Chapter 141 Brother, Don’t Move
Jiang Tangtang really wanted to thank Xue Banxian very much. If he wanted to open a clinic, she would buy a shop for him to open one.
But Xue Banxian obviously just wanted to tease Jiang Tangtang and had no intention of opening a clinic.
Seeing that Jiang Tangtang really wanted to give him a room, he quickly refused.
After Jiang Tangtang understood Xue Banxian's intentions, she began to make arrangements to move back to the countryside.
While Jiang Tangtang was busy choosing a suitable accountant, something happened in the cake shop.
"Sister-in-law, you can't just ignore me! If I don't pay back the money, they will cut off my fingers!" Lu Bowen knelt on the ground, crying with tears and snot.
Su's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Before she could say anything, Lu Bowen started crying again, "Sister-in-law, if you really can't bear to leave, please help me call mother out! Actually, I don't want to bother her either, but if I lose my hand, how can I take care of Lang Ge'er and An Ge'er?"
"What's going on?"
"The man kneeling on the ground looks much older than the shop owner's wife. Why is he calling her sister-in-law?"
"Why else? He must have had a hard life and looked old! Look at that man on the ground. His clothes are covered in patches and look like they haven't been washed in at least two months. He looks just like a beggar on the street."
"This pastry shop's business is so brisk, it's no exaggeration to say they're making a killing every day. The owner is so rich, yet he doesn't even help his brothers and relatives. He's really too heartless."
"That's right. He always smiles at everyone, but I didn't expect him to be such a cold-hearted person in private."
"We will not buy things from him anymore and we won't give money to black-hearted shops."
…
Lu Bowen knelt on the ground, crying and snotting, attracting a lot of onlookers.
At first, people gathered together to discuss what was going on, but gradually, the tone of conversation changed.
Su suppressed her disgust and said, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? Although your eldest brother passed away a long time ago and we separated long ago, if you have any difficulties and come to me for help, I will definitely find a way for the sake of my late husband. But how did you end up like this? Did you go gambling?"
Her voice was loud enough for everyone around her to hear.
The eldest brother of the shop owner had died a long time ago, and the shop owner was a widow. Moreover, the man who came to ask for help had debts from gambling.
Those who previously thought that the owner of the cake shop was unkind now changed their minds.
That man looked healthy and well, so how could he have the nerve to ask his widow for help? And he owed money from gambling.
This doesn't look like a good thing!
Hearing the change in tone, Lu Bowen became anxious and argued, "Sister-in-law, please don't accuse me. I didn't go gambling. My two children were sick, and I had no money to treat them, so I borrowed money from Ziqian's family."
"The child is sick?" Su said, "My granddaughter's master is a doctor. Why didn't you send your child here when he was sick? Instead, you went out to borrow money from someone else. How is the child now? I asked my granddaughter's master to help take a look."
"The child is fine now, sister-in-law, please help me pay back the money first!" Lu Bowen said anxiously.
"I think one hundred taels should be enough for the two children's medical treatment!" Su took out one hundred taels of silver and said.
"One hundred taels, what are you doing to a beggar?"
The big man behind Lu Bowen said, "He owes us five thousand taels of silver. Either pay us back, or..." The man glanced at the cake shop and sneered, "Use your shop as collateral."
Su immediately took back the hundred taels of silver. "Big brother, you must have made a mistake. He and I separated a long time ago. How much money he owes me has nothing to do with me. I was just thinking of helping him out of gratitude for my late husband."
As she spoke, she looked at the onlookers and said, "But the relationship between our two families is not that deep."
As soon as the big man mentioned five thousand taels of silver, passersby gasped. People also didn't believe Lu Bowen's claim that he was lending money for his child's medical treatment.
Where can I find so much money to treat my child?
This was clearly a lie, he owed the money he had gambled at the casino. People all agreed with Su's current statement.
It is okay to help each other among relatives, but there is no reason to sacrifice your own life in order to help relatives.
The big man said, "No! When he borrowed the money, he used your shop as collateral. Otherwise, we wouldn't have lent him so much money. You have to pay it back now, even if you don't want to."
"I have no idea about the guarantee. What you said doesn't make sense." Su was anxious and secretly winked at her daughter, asking her to go out and inform her son.
I'm afraid someone is jealous of her shop and deliberately found an excuse to cause trouble.
Lu Zhixi was worried about his mother, but he also knew that the shop was the hard work of his sister-in-law and the source of livelihood for the whole family. He pinched his palms and tried to run out secretly, but before he could go out, he was caught by the big man.
"What are you doing? Let my daughter go!" Su's eyes were red, and she wanted to snatch her daughter away, but the man asked her to hand over the house deed to pay off the debt. During the argument, Su's head hit the cabinet, and her head was immediately covered in blood and she fainted.
"Mom!" Lu Zhixi's heart was broken. "Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
When Jiang Tangtang and his men returned from the dental clinic, they happened to see this scene and hurriedly said to Guo Yu, "Quick, go and call back Doctor Xue."
Xue Banxian disliked the noisy cake shop, which gave him no peace and quiet, so he had been hiding away recently.
"Uncle Xu, go ahead."
Xu Ming was one of the accountants Jiang Tangtang had just bought. After Guo Yu told him a few places Xue Banxian often visited, he returned to Jiang Tangtang's side, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of the knife.
The man saw that someone had died and the girl next to Jiang Tangtang looked like a martial artist, so he didn't make any new moves for a while.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care about the men and went to check on Su's injuries first. However, the injury was only on her head, so she didn't dare to move, she was extremely anxious.
Fortunately, Doctor Xue and Xu Ming hurried back soon, followed by the short-legged Lu Tiantian.
Seeing her grandmother lying on the ground covered in blood and her mother looking bad, the little girl burst into tears.
"Grandpa Xue, please save my grandma!" The fat boy grabbed Xue Banxian and said with sobs.
Xue Banxian patted his head soothingly, then squatted down to take Su's pulse, and then hurriedly took out a silver needle to stop her bleeding.
A quarter of an hour later, Su finally stopped bleeding.
Xue Banxian had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up to stretch his hands and feet, and ordered someone to get some medicine, when he was pressed against his neck by a silver needle. "Brother, don't move. If my hands shake, it will be bad."
Xue Banxian's body was stiff, and after a long while he said, "Junior sister, this is not the time to be naughty, I am saving someone!"
