Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua and Ji Lin did not run over to watch the fun.

Because the team leader invited people to the village to discuss things.

Why did they fight? Because of the gift-giving issue. They were not united. Lijiatun did not give any gifts, but other villages did, and they gave quite a lot. Zhangjiatun gave 200 yuan, and Xujiatun gave 300 yuan.

Five hundred yuan is not a small sum. The salesperson in Lijiatun refused to do it. They were asked to pay the money themselves.

But the salesmen from the other two villages also had something to say. They had given gifts to the supply and marketing cooperative before, and they had not exceeded their budget. Why didn’t they acknowledge it?!

Finally, the team leader pulled everyone apart and invited the team leaders of the other two production teams to come over to discuss the matter.

This time the sales will be reimbursed, but next time you give a gift you will have to pay out of your own pocket.

Although all the chickens were sold this time, and the price was the same as here, the cost increased, and the accountant of the brigade frowned when he was keeping the accounts.

I went out two more times after that, and finally sold all the chickens by the end of June.

Fortunately, Aunt Wang hatched the chicks early, otherwise they might not be able to be sold out.

After the first column was sold, the accountants from the three brigades gathered together to count the accounts.

There was only 6 yuan left in the account. You have to know that this was in their account. The labor and feed costs had not yet been settled.

If the next column still has the same amount of money, they may end up with nothing to share.

The three companies got together to discuss that they couldn't sell like this next time. They had to coordinate well and not be scattered like this time. They had to elect a person in charge and the other two to supervise.

Finally, Lijiatun selected a person in charge, and the other two production teams each sent a supervisor. This was settled.

After the meeting, the members began to surround the team leaders and ask about the accounting situation.

“Did you lose money?”

"When will you be paid?"

In order to encourage everyone, the team leader could only tell them, "We haven't lost money. We still have a lot of money. We will pay our workers after all the chickens in the second pen are sold and settled. Don't worry."

The members were very easy to talk to after they got the confirmation. They stopped urging the brigade cadres.

Just three days after this incident, another major event occurred in Lijiatun.

On this day, Zhang Xiuhua was still at home feeding chickens. The children were on holiday. Some were reviewing in the house, while others were running to the village entrance to play.

Zhang Xiuhua wanted to give the children a good meal, so she caught a rooster from her chicken coop and gave it to Youcai, asking him to kill it and eat the meat.

Youcai boiled some hot water, scalded the chicken feathers, and then squatted at the well to pluck them.

Baolin came back panting, "Mom! It's terrible, something big has happened!"

Zhang Xiuhua was cleaning up chicken poop. When she heard this, she stopped what she was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ergou is in trouble!" Baolin's face was pale, he was sweating from running, his hands were on his knees, and he could hardly speak clearly.

Before Zhang Xiuhua could say anything, Youcai, who had been plucking hair, jumped over and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"He...his leg was broken!" Baolin finally finished speaking haltingly.

Zhang Xiuhua thought something was wrong, so she asked Jidong to stay at home to look after the chicken farm and immediately ran to Ergou's house.

Youcai also dropped the half-plucked chicken and followed behind. Baolin, Yaoyao and Zhuzhu also chased after him. Even Jilin, after a brief thought, walked out of the door slowly.

Jidong put down the book in his hand, walked to the bench where Youcai had just sat, and continued plucking the hair.

Zhang Xiuhua ran to Ergou's house, which was already crowded with members.

From inside came Ergou's screams and his stepmother's curses.

"Why did you bring him home? To settle accounts with them?"

"Whoever hits you should pay for it!"

Ergou's father came back with Ergou on his back. After hearing this, he threw Ergou into the yard. The other members of the community saw that the child couldn't even stand steadily and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Can't you move your legs?"

Aunt Li Si touched Er Gou's leg, and he gasped in pain, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. It was obvious that he was not faking it. He was really in pain!

"How did you do that?" The members all looked at Ergou's father.

Ergou's father then explained the whole story.

It turned out that Ergou and his father were selling food in the county town. They might have made a lot of money, and some people were jealous and wanted to squeeze them out. They first lowered the price to drive them away, but when they saw that they still had a steady stream of customers, they started to do bad things and found someone to beat Ergou up.

Ergou's leg was broken, and Ergou's father was also beaten up by the other party, with wounds all over his face. However, he was thick-skinned, so his injuries were not as serious as Ergou's.

After Ergou's father finished speaking, Ergou's stepmother hit him and said, "Go find them. Throw them at the door and make them pay!"

"I don't know where their house is? How can I find them! We called the police, but the police said there were no witnesses and they couldn't prove that they were the ones who did it." Ergou's father scratched his hair in annoyance.

Zhang Xiuhua finally squeezed into the encirclement and asked Ergou's father, "How is Ergou's leg? Has he been sent to the hospital?"

The members of the cooperative also felt it was a pity. The child was still so young, and if he became lame in the future, how would he find a wife?

Ergou's father pursed his lips and said, "The doctor said it can't be cured. The leg injury is too serious."

The members looked at Ergou with more pity. What a good child, but he became lame like this? What will he do in the future?

Ergou said nothing, he clenched his fists tightly, and it was obvious that he didn't like being looked at with pity.

Zhang Xiuhua touched Ergou's leg, and perhaps it was too painful, so his body trembled.

"Should we send him to a big hospital in the provincial capital? Our county hospital may not be that good." Zhang Xiuhua felt that Ergou's leg injury did not look that serious. Because she had taken care of a wheelchair user in her previous life. That leg had no feeling at all. It was truly paralyzed.

But Ergou's legs still hurt when touched. It can be seen that it can still be cured. So it must be that the doctors in this county hospital are not good enough.

When she said this, Ergou's eyes lit up surprisingly, but Ergou's father was unhappy, "Go to the provincial capital to treat the leg?! You pay for it?!"

"No matter what, we have to go and have a look. What if it can be cured?!" A member couldn't help but say something fair.

Other members also thought it made sense. "Yes. Let's talk about it later about how much money it costs. Let's go and have a look first, just in case it can be cured. The child is still young, don't ruin him!"

"Yes! Ergou can get back a lot of money before the New Year." Aunt Li Si also stood on everyone's side.

Being denounced by so many people, Ergou's father glared and said, "Isn't it just a few hundred yuan? What can you do with that little money?! And... you only know how to show off after making a little money. What's the point of buying an impractical mink coat!"

Every time he spoke, Ergou's face trembled.

Seeing that he was determined not to treat the child, the members looked down on him, but they could not interfere in other people's affairs, so they could only leave one after another. Just by looking at them whispering to each other, I guessed that they had something against Ergou's father.

Zhang Xiuhua was dragged away by Baolin and Yaoyao. Ergou's father and stepmother felt embarrassed and wanted to drive away Zhang Xiuhua, the instigator, with a broom.
