He wiped the sweat from his face and whispered into Old Man Shi's ear.
Others couldn't hear what Boss Shi said, but Shi Jiang heard it clearly.
She lowered her eyes in the woodshed, secretly feeling pity.
Unexpectedly, Shi Laosan seemed to hit Xu Laowu with all his strength. Xu Laowu also looked like he was covered in blood after being beaten, but it turned out that he only had two broken ribs and a few teeth in his mouth.
When the old man heard what the boss said when he came back, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Then his face became serious again, for no other reason.
Although Xu Laowu is no longer in fear of his life, his injuries and the money for medical treatment at the health center cannot be paid by his family?
The most important point is that even if the cost of treatment is paid, Xu Laowu will definitely not agree so easily.
At least, it still takes a lot of money to settle Xu Laowu.
When he thought about how his already poor family, Dingdang Xiang, was now even worse off, old man Shi's face could not get better.
"Dad, the captain said that if our family doesn't take the money, the village can advance it first. However, the money will be deducted from our work points. When the time comes, Xu Laowu will have to give him as much as he says.
Got it!"
When the boss saw his father like this, he didn't understand why he didn't want to pay.
Hearing Boss Shi say this, Old Man Shi finally let out a long sigh and called Mrs. Shi to go to their house, bring out the money and give it to Boss Shi, asking him to pay for the treatment first. As for the follow-up compensation, Mr. Xu will wait for it.
Let’s talk about it when we get home.
The old lady Shi didn't expect that her chickens that laid eggs were gone and she was still paying so much money, so she couldn't help but howl out loud.
However, before she could sit down on the ground, slap her thighs and start crying, Old Man Shi stopped her crying with a sharp shout.
Seeing that her old man had really lost his temper, the old lady Shi swallowed back the wails that came to her lips, wiped her tears and entered the house, trembling her hands, and came out with twenty yuan, her face full of reluctance.
Pass it to the boss.
Shi Laosan, who was trembling with fear at home, was relieved when he learned that Xu Laowu was not dead but only had two broken ribs.
When the boss paid the treatment fee and came back, he was full of energy again.
He kept mumbling that the boss and the second child were so cowardly that they didn't even dare to fart when they saw Xu Laowu.
He was different, and he gave a big sigh of relief to the Shi family.
The implication behind the words is that after Xu Laowu comes home, he will be beaten again.
"Okay, Lao San, is it possible that your mouth is just for talking? Didn't you see how much money our family paid for Xu Lao Wu's medical treatment this time? If you have more money, you can beat him as much as you can.
Don't get involved with me. This money is all earned by my brother and I through hard work. It's blood and sweat. I can't bear to just throw it into the water without hearing a sound."
When the second child heard the third child bragging like this, he immediately replied with disdain.
After saying that, he glanced at Old Man Shi and Old Mrs. Shi, who had dark faces.
"Father, mother, if the third child behaves like this again, then it's better to divide our family. Of these twenty yuan, I also have a share of it. Just spend it in vain. The third child doesn't feel bad. I
But it hurts a lot.”
"Labour and management are not dead yet, so what is the division? Stop talking nonsense and go to work."
When the old man heard what the second and third sons said, he felt very depressed. He picked up the hoe and yelled at his three sons.
Hearing that his father had lost his temper, Shi Lao Er finally shut his mouth, and Shi Lao San suppressed his original desire to step forward and quarrel with him.
After all, spending these 20 yuan will not only feel distressed for the second child, but also for him!
All the men in the family have gone to work, so naturally Shi Jiang will not stay at home.
After all, wait a minute, Mrs. Shi will definitely catch someone to vent her anger on.
Shi Jiang, who followed Old Man Shi and the others out to work in the fields, saw a group of half-grown children forming a circle when they were halfway there.
"Smash him with mud, haha, hit him on his clothes and make him wear new clothes to show off."
"Look at his pale face, does it look like he's been painted with lime powder?"
"Fart, lime powder is as white as snow. Where is his face white? It looks sallow to me."
"How about you put him on the wall and take a look at it to see if his face is white or lime-pink?"
The group of half-grown children laughed and picked up the mud from the mud and threw it on a boy who was pushed to the ground. At the same time, they reached out to pull the boy's hair and raised his face to the sky, revealing his pale body.
Colorful face.
"What are you doing?"
Shi Jiang didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and frowned and asked the group of half-grown children.
Several half-year-old children had a guilty conscience, and when they suddenly heard Shi Jiang's voice, they were frightened. They didn't have time to turn around to see who asked the question, and ran away with a huff.
The corners of Shi Jiang's mouth twitched. With this little courage, you still want to do bad things?
The group of half-grown children ran away, revealing the boy sitting on the ground surrounded by them.
Shi Jiang looked him up and down. He looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. His face was very pale, and there was a black spot at the corner of his mouth. It looked like he had been beaten by those half-grown children just now.
His body looked very thin, and his clothes felt empty under his clothes. His wrists were exposed outside the sleeves, and they were so thin that they seemed to break if they were broken.
The originally brand-new blue coat was covered in mud, and it must have been thrown away.
"Are you okay? Do you want me to take you home? I remember the faces of those children just now. Do you want to go talk to their parents?"
Although Shi Jiang felt that even if he complained to the parents of those children, it would not have much effect.
After all, what those children said must have been repeated by adults after they heard it from their mouths.
When the boy heard Shi Jiang's voice, a trace of blood came to his originally pale face.
He pursed his lips tightly, with a blush on his cheeks. He lowered his head uncomfortably, not daring to look at Shi Jiang, and just shook his head silently.
When Shi Jiang saw him like this, he didn't force himself too much.
After all, she can help for a while, but she can't help forever.
If the boy can't stand up on his own, it's useless for her to help him.
Shi Jiang withdrew his eyes, said nothing more, and headed directly towards the fields with the hoe on his shoulder.
When passing by the boy, the boy just got up with difficulty, and then said thank you in a voice as small as a mosquito.
Shi Jiang nodded, accepting this thank you.
She didn't know that after she walked over, the boy looked at her back for a long time, then slowly turned around and limped home in a cold sweat.
