Chapter 1621 Bear With It
"Go in and do a search!" Zhao Kuo roared.
Everyone rushed into the courtyard and turned Zhao Liu's house upside down. Zhao Kai and Zhao Kun were so scared that they hid in a corner and did not dare to make a sound. They did not know what was going on.
Zhao Ming walked into the house arrogantly and asked, "Where's your father? Where did he go!"
"My father... My father didn't come home last night! We don't know anything! We haven't even left this house!" Zhao Kai said fearfully.
"Can you swear you're telling the truth?" Zhao Ming asked.
"Yes, we swear! It's the truth! If there's any lie, the two of us brothers will be struck by lightning!" Zhao Kun mustered up his courage and swore.
"Second Uncle, if my elder brother didn't come back last night, that must mean he has run off with Li Gui. I don't think the two of them have gone far. Let's search along this road! We'll definitely be able to catch them! Capturing Li Gui is the most important thing now!" Zhao Ming said agitatedly.
All the villagers went out together to look for Zhao Liu and Li Gui. Zhao Liu was usually such a lazy bum, so he definitely would not be able to go far with a frail woman by his side. Moreover, Zhao Liu's intention was to do something shameful, so he would not go too far.
Zhao Kai and Zhao Kun wanted to go forward to carry Zhao Liu. At the same moment, Zhao Tu said, "Do we have the money to treat him?"
Everyone fell silent. Each family did not even have rice now, what more money. For them, seeing a doctor now was a very extravagant thing.
"Zhao Tu! What do you mean by that! You don't intend to save my father?" Zhao Kai said angrily.
"Do you have enough money to pay for his treatment! His head is injured! It's the most difficult part of the body to treat! You might not be able to treat it even if you spend a lot of money! If we give you the money, how are you going to repay us! Every family can't afford to eat now and you don't have anything to use as collateral. Besides, no one wants to accept your things now!" Zhao Tu said.
In the beginning, everyone was still worried about Zhao Liu's safety, but by now, the looks in their eyes had changed. They no longer seemed so anxious when they looked at Zhao Liu. Some people were afraid of being implicated and secretly ran home.
Zhao Kuo stood there and thought for a moment before he sighed and said, "Kai, bring your father home. It must be Li Gui who hit him! Let's ask them for money first. When we have money, we'll send your father for treatment."
"But my father can't wait that long! Second Grandpa, please help our family!" Zhao Kai said sadly.
"It's not that I don't want to help your family, but everyone is in a difficult situation now. Your father won't die yet. Bring him back and take good care of him. He can still survive for a few days." Zhao Kuo left after saying that and everyone else also left with him, leaving Zhao Kai and Zhao Kun with the unconscious Zhao Liu.
"Elder Brother, are we still going to the hospital?" Zhao Kun asked.
"How can we! Let's go home!" An impatient Zhao Kai carried Zhao Liu on his back and walked towards the house.
He had absolutely no intention of bringing Zhao Liu to the hospital at all. He was just putting on an act so that he could cheat the villagers of some money.
