Chapter 205: Xie Zhishu's Ending
Hu Guangbiao asked Xie Zhiyi to stay because his mother was sick.
Xie Zhiyi then looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "Sister, the last time you came to see me, I felt something was wrong. Why didn't you tell me such a big thing!"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him: "You are still young, and studying medicine is very time-consuming and laborious. I don't want to distract you."
Xie Zhiyi's eyes were red, but he didn't cry. His master said that men don't shed tears easily.
He stood by Sun Ruhua's bed and said, "Mom, you are so confused!"
Xie Jiaojiao touched his head and asked him to stay there while she took Jiang Weinan out.
Jiang Weinan comforted her: "Don't worry, didn't Doctor Hu tell you? Mother is just angry."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I know!"
He went to the kitchen and asked someone to prepare some of Sun Ruhua's favorite food so that she could have a hot meal as soon as she woke up!
Sun Ruhua woke up in the evening. When she woke up, she saw that it was almost dark outside.
When Xie Zhiyi saw her wake up, he felt relieved: "Mom, you really scared me and my sister to death!"
"What's wrong with me?"
Sun Ruhua asked.
"You fainted from anger!"
Sun Ruhua then recalled that she only remembered Xie Qian scolding her for being partial, and then Cuizhu sent her back to the house, and she didn't remember the rest.
As soon as Sun Ruhua saw Xie Zhiyi, she felt indescribable grievance in her heart.
"Zhiyi, mother..."
Xie Zhiyi held her hand and said, "Mom, I know you are in trouble. They are your flesh and blood!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Ruhua burst into tears.
Xie Zhiyi continued, "But, even if they are all your flesh and blood, there is still a distinction between the important and the unimportant!"
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Zhiyi: "Mother understands!"
"If mother knows, she shouldn't do such a thing!"
Xie Zhiyi sighed and said.
Sun Ruhua nodded.
Xie Zhiyi reached out his hand to wipe away her tears: "Mom, don't do this again in the future, otherwise it will not only embarrass you, but also embarrass your sister. Your sister has to work in the fields and run a business every day, and her energy is limited!"
"Mother understands."
Just as she finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao came in with hot meals.
As soon as he saw Sun Ruhua, he said, "I thought you were awake, so come over and have something hot!"
After saying that, he put down the tray in his hand and said, "Zhiyi, help mother get up to eat."
Xie Zhiyi responded and quickly helped Sun Ruhua over.
Xie Jiaojiao put down her chopsticks and asked Sun Ruhua with concern, "Is there anything else that's bothering me, mother?"
Sun Ruhua shook her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes: "No, no."
Xie Jiaojiao scooped her a bowl of chicken soup: "You haven't eaten anything today, drink a bowl of soup first to moisten your stomach."
Sun Ruhua nodded, quickly picked it up and drank it, the temperature was just right.
Xie Jiaojiao scooped another bowl for Xie Zhiyi.
"Thank you, sister."
Xie Jiaojiao touched the loose hair on his forehead.
Sun Ruhua said, "Jiaojiao, I know I didn't do the right thing this time!"
Xie Jiaojiao said: "Okay, let's just let it go. I won't mention it again."
Only then did Sun Ruhua feel relieved.
Xie Zhiyi said: "It's been a long time since I had dinner with my mother and sister Heyo."
Xie Jiaojiao also scooped a bowl of soup for herself.
"That's it!"
Xie Zhiyi nodded: "I want to eat the pancakes made by mother! Mother, next time you come back, can you make them for me?"
Of course Sun Ruhua is willing.
"Or else mom will do it for you now." As she said that, she stood up.
Xie Jiaojiao pulled her down and said, "Mom, don't worry. We have rice and vegetables here. We'll make them next time we go back to the village! You just woke up, don't faint again."
Listening to Xie Jiaojiao's caring words, Sun Ruhua nodded and sat down again. The three of them picked up the noodles together, just like that night a few years ago when the three of them sat around the pot to eat noodles, sip the soup and compare whose sound was louder.
This scene is so heartwarming.
Jiang Weinan stood guard outside the door until he heard laughter coming from inside, then he walked back into the house.
Xie Jiaojiao did not inquire about the matter of Xie Qian and Xie Zhishu any more. She only heard from Jiang Weinan later that during the day, Chen Hongju ran away with Xie Meng'er, and no one knew where they went.
Ye Hua didn't get the silver, so he chopped off three fingers of Xie Qian to warn him that he must take out the silver. However, Xie Qian really couldn't take it out, so he thought of the silver that Xie Zhishu got from selling the land. He didn't know where his father hid the silver, but it had been so long and he had never taken it out to use.
When Ye Hua heard this, he immediately turned his spearhead towards Xie Zhishu, who cursed Xie Qian for being unfilial and actually wanting his retirement money! He dragged his lame leg and ran outside, but Ye Hua gave him a chance and had someone catch him back and hit his other leg with a wooden stick!
Xie Zhishu felt pain, but was still reluctant to take out the silver.
The men brought by Ye Hua started fighting again, and Xie Zhishu was beaten so badly that he finally took out the dozen taels of silver from his underpants!
Ye Hua took the silver with some disdain, but he managed to get the money back at least. It was a little short, but it didn't matter. After all, the interest accounted for more than half of the fifteen taels, so it was still a profit!
Now that the money is in hand, the father and son will no longer be troubled.
"You said that if you had paid the money earlier, your fingers wouldn't have to be cut off and your feet wouldn't have been disabled. Alas, you have to suffer a little before you are willing to pay the money!"
After saying this, he left with a group of his men.
Xie Zhishu was beaten half to death, and he cried and yelled in the house, cursing Xie Qian for being an unfilial son!
Xie Qian wrapped his severed finger with a piece of rag and said to Xie Zhishu, "Can you blame me for this? It was you who took me to the gambling house in the first place! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself!"
Xie Zhishu was so angry that he grabbed something at hand and threw it at him.
Xie Qian dodged and walked in front of Xie Zhishu: "Dad, don't blame me!"
Xie Qian ran to Xie Zhishu's room, and Xie Zhishu was horrified!
"What are you doing, you unfilial son!" He couldn't move his legs and tried hard to crawl in that direction.
He was outside the house and saw Xie Qian rummaging through his house for a long time. Finally, he found a small piece of silver and a few copper coins in a crack in the wall.
Then he went back to his room and packed a simple bag.
Seeing him find the silver, Xie Zhishu asked loudly what he was going to do! Seeing him packing his bag, Xie Zhishu suddenly became afraid...
Xie Qian ran out, knelt down in front of Xie Zhishu, and kowtowed several times: "Dad, please forgive me for being unfilial. From now on, you will take care of yourself!"
After Xie Qian finished speaking, he stood up and walked away without looking back!
Xie Zhishu slapped the ground and yelled, but he didn't even turn his head. Finally, Xie Zhishu looked at the messy house, then looked at his legs, and finally fainted...
The daughter-in-law and daughter ran away, and the son also ran away, and no one treated Xie Zhishu's injuries.
He was hungry again, and finally could not help crawling to the town to ask for food, but he was covered in dirt and it was hard to tell who he was...
If someone took pity on him, they would give him some food; if no one took pity on him, he would starve.
This winter was colder than in previous years. Xie Zhishu was shivering in a dark corner. On the night of the New Year when 300,000 houses were lit up, it suddenly started to rain and snow in the south. Everyone was immersed in the good omen that the next year would be a good year for harvest. However, Xie Zhishu froze to death in an inconspicuous corner of the town that night...
