630 I don't intend to endure it

Huo Zhi's face darkened: "Mother, if you still care about father, you don't have to be unreasonable now. Let me see father first, and then you can kick me out of the Huo family. I've had enough of this Huo family."

Mrs. Huo was also shocked.

She looked at her hands and then at her youngest son. She had never been that close to this son, but she had never hit him either.

The eldest son was in danger, and her husband had this incident. She was so angry that she did this. But couldn't a mother teach her son a lesson? She just looked at her with a dark face and even said that she wanted to split the family.

The master is right. This son has been spoiled by his parents-in-law since he was young. How could he have any respect for his parents?

Mrs. Huo was also shocked. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to take direct action.

Huo Zhi's face looked very ugly.

"You don't want to give it to me? Then I'll leave."

Huo Zhi was about to turn around when the court doctor grabbed him and said, "Master, why are you still arguing at this time? What has happened to the master?"

Huo Zhi looked at his father. His father's mouth and nose were crooked, and he was staring out the door. He was drooling and his throat was gurgling.

My father had a serious stroke.

He stopped talking and went forward to provide first aid.

…

Half an hour later.

Huo Zhi stood up and said, "Doctor Li, I'll have someone boil some medicine. Don't worry about anything else for now. Just focus on taking care of the master. I'm not very familiar with this disease, but fortunately, the eldest son Sun Sicheng will be here soon. The master's illness will definitely be cured."

"Yes, Boss." Doctor Li was also sad. He learned his medical skills from the old man. He has been in the mansion for so many years and has seen everything. The master and the mistress were really too harsh on the Boss.

Huo Zhi told Huo Wu beside him to boil the medicine, and then walked out.

"Huo Zhi, stop right there. Why don't you ask about your elder brother? Are you a black heart? He's your own brother."

Huo Zhi said coldly: "Brother? I thought only my eldest brother was your biological son, and I was just an adopted child.

Mother, what did I do wrong?

Stop the big brother? Are you kidding? In the face of floods, can a county magistrate ignore the people of the entire county?

If he really takes care of himself temporarily, the emperor might kill him directly and sentence the three members of our Huo family to exile three thousand miles away? Aren't you worried about this?

If I really don't want to be an official, I should have resigned long ago, or I shouldn't have been reinstated while in mourning for my grandfather.

In your and father's hearts, my eldest brother is the only one who is your biological son. Whatever I do is wrong. No matter how tired or hard I work, you can't see it.

I will treat my father, and I will send people to inquire about my eldest brother's affairs. Once the disaster is under control, we can divide the family. I will move out with my wife and children. If you want Huashou Hall, I can give it to you."

Huo Zhi strode out without looking back.

He's had enough of these years.

He is in charge of all matters, big and small, in the Huo family, including the mess his father makes every now and then and his mother's complaints.

His eldest brother treated him well, but he was only focused on his official duties and would not help him with any of the household chores.

The eldest sister-in-law was not a good one. She had a cold relationship with his wife and was polite but distant to their second wife. However, she coaxed her parents very well and held the housekeeper's power firmly in her hands. For this, she was even reluctant to go to the county town where her husband lived, and would rather let the eldest brother take the concubine she gave him.

Huo Zhi raised his face and let the drizzle wet his face.

At this time, he missed Ping An more and more. He had always wanted Ping An to come to Jiangnan, but now he wanted to take his wife and children and rush to the capital without caring about anything else.

Behind him, Mrs. Huo was shaking with anger, and said to her eldest daughter-in-law, "Look at him, look at him, at this time, with his father having a stroke and his eldest brother trapped by the water, he actually wants to propose a division of the family.

Divide the family? Divide what family? There are only two brothers in the family, and his elder brother is an official. If he doesn't take over the family business, who will?"

Huo Hu lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The family property cannot be divided.

Her father-in-law is a confused person, but his medical skills are pretty good. Before, her grandfather was in charge of the family, and now it's her uncle. Only because of this, the Huo family can be stable and wealthy, and her husband can be an official safely.

Her eldest son was only ten years old and her second son was only five years old. She touched the baby in her belly and knew that it would be born in another three months.

How much money will three children need in the future? How much money does a county magistrate earn in a year? It's not even enough for my husband's pocket money.

She would never let her husband or son do business. After all, being a businessman is not as powerful as being an official.

But being an official also requires money. Huashoutang suffered heavy losses this time. If the uncle continues to abandon it, the Huo family will soon collapse, and the title of the number one medical family in Jiangnan will soon fall into the hands of someone else.

"Mother, please don't get too angry. Father is already like this, and my husband is not safe now. Don't make my uncle angry at this time. My husband and father-in-law are still relying on him for rescue.

Besides, how can this family be divided? My husband is a career official, and your eldest and second grandsons are also very good at studying. They may become officials in the future, and the family business still depends on my uncle to support it. "

Mrs. Huo snorted coldly. What her youngest son said was not without reason, but he was her son. Could it be that he could not bear a little grievance? Wasn't she just worried about her eldest brother?

In the final analysis, it is still a cold-hearted person, and what my husband said is right.

Huo Zhi went out to inquire and found out that there had been a flash flood in the county where his eldest brother lived, which had submerged several villages. Even the road back to the city was flooded, and the carriages could not move forward, and there was no way out. His father became like this when he was anxious.

Although he was angry, Huo Zhi sent a few guards to try to find his elder brother, while he rushed to the government office. He wanted to look for Wang Qing. Wang Qing had been transferred to Yuhang Prefecture as the magistrate a year ago, so he might know more about these things.

Huo Zhi thought of Ping An again.

If things go well, they should be here in another six or seven days.

At this time, Wang Qing was extremely anxious. A group of officials were discussing the resettlement of the victims in the hall. There were already tens of thousands of victims pouring into the city gate, and their food, drink, defecation and urination were a big problem.

Now Qingshan County is suffering from serious landslides. Several villages are surrounded by floods and even the county seat has been cut off. How can these villagers be evacuated and how can they be resettled after being evacuated?

Suddenly, a runner from the yamen came to report that many people in a village under Qionglin County had suddenly fallen ill, and two people had died.

The village was not seriously affected by the disaster, but the village was poor and the villagers had to salvage furniture and even dead pigs that had floated down the river from upstream for household use.

It is very likely that these sick people ate the food that was fished out, especially the dead pigs.

This news shocked everyone.

A word came to almost everyone's mind: plague.

Magistrate Huang collapsed on the spot and lost consciousness.

Despite taking every possible precaution, including sending many yamen runners to every village and town to beat gongs to emphasize that people should not eat dead things in the river, they still ate them.

Ou Tongzhi hurriedly asked someone to find a doctor.

Just at this moment, a yamen runner came to report that Huo Dongjia came to see Wang Tongpan.

Wang Qing stood up quickly and trotted out.

"Brother Huo, come with me quickly. Lord Huang has fainted, and the doctor the yamen runners invited hasn't arrived yet."

Huo Zhi's heart was pounding, and he didn't have time to say anything, so he trotted in.

Could it be that something big had happened again, causing Lord Huang to faint?

I must hope that something didn't happen in my brother's county.
