At the door of Chen's house, Mrs. Li had been scolding her for a long time. She wanted to make Mr. Yang spit out the two taels of silver. As for the money for the decoction and medicine, she knew that the Chen family would not be able to pay it.
Chen Mingyi had already made a fuss at home, but finally he had no choice but to come forward and invite Mrs. Li to come in to talk, and forced Mrs. Yang to take out two taels of silver.
Li said angrily, "My man has suffered such a big loss, and it's all because of you. Why don't you pay for the soup and medicine?"
Yang rushed over with his hands on his hips, "You are being unreasonable. Your man is a hunter. How can he not get injured when hunting all year round? This time it is just his own bad luck. How can he blame me? If he had the ability, he would really
If you beat that leopard, your family won't be able to earn hundreds of taels of silver, right?"
"Bah, you are just making fun of me. Can a human tame a leopard? If you hadn't spoken softly, my man wouldn't have been deceived." Mrs. Li was not afraid at all. She had disliked Mr. Yang for a long time.
The two argued for several rounds. Chen Mingyi felt uncomfortable and stood up and said, "Ms. Li, my eldest daughter-in-law doesn't want to see such a thing happen. It's not like she asked the leopard to bite someone. This is just an accident.
The twenty taels of silver they collected are also given to you, so don’t go too far, they are all from the same village, so don’t hurt the harmony.”
Mrs. Li originally didn't want to get back the money for the decoction and medicine. When Chen Mingyi spoke, she stopped. "I just want to give Uncle Chen a face and not be as knowledgeable as her. But your family members are also optimistic about it. Don't think about getting money from my family."
To make money, my man knows how to go hunting in the mountains, so there is no need for you to pretend to be kind."
After Mrs. Li left, Chen Mingyi banged the table and said, "You bastards, you two bastards have really smeared the Chen family. Zhongda will be admitted to Yueshan Academy soon. If people know that his parents are...
Can a profit-seeking person have a good reputation?"
Chen Hongchang was dissatisfied, "Why is it just profit-seeking? We saw Leopard selling information to him with our own eyes. He had no ability to steal the chicken but lose the rice. How can he blame us? If you ask me, he shouldn't pay back the money.
."
"Isn't it good to cause trouble if you don't pay back the money?" Chen Mingyi was furious, "Sure enough, getting involved with Zhong Qian and the others won't do any good, it's all harm, so don't go there."
Yang said, "Dad, we still have to go to Zhong Qian for the sake of our family's livelihood. Didn't you listen to what Li said? Wu Mazi spent dozens of taels on medicine. In order to save Wu Mazi's life, he even
I gave Lin Joy dozens of taels of silver."
Wu was confused just now, "Is Wu Mazi stupid? He actually gave money to Lin Hexi to treat her illness. I think it was Li who made this nonsense just to get money."
Yang waved her hand, "No, it's really not the case. Although I don't know whether Wu Mazi gave Lin Yuyi dozens of taels of silver, but I went out this morning and heard someone say that it was indeed Lin Yuxi who treated Wu Mazi's injuries last night.
I heard that even Dr. Li from the neighboring village couldn't stop the bleeding, but Lin Yuxi was really cured."
Several members of the Chen family began to wonder, Lin Xixi could cure diseases? They had never heard of it before.
Chen Hongchang said, "Who cares, even if it's not a few dozen taels of silver, it must have been given to me. Mom and dad, go find Lin Joy and ask for it. You are her grandparents, how can she be unfilial?"
I have to say that Chen Mingyi and Wu were really tempted.
It was already difficult for the family to distribute so many things. Chen Zhongda was about to take the Yueshan Academy exam. In the past two years, he began to take the imperial exam, which all costs money.
"Old man, how about I go take a look?" Wu was still thinking about the dozens of taels of silver.
Chen Mingyi said nothing, got up and went back to the house. Wu understood that this was acquiescence, and he would not get angry if she asked Chen Zhongqian to ask for money.
On the other side, a family of four finished washing their clothes, and one person took some things and walked home. Finally, the clothes were dried, and it was time to make lunch again.
Lin Yuxi planned to make some stir-fries for lunch. The weather was hot and she didn’t want to eat so much meat.
Chen Zhongqian helped her choose vegetables as usual, and Lin Yuxi suddenly said, "What they said really reminded me."
"What?"
Lin Yuxi put down the kitchen knife, "This house is indeed too shabby. It's just one room, and the kitchen is open in the open. It doesn't look like it. Let's build a new house?"
Chen Zhongqian hesitated for a moment, but seeing her eyes full of expectation, he nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go to the village chief tomorrow and ask if it can be repaired."
Lin Huiyi glanced at the two children who were practicing throwing stones, and approached him and asked, "You didn't seem to want to agree just now. Is it possible that you are addicted to living in this broken house?"
Chen Zhongqian smiled and said, "No, I was just thinking about whether I had enough money."
After he said it, Lin Huihe believed it and just kept counting the money in his hands.
The medical fees I got separately from yesterday were two big sums.
The money I usually earn from selling herbal medicines and manuscripts is almost the same as my family's expenses. Roughly speaking, I can have one hundred taels of silver, which is more than enough to repair the house.
"How about it, is that enough?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "That's enough. Twenty taels can make you practice very grandly."
The two of them were very quick, and they just put the plan to repair the house on a daily basis, with just a few words.
Lin Xixi turned around and went back to cooking, while Chen Zhongqian was thinking while choosing vegetables.
Does she really want to stay with him?
Although they have been married for five years, they have never been married. She is good-looking and young. If she doesn't want to stay with him, she can marry a divorcee.
He had thought about this possibility in his heart, so when she excitedly proposed to build a house, he hesitated for a moment. Is she really willing to have a real home with me?
The idea of proposing divorce has been in his mind countless times, and he has been thinking about it a few years ago.
He didn't want to drag her down or delay her, and he was even looking for a suitable husband for her. If one day he was gone, at least she wouldn't have to live so hard.
But now, those few words cannot be uttered.
The small house, her always smiling, and the children always playing.
He is very sure in his heart that this is what he wants to keep now, and his health is gradually getting better. Maybe in the future they... can really become a loving couple?
Chen Zhongqian had developed the habit of going to the yard to exercise when he had time. In the evening, Mrs. Wu was going to come to ask for money. When she got outside the yard, she happened to see Chen Zhongqian sitting in the yard and breathing heavily.
His face turned red, big beads of sweat kept falling, and he was breathing heavily, as if he couldn't breathe.
Xiaoduo brought a glass of water over and said, "Daddy, drink some water."
Chen Zhongqian took a sip and coughed violently. Xiaoduo quickly patted him on the back. He couldn't breathe, and he was choking. His face was red from holding it in, as if he was about to die soon.
