Chapter 42 Old House
"We are not afraid of harshness. We must study hard and make a name for ourselves." The brothers spoke solemnly.
What they have experienced in the past ten days has made them grow up, and they are no longer children digging in the ground every day.
In a short period of time, their horizons were widened, and what appeared in their eyes was no longer a world with their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky.
No longer just for a meal, a piece of clothing, let alone being beaten and scolded every day.
They are eager to read, to learn more knowledge and to see a wider world.
"Good, ambitious." Yu Wan admired her four brothers very much.
Although they are starting late now, she believes they will try to catch up with others and even surpass them.
Yu Haoran secretly clenched his fists. They must be strong, strong enough to protect the people they want to protect and what they want to do.
Let us say that after the village chief led Lao Yutou and his family of three back to the village, he handed them over to Lao Yu and Yu Dashan.
The village chief said to Lao Yutou: "Second brother, the matter is over. Live your life peacefully from now on. If you don't want to break up, take care of your family. The old ones don't look old, and the young ones don't look young. Hey. !”
Yu Dashan saw that the three of them seemed to have lost their souls, especially Yu Yang. The pig-headed face that Yu Wan had beaten into a face had not gone away at all, but had become even more red and swollen.
Yu Dashan called Mrs. Yu Wang to help the two old men into the bedroom and let them lie down. Then he asked Mrs. Liu to go to the kitchen to get some food.
Yu Dashan came out, found Yu Dahe and said, "Second brother, please go and ask your third uncle to come over and prescribe some medicine for your mother."
"No!" Yu Dahe threw up his sleeves and walked away. He was furious. There was still some rice in the field that had not been harvested, and now his second wife was doing all the work.
Yu Dahe saw Yu Dahai who was still in the yard and said, "Tell the third child to go. Wasn't his good daughter the one who beat him? Hum! You still have the nerve to come back."
Yu Dashan shook his head, helpless, and said to Yu Dahai: "Third brother, then go and invite the third uncle."
Yu Dahai carried his luggage and walked into the room where they used to live in the third room. When he entered the door, he saw that the beds inside had been dismantled and a room full of rice was piled up. He had no choice but to hang the baggage on the clothes pole outside, and then walked out of the house.
As soon as he left, the fourth child, Yu Dajiang, rushed out of another room. He quickly took off Yu Dahai's baggage, untied it and rummaged through it. Except for a few sets of clothes, there was nothing.
"Poor guy, he doesn't have a single coin, he lives in such a big house, and he works as a master for a few days for nothing. He is just trash. There are useless people everywhere he goes. Bah."
"Fourth brother, what are you mumbling about?" Yu Dahe originally asked Yu Dahai to call Lang Zhong and then returned to his room. After sitting for a while, he remembered that Yu Dahai seemed to have a baggage hanging on him. Then I came out. As soon as I came out, I heard the fourth child nagging.
Yu Dajiang hurriedly hid the baggage behind his back, "Nothing to say, you heard wrong, hehe, second brother, how are our parents?"
Yu Dahe looked around to see if there was no one, and said, "Huh! Don't be pretentious. Don't know? Go and see for yourself. Take it out. I saw it. It's the third child's burden. Do you want to take it all to yourself?"
"Hey, how can I do that? Do you have a share in seeing me? Come on, come on, I'll give you a piece of clothing." Yu Dajiang pulled Yu Dahe and ducked into the house.
The two brothers divided the clothes, one for you and one for me.
Yu Dahe: "There are really only these clothes in here? Not a single copper coin?"
Yu Dajiang pouted: "Can't I still lie to you? Let's go. The third child will come back later."
"Hmph! Come back as soon as you come back, a useless loser." Yu Dahe shook his sleeves and left.
When Yu Dajiang saw that Yu Dahe was gone, he also stood up, with the baggage tucked under his arm, and said "poof" at Yu Dahe, "What the hell, you are not just trash, but you are also trash, no!"
After two sticks of incense, Yu Dahai led Yu Sanbo who was carrying a medicine box. He was the only doctor in the village.
They headed towards the old couple's house. As soon as Yu Sanbo entered the house, he saw the two of them lying on the bed like dead people, and Yu Yang still had a pig's head on his face.
Yu Sanbo took a few steps in. Yu Dashan happened to be in the room as well. He hurriedly moved a stool and put it in front of the bed and said, "Sanbo, please show it to my mother."
Uncle Yu Sanbo nodded, first checked Lao Yu's pulse, then turned around and sat down to check Yu Yang's pulse.
After a long time, Yu Sanbo stood up and said, "There's nothing wrong with your father. He's just too frightened. Just take a few doses of medicine and he'll be fine. As for your mother, the swelling has subsided and she'll be fine after taking a few doses of tranquilizing medicine. Ask someone to come back with me to get it." Just medicine will do."
Then he took out a small bottle of medicine from the medicine box and put it in Yu Dashan's hand: "Apply this once a day for a total of five hundred coins."
After saying that, Yu Sanbo picked up the medicine box and left.
He really doesn't want to stay here any longer. There aren't many good things in this family. There are only one eldest son to guard the whole litter of sons and grandsons.
As the old saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight or the lower beam is crooked, the old ones have the same virtue, and the young ones can't be any better. Especially that Yu Yang, he didn't want to show her at all, he was mean and cruel. Even the beasts know how to protect their children, so she is good at it, but she is worse than a beast by rubbing her sons and grandsons to death.
Uncle Yu Sanbo carried the medicine box and didn't wait for anyone to follow him. He looked coldly at the old couple's house and strode away.
In the house, Yu Dahai didn't go out for a long time. Yu Dajiang looked at him doubtfully: "Third brother, why are you still here? The third uncle is gone."
Yu Dahai squirmed: "Brother, I don't have any money."
Yu Dashan sighed deeply. This third child really couldn't stand up to the wall. He couldn't figure out why none of his children looked like him.
Yu Dashan had no money in his hand. Anyone in the family who had a copper coin had to hand it over. He had no choice but to get close to Old Yu and see him staring at the roof with his eyes open.
Yu Dashan looked up at the roof. There were only a few beams and tiles. What was there to stare at?
"Dad, you know where Mom's money is. Get up and give 500 coins to the third child. Go to the third uncle and get the medicine back for you two old people."
When Old Yu heard about the money, he immediately turned over and got up, looking at Yu Dashan and Yu Dahai: "You two go out first."
The two brothers went out immediately and closed the door.
Old Yu then ran to the foot of the bed, picked up the stone, and took a look. It was empty? He rubbed his eyes again, and it was still empty. He immediately walked a few steps to the bedside, opened the secret compartment, and saw that the household registration was still there. He immediately turned it over, and when he turned to the page of Yu Dahai.
His chest pocket buzzed, and he collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's over!"
Outside the house, the two brothers heard the noise, pushed the door open, and saw Old Yu sitting on the ground, muttering "It's over".
The two brothers looked at each other, they helped Old Yu up and asked, "Dad, what's over?"
Old Yu reacted, rushed over, grabbed Yu Yangshi and asked, "Where's the money box? Where did you hide the money box?"
