After Liu Tong agreed, Wu Mei took Liu Qing out of the house. They planned to go to the village to inquire about the situation. By the way, they would invite a doctor home to check Xu Ran's wound. His mouth was bleeding. Both of them were worried whether he had been seriously injured,
They had just left the door when they saw someone running towards them in a hurry.
After they got close, they found it was Wu Lan, Wu Mei's younger brother. Like Wu Mei, he was married to the Xu Village from the Wu Village. Wu Mei and his younger brother had always been on good terms. They both grew up together and married to the same place together, which made them friends with Liu Tong together, too.
"Lan, why are you running in such a hurry? Anthing happened? "Wu Mei stopped Wu Lan and asked.
"I... I... I heard that Liu Tong was driven out of his house. Is he all right?" Wu Lan stood there with arms akimbo and asked while panting.
Wu Mei patted him on the back, "Don't worry. Liu Tong is in my house. He's fine."
After resting for a while, Wu Lan was a little relieved. He asked, "Bro, what's the matter? Today, I went to the town with Xu Zhen, but when we came back, we were told that Liu Tong was driven out of his house. In a hurry, I ran to Xu Houcai's house. However, I saw no one there. Later I was told that Liu Tong is in your house. "
Wu Mei sighed, "Alas, up till now, we don't know much about it. I also heard from others that Xu Houcai kicked out four of them without giving Xu Ran anything. I don't know how they will live in the future."
As Wu Mei mentioned this, they three couldn't help but frown. At the moment, Liu Tong and Xu Ran had nothing but a hungry family to feed. How could they live on?
Liu Qing was very sad, but he knew that the most important thing was to find a doctor to cure Xu Ran's injury first, so he interrupted the two brothers who were lost in their own grief,
"Alright, we'll talk about it later tonight. Now we'd better find a doctor first to see Xu Ran's injury. I am afraid that Liu Tong was also beaten today, though he didn't say anything about it."
"What? Xu Ran was injured? Xu Houcai, such an old bastard! How could he even beat his son, who is a fool? He is utterly devoid of conscience!"
Hearing this, Wu Lan got even more angry. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out to fight with that evil person.
Wu Mei quickly stopped him, "Lan, don't be so impulsive. This is others' family affair. We can't get involved in it. If we really do something to Xu Houcai and Xu Cheng, we will set tongues wagging. In the future, Liu Tong and Xu Ran may have a bad reputation in the village."
After listening to Wu Mei's words, Wu Lan also realized his impulse. He immediately calmed down and asked, "Bro, what can we do then? We can't let it be this way! "
"We'll talk about this after we get back. Later you'll summon Xu Zhen and Xu Fa to my house. We'll have a good discussion about it then. Now let's go to invite a doctor."
"Alright, Bro. Then you go with Qing for a docotr. I'll go home first and prepare some things for Liu Tong's family," with that, Wu Lan ran away .
Looking at Wu Lan's impetuous temperament, Wu Mei smiled, "What a boy! He's married but his character doesn't change."
Looking at Wu Lan's leaving back, Liu Qing also smiled, "There's nothing bad about it. You suppose everyone is like you?"
On thinking that if Wu Lan was the same as him, Wu Mei himself would not get used to it. So he smiled, "That's true."
At the moment, in Wu Mei's house, Liu Tong's family were eating quietly. Dahu and Yueya'er were also in the room, but they had already had lunch. They were just watching aside. After Tangtang and Guoguo finished eating, four children would play together. Liu Tong had invited them to have dinner together, but the two children shook their heads and refused politely.
Xu Ran thought that the kids in the countryside were really polite and unpretentious.
After the meal, Liu Tong cleared the table, and the two kids went out to play with their new friends. Liu Tong's shoulder had been violently hit by Xu Houcai, which was very hurting at the moment. Thus it was hard for him to work at this time.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Ran took the bowls from Liu Tong's hands and said, "Tongtong, let me do the washing. I know your shoulder hurts. You'll take a rest and see the doctor later."
"It's fine. Let me do it! You were also injured. There are only a few bowls. I can wash them quickly," Liu Tong insisted.
"No, your shoulder hurts," Xu Ran aslo insisted.
Liu Tong didn't want to annoy Xu Ran with only a few bowls, so he gave the job to him.
But still he was afraid that Xu Ran might not know how to wash the bowls. After all, he had never done anything in the past seven or eight years since he became a fool. However, when Liu Tong turned his head, he saw Xu Ran was washing seriously making the bowls very clean. Liu Tong smiled. 'How nice Ran is now!'
