Chapter 247
Meng Xiaomi's home was not far from Meng Haisheng's home, and they arrived there soon.
Looking at the mud house in front of him, Meng Haisheng really didn't know what to say.
Meng Xiaomi's father was an alcoholic, and he probably spent all the money the family earned on buying alcohol.
Many years have passed, and the villagers have built brick houses one after another, but his home is still the old mud house.
The dark wooden door was not closed, and Meng Haisheng pushed the door open, and what caught his eye was the weeds all over the yard.
"Xiaomi, are you home?"
Meng Haisheng looked into the house through the window paper. The light inside was not good, and he couldn't see clearly whether there was anyone.
"Brother Haisheng, you are here, come in and sit down."
Hearing the noise, Meng Xiaomi came out to see Meng Haisheng with his hands still full of water.
"I heard that my aunt was injured, so I came to see how she is."
"Not very well, my mother has a fever."
In the room, Meng Xiaomi's mother Liu Xiang was lying on the kang, her hair was messy, her face was sallow, and there was even blood on her clothes.
There was a basin of water on the kang. Meng Xiaomi was using a wet towel to cool her down physically.
"Aunt?"
Meng Haisheng stepped forward and called softly, but Liu Xiang did not respond.
Touching her forehead again, he felt that it was burning hot.
"Xiaomi, carry Aunt to the hospital quickly. She is still at home with such a fever."
"I don't have any money."
Meng Xiaomi, a grown man, had red eyes.
"Didn't you also go to dig Bupleurum and catch ground beetles last year? Where is your money? You didn't save any?"
"My dad bought me wine and drank it all."
"You are such a fool. You know your dad is not a good man, why don't you hide some money."
"Hurry up and carry Aunt to the hospital. I will pay for the treatment first. Pay me back when you have money."
Meng Haisheng cursed, but still went to the kang to help Liu Xiang up and let Meng Xiaomi carry her.
Meng Xiaomi is such a soft-tempered person, always suppressed by Liu Xiang and his alcoholic father.
Meng Haisheng drove the tractor straight to the Chinese medicine hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor said after the examination that the injury on Liu Xiang's arm had not been treated and was seriously inflamed.
If she was not treated in time, her entire arm would be useless.
After completing the hospitalization procedures, Meng Xiaomi lowered her head and stood by, silently watching Liu Xiang hanging an IV.
"Xiaomi, you have to cheer up. Didn't you say last time that you would make money with me and build a new house for your mother?"
"What can you do if you are so depressed?"
Meng Xiaomi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his head, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Brother Haisheng, I remember everything. Now my father is in prison, and I am going to let my mother divorce. I will make money with you."
"Okay, you should have made up your mind to do this a long time ago."
Meng Haisheng took advantage of Liu Xiang's coma to go home, took a few clothes from Lin Mucheng, and came to Liu Xiang to make do with them first.
Her clothes were so dirty that they could not be worn.
When Meng Haisheng went back again, Liu Xiang had already woken up.
The mother and son were talking in the room, and Meng Haisheng paused for a moment.
"Xiaomi, I won't stay in the hospital. How much money will it cost? Mom won't stay. Let's go home quickly."
Liu Xiang urged Meng Xiaomi weakly, and that weak voice seemed to be dying at any time.
"Mom, don't get excited. The doctor said that the wound must be treated well this time, otherwise your arm may be useless."
"We didn't have stitches at the time. Now we have to clean the damaged meat inside and then sew it again, otherwise such a big wound will not heal well."
"If it gets infected, it will be a big trouble."
"But where do we have money."
"Brother Haisheng said he would lend it to me first, and I will pay him back when I make money from work."
"What can you do? You haven't even graduated from junior high school, and you don't know a few big characters. I can't let you go to his cram school to be a teacher."
Meng Xiaomi smiled bitterly. What is his mother thinking?
"I went to learn how to repair TVs with him. Brother Haisheng said he would pay me 35 yuan a month."
"Mom, as long as I work hard in the future, I will be able to save money to build a new house in a few years. You will move to the new house with me in the future, and you will no longer be afraid of my dad."
When it comes to Meng's father, Liu Xiang's face is obviously full of fear.
"Your father will not be released now."
"No, Mom, no matter what happens to my father in the future, you should divorce him."
Meng Xiaomi actually mentioned this to Liu Xiang several times, but Liu Xiang did not agree.
"Xiaomi, no one in our village has ever divorced. I don't want to be the first person to divorce and be pointed at by others."
"Besides, you can't live without your father. When you are talking about marriage in the future, people will find out that there are only us orphans and widows. People will not be willing to marry their daughters to you."
Liu Xiang's thoughts are still old-fashioned, but the times have long gone.It has changed without her knowing.
"Mom, if you don't divorce, will you go back and support my grandparents? You and my dad had a fight, and they did a lot of things to sow discord between us."
"As for my marriage, do you think people will marry me if they find out that I have an alcoholic father and a father who dares to kill people with a knife?"
"Mom, wake up. Only by leaving that family can we survive."
Meng Xiaomi became more and more excited. He was like this when he was young. His mother was afraid of this and that. She could only swallow the grievances she suffered. She never thought about herself.
She has never lived for herself for a day.
He wanted her to live for herself once, instead of relying on others humbly.
Meng Haisheng, standing at the door, could only sigh as he listened to the conversation between the mother and son in the ward.
There are still many women like Liu Xiang in rural areas.
Suffering domestic violence, but not daring to resist, and eventually burying their lives in this failed marriage.
The sound of the dispute in the room gradually died down.
Meng Haisheng then went in with the food for the two of them.
"Aunt, you are awake. I brought lunch for you and Xiaomi. You can eat something to fill your stomach first."
Liu Xiang saw Meng Haisheng coming, and his face was full of gratitude.
"Haisheng, thanks to you, I saved my life this time. I will let Xiaomi work hard to pay you back for the medical expenses you paid for me."
"Don't worry, Xiaomi and I are brothers, and it is my duty to help him when he is in trouble."
Meng Haisheng sat in the ward for a while and left. He still had to drive the tractor home.
"Brother Haisheng, when can I learn to repair TVs from you?"
"No hurry, wait until Auntie's wound is better, then you can come to the store."
"My mother will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow after changing the dressing and suturing the wound today, but she will live alone in the village, and I'm afraid she won't be able to leave for a while."
Meng Xiaomi was a little entangled, on the one hand, she was waiting for his job, and on the other hand, she needed to take care of her mother.
"Why don't you go back to the village, you and Daniu can live with my nursery class, there is an empty house there."
Meng Haisheng rented two houses in the textile factory yard at the beginning, and now Daniu and Lang Chunhua live in one, and Meng Xuan lives in another.
The other house has been empty, and it's just right for Meng Xiaomi and Liu Xiang to live there.
"Then I'll pay you the rent."
"Okay."
