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

Zhang Xiuhua stopped what she was doing and stared at Yaoyao, "What happened?"

Yaoyao pulled a small stool from inside the room and sat on the other side of Zhang Xiuhua before answering her question, "My deskmate has leukemia."

As soon as these words came out, Zhuzhu couldn't wait to clench her fists and put them together to make a microphone, "What is leukemia?"

"It's just a disease. I heard it costs a lot of money. And it's very likely that it can't be cured." After Yaoyao finished speaking, tears began to fall from her eyes, and she cried very pitifully.

Seeing her like this, Zhuzhu didn't dare to play around anymore and looked at her sister at a loss.

Baolin Baba asked, "Mom, can leukemia be cured? Can it be cured by going to a large hospital in the capital?"

Zhang Xiuhua really didn't understand. Leukemia actually depends on whether there is a suitable bone marrow. If the match is suitable, the probability of successful surgery is very high. If no suitable bone marrow is found, the patient will definitely die.

She shook her head. “Everyone’s situation is different. Some can be cured, and some can’t.”

Yaoyao wiped her tears and said, "The teacher asked us to donate money."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Then donate it."

Yaoyao pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Zhang, can I donate more? I had a great time with her. She's in the hospital, and I'm so sad."

Children of this age always take friendship very seriously. Zhang Xiuhua could understand that, "Then I'll give you fifty."

Zhuzhu nodded, "Thank you Aunt Zhang!"

Just then, the team leader came and called for donations to a middle school kid who had leukemia. Everyone expressed their gratitude.

Zhang Xiuhua gave fifty.

After the team leader finished registering, he went to the second house.

After the captain left, Yaoyao looked at Zhang Xiuhua and said, "Aunt Zhang, with this money, can Juanjuan be saved?"

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know how to answer. She couldn't lie to her, nor could she let her fall into despair. She could only say, "With money, she has more chances to get treatment than others. Maybe she can find a bone marrow that's suitable for her."

Although her answer was not so certain, Yaoyao was very happy.

As they were talking, Youcai and Jidong came back.

After Youcai entered the second year of high school, he went to school once a week, but now he goes to school once every two weeks. Even after he comes back, he still has a lot of homework to do. The workload is very heavy.

Youcai returned home, unloaded his schoolbag, and ran over to ask, "Aunt Zhang, how is Ergou? Can his leg be cured?"

Zhang Xiuhua explained the situation again.

Youcai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Ergou's leg could be cured. "Fortunately it can be cured. If his leg was broken, it would be so painful! When I went to see him before, I found that he was quieter than before."

It was incredible that he could notice the subtle changes in Ergou with such a rough temperament. Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "When a major misfortune occurs, people's personalities will change. This is normal! When he gets better, he will definitely become cheerful."

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June, and Zhang Xiuhua bought two large electric fans from the city. This kind of fan is usually equipped for factories and is not cheap.

I am worried that if I use it now, the chickens will not be able to bear it in July. Zhang Xiuhua did not bloom. I just opened the window to let the chickens breathe.

In order to keep the chickens cool, she painted the entire exterior of the house white. According to the book, this can increase reflectivity and heat dissipation rate and reduce the transfer of solar heat energy.

Other options are too expensive for her to implement for now.

However, worried that the chickens would get sick, she cleaned the house three times a day to ensure that chicken droppings would not stay for too long and breed bacteria.

She couldn't handle it alone, so she asked Xu Chunying to help her clean.

The two of them can work together and chat together.

"Last time the village called for donations, was the child saved?" Xu Chunying also donated money at that time. This happened right next to her, and the child got such a serious disease when he was a teenager. Everyone would have some sympathy. Even though Xu Chunying was usually stingy, she still gritted her teeth and donated ten yuan.

"I don't know. But I heard they went to a big hospital for a bone marrow match. I hope it's good news."

Xu Chunying went back to her parents' home yesterday and heard her father tell her about something. "He went to Zhoujia Village to help someone prepare a banquet and heard that the chicken farm in their village was selling chickens."

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "Is the time up? Shouldn't it be recovered by the end of the month? Why are you in such a hurry?!"

"I don't know. Maybe they are afraid that it will be like before, where several villages come together to sell and then fail to sell them!" Xu Chunying guessed.

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it carefully and felt that it was possible.

But they both obviously guessed wrong.

Because the next day, the superiors sent people to the village to inspect the chicken farm and ask whether there was any chicken plague.

Zhang Xiuhua was feeding the chickens when someone suddenly knocked on the door. She was startled and walked to the door to see so many people standing there, all of them strangers. "What's going on?"

The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Xiuhua, have your chickens been infected with chicken plague?"

Zhang Xiuhua was confused. "No! We have always been strict about raising chickens."

The captain introduced these people to her. It turned out that they were from the Health Bureau.

There was a chicken plague at the chicken farm in Zhoujia Village. They were unwilling to lose money, so they sold the sick chickens to the supply and marketing cooperative. After the citizens bought them home and ate them, they vomited and had fever. The serious case was admitted to the hospital for intravenous drip, and they have not woken up yet.

The leaders of the Health Bureau personally went to the countryside to inspect and checked all the chicken farms in each village.

Even after hearing Zhang Xiuhua say that there was nothing wrong with the chickens, they were still worried and insisted on going in to check.

Zhang Xiuhua asked them to change their clothes first. "The clothes you wear may have bacteria on them. I have 10,000 chickens here. If one gets sick, it will be terrible!"

The captain was terrified and tried desperately to signal Zhang Xiuhua not to speak to her superiors in that way.

Zhang Xiuhua insisted, "I am also thinking about you. If there is really chicken plague here, you can also avoid being infected by putting on clothes and masks!"

After she said that, everyone looked much better.

After changing clothes, I went in to check and made sure that no chickens were hurt. Then I went out and changed my clothes.

The captain saw the group off and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiuhua asked the higher-ups how to deal with the chickens in Zhoujia Village.

"What else can we do with them? Dig a hole and bury them all!" The captain shook his head and sighed, "There are thousands of chickens here. It's a huge loss!"

"Is there anything wrong with the chickens in our village?" Xu Chunying was so frightened that she didn't say a word. She only dared to speak after the leaders left.

"No! Aunt Wang is the one who raises chickens in our village. She is too busy raising chickens to come visit us." The team leader was both relieved and worried. "There are only ten days left, please don't let anything go wrong!"

Zhang Xiuhua said, "Let's sell it quickly. If everyone knows about this, no one will buy the intact chickens!"

Food safety is always a big deal. And people like to follow trends. If they know someone got sick from eating broiler chickens, they think all broiler chickens will get sick.

The team leader also remembered this after she reminded him, "Okay! I'll gather everyone to prepare to sell the chickens now. No need to wait!"

The team leader ran away in a hurry. Xu Chunying felt pained and said, "Sell it now. Is the chicken six kilograms? I'm afraid it's only four or five kilograms?!"

"It's good enough that they didn't break my hands." Zhang Xiuhua felt really distressed as there were so many chickens.
