"Auntie, I know that it was thanks to you that my Ermao was found so quickly tonight. Are you really going to give them five taels of silver each tomorrow?"
As she said that, Aunt Zhang turned to look at her. This was not a small sum, five taels of silver per person. There must be sixty or seventy people present tonight, so it was worth several hundred taels of silver.
She wanted to share some, but her family's conditions really didn't allow it. Let alone five taels of silver per person, even fifty cents per person, she had to grit her teeth.
"Since it is what I promised, I have to give it to you. If there is no help from the villagers tonight, I don't know when we will find them."
Zhao Huanyu didn't care about the money. Not to mention that she was not short of the money now. Even if she didn't have much money, she would give them a thank you fee for helping these people save her brother.
"My family is not rich, but I can barely give each person fifty cents..."
Aunt Zhang struggled for a long time, and finally spoke. After all, she was the child of two families, and the Zhao family could not bear all the responsibility.
"Auntie, please don't say that. It's me who wants to give the money. It has nothing to do with your family. Don't have these burdens. Keep the money to buy some meat for Ermao to replenish your body. It's more practical than anything else.
"
Zhao Huanyu reacted and hurriedly explained.
She said the words of giving money out of desperation. At that time, she had no time to think about anything. As long as Tiedou and Ermao were well, she could do anything she was asked to do. However, she did not expect that it would bring pressure to Aunt Zhang's family. She felt that
With some guilt.
"But……"
Aunt Zhang still wants to insist. The men in her family are considered capable, and the family also has some savings. If it were not for Ermao to study, it could actually be more. Now she can still do it by spending a few taels of silver to thank the villagers.
But after that, her family's life was not very good.
"There's nothing wrong with it. This matter has been settled. Auntie, don't worry about it. Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."
Zhao Huanyu smiled and went to sit on the chair on the other side and doze off.
The two little guys were buried in the snow for a long time. They were young and had weak health. They had high fevers repeatedly at night, but Zhao Huanyu was so tortured that his eyes were red all night long.
Aunt Zhang even changed the water back and forth to wipe the two children's bodies to cool down. After the fever subsided, she didn't care about her back and just found a place to lean against and fell asleep.
When the sky was slightly bright, Xiao Tiedou finally woke up. The young man was seriously injured, his face was very pale, and he looked like a pitiful little ball, which made Zhao Huanyu feel extremely distressed.
"Sister..."
Zhao Huanyu took his little hand and replied: "Sister, I'm here. How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Little Tiedou subconsciously shook his head, touching the wound on his head, gasped, and whispered that it hurt.
"It hurts for sure. Your leg was broken by a broken branch, your head was hit by a stone, and you have dozens of bruises and bruises on your body. You have to take good care of yourself."
Zhao Huanyu coaxed him softly: "But it doesn't matter. With Sister here, you will definitely get better. Don't worry."
"My leg is broken, can I still walk and study in the future?"
He blinked his big eyes, showing a hint of worry.
"It's okay, trust me, sister, okay?"
Zhao Huanyu wanted to rub his head, but thought that he still had injuries on his head, so he took back his hand.
"Sister, I'm thirsty."
Xiao Tiedou spoke weakly, and Zhao Huanyu said hurriedly: "Sister, I will give you some water right now."
She ran to the kitchen. In fact, there was no fire in the kitchen and there was no hot water to drink. Zhao Huanyu took out some warm water from the space and brought it back.
Aunt Zhang was with me and didn't notice anything was wrong.
Er Mao, who was sleeping next to him, also woke up. Seeing that Little Tiedou had woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing he said was: "Little Tiedou, thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you in the future."
When Ermao woke up last night, he told everyone about the situation at that time.
The two of them were walking side by side at that time. Suddenly they saw a huge boulder rolling down the mountain. Ermao was stunned and completely forgot how to react. It was Xiao Tiedou who pushed him away and was not hit by the big boulder.
Otherwise, he might have turned into a puddle of meat long ago.
But even if he was not hit by the big rocks, he was still buried by the heavy snow that rolled down with him. Little Tiedou's legs were crushed by branches, and his body was also hit by other small rocks.
In this way, Xiao Tiedou actually saved his life. He didn't know how to thank Xiao Tiedou for saving his life.
Xiao Tiedou chuckled: "Brother Ermao, we are all fine, that's all."
This meant that he didn't need to thank him anymore. Aunt Zhang next to her immediately started to cry emotionally. These Zhao siblings are really good people, and they have done this without any intention of repaying them.
Mrs. Gao, who had just woken up, heard a familiar voice and hurried in to see. Little Tiedou had really woken up, and she burst into tears instantly.
"Tie Dou, you finally woke up!"
She didn't sleep much all night. She heard that Zhao Huanyu and Zhang were busy outside, so she could only pretend to sleep. She knew that going out would only cause trouble to her granddaughter. Her granddaughter was already very tired, and she didn't want to make her unhappy again.
At the same time, Zhao Dafu and Cao Gen also came out at the same time. Zhao Huanyu and the others were busy in Xiao Tiedou's room last night, so Cao Gen went to spend the night with Zhao Dafu.
Knowing that they were all awake, we went in together to take a look.
"Xiaoyu, Tiedou is awake, does that mean everything is okay?"
Zhao Dafu looked at Zhao Huanyu expectantly and spoke cautiously, fearing that he would make his daughter unhappy. After all, when her daughter was busy, not only were they unable to help, but they also made things worse, so they had to go to bed.
"It stands to reason that this is the case, but they all have some blood bruises in their heads. It will take a few days to see if it can be dispersed. In addition, Tiedou's legs will need to be raised for three or four months. He is still growing. He needs to
Take a good rest, otherwise you may become a lame."
Zhao Huanyu yawned. After Xiao Tiedou woke up, her heart dropped, and then a strong sleepiness hit her.
"Then I can't go to school?"
Xiao Tiedou suddenly felt very sad. He remembered that his repair fee was very expensive. If he couldn't go to school for three or four months, wouldn't he have wasted all that money?
It's not easy for my sister to make money, but he was so wasteful that he didn't even dare to look at Zhao Huanyu's face for a while.
"Your body is the most important thing, take good care of your body first."
Zhao Huanyu didn't think about this, and continued: "Anyway, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and the school holiday is coming soon, so it won't take long, don't worry."
"Yes, Tie Dou, don't worry, I will listen carefully and I can tell you what my husband said every night when I come back!"
