Chapter 125 The Poor Man [Seeking Follow-up]

"Oh no."

"Chun San has jumped into the pond, someone come quickly!"

The early morning in Shanghuai Village was broken by waves of panicked shouting.

When Lu Yang returned to the village in the morning, the impact of the incident was still there. Most of the people in the village gathered in front of Chun San's main hall, filled with righteous indignation, and no one knew what they were arguing about.

The person who came to pick up Lu Yang today was Lu Yang's father-in-law.

He was driving his Santana sedan.

Now the driver has been replaced by Gong Pingan.

The father-in-law was sitting next to Lu Yang.

Encountering this situation just after entering the village, Lu Yang couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, what's going on? Did something happen to Chun San's family?"

That Chun San was also Lu Yang's elementary and junior high school classmate.

It's just not a close relationship.

The other party had two older brothers, but they died before they reached adulthood. I remember that Chun San was 15 years old and got engaged right after graduating from junior high school. He was already the father of three children before he was 20 years old. He often gave his wife, Yin Mingyue's aunt Ma Xiumei, the women's director, a headache. She often went to talk to him and asked him not to have any more children.

During the previous Chinese New Year.

When my aunt came to visit relatives, she brought this up.

It is said that a dead pig in spring is not afraid of boiling water.

Fine him, he has no money.

I told him not to have the baby, but he wouldn't listen. His wife at home got pregnant again recently, and she also had some twisted reasons.

There is strength in numbers!

The poorer you are, the more children you should have, because there will always be one who will be successful in the future.

I remember that my aunt was gritting her teeth when she talked about it.

She said her job was very difficult. Originally, she was required to pierce the house, but she felt sorry for Chun San's family. His father had died long ago, he had a sick mother, a younger brother, and an underage sister. In addition, there were five members of her own family, a total of eight people, big and small, squeezed into two old, shabby and short houses of less than ten square meters. If she pierced their house, it would be like taking their lives.

They also said that Chun San had to support so many people by himself, and he was as tired as an old ox. He looked dazed all day long, and something was bound to happen.

Sure enough, not long after that, something really happened.

Old Man Yin sighed and said, "So this is fate. Don't force it, otherwise you will bring disaster upon yourself!"

It turned out that Chunsan had given birth to three daughters in a row before, and his mother wanted to have a grandson, so under such difficult conditions, she forced her wife to keep giving birth.

My father-in-law, this is Yu Chunsan who reminded me of myself!

At this time, he sighed again: "As for Chun San's matter, speaking of it, although he also has his own responsibility, if he is too tired, he should rest for a few days, otherwise he would not be distracted and have his foot crushed by a rock.

But these city people who contracted the tea mountain only wanted to send people away with a mere 100 yuan. That was too much of an abuse. Even when the old village party secretary went to their house to negotiate in person, they still refused to pay.

There was not even enough money for the medical expenses, so Chunsan's family had no choice but to take him out of the hospital. Last night, the family was filled with gloom. There were so many hungry people who were still relying on him for support, but now they could only face him, a crippled person with a lame leg. Maybe they were really desperate about the days ahead, so they got up this morning and jumped into the pond in front of the house with a stick. Fortunately, his aunt who passed by was washing clothes in the morning and found him in time, and asked someone to fish him out.

Now, although he is not dead yet, he is only half alive. He is running a fever and refuses to go to the hospital. I think the injured leg may be infected. If he delays it any further, it is hard to say whether he can survive for two or three days. "

The father-in-law finished speaking in one breath, and then he sighed. Even Lu Yang was silent for a while.

I had been away for less than half a month when this incident happened.

Although it is emergency relief and not poverty relief, Chunsan and his family are in a very miserable situation now.

I couldn't help but wonder: "Hasn't the village committee thought of a solution, even if it's just organizing villagers to donate money, so that their families can have some money to deal with the emergency?"

"How not?"

The father-in-law said, "We have donated money a long time ago. The village has collected a total of 40 to 50 yuan. I donated 10 yuan, and your wife also donated 10 yuan on your behalf. It is only enough for Chunsan's medical expenses for two days. If he can't be cured, his leg will not be saved. He will have to be discharged from the hospital and become disabled. How can we support such a large family in the future?"

What he said is true. The villagers work hard to earn money. It is impossible for them to use their own money to fill the bottomless pit of Chun San's family.

Unless there is a miracle.

Someone should come up with a large sum of money to completely cure Chunsan's leg, or promise to help support his entire family. Otherwise, he will not be able to survive and will eventually commit suicide.

Lu Yang suddenly said, "Stop the car! Let's go see Chun San instead of going home first."

If it wasn't a coincidence.

Lu Yang would not care about such trivial matters, but since he had encountered it, he just walked away and pretended that out of sight, out of mind. It was both emotional and logical, and he felt uneasy.

Gong Ping'an, who was driving, looked at Lu Yang through the rearview mirror with some surprise.

This guy looked very serious.

There seemed to be a bit of sadness and sorrow on his face.

I couldn't help but think: It seems that I misunderstood him before. Apart from being greedy and arrogant, he is actually a good person.

So he turned the steering wheel and drove towards the pond where a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the village where he had just come from.

At this time, Lu Yang was thinking: Chun San's mother and his wife should be in the same mood as his mother when his alcoholic father just died. They can't live anymore, and next, they have to make a choice among their children.

That year, my mother fled with my younger sister overnight because the family was in debt. If they didn't flee, my younger sister would not have survived.

At the moment, Chunsan does not owe any money, and his family still has a few acres of thin land. However, so many people are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they definitely cannot survive on these few acres of thin land. They can only give away the younger ones and keep the older ones that are easier to raise. This is exactly the opposite of his own situation back then, haha?
Lu Yang did not sympathize with Chun San, but he felt very sorry for these children. If Chun San died, some of these children would definitely become dependent on others like he did in the past. They would be even younger and female, so their lives would probably be even more painful than his own.

Lu Yang felt sad, but he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

What time is it now? I am still distinguishing between boys and girls?

"Here he comes. It's Yang Ge'er who's back. I heard that Old Man Yin went to pick up Yang Ge'er this morning. I told you that when Yang Ge'er comes back, he will definitely come to see Chun San first. Look, isn't that Yang Ge'er's car?"

"Everyone, make way, hurry up and let Yang Ge'er in. Now that Yang Ge'er is back, Chun San'er may be saved."

"Yes, the most promising person in our village is Yang Ge'er. With such a big thing happening, we can only see if Yang Ge has any ideas. Alas, Chun San is really pitiful."

"Yeah, those city people are too bullying. They don't even give face to the old village party secretary. If Brother Yang gives the order later, I will definitely be the first to rush in. If I can't get the money, I will break their legs. Otherwise, I will have no way to vent my anger."

"Hey, let's see what Brother Yang has to say. It's more important to save people first."

Seeing Lu Yang getting off the car, the villagers consciously made way for him.
