Chapter 169: Brother-in-law’s legs, are they okay?
"Interrupted?"
Li Xiaoyu was suddenly startled. She lifted up the big kid standing on the palm of her hand, and the little guy flapped its wings and flew away.
"Well, Xiaoyu, is Doctor Feng here with you? If he is, ask him to go and take a look. We can talk about other things while we walk."
Li Xiaoyu blinked and quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go call him."
She turned and ran towards the room.
Feng Wudu looked at his senior brother's cold face, he held back his laughter and stood up. Before Li Xiaoyu entered the room and spoke, he was the first to speak.
"Sister-in-law, I heard it. I'll go back and get the medicine box."
"Junior brother, wait for me, I will go with you."
At that time, she saw that He Yihai could make money by escorting escorts, and she also wanted to earn this money with her own skills.
Now He Yihai's leg has been broken by the bandits.
She would have to go and see if it was serious. If it was, she would give up this way of making money.
Hearing that she was going too, Gu Fei's eyes suddenly darkened.
He reached forward with his left hand, grabbed the woman's sleeve, and said in a low voice with a hint of pity: "Xiao Yu, I'm hungry. Let's cook at home."
Feng Wudu just walked to the door.
Hearing his brother's words, the smile on his face widened.
Afraid that his senior brother would hear him laughing, he covered his mouth with his sleeve to hold back his laughter.
Li Xiaoyu had no interest in He Yihai, so naturally he would not try to guess the meaning of Gu Fei's words. He took out a large bag of pastries from the cupboard and put them in his hand, and prepared a kettle for him.
"The cakes and water are all here. Eat something first. I'll be back soon."
These pastries were bought by her last time she went into town.
She had some money now, so she bought some different kinds of cakes.
Seeing her in a hurry, putting down the water without even looking at him, and turning away, Gu Fei's eyes instantly became as dark as ink.
A sense of anger appeared between his brows.
He looked down at the wooden box in his hand, without any appetite at all.
On the other side, Feng Wudu and Li Xiaoyu went to Li Huahua's house. A circle of villagers gathered outside the yard to watch the fun.
The village chief thought they were just watching the show and making trouble.
Drive them all away.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Li Huahua slumped on a stool, with Wang Guihua and Li Mei comforting her.
He Yihai was lying on the bed. His usually cold and hard face was now bloodless, and his exposed calves were covered with blood and flesh.
Li Xiaoyu just took a look and immediately turned around and left.
Feng Wudu is treating inside.
Li Wu was standing on the embankment smoking a pipe. When he saw his little daughter coming out, he put one hand on his waist, exhaled the smoke, and sighed heavily: "He was also unlucky. He didn't make much money and lost a leg."
Sun Cuicui was sitting on a bench, also looking quite regretful.
"I heard from the person who sent him back that the others were fleeing to save their lives, but he was the only one fighting the bandits to protect the goods."
Hearing this, Li Wu took over the conversation and angrily scolded: "I said this kid is old-fashioned. If others are running for their lives, he should also run for his life. If the goods are lost, they can be found again, but if the life is lost, it is really gone."
Seeing her father-in-law's angry look, Sun Cuicui timidly replied: "Father-in-law, if you don't keep the goods, you have to pay compensation. Given Second Sister-in-law's situation, they can't afford it."
When the tobacco was almost gone, Li Wu pulled it out and threw it on the ground, stomping on it again and again.
He cursed, "It's not just him who has to pay. It's not that difficult for each family to pay a little."
They will sign a contract with their employer when escorting goods, and the employer also understands this principle. Unless the goods are particularly important, they will be compensated 100%.
Otherwise the escort agency will not compensate in full.
Hearing his angry tone, Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips.
Only if he has some money now can he say that he doesn't care about the compensation. In the past, he probably wished that He Yihai would die outside rather than come back to implicate them.
Feng Wudu treated him and Li Guangchang helped to bring water and pour it.
An hour later, Feng Wudu came out with blood on his hands. He knew that Li Xiaoyu was afraid of blood, so he put his hands behind his back.
When he was washing his hands, the Li family and the village chief surrounded him.
"Doctor Feng, how is Hunter He doing?"
"Doctor Feng, can my second son-in-law's leg be healed? Will he be like mine and become disabled in the future?"
The hot water in the basin was steaming, and Feng Wudu answered their questions while washing his hands.
He said in a gentle voice: "The injury has stabilized, the tendons and bones are not broken, and the leg injury will heal after resting for half a year. Don't let him do heavy work."
When they heard it had been more than half a year, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and gave up the idea of escorting.
I didn’t make any money and I have to rest for half a year.
This livelihood cannot be done.
While they were all there, Wang Guihua could help Li Huahua take care of He Yihai, so she hurried home and brought back some supplements that Li Wu had bought earlier.
Li Xiaoyu looked back and saw that Li Huahua didn't come out.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then walked to the door.
Seeing that He Yihai's legs were wrapped in cloth and no blood was flowing, she walked in.
Li Huahua sat on the bench, her face, which usually had no expression, staring at the man on the bed.
He took a deep breath and told her what Feng Wudu had said.
Then he whispered to comfort her: "Second sister, he will be fine."
Li Huahua wiped away her tears with her sleeve. She didn't have the mind to indulge in sadness. What she was thinking about was how to make money to support her family.
She looked at Li Xiaoyu and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, but my family has lost its source of income now. I am wondering how to make money to make life better for my family."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the latter's eyes.
She found that Li Huahua's personality was really down-to-earth. Most people would be sad for two days if they met such a person.
She was sad but still thinking about her livelihood.
Li Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said to her, "You have good embroidery skills. You can do some embroidery work with mother and elder sister, and slowly save some money to open a shop together."
Wang Guihua came in with some supplements and just heard what her youngest daughter said.
Put the supplements aside and listen to her attentively.
Li Xiaoyu then turned his gaze towards the man on the bed and said calmly, "Things that we can't sell here will be good goods in Central China. When his leg is healed, let him take the handkerchief out to sell."
"That thing is soft and doesn't take up much space, so it won't attract much attention. You can discuss how to divide the money you make, and your life will get better slowly."
People always have to have some dreams, so that life will have a purpose.
After listening to her, Wang Guihua and Li Huahua looked at each other, as if they had suddenly been enlightened.
Feng Wudu came in again and checked He Yihai's injuries. After giving them some instructions, he left with Li Xiaoyu.
The two of them came to a fork in the road and went back to their respective homes.
As soon as she walked to the door of her house, she smelled the fragrance of rice. She walked into the main room and saw two bowls of rice and two plates of fried vegetables on the table. Her stomach instantly rumbled.
I hurried to the kitchen to wash my hands and prepare for dinner.
Gu Fei was frying the last vegetarian dish. When he saw her come in, he asked in a flat voice:
"Is my brother-in-law's leg okay?"
