Chapter 22 Heaven's Principles Are Clear, Retribution Is Unhappy
Shen Xiu didn't care at all about Zou's whereabouts, but seeing how anxious Wei Ping was, she could only comfort her: "Maybe my sister-in-law is delayed because of something."
Wei Ping hummed, "Then I'll look for it again."
But until dark, Weiping could not find Zou.
Yang still resented Zou for gossiping, and said calmly: "She is such an adult, so she won't get lost. Maybe she will come back tomorrow."
Father Wei said nothing.
Shen Xiu glanced at Daya beside her, and suddenly remembered something: "Sister-in-law won't go to the mountains!"
Wei Ping had just returned from searching around, and when he heard these words, he asked: "Going to the mountains?"
Shen Xiudao: "I guessed it. Last time I caught a fox in the mountains and sold it for a few taels of silver. Maybe my sister-in-law has been short of money recently and wanted to try her luck in the mountains."
Wei Ping's face turned a little pale. If Zou really went to the mountains and hadn't come back at this time, it meant that he must have encountered danger.
He couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately.
"Boss, don't leave yet." It was Wei's father who stopped Wei Ping. "It's so late. If you are really in danger when you go into the mountain, what will your mother and I do?"
Wei Ping's steps were a pause.
Father Wei continued: "Don't worry, no one knows where your wife has gone. Instead of going to the mountains to search for her now, it's better to have a good sleep and continue searching tomorrow. If your wife hasn't come home yet tomorrow,
, Dad will accompany you to the mountains to look for it."
Wei Ping was originally a person without a backbone. Hearing what Wei's father said made sense, he temporarily gave up the idea of going to the mountains to look for people.
Early the next morning, Wei Ping went back to his old house. When he came back, he also brought the bolt that he had left at Aunt Chen's house.
Seeing this, Father Wei knew that Zou had not returned home, so he took Sickle and Wei Ping to the mountains.
At noon, the two men came back from the mountains and brought back Zou, who was covered in blood.
Shen Xiu's guess was absolutely correct, Zou had indeed gone into the mountains. She only wanted to catch a fox, so she walked into the inner perimeter of Qingning Mountain.
But the beasts in the mountains are not vegetarians. Not long after Zou walked to the inner area, he encountered a wild boar. Wild boars are the most difficult to deal with in the mountains. Zou met another adult wild boar and almost lost half of his life.
, if she hadn't stumbled and fallen into a trap later, she might have died long ago.
However, despite this, Zou was also seriously injured. His arms and thighs were fractured to varying degrees, and he had to stay in bed for at least several months.
Shen Xiu heard that Mrs. Zou would lie in bed for several months. She said nothing in front of Da Ya, but in her heart she felt that it was God's right and she would not be happy with her retribution.
Yang didn't have as many scruples as she did, and said directly: "She deserves it. She deserves to be able to make trouble all day long. Now it's better. After tossing herself like this, I'll see if she dares to make trouble in the future."
Wei Ping said with a drooped face: "Mom, can you lend me some money? The doctor said..."
Yang said bluntly: "The money has been used to pay off debts. If you don't believe me, ask the second wife. If your wife hadn't made irresponsible remarks, we would have been able to hold on to the money for a few more days. Now it's fine. We don't have a penny in the family. You
Figure it out yourself!"
Before Wei Ping could finish speaking, he was blocked by Yang, and he had to sigh, "Then I'll think of another way!" After saying that, he left dejectedly.
Back at the old house, Ms. Zou was moaning in bed, asking for water and complaining of pain.
Wei Ping said angrily: "Just endure the pain. Who told you to go to the mountains? Don't you know it's dangerous in the mountains?"
Ms. Zou wanted to say why Shen Xiu was not in danger when she went to the mountains, but she swallowed her words again.
She still remembers the situation when she met the wild boar. At that time, she thought she was going to die there. Now that she can escape and come back, Zou already feels that it is God's blessing. If she doesn't keep her word at this time, she is afraid that God will not
Spare her.
Wei Ping rested for a while and then went to borrow money again.
The doctor said that Zou's injury was a bit serious and she would need to drink some medicine to recover quickly.
But the family only had the two taels of silver that Zou brought from Shen Xiu, and they had already spent almost all of them.
In order to help Zou get better as soon as possible, Wei Ping could only shamelessly go to various houses to borrow money.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the dignity of Wei's father, so he asked several houses but no one would lend him money.
Wei Ping failed to borrow the money, so he walked back disappointedly, thinking as he walked, they thought they would live a good life after the separation, but they didn't know that the good life did not happen, but instead it was full of twists and turns.
It would be nice if there were no separate families. Someone would help cook the meals, take care of the children, and help raise money.
It's good now, Wei Ping could only sigh helplessly. Thinking of what Wei's father said, he regretted it so much, but it was too late to regret it.
