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

When Zhang Xiuhua arrived home, Li Jianguo had already prepared the meal and was putting it on the table and placing the chopsticks, ready to call her to eat.

After washing the dog, Zhang Xiuhua told Li Jianguo about the quarrel between the puppy and his father, but he didn't take it seriously.

You can't even take care of your own business, and yet you still meddle in other people's business.

Li Jianguo finished his meal in a hurry. "My eldest brother's land has not been planted yet. He is in the hospital with his sister-in-law and has no time to take care of it. But farming time does not wait for anyone. I will go and help him plant the crops first."

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "Wait until I finish eating, I'll go help you."

Li Jianguo nodded and drove the tractor to the field.

After finishing her meal, Zhang Xiuhua cleaned up the dishes, found a straw hat, changed into some old clothes, and followed him down to the field.

Li Jianguo was in charge of sowing the soil, and she was in charge of sowing the seeds. The field was planted with corn. First, she used a tool to dig a small shallow pit, and then threw three or four corns into it. Then she covered the soil with her feet to ensure that the seeds were covered with soil.

When the seeds grow to ten centimeters high, leave only two healthy seedlings and pull out the rest.

Many families in the field are planting crops. Although many families plant ginseng, the period of planting ginseng is too long, and the villagers dare not plant all the land for ginseng, so most of the land is reserved for planting crops.

Zhang Xiuhua straightened her back and said, "It would be great if we had a machine for growing corn."

Li Jianguo laughed and said, "If there is such a machine, it must be cheap. If it is too expensive, we can't afford it."

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo worked in the fields for an entire afternoon. Zhang Xiuhua hadn't done such physical work for many years and was really exhausted. She was so tired that her back and waist ached and she fell asleep as soon as she got home.

The next morning, Zhang Xiuhua was woken up by Li Jianguo. "I'm spoiled now. After doing farm work for an afternoon, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable."

Li Jianguo was a little amused, "We are all farmers. After a long time, you will naturally get used to it."

"I don't want to get used to this. I'm so young now." Zhang Xiuhua talked about how when she went back to her hometown, the villagers all commented on her youth.

Li Jianguo took a closer look at her and found that she indeed looked younger than her peers in the village.

After Zhang Xiuhua finished washing up, she came out and saw that the table was already full of breakfast, all of which Li Jianguo had prepared early in the morning.

A bowl of corn porridge, yellow and distinct, with pickled Korean kimchi, a plate of beef, and a plate of cold green vegetables. The combination of meat and vegetables is nutritionally balanced.

Li Jianguo saw that she had a hard time raising her arms to pick up the food, so he helped her pick up the food and said, "Eat quickly. We still have to go to the hospital to visit my sister-in-law."

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, hurriedly finished her breakfast, and went to the hospital with Li Jianguo.

When they arrived, Xu Chunying had not yet been sent to the operating room, because she had to get up at six in the morning to drink laxatives and continue to defecate until now, until there was no residue at all before she could be sent to the operating room. Xu Chunying went to the toilet from time to time, and then came out for a walk to let her stomach digest more thoroughly.

It was almost 11 o'clock when Xu Chunying was finally discharged and was pushed into the operating room. Because of anesthesia, a relative needed to be present, so Li Jiandang went in to accompany her, while other relatives waited outside.

Intestinal obstruction resection is a minor operation that can be performed in many hospitals. After two or three hours, the nurse pushed Xu Chunying out. Xu Chunying's body was still under anesthesia. Fortunately, the operation was successful.

Hongxia and Hongwu surrounded her and listened to the doctor's instructions, saying that she could not eat anything until the gas was discharged. She also had to eat liquid food and not eat food that was difficult to digest.

After seeing that Xu Chunying was safe and sound, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo returned to the village. Li Jiandang also came back with them. He had to continue farming. Hongxia and Hongwu stayed in the hospital to take care of Xu Chunying.

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo returned to the village and continued to help Li Jiandang farm.

Li Jiandang felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry to bother you. You just came back and you haven't even had a chance to catch your breath yet you're helping me with the work."

"We are all family, how can we have different opinions?" Li Jianguo sighed, "Xiuhua and I helped plant corn yesterday. We can't miss the farming season and delay the harvest."

There is only one season a year in the Northeast. If you miss the farming season, the crops won't grow well in the fall, and if it snows, all your efforts for the year will be in vain.

Li Jiandang didn't say any more polite words.

At noon, Zhang Xiuhua went home to cook, and Li Jiandang ate at their house. They were busy until nightfall. They finally finished planting the remaining fields. Zhang Xiuhua was so exhausted that she could hardly lift her arms.

She was really hypocritical. She was obviously from the countryside, but she was so tired after a day's work. She wanted to despise herself and spoil herself so much that she didn't look like a country girl.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Xiuhua learned from Aunt Wang that Xiaogou had divorced his wife.

Zhang Xiuhua found it incredible, "Didn't Xiaogou say before that he would not divorce his wife?" The father and son quarreled so fiercely. It's only been a few days, and they're getting divorced.

Aunt Wang smiled sarcastically, "Can he beat his dad? His dad went to his father-in-law's family compound, and his wife's unit was shouting about it. Everyone in the unit knew that his wife couldn't have children. Who can stand this? Being told not to lay eggs all day long?! His wife didn't want her parents to be looked down upon, nor did she want her family to be disturbed forever, so she divorced Xiao Gou in a rage. I heard that the family of three moved to another place."

Zhang Xiuhua was completely speechless. This family was hopeless. If Ergou knew about this, he would probably laugh his teeth off.

Aunt Wang also laughed, "Yes, I've never heard of a son getting a divorce just because his daughter-in-law was a little sick. These old couple are simply crazy."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't pay much attention to the puppy. She rested at home for a day and went to the hospital to visit her sister-in-law the next day. Xu Chunying has been very weak after the operation. Hongxia and Hongwu have been taking care of her in the hospital. Hongwen also came back today, and the three children took turns to take care of her.

I thought that with the children around her and Xu Chunying having completed the surgery, everything should be going well, but the accident still happened.

One day, Zhang Xiuhua was cooking at home when the phone rang. Zhang Xiuhua had no choice but to put down the spatula and hurried to the main room. There were water droplets on her hands, so she wiped them on her apron and then picked up the phone.

The call was from Hongxia, her voice was a little hurried and even a little tearful, "Second Aunt, please tell my dad that my mom has had a high fever since last night and she's been feeling chilly and cold. The doctor examined her this morning and said she might have sepsis."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know what sepsis was, but just hearing the name was scary. Her heart was beating fast, she put down the phone and ran to find Li Jiandang.

Li Jiandang was looking for clothes at home. For someone who never did housework, it was quite difficult to find clothes at this time. He searched the house in a mess before finding two pieces.

After Zhang Xiuhua told the truth about the phone call, the 1.80-meter-tall man almost fell to the ground.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiuhua was worried about him driving alone, so she drove her own tricycle to take him to the county town.

After arriving at the hospital, Zhang Xiuhua parked the tricycle at the door and looked back at Li Jiandang. He had recovered to normal by now. He jumped off the tricycle and ran straight to the hospital without even saying hello to Zhang Xiuhua. Zhang Xiuhua followed closely behind him.

When the two arrived at the hospital, the three children were crying in the emergency room.

Seeing them coming, the three of them cried breathlessly and gathered around Li Jiandang, "What should we do about Dad? Mom has sepsis, and the doctor said she needs money. The three of us didn't bring that much money when we came."

Li Jiandang brought his passbook and told them how much money they needed.

"The doctor said it would cost 2 yuan." Hongxia's voice was filled with impatience.

Li Jiandang almost popped his eyes out, "2, where can I get 2?" 2 is not a small amount. Li Jiandang was so anxious that he scratched his head. He only had yuan on him. All the money he had before was used to pay for medical expenses. He subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiuhua, "Second sister-in-law, can you lend it to me? I will definitely pay you back in the future."

The money they owed was all paid off. Zhang Xiuhua nodded and said, "I'll go to the savings bank to get the money for you now."

Li Jiandang was not at ease with her bringing so much money back alone, so he followed her. Although the gangs had just been cleaned up, there were always bad guys, especially when 20,000 yuan made him the richest man in the county.

Zhang Xiuhua went to the savings bank, took out the money in her passbook, and gave the full 2 yuan to Li Jiandang, who took it to the hospital to pay the bill. At that time, the hospital would not necessarily save people only if they saw the money. Generally, they would choose to save people first and pay the fees later.

Just an hour later, Xu Chunying was pushed out. The operation was successful and she was saved. However, she could not do heavy work in the future and needed to stay in bed to rest.

Zhang Xiuhua asked the doctor, "Wasn't the previous operation very successful? Why did he still get sepsis? Did something go wrong during the operation?"

The doctor patiently answered, "Intestinal obstruction is prone to systemic infection, and inducing sepsis is an important cause of the poor prognosis of malignant mechanical intestinal obstruction. In severe cases, it is very likely to cause death. This is a complication, so you must be careful in postoperative care and never be careless. If you feel unwell, remember to notify the nurse at any time."

Hongxia nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiuhua felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xu Chunying's frail appearance. She was usually so energetic, but now she even had difficulty speaking.

Zhang Xiuhua stayed with her for a while and then returned to the brewery and told her about Xu Chunying's postoperative infection.

Li Jianguo didn't expect his sister-in-law's condition to be so serious. The operation was not cheap in the first place, and with sepsis, the two together would cost at least 30,000 yuan. They might not have that much money.

Zhang Xiuhua also knew that her elder brother and his wife often used all their earnings to support their two sons. They must have been under a lot of pressure knowing that they owed 30,000 yuan.

Li Jianguo pursed his lips and said, "Xiuhua, sister-in-law is ill, and it may take a while for her to pay back the money. We are not in a hurry to use the money, let's wait a little longer."

Zhang Xiuhua wanted to say, who doesn't need money urgently? Isn't Yaoyao going to study abroad soon? But seeing his begging look, she didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.

After the couple finished their meal, Li Jianguo was still worried, so he went to the hospital to visit his sister-in-law.
