Qian Shulan looked at the young man in front of her who was reaching out to her and said coldly, "No."

Zhengkang stamped his feet anxiously, "Grandma, this is required by the school. Everyone has to pay it. I can't fall behind."

Qian Shulan frowned and said, "Well, I'm going to your school tomorrow, I'll help you pay it then."

Hearing this, Zhengkang was frightened. He looked at Qian Shulan's face, as if trying to tell the truth from the false. Seeing his grandmother's serious expression, it seemed that she was serious. Zhengkang waved his hand quickly, "If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Why go to our school? When the classmates see that you only pay one dollar, they ask your parents to come. They will laugh at me to death."

Sun Daqin, who was standing nearby, had not dared to say a word. After hearing this, she quickly agreed, "Yes, mother, Zhengkang is old enough to know how to save face. Just give it to him."

Qian Shulan said to Sun Daqin, "I just happened to go to the school to ask Xiaomei if she can go to school. It's not just for him."

Hearing this, Sun Daqin shut up. She said, how could her mother-in-law go to school just for Zhengkang

Zheng Kang on the side was a little anxious, "Grandma, no need, I forgot to tell you just now, I have already paid the money."

Having said that, he ran away.

Sun Daqin frowned and looked at the direction he ran, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Qian Shulan had no good feelings towards Zhengkang, who was a master at lying.

Every time he came home, he would tell me that my school charged various miscellaneous fees and that he had cheated me out of a lot of money, which he spent on the little girl.

Only the original body believed his lies, such as tricking the girl back to be his wife.

People are as stupid as pigs, yet they think they are very smart.

Qian Shulan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Qian Shulan was just talking casually. It is not so easy to get into high school nowadays. After the junior high school entrance exam, there are only a few recommended places in a class.

Xiaomei didn't even go to junior high school, so it's naturally impossible for her to go to high school.

She was just trying to deceive Zhengkang. Qian Shulan said to Sun Daqin, "You figured it out, didn't you? Zhengkang is lying. From now on, don't give him money anymore."

How can he support the little girl without money

Qian Shulan forgot the existence of Wang Shouren.

Zhengkang, who failed to get money from his grandmother, ran to the county town that afternoon to ask Wang Shouren for it.

Wang Shouren just happened to have the five dollars of living expenses that Qian Shulan gave him.

When I heard that my son’s school needed to pay money, I paid it without saying a word.

Not only that, he even gave an extra dollar.

He only had three dollars left.

After getting the money, Zhengkang rushed back to school without stopping and immediately gave the money to Liu Fangming who lived next to the school. At the end, he asked worriedly, "Is the money enough? If not, I will ask my father for more. He is a temporary worker in the Grain and Oil Bureau and earns 19 yuan a month." He patted his chest with a proud look on his face.

Liu Fangming's eyes flickered. She pursed her lips and lowered her head in embarrassment. "That's enough. I have no choice. My father listens to my stepmother. She is so vicious. She doesn't give me food and makes me get up every day to cook and wash clothes. My hands are all red." As she spoke, she showed the back of her hand to Zhengkang. There were several calluses on her shriveled hand.

These hands made Zhengkang's heart melt. He grabbed Liu Fangming's hand and looked at her pitiful appearance, deeply moved. "Xiaofang, don't worry, I will definitely support you in the future. We will get married when I graduate from high school. By then, you don't have to worry about being bullied by your stepmother. I will be responsible for taking care of you and supporting you."

Liu Fangming, whose hand was grabbed, glanced around with the corner of her eyes. Seeing no one, she blushed with shame. She hurriedly pulled her hand back as if she was afraid of being seen. Finally, she raised her head and glanced at him quickly, fearing that he would be unhappy. Seeing that he was staring at her without any anger, she pretended to be very shy and quickly lowered her head, stamping her feet in shame and annoyance, "What are you looking at!"

Zhengkang scratched his head with a silly smile, and his ears turned red when he said "You look good".

Liu Fangming pursed his lips and glared at him in an angry tone, "Idiot!"

Then, he turned and ran away, still tightly holding the two dollars Zhengkang gave him.

When she ran to a deserted place, she secretly glanced at Zhengkang, who had been standing there and smiling foolishly in the direction she left. Afraid of being discovered by him, she quickly retracted her gaze. She spread out the money in her hand, and when she thought of her father at home, a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

After school, Zhengkang went to the cafeteria to get food and shared it with Liu Fangming who came to see him. After dinner, he sent her home. But as soon as he walked out of the school gate, he met two 15- or 16-year-old scoundrels who were sloppy and blocked their way.

"Oh, this girl is pretty. What's your name? You're in a relationship at such a young age? Why don't you follow me? I'm from the city. If you follow me, you won't have to earn food." The young man in the lead, wearing a blue shirt, looked like a second-rate guy. He had a cigarette in his mouth, bent his head, and reached out to touch Liu Fangming's face.

Zhengkang quickly stood in front of Liu Fangming and glared at the young man in blue, "Try to touch her again?" His expression was like a lion with its fur standing on end, but with his childish face, he really had no deterrent effect. He looked more like a house cat than a lion.

The young man in blue was not afraid of him at all. He tilted his head and smiled playfully at the young man in gray next to him, "Dongzi, look at this, he is still a man who loves his wife."

Dongzi smiled at him appropriately, and to show his loyalty, he flattered him in a particularly fawning way, "Brother Qiang, that's because he doesn't know your reputation. If you tell him, I guarantee he'll be scared to death."

Brother Qiang was flattered and nodded with satisfaction. He turned around, threw the cigarette in his mouth directly into Zhengkang's face, and then kicked him quickly with his leg.

Zhengkang, who was dodging the cigarette butt, was caught off guard and kicked by him. He then staggered a few steps and almost fell down.

Liu Fangming quickly supported him.

Brother Qiang quickly kicked him again, and this time Zhengkang pushed Liu Fangming aside and rushed forward. As a real man, how could he let his woman be bullied

As a result, the two fought fiercely. Seeing this, Liu Fangming also stepped forward to help and pulled Qiang Ge away from Zhengkang. But she was thin and weak, and she had no strength, so Qiang Ge just threw her lightly and she fell to the ground.

After falling to the ground, Liu Fangming's hand touched a small brick. She watched Zhengkang being beaten by Brother Qiang with one punch after another, and she felt a little scared, but she still gritted her teeth, picked up the brick, and was about to smash it on Brother Qiang's head.

But she obviously forgot that there was another person. Although Dongzi was just a lackey with little fighting ability, he was a man after all, and his eyes were particularly sharp.

Seeing that she dared to hit Brother Qiang on the head with a brick, he immediately rushed towards her.

The stone in Liu Fangming's hand fell directly to the ground. Brother Qiang, who had been fighting non-stop, finally came to his senses. Seeing the brick rolling away, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

He released his hand that had been holding Zhengkang's arm, stood up from him, walked towards the brick, bent down to pick it up, and was about to hit Liu Fangming's head who had fallen to the ground.

Suddenly someone grabbed his legs.

Brother Qiang looked down and saw that it was him. Zhengkang's nose was bleeding, his eyes were dizzy, and he kept rolling his eyes. But seeing his partner being bullied, he didn't care about anything else. He got up from the ground and hugged Brother Qiang's legs without thinking too much to stop him from hitting Liu Fangming.

Brother Qiang, who was so angry that he lost his mind, smashed the brick in his hand towards Zhengkang's head.

Blood flowed all over the ground and Zhengkang fell down.

Liu Fangming screamed in fright.

Brother Qiang and Dongzi were also stunned by the splattering blood.

Soon, more and more people gathered to watch.

Wang Shouren heard a young girl calling him outside the door and felt a little strange. It was impossible for him to know any young girl in the city. Could it be Xiaomei

That's impossible. How could his mother let Xiaomei go to the city alone to find him

Wang Shouren walked out the door with doubts.

Standing at the door was a little girl in a blue patched dress. She had big eyes, an oval face, slightly dark skin, but very red lips. She was very thin, even thinner than Xiaomei.

"Who are you?" Wang Shouren thought about it in his mind, but couldn't figure out where he knew this girl.

Liu Fangming's eyes were red, and he quickly asked Wang Shouren, "Uncle, is Wang Zhengkang your son?"

Wang Shouren nodded immediately.

Liu Fangming immediately said, "Uncle, Zhengkang was beaten and is now in the hospital."

Liu Fangming found a carriage that was passing by to help take Zhengkang to the hospital. But when she arrived at the hospital, she found that she didn't have enough money, so she went to find Zhengkang's biological father.

Wang Shouren felt as if he was struck by lightning on the forehead, and as if someone poured a basin of cold water over him from head to toe, his whole body was numb. He was stunned on the spot, and after reacting, he stared into Liu Fangming's eyes, "How is he injured?"

Liu Fangming wiped her tears and sobbed, "Someone hit me on the head with a brick. I bled a lot."

Wang Shouren was so distressed that his face turned pale. His head was dizzy and he even forgot to ask for leave. He kept urging Liu Fangming, "Take me there quickly."

Liu Fangming immediately led the way.

The guard heard the two people talking inside and immediately understood what was going on.

Thinking of the old lady who had asked him to help take care of Wang Shouren, he sighed and went inside to ask for leave for Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren brought Liu Fangming to the hospital. Seeing his son's head wrapped with layers of gauze, he felt so distressed that he kept wiping away tears.

The nurse came over and reminded Liu Fangming, "Family member of the patient, you should go and pay for the medical expenses. Two dollars can only arrange a bed. The patient's condition needs to be examined by a doctor."

After hearing this, Wang Shouren stopped crying.

Liu Fangming embarrassedly explained to Wang Shouren, "Uncle, I only have two dollars on me and I paid it all. I heard Zhengkang say that you work at the Grain and Oil Bureau, so I came to you without thinking."

Wang Shouren didn't blame the girl. He quickly took out the money and asked the nurse, "How much does it cost?"

The nurse didn't say anything, "Pay thirty first, and I'll pay more if it's not enough."

Wang Shouren couldn't believe his ears. Thirty yuan? He took a deep breath, looked at Zhengkang on the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have enough money. I'll go back and get it." Then he told Liu Fangming, "Please take care of Zhengkang for me. I'll be back soon."

Liu Fangming nodded.

After Wang Shouren left the hospital, he ran to the Water Conservancy Bureau. In the county town, he could only look for his fifth brother.

Wang Shouzhi, who had just returned from the countryside, took off his clothes and was about to have a good sleep when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

He glanced at Xiaodie who was sleeping soundly, and seeing that she was not awakened, he immediately got up, turned on the light and went to open the door.

Seeing that it was his elder brother, Wang Shouzhi was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"

It was pitch black outside. Wasn't his elder brother in the countryside? Why did he come to the county town

Wang Shouren didn't bother to explain and said directly to Wang Shouzhi, "Zhengkang was beaten up and is now lying on a hospital bed. The doctor is waiting for me to pay, but I don't have that much money, so I came to borrow from you."

When Wang Shouzhi heard that Zhengkang was beaten into the hospital, the smile on his face disappeared, "How much does it cost?"

"Thirty, if not enough, I'll make up for it."

Wang Shouzhi immediately opened the door and invited the person in, and reminded her, "Xiaodie is sleeping soundly, be gentle."

Wang Shouren nodded, but did not go in. He just stood outside the door waiting for him.

Wang Shouzhi took the money and came out quickly. He put on a coat and shoes again and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."

Wang Shouren nodded.

The two brothers rushed to the hospital.

After paying the money, the doctor started to treat Zhengkang.

"The patient's main injuries are external injuries. He seems to have been hit hard on the head and needs stitches. Please go and pay for the surgery."

Wang Shouren asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Fifty"

Wang Shouren glanced at Wang Shouzhi, who nodded to indicate that he had enough money, and immediately stood up to pay.

After paying the money, the doctor performed the surgery on Zhengkang.

Only then did Wang Shouzhi have time to ask what had happened.

Liu Fangming told the whole story of what had happened.

Wang Shouzhi looked at the girl in surprise, "Where are those two young men?"

Liu Fangming wiped her tears and said, "ran away"

Wang Shouzhi frowned and said to Wang Shouren, "Brother, you stay in the hospital to take care of Zhengkang first. I will take this girl to the police station. I think we can find out the nicknames of the two."

When Liu Fangming heard about going to the police station, he was a little timid.

She lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes, like a pitiful little white rabbit.

Wang Shouzhi had no good feelings towards this girl, and he knew that he was just venting his anger on her. Who made his nephew fight with a second-rate guy for this girl? Although it was not the girl's fault, he still felt unhappy.

He frowned, a little unhappy, "Zhengkang will need a few stitches on his head for you, you won't even dare to call the police, right?"

There was a chill in his voice, which frightened Liu Fangming.

She was not afraid of going to the police station, she was afraid that her father and stepmother would find out. Then, she would inevitably be beaten up by them.

She was afraid of pain, but Zhengkang suffered such serious injuries for her.

She hesitated again.

Wang Shouzhi didn't care what she thought and directly ordered her to follow.

After leaving the hospital, Wang Shouzhi returned the two dollars she had paid before.

After seeing the two dollars, Liu Fangming's hesitation was obviously much less.

Yes, Zhengkang was so good to her, she couldn't just avoid a beating and not help him get justice.

When he arrived at the police station, Liu Fangming told the police officer everything that had happened that evening.

When the police heard these two names, even though they were just nicknames, they could guess who they were in an instant.

It seems that he is a veteran.

An hour and a half later, the two young men were brought in.

Finally, he pleaded guilty.

The police directly asked them to compensate for medical expenses, hospitalization fees and nutrition expenses.

After some wrangling with the families of the two young men, the two ended up paying 150 yuan in compensation.

If Zhengkang's condition is serious, we will have to continue to pay the money.

After leaving the police station, Wang Shouzhi wanted to send Liu Fangming home. Seeing this little girl looking ready to die, Wang Shouzhi secretly guessed her family situation.

Wang Shouzhi sent the person to the door but did not go in for fear of causing misunderstanding.

After all, he is a young man, and it is easy for rumors to arise if he walks with a young girl.

Wang Shouzhi watched her go in, then turned around and walked back.

When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Zhengkang woke up and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Shouzhi handed the 150 yuan he had asked for to Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren returned the eighty yuan he had paid in advance to him.

Wang Shouzhi was not polite and asked him, "Brother, have you eaten?"

Wang Shouren did not answer directly, but turned to ask Zhengkang, "Are you hungry?"

Zhengkang nodded, and Wang Shouzhi left the ward.

It was already midnight, so naturally there was no place to buy food.

Wang Shouzhi returned to the dormitory of the Water Conservancy Bureau to cook.

He couldn't always eat in the canteen with his children, so he bought a coal stove and cooked his own meals.

However, he just came back from the countryside in the afternoon, so there were no fresh vegetables, only a few potatoes, sweet potatoes and rice.

This rice was left for him by his mother before she left, and he was asked to cook it for Xiaodie.

Children have weak spleen and stomach and are prone to illness. They need to be nourished.

Every time Wang Shouzhi came back, he would cook rice porridge for Xiaodie.

Thinking that Zhengkang had his head broken and should eat something good, he cooked an extra portion.

There were no steamed buns to sell now, so he cooked it into dry rice.

I fried a plate of shredded potatoes and steamed six sweet potatoes.

He and his elder brother each had three sweet potatoes with pickles, while Zhengkang and Xiaodie had rice with shredded potatoes.

Perfect!

After serving, he put it in an aluminum lunch box, packed it in a schoolbag and took it to the hospital.

After Wang Shouzhi left, Zhengkang chatted with Wang Shouren.

He had only one goal, which was to get his father's money.

"Dad, you still have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll keep the money for myself. I'll just spend some money to buy some food when the time comes."

Wang Shouren was a little hesitant. It was such a huge sum of money. What if Zhengkang lost it? But he really had to work and couldn't be here to take care of him.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back to the village tomorrow and ask your mother to come and take care of you."

Hearing this, Zhengkang shook his head and pouted his lips in displeasure, "Dad, will Mom take care of me? When have you ever seen her take care of me?"

Wang Shouren was stunned by his son's question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then let your grandma come. Your grandma loves you so much, she will definitely take good care of you."

Zhengkang sighed, "I asked grandma for two dollars this morning, but she didn't give it to me. She doesn't love me anymore."

Hearing this, Wang Shouren was immediately dissatisfied, "What nonsense! You are her eldest grandson, how could your grandma not love you!"

Zhengkang curled his lips and didn't want to argue with his father. He rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, you can't blame grandma for everything. Grandma is so old. If she knew that I was beaten and taken to the hospital, she would be scared to death. Do you have the heart to let her worry about me at such an old age? Dad, I don't want to be unfilial."

Wang Shouren, who was touched in the heart, hesitated a little. Thinking of how he almost fainted when he heard about Zhengkang's accident, his mother should be the same.

Wang Shouren thought about it and said, "Okay, I won't tell your grandma about this, so as not to scare her."

Zhengkang curled his lips and said, "Dad, you are right to think so."

In the end, Wang Shouren gave all the money to Zhengkang and only kept three dollars for himself.

He only kept five pounds of meal tickets and gave the rest to Zhengkang.

Zhengkang was ecstatic as he held the money in his hand. He had money to support his wife again.

The author has something to say: I have finished writing two chapters today. I will continue writing 10,000 words tomorrow. . .
