Chapter 78 Division of the Family
Hearing the word "medical fee", the second son's wife immediately said, "All our money was robbed, where is the silver left now? The only valuable thing is the jewelry on my body. Please be flexible and charge less."
"I won't charge for the medical fee, but I still have to pay for the medicine."
Su Baishou took out the medicine he had prepared before and handed it to the eldest son's wife.
"This is for external application. You will apply it to him later. Three times a day for the first seven days, and twice a day afterwards. The medicine for internal use is in my room. One of you can come with me to get it later."
He took out a silver needle from the medicine box and started to insert it into the eldest son Yu. Su Baishou's acupuncture skills were very good. After a few needles, the bleeding stopped.
"Two hundred coins in total."
"Two hundred coins?"
The second son's wife screamed, "This is too much. I fell and injured myself before, and it only cost me fifty coins. I think you are dishonest, old man. You see there are no other clinics in this desolate mountain, so you deliberately rip me off!"
[Grandpa Su is acupuncturist and prescribes medicine. Two hundred coins is already very cheap. I think she just wants to get it for free.]
Gan Huaizhong hugged his sister and nodded. It was obvious that the second son's wife was not a good person.
"Grandpa Su, since she thinks it's expensive, I think let it go, so as not to be blamed for saving people."
Although Su Baishou has a good temper, he will not lose face for the younger generation at this time.
He took the medicine from the eldest son's wife and said, "Since you think it's expensive, then ask someone else for help."
[Humph, we came here with good intentions, but we were still suspected. I would not have helped if I had known.]
[After leaving this door, it will not be so easy to ask us to come back.]
The shopkeeper also said, "Two hundred coins is already very cheap. You have not been to the clinic for a long time. There has been a plague in the area recently. The supply of medicine is in short supply. If you were to buy the medicine yourself, I guess five hundred coins might not be enough to buy all the medicine."
Old Lady Yu was a sensible person. In addition, she looked down on the second son's wife, so she took a look at Su Baishou and made a decision immediately.
She knelt down in front of Su Baishou.
"Doctor Su, my second daughter-in-law is stupid. You must not argue with her. I beg you to save my son. We have no money now, but I am willing to use something to pay for it."
The old lady said, taking off a jade pendant from her waist.
"This is a token of love my husband gave me. Although it is not made of good material, it is worth a few taels of silver."
Seeing the old lady like this, Su Baishou lost his temper.
"I don't want your jade pendant, I want the silver hairpin on her head."
"A silver hairpin, I will save people."
Everyone looked at the second daughter-in-law.
The second daughter-in-law subconsciously covered the silver hairpin on her head.
"My silver hairpin is very valuable, at least five hundred coins. You are too arrogant, old man."
"Besides, since my elder brother was injured, it should be my sister-in-law who should pay. Why should we, the second branch, pay?"
The sister-in-law lowered her head and said weakly, "I thought we were fleeing to the capital, so we shouldn't show off too much. So I put all the gold and silver in my bag. I only have a few wooden hairpins on my head, without even any patterns. Now my bag has been stolen, and I really can't pay."
"Second brother's wife, please take out a hairpin and save your eldest brother."
The second son's wife's eyes kept turning: "It's not impossible for me to take it, but we have to separate the family."
Although the eldest brother is not dead now, he is also injured. He can't work for at least a month and needs someone to take care of him. During this time, the whole family needs her to pay for food, drink, defecation and urination. She is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, why should she support so many people for nothing?
Old lady Yu was so angry that she slapped the second son's wife directly and looked at the second son angrily: "Second son, tell me, do you also want to separate the family?"
The second son glanced at his wife, hesitating and unable to speak. When the old lady saw the attitude of the second son, her heart was completely chilled.
"Second brother, you also think your eldest brother is a burden, right?"
"When you were eight years old, you insisted on playing in the water and almost drowned. It was your eldest brother who saved you. When you were twelve years old, you fell in love with Mr. Zhang's dog and insisted on stealing it. Mr. Zhang almost beat you to death. It was your eldest brother who took ten sticks for you and carried you back despite the pain. Have you forgotten all these?"
"I remember, I remember all the kindness my eldest brother showed me. I will repay him, but those were things from my childhood. You can't talk about them forever, can you?"
Gan Tian's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
[These things sound so familiar to me.]
[I can't remember them. I really can't remember them.]
[Forget it. These are not things that a baby like me should worry about. I'd better just watch the fun. 】
Under the gazes of everyone, the second son gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I'll ask my wife to take out another silver hairpin and give you two silver hairpins, and then we'll divide the family business."
"You can see that we don't have many silver hairpins. My eldest brother is sick and can't make money for the time being. My third brother is weak and will soon get married. If we all stay together, these silver hairpins won't be enough to spend. If we separate, maybe we won't have a way out."
[The second son's wife is so shameless. Why didn't she talk about dividing the family business when she had the money? ]The old
lady was so angry that she swayed and almost fainted. Fortunately, she was supported by the eldest son's wife in time.
"You mean the whole family? You mean you two?"
"Okay, okay, since you want to split up, then split up and live your own lives."
"Whether you are rich or poor, don't come to us. We won't get involved. Similarly, don't come to us in the future."
"Who else wants to split up? Stand up and split up all at once."
Except for the second son's family, no one else spoke.
"Leave two hairpins, and get out of here!"
After hearing this, the second son's wife immediately threw down the two hairpins and left without looking back.
Old lady Yu turned her back and kept wiping her tears.
Gan Tian kicked her little feet.
[Don't be sad, old lady. Only family members like you will unconditionally tolerate a selfish villain like Yu Lao Er. Once he leaves home, he will find that others will not tolerate him like this. He will not have a good ending and will only be able to eat shit in the future.]
My sister has become more and more vulgar recently.
Gan Huaibi looked at Gan Tian in his arms with a somewhat melancholy look in his eyes.
My sister is so well-behaved and cute, someone must have led her astray.
However, although my sister's words were rough, they were not unreasonable. It would be a good thing for the Yu family if people like Yu Laoer left the Yu family earlier.
Although the Yu family is down and out now, they seem to be reasonable people. Good fortune is yet to come. Then Yu Laoer will have to eat shit in the future.
After quietly saying dirty words in his heart, Gan Huaizhong actually felt that this feeling was a bit...refreshing.
