Chapter 8 If the grudge is still there, I'll break another one for you...

Before Jiang Meng could react to what was happening, he felt someone grabbing his neck from behind, and then something cold and sharp pressed against his Adam's apple.

"Tell the truth, was it given to you or stolen?" Jiang Tong pressed the horseshoe knife against Jiang Tong's neck. His tone was still calm, but it made people feel fear for no reason.

Jiang Meng felt a chill in his heart, and his legs began to tremble: "Really, really, it was given by my mother."

The waiter was so frightened that he kept saying, "Girl, calm down! Calm down!"

"Why would she give it to you?" Jiang Tong exerted a little force on his hand, and the newly sharpened blade slid through Jiang Tong's skin, and warm blood immediately flowed down from his neck.

There were many people coming in and out of the tavern, and their quarrel immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"Wow, this girl is amazing."

"What did this man do to offend others?"

"I don't know, but he must have done something bad."

…

"Speak!" Jiang Tong scolded.

Feeling the excruciating pain in his neck continue to spread, Jiang Ming was truly terrified. He had no idea that Jiang Taidou's fingers could be so precise and precise, easily cutting through his flesh without killing him. He thought that if the knife made another cut, his life would surely be over. He almost cried out, "It was my mother who gave it to me. She asked me to come out and buy medicine for my father."

"You used dad's medicine money to buy alcohol?!" Jiang Tong's voice rose a few notches.

When the onlookers heard this, they immediately spat: "Using your own father's medicine money to drink, bah, beast!"

"Where's the remaining money?" Jiang Tong asked.

Jiang Meng shivered and said, "No, it's gone."

Jiang Tong didn't believe it, so she reached out and rummaged through Jiang Meng's body for a while, pulling out a handful of copper coins. She put them into her sleeve, kicked Jiang Meng in the butt, leaving him speechless, and then turned around and walked away.

In the tavern, only Jiang Meng was left being pointed at and criticized.

The person who had supported him earlier couldn't help but spit out another sentence: "Unfilial and unbrotherly! Not a good-for-nothing!"

Jiang Meng's vagina was wet. He squeezed his legs together to hide his ugliness, stretched out his hand to cover the wound that was still bleeding, and wanted to free his hand to rub his butt. However, he was busy with his head and not his butt, which made him look very embarrassed and caused the onlookers to laugh.

Jiang Tong wished he could crawl into the gap between the counters. He covered his face and rushed out. After running a long distance in one breath, he turned back and looked at Jiang Tong's leaving back with resentment.

…

Jiang Tong gave Jiang Tong this reminder, and also remembered that his father might have finished taking the medicine.

She weighed the few copper coins she had just confiscated from Jiang Xun and thought to herself, this is not enough to buy medicine, and there is not much food left at home. With this little money, I am afraid that I won’t be able to sell the painting and the whole family will starve to death.

As I recall, at that time, they were living by selling Zhong Wanci's dowry piece by piece.

Jiang Tong took out the lotus hairpin, gently stroking the lifelike flower with her fingers, and secretly vowed: Just this once. From today on, I will buy back every piece of jewelry my mother has sold.

Jiang Tong made up his mind and without hesitation, turned and went to the pawnshop on the corner.

After exchanging the money, Jiang Tong asked the doctor to come to her home for a follow-up visit.

According to Zhong Wanci's description, Jiang Huaishan's condition is much better than before. He used to be drowsy all day long, but now he can wake up for a while from time to time.

The doctor was a kind-looking old man. Upon hearing this, he stroked his gray beard and nodded with satisfaction. He said that if he continued to take the medicine according to the prescription and took good care of himself, he would be fully recovered soon.

After the doctor wrote the prescription, Jiang Tong, like last time, politely saw him out. Just as he reached the door, he saw Jiang Tong rolling back in a dejected manner.

The urine stains on his body had long since dried, and the wound on his neck was no longer bleeding. Only the blood on his collar was shocking. He looked like someone had been robbed, as miserable as could be.

Jiang Tong didn't want to pay attention to him and led the doctor out.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Meng threw his arm across the room, blocking the way. A foul smell of alcohol and urine hit them in the face.

"Want to leave?" Jiang Meng pointed at his neck. "How do you say that?"

Jiang Tong said coldly, "Dad is awake now. Do you want to ask him for justice? Should I be beaten for using his life-saving money to buy alcohol?"

Jiang Meng's face changed when he heard this. Even if he was a reckless person, he was still a little afraid of this nominal father.

At that moment, he asked in a tone of fear that he himself didn't even notice, "Dad is really awake?"

The old doctor nodded and said, "Occasionally he will be lucid. Take the medicine carefully and take good care of yourself. In three to five days, he will be completely sober."

Jiang Tong was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He turned sideways to guide the doctor around Jiang Tong: "Doctor Wang, please come this way."

"Oh, okay." The old doctor replied.

Just as they were about to take a step forward, Jiang Tong suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Jiang Tong, you're an unmarried girl, and you actually brought a stranger home! You'll ruin your reputation, and you might not even be able to get married!"

The old doctor couldn't stand such groundless accusations. His expression suddenly changed. He pointed at Jiang Meng with a trembling finger and said, "Don't slander me! I'm a house call doctor!"

"Doctor? I think he is a Mongolian doctor who is out to kill for money!" Jiang Meng shouted.

Jiang Tong's cold gaze swept across Jiang Tong's face. Her cheap brother's mind was never complicated, and it was clear at a glance what he was planning.

He was trying to get drunk and go crazy, and beat the doctor away. If the news got out, no one would dare to come to her house to treat the disease.

Jiang Meng made no secret of his intention not to seek medical treatment for Jiang Huaishan.

As he spoke, Jiang Meng had already rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat Doctor Wang.

At this moment, a figure came down from the courtyard wall, flashed over at a speed that no one could see, and clamped Jiang Xuan's fist that was about to fall.

When Jiang Tong saw who was coming, he couldn't help but feel happy. It was A Qiao who came back!

Ah Qiao twisted and kicked Jiang Meng casually, and Jiang Meng screamed and fell heavily to the ground face down.

He was tall and fat, and he fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Seeing Jiang Ming constantly moaning "ouch", A Qiao became annoyed and stepped on the back of his head, pushing his face into the mud. In an instant, the "ouch" sound became quieter.

Jiang Tong angrily scolded, "Jiang Tong, if you hadn't lost all our family fortune, my father wouldn't have been so angry at you that he fell ill. Instead of changing your ways and serving the medicine, you actually dared to be disrespectful to the doctor who came to see you!"

Jiang Ming was, after all, a young man in his twenties. With A Qiao stepping on his head, he had no strength to struggle. He flailed his limbs in vain, like a tortoise that couldn't turn over.

"I didn't mean that! I'm just worried that you'd be scammed. What if you were... Aaaaaah!!!"

After receiving a look from Jiang Tong, A Qiao slightly increased the force of his feet. Jiang Tong felt a tremendous force pressing on his back, and all he could do was scream.

When he had almost finished yelling, Jiang Tong said coldly, "Why don't you apologize to Doctor Wang?"

A Qiao relaxed his grip slightly, letting Jiang Meng speak, but he cursed as soon as he opened his mouth: "I won't! Get out of my way! A servant girl actually dared to step on this young master, believe it or not, this young master will sell you out!"

When Jiang Tong mentioned this, a fire rose in his heart again.

In order to get money, Jiang Meng sold all the slaves in his family.

If Zhong Wanci had not turned over a new leaf in time, even her personal maid would have been sold into a brothel.

In his previous life, Jiang Tong was filled with hatred but had no way to seek revenge.

The hatred that had been brewing for decades was released a little bit, and it immediately formed a tremendous force.

Then, Aqiao saw the little girl who was kind and gentle in her eyes made a subtle gesture to her.

When Aqiao saw the gesture, he was startled. Only people in their industry knew that gesture.

It is impossible for Jiang Tong, a young lady from an official family, to know this, unless... the fragments that have been appearing in her mind recently are true. This Jiang Tong is the famous Jiang Huayi, her only friend, many years later.

However, as someone in her line of work, she was already accustomed to harboring all her doubts. She poked Jiang Ming's back with her toes expressionlessly, seemingly searching for something, and then stepped down hard.

There was a sound of "crack" as ribs broke, and Jiang Meng's screams echoed into the sky.

Doctor Wang was a kind-hearted doctor after all, and he could not bear this. His face turned pale, but he saw the two girls in front of him, each calmer than the other.

The tall girl even used her toes to crush the broken part. It didn't look like she was stepping on a person at all, but more like she was casually crushing a fallen leaf or a piece of gravel.

"Apologize to Doctor Wang." Amid Jiang Tong's screams and howls, Jiang Tong's voice remained calm.

"Ahhhh!! I apologize, I apologize! Stop, stop stepping on me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Jiang Tong looked towards Doctor Wang and gave him an apologetic smile. "I'm really sorry. My brother gets crazy when he drinks and offended Doctor Wang. Please forgive me."

She paused here, and seeing Doctor Wang's blank expression, she smiled again: "If Doctor Wang is still angry, then I..."

Jiang Tong looked at Aqiao as he spoke. Aqiao understood and immediately lowered his head and began to search for something on Jiang Tong's body with the tip of his shoe.

Doctor Wang suddenly realized that what she meant was, if you are still angry, I will break another one to vent your anger!

Poor old Doctor Wang was so frightened that he quickly spoke out to stop her: "Enough, enough! Please come down, young lady."

"Why don't you thank Doctor Wang quickly!" Jiang Tong said coldly.

"Thank you... Thank you, Doctor Wang." Jiang Meng was in so much pain that he was sweating all over and his consciousness was a little fuzzy.

Jiang Tong nodded slowly, and A Qiao got off Jiang Tong.

"Doctor Wang, please come this way." Jiang Tong continued to politely lead Doctor Wang to the door.

Doctor Wang, a caring doctor, took two steps and then looked back at Jiang Meng, who was struggling on the ground in pain. He asked, "He's like this. Does he need me to take a look at him?"

"Don't worry, old doctor. It's just a broken rib. My brother is young and can recover from this minor injury on his own."

Jiang Tong even smiled sheepishly as he spoke, "Besides, the few copper coins I have are only enough to buy medicine for my father. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first in everything. I don't think my brother would ask me to leave my elders alone to treat myself. Right, brother?"
