"Okay, wife of the Zhao family, please stop crying. Is there anything wrong with your body except for the external injuries? Is there anything particularly painful?" Old Man Hua asked, holding back his headache.
The collapse of the house is not a small matter. After holding it down for so long, Old Man Hua was worried that he might cause internal injuries.
Xu felt much better after venting for a while, and since she was facing the village chief, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhao family finally stopped crying and quickly checked herself and her child with the help of the aunt next to her.
Except for Zhao Xiaoshu, the grandson of Zhao's parents who had his arm crushed and was crying, the others only had superficial injuries, which made them look miserable. At least they didn't see any internal injuries at the moment.
Hua Sanshan also briefly checked his pulse and shook his head at Old Man Hua, indicating that there was no big problem.
"Village chief, my family is..." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family looked at Old Man Hua with tears in her eyes.
"No one has thought about the Zhao family's daughter-in-law. The old man also knows that you are anxious, but if you are not in a hurry, take care of the present first. You two sisters-in-law have to support this family. Since you feel that there is no big problem, you should hurry up. Get up and see what else can be used at home and put it away. Fortunately, only the main house collapsed, and the wing room on the side is still intact. Think about what is in the main house. Take advantage of the crowd to dig it out together. Maybe It can still be used. It’s such a cold day for your children, so how can you stay outside all the time? Take them into the private room to warm up for a while. There are people in the village who won’t watch you and ignore you.”
Old Man Hua frowned as he looked at the helpless Zhao family's wives and quickly made arrangements.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, there was no one in the Zhao family who could take care of things except Old Zhaotou.
Even the two Zhao brothers who had woken up did not ask how the old couple were doing at this moment.
Looking at the injuries on his body, he screamed in pain.
He shook his head and then looked at his son: "Chengtian went back to catch the car and sent old Zhaotou and the injured children of the Zhao brothers to the hospital first."
"Yes, yes, let's send the father and the others to the hospital first." The two daughters-in-law of the Zhao family finally stopped being confused and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Uncle, the village chief, the father of the child, they can leave it to you." As they spoke, the two daughters-in-law of the Zhao family wanted to cry again.
Old Man Hua was powerless to say anything. He waved his hand and told them to go and pick up the children quickly. The children's faces were turning blue from the cold.
Hearing this, Hua Chengtian also hurried home to catch the bullock cart.
Then Lao Zhaotou was put on the bullock cart with the joint efforts of everyone. It was only at this time that the Zhao brothers realized that their father was so seriously injured and had been unconscious.
The two of them didn't know whether they really felt sorry for their father or whether they were in pain, but they shed tears anyway. After getting on the bullock cart with everyone's help, they shouted to the unconscious old Zhaotou, but they still didn't think of their mother.
In fact, it’s not entirely to blame. When the Zhao family’s house collapsed, almost half of the people in Huajia Village came over. There were people everywhere in the yard. They were already miserable enough, but no one took the initiative to tell their brothers that their mother had died. She was gone, and the excavated things had to fill the yard. Some of them just blocked the old Qian family on the wooden board, so the Zhao family never knew that the old Qian family was gone. In addition, the mother was not put in the car, so they thought it was a good thing. Of.
"Uncle Village Chief, my dad...is he okay?" Zhao Hu looked at Old Man Hua with red eyes.
If it had been in the past, Old Man Hua would have had a bad look at Zhao Hu. After all, this was the owner who could open a dyeing workshop just by giving him some color. He was lazy and cunning.
Hua Laohan looked at the old Zhao on the bullock cart who was covered with a quilt that was dug out and stained with mud. He shook his head at Zhao Hu and said, "It will be fine."
Zhao Hu felt better now. He also thought that nothing would happen to his father, so he unconsciously helped Lao Zhaotou pull the quilt, but he couldn't stay cold anymore.
Seeing this scene, Old Man Hua felt a little relieved, thinking that he finally had some filial piety.
Little did they know that the reason why Zhao Hu hoped that his father would be fine was because the old couple valued the family's money very seriously and kept it extremely secretive. If the person lost the money, he might not be found. How could this be done? What would they do if they ran out of money? Life is hard, so it must be okay.
"Um...uncle village chief, you know, my parents are in charge of the family's money, and the house has collapsed. Let's go to the hospital..."
Zhao Bao, who was lying on the bullock cart, also spoke, his voice full of embarrassment.
Unlike Zhao Hu, he didn't hurt his limbs, but his back hurt badly. There were a lot of wooden thorns on it. Because there were too many wooden thorns and the cold weather, he was worried that Zhao Bao wouldn't be able to bear it. Hua Sanshan only dealt with the last one. Some of them are obvious, and some of them are still pierced into the flesh. Although they don't look fatal, they are very troublesome to deal with and may cost a lot of medical fees.
Zhao Bao didn't want to speak, but he was worried that if he didn't have enough money to go to the hospital and the doctor wouldn't show him, he would be the one who suffered. So after thinking about it, he spoke.
The most important thing is that the village chief's advantage is not easy to take advantage of, and he will have to live under the village chief in the future. He still needs to say what should be said, otherwise he will offend the village chief unless he doesn't want to live in Huajia Village in the future.
Old Man Hua glanced at Zhao Bao: "Don't worry about the money. I'll take care of it for you first. I'll pay it back after I find the money at home. It's important to look after your injuries now."
Hearing this, Zhao Bao finally felt relieved, "Hey...thank you, Uncle Village Chief. I will return the money to Uncle Village Chief as soon as possible when I find the money. Also, thank you all for your help to our Zhao family today. Without you, our Zhao family would not be able to survive today." Thank you all...anyway, I will definitely come and thank you when we get through the difficulties..." Zhao Bao choked up as he spoke, struggling to get up a little, bowing to everyone and saying thank you.
It seemed really sincere, and regardless of whether he would actually come to thank her in the future, hearing his words now made people feel comfortable.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the Zhao family, who cares about the small thank-you gift? At the moment, there is only sympathy. The aunt with shallow eyes said: "They are all from the countryside. I won't say whether I want to thank you or not. Let's go first. It’s important to take good care of yourself.”
"Yes, yes," many people sighed and nodded.
At this moment, everyone forgot that the reason why Old Zhaotou's house collapsed was his own fault.
"Thank you..." Zhao Bao's eyes were red.
Zhao Hu also said a few thank yous perfunctorily along with his younger brother. This also shows the difference between the two brothers. At least Zhao Bao was still paying attention to the appearance.
"Okay, we can't delay any longer, let's go quickly." Although it didn't take much time to say a few words, the old man Zhao Touhua, who was looking at his face getting worse and worse, still urged him hurriedly.
Just when Hua Chengtian was about to wave the bullwhip, the voice of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family came over, and she ran out holding her eldest son, Zhao Xiaoshu.
"And the little trees."
"He can't move his arms." Zhao Hu's wife put the child on the oxcart with tears in her eyes. Then she couldn't stop her tears when she saw the miserable face of her child's father, and started to cry again.
The other two children were not seriously injured because they were tightly protected by their respective mothers.
Hearing that the child's father was about to be sent to the town hospital, Zhao Bao's wife, who only had time to change the child's clothes, hurried out with her son in her arms.
The house collapsed and he was so frightened that he also had injuries on his body. After seeing the child's father, he couldn't hold back the emotions that he had struggled with before. So how could someone who didn't know how sad he was, think that the two of them wouldn't survive?
