Chen Hai picked up the chairs, cabinets, and tables that had fallen to the ground and straightened them one by one.
Seeing her son busy, Jiang Meixian wiped her tears and hurried over to help.
The mother and son worked hard for nearly an hour before the house became a little brighter and barely looked presentable.
"Mom, is there anything wrong with the money I gave you?"
Very tired, Chen Hai sat on the chair and took several deep breaths until his breathing became more stable.
"Don't worry, Xiaohai, I've hidden your money very well."
"There are kitchen knives at home. Those robbers can just move things. If they dare to steal money, I will fight them tooth and nail!"
Wiping the sweat on her head, Jiang Meixian responded.
"If the things are gone, they are gone. As long as the money is fine!"
"Didn't you and Dad always say that there is no future in the countryside and farming will only lead to a dead end?"
"After some time, when I make money, I will help you transfer your household registration and buy you a house in the county or other cities!"
Chen Hai sighed and promised.
What he said was not nonsense, but his true thoughts in his heart.
It's a pity that after Boss Li returned to eastern Guangdong, I don't know if he was busy with his new factory. There has been no news for a while.
Chen Hai wants to make money to buy a house and change his registered permanent residence, but he still has to settle on his collection of bottles and cans.
He wanted to sell these things himself, but he couldn't find a way to sell them.
There is no news from Boss Li. Those bottles and cans, no matter how valuable they are, can only be piled under his bed.
When he just cleaned up the house, he paid special attention to the condition of the bottles and cans.
Except for a pen holder and a snuff bottle that had some cracks and were broken when Chen Erleng and his gang were rummaging through the cabinets, other items were still intact.
"Xiao Hai, you are talking nonsense. Buy a house in the county? Transfer your household registration? How can it be that easy?"
"Besides, for us rural people, land is the foundation. If we really move to the county, what will happen to our family fields? What will your dad and I do for a living?"
"But your dad and I are very happy that you have such a heart!"
Jiang Meixian responded with a smile.
Although she did not believe that the promises made by her son could become reality, she was still very happy when she heard these words.
"Mom, with your son and me here, are you afraid that you and dad will go hungry?"
"Besides, if you can buy a house, you can definitely buy a shop."
"With a shop in hand, you and dad can just open a grocery store and it's enough to support yourself!"
Chen Hai smiled. In front of his mother, he temporarily suppressed the endless anger in his heart.
"By the way, where's dad? The cart is not in the house, and he went to town again?" Thinking of his father, Chen Hai asked.
"Your father has a restless temper. Early in the morning, he pulled a cart and went to town."
"It's a good thing he's not here, otherwise it would be strange if he didn't fight with them when he saw Chen Erleng and the others moving the TV!"
Jiang Meixian sighed.
"Sister Meixian, Sister Meixian, something bad is going on..."
While mother and son were chatting, an urgent voice came into their ears.
Immediately afterwards, a rough, dark-skinned man in his forties rushed into their home and appeared in front of Chen Haijiang and Meixian.
This man's name is Chen Sanpao, and he is also from their Chenjiaping Village.
On weekdays, when Chen Zhonghua was pulling a cart out of town to work as a coolie, he always liked to get together with Chen Sanpao.
"Sanpao, what's wrong? What happened?" After a brief moment of astonishment, Jiang Meixian quickly spoke and asked.
"Sister Meixian, hurry up and follow me to the town. Brother Hua was beaten and is still unconscious. He is lying in the town's central hospital!"
With an anxious look on his face, Chen Sanpao quickly replied.
"What..." Jiang Meixian's face, which had just improved a moment ago, suddenly turned pale, and her whole person seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Uncle Sanpao, my dad, I know, he never causes trouble. If he is bullied, he will just keep his anger inside."
"How come you suddenly got into a fight with someone and ended up in the hospital?"
He quickly helped his mother up. Chen Hai's expression was equally ugly, so he quickly asked.
"I don't know what happened!"
"I only saw a few guys holding a cardboard box, and they wiped it with Brother Hua as they passed by."
"The cardboard box fell to the ground, and those people, after a few words with Brother Hua, started taking action!"
"Those guys looked like they were not good people at first glance. They started to fight very hard. After beating Brother Hua until he fainted, they kicked him a few more times and then left in a big way!"
…
Chen Sanpao roughly told Chen Hai and Jiang Meixian what he knew.
From Chen Sanpao's words, Chen Hai roughly guessed something.
But at this time, it must be first to go to the hospital to see his father, and other things must be put aside for the time being.
After locking the door and following Chen Sanpao, the three of them hurriedly walked, but by the time they arrived at the town central hospital, it was already more than an hour later.
Chen Sanpao left first. After all, he had his own things to be busy with.
As fellow villagers, he has a good relationship with Chen Zhonghua.
After Chen Zhonghua fell into coma, he sent him to the hospital. After paying the medical expenses in advance, he rushed back to Chenjiaping to inform Jiang Meixian and Chen Hai that Chen Sanpao could help here. He was extremely benevolent.
On the hospital bed, Chen Zhonghua was still unconscious.
"Doctor, how is my dad? When will he wake up?"
Jiang Meixian stayed by Chen Zhonghua's side. After Chen Hai found the male doctor who diagnosed and treated his father, he tentatively asked him.
"Are you a family member of Chen Zhonghua?"
"Yes, I am his son!"
"The patient has internal bleeding and two broken ribs, but his life is not in danger. Don't worry about that."
"According to my judgment, he should wake up tomorrow at the latest!"
"But his current physical condition requires him to stay in the hospital for at least ten days and a half."
"The person who sent your father in paid only two hundred yuan. You came just in time. Go to the payment office and pay the hospitalization fee first!"
…
The male doctor had no expression on his face, he looked businesslike, he pointed to the payment office not far away and said.
"How much do you pay?"
"Pay one thousand first, and any more will be refunded and less compensation will be made!"
"Okay, I'll pay the money now!"
Chen Hai nodded. When he came out of the house, not only did his mother bring money, but he also brought all his belongings with him.
My father is still unconscious in the hospital bed.
As long as his father could recover, no matter how much money he spent, he would accept it.
"Little Zha San, are we so destined to meet you in the hospital?"
As soon as I walked to the payment desk, Chen Hai hadn't paid yet.
Not far away, Yao Dafa, a man with a crew cut, strode over to this side, surrounded by several big men.
When he saw Chen Hai, he deliberately waved and said hello to him.
