Chapter 17 Even if it's his own son, it won't work
Tang Si's expression changed, and he couldn't help but look at the landlord and plead, "Please, landlord, give us a few more days. My uncle is seriously ill, I..."
"So what? What does it have to do with me?" The landlord waved his hand impatiently and glanced at Tang Yu next to Tang Si.
Tang Yu was actually quite good-looking, but she was a bit thin, even thinner than Tang Si.
He was unconscious at the moment, his body twitching slightly.
Tang Si's face was full of pleading, but the landlord showed no mercy whatsoever.
This house is for rent; if someone dies here, no one will want to rent it anymore.
He would never do a deal that loses him money!
Moreover, he had done right by the uncle and nephew; if it were anyone else, they would probably have kicked them out long ago.
After glancing at Tang Si, the landlord paused for a moment, then pulled out a hundred coins from his pocket: "Forget it, I really owe you guys. I've never seen a landlord give money away. Hurry up and take this money to see a doctor for your uncle, or he might die!"
Tang Si was taken aback, looked up, and gazed at the man with gratitude.
This man was bald and looked a bit fierce. Every time he asked for money, he acted like someone owed him something.
Everyone says this person is difficult to get along with, and Tang Si didn't like him before either.
But now...
"What are you looking at? I just don't want to see anyone die on my turf!" the landlord said irritably.
After saying that, he turned and left, as if he had really seen something unlucky.
"What bad luck! I'm out of money for a day's drinks. That damn woman is definitely going to yell at me. I'd better hide somewhere!" he muttered to himself, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Tang Si felt a lump in his throat, but he still pulled the cart with difficulty, leading his uncle to the clinic.
At that very moment, the Qian family had arrived at the gate of An County and were queuing up to enter the city.
An County has a total of four main gates. The Qian family and other commoners entered through the Anyuan Gate.
The people lined up in two rows, quietly paid the entrance fee, and then went inside.
Standing in the crowd, Madam Qian said to her two daughters-in-law, "You two keep a close eye on the three boys, don't let the paparazzi take them!"
"Yes, Mother!" Sun Cuihua replied, holding her two sons tightly with both hands.
Wang Xiuer was even more decisive, taking her son into her arms.
When it was their turn, Xiao Su Bao got up and sat in the bamboo basket, peeking out with her two little eyes.
The little dumpling was a bit thin, and looked no different from any other child from a farming family.
She looked around curiously at everything outside, curious about everything and wanting to see it all.
Suddenly, Xiao Su Bao looked ahead, a hint of panic in her eyes!
She saw her mother get hit by a carriage...
The little dumpling immediately burst into tears, her soft, sweet voice filled with heart-wrenching sobs: "Mommy, I want Mommy!"
Qian was startled and quickly told her eldest daughter-in-law to stand in front while she ran to the back.
"What's wrong with Little Su Bao? Mother's here!" Madam Qian quickly took the little one out of the basket.
Little Su Bao looked ahead and said in a small voice, "Can we not go ahead?"
Ms. Qian was taken aback and looked at the little baby with surprise. She saw the baby's eyes filled with fear and the baby was gripping her hand tightly.
Thinking back to what happened yesterday, Madam Qian dared not be careless and secretly understood the situation.
She carried her baby to the front.
After paying the entrance fee of one coin per person, the group followed the flow of people inside.
Just inside Anyuan Gate, there is a straight street lined with shops of all sizes on both sides.
Instead of following her original plan to walk the first path, Ms. Qian took a slightly longer, side path.
Just as they turned into the alley, a carriage sped past them.
From afar, Little Su Bao spotted a carriage carved with orchids.
Her gaze followed the carriage until it disappeared from sight.
This was the carriage that brought her here. She saw the curtain lifted, revealing her mother-in-law's appearance.
The Qian family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Qian, who held Xiao Su Bao tightly in her arms.
I've really found a treasure!
If it weren't for this child, the Tang family would probably be finished.
"Mother, just now..." Tang Qi's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Su Bao and his mother. He felt that they seemed to be hiding something from him.
"Mother? What mother? Let's hurry on our way!" Madam Qian interrupted her son directly. Some things are better left unsaid until the crucial moment.
Even if it's your own son, it's not allowed!
As Ms. Qian carried her baby, the group walked through the alley and were bumped into by a bald man who had been drinking.
The man glared at them irritably, then sauntered away.
But he lost his footing and fell down. There was a small puddle on the ground, and the man's face went straight into the puddle.
Little Su Bao turned her head and looked at the bald uncle.
"Second brother, he's so pitiful, can you help him up?" The little dumpling's voice was soft and gentle, making it impossible for Tang Qi to refuse.
"Alright, alright, Second Brother will pull you!"
Tang Qi stepped forward and, with some difficulty, pulled the person up.
The bald man suddenly coughed, his face turning bright red.
He felt like he almost couldn't breathe and was about to die. He tried to get up, but his hands and feet were weak and limp.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, he heard the voice of a little baby.
Soft and cute.
It was as if I could hear my own heart all at once.
He looked up and met Xiao Su Bao's eyes.
"Are you alright?" Little Su Bao asked timidly, nestled in Qian Shi's arms.
The bald man was stunned, and he sobered up a bit, but he didn't have the strength right now.
He felt that if Tang Qi hadn't pulled him up, he might have really died!
The thought of that suffocating feeling is terrifying.
Little Su Bao was a little scared when he didn't speak.
"Let's go!" Madam Qian didn't seem to care much. It was just something she did on a whim, and she didn't expect anyone to be her slave.
What are we doing here?
The bald man was taken aback, not expecting them to leave so decisively.
Feeling a bit of strength returning to his body, he instinctively stood up and followed behind them.
When they were halfway there, they realized that this wasn't the direction their rented courtyard was heading.
That place is remote, with only their family living there. Could these people be Tang Si's relatives?
The man, having sobered up considerably, couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with Tang Si?"
Upon hearing this, the Qian family was taken aback and immediately turned their heads.
"Do you know my youngest son?" Madam Qian asked in surprise. After all, her youngest son was gentle and usually studied at the academy. How could he know someone like this?
The bald man was taken aback, not expecting it to be true. He touched his bald head.
