Paternity

Chapter 71

"How could you be hurt so badly!"

While out during the day, Su Youtian thought the second child had just been exposed to rain and caught wind and cold, the bruised and swollen calf might be useless.

At this moment, where he still remembered his previous dissatisfaction towards his own brother, all he could do was worry.

Su Youtian knew that the only use of the second child in this family was to work. If her legs were paralyzed, the old woman would definitely try her hardest to drive away the second child, and their father, now he has a bachelor son. , no matter the life and death of the boys born to their two former daughters-in-law, especially the second child, had no sense of existence, and there was only one daughter below her knees, she said, li's attitude was a little more harsh, and his father would not confront Li for the sake of this son. .

"Everything is like this, you don't say a word, second child, second child!"

Su Youtian's face was deathly pale, and he hated this cowardly and honest brother.

"You wait, I'll call Dad."

He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, after all he was his own father, how could he see his own son being deformed?

Saying that, Su Youtian could not bear to see the injured second child's leg, clenched his fists and stormed out of the second room's room.

Ever since Su Youtian entered the room, Su Aobai had been observing all of his subtle expressions and movements This big brother seemed to be different from the impression left by the memory of his original body.

"dad!"

Su Youtian held back his anger and ran into the courtyard, and shouted at his father, who was drinking the hot soup the old woman gave him, in a patient tone.

"Let's see the second child, his leg was injured while repairing the roof tile yesterday, and he looks unwell now."

With that said, Su Youtian could not help but glance at his stepmother from the corner of her eyes.

Does the other party know about the second child injury?

Perhaps due to the pause for many years, Su Youtian inevitably used his darkest thoughts to speculate about Li's behavior.When they went to work in the field in the morning, it was impossible to use his darkest thoughts to speculate about Li's behavior, there are only a few girls and Li at home. ., Madam Li said that she would pluck some herbs for the second brother to make medicinal soup.Did Madam Li not see the injured second child's leg?

Su Youtian felt that if the treatment was timely enough then, the second child's leg would not be what it is now, could it be that the old woman saw that her son had passed the examination as a scholar, and feeling that his family no longer needed a second child who could only work for Scalper, wanted to take the opportunity to split a second child?

Does this mean their oldest house will soon become too big for the old lady?

Many thoughts flashed through Su Youtian's mind, he had to make plans for his little family early, he was actually waiting for the old woman to make a move, and everything would be passive.

"Did your leg hurt?"

Su Kuishan looked at his daughter-in-law beside him in surprise.

"Did a second brother hurt his leg? I don't know. He was dazed by the fever. I worked very hard to gather herbs from the mountains and boiled medicinal soup for him, but he spewed them all out. I saw him wake up.” , I thought his fever had subsided, so I was busy preparing lunch for you, what about a foot injury? bodies."

Madame Li frowned, looking at her boss's face, the second brother's injuries seemed to be rather serious, even on her feet, wouldn't she be paralyzed in the future, right?

The elderly couple and others in the courtyard rushed to the second bedroom.

As soon as they entered the room, both Su Kuishan and Li Shi were shocked by Su Aobai's black and purple leg wounds being exposed to the air, which was much more serious than they had imagined.

"Boss, go and invite Doctor Li!"

This time, Su Kuishan's attitude was much harsher, Su Youtian did not wait for his stepmother to stop him, and immediately ran out of the courtyard after answering.

Madam Li opened her mouth, but seeing the old man's tense face, she finally pulled back the obstructing words.

The second child injury was rather serious, if I forcefully stopped me from asking the doctor, I was worried that my husband would make an opening for me, after all, the half-dead man in the kang was the old man's own son .

"Second brother, why didn't you tell me about the injury to your leg last night!"

Madam Su Li chose to attack first, but not her evil stepmother and did not let her see the doctor, who dragged her wound down like this.

"I…"

Su Aobai's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes dodged with cowardice, his lips moved slightly, and he was like an angry real image.

"When I was sick... Mother.I dare not say it."

He said faintly, clearly he did not explain anything clearly, but he said everything.

In the past, no matter who was sick between her and her daughter and the second mother, the old woman would answer for herself, holding her back for a while, the ones in the countryside did not survive like this, she said, and even asked the doctor, bah, what kind of golden noble he thought he was.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I waited until the work was done, went to the mountain to pick some herbs and came back to cook some medicinal soup, poured a bowl of sweat, and the illness would heal.

Yuanshen did not know how to do farm work from the start, since the year he went to the fields, he also injured himself because he was not used to using those farming tools. When my leg was injured, I didn't even think to tell my parents that I would bear it, and maybe the wound would heal when I woke up the next day.

The people in the room looked at each other when they heard those words.

Su Youtian's daughter-in-law, Zhang Meihua stood behind the crowd arrogantly, staring at the back of the old woman's head, eager to see her current expression.

As he had expected, the old woman's face was distorted by the current fury.

Did the second child secretly accuse him?

But come to think of it, the second child is always honest and has no such brain.

But Ms. Li was still furious, feeling his authority had been challenged.

"Second brother, you misunderstood mother's intentions. You used to suffer minor injuries, and the family's money was still limited to the fourth child studying. Everyone tightens their belts for life. Spending money, you can save as much as you can, but you It's not a minor injury right now, no matter how much money a fourth child needs to learn, he won't be able to save money on this matter."

The one speaking was the youngest, Suyouliang, who was also Fubao's biological father.

As the father of the fortune bag, Su Youliang's appearance was naturally ugly. Compared to the villagers, her skin was brighter, and her eyebrows and eyes showed the same shrewdness as Li.

From the very beginning, Su Aobai had never underestimated the lazy and greedy third brother in Yuan's mind, and as expected, the head of the family, Su Kuishan's expression was greatly relaxed once the other party spoke.

Indeed, even though his wife's treatment of the first and second children was not as good as the two children he was born with, but which woman did not love her own child?Li Shi was indeed somewhat shrewd, but it was definitely not meaningful enough to watch the second child become disabled.

Perhaps Su Kuishan's heart was biased towards his step-wife, so Su Youliang made a decent excuse for Ms. Li, and Su Kuishan trusted him.

"It's my fault, I thought, I thought my mother would let me suffer like I used to, so I didn't dare talk about my leg injury... It's because I'm shy, because I'm afraid my mom will scold me for being clumsy. , and I can fix the roof tile on a rainy day my legs are broken..."

Su Aobai's ears moved, and when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, he immediately wrinkled his face, and admitted his mistake with a bitter expression and tone of voice.

Currently, Dr. Li and Su Youtian had just walked to the door, and heard Su Aobai's self-deprecation.

The nearly 60-year-old doctor looked at the second child surrounded by Li Shi and the others on top of the kang, this man who had become a father really looked like a child, showing a crying expression or not.

Obviously second child Su was the tallest in the room, but in this situation, he was as pitiful and helpless as the little white rabbit that was targeted by a bunch of wolves and vultures.

Anyway, Dr. Li felt pity for Su Lao Er in an instant.

He was the only doctor in the village, he was busy looking for herbs and processing them on weekdays, he rarely contacted the villagers, but even so, he was busy looking for herbs, he had heard many rumors about the adoptive family of his old wife.

For example, old man Su was eccentric, and the woman he married was then cruel and harassed the two previous sons, especially second son Su, who was only the second old scalper of the Su family.

No, not even as good as that old scalper.

As one of the most important riches in the family, the old scalper eats the best forage. Sometimes, when farming is busy, this big baby is afraid of getting tired. After a few days of work, he had to let her rest for a day, whereas for the second child there was almost no free time, back then the food was not as good as the most lazy Su Laosan.

It turned out that Su's second child was always sick himself. His leg was broken while repairing the roof of the house in heavy rain. How do you treat this stepdaughter?

Apparently Ms. Li was much more sinister and cruel than the rumors outside.

Li was not a gossipy person, but his old wife was the eighth-largest wife in the village. He doesn't like to gossip. That doesn't mean that when he lies on a kang at night, he won't tell his wife what he sees when he goes to the doctor. The old man I probably did not know that most of the news circulating in this village within ten miles and eight nearby towns was first delivered from his mouth to the mouth of the old wife, who was, then further processed and spread.

"Doctor Li is here!"

Su Youtian dragged Dr. The wise li.

"Doctor Li, quickly show my second child if there's a cure for this leg!"

Su Youtian pointed to his younger brother's right leg, and gasped, why did he feel his younger brother's leg injury become more serious after he left?

Dr. Li's expression was equally dignified. He opened his medicine box and took out a thin silver needle from it and thrust it into the lower end of his right calf. The part where the needle penetrates into the body also turns black.

"You're poisoned!"

Li looked at the bruised and swollen calf. The scar from yesterday's lump was festering and purulent. If this is the case, use a knife to remove the carcass and then apply wound medicine to wait for the wound to heal. As long as it does not fester anymore, it is generally fine Yes, but in addition to ulcer wounds, toxicity is also detected.

And perhaps because the wound had been closed for too long, the meat on his calf looked necrotic. He had just tried to pinch his wound, but Su Er Er did not respond at all, and she did not even feel the pain of Dr. Li also thought There was no cure.

"Toxing!"

Everyone in the room showed a surprised expression.

"impossible."

Su Aobai's eyes grew even more shocked.

"Last night I only ate a bowl of porridge and some pickles. My family ate this food. From last night until now, I haven't eaten anything, not even a bowl of water."

With a nervous tremble, he counted the food he had eaten from last night until now with his finger.

Doctor Li looked at Su Kuishan and Su Li in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Su You Niu was the hardest worker in the Su family, wasn't it During the busy agricultural season, his dinner was just a bowl of porridge?

Now that it was noon, Su Laoer was sick, and he did not even drink his saliva, Lao Papi did not dare to order his long-term workers like that.

Suddenly Su Aobai seemed to think of something, but soon she shook her head again with a very sincere expression.

"No, I also drank the medicinal soup made by my mother, but my mother would not poison me."

Of course it was not the poison Li Shi had given. In fact, everyone's body will store some toxins more or less. The so-called marrow wash was to remove all the toxins attached to the body, and Su Aobai only concentrated these residual toxins in the body. At the same time, he also left a portion of it in his stomach. During Dr. Li felt his pulse, he could also diagnose a poisoning reaction.

Sure enough, after Dr. Li checked his pulse, inevitably he turned his gaze to Ny. Li's.

It was true that he ate something that he should not have eaten, although he did not know why a lot of poison had accumulated in his legs.

"Don't look at my mother, it's definitely not my mother who poisoned me!"

Su Aobai excitedly defended her stepmother, and as she continued to explain, everyone's eyes were on Li Shi.

This was also the experience Su Aobai had gained from his previous life.

In a certain world, she has a fiancee who is married from the porridge of her little finger, she has a weak and sensitive personality, she has a, The careless Su Aobai would always inadvertently touch his marijuana fields and make him cry.

After the appearance of the man of destiny, the fiancee who was the heroine naturally saw each other with the son of destiny There was no gap between Su Aobai and the son of destiny, but because of this, it was because of this, he would cry at every opportunity, and continue to support her in front of the heroine.Explaining that he did not hurt or bully her, he managed to make the Son of Fate hate her, he had, thinking that he must have secretly bullied the good girl behind his back.

From then on, Su Aobai realized that sometimes he seemed to explain to you, but in fact he was stabbing for you.

Quiet, idiot!

Li Shi was so angry that his own son, the third child, looked at him suspiciously!

＊＊＊＊＊

The more the second son spoke for her, the more suspicious the eyes of these people.In the end, Madam Li did not know if this stepson was really pure and good to speak for her, either, or did he intentionally trap her.

Perhaps Yuanshen's reputation as an honest person was so good that everyone, including Su Li and Su Youliang, thought that he did not have this cunning plan, either, at best he is stupid and does bad things with good intentions.

And... Su Lao Er was mysteriously poisoned, she would definitely not take poison to injure herself, so in this family, who was the most likely to poison her?

To be honest, if it wasn't for the certainty of Mrs. Su that he did not do this, maybe even he would doubt himself.

"Medicine? What medicine did your second child take?"

Doctor Li wanted to detoxify Su Aobai, he had to find the poison first.

"That's just some of the plants my family picked from the mountains. It was the most common medicinal ingredient to refresh and refresh. When I wasn't sick before, the whole family would drink it in the summer. How can it be poisonous?"

When she said this, Su Li was a little guilty, as she did not bother to take care of second child Su at all. The pot of medicinal soup he cooked in the morning was not at all a refreshing medicinal ingredient, but rather from the pigweed cut by his two grandchildren, randomly picking up a handful, adding a little bit of plant ash and boiling it.

"How can you make your own medicine soup? If it's not true, the roots will be broken."

Dr Li disagreed and said that villagers often go to the mountain to pick their own herbs to save money, and some herbs can also be toxic if processed.not true, it's a bad mistake, and it will damage the foundation.

"Where is the dreg?"

ask Doctor Li.

"Lost."

Su Li spread his hands, looking left and right.

His guilty gaze seemed to reinforce the suspicion that he had poisoned the medicine.

"It's just an ordinary potion!"

Su Li emphasized it again.

Su Youliang looked at his mother helplessly. He knew better than his father how much his mother hated Su Youtian and Su Youniu. In fact, between the first two elder brothers, Su Youniu was very easy to fool. Well, such fools are no threat to the two of them at all. If his mother poisoned him, it would be a huge problem that could not be released. Fortunately, his mother should have left no evidence, and no one could have easily testified against her mother.

"Doctor Li, You Niu was raised by Mrs. Li from a young age. He couldn't have poisoned this kid. I think it's possible that some poisonous plant was accidentally mixed while picking herbs, or the second child was not careful. , stained with something dirty."

Su Kuishan stood up to speak on behalf of the old woman, Their son has just become a scholar, so he cannot let his mother kill his half-brother.

He, the head of the family, was on Li's side Under predictable circumstances, who could punish Li?

Dr Li sighed in his heart, sure enough, Erfang's situation was even more difficult than what the rumors in the village had said.

“I can't find anything that poisons it, and I can only try to detoxify. This time, the toxins accumulated in the internal organs were relatively small, and most were stored in the injured right leg. I explained earlier, because It's too late for you to find me, even if you can eliminate this toxin, your second child's health will not be good in the future, especially his legs, he said, may not be able to return to its original appearance. "

The meaning of Dr.Li is clear, his life can be saved, but he can become a sick child in the future, even his legs are limping, most likely he will not be able to work as he used to.
