At night, the wound hurt terribly. Zhan Laoer endured the pain and went through the incident in his mind. Under the dim light, his face looked sinister and terrifying.
How on earth did that bitch know that she had put the sweat medicine in the wontons, and even secretly changed it! Zhan Laoer clearly remembered that he drugged Zhan Feiyu when he saw him go out, but he was the one who got tricked in the end.
"Master, just let your parents go to the inn. Then this damn girl should stay here to take care of you." Little Yao felt sorry for Qianzi and was dissatisfied that he stayed in Huichun Hall to endure hardship and hardship, while Dafang's family of three went to the inn to sleep. .
"I'm so injured that I can only rely on my eldest brother in the family from now on." Zhan Laoer's tone was gloomy and strange, and he continued worriedly: "Da Lang is still studying, and next year San Lang will also go to a private school. Shu Xiu will cost twenty for one year. Two, this does not include the cost of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. If you take part in the imperial examination, you will need more money."
Seeing little Yao's pale face, Zhan Laoer sighed, "I still need to take medicine for my body. Once the work at the dock stops, I will have to haul bulk cargo in the future. Da Lang will be thirteen years old after the New Year." , it’s time to get married in two years, and all this money is money.”
In the past, Zhan Dalang studied alone, and the Zhan family's life was considered good in the village. But in September this year, Zhan Feiyu went to private school. Young Yao obviously felt that the food at home was much worse, and he could only eat dry food for lunch. .
Fearing that Xiao Yao's blow was not enough, Zhan Laoer said with a serious face, "You must not make trouble at home in the future, let alone get into trouble with your sister-in-law, and you must endure it even if you are wronged."
"Why?" Xiao Yao suddenly burst into flames. The overwhelming anger made her look ferocious, and she retorted sternly: "You were harmed by that dead girl, why should I bow to the big house?"
Little Yao had always been dissatisfied with Li's good reputation in the village and always wanted to suppress her. Now having her and even her two sons pretend to be grandsons and holding the big house was even more uncomfortable for her than killing little Yao.
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Even if I was harmed by Xiaoyu, my eldest brother still feels guilty for us. But as time goes by, after three or five years, eldest brother will only think that our second wife is a burden. By then, my parents will His heart will also be biased."
Zhan Laoer seemed to have been drained of energy. He held Xiao Yao's hand for three minutes and said, "For Da Lang and San Lang, I can only wrong you."
Little Yao felt as if he had been struck by lightning and could not imagine the future.
But she also knew that the second brother Zhan was not trying to scare her. The second wife could no longer make any money and had to take medicine to spend money. With her mother-in-law's mean temper, would the second wife still have a good life in the future?
"It can't be like this, it can't be like this." Little Yao shook his head in horror, looking at Zhan Laoer for help, like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood, "Master, your mind is spinning very fast, you want to think of something .”
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhan Lao Er saw that the time was almost up and said slowly: "We can only solve the problem in one fell swoop while our parents are still facing us and my eldest brother is still feeling guilty and blaming himself."
Early the next morning, no one else in the Zhan family fell asleep except Zhan Feiyu, who was very nervous. They drank a bowl of porridge at the inn to fill their stomachs and then hurried to Huichun Hall.
In the yard, Zhan Feiyu stared blankly at the IOU in her hand. She recognized the words, but after putting them together, Zhan Feiyu felt dazzled.
"No matter how much the medicine costs, our eldest brother will accept it." Boss Zhan said affirmatively. He thought about it all night last night. Although it was unexpected, in the final analysis, it was because Xiaoyu saved the blind woman that he harmed the second son.
Silver is what it should be.
Looking at the "innocent" boss Zhan with his big dark eyes, Zhan Feiyu said word by word: "Dad, this is an IOU for five hundred taels."
"What?" Boss Zhan suddenly turned his head to look at Zhan Feiyu, almost thinking that he had heard something wrong.
Li was also stunned, and a sarcastic sneer slowly appeared on her face. The second wife was really shameless, five hundred taels! Even if she tried to get divorced, she would not let Xiaoyu bear the debt of five hundred taels.
Old man Zhan and old lady Zhan were also dumbfounded. The old couple talked for a long time last night. In addition to cursing Zhan Feiyu for being a scourge, they also talked about money. No matter what, they must not let the second son suffer in vain.
.
But five hundred taels of silver? Even though Old Mrs. Zhan was greedy and selfish, she was also frightened now.
"What's wrong with five hundred taels? My second son almost lost his life. Isn't one life worth five hundred taels?" Xiao Yao yelled in a sharp voice, glaring at Zhan Feiyu and the others menacingly, "The old doctor said
The head of the family will have to take medicine from now on, and this is all medicine money!"
Boss Zhan looked at his silent parents and the fierce and unreasonable little Yao, wiped his face and said, "Brothers and sisters, five hundred taels is too much."
Zhan Lao Er was considered a capable person in the village, earning only ten taels of silver a year. Even if Zhan Lao Er accepted fifty taels of silver, it would take him seven or eight years to earn without eating or drinking.
But five hundred taels! Even if he sells Boss Zhan, he will never make so much money in his life.
Although Zhan Laoer was stabbed, he was still alive and well. In the past, when someone in the village died accidentally while going out to do part-time work, the owner's family only paid one hundred taels of silver.
"Dad, in addition to the five hundred taels of silver, it also says that after my second uncle turns fifty, in addition to the medical expenses, we will also need to pay one tael of silver every month as pension money.
The big house has to bear half of the money for the wife and the children." Zhan Feiyu finally understood why the second uncle asked them to sleep in an inn last night. It was to "teach" the second aunt how to compensate.
Looking at the gloomy-looking boss Zhan, Zhan Feiyu didn't have much sympathy. His father regarded his second uncle as a brother, but his second uncle wanted to kill himself and drain the eldest son of his blood.
Seeing the old doctor with sharp eyes, little Yao quickly walked over and grabbed his arm, "Old doctor, tell me, do I need to take good care of my boss?"
The old doctor nodded, "If you lose too much blood, you need to make up for it. You won't be able to do strenuous work in a short time."
As for how serious the lung disease is, the old doctor can't say now, but he must take medicine to cope with the chronic cough. Fortunately, he can still do lighter work.
Little Yao proudly raised his chin and shouted at Boss Zhan, "Brother, if you don't believe what I say, you should believe what the doctor says. The head of the family became sick, and it was all caused by this bitch. I will pay you five
One hundred taels is not much at all!”
"Five hundred taels?" The old doctor was startled and looked at the confident little Yao family in confusion. Why did this family still fall into the trap?
