Chapter 32: A Trip to the Gates of Hell
Mrs. Zhou Liu, this weathered old lady, her bound feet tell a long-standing story.
In Lu Xingchen’s eyes, before he was eighteen years old, his grandmother was his whole world.
At this moment, the old woman was barely breathing. Lu Xingchen leaned over the bed, holding his grandmother's hand. In his palm, he found the same warm and happy feeling as when his grandmother held his hand when he was a child.
Behind him, Bai Lanfang, like a fox taking advantage of the power of the tiger, read out the accusations against Su Qing, "Second Uncle, you've seen it too. Grandma should be dying. She's your biggest concern in this life. Yesterday, she said she had only one regret before she died, and she asked you to agree to divorce Su Qing no matter what. She's a country girl, uneducated, lazy, venomous, and schemes to hurt people. Since you two don't have any feelings for each other anymore, don't waste time on her. She doesn't deserve you. Promise Grandma now, and don't let her die with regrets."
We are far apart from each other, and I don’t know where all these negative comments and accusations come from.
Rumors are scary, Su Qing knew she had to stop it.
Su Qing's own grandmother had long passed away. Although the old woman in front of her was dying, she thought of her holding on to her last breath in order to wait for Lu Xingchen's return. From Lu Xingchen's expression, it can be seen that he was reluctant to leave his grandmother. The old woman must also want her grandson to live a happy life.
Su Qing did not feel much resentment towards the old man, but instead felt a little resentful towards Bai Lanfang.
I thought that what the old man said was probably because he was deceived by this woman and had bewitched the people.
Women have the most vicious hearts. Li Weimin’s wife Bai Lanfang is definitely involved in this.
Bai Lanxiang continued to exaggerate, "Second Uncle, you have to listen to grandma. Grandma loves you the most. She is doing this for your own good. She won't hurt you. She is almost dying. Grandma only asks you to divorce her. You can't let grandma down and regret it in your grave."
When she was moved, Bai Lanxiang shed a few tears. Her hypocritical look made Su Qing feel extremely disgusted.
When Lu Xingchen learned that his grandmother was seriously ill, he rushed to his hometown in a hurry, and went to the old man's room as soon as he put down his luggage. Su Qing could see how important his grandmother was in his heart.
Judging from the old man’s symptoms, he must have had malaria for some time.
Su Qing had heard Su Guisheng talk about Ye Lingshuang's mother Hu Xiao countless times. Even after two lifetimes, Su Qing would never forget this past event.
So Su Qing pulled Lu Xingchen up and said, "Xingchen, if I say that grandma's illness can still be cured, do you believe me?"
When he heard that grandma could still be saved, Lu Xingchen felt like he had suddenly grabbed the last straw. He would never let this straw crush his grandma.
Seeing Lu Xingchen's determined and expectant eyes, Su Qing felt very relieved.
"Ask someone to bring paper and pen." Su Qing's aura as a strong woman made people feel awe.
Li Weimin's son Li Jianhua turned around and went to the outer hall to get his math homework book, tore off a page, took out a Yuanzhu pen, and came back to give it to Su Qing.
15 grams of Angelica sinensis, 20 grams of licorice, 10 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, and 25 grams of Polygonum multiflorum.
Su Qing already knew this prescription by heart.
She handed the prescription to Lu Xingchen and said, "Please arrange for someone to buy the medicine as soon as possible. If you are late, it will be too late."
"Second brother, leave it to me!" Li Weimin took the prescription from Lu Xingchen. It seemed that he was also very concerned about the old man's condition.
"Remember the same prescription, take three doses each, one dose per day, boil it into half a bowl of water and drink it." Su Qing looked like a doctor treating patients at this moment.
After listening to this, Li Weimin went out to buy medicine.
"Is anyone there?" At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Who are you looking for?" It was the voice of Li Weimin who was about to go out.
"Excuse me, is this Li Tiejun's home?"
"Yes, there are people inside. Why don't you go in and find them?" Li Weimin was in a hurry to buy medicine, so he left after saying that.
"The space in the room is small. I suggest that everyone should not gather together. The patient needs ventilation, and too many people will make the air blocked." Su Qing said, and opened the window of the room.
Su Qing took over the role of the host, and even took over the show, which made Bai Lanfang lose her dignity. "You little bitch, you've only been married for a few days, and you're already pointing fingers. Why should we listen to you?"
When we gathered together just now, the old man kept coughing, having shortness of breath and heavy breathing. When everyone stepped back a little, the patient's condition seemed to have really improved.
Lu Xingchen just saw a glimmer of hope, but he couldn't let Bai Lanfang do that. "Sister-in-law, look, after the window was opened and the crowd dispersed, grandma is much better. We have to trust Su Qing for once. There are people outside looking for her. Let's all go out for a while, okay?"
Lu Xingchen remains calm and composed in any situation, has thorough logical analysis, and a sincere attitude, which makes people convinced.
"It's you." Su Qing recognized them at a glance. The people who came in were Aunt Zhang and the girl whose wallet was stolen at the station.
"This should be the matchmaker Aunt Zhang, right?" Bai Lanfang dressed up and swung her hips to greet her. "Oh, this girl is so pretty. She must be Hou Linlin, the girl who came to Niuling Town for a blind date. She looks like a perfect match for my second uncle."
Bai Lanfang circled around Hou Lin, feeling very uncomfortable as she was being stared at like a monkey.
Aunt Zhang looked at Su Qing with a somewhat evasive look. She probably didn't expect that the couple who came all the way here to get a divorce were Su Qing and Lu Xingchen.
The two of them were the couple that Aunt Zhang had been trying to match up. For a moment, she didn't know how to start the conversation or how to face the situation.
Instead, it was Hou Linlin who spoke first, "This is Bai Lanfang, Sister Fang, right?"
Bai Lanfang was called "sister" by a little girl, and she seemed to be a few years younger. She was naturally happy in her heart, "My second uncle Lu Xingchen is getting a divorce. He is a divorced man. You don't mind, right?"
"But I haven't heard that they are going to divorce, and they are fine, so why would they get divorced?" If Hou Linlin knew in advance who the blind date was, she would definitely not come. I don't know what kind of magic potion Aunt Zhang had given her.
"They will divorce. If my grandmother wants them to divorce, they must divorce. A lazy, illiterate country girl who has no feelings for my second uncle, can never enter my house." He originally wanted to say "Li's family", but then he remembered that Lu Xingchen's last name was "Lu", so he changed it to "my family".
"Sister Fang, you must have made a mistake. Sister Qing is a celebrity in our Niuling Town. She donated 2,000 yuan to the commune. She earned 600 yuan in three days and 2,000 yuan in ten days. Everyone in Niuling Town knows about this. How can she be lazy and like to eat?" Hou Linlin knew all about Su Qing's deeds.
What, earning 2,000 in 10 days? This is an amount that an ordinary person cannot earn in 10 years. I am sure this girl is not lying.
Many curious people in the village had already arrived. What Hou Linlin said was so shocking that there was a commotion among the crowd.
"Also, you said they were not in a good relationship. When Lu Xingchen was injured and hospitalized, sister-in-law Su Qing stayed in the hospital alone for two months. Who told you that they were not in a good relationship?" Hou Linlin explained and defended Su Qing, probably to repay Su Qing for recovering her wallet at the station.
"You little girl, you are here for a blind date, why are you speaking well of others?" Bai Lanfang didn't expect to be outwitted by this yellow-haired girl in front of her.
But Hou Linlin still did not back down. "You said Su Qing is a country girl. I also grew up in the countryside, a genuine farmer's daughter. Since you hate country girls so much, then there's no point in talking to her." After saying that, she wanted to pull Aunt Zhang away.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang pulled me back.
Su Qing listened on the side, feeling secretly happy, but she said nothing and her expression remained unchanged.
At this time, Li Weimin, who had gone out to buy medicine, came back. Su Qing took the medicine and went to decoct it.
After frying and cooling, feed it to grandma immediately.
After a long time, the old man's face gradually turned rosy, the spots on his body gradually disappeared, then he broke out in a sweat, and became much more awake and alert.
Grandma finally escaped from the gates of hell and came back to life.
