Chapter 41 Apportionment of Debts

inside the house.

The doctor had already given Lu Feng the injection and also written down the prescription for the subsequent medication.

"doctor."

"Miss Lu, I'll leave this prescription to you. After you go to the city to get the medicine, boil the medicine and use it strictly according to the instructions above. Three to four days later, I will come for a follow-up visit. Of course, if your father recovers a little, he can come for a follow-up visit himself.

, that would be the best." The doctor told Lu Manman.

Lu Manman nodded and looked at the doctor gratefully: "Doctor, please calculate, how much more money should I give you?"

When it came to money, Lu Manman was extremely lucky. When the shopkeeper of the bookstore discussed the contract with her, she asked for one hundred taels. She originally planned to use the money to pay the villagers for helping to find Lu Feng, and the rest would be used for the future.

start-up capital. But now, this money has become Lu Feng’s life-saving money.

"There is no need to give you money for the time being. The man who was with you yesterday has met me several times, and I also know which college he studies in." The doctor said.

Man, studying in the academy?

Could it be that he was talking about Gu Heng, but why did he mention it on Gu Heng?

Lu Manman looked at the doctor in confusion.

"The girl's fiancé is a responsible man. He has already told me privately that he will bear the cost of treating your father even if he wants to." The doctor said.

Lu Manman was stunned and looked at the doctor with wide eyes. Is he really talking about Gu Heng? Is Gu Heng so considerate and kind?

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Gu Heng is now much less hostile to her, but that is all with a prerequisite. Moreover, from the beginning to now, she really did not think that Gu Heng would be the person who could help her.

"Brother Heng seriously said that he will bear the medical expenses of my man? We don't need to repay him?"

Xue Tong's voice interrupted Lu Manman's thoughts.

Lu Manman turned his head and looked at Xue Tong, who had appeared in the house at some point: "Are you finally willing to show up?"

Xue Tong glared at Lu Manman, but had no intention of talking to Lu Manman. She only looked at the doctor, wanting to confirm: "Brother Heng is really responsible for my man's medical expenses and medicine expenses, and we don't need any more money?

"

The doctor met Xue Tong's eyes. Is Xue Tong afraid of spending money? A flash of light flashed in his eyes. After all, this is someone else's business and it is not easy for him to get involved: "He only said that he is responsible for giving the money. It doesn't matter whether you take it or not."

Silver, I don’t know about that.”

Xue Tong's face was tangled, as she still didn't hear what she wanted to hear, she looked at Lu Feng and said nothing.

"Auntie, you might as well think on the bright side. If someone pays the money in advance, your men will not be left waiting to die." The doctor couldn't see it and said something.

"..." Xue Tong seemed not to hear anything and continued to look at Lu Feng.

Lu Manman frowned. She didn't agree with Xue Tong's reaction or what she said. She was about to tell the doctor that Gu Heng didn't need to take action. She had to take responsibility for her father when she heard:

"Xue Tong, my brother Heng is responsible for Lu Feng's medicine expenses. The diagnosis and treatment expenses are not much, but the money is quite a lot, and Lu Feng has two daughters." Gu Qin heard Xue Tong's words outside the house, and saw Xue Tong

Between the lines, he was concerned about whether they wanted to give money. This Lu Feng was their family, shouldn't it be natural for them to give money?

Lu Manman looked at Gu Qin who walked into the room, and didn't quite understand what Gu Qin's words meant.

Xue Tong looked at Gu Qin: "What do you mean?"

"Manman will be the daughter-in-law of my Gu family from now on, and her father will be Gu Heng's father. In times of crisis, my family will sell iron and scrape together everything to advance the expenses."

“Advanced payment?”

"Don't you want to repay it and let us, Brother Heng, pay for it alone?" Gu Qin frowned and looked straight at Xue Tong: "Lu Feng has two daughters, and the girl Yueyue is not bad in appearance. She will marry in the future.

She will definitely marry well. According to the doctor’s estimate of seventy taels of silver, if it’s not too much, my family will contribute fifty taels, and I will supplement my family’s 20 taels every month when I get married.”

"Twenty taels?" Xue Tong shouted and looked at Gu Qin in disbelief: "Do you know how much twenty taels is? My family will get married every month. With the current situation of the family, the dowry is almost gone.

, how can I still supplement you with another twenty taels?"

"Although it is twenty taels to supplement my family, this money is for her biological father's medical treatment." Gu Qin was actually unwilling to say this, but she went home with Gu Heng last night and offered to lend Lu Feng money for his treatment.

When he was sick, Gu Heng mentioned that Lu Manman and Lu Yueyue should share the expense.

She actually didn't quite understand why Gu Heng had to mention it like this. Maybe it was because the fee was really too expensive.

But now that she brought it up, she realized that it didn't seem to be the case.

"Twenty taels is too much, Mrs. Qin, since your family has money, why don't you all go out?" Xue Tong said anxiously.

"Xue Tong, you don't know what's going on in my family. If we can afford fifty taels of silver, that's already our limit, and we can't pay off our debts." As soon as the words came out, Gu Qin looked at Lu Manman.

She probably knew they were selling ginseng, so she wouldn't expose her and wouldn't think too much about it, right?

Xue Tong opened her mouth. She naturally knew that the situation of Gu Heng's family was no better than hers: "No matter what, twenty taels is too much."

"That fifty taels is not much?" Gu Qin glared at Xue Tong with dissatisfaction, and then looked at Lu Yueyue: "Yueyue, you are the most sensible, aunt asked you, in order to save your father, you took on a debt of twenty taels

Are you willing?"

Lu Yueyue opened her mouth, twenty taels, that was really too much. She wanted to refuse, but Gu Qin was looking at her. If she refused, Gu Qin would probably think she was unfilial: "Auntie, I..."

"Since Lu Yueyue and I are two sisters, and my father is ours, the cost of treating him is naturally half of each of us. But considering that I am the eldest son in the family, I am responsible for my father's daily food, which is only seventy taels.

Lu Yueyue and I will share half of the diagnosis and treatment fee plus medicine fee, thirty-five taels each." Lu Manman spoke with determination. If she was surprised by Gu Qin's proposal at first, she figured it out later. The two daughters,

Since they are of the same age, it is fair for each person to bear half of the debt.

Looking at the attitude of Xue Tong and her daughter towards Lu Feng, she was really angry. Inexplicably, she just wanted Lu Yueyue to contribute some money.

"Lu Manman, what are you talking about here?" Lu Yueyue suddenly looked at Lu Manman with a shocked tone.

Lu Manman saw that Lu Yueyue and Xue Tong were looking at her at the same time. Although they were different people, they looked at her as if they wanted to eat her alive. From this look, she felt that she could not take advantage of them.

She looked at Gu Qin, who offered to lend them money. She was afraid that Gu Heng had not told Gu Qin that she still had one hundred taels given by the shopkeeper of Zhiyuan Bookstore.

Based on reality, Lu Manman decided not to reveal his wealth for the time being.

"Auntie, please help us advance the money first. I'll go find the village official soon and ask him to help write us an IOU. Lu Yueyue and I each owe you thirty-five taels."
