Chapter 1950 Shen Qiushan is going to hold a ginseng king conference
Shen Qiushan was a man who valued money over life. Seeing his priceless treasure destroyed, he lost his temper and slapped his son so hard that he couldn't move his neck.
Shen Zhigang grinned and let out a howl, and chaos instantly erupted inside and outside the house.
"Son!" Wang Guixia rushed over, forcefully pushed Shen Qiushan away, hugged Shen Zhigang tightly, and subconsciously reached out to support the child's head.
"Ah!" Shen Zhigang screamed when Wang Guixia's hand touched his chin.
At this moment, Song Dai Kui's wife grabbed his arm and shouted, "What are you still looking at? Hurry up and go find Old Wu!"
Song Daikui turned and ran outside, while a fierce battle broke out inside the house.
When Wang Guixia saw her son cry out in pain, she got up and went to grab Shen Qiushan.
At this moment, Shen Qiushan was looking at the sapling in his hand with great heartache.
The tip of this sapling had rotted from being soaked in water, but if Shen Qiushan had been there when Shen Zhigang pulled the sapling out of the tree hole, he would have definitely noticed something was wrong.
However, Shen Qiushan was not present at the time. He did not realize that this was a trap set for him, and only thought that the stem was like this because the child had rubbed it.
Just then, Shen Qiushan felt a sharp pain on his face as Wang Guixia left three marks on his face with her claws.
"I'm pretty!" Shen Qiushan, feeling both distressed and angry, raised his hand and slapped Wang Guixia, making her spin halfway around before she fell to the side.
"Qiushan, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Song Daikui's wife quickly went over to help Wang Guixia.
Upon seeing this, Shen Wanglin and the others hurriedly stepped forward to pull up the account book.
“Shen Qiushan, my beautiful ancestor…” Wang Guixia, sitting on the ground, pointed at Shen Qiushan and swore at him.
This woman is no pushover. When Zhao Jun came to the Shen family to collect a debt in his previous life, Shen Qiushan not only refused to pay but also released Wang Guixia, resulting in Zhao Jun being scratched by her.
Wang Guixia was not only ruthless to outsiders, but also cruel to Shen Qiushan.
It's rare for a married couple to live together peacefully; even the lid of a pot sometimes bumps against the edge.
Shen Qiushan and Wang Guixia had only been married a short time when the young couple started fighting. They first exchanged insults, and then began to physically assault each other.
No matter how fierce Wang Guixia was, she was ultimately no match for Li Tongyun or Xie Sunshi. She couldn't beat Shen Qiushan and ended up getting slapped twice by him.
Then, the woman rushed out of the house, stood at the front door, and started cursing Shen Qiushan's parents, then his great-grandfather and great-grandmother, and then back again.
These actions, though not particularly harmful, have caused Shen Qiushan to lose face in the forest area.
These days, people's living standards are generally not high, but most families still value face.
Shen Qiushan was filled with shame after what had happened, and he immediately wanted to go out and drag Wang Guixia home.
But as soon as he stepped out of the room, Wang Guixia ran away from outside the courtyard. The woman went straight to the forest farm, and at the gate, she pointed out Shen Qiushan and all his immediate family members, and cursed them dozens of times.
From then on, Shen Qiushan dared not provoke her.
Today, Shen Qiushan was furious and lost his temper, hurling insults at Wang Guixia.
Shen Wanglin and the others pulled and dragged Shen Qiushan to the east room, where Wang Guixia got up, hugged her son, and then burst into tears.
Just as Song Daikui's wife was about to say a few words of advice to Wang Guixia, her daughter threw herself into her arms.
Song Daikui's wife couldn't just abandon her own daughter, so she planned to send her back to the west courtyard and then come back to comfort Wang Guixia.
But as soon as she stepped outside, she saw Song Daikui enter with an old man with white hair and a white beard.
"Uncle Wu!" Upon seeing the old man, Song Daikui's wife quickly said, "Come inside and check on the child!"
The old man didn't speak and quickly walked into the west room of the Shen family. At this moment, Shen Wanglin and the others from the east room came over one after another.
After the old man entered the house, he patted Wang Guixia on the shoulder.
Wang Guixia turned her head and saw that it was the old man. She burst into tears.
The old man frowned, reached out and gestured for Wang Guixia to move aside.
Seeing this, Song Daikui's wife quickly went over and pulled Wang Guixia aside.
With Wang Guixia out of the way, the old man stepped forward, placed one hand on the child's head, and gently pinched the child's chin with the other. He tentatively moved the child, and the child let out a soft "ah".
The old man let go, grabbed the child's waist with both hands, and pulled him towards the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
At this moment, the child's back was to the old man. The old man put his right arm around the child's right shoulder, his forearm passed under the child's chin, and gently supported the child's neck with his other hand.
Then the old man wrapped his left arm around the child's head, and with lightning speed, he used both hands to push the child's head to the right and then pulled it back. With a crisp "crack," the child's head was back in place.
"Ah, ah," the child cried out twice, then turned to look at Wang Guixia and shouted, "Mom!"
Seeing that the child was well, Wang Guixia rushed over, cupped the child's little face in her hands, and gently tried to get the child to turn his head to the left and right.
"Guixia, what are you looking at?" At this moment, Shen Wanglin called out to Wang Guixia, "Don't you trust your Uncle Wu?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Guixia looked at the old man surnamed Wu. The old man was smiling at her. Wang Guixia suddenly remembered the old man's way of doing things, and quickly took out some money from her pocket and said to the old man, "Grandpa, thank you so much. You see... I can't let you work for nothing."
That was a rather blunt statement, but the old man smiled and waved his hand. Looking at the money Wang Guixia had taken out—five-yuan, two-yuan, and one-yuan bills, along with some small change—the old man laughed and said, "Oh, alright, just give me two yuan!"
The old man said only this one sentence from the moment he entered the Shen family's house.
Two yuan is quite a lot. But Wang Guixia knew what kind of person this old man was. If she dared to refuse, she wouldn't be able to hire him again next time, even if she spent two hundred yuan.
"Grandpa, thank you for your trouble." Wang Guixia offered the two yuan, but out of a mother's concern for her children, she still asked the old man with some worry, "Grandpa, I hope there won't be any more problems with my child's neck."
The old man shook his head and said, "No, the child's bones are too soft; they'll straighten out if you straighten them!"
After saying that, the old man stuffed the money into his pocket and turned to leave.
At this moment, Shen Qiushan was standing on tiptoe and craning his neck to peek into the west room from the outer courtyard of the Shen family's house.
After being dragged to the east room by Shen Wanglin, several members of the Shen family gang began to persuade him. They said that for such a valuable treasure, it didn't matter whether it had ginseng roots or not, since it would have to be opened up when sold anyway. They added that it didn't matter if it had ginseng roots or not, as long as there was ginseng inside.
Shen Qiushan firmly believed there was ginseng inside. Even after placing the tree stumps on the mountain, when Shen Qiushan looked inside from above, he didn't see any ginseng, but he did see a dark mass inside.
Shen Qiushan never imagined that someone would plot against him, so when he didn't see the ginseng, he didn't think it was fake. He figured that the tree trunk couldn't be completely bare; the ginseng must be at the bottom, and the stem must be peeking out from the crack.
There are no seedlings now, but the ginseng is still here. Even without seedlings, it is still priceless.
As Shen Qiushan gradually regained his senses, he felt both regret and fear. He regretted hitting his son, fearing that he had really hurt him; he also regretted hitting Wang Guixia, fearing that Wang Guixia would cause trouble for him later.
Seeing that Old Wu had straightened Shen Zhigang's neck, Shen Qiushan breathed a sigh of relief and greeted the old man who came out, saying with a smile, "Uncle Wu, thank you for going through all this trouble!"
"Damn it!" The old man looked at Shen Qiushan and said angrily, "Are you a fucking idiot, hitting a child like that!"
Shen Qiushan said nothing, only saw the old man out the door, and then called Song Daikui, Shen Wanglin and others to continue drinking in the house.
With his family in such a mess, who would want to drink with him? Song Daikui and the others took their leave one after another. Shen Qiushan stood in the courtyard for more than two minutes before quickly going inside.
After entering the house, Shen Qiushan closed the door and went into the west room. When Wang Guixia gave him a fierce look, Shen Qiushan whispered to Shen Zhigang, "You little brat, do you even know how much that club costs? That club can be exchanged for a hundred toy cars!"
Shen Qiushan thought that by saying this, Wang Guixia's attention would shift to money. But at this moment, Wang Guixia, just like Shen Qiushan when he attacked his wife and children, had also lost her mind.
A cold glint flashed in Wang Guixia's eyes, and she suddenly leaped forward, grabbed the thermos bottle from the square table against the wall, and swung it directly at Shen Qiushan's head.
These days, thermos flasks are mostly made of metal, with iron being the most common.
The one Wang Guixia is swinging is made of iron. Because it doesn't keep the room warm, it was left unused and placed in the west room.
Shen Qiushan's expression froze instantly after being hit on the head, and he stared wide-eyed at Wang Guixia.
When people are extremely angry, they lose their rationality. But once they have vented their anger, their rationality will automatically return.
As soon as the thermos was swung out, Wang Guixia's anger dissipated, and her rationality returned.
But then, Shen Qiushan rolled his eyes, bent his legs, and slumped to the side, collapsing to the ground and remaining motionless.
Immediately afterwards, blood began to flow from Shen Qiushan's hairline.
"His dad! His dad!" Wang Guixia was shocked when she saw this. She rushed over and pushed Shen Qiushan. When Shen Qiushan did not react, Wang Guixia got up and ran outside.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhigang, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), burst into loud sobs.
The old houses in Northeast China are not soundproof, especially in the summer when the front and back windows are open. When Shen Zhigang cried, the Song Daikui family of three in the west courtyard could hear it.
"What's wrong now?" Song Daikui wanted to go over and see what was going on when he heard the noise, but was stopped by the woman who was boiling water and cooking noodles in the outer room.
But the next second, Wang Guixia shouted hoarsely, "Da Kui! Da Kui, come quick!"
Hearing this, Song Daikui's wife frowned. She threw the rag she was using to wipe the pot lid onto the stove and called out to the door, "Xia, what's wrong now?"
"Lijuan!" Wang Guixia cried out, "Come and help me, Da Kui! My Zhigang's father is lying on the ground."
Upon hearing this, Song Daikui and his wife quickly left the house and followed Wang Guixia to the east courtyard.
Upon entering the Shen family's house in the east courtyard, Song Daikui saw Shen Qiushan lying on the ground with blood on his forehead, while Shen Zhigang on the kang (a heated brick bed) was crying loudly.
"What happened?" Song Daikui blurted out, and Shen Zhigang, sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), casually replied, "My dad died!"
"Huh?" Song Daikui and his wife were shocked, and Wang Guixia was also stunned.
Song Daikui was the first to react. He went over and checked that Shen Qiushan was breathing. He quickly said to Wang Guixia, "Guixia, Qiushan isn't dead. You stay here and watch over him. I'm going to find Doctor Liu!"
After saying that, Song Daikui ran out of the house, leaving two women to try to help Shen Qiushan onto the kang (a heated brick bed), but they couldn't budge him at all.
Not long after, Song Daikui arrived with Dr. Liu from the forest farm's medical clinic.
Doctor Liu, Song Daikui, and Wang Guixia helped Shen Qiushan onto the kang (a heated brick bed). Doctor Liu had Song Daikui and Wang Guixia take turns calling Shen Qiushan's name while he treated Shen Qiushan's wounds.
After Doctor Liu finished treating the wound, Shen Qiushan was still unconscious. Doctor Liu solemnly took Shen Qiushan's hand and gently pinched the web between his thumb and index finger.
"Uh, um..." Shen Qiushan slowly woke up and opened his eyes, only to see more than a dozen people surrounding him.
These people were all moving, so much so that Shen Qiushan was dazzled. It took him a lot of effort to distinguish that among these dozen or so people, there were four or five Song Daikui, four or five Doctor Liu, and four or five Wang Guixia.
He was seeing double, and then his head throbbed with unbearable pain, causing him to scream in agony.
Dr. Liu quickly gave Shen Qiushan two painkillers and then gave him an anti-inflammatory injection.
Finally, Dr. Liu took out a packet of homemade black pills and handed it to Wang Guixia, instructing her to take two of these if the painkillers didn't work, but never more.
Then observe him overnight. If Shen Qiushan is not better by the next morning, quickly contact the forest farm to send him to the hospital.
When Wang Guixia returned home, she looked at Shen Qiushan lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) with his eyes closed, humming softly, and tears streamed down her face.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jun and the others who were living in shacks in the mountains had already gone to bed on their kang (heated brick bed).
Zhang Yuanmin built this kang (heated brick bed) quite well; after it was heated, the whole shack was warm and cozy.
The Zhao family helped lay out the mattresses and then sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) chatting.
Li Baoyu vividly described Zhao Jun's arrangements for the day, making everyone burst into laughter.
"Brother!" Even Zhang Yuanmin praised Zhao Jun, saying, "This plan is brilliant. I concede defeat to you, brother."
"Oh dear." Zhao Jun sighed and shook his head, "The key issue is that I can buy him a day with this thing. Regardless of whether he finds out it's true or not, he'll still be chasing us tomorrow."
"Damn it!" Ma Sheng kicked Ma Yang's leg angrily, then said furiously, "There's no one here yet!"
Ma Yang stared blankly at his older brother. Ma Sheng, realizing what was happening, awkwardly turned to Zhao Jun and asked, "Jun, do you think there are any other ideas?"
Today was Ma Sheng's first time going out to graze in the mountains with the Zhao family gang. He not only broadened his horizons but also managed to graze several wild ginseng seedlings. This gave him a lot of confidence and fighting spirit, and he was afraid that Shen Qiushan and his men would interfere.
"Tsk!" Zhao Jun clicked his tongue and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be like this when I came out. If I had known, I would have brought some things from home, made a seventh-grade leaf for him, and buried it there for him to put away."
……
As it turns out, the Zhao family's worries were unnecessary.
Shen Qiushan didn't get out of bed on the second day. He had vomited all night and was feeling better today, but he was still dizzy and unable to get out of bed.
Shen Qiushan also instructed Wang Guixia to take the tree trunk to the cellar.
The tree trunk weighed about 200 pounds. Wang Guixia said she couldn't move it, but Shen Qiushan insisted that she had to move it and that no one else could be asked to do it.
Wang Guixia then painstakingly carried the tree trunk into the cellar.
When she returned, Wang Guixia wiped her sweat and complained to Shen Qiushan. Shen Qiushan replied, "Stop nagging. Go to the forestry station and call Old Chen Erge."
"Call a phone?" Wang Guixia was taken aback. "To take you to the hospital?"
"Which hospital should we send him to?" Shen Qiushan struggled to get up and start cursing, but he was still drowsy. After lying down, he said to Wang Guixia in an annoyed tone, "Go call Fifth Uncle and tell him to hold another 'King of Ginseng' meeting!"
