Everyone scrambled to get the leper to the hospital, and they waited until dawn before they were done.
After not sleeping all night, Yan Zhen didn't feel sleepy at all and returned to Wang's house in high spirits.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Dahua started to say angrily: "Huh, how much did it cost to go to my parents' house?
It’s not easy for my son to make money, but you do nothing every day, enjoy the blessings and don’t even know how to appreciate it, and you keep sticking up for your parents! You've lost all my son's money! "
The two younger ones also looked at Yan Zhen with indignation.
She looked like that rich lady who has no fingers in the spring water. Yanzhen sneered, "Don't worry, it won't happen when we get to the city."
"Of course not. If you dare to do this after entering the city, my brother will definitely beat you!" Wang Wenbin carried his schoolbag and waved at Yan Zhen with his teeth and claws.
After entering the city, they had a hard time. How much they look forward to now will be how disappointing they will be then.
Yan Zhen was eager to take care of everything here and go to the city, so he quickly took inventory of everything inside and outside Wang's house.
After lunch, the village chief's wife came to the Wang family and said that one of their sons was in a hurry to get married. She originally wanted to get a homestead to build a new house, but she didn't have enough money, so she wanted to buy an old house to deal with it first.
Although the Wang family has lived in their house for several years, it is a brick building with a grand entrance and courtyard. As soon as the village chief said it, that family was attracted by it, saying that if the price was right, they could give the money and sign the documents immediately.
Time waits for no one, so Yan Zhen was in a hurry to go to the city and didn't waste time on the price. He said directly: "Five hundred is enough."
"Okay! Sister, be happy, I'll go and reply to the buyer now." The village chief's wife said with a smile: "Your price is almost what they expected. Don't worry, it will definitely be successful."
Yan Zhen took out some farm tools that he had packed up in advance and handed them to the village chief's wife, "Sister-in-law, take them."
"By the way, sister-in-law, how's the leprosy doing? Why is there a fire at home?" Yan Zhen seemed to have mentioned it casually, looking at her curiously.
The village chief's wife didn't refuse. After taking it, she leaned into Yan Zhen's ear and said mysteriously: "I'm telling you, leprosy is a terrible thing."
"Didn't my man send him to the hospital? The doctor said that 80% of his body was burned. He won't die for the time being, but he will definitely not feel comfortable!"
"The leper kept screaming in pain! It sounded so irritating."
The village chief's wife snorted again, "You deserve it! Every day, he either pries open the door of the widow's house or peeks at the women going to the toilet, so he gets what he has today. God has eyes!"
Yan Zhen sighed: "Hey, it is said that burns are the most painful, but I don't know if a leper can bear it."
The leper has no money, and the fever has reached this level. It is estimated that after being tortured, the wound will become infected, and he will die slowly.
This is the best punishment for him.
The two of them were talking, and Yan Zhen sent the village chief's wife out. After a while, the village chief came to the door with the buyer.
They looked at the house inside and out and expressed that they were very satisfied. They also had money with them, and they signed the documents immediately for fear that Yan Zhen would regret it.
Liu Dahua's name is written on the certificate of approval and the land deed of this house.
Yan Zhen called Liu Dahua to press his fingerprints, and Liu Dahua pressed his fingerprints without thinking at that time, grinning happily.
She thought happily that after entering the city, she would never come back again in this life. Even if she sold it, she could still use the money to spend in the city.
Then the other party gave the money to Liu Dahua, and as soon as they left, the money was taken away by Yan Zhen.
Liu Dahua kept scolding her angrily, but what could she, a paralyzed person, do to Yan Zhen? I can only swallow my anger.
The right to use the five acres of land was also sold for 500 yuan, and Liu Dahua still signed and pledged it, and Yan Zhen collected the money.
Yanzhen then took the family's livestock, as well as tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, sheets and bedding, to the big market and sold them together.
Yan really felt a sense of relief when all the livestock she had raised and the crops she had tended were sold from her hands.
She used to do all the work at home. When it was dark, she would go out to cut grass and feed the animals. Then she would cook meals for the whole family, wait for her mother-in-law to get up, and urinate. Later, she carried the child on her back, coaxing her while working.
In fact, these are nothing, the work in the fields is the most grueling.
In the dog days of May, you have to weed and spray pesticides under the sun. In spring, when it was warm but still cold, she was unwilling to waste a pair of shoes, so she stepped on the ground with her bare feet and plowed the ground with a rake. When the autumn harvest comes, she will work day and night to harvest, carrying bags of grain back by herself.
Because the man was not at home, she didn't even dare to say a word of help to the men in the same village. Some farm work was too much for a woman to do, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
It was really hard, and she could finally get rid of these days.
After selling all the things, Yanzhen went to her parents' house to get the money.
Her mother and her sister-in-law kept reminding her, "It's true, this is the money our family made from selling iron, so you have to keep it and get your brother's affairs settled as soon as possible, do you understand?"
"Okay, I got it." Yan Zhen took it smoothly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will give you a letter when I get settled. We are blood relatives, how can I not care about it?"
When they sold her college entrance examination results for 500 yuan, she didn't want more and wanted 500 yuan from them. It was fair.
Yan Zhen calculated that the total amount of these items sold was more than 1,200. Coupled with the five hundred stolen from her mother's family, this money could live on for a long time in the 1980s. Yan Zhen packed up carefully, walked out of her parents' house and went straight to the state-owned hotel.
Braised chicken, pig's trotters, and braised fish, Yan Zhen had his first truly full meal.
In the Wang family, she didn't dare to eat meat before. Nutritious food was reserved for the elderly and growing children, but in the end she didn't get a kind word from anyone. Thinking about it, she was really stupid before.
When I waited for the Wang siblings to come home in the evening, I was very happy to see how "the whole family was just like a family".
"Mom! You must have made a lot of money from the sale! It's great. When we enter the city, we will have money to buy good things!" Wenjuan thought about buying floral skirts and hairpins, and she looked like a little princess.
Liu Dahua snorted with a gloomy face, "How do I know how many there are? They are all at your sister-in-law's place."
Wen Bin said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I'll make her vomit it out when we get into the city, or let me divorce her!"
When they were unhappy, she was happy. Yan Zhen returned to her house humming a song.
After all, we were traveling far away, and everyone was in the car. It was not safe to carry so much money and gold bracelets.
Yan Zhen found a piece of cloth, took a needle and thread, and sewed a pocket on his underwear.
She took out the money she needed on the way, stuffed all the remaining money into her pocket, and sewed it shut with thread.
Only keeping money close to you can make people feel at ease.
The weather was very hot in August, so a few people made do with it on the bare earthen bed all night. When it was dark the next day, Yan Zhen got up to take care of things.
They didn't have many things, only a few packages, which the old woman pushed in a wheelchair. After all, Wang Wenzhi worked in a hospital, so there was no shortage of wheelchairs.
Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, the village chief's wife had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as she saw Yan Zhen's shadow, she quickly ran over with the package.
The village chief's wife was thoughtful and prepared a can bottle for each of them, which was filled with boiled water. There were also a dozen eggs, steamed rolls, and pickled salted duck eggs in his pocket, which he planned to share on the train.
Yan Zhen spent money and asked someone with a tractor in the village to take them to the station, then went to the city, and then bought a train ticket to the provincial capital.
Liu Dahua took one look at the train ticket price and immediately became unhappy. She muttered, "It's enough for just a few of us. Why do we need people to give it away? It's a waste of ticket money."
The village chief's wife gave the old woman a look, "You don't have to worry about anything, just sit and be pushed around. Yan Zhen also has to take care of two children and carry so many things. How can one person be so busy?"
Yan Zhen knew how to act like a frustrated daughter-in-law in front of outsiders. She deliberately lowered her eyebrows and said submissively, "Mom, I just thought that with more people, we can take care of each other, so I asked the village chief and my sister-in-law to come together."
Compared with the previous two days, Yan Zhen's attitude had completely changed, just like when he was at the mercy of others. Since Yan Zhen knew that he was going to the city, he had been very energetic for two days, but now he became more honest as he got closer and closer to the provincial capital.
Liu Dahua guessed that Yan Zhen was afraid of complaining to Wen Zhi after they reunited with Wen Zhi. Thinking of this, Liu Dahua immediately became proud.
"Since you said that people take care of each other, then you should take good care of me, do you understand?" Liu Dahua sat upright on the chair and said with half-squinted eyes: "Daughter-in-law, I'm thirsty."
Yan Zhen immediately took out a can filled with boiled water, unscrewed it and poured it into Liu Dahua's mouth.
Caught off guard, Liu Dahua choked and squirted water out of her nose.
"Are you fucking trying to choke me to death!"
"Why did my son marry such a wolf-hearted person like you?" Liu Dahua waved his hand and waved the cans and bottles out of Yan Zhen's hand.
With a "clang", the jar hit the ground, and Yan Zhen was splashed with water.
The sound of the jar hitting the ground caused quite a commotion.
At this time, there was a military green figure not far away, it was Gu Weichen. He leaned forward and took a look. As a soldier, he was afraid that there would be some commotion, so he quickly strode over.
Gu Weichen walked to Yan Zhen and said, "What's wrong? Do you need help?"
A magnetic low voice sounded, a timbre she was familiar with.
Yan Zhen turned his head in surprise.
