Chapter 97: Just Over 200 Words
Faced with Li Zhiyuan's partiality, Mrs. Li was defeated and ran out of the house in anger.
Since the last quarrel, Mrs. Li's situation has become very bad.
At home, not only does she have to take care of the mother and her two children, but she also has to take care of all the housework.
She didn't have to do these things before! That was all the work of Ye's mother and daughter.
The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She hid under a big tree at the entrance of the village and wiped her tears.
The villagers passing by were surprised: "Hey, why is the scholar's mother crying?"
Mrs. Li shuddered and forced a laugh, "Oh, I wasn't crying, I just had sand in my eyes, hahahaha."
She is the wife of a famous scholar! How could anyone know that she was being bullied by her new daughter-in-law and step-children?
Ye Caiping had been married for fourteen years, and she began to despise Ye Caiping in front of the villagers for being unfilial and bad for fourteen years.
Later, Li Zhiyuan married Zhang Shuiniang. Mrs. Li was so satisfied that she boasted to the villagers every day about how wonderful her new daughter-in-law was and how filial her grandchildren were.
A hundred times better than the old daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
If the villagers knew that she was being bullied by her new daughter-in-law and step-son and step-daughter, she would be so embarrassed that she would be ashamed as a fool. .
…
The beggar male protagonist has been washed and is being placed in a small room.
Li Jiaojiao looked at his handsome face and became a little dazed.
"I was right, he's a handsome man. Tsk tsk, I have to wipe my saliva!"
Li Jiaojiao has only three hobbies in her life: love handsome men! Love money! Love to play badly!
Now that she is reborn, she should live freely and unrestrainedly!
"Jiaojiao!" Li Zimo walked in.
When she saw the beggar on the bed, her expression changed: "You are fine, why did you pick up a beggar?"
Li Jiaojiao's face darkened: "Do you think he looks like a beggar?"
Li Zimo looked at the bed and it was indeed not like that: "But he is injured. How can we spare money to treat him? Are we going to use your broken jade to treat him?"
Li Jiaojiao hated it most when people talked about that piece of jade: "Don't worry about it! Also, has your attitude towards me become worse and worse recently?"
"Just because I spent those two hundred taels? Haha, last year, if it weren't for me, you and mom would still be living a life worse than pigs and dogs. Why, you're smashing your rice bowl right after you've had enough food?"
Li Zimo's face changed, and he felt guilty:
"No... Jiaojiao, that's not what I meant... It's just that our good life is hard-earned, and I cherish it too much. That's why my tone was a little harsh."
"You know, I have an impatient temper and speak aggressively."
Li Jiaojiao glanced at him. She knew her brother's character and knew he had no ill intentions.
She snorted and turned back to her room.
After closing the door, she couldn't help but take the jade out of her clothes.
The little face was dark.
How could this happen?
Since I bought it that time, the jade has lost its appeal. She didn't feel it was anything special.
She waited and waited, but there was no special reaction at all.
At first she was still looking forward to it, but these few days, she has kind of given up hope.
Could it be that she was wrong?
Or did Ye replace the jade?
It was impossible. She saw with her own eyes the jade being taken off her neck. With so many villagers watching, Ye had no means to exchange the jade.
Besides, Ye didn’t know that the real purpose of her visit was the jade, and she didn’t know the value of jade, so how could she prepare fake ones in advance?
Li Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out! I really can't understand it!
In the end I can only blame it on my own wrong feelings!
Li Jiaojiao felt extremely regretful. Why did she act so impulsively and spend two hundred taels to buy a piece of broken jade?
She wished she could go back and beat Ye to death.
That Ye, knowing that the jade was worthless, how could she be so bold as to ask her for two hundred taels!
Unfortunately, there were so many people present when she bought the jade, and she really didn't have the face to go back and return the jade. She could only swallow her anger.
This greedy and evil woman, Ye, will definitely not die a good death!
"Jiaojiao." At this time, Zhang Shuiniang walked in:
"That beggar... no, that man has injuries on his body, and his leg is swollen. It's black and purple. It's scary. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
"Please come in!" How much does it cost to hire a doctor?
After a while, the village doctor came.
After checking the beggar's pulse and his injuries, he frowned tightly:
"In addition to some superficial injuries, this man also suffered serious internal injuries, with his legs being the most serious. I suggest... that he go to the county clinic to see a doctor."
What this means is that a village doctor like him does not have sufficient medical skills.
Li Jiaojiao frowned: "Prescribe two doses of medicine first!"
The doctor said, "I told you beforehand that for his injury, he needs good medicine. Ginseng and Zhiling should be used."
"How much?"
"Let me prescribe a prescription and do the math first."
The doctor wrote down the prescription and did some calculations:
"The internal medicine is 300 wen per set. He must take it now. Otherwise, his internal injuries will get worse. There is also the medicine for applying to the legs, which costs 200 wen per set. Change it every day."
Li Zimo, who was standing behind, had a dark face.
Li Jiaojiao also looked conflicted. She thought that a dose of medicine would only cost a few dozen coins. Unexpectedly, it cost several hundred coins.
There are also differences between internal and external use.
Li Jiaojiao secretly regretted that she would not have picked it up if she had known.
In fact, she still had twenty taels. But after losing the two hundred taels, she dared not touch the money.
"Well, do you want to prescribe medicine?" asked the doctor.
Li Jiaojiao frowned: "Does it have to be so expensive? Can't we use something cheaper?"
The doctor nodded: "Okay, there are cheaper ones. But as for the effect... you get what you pay for."
As he spoke, the doctor quickly changed the prescription: "Eighty coins for internal use, fifty coins for external use. At least two sets, a total of two hundred and sixty coins."
Li Jiaojiao looked back at Li Zhiyuan with a sullen face, pouting and acting like a spoiled child: "Dad... I have to pay 260 cents!"
Li Zhiyuan choked for a moment, and seeing Zhang Shuiniang looking at him, he forced himself to smile: "Okay, Dad will go get the money right away."
Then he went back to his room to get the money.
After paying the money, Li Jiaojiao went out with the doctor to get the medicine.
Zhang Shui Niang saw that Li Zhiyuan looked unhappy, so she pouted and said, "Zhiyuan, are you angry?"
Li Zhiyuan was anxious: "No."
"Hmph, you better not have it. Otherwise I'd think I married the wrong person. It's just over 200 coins. If you can't even give it up, are you worthy of marrying me?"
As she said this, she raised her chin, swung her handkerchief, and walked out in a coquettish manner.
Li Zhiyuan felt guilty and anxious, and seeing her delicate temper, he was fascinated by her and quickly chased after her:
"My lady, don't be angry, it's all my fault."
…
Mr. Li picked up a beggar and took him home. He treated the beggar's illness and took care of him. Soon the news spread to several villages.
Many people praised Li Zhiyuan for his kindness.
Ye Caiping just found it funny.
At this time in her previous life, Li Jiaojiao had already obtained the space. By reselling space, he could earn two or three hundred taels every month.
Not only did the Li family have no worries about food and drink, they also bought a maid and two old women. Their life was extremely comfortable.
Li Jiaojiao had money, so she spent all her money to treat the beggar male protagonist as if it were free.
She often said arrogantly: "I have endless money! What's wrong with having a hobby? I like his face. It's worth spending some money to look at it every day to make myself happy."
Li Zhiyuan and Li Pozi also support her because she can make money!
Now...
It’s not known whether the beggar protagonist’s legs can be saved!
