Changping Village.
Old Yang suppressed his excitement and looked up and down at the old woman standing in front of him.
The old woman wore green and black patched clothes and trousers, and her gray hair was pulled back with a bamboo hairpin.
Perhaps because she was in such a hurry, a few strands of hair on her temples fell down and stuck to her face with sweat.
She lowered her head, clutching the bundle she had brought with her tightly with both hands, her shoulders shaking slightly, as if she was so nervous that she could hardly bear it.
"Sister Chang'e, don't panic, it's just like you're at home when you get here!"
Lao Yang pushed the wheelchair forward and took a step forward. Mother Yu was so frightened that she took two steps back and looked up at him. Her eyes were filled with panic.
Old Yang stopped where he was, smiled gently at her, and raised his hand: "Don't be afraid, I just want to help you pick up the baggage so that you can sit down and take a breather."
Yu's mother did not dare to let go of the vigilance in her eyes, and shook her head gently: "I'm not tired. I'll go see Xingkui first."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Mother Yu finally saw Xingkui, looked him up and down, and finally held Yu Xingkui's hand tightly with both hands: "I heard from my wife that you had a stomachache and dehydrated yourself. How are you feeling now?" ah?"
Yu Xingkui couldn't bear to see my mother's anxious look, so he averted his eyes slightly and hesitated: "I'm feeling better now, and I've taken medicine. Don't worry, mother."
"You kid, how can I not worry?" Mother Yu's tears rolled out.
"Your father passed away early, and your son is young. The whole family relies on you to support him. If something happens to you, what will happen to the whole family!"
Yu Xingkui nodded slightly, feeling even more ashamed of his deception.
"Why are you having a stomachache? Can you find the reason?" Yu's mother wiped her tears for a while and asked again.
Yu Xingkui said: "I ate something oily and watery at night, and I didn't cover my stomach when it was hot..."
Mother Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I caught a cold in my stomach. I was thinking wildly all the way because I was afraid it was something wrong with my stomach."
She patted Yu Xingkui's hand gently and comforted him in turn: "As long as there is nothing wrong with the internal organs, we are not afraid. If you take good care of it for a few days, everything will be fine."
"Well, now that mother is here, I won't be afraid anymore." Yu Xingkui's eyes turned slightly red.
"Silly boy!" Yu's mother also laughed and raised her hand to rub Yu Xingkui's head.
Lao Yangtou also pushed the wheelchair in, looking at the mother and son beside the bed with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction, as if he was looking at his wife and children.
Although, he has never looked at his real wife and children with such satisfaction in his life...
"Sister Chang'e, don't worry. I asked the doctor to prescribe the best medicine for Xingkui. The doctor said he will be fine."
Taking the opportunity of comfort, Lao Yangtou stepped forward again.
In front of Yu Xingkui, Yu's mother couldn't show her face to Lao Yangtou, not to mention that her son's errands were in other people's hands, and they would give him medicine and so on.
"Well, thank you very much, Brother Yang. My wife came home earlier and said that you don't want her to pay for the medicine. If that's the case, then the medicine money should be deducted from Xingkui's wages. We can't ask the employer to pay for medical treatment." Mother Yu said.
Old Yangtou's face dropped: "Sister Chang'e, what you said is too outrageous, and it also hurts my heart. Are you, my brother, the kind of person who has short-sighted eyes and cares about a small amount of medicine money? "
"You put Xingkui next to me. On the surface, he will take care of the food and daily life of an old man like me, but in my heart, I treat him as a child in the family. He is sick, and I am more anxious and worried than anyone else. If I hadn’t been unable to take care of him due to my poor legs and feet, I wouldn’t have been able to wake you all up on such a hot day.”
The old man's words made it impossible for Yu's mother to make a mistake. She forced out a smile and nodded.
"Brother Yang, you are a kind and enthusiastic person, we all know that," Yu's mother also said, "However, now Xingkui is taking care of you with the wages paid by Lao San and the others. This is the relationship between the boss and the boss. If the code is the same, you still won’t be able to pay for the medicine.”
Old Yang waved his hand: "It's too out-of-the-way. It's really too out-of-the-way. I won't talk to you about these things for now. The most important thing is that you stay with Xingkui first, and the mother and son have a good talk."
Old Yangtou actually turned around and left the house, returned to his house opposite, and even closed the door.
In this room, Yu Xingkui motioned to Yu's mother to go over and close the door of his room first. He had something to say to Yu's mother in private.
Yu's mother understood, went over to close the door, and returned to the bedside, "Xingkui, what do you want to say to mother?"
Yu Xingkui held Yu's mother's hand, but before he could speak, his eyes turned red.
He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mom, my son is unfilial. In fact, my son is not sick. He lied to you."
"Ah?" Yu's mother was surprised and couldn't help but look at Yu Xingkui again, her eyes full of doubts.
"Son, why did you lie to your mother when you're so good?"
"Mom, my son doesn't want to do it either, but he really has no choice. Someone forced me to do this..."
"Someone forced you?" Yu's mother was shocked. She turned to look at the door and lowered her voice to the lowest level: "Is it the one who came here before?"
Yu Xingkui was stunned for a moment, nodded heavily, and told Yu's mother all the threatening words that Old Yangtou told him yesterday.
"Mom, I really have no choice. I can't bear to let you come here and be wronged. But this job is related to our family's livelihood. I finally paid off the debt and saved some money. I want to take advantage of this If you have a good opportunity to save more, you can save three taels a month here. If you go back to work in the farm and save expenses all year round, it will be good if you can save two taels..."
After hearing all this, Mother Yu was so angry at Lao Yangtou that she gritted her teeth and fell into a conflict.
"That old immortal thing was greedy and irresponsible when he was young. Now he's still a bitch now. He even used threats. Why doesn't he die?"
Mother Yu gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, but then she thought, if the old guy died right now, her family wouldn't be able to make that money.
"Mom, I really have no choice in this matter. I can only trick you first. You have more experience than me. Please help me think of a way!" Yu Xingkui begged again.
Mother Yu put away her anger and sat there quietly thinking about this matter...
When I was young, I had no idea, and my mother almost took me down the wrong path, almost ruining my reputation.
Now, she is a sixty-one-year-old woman, and her life is coming to an end. She has experienced many things, or has seen other people's experiences. Mother Yu thought calmly...
…
At night, Yu's mother rolled out the noodles, made minced eggplant with meat as toppings, and gave a bowl to Lao Yangtou's house, and another bowl to Yu Xingquina.
Lao Yang raised his hand to roll out the dough. He didn't rush to eat it. He put it in front of his nose and took a deep breath, his eyes brightened.
