527 The Child Is Severely Injured
Sister Jiang’s husband stood uneasily in the living room. He was always bullied by Sister Jiang at home and now, he still had to be wary of her mood when they were outside.
If not for the fact that Sister Jiang was good at doing business and made a lot of money, he would have left her long ago!
“Big brother? Sister Jiang has already left. You should also leave together with the child,” Chu Xin said with a smile.
She wanted to send the customers away quickly so that she could count the money in the bags. These two children had made her a lot of money because of their good looks and age!
The boy was sold for 25,000 dollars and the girl was sold for 20,000 dollars. These two children had made her 45,000 dollars, but the amount she told Zhang Qian earlier was 20,000 dollars less.
Sister Jiang’s husband took one last reluctant look at Chu Xin before leaving with the child.
Chu Xin hurriedly carried the two bags of money into the room and quickly took out 10,000 dollars from each bag. She could not let Zhang Qian know about this amount of money!
Zhang Qian sent off these “gods of fortune” downstairs with a smile. At this moment, he no longer had to worry about his daily expenses. In such a small county city, once he had more than 20,000 dollars, he would not even have to work for the rest of his life if he wished!
“Alright, you can go home. I’ll give you the money you ask for after I discuss it with Chu Xin. I won’t be going back tonight,” Zhang Qian said as he patted Zhang Cong’s shoulder.
Zhang Cong looked at Zhang Qian in disdain. He was not divorced from Li Gui yet and he was blatantly having an affair outside. If news of this got out, how could Zhang Cong and Sun Yan be able to hold their heads up in the future?
“Father… Why don’t you divorce Li Gui first before staying at this woman’s place? It’s not appropriate if others see this,” Zhang Cong said.
Zhang Qian gave Zhang Cong a hard kick and scolded him angrily, “Aren’t you so grown up now! How dare you talk bad about your father! Do I need to ask your permission to do whatever I want? Don’t forget who’s giving you that 1,000 dollars! It’s Chu Xin!”
Zhang Cong remained silent. As long as he took that money, Sun Yan and him would have enough money for their child’s birth and other expenses. Getting money from Old Madam Zhang would be way too difficult.
“Alright, you can go back.” Zhang Qian waved his hand and walked towards Chu Xin’s house.
Zhang Cong held his backside and limped back to his own home.
After the village clinic staff took in the unconscious Zhang Wei and the injured Zhang Miao, one of them ran to the fields to look for Li Gui.
Li Gui kept feeling like her work day was not going well today. First, she broke the hoe and then, she made a mistake with the grains. Her eyelids also kept twitching.
“Sister Li! Li Gui! Something happened! Something terrible happened!” the older woman from the clinic said as she hurriedly ran into the fields.
Li Gui quickly put down the hoe in her hand and ran over to grab onto the woman. She asked, “What’s wrong, sister? What happened?”
“Your… your Zhang Miao is injured and is now being treated at the clinic! Zhang Wei fainted from exhaustion after he carried Zhang Miao there on his back!” the woman said while panting.
“What!” Li Gui hurriedly ran in the direction of the clinic and shouted to Zhao Liang as she ran off, “Brother Zhao! I can’t work today! Something has happened to my children!”
Zhao Liang shouted in the direction that Li Gui had left in, “Go quickly!”
“Brother Zhao, what do you think happened to Li Gui’s children? How did they end up in the clinic?” a villager asked curiously.
Zhao Liang did not know the answer. Village clinics usually treated minor illnesses like headaches and colds. If any family had any issue that was more serious, they would go to the hospital in the county city. These were still not considered emergencies.
What could have happened to these two children? They were fine when everyone left for work, so how did they end up being sent to the clinic for treatment?
“Help Li Gui pack up her things! I have to go over there to take a look too in case it’s something major.” After saying that, Zhao Liang handed the tools in his hand to the others and ran to the clinic.
He had a say in everything that happened in the village. Even if it was a family going through some difficulties, he had to think of a way to solve the problems. Even if Li Gui was not a Foshan Village local and there were always people coming to cause trouble for her, given that she had moved in, she was considered a local villager and he had to help out with her issues.
“How is it! How are my children!” Li Gui grabbed a doctor and asked as soon as she entered.
“I’m guessing you’re the mother of Zhang Wei and Zhang Miao. Your Zhang Wei is fine, he’s just exhausted. However, your Zhang Miao’s situation is more dangerous. The child is very young and she has suffered a serious blow to her abdomen. It will take a while to get the detailed diagnosis. We’re doing our best to save her,” the doctor said.
