Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 163 A desperate fight with the rotten kaba.

Dr. Qiu squatted down, lifted the bed sheet, and pointed to a large, tightly packed package under the bed.

Zhang Changyao propped himself up from the chair, his eyes reddening, his knees buckling.

With a "thump," he knelt down properly in front of Doctor Qiu.

"Oh dear! You don't need to bow so deeply. Get up, get up..."

Dr. Qiu was panicked and quickly came over to help Zhang Changyao.

Guan Lin hadn't expected Zhang Changyao to pull this stunt, and stood there dumbfounded, unsure whether he should help him up.

"Dr. Qiu, you've been so kind to me and Wu Ni, I really don't know how to thank you."

Zhang Changyao took the opportunity to say some words of thanks to cover up the awkward expression on his face.

"Zhang Changyao, I think you and Wu Ni are too honest."

Others come to see a doctor and receive generous government subsidies every day.

I wish I could settle down here and never go home.

You two heartless children, no matter how hard we try to keep you, you insist on going home to recuperate.

From this perspective, you are kind-hearted people.

Besides, these are all hand-me-downs from other people's families, worn by children and adults.

I just mentioned it casually, and they brought it all to me.

Dr. Qiu helped Zhang Changyao up and smiled shyly.

"Dr. Qiu, the government provides subsidies to us ordinary people because the government understands that we poor people cannot afford to see a doctor for serious illnesses."

If ordinary people like us harbor evil intentions and bully the country, are we still human?

Zhang Changyao straightened his back and spoke with righteous indignation.

He then hunched over, unable to support his back, with a pained expression on his face.

"Zhang Changyao, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so don't be careless."

"I can't do heavy work when I get home; a spinal injury is no small matter."

Dr. Qiu helped Zhang Changyao support his back and slowly pushed him out of the house.

Guan Lin helped Zhang Changyao sit in the middle of the donkey cart.

The packages were packed around him one by one, surrounding him.

Zhang Changyao's two arms weren't enough; he would grab this one moment and pull that the next.

I'm afraid that if I don't take care of them at all, I might lose or drop one of them.

In his eyes, these things were treasures; they were given to him by others, and that was a sign of their affection for him and Wu Ni.

"Changyao, you know how rare these things are, how could anyone bear to give them away?"

Guan Lin was squeezed into a small corner by the bundle, and there was a small child sitting under his bottom.

"Second brother, does anyone have any extra things to give away?"

Without even asking, you can tell that these people only gave it to Dr. Qiu because they saw how kind she was and asked her for it.

"Smell it, it smells wonderful, someone must have washed it thoroughly before giving it to you."

Zhang Changyao buried his head in a floral cloth, looking completely absorbed.

"Changyao, no one has more clothes than you this time. You're amazing."

Guan Lin and Zhang Changyao had long forgotten about everything else and were chatting and laughing all the way back.

Before I even got out of the car, I could feel a murderous aura emanating from the house.

"Second brother, something's wrong. Why isn't anyone coming out to meet us?"

Zhang Changyao was so tightly wrapped up that he couldn't move, so he reached out to pat Guan Lin's back.

"It's over...it's over...Changyao, something terrible seems to have happened in the house."

Guan Lin tied the donkey cart to the wooden post at the garden gate and tilted his head to look into the window.

"Oh no, it looks like my mother is the one fighting?"

Guan Lin dropped the package he had just picked up and rushed into the house.

When Zhang Changyao heard that Zhang Shuhua had gotten into trouble, his heart tightened.

He used all his strength to pull himself out of the pile of packages.

He leaned against the wall to catch his breath before pushing open the door and entering the house.

The room was in complete chaos, and no one noticed Guan Lin and Zhang Changyao coming in.

"I'll make you crave chicken, and then I'll tear your mouth open."

If anything happens to my son, Zhang Yao, I'll smash your crotch to pieces.

"You just spread your legs and order my fifth brother to shamelessly beg for food."

Zhang Shuhua grabbed Zhao Xiulan's hair and scratched her face haphazardly with her other hand.

Zhao Xiulan wasn't an honest person either; she grabbed Zhang Shuhua's hair at the back of her head with one hand.

He tried to scratch Zhang Shuhua with his other hand, but it was blocked by Li Yue'e's large hand.

Enraged, he didn't care whether he could reach Li Yue'e's face or not, and swung his arms wildly in the air.

Guan Yuxiu circled around the two people, following them around in circles.

She had no experience in fighting and was anxious, not knowing where to start.

Zhang Kaiju was blocked by Yang Deming's outstretched leg and dared not go over to help.

Watching Zhao Xiulan being beaten, he clenched his fists tightly, his mouth grimacing as he felt the pain for her.

Seeing that his mother hadn't suffered any loss, Guan Lin leaned against the wall by the door to watch the commotion.

Yang Wuni, with her sharp eyes, turned around and saw Zhang Changyao, who had returned alive, and immediately burst into tears of joy.

She jumped barefoot to the ground and threw herself into Zhang Changyao's arms.

"Wu Ni... Wu Ni, this won't do. You can't cry during postpartum confinement, and you can't go barefoot on the ground either."

"If I get a cold after this, my feet will hurt for the rest of my life."

Zhang Changyao mustered all his strength, picked up Yang Wuni, and put her back on the kang (a heated brick bed), covering her legs with a quilt.

"Stop fighting, my son-in-law is back alive."

Yang Deming stood up from the bench and shouted loudly to stop the two old ladies who were still arguing.

Zhang Shuhua was thin and agile. She reached back, grabbed her knotted hair, and with a quick movement, retreated.

Zhao Xiulan was plump and heavy, while Zhang Shuhua had already sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

She was still unaware of what had happened and stood there in a daze.

Zhang Kaiju quickly stepped forward and used his sleeve to wipe the blood off Zhao Xiulan's face.

When Zhao Xiulan saw Zhang Changyao return alive, she was so angry she was panting heavily.

"Auntie, Aunt Xiulan, you two are so old, why are you still touching me like that?"

Wu Ni shouldn't get angry during her postpartum period, so why are you all bringing a fight into the house?

Zhang Changyao was ostensibly referring to two people, but in reality, he was blaming Zhao Xiulan for bullying Zhang Shuhua at their home.

"Changyao, come here and let your aunt take a look. Where did you hurt yourself?"

If anything really happens to you, your aunt and this lousy bastard will fight to the death.

"If she hadn't been so greedy, none of this would have happened. She's a bottomless pit, all she knows is food."

Zhang Shuhua waved her hand, gesturing for Zhang Changyao to come over and sit next to her.

Zhang Changyao obediently sat down next to Zhang Shuhua, letting him stroke his hair.

Zhang Kaiju shoved Zhao Xiulan, who was reluctant to leave, and the two of them slipped out of the house.

"Changyao, does it still hurt? Are you still coughing up blood? Let your aunt take a look."

Zhang Shuhua patted Zhang Changyao's back, making him hiss in pain.

"This Zhang Laowu is too ruthless. I don't know who he got his hands on. He's got a tiger from."

"Wait until I go to Gannan County in a few days, then I'll see how I file a complaint against him."

Zhang Shuhua lifted Zhang Changyao's clothes and saw the bruises on his back, and gritted her teeth in anger.

"Auntie, the X-ray showed nothing serious, she just needs some rest."

Second brother, second sister-in-law, the medical expenses cost Yuxiu's dowry money; I'll send it to you in a few days.

Zhang Changyao glanced at Guan Yuxiu sheepishly.

"How much did it cost?" Yang Deshan asked from the side.

"The X-ray and medicine cost a total of sixty-nine yuan."

Guan Lin did not recognize Yang Deshan and answered his questions honestly.

"Yang Deming, what are you waiting for? The trouble you caused almost killed your son-in-law."

"Why aren't you hurrying up and returning the money to those who kindly helped you?" Yang Deshan stared at Yang Deming.

"Uncle, you and Dad don't need to help me pay it back. I'll sell some more snacks in a few days and I'll be able to pay it back."
