Chapter 186 Still Breathing
Xu Taohua, who was held in Xu Guihua's arms, had blood all over her face. The blood was flowing out from a big hole on her forehead, flowing down her cheeks, and soon dyeing the soil beneath her red.
"Cover her wound quickly!"
Xu Qinghai also became anxious. Seeing that Xu Guihua was just hugging the person and crying and shouting, he quickly scolded her loudly, grabbed a handkerchief that he didn't know what it was made of and threw it at her.
Gao, who had been crying and shouting, was also frightened by this scene. Even though her whole body was in excruciating pain, she did not dare to cry like before.
Xu Qingjiang looked even paler, and looked helplessly at his bleeding younger sister Xu Taohua.
It turned out that he had thrown the person out in a fit of rage. Maybe Xu Taohua was unlucky because her head hit the corner of the broken table, which immediately made a hole in her forehead. She fell limply to the ground.
If Xu Guihua hadn't seen that she hadn't gotten up for a long time, she would have bled to death if she had delayed any longer.
After such a big thing happened, the family had no time to quarrel or argue anymore.
Xu Qinghai went over and felt Xu Taohua's breath, and after a while he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing serious. She's still breathing, but her head is broken and she's bleeding a lot. I'll carry her back to the house and you can give her a good wash later."
He tore off a piece of cloth and tied the handkerchief around Xu Taohua's forehead, then picked her up and walked towards the small house next door.
Xu Guihua quickly agreed and followed him into the house.
It’s called a house, but it’s just a low shed blocked by a row of bamboos. There’s only enough space inside for a broken wooden board. This is where the Xu sisters live.
The other side of the bamboo partition was a little larger, with two wooden boards placed side by side inside, where Xu Qinghai lived with his three sons.
Xu Qingjiang's family from the third room lived on the other side of the shed, which was also divided into two halves. One side was used as a simple kitchen, and the other was where the family of three lived.
At this time, Gao was so scared that she pulled Xu Qingjiang and Xu Wenfeng into the small house and quickly closed the tattered wooden door.
Xu Qingjiang originally wanted to go and see Xu Taohua. No matter how noisy she was, she was still his biological sister and the youngest child in the family. Her brothers had loved her very much since she was young, which was why she had developed her current aggressive and unreasonable personality.
"What's so good about it? You treat her as a brother or sister, but she doesn't treat you as a family..."
Gao tightly grasped the hem of Xu Qingjiang's clothes, feeling angry and scared. In addition, she had indeed suffered a lot of grievances today, and she was now afraid. Tears fell one by one like beads from a broken string.
"She dared to tear her sister-in-law's clothes in front of everyone in the room. She didn't even take you, her brother, seriously... Wuuwuwu...the two sisters only wanted to curry favor with the eldest brother, so they didn't care about a useless brother like you..."
Gao sobbed softly and clutched Xu Qingjiang's clothes even tighter. Anyway, not to mention that the bitch was lucky enough to survive, even if she was hit to death today, it was her own bad luck and she couldn't blame anyone else.
Maybe God couldn't bear to see her, as a sister-in-law, dare to bully her sister-in-law like this, so he wanted to take her away?
The Xu family was noisy and noisy all night until midnight. If they didn't have several grown men and villagers living with them, the neighbors would have come to their door in dissatisfaction.
Xu Qinghe originally thought that he would have to wait for a while before hearing any news from the Xu family, but early the next morning, Zhang Dazhui came to report that Li Xiao had come to see him.
When they heard the news about the Xu family, Yuxiu and Cui became interested, so the three of them went to the front yard together.
Li Xiao was still wearing the same thin clothes today, but he looked much better than yesterday.
Seeing that the Xu family members including the women had come out, he immediately lowered his head and bowed to this side, then honestly told everyone what he had learned and the internal strife of the Xu family last night.
Because the housekeepers Zhang Wentang and Zhang Dazhu were both in the yard, and Cui was with her two little maids, Zisu and Furong, Xu Qinghe did not ask them to leave, so everyone listened in.
When everyone thought about the names of these people and the name of their host family, they immediately had some guesses in their minds and couldn't help but gasp.
"Haha... When there was a drought in my hometown, my whole family had to flee the famine. These two people took advantage of my carelessness and pushed me off the cliff. They also wanted to kill my wife and take my daughter away to exchange for food. I didn't expect that God would have eyes. These people did all kinds of bad things, but in the end they didn't get a good ending."
In order to prevent these people from making further wild guesses, Xu Qinghe simply told them all about his grievances with the Xu family, but he concealed the secret of his life experience.
Anyway, except for Li Xiao, everyone else is a servant of the Xu family. What's more, he was telling the truth, so even if the news got out, it would not have any impact on him.
Xu Qinghe's words stunned everyone. They thought that it was a good thing that their master was lucky enough to be rescued, and that their mistress was not a truly weak person, otherwise those evil people would have really succeeded.
Zhang Wentang had worked for a wealthy family before, and he had seen many cases of brothers fighting to the death, so he was not surprised.
Not to mention Li Xiao. Ever since his father died, the clan members have wanted to skin and eat him and his mother alive. The reason why his mother took him away so simply was because she was afraid that those people would be desperate and would want to kill him and his mother after getting their money.
So after hearing about the Xu family's story, even though he was a little surprised, he quickly figured it out.
The news had been passed on, and Li Xiao had to rush to work outside the city, so he planned to say goodbye and leave.
"Wait a minute, have you heard about building a kang? If you want to go, I can help put a call so you can go and learn. Although it's hard work, it's easier than moving stones."
Xu Qinghe stopped the man, and Cui and Yuxiu also agreed to give the young man some help.
Anyway, the government office has been bringing people to build kangs for people these days, so they always need manpower, so it doesn't matter who they use.
"Are you talking about the one that the government arranged for people to study?"
Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and he scratched his head dejectedly.
"I asked before, but they wanted to find experienced craftsmen. If I were a novice, I would have to find the way to go. I..."
In fact, there is no trick. It's either to find connections or to pay money, which are things he doesn't have.
"The master said it's definitely possible, what are you still hesitating about? Why don't you thank the master quickly..."
