Chapter 154 No matter how unwilling you are, you still have to compromise
When Old Man Cen saw Old Lady Cen like this, he knew what she was thinking and his expression immediately became even uglier.
Damn old woman, she always fails to make sense of such important matters that cannot be ambiguous at all!
Doctor Zhou has made it so clear. If the Cen family dares to neglect it in the slightest, how will he publicize it?
By then, the Cen family will be ridiculed again and become the laughing stock of the village!
He didn't like what Doctor Zhou said.
But the more times like this happen, the more we cannot be negligent!
As long as Doctor Zhou sees the money, perhaps he can show some consideration and say less.
"Old woman, you don't want to listen to me, right? I said, go get the silver for Doctor Zhou!" Old Man Cen also gritted his teeth and repeated it to Old Lady Cen with a warning.
"...How much?" Old Mrs. Cen glared at Doctor Zhou hatefully and asked in a bad tone.
"Not more, not less, five taels of silver." Doctor Zhou saw her like this and spoke slowly.
"What? Five taels? Are you robbing money or treating a disease?!" When Mrs. Cen heard this, her face suddenly felt painful.
"I am here to treat a disease, but do you think the symptoms of Li's miscarriage are easy to cure? If I hadn't arrived in time, the baby in Li's belly would have died! By then, everyone in the village would know that your Cen family treated your daughter-in-law harshly, and she couldn't stand the fatigue, so she had a miscarriage." Doctor Zhou said coldly.
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Cen was so angry at these words that she wanted to go up and fight with this bastard named Zhou.
"Give me the silver!" Old Man Cen had a terrible headache. Seeing that the old woman couldn't control her temper and her mouth, he immediately raised his voice and said angrily.
"Me!" Old Mrs. Cen wanted to say something.
"Go quickly! Don't make me repeat it again!" Old Man Cen stared at Old Lady Cen with cold eyes.
Old Mrs. Cen shuddered all over when she was looked at by him. She remembered something, pursed her lips, turned around and went into the house.
On the side, Cen Fang saw that the last time she came back, Old Lady Cen was still shouting that there was no silver at home, but this time when Old Man Cen asked her to take out silver, she happily took out five taels of silver. Suddenly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"Aunt, Third Aunt, Sister Shuang, since Doctor Zhou has confirmed that my mother is indeed pregnant, then shouldn't you fulfill the bet you just made? For the next two months, all the chores at home for the Second House will be done by the three of you instead of my mother and me!" Cen Yan spoke again at the right time while Doctor Zhou was still there.
She was afraid that after a week of Doctor Zhou's supervision, these people would turn against their promises again.
"Why, are you using this as an excuse to make a bet?" Doctor Zhou asked cooperatively, seeming to be very curious about it.
"My aunt, Third Aunt, and Sister Shuang forced me to make this bet. I had no choice." Cen Yan shook his head helplessly.
Seeing that she was acting like a good girl after getting the advantage, the three Gao family members were almost mad with anger.
They had never expected that they would lose the bet.
As for whether to admit it or not...
"That's not the case!"
Gao categorically denied it immediately. She said confidently, "This girl wanted to be lazy and made up a lie on purpose! How could we make such a boring bet? The work in this house is done by whoever is responsible for it. There is no way we can do nothing just by telling this lie!"
"Aunt, we clearly agreed on it. How can you go back on your word? Can you just deny something like a bet? Aren't you afraid that God will punish you?" Cen Yan was furious when he heard that she really went back on her word.
"Hmph, if that's what I said, then I should naturally admit it. But if it didn't happen at all, how can you ask me to admit it?" Gao was very confident, as if she had never made such a bet.
The reason why she was so confident was that she was confident that no one else in Old Cen's family would say anything to expose her.
Seeing this, Yu and Cen Shuang immediately nodded in unison: "Yes, that's right, this is all untrue, Cen Yan is lying!"
"You are really going too far!" Cen Yan was very angry, but seemed helpless about it.
"Cen Yan, you should go too far. You actually want to blackmail us into working for you and your mother! You are really dreaming!" Gao immediately responded tit for tat, with a smug look between her brows.
"You!" Cen Yan was so angry at her shamelessness that he pretended to argue with her.
"Okay, okay, don't say anything. Li is pregnant, so she naturally can't do any housework anymore." Doctor Zhou stopped Cen Yan and said.
"Doctor Zhou, this is our own private matter. As a doctor, you should treat patients, but it is not appropriate for you to interfere in other people's family affairs, right?" Gao raised her eyebrows and said.
"Hmph, then I will repeat what I just said."
Doctor Zhou said coldly, "If anything happens to Li, your Cen family will be held responsible. If you abide by this bet, it will be fine. At least Li will not suffer a miscarriage due to overwork caused by working while pregnant.
“But if you don’t abide by the bet and continue to oppress Li and force her to work day and night, causing her to have a miscarriage, then I can guarantee that in these villages, the reputation of your old Cen family for maliciously and harshly treating Li will nail you firmly to the pillar of shame!
"When the time comes, you guys..."
Doctor Zhou raised his hand and pointed at Gao, Yu, Cen Shuang, and Old Man Cen one by one. "You will never be able to clear your name. Your hands are stained with the blood and life of an innocent unborn baby. As long as I am still practicing medicine, I guarantee that no one will treat you! Anyway, even in the county, I have made many good friends in the same field!"
As soon as he uttered these last words, Old Man Cen and the others were shocked.
There is no threat more powerful than this!
This will cause them to die of illness in the future and no one will treat them!
Too cruel!
Old Man Cen was so angry that the wrinkles on his face were shaking.
Gao and his friends were also quite frightened.
"Gao, Yu, Cen Shuang, starting from today, within the next two months, you will do all the work for the second house!" Old man Cen weighed the pros and cons, and finally gritted his teeth and gave instructions word by word in a solemn tone.
"...Yes, Dad, I understand."
"yes……"
"Grandpa, I remember it."
Even though they were unwilling, the three Gao family members had no choice but to accept the request.
At this time, Old Mrs. Cen came out with the silver reluctantly and handed it to Doctor Zhou.
She didn't know what had just happened.
"Cen Yan, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to add an ingredient to the prescription. Come with me and I will add it for you." Doctor Zhou put the silver into the medicine box and suddenly said to Cen Yan.
"Oh, okay." Cen Yan thought he had something to say, so she quickly followed him into the house.
However, as soon as she entered the house, Doctor Zhou took out the five taels of silver from the medicine box and handed it to her.
"Doctor Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Cen Yan looked shocked.
