Chapter 262 Marrying a Daughter (6)
Chapter 262 Marrying a Daughter (6)
It's not ignorance or arrogance, but being conservative is more beneficial to them, so the men in the village will never allow anyone to break their customs and rules.
As for the oppressed women, even if Heshan is kind-hearted and says a few words, someone has to listen. But no one thinks that she, a young wife who herself is photographed being laughed at, can say anything meaningful.
Thinking back to the past, after Li Juan said that, the women became even more dissatisfied with the Zhou family. If their family wasn't living a good life, why would they hold a wedding? Their family wouldn't have come to the banquet, which resulted in the men in the family lying in the hospital now, and they didn't know what the outcome would be.
Zhou Wang glared at Li Juan and cursed her in a low voice for being too talkative. She didn't dare to say anything more. She also knew that their actions were harmful to others and of course she couldn't tell the outside world about it.
Seeing her so quiet, Heshan coughed twice and continued, "Juanmei is right. Killing someone means paying with one's life."
After saying this, she glanced at the conscienceless Zhou Wangshi, and continued to say to everyone with a guilty look on her face: "Aunts, this matter is completely our Zhou family's fault. Don't worry, the Zhou family will compensate for it!"
Zhou Wang was shocked, and then became angry: "Shut up! You have no right to talk!"
"Why do I have no right to speak? I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and my words are final. I will definitely pay the money!"
"Bullshit! How can you be the boss when you are a woman?"
Heshan didn't like what he heard. He stared at her dangerously, feeling like beating her up.
Just when he was about to make a fist and ask her to test whether it was hard or not, a dissatisfied voice suddenly came from the side: "What's wrong with women? Why can't women be the masters of the family? It's feudal and pedantic!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an old lady frowning at Zhou Wangshi. A young woman was supporting her. She smiled at them, pulled the old lady's sleeve, and whispered, "Let's go."
The eldest sister clapped her hands and didn't listen. She continued to say to Zhou Wang: "Sister, now is not the past. Women are capable and are part of the family. Of course, they can be the masters of the family. Your thinking is outdated!"
Zhou Wangshi was not one to listen to criticism. She curled her lips and wanted to retort, but her eyes fell on the way the two were dressed. They were well-dressed, their hair was neatly combed, and the young woman even had her hair done in strange curls.
They look like a respectable family.
She suddenly lost confidence and muttered in dissatisfaction, "That's how it is." Then she turned her head away, not wanting to conflict with them.
The older sister wanted to give her some more advice, but the woman next to her quickly pulled her out, saying, "Mom, Dad is still waiting for us in the ward."
Thinking of her husband, she finally stopped. She knew that her daughter-in-law was dissatisfied with her interrupting, so she had to look at the people from Heshan and left unhappily, feeling that she, as the street women's director, had not exerted her power.
Everyone quieted down again. Heshan rolled his eyes and turned to go to the nurses' station. On the way, he 'accidentally' bumped into Zhou Wangshi. She was in so much pain that she wanted to throw a tantrum on the spot. But Heshan ignored her, borrowed a pen and paper from someone with a sweet voice, and wrote dozens of responsible letters with a wave of his hand.
The Zhou family will definitely take responsibility for this matter!
A few hours later, the men who were pulled into the testing room were no longer in danger. The doctors came out with puzzled looks on their faces. Their test results showed that the toxins were spread throughout the human body and there was no way to determine the source of the poisoning. Therefore, they could only urgently inject immune serum (BUG!).
However, this immune serum can only temporarily slow the spread of the toxin but cannot kill it, so the doctors were extremely worried. However, they did not expect that not long after the injection of the immune serum, the patients' conditions actually gradually improved, their bodies returned to normal, and their complexions were no longer dark blue.
The doctors drew blood again in confusion, only to find that the toxin level was decreasing, until it completely disappeared.
Is this a medical miracle? !
But this is the fact. After several discussions, the doctors decided to take it slow and wait for the patients' follow-up conditions before opening the door of the testing room.
When the women saw the door open, they rushed forward nervously. Then, they saw the man and son being pushed out from behind and were delighted to learn that their lives were not in danger.
"Don't worry, everyone. Your family members still need to be pushed into the ward for observation for a while."
Now that everyone was safe, they breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts sank when they thought of the hospital bills.
Heshan followed him into the ward. The doctors gave him a few instructions, arranged for the nurses to keep an eye on the situation, and then left.
However, after a few minutes, a nurse reminded them that they had to pay part of the treatment fee first. The money was not much, after all, the men's toxins did not require the hospital's medicines. But even if it was not much, the women were not willing to pay, and they all looked at Zhou Wangshi.
"Sister Wang, you have to pay for this."
Aunt Seven looked at Zhou Wang with a cold face. This was like a fuse. The other women looked at each other and agreed, "That's right, your family is responsible!"
Zhou Wang's eyes widened: "Impossible, I have no money!"
"My man got into trouble in your Zhou family. You must be responsible for this!"
"Yes, Aunt Wang, we don't want to embarrass you, but we can't suffer this in vain."
The others were talking one after another, their eyes burning, and it was obvious that they had made up their minds.
"Or..." Aunt Qi gave her a threatening look, "You don't want us to report to the police, so why do you want to leave?"
"..." Zhou Wang's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the old lady Chang Zai Shan, and then looked at Aunt Qi unwillingly. It was really like a barking dog that bites. She had thought that Aunt Qi was kind-hearted before, but now she was being cruel to her?
She was also afraid of meeting government officials. Li Juan had just said that murder was against the law. Although they used customs as an excuse, there was no guarantee that the police would use it to prosecute them. They were not in the village now, and if they were caught now, they would have nowhere to complain.
But... she snorted coldly: "Then you are also accomplices" No one can escape!
Aunt Qi and the others kept their expressions unchanged, still staring at her. Mrs. Zhou Wang had no choice but to soften her stance: "Let's wait until my man wakes up, okay?!"
The women withdrew their gazes with satisfaction and looked at the men on the hospital beds.
Heshan did not interfere with how they discussed it. When it came to money, after weighing the pros and cons, humans would always make the choice that was best for themselves.
And she was going to make it all worse.
While no one was paying attention, she cut the fingers of Zhou's father and son. Blood flowed out and smeared their fingertips. She pressed the responsibility sheets one by one. Zhou Wangshi, who had her back to them, thought that she was worried about Zhou's father and son. If her aunt and daughter-in-law saw it without blocking her view, their eyes would flash and they would turn their heads away, pretending not to know.
Then, Heshan distributed the responsibility letters one by one with a smile and explained a few words, which made the aunts' eyes light up. They accepted the letters with smiles in their eyes. With this, they no longer had to worry about the Zhou family refusing to pay their debts.
When Zhou Wang came back from the toilet, she saw the expressions of the crowd, frowned, sat down next to He Shan and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
Heshan smiled kindly: "The uncles are about to wake up, and the aunts are happy."
"Really?" Zhou Wang was also happy. She stood up and walked quickly to Zhou's father with anticipation in her eyes. However, she waited for a long time, and just when she was getting impatient, she saw the person on the bed slowly open his eyes.
"Old Zhou!"
Following this voice, the other men woke up one by one.
The doctors received the notification and rushed over to ask them how they felt. The men were dizzy and opened their mouths to speak when they heard the questions, but the doctors who were close to them froze and stepped back a little without leaving a trace.
This taste... becomes stronger after fermentation in the mouth.
