Wu Yong was out of breath from running, "Auntie, is Yueyue at home? I have an urgent matter with her."
"Yo!" Although Yun Cuihe had some grudges about Wu Yong coming to see Chu Yue, she still shouted towards the main room, "Yueyue, Wu Yong from Niutou Village came to you and said there is something urgent."
Chu Yue, who was listening to Zhang Zheng's explanation of meridians and acupuncture points, heard the voice and wondered, why did Wu Yong come to Banpo Village?
She hurriedly left the room and looked at Wu Yong outside the courtyard door, "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Tao is ill. She has a high fever and has been in a coma for two days. I heard from my father that her illness has lasted for more than half a month. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover." Wu Yong said, his voice gradually weakened. .
When Chu Yue heard this, she was so worried that she burst into tears.
When Lu Xinghe heard the noise, he immediately put down the pen in his hand, stood up and left the room.
"Having been ill for so long, didn't her parents give her any treatment?"
Wu Yong shook his head, "At first, I was afraid of spending money, so I didn't take her to my dad's place, thinking that she could be taken care of, but it got worse and worse. It was said that I couldn't get out of bed a few days ago, so I asked my dad to take a look at her. I also recently I didn’t have any work to do. I didn’t know about it until I got back to the house, so I hurriedly came to tell you.”
Lu Xinghe nodded and looked at Yun Cuihe beside him.
"Mom, Yueyue and I are going to Niutou Village and will come back as soon as possible."
Yun Cuihe knew that Chu Yue cared about her sister and nodded immediately.
"Okay, you go with Yueyue. If it doesn't work, bring Xiaotao to home for treatment. With Dr. Zhang here, I think everything will be fine."
Chu Yue sniffed and said, "Thank you, mother."
She ran to the house to get the money bag, and after saying hello to Zhang Zheng, she and Lu Xinghe went out with Wu Yong.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Lu Xinghe looked at Chu Yue.
"Yueyue, I am fast on my feet. I will go to town first. You and Wu Yong will go to Niutou Village first. If everything goes well, I should arrive at Niutou Village at about the same time as you."
Chu Yue nodded, "Okay."
Lu Xinghe looked at Wu Yong again, "I will leave her to you for now."
Wu Yong's face was serious, "Don't worry, I will protect her."
The three of them split into two groups. Lu Xinghe ran towards Nanping Town, while Wu Yong and Chu Yue ran towards Niutou Village.
"Yueyue, please slow down, don't fall."
But Chu Yue seemed unable to hear his words, and just kept running forward. Even if she fell, she got up and continued, as if she didn't know the pain.
Wu Yong looked at the stubborn little girl in front of him and felt that although she had changed a bit compared to before, her concern for Xiao Tao remained unchanged.
He sighed and hurried to follow.
The two of them didn't stop along the way. Chu Yue took a walk when she was tired from running. It took only one and a half hours to reach Niutou Village, which originally took two hours.
Wu Yong followed Chu Yue all the way back to Chu's house. When Zhao Chunhua saw Chu Yue coming, she scolded her, "Aren't you so capable? Don't you want your mother's family anymore? Why are you still here now?" The face is back? Then why didn’t Lu Xinghe come with you? The newly dug pit is fragrant for three days, do you really think any man can be in love? Bah!"
Chu Yue didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Chunhua's sarcastic words.
"I'm here to see Xiao Tao, where is Xiao Tao?"
The water tank at the door of the kitchen was open, and the edge of the tank had dried to the point of cracking. There were a pile of unwashed bowls beside the water tank. It seemed that Xiao Tao was sick and couldn't get up, so no one washed the dishes at home. .
Chu Yue raised her legs and stepped through the courtyard door and wanted to go into Xiao Tao's house. Zhao Chunhua's eyes dodge and he stepped forward to stop her.
"Your father and your eldest brother made it very clear when they went to Banpo Village before. You have been assigned to Lu Xinghe and you are a member of the Lu family. You will have no relationship with our family in the future. You should leave quickly. Mo The debt collector is going to be brought to our house."
Chu Yue's eyes turned cold, "I won't leave until I see Xiaotao today. If you don't want debt collectors to come to your door, just let me in quickly."
Zhao Chunhua raised her chin slightly, her face full of pride, "I originally thought you didn't want your mother's family anymore, and you didn't want your sister by the way. It turns out you came back to see Xiaotao, but I'm afraid you won't be able to see her."
Chu Yue felt anxious, "What happened to Xiao Tao?"
Zhao Chunhua smiled and sat down in the yard.
"Well, if you ask me, Xiao Tao is worth a lot of money. Someone just bought Xiao Tao for five taels of silver, saying that he wanted to marry his mistress in secret. I thought Xiao Tao wouldn't survive anyway, so Yes, after all, you will marry into such a family. Even if Xiaotao goes down there, you will still enjoy the blessings. They have been driving away in the carriage for a while, and you may not be able to catch up."
This place is suitable for yin marriage. No matter whether the person dies or not, he will be buried with the deceased, which is equivalent to being buried alive. When he thinks that Chu Xiaotao, who is only five years old, has to go through such a thing, Chu Yue becomes angry all over. trembling.
"You are really not worthy of being parents, you are even worse than animals!"
After saying that, she turned around with red eyes and ran towards the entrance of the village.
Zhao Chunhua followed her to the door. Seeing that Chu Yue was running so fast, she only held on to the door frame and cursed, "You are such a little boy that even I dare to scold you. You deserve to be cheated by Lu Xinghe. Don't dare to go back to your parents' home again in the future." , I can’t beat you to death!”
Chu Yue ignored the crazy Zhao Chunhua and ran forward as hard as she could. There was only one road in Niutou Village where carriages could be driven. No matter whether she could catch up or not, she could not give up Xiao Tao.
Wu Yong has been following Chu Yue silently.
He knew how difficult life had been for Chu Yue and Xiao Tao these past years, so he came to help her from time to time, but Chu Youqian and Zhao Chunhua seemed to have no lower limit.
A good daughter can be tortured to death by them. The tiger poison does not even eat its children. People like them are really worse than animals!
At the entrance of the village, Chu Yue met Chu Youqian who had just returned from the town. He was humming a tune as he walked.
When he saw Chu Yue, there was a hint of surprise on his face, "Hey! You still know you're coming back? You're here to see Xiao Tao, right? It's not that dad won't treat her. Doctor Wu said she can't be cured. There’s nothing dad can do about it.”
Having said that, there was no trace of sadness on his face.
Chu Yue glanced at him coldly, "You seem to be in a good mood?"
"Isn't that right? I just won a hundred copper coins in the town." As he spoke, he waved the rice bag weighing about ten kilograms in front of Chu Yue, "Here, the brown rice I just bought. I won’t be hungry for a while again.”
Chu Yue sneered, "Did you know that Xiao Tao was sold?"
Chu Youqian looked surprised, "Sold? Who would dare to want her with her sickly appearance?"
"It was sold to a rich family for a secret marriage. Mom said she sold it for eight taels of silver. Dad can ask Mom when he gets back, but I won't talk to you any more."
After saying that, she continued to run forward.
Since Xiao Tao's life was exchanged for money, of course they couldn't use it so easily.
