Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 225 The Weak Girl of the Age 32

Seeing that Shen Pengzu kept agreeing with her, Niu Ru kept putting all the blame on Shen Pengzu.

Just like a fly buzzing in Shen Pengzu's ear

Shen Pengzu endured it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped her directly: "Your son is still in there to treat his leg, aren't you worried at all? If you hadn't pushed me, how could your son have injured his leg again? You are such a lazy, greedy, and vicious woman!!!"

Hearing Shen Pengzu say this about himself, Niu Ru was stunned on the spot. After reacting, he squatted down, covered his face and broke down crying.

Shen Pengzu was upset and simply stood up and went outside the hospital to smoke a pipe.

After finishing his pipe of dry tobacco, Shen Pengzu calmed down a lot.

Thinking that Niu Ru would have to support the family after he left, he walked over to Niu Ru and helped him up: "I'm sorry, I feel bad about my son's injury, so I said something harsh, please don't take it to heart"

Niu Ru turned her head away and ignored Shen Pengzu. She had worked hard for this family for half her life, but in the end she was known as lazy, greedy, and vicious. She knew that she was greedy for money, but if she hadn't held on to the money tightly, how could the family have saved the 800 yuan?

Shen Pengzu said some nice things, but when Niu Ru still ignored her, she stopped talking and sat quietly on the bench, watching the operating room.

After waiting for about 2 hours, the doctor finally came out of the operating room.

Shen Pengzu hurried forward and said, "Doctor, how is my son?"

The doctor sighed and said, "The bone itself hasn't grown back yet, and now it's broken. It will be difficult for it to recover to its normal state in the future."

When Shen Pengzu heard the news, he retreated again and again. If he couldn't be like a normal person, then he would be useless.

Thinking of this, Shen Pengzu suddenly looked ten years older, and kept muttering, "No, no, you must not have done a good job. I want to go to another hospital."

When the doctor heard that Shen Pengzu doubted his medical skills, his face suddenly darkened, and he was too lazy to say anything to Shen Pengzu.

He waved his hand and said, "Since you don't believe in my medical skills, then take the patient to another hospital! By the way, remember to pay the medical bills."

I just got back 200 yuan from Sheng Qizheng, and after paying the medical bills, I only have 60 yuan left.

Shen Pengzu looked at the money in his hand and felt a little worried. He was going to the farm soon. Life there must be very hard. If he had some money to manage it, it would be easier.

But my son's legs...

Shen Pengzu was very determined. He didn't have enough money to take his son to a big hospital to treat his leg. He decided to give it to him first so that he could have a good two years of life on the farm.

When I come back from the farm, I will find a way to earn money to treat my son's legs!!!

Shen Pengzu looked at Niu Ru. If she hadn't been so eager to show off, the Gu family wouldn't have been so determined to cancel the engagement.

Otherwise, we can ask the Gu family to help us out with money...

After Shen Bowen woke up from anesthesia, he learned that he would never be able to walk like a normal person again, and he broke down and cried.

Shen Pengzu wanted to keep the money for the farm, so he didn't have any extra money to pay for Shen Bowen's medical expenses.

After Shen Bowen finished the infusion, he went straight to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures.

The nurse kindly reminded: "Comrade, Comrade Shen Bowen just had an operation. It is best for him to stay in the hospital for three days to observe the postoperative condition to avoid infection."

"My family is broke and can't afford to stay in the hospital. If you pay for us, we will stay there."

The nurse rolled her eyes. She was just asking kindly, why is this person so shameless?

The nurse quickly completed the discharge procedures for Shen Bowen, and when dawn came, Shen Pengzu carried Shen Bowen out of the hospital.

After the anesthetic wore off, Shen Bowen felt pain in his legs. He was tortured by the pain until dawn before he fell asleep.

At this moment, he lay on Shen Pengzu's back with a confused look on his face: "Dad, where are we going?"

Shen Pengzu paused, feeling guilty: "Son, let's go home!"

"Dad, my leg still hurts..."

Shen Pengzu's voice was a little choked: "Son... our family really has no money..."

Shen Bowen obviously didn't believe this: "Dad, didn't Sheng Qizheng pay us back 200 yuan? How come he has no money?"

Niu Ru exploded immediately after hearing this, and punched Shen Pengzu hard: "Shen Pengzu, you have money but you don't treat your son. In your heart, your son is not as important as money, right?"

Shen Pengzu glared at Niu Ru: "What do you know!"

"You said I was vicious, but I think you are the vicious one. You acted so worried about your son outside the operating room, but once you mentioned money, you didn't worry about your son anymore. My poor son!!!"

There were already quite a few people on the road. When they heard Niu Ru's cry, they stopped and looked over here curiously.

Shen Pengzu felt so embarrassed that he just wanted to cover Niu Ru's mouth and stop her from howling.

In his haste, he forgot that Shen Bowen was on his back, and when his hands loosened, Shen Bowen fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Shen Bowen reacted quickly and supported himself on the ground, thus avoiding further injury to his leg that had just undergone surgery.

Seeing his son fall, Shen Pengzu hurried to help him. Just as he loosened his hand covering Niu Ru's mouth, Niu Ru's crying came again.

Shen Pengzu wanted to help his son and cover Niu Ru's mouth. He wished he could grow a few more pairs of arms.

At this moment, Shen Pengzu was really in a dilemma.

Seeing that more and more people were watching, Shen Pengzu stopped paying attention to Niu Ru and let her howl if she wanted to.

Shen Pengzu bent down and carried Shen Bowen back on his back with difficulty.

Without calling Niu Ru, he carried his son on his back and walked to the big banyan tree of the commune.

Wait for Mr. Bai's ox cart to arrive, then take the ox cart back to the team.

Niu Ru howled for a while, and then seeing that Shen Pengzu really didn't care about her anymore, she wiped her tears dejectedly, lowered her head and hurried towards the entrance of the commune.

When he ran to the big banyan tree in the commune, he saw Shen Pengzu and Shen Bowen sitting on a rock under the tree. He immediately complained, "Why did you leave without telling me? Where is the 200 yuan that Sheng Qizheng returned?"

"Didn't I tell you that I've paid for my son's medical expenses?"

"How can I spend 200? There must be some left. Hurry up and hand it over. This family is getting poorer the more you manage the money." He even picked Shen Pengzu's pocket.

Shen Pengzu shook off Niu Ru's hand and glared at him fiercely: "I said no, then it's gone!!!"

Niu Ru was frightened by that look and dared not make any more noise. He sat quietly on a stone nearby.

When Shen Pengzu and the other two returned to the team in a bullock cart,

I happened to see several police officers also arrived at the brigade.

The police saw Shen Pengzu sitting on the ox cart and thought that Shen Pengzu was going to escape. They approached the ox cart with a bad look and surrounded it: "Shen Pengzu, where are you going?"

Shen Pengzu quickly explained in a low voice: "Comrade Public Security, my son injured his leg last night, and we just came back from the hospital. I... I didn't intend to run away."

The police officer snorted twice and said, "You better not be planning on running away. Go back and get your luggage! Don't waste our time."

Niu Ruzu looked at Shen Pengzu, then at Gong'an, feeling increasingly uneasy. He grabbed Shen Pengzu's arm tightly and asked, "Shen Pengzu, what happened? Why are you packing your luggage? Why are you leaving?!"
