Chapter 373 Whose Son Is Worried
Zhang Juexia originally wanted to persuade Wang Guilan to accept the bracelet. Madam Shen was a high-ranking official, so this little thing was nothing to her.
After all, this is a token of Madam Shen’s kindness.
But Wang Guilan insisted on returning the bracelet to Old Madam Shen, "Juexia, just listen to your grandma. I work at home every day, and it's not appropriate for me to wear this.
You have received such a valuable gift from the old lady, how can you repay her?"
Wang Guilan spoke with great sincerity, and Zhang Juexia readily put the box away. "Then I'll listen to you, grandma, and return it to Old Madam Shen when I go to Qingfeng City one day."
"That's more like it."
"Mom, what good stuff is this? If you don't like it, you can give it to me. Why make Jue Xia run so far to return it?
Besides, since they have given the things away, there is no reason to take them back.
Besides, she's an old lady of status, right? Jue Xia?"
Wang Guilan glanced back and angrily asked, "Old Third, when did you get here? Why did you come in so quietly? Where's Beixiu?"
Pang Xiujuan pointed outside aggrievedly, "I don't see Bei Xiu either! Mom, this is my son's home too, why can't I come?"
Zhang Juexia really didn't want to talk to Pang Xiujuan, so he quickly took the box and went into the inner room.
When she entered, Ye Beixiu had already sat up from the bed, "Madam, is there someone outside?"
Zhang Juexia was also wondering, "Why did you fall asleep?"
"I saw you talking to grandma and felt really sleepy, so I lay down and took a nap. I'll go out and take a look."
Zhang Juexia stopped him and said, "Um, Third Aunt is here, and grandma is outside! It's okay, just go to sleep if you're tired!"
Ye Beixiu thought about it, then lay down and went back to sleep, "My dear, thank you for your hard work."
When Zhang Juexia left, Pang Xiujuan was still complaining, and was disgusted that Wang Guilan didn't let her take a look at the good thing, so she put it away.
By the way, he also scolded Zhang Juexia.
Wang Guilan replied unhappily, "The children have been exhausted these past few days. If you have nothing else to do, please go back and let the children have a good rest."
Pang Xiujuan looked around, "Where's Bei Xiu? Why can't I see Bei Xiu?"
"Didn't I tell you that the children are tired and need to rest?"
"Sleeping in broad daylight is too unreasonable! His third uncle and his eldest uncle are busy in the back mountain!
He came back, but he didn't help the elders with their work, he just slept!"
Pang Xiujuan's nonsensical complaints made Wang Guilan so angry that her heart ached. "Old Third, do you have no ears or are you deaf? I've already told you that Bei Xiu is tired and needs to rest."
"He's tired, but it's not from doing his own work, so it's no big deal.
Mom, you are here at your own convenience. Please help me judge this matter.
How much money would it cost for an unrelated old lady to stay and eat at home with more than a dozen people for a few days?
You said, if they have that extra money, it would be great if they could share it with you, Dad, and everyone else! "
"Old Third, are you done yet? I think you not only have no ears, but also no brains.
The children have already separated and are living their own lives. How they live their lives has nothing to do with you and me.
If you have nothing to do, come back!
I'm tired too, let's go together."
"No, Mom, I have something else to talk to Bei Xiu about."
"Old Third, are you really confused? Jue Xia has the final say on Bei Xiu's family affairs. If you have any problems, it's better to go to Jue Xia than to Bei Xiu."
"What's the point of looking for her? It's useless to talk to her."
"You haven't said anything yet, why are you talking in vain? Old Third, I think you are looking for trouble, so get out of here."
Wang Guilan pulled Pang Xiujuan's arm and walked out, "Mom, don't pull me! I really have something to ask Bei Xiu..."
"The head of the family is right in front of you, and you don't look for him. I think you are just looking for trouble."
Pang Xiujuan broke free from Wang Guilan, "I said, it's not possible! My father, Bei Xiu's grandfather, is sick.
The doctor ordered the use of high-quality medicinal herbs. I'm thinking of asking Bei Xiu for some money to send to his grandfather."
Wang Guilan could no longer suppress her anger, "Third brother, you just asked the third brother to advance five taels of silver from your eldest brother's house the other day, saying it was to get medicine for your father.
It's only been a few days and the medicine has run out?
Your father is sick. We didn't ask you to just ignore him, but we can't do that.
You and the Third Brother are no longer able to live together. You took the money from Bei Xiu and you are not going to return it."
Pang Xiujuan muttered in dissatisfaction, "Mom, Bei Xiu is my son no matter what. His grandfather is sick, I can't just stand by and watch him die!"
"Old Third, what do you mean by ignoring someone who is dying? Your father's illness hasn't reached that stage yet.
We are not unaware of the kind of people your brothers from your mother's side are. If they had been more diligent, your father wouldn't have been without money to treat his illness if he had fallen ill."
"Mom, Bei Xiu's life is good now, so he doesn't need that little money.
His grandfather talks about him every day, and I was thinking about asking him to go and see him.
This way, your face will be full of light!"
"Now you know how to look good, what's the point? Old Third, if you are a sensible person, follow me now.
Stop causing trouble for the children. Just deal with your family's problems on your own."
Wang Guilan dragged Pang Xiujuan out of Zhang Juexia's house. Before leaving, she turned back and told Zhang Juexia, "You and Bei Xiu will be at home for the next two days, so please keep the door closed."
"Got it, grandma."
Zhang Juexia obediently closed the door.
Pang Xiujuan pointed at Wang Guilan outside the gate and said, "Mom, why did you pull me out? I... I asked my son for some money, what's wrong with that?"
"Pang Xiujuan, you have to understand that you took money from Bei Xiu, but in the end it was my son who helped you pay it back.
You just said that my son has a hard life. He has to work in the back mountain even in the middle of the day.
I feel sorry for my son.
Also, Pang Xiujuan, your father is sick, and I am already very kind to let the third brother give them five taels of silver.
Don't listen to your mother. She keeps talking nonsense in your ears.
I asked the third brother to go to the pharmacy in town to inquire a long time ago. These five taels of silver are enough for your father to buy medicine for half a year.
What's more, when people get older, they are bound to get sick.
On weekdays, let him work in the fields more and stop thinking about how to extort money from the younger generation, and his health will improve."
Wang Guilan scolded Pang Xiujuan harshly, and Pang Xiujuan immediately became obedient.
"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll go home first."
"Why go home? Your family owes your eldest brother so much money, and you're making the third brother do all the work alone. When will you be able to pay it back?
Since you have nothing to do, why don't you go to the back mountain and help with the work?"
