Under One: The Dragon's Wife

Chapter 346

Aunt Xiao still lowered her head, speaking in a very soft voice: "No... Cheng Hai earns more than 6000 a month, and I have [-]. I have paid the mortgage and have to support my children. I can't quit. Life, can we start from the eldest brother's house? It doesn't matter how long the shift changes, Cheng Hai has been on the night shift recently and is very tired, we really have no choice, it's not that we don't want to support..."

The other woman looked to be in her fifties, with makeup on her face, but she couldn't hide the wrinkles. She spoke more contemptuously than Aunt Xiao and Sister-in-Law: "Isn't it because you don't want to support me? You have your difficulties and we also have ours. , it’s inconvenient for us to live in other places. Ten days and a half months of tossing and turning shifts to take care of the old man can’t bear it, can you? You just want to start with our family first, and when it’s your third family’s turn, the old man may die , You will save trouble, who doesn’t know the little calculation in your heart? Also, what do you do with five thousand a month? How can the third child have a salary of more than 6000? Do you think we are giving three or four thousand less? What about you? Can your family live like this with a combined income of [-] a month? If you want money, just say it, the poorer you are, the more spineless you are!"

Aunt Xiao was speechless by her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, so I couldn't help but say: "Aunt Xiao is not lying, she earns 5000 yuan a month, and now a salary of [-] yuan is nothing in Binjiang. The monthly salary is paid by me, can I still not understand? You really can’t get rid of people with three or four thousand.”

Only now did they focus on Chang Chong and me. Aunt Xiao's second sister-in-law sized us up and asked, "Who are you?"

I said: "Aunt Xiao is working at my house. She said she wanted to find someone to come back to see if the old man was aiming at something. I happened to be doing this again, so I went to take a look with her. Let's put the maintenance matter first." , let me see the situation of the old man first."

They fell silent immediately, Aunt Xiao hurriedly led me into the house, and I stopped when I stepped into the room where the old man lived.

The worm's nose is more sensitive than mine, so he stuffed his nose with a tissue and I didn't stop him. It's not a matter of embarrassment. If the worm gets fainted, I can't see why. Come on, I don't know what to do then.

Aunt Xiao was not afraid of suffering or tiredness, and she didn't dislike the old man's current taste, so she went directly to help the old man turn over.There is also an old lady in the room, she should be Aunt Xiao's mother-in-law, she has such a heart for her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Aunt Xiao is indeed much better than the old man's other two sons and daughter-in-law.

The old lady burst into tears when she saw Aunt Xiao: "Fang'er, if you don't come back, I don't know what to do. The boss and the second family don't want to take over. It's really hard for me, an old woman, to take care of your father..."

Aunt Xiao hurriedly comforted the old lady: "Mom, don't be afraid. If they really don't care, Cheng Hai and I will definitely not care about it. It's just that Cheng Hai has been on the night shift recently and is so tired that I am also at work. I originally wanted to wait for Cheng Hai to transfer to the day shift. You and Dad took it over, but the eldest brother and the second brother disagreed... I found someone to show it to Dad, if you don’t see it, let’s discuss it again, don’t worry.”

The old lady wiped away her tears, and I stepped forward to take a look. The flesh on the old man’s face was rotten, and it was full of blister-like things, which would burst when touched, and pus remained. , the smell is particularly smoky, and it can hurt your eyes even if you hold your breath.

The old man was already delirious, he kept shouting for pain, and said he was afraid of death or something.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Aunt Xiao couldn't help but her eyes were red: "Mom, help Dad change the clothes, these clothes are all close to the body, you have to wear clothes, and you can't always wear them, even if it hurts, you have to change , otherwise the smell will be strong and there will be bacteria.”

The old lady was even more uncomfortable: "I couldn't take it off, my body was rotten and pus, my clothes were stained, and I pulled the rotten flesh as soon as I took it off, and I kept screaming for pain, and I didn't dare to move... They say raising children to prevent old age , I have raised three sons... It's as if I have raised them for nothing...Only you and the third child have a conscience..."

The second daughter-in-law heard it from outside and went to the door of the room, covered her nose and scolded: "You old lady doesn't know what is good or bad, but you only remember the third family in your heart, how much money will the elder brother and our family give you two all year round? All are not well remembered, right? Why are you two old things so heartless? If you think that the third child and the third daughter-in-law have a conscience, why do you call us back? If you have the ability to contribute money and efforts Let them come, we are laborious and thankless, why?"

The old lady ignored the second daughter-in-law, Aunt Xiao remained silent, and found scissors to help the old man cut off all the clothes on his body, and then took them off little by little.Aunt Xiao also brought several sets of comfortable clothes for the old man when she came back this time. Changing them often makes it less likely that the wound will stick to the clothes.

Chang Chong called me to the door: "Just now I smelled a fishy smell from the well in the yard, which is similar to the smell of the old man. We have to go to the source of the water to see, otherwise we can't find the real reason. Guessing is not enough. Very reliable."

I frowned: "The people who went to the source with the old man before were all sick, who would take us there? Only we went to find it by ourselves, and we are not from here. We don't know much about this place, so it's a waste of time... Seeing the old man like that, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on..."

Aunt Xiao hurriedly turned her head and said to us: "It's okay, I'll take you there later, I know where the source is, but no one has been there for a long time, I probably remember, I'm not afraid, I'll take you there."

I nodded, and waited quietly for Aunt Xiao to help the old man change his clothes. Aunt Xiao went to wash my hands before taking us out. Aunt Xiao said that when they were young, a group of children often went to the mountains, and there was a spring. The water is cold, sweet, and clear. In summer, a group of children like to go to the spring to drink water when they are tired from playing. If they are found by the village adults, they will be scolded, because the water is the source of the small river in the village, and the water in the small river is also clean. When adults are tired from work, what they drink is the water from the small river ditch, for fear of being soiled by children.The source of the spring water is also connected to the well in the village. The water in the spring is from the mountains. I don't know where it comes from. At most, I can only see the spring.

We were taken to the mountain by Aunt Xiao, and when we found the spring, Aunt Xiao was stunned: "It wasn't like this before...the water is very clean..."

The weather is cold now, and there is a thin layer of snow on the mountain, which creaks when you step on it, and the springs are frozen, but you can still see the green water where the ice is frozen.

Aunt Xiao wanted to fiddle with the ice, but was stopped by the worm: "Don't move, those who were sick before must have touched the water like you, I'll go."
