Chapter 676: Things about Chen Shous family(1/2)
Tuoba Yu obediently drank the medicine, closed his eyes and rested.
Xi Yu sat aside, guarding her quietly, praying in her heart that she could recover soon.
Tuoba Yu's breathing gradually stabilized, and Xi Yu looked at her quiet sleeping face, and her thoughts drifted away.
Looking back on the little things they have met since they met, the laughter and tears seemed to be yesterday.
I don’t know how long it took, Tuoba Yu moved his eyelashes slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing that Xi Yu was still standing beside her, a warm current surged in her heart.
"You've been here all the time?" Tuoba Yu's voice was still a little weak.
Xi Yu smiled and nodded, "As long as you can get better, it doesn't matter what I do."
Tuoba Yu's eyes were slightly red.
"I will definitely get better with you."
There is a Chenjia Village nearby, where Chen Shou lives.
On that day, Chen Shou went to chop wood. After returning home, he saw several vicious men at home.
They insulted their father and asked them to pay back the money quickly. Chen Shou's father, Dad Chen, looked sad and said with trembling hands: "My uncles, let's give you a few more days. I really can't make up so much money."
The man with a fat face in the lead stared at his eyes and shouted viciously: "Gratitude? Humph, I have given you enough time! If you can't pay it back today, don't blame us for being polite!"
Seeing this, Chen Shou rose from his heart, threw the firewood on the ground, strode into the house, shouting: "What are you doing? Say something well!"
One of the thin men tilted his mouth, glanced at Chen Shou sideways, and laughed: "Oh, this kid is quite good. Your family owes money, is there any reason?"
Chen Shou clenched his fists, looked at them firmly, and said, "We will definitely pay back the money owed, but please don't bully people like this!"
The man with a fat face stepped forward, pointed his finger at Chen Shou's nose, and shouted: "Stupid brat, don't show off here! If you don't pay back the money, you're good-looking!"
Chen Shou did not retreat and gritted his teeth and said, "We will find a way to do money, but if you are so rude, I will definitely not give up!"
At this time, Mr. Chen pulled the corner of Chen Shou's clothes, his eyes full of helplessness and guilt: "Shou'er, don't be impulsive, it's my dad that I'm sorry for you."
Chen Shou looked at his father's sad face and felt a little sad, but his eyes were still firmly speaking to the men: "Give us some time and we will definitely pay back the money!"
The men looked at each other and snorted in the leader: "Okay, then I'll give you another three days. If you can't pay it back then, it's not that simple!" After that, he took the others away.
Chen Shou looked at their departure backs and secretly vowed to collect all the money as soon as possible so that his family could live a stable life.
After a while, Chen Shou started to cry and said that they were all rogues.
Father Chen sighed and remembered what happened back then.
Chen Shou wiped his tears and said sucking, "Dad, it's too much for them to bully people like this!" His face was full of anger and grievance, and his brows were frowning.
Chen's father sighed heavily, with regret and helplessness in his eyes, and he slowly said, "Shou'er, it's all my fault. If it weren't for treating you, he wouldn't have owed this debt." His eyes were dim and his hands were trembling unconsciously.
Chen Shou looked at his father and said firmly: "Dad, it's not your fault, you are trying to save me."
After a while, Chen Shou started to cry and said, "They are all rogues!"
Chen's father sighed, his eyes became distant, and he fell into memories.
Chen Shou was seriously ill at that time, and Chen's father had no money to find a doctor, so he was anxious.
So I asked those scoundrels to borrow money. At that time, the scoundrel issued an IOU and asked Chen's father to put his handprints on his hand to borrow it, otherwise he would not borrow it.
Chen's father was illiterate and had no idea that the amount above had changed, so he pressed his handprint in a daze.
As Chen's father thought about it, he couldn't help but burst into tears and was full of regret.
Chen Shou looked at his father's sad look and his anger became stronger and stronger.
He secretly vowed that he would give these rogues the punishment they deserve.
Xi Yu was still by Tuoba Yu's side. That night, Tuoba Yu finally got better.
Tuoba Yu's face was still a little pale. She raised her head slightly, her eyes were filled with guilt, and she said softly: "It's all my fault, I've delayed your affairs."
Xi Yu quickly held her hand, frowned slightly, and said with a look of care: "How can you say that? It is more important than anything else to be able to get better quickly."
Tuoba Yu bit her lip, her eyes filled with anxiety: "But, this way."
Xi Yu interrupted her and comforted her with a smile: "Besides, the specific destination is close, it's not a short time before. Don't think about it all, and be at ease to recover."
Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu's firm eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He nodded gently: "Well, thank you."
Xi Yu reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead and said gently: "What else do you want to say thank you to me?"
A hint of blush appeared on Tuoba Yu's face. She lowered her eyes and whispered: "When I get better, I will definitely not cause trouble for you."
Xi Yu shook his head gently, his eyes full of affection: "You have never been a trouble, I am willing to take care of you."
Tuoba Yu raised his head, tears flashed in his eyes, and said with emotion: "It is my greatest luck to meet you in my life."
Xi Yu raised his lips and showed a warm smile: "So too, I believe we will get better in the future."
At this time, the moonlight outside the window shone in, reflecting the hopeful faces of the two.
After a while, Tuoba Yu's eyelids began to fight, and she looked a little sleepy.
Xi Yu whispered: "Sleep, have a good rest, tomorrow will be better."
Tuoba Yu closed his eyes obediently and soon fell asleep.
Xi Yu looked at her quiet sleeping face, sighed softly, and prayed in her heart that she could recover completely as soon as possible.
The next morning, Tuoba Yu got very well.
The sun shines through the window on her face, reflecting her rosy complexion.
Xi Yu walked into the room lightly and saw Tuoba Yu sitting up, his eyes full of joy: "It's so good to see you in such spirit."
Tuoba Yu responded with a smile: "Thanks to you."
Xi Yu walked up to her with expectation in her eyes: "The scenery outside is just right, I hope to take you out for a walk and have some fun."
Tuoba Yu agreed without hesitation, with an excited light flashing in his eyes: "That would be better."
The two of them packed up and walked out of the room.
The breeze blew outside, with a faint fragrance of flowers.
Xi Yu carefully sorted out Tuoba Yu's hair that was blown by the wind. Tuoba Yu raised his head slightly, and his face was filled with a happy smile.
They strolled on the country road, with wild flowers on the roadside colorful and butterflies dancing among the flowers.
Tuoba Yu chased the butterfly like a child, while Xi Yu looked at her quietly, her eyes full of doting.
Walking to a small stream, Tuoba Yu squatted down and gently fiddled with the stream with his hands. Xi Yu also squatted down, and the figures of the two intertwined in the water.
"It's so beautiful here." Tuoba Yu sighed.
After a while of travel, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu rode a horse to Chenjia Village.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xi Yu asked several people about Chen Shou's home.
An old man leaned on a crutch, looked at them with his eyes squinted, and said slowly: "Chen Shou family? Walk along this main road and saw a big willow tree, and the house next to him was."
Xi Yu bowed and thanked: "Thank you, old man."
A young village woman next to her interrupted, "What are you looking for Chen Shou? His family has not been peaceful recently." There was a bit of curiosity and worry in her eyes.
Tuoba Yu smiled and explained: "We are Chen Shou's old acquaintances. After hearing about his recent situation, we came to visit him."
The village woman nodded: "Oh, that's it, then you guys go quickly."
After Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu thanked each other again, they rode their horses along the main road. Soon after, they saw the big willow tree. A family under the shade of willows must be Chen Shou's residence.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu got off the horse and came to Chen Shou's house. After knocking on the door, it was Chen's father who came out to answer the door.
Chen's father looked at them with a puzzled look and asked, "What are you?"
Xi Yu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Old man, we heard that Chen Shou is here, so we are here to visit."
A trace of loss flashed across Chen's father's face, and he sighed and said, "He is not at home."
Tuoba Yu asked with concern: "Where has Brother Chen Shou been?"
Chen's father said sadly: "Oh, it's not just because of the debts owed by the family, I'm going out to find a way to raise money."
Xi Yu frowned and asked, "I owe debt? What's going on?"
Chen's father shook his head helplessly and told them the whole story. After saying that, he sighed again.
Tuoba Yu said angrily: "These rogues are too much!"
Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Old man, don't worry too much, we will find a way to help Brother Chen Shou."
Chen's father looked at them gratefully, with tears in his eyes: "That's so thank you."
Just then, a noise came from outside the door
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu looked at each other, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
Chen's father's face changed and he said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid those scoundrels are coming to cause trouble again."
Xi Yu comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid of me, let's go out and have a look."
