Skinny Monkey ran all the way back to Yin Xu's house. Although he ran fast, his steps were very steady. However, this also frightened Yin Xu's mother, Yang Yuelan. Yang Yuelan hurriedly greeted Yin Xu as soon as she saw him.
"Where did you go? Are you trying to kill me?! Skinny Monkey, why did you take Yin Xu out? His leg is broken and he needs to be fixed to recuperate. How can he move around like this … "
Yin Xu didn't wait for her to finish and interrupted her, "Mom, I asked Skinny Monkey to take me to the county to see a doctor."
As expected, Yang Yuelan immediately diverted her attention and said nervously, "What about a doctor? I've already borrowed a car from the brigade leader. When the car is free, I'll take you to the hospital. Your leg still needs to be hospitalized. "
Skinny Monkey didn't know how to answer, so he simply lowered his head and let his boss speak.
Yin Xu calmly said, "The doctor can't treat it and there are no more beds. He told me to go see him at a later time."
Yang Yuelan wiped her tears and hurriedly reached out to help Yin Xu. "Skinny Monkey, quickly put your Brother Xu on the kang bed. What a sin. He's such a good gambler, but he became like this after a trip to the mountains. What about his leg? That Old Chu's family is too despicable. How old are they? They didn't send anything, nor did they come to see him. They didn't even say a word of concern. In any case, we're trying to save Old Chu. "
Skinny Monkey placed Yin Xu firmly on the kang bed and helped him take off his shoes. He echoed, "Old Chu's family is despicable. Auntie, Brother Xu has me. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of Brother Xu. If you need anything, just call me. Although I'm skinny, I used to be a soldier like Brother Xu. I'm very strong. "
Yang Yuelan frowned. "Why do I need you to be strong now? I just want Yin Xu to be cured. Otherwise, won't my life be over? " As she spoke, she poured water for Yin Xu and Skinny Monkey. She asked, "You didn't eat in town, right? I'll go cook. "
After Yang Yuelan left, Skinny Monkey wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You scared me to death. Brother Xu, don't make me do these kinds of sneaky things in the future. Your leg is still injured, so you really can't take it. Furthermore, only Auntie has a good temper. If it were my mother, her temper would have flared up already. "
Yin Xu leaned against the wall and reached out to touch his leg. After a moment of silence, he said, "This leg is difficult to treat. I think it can only be treated in the capital. I don't have enough money now, so I can't go there."
The skinny monkey was dumbfounded. "Then what should we do? How about … how about I go to the back of the mountain again and see if I can dig up anything good? "
Skinny Monkey put down his bowl and was about to leave when Yin Xu stopped him. He waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a limp? How can it delay me? At most, I'll walk with a little limp in the future. I can still fight ten people. Don't think about it blindly. First, sell all the things we've hidden away. Ask your old customers to do it. Don't be rash. Although the management is not strict now and the situation is good, we can't guarantee that there will be people who want to take advantage of us and use us as an example. If we get caught, we won't have a chance. We must keep a low profile. Remember, making money is secondary. Safety comes first. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Xu, don't worry. I'll do it now. I'll try my best to treat your leg when I get the money." Skinny Monkey was really worried about Yin Xu's leg. After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
Yang Yuelan chased after him and shouted twice. She went back into the house and talked to Yin Xu. "This skinny monkey. The more I call, the more he runs. Why don't you ask him to stay for dinner? Cough, cough … "
"Mom, he has something to do. We can just eat. Don't make too much. Make something simple. I'll be better in a few days. You won't have to work so hard. "Yin Xu heard his mother cough. Although his expression did not change, his eyes were full of worry.
Yang Yuelan sighed when she heard this. "My body is useless. I drink medicine and waste the family's money. Now, you don't even have money to treat your leg. The Chu family won't do anything either. They can at least help. Previously, the old madam of the Chu family wanted to arrange a marriage between the two families. Now, there's no news. Your leg … If it can't be treated, how will you get a wife in the future? "
"Mom, don't worry about this. I know what to do."
"What do you know? How can I not be worried?" Yang Yuelan did not want her son to see her cry, but she could not help it. She lowered her head and kept wiping her tears. "I spend money on medicine. Your sister also needs money to go to school. This time, you might use up all the family's money to treat your leg. How will you get a wife? No one will be willing to marry you. If something happens to me, who will take care of you … "
"Mom …" Yin Xu felt helpless and a little distressed. He really did not care. Saving people was his decision. If his leg was broken, so be it. Wasn't it just a limp? It really did not affect him. As for getting a wife, finding someone to take care of him, and earning money, he had never worried about it. However, his mother was too bold. He could not sell things outside with her. Otherwise, Yang Yuelan might not even be able to sleep.
Yang Yuelan thought about it and was still unwilling to give up. She held Yin Xu's hand. "Son, I have to go to the Chu family to look for them. Chu Lan has already recovered. She's going to marry me at the end of the year. They can't go back on their word now. This, this is what the Chu family owes us. " She patted Yin Xu's hand to stop him from speaking. She continued, "Listen to me. Chu Lan is a virgin. She's pretty and has studied. She doesn't have a younger brother at home to help her. She's a good match. If you miss this opportunity, think about what kind of person you can find. You might only be able to find a poor widow. Why should you be wronged? The Chu family must give me an explanation. "
Yang Yuelan had a gentle and kind personality. She had never said such things. Yin Xu could see that she was uneasy even when she was speaking. She was not so righteous, but she was indeed a kind mother. She was thinking about him. He thought about the matter between Chu Lan and Song Yang. He guessed that the Chu family would deny this marriage. Anyway, it was just a verbal agreement. It could not be counted. It would be useless to look for them. He patiently persuaded, "No matter who you find, she has to be willing to marry you. Otherwise, even if the Chu family gave us an explanation to let Chu Lan marry you, she will make a mess of our family if she is unwilling. Mom, don't you think so?"
Yang Yuelan was stunned. She frowned. "What should I do? No, I have to ask first. "
Yang Yuelan got up and left. Suddenly, she remembered that the kitchen was still cooking. She hurriedly ran into the kitchen and prepared a bowl of rice for Yin Xu to eat. She couldn't wait for a moment. She went straight to the Chu family.
The Chu family was in a bad mood at the moment. Chu Xiang pretended to be unconscious in the room and leisurely ate the food in the space. She let the Heaven and Earth Mirror wander around as her eyes and ears. When the Heaven and Earth Mirror turned to the gate, she saw the pale Yang Yuelan.
Grandma Chu welcomed Yang Yuelan into the yard with an awkward smile on her face. She hurriedly asked Chu Lan's mother to pour some water and asked Yang Yuelan to sit down.
Yang Yuelan first asked about Grandpa Chu's health politely. After learning that he was fine, she sighed about how serious Yin Xu's injury was and how torturous his life was.
Chu Lan's mother hid in the kitchen after serving the water and did not show up. She left Grandma Chu and Li Yuezhen to greet the guests. It was obvious that she did not want to have anything to do with Yang Yuelan. This was not the attitude of one's in-laws. Yang Yuelan's heart suddenly turned cold.
Grandma Chu and her talked about all kinds of things, but didn't mention the marriage between the two families. Yang Yuelan's expression became more and more anxious and ugly. Chu Xiang took a bag of melon seeds and ate them while watching the show. She mainly wanted to see how shameless the Chu family was.
After a while, Chu Lan came back happily from outside.
Yang Yuelan's expression was obviously better. She took the initiative to smile and said, "Chu Lan, you're back?" Then she saw the rabbit in her hand and said in surprise, "Why are you carrying a rabbit? Did you catch it? "
Chu Lan was not embarrassed in front of her. She smiled graciously and said, "Yes, I was lucky. When I was coming back after digging up the wild vegetables, this rabbit bumped into my shoe and was stunned. I caught it just in time and it's still alive."
Chu Lan had no intention of giving it to her. She strode into the yard and shouted, "Mom, you should lock this rabbit up. If you don't eat it, you can keep it."
Yang Yuelan knew that Chu Lan had taken a fancy to Yin Xu. She thought that no matter what the Chu family's attitude was, Chu Lan should at least feel sorry for Yin Xu, right? However, Chu Lan didn't ask about Yin Xu's injury at all. She didn't even think about giving the rabbit to Yin Xu to nourish his body. She was even smiling. She didn't know why she was so happy. It was too disappointing.
Yang Yuelan instantly thought of Yin Xu's words. If she married someone who was unwilling to marry, would she treat Yin Xu well? If she really made a mess at home, how were they going to live?
However, marrying a wife was a big deal. Chu Lan's conditions were the best for Yin Xu now. Yang Yuelan took a deep breath and said, "Aunt Chu, you know that my body is weak and I can't do much work. It's also difficult to take care of people. With Yin Xu's current condition, it will take a few months for him to recover. There's no one to take care of him. Previously, you and I discussed letting Chu Lan marry at the end of the year. I thought that it would be better to hold the wedding in advance so that the two of them can be together and take care of each other. What do you think? "
Chu Lan went into the kitchen and said to her mother, "My grandma is very prideful. She might agree. Mom, quickly go out. You can't let me marry anyone. I'm going to marry to the provincial capital."
Chu Lan's mother was of one mind. She immediately nodded, stuffed the rabbit into the rabbit cage, and walked out with a smile.
"What's going on? I'm also listening. I was packing up just now and didn't have a good chat with Sister-in-law. Is it okay for you to talk here? Can Yin Xu be fine at home by himself? "
Yang Yuelan nodded politely and smiled. "It's fine now. I'm here to talk about business. I can't delay. By the way, I'm talking to Aunt about Yin Xu and Chu Lan's marriage … "
"Ah? What marriage? Why don't I know about it? " Chu Lan's mother widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Grandma Chu sternly. "Mom, you … what did you and Sister-in-law do to have such a big misunderstanding? Our Chu Lan is going to take the university entrance exam. She woke up early and worked late to revise. What kind of person is she marrying? "
Yang Yuelan stopped smiling and looked at them coldly. Grandma Chu was very prideful. Now that she had lost her face, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't say anything. "This, this, I also … I …"
Yang Yuelan said coldly, "Is your family planning to go back on their words? Why did my son break his leg? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares? Who was the one who suggested the marriage? Is this a misunderstanding with me? Why don't you ask the brigade leader to judge? Don't make it seem like I'm fawning over your Chu family. "
"Don't, don't, don't. Yuelan, why are you so anxious?" Grandma Chu grabbed Yang Yuelan and blurted out, "You've really misunderstood. I was talking about Chu Xiang."
