Chapter 186 He Yuzhu passes the buck

Hearing that his source of income was cut off, Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, staring at He Yuzhu with wide eyes.
"Zhu Zi, I really don't want that!"

"I really don't want it.
The fish you caught today, plus the ones left over from yesterday, are enough for our family to eat for three or four days.
If you send more, our house will be too big to accommodate them.

We are not a wealthy family. If we don’t finish eating all the fish, they will die. This is such a waste.”

Seeing this, Yan Bugui was somewhat unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing he could do.
I had to agree.

"Okay, I won't go tomorrow."

Seeing that he really didn't care about his wife and little son at all, He Yuzhu didn't say a word and just left Yan's house.

After returning home, He Yuzhu took care of the fish before going to bed.

I thought it was nothing.

But the next day, before dawn, I heard Aunt Yan from the opposite door yelling in panic in the yard.
"Oh no! Someone come quickly! Our old Yan has a high fever and is talking nonsense."

Then she started to yell and knock on doors.

Soon they arrived at He Yuzhu's house.

"Zhuzi Zhuzi, wake up, wake up, get up and check on your uncle Yan. He's talking nonsense at home."

Hearing the noise outside, He Yuzhu got up from the kang and went to open the door without even putting on his cotton coat.
The moment he opened the door curtain, cold wind rushed into the house, causing him to shudder and shrink his neck.
Then he put his hands in his sleeves and asked quickly,

"Aunt, what happened to my Uncle Yan? He was fine when he came back from fishing last night!"

“I don’t know what happened.

After you came back with the fish yesterday, he kept talking to himself and sighing at home, and he couldn't fall asleep for half the night.

This morning when I woke up, I couldn't wake him up no matter how hard I tried.

When I touched his forehead, I felt it was terribly hot.

Please go and see your Uncle Yan immediately. I will go to the middle courtyard to look for Lao Yi and your father."

"Aunt Cheng, please go to the middle courtyard first. I'll come over after I get dressed."

He Yuzhu returned to the kang and put on his clothes while pushing the curious He Yushui and Li Qingshan back into bed.

"It's so cold, what are you two doing?
What to do if you catch a cold?

I'll go check on Uncle Yan first. You two can lie down on the kang for a while. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

When He Yuzhu had taken care of the two children, he slowly put on his clothes, scarf and gloves and came to the Yan family opposite.
Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing, Jiang Sheng and others were already in the room.

As soon as I lifted the door curtain and walked in, I saw the three of them checking on Yan Bugui's condition and complaining,

"Lao He, when I got home from get off work yesterday, I heard from my wife that Lao Yan had gone out fishing.
I knew something would happen to him sometime.

With his physique, it is really tiring for him to go out night fishing in such cold weather.

I say your family should not buy fish from him anymore.
Old Yan is a typical guy who values ​​money over life. If he does it twice, he might even lose his life. "

He Daqing was also frightened by Yan Bugui who was talking nonsense on the kang.
He said with lingering fear,
"You don't even need to tell me. When he gave me the fish the day before yesterday, I told him not to go fishing in the middle of winter.

Who knew this guy would get worse?

Yesterday, before we even got off work, he had already finished dinner and went out to go night fishing.
With this enthusiasm, even if I don't buy his fish, he will still sell it to others!"

Hearing that He Da had already advised him early in the morning, Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to say, so he just waved his hand and changed the subject.
“Hurry up!
I think Old Yan is seriously ill.
Let's dress him and carry him to Uncle Li. If the fever continues like this, his brain will be burned out."

"Okay, hurry up!" The three men helped Yan Bugui up from the kang and put clothes on him, while saying to Aunt Yan who was in a panic,

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and find the money at home, and come with us to the alley to find Uncle Li.

With Old Yan's condition, he still needs to get more medicine before he leaves.

You have to bring enough money.”

Seeing someone making a decision, Aunt Yan, who was at a loss just now, immediately nodded vigorously.

"Okay, okay, I'll take the money right away!"

Seeing Aunt Yan go to get the money, He Daqing glanced at He Yuzhu who was standing at the door.
"Zhu Zi, we will send Lao Yan to the Chinese medicine clinic later. You go to the central courtyard to cook. Don't delay me from going to work later."

"I know dad."

After saying this, He Yuzhu left the Yan family and went to the middle courtyard to make breakfast.
While He Yuzhu was cooking and chatting with the deaf old lady, He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai also came back from outside.

"Dad, what happened to Uncle Yan? He was fine when he came back yesterday, how come he suddenly had a high fever?"

When He Daqing heard his son ask this question, he looked strange.
"You have something to do with this matter."

If these words had not come from He Daqing, the father, He Yuzhu would have definitely retorted directly. He couldn't bear such a big blame.

But even He Daqing immediately asked,

"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't do anything. What does Uncle Yan's high fever have to do with me?"

"Didn't you tell Old Yan last night not to send fish home?

But Old Yan had been outside in the cold wind for two days in a row, and last night he was exposed to the night wind, so his body couldn't stand it anymore.

I am supported by the energy and spirit of making money.

Once you said this, he couldn't help but feel anxious and full of thoughts. He didn't fall asleep most of the night before, and he probably got a little cold again.
Look, I couldn’t get up this morning!

Tell me if this matter has anything to do with you."

Seeing that Yan Bugui could make such a big fuss just because he couldn't make any money, He Yuzhu was quite speechless.
Then he retorted,

"Dad, if you say so, I think it was me who saved Uncle Yan's life.
Who can eat all the fish he catches every day? He had to say this sooner or later, but with his physique, if he delayed for another two days, he might die.

If that's the case, Uncle Yan should thank me.

If it wasn’t me, he would have confessed.”

After listening to his son's statement, He Daqing thought it made sense and nodded with a smile.

"Too,
Old Yan really has to thank you. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have just spent a little money.
You might even lose your life!"

After the joke, He Daqing looked at the steamer on the pot and asked,

“Is the meal ready? If it’s ready, go call Yushui and Qingshan to come out for dinner. I’ll take Qingshan to school later.

Old Yan is so seriously ill that he will definitely not be able to go to work for a while."

When he heard him mention the money spent on Yan Bugui's medical treatment, He Yuzhu asked,

"Dad, how much did Uncle Yan spend on his medical treatment this time?"
