanted to sneak away, but was caught by Jiang Xiaohe: "What? You want to run away before you apologize or pay for the medical treatment?"
Everyone also stopped Zhang Xiu'e, waiting for her to apologize to Xu Xiaohua.
After Dr. Niu gave Xu Xiaohua a simple bandage, he took out a bottle of ointment from the medicine box and told Xu Xiaohua to remember to apply it on the wound on time.
Then he said to the village chief: "The total cost of the medical treatment and medicine is thirty-five coins!"
"Bah! Why don't you go and rob!" Thirty-five cents can buy more than two kilograms of meat!
Zhang Shunchang stared at her: "Give me money!"
"No money!" Zhang Xiu'e said dishonestly.
"Okay! If you don't have money, then just give this piece of land in front of the door to Xu Xiaohua!"
Zhang Xiu'e was very angry, so she took out the money from her pocket.
"Is this okay now?" She felt pain in her heart.
Doctor Niu put the copper coins into the medicine box and left without stopping.
"Now you can apologize to Xu Xiaohua. Remember, kneel down! If you shout again that you wronged her and tried to embezzle her money!" Jiang Xiaohe stared at her and said.
Let her kneel down to that little bitch Xu Xiaohua! Absolutely impossible!
"You don't have to apologize!" Zhang Shunchang said, and Zhang Xiu'e immediately turned around and was about to leave.
"Then give the land at the door to Xu Xiaohua!"
Zhang Xiu'e was so angry that she stood still. Finally, she gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of Xu Xiaohua. Xu Xiaohua didn't dare to let her kneel down for her and wanted to move away, but was held down by Jiang Xiaohe: "She should apologize to you!"
"I, Zhang Xiu'e, wronged Xu Xiaohua! I was the one who wanted to embezzle Xu Xiaohua's money!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up, her face red and blue: "Is this okay?"
After saying that, she pushed away the people blocking the gate and ran towards her home.
Zhang Shunchang returned the purse to Xu Xiaohua: "Keep it safe."
"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."
Seeing her like this, Zhang Shunchang didn't say anything else. He just sighed and went back with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Xiaohe warned Xu Xiaohua: "Next time you encounter something like this, just run away instead of standing here waiting to be beaten, do you understand?"
Xu Xiaohua didn't say anything, tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Why are you crying again?"
Xu Xiaohua shook her head and finally said with a sob: "Aunt, this is the first time someone has stood up for me. Xiaohua is happy."
Jiang Xiaohe's heart melted into a puddle of water.
"Next time you are bullied, come to me and I will protect you."
Xu Xiaohua looked up at Jiang Xiaohe in disbelief, and only nodded after making sure that she was not lying.
Jiang Xiaohe heard the sound of coughing in the room and frowned slightly, but she didn't say much. She was ready to go back and touched Xu Xiaohua's head: "Remember to apply the medicine."
Xu Xiaohua nodded.
Zhang Daniu was with her.
After everyone left, Xu Xiaohua closed the gate and ran back into the house, only to see her grandmother lying on the bed with her eyes open, looking at her with her hand stretched out.
Xu Xiaohua quickly ran up to her and held her hand: "Grandma, I'll go make some medicine for you."
Her grandmother held her back, her eyes moistened: "Xiaohua, will you blame your grandmother for not standing up for you?"
Xu Xiaohua had a look of disappointment in her eyes, but she shook her head slightly: "Grandma is sick and can't get up. Xiaohua doesn't blame her."
As soon as she said this, tears immediately flowed from Old Lady Xu's eyes: "Grandma can't live anymore. If grandma passes away, the only ones who can take care of you are your uncle and aunt. Grandma can't offend them! I'm sorry for making you suffer."
When Xu Xiaohua heard her say that she would not survive, she burst into tears.
"No grandma, you are all I have, you can't leave me!"
As she spoke, she wiped her tears: "Xiaohua, Xiaohua is not wronged."
Old Mrs. Xu held her hand tightly and said, "Just wait a few more years. When you grow up and get married, you will have someone to rely on."
As Old Mrs. Xu spoke, she sighed and fell asleep again without realizing it.
Xu Xiaohua turned around and walked out of the room, going to the kitchen to boil medicine.
On the way back, Jiang Xiaohe said to Zhang Daniu, "It was all thanks to you just now. Otherwise, I don't know if I could have withstood that blow."
Zhang Daniu touched the back of his head, and a simple smile appeared on his dark face: "We are all family, so we should not have different opinions."
After that, they walked in silence all the way, and they kept a proper distance from each other to avoid being seen and gossiped by villagers.
Jiang Xiaohe went back to the house first, said hello to Zhang Daniu, and then went back to the yard.
Wang Qiuxia came up to him immediately: "Why did you take so long? Are you okay?"
When Jiang Xiaohe told her the whole story, Wang Qiuxia first checked to see if she was injured, then said, "Don't be so impulsive next time. I thought you were just going to watch the fun!" Then she sighed, "What Zhang Xiu'e did was so wrong! Xu Xiaohua is so pitiful. Every family has its own problems."
"It's so early in the morning, and you must be hungry. I'll go get you some food."
"Thank you, mother."
"What did you say!"
When Zhang Daniu returned home, Zhang Daniu saw his smiling face and immediately asked, "Brother, didn't you go to watch the fun? Did something good happen to you that makes you so happy?"
Zhang Daniu did not answer. He had just gotten up in the morning and opened the gate to move around when he saw Jiang Xiaohe running out of her house. He saw her heading towards the direction where the quarrel in the village took place, and he followed her.
"What are you asking about, kid?" He said, then turned around and went to the backyard to fetch water with a bucket.
Zhang Danniu sighed and turned to go to the kitchen.
On the other hand, Wu Youhua returned home and complained to the man at home: "I told you they have a way to make money, but they just don't want me to know!"
Her husband was a little impatient: "It's rare that I can sleep in today, but I still have to listen to your nagging. It's really annoying."
After saying that, he stood up and picked up his clothes.
Wu Youhua even pulled him aside and said, "You don't know, today Zhang Xiu'e beat her niece again, saying that Xu Xiaohua stole her money. But she never thought that the money Xu Xiaohua got was given by Jiang Xiaohe."
Her husband was a little surprised, but he didn't believe it: "Her family is so poor, and she's still giving money to others?"
Then she told the story of their business together.
"In front of?"
Wu Youhua nodded, then snorted, "Last time, the two of them must have known my intention, so they did it on purpose on the mountain. Humph, I actually got tricked by them!"
Her husband stroked his chin and said, "Well, next time if they go up the mountain again, we'll follow them and see what tricks they play."
Wu Youhua smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
