Zhao Xiaoyu wanted to applaud grandma, well done! This is the first time that uncle has suffered such a big loss, right?
"But your efforts were not in vain. After I leave, the house will belong to you three brothers. You can sell it or live in it as you wish."
Zhao Daye: Shouldn’t it all belong to him?
Zhao Dayong felt a little more comfortable. Pingyu was the fairest.
None of them could persuade the stubborn old lady, so they finally agreed to build a house for her. She also wanted a site in the middle of the village, where it was the busiest and convenient for her to visit neighbors.
The land in the center of the village is the most expensive, and Zhao Dayong has accepted his fate. He is the most miserable child in the Zhao family.
After the discussion, everyone was ready to leave. Zhao Dashu said, "Brother, wait a minute, we still have something to discuss."
Old Sun sat back down. She loved to listen to gossip, even if it was about her own family. What was wrong with the third brother? She had no idea.
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
"When dad was seriously ill, he hired a doctor. Shouldn't the three of us pay for the medicine? Also, most of the food and drinks these days were brought in by my family, plus the expenses for dad's funeral. Now that things are settled, shouldn't we settle the bill? Either I pay for it or I pay for it. After all, dad has three sons. The one who broke the pot is the eldest brother, the one who takes care of the old is the second brother, and I am just a follower."
Zhao Dayong and Zhao Dayong: …
They really thought that all of this was caused by the third brother, but they didn't expect that he would still settle accounts with them.
“Third brother, if you knew you were going to settle accounts with us, you definitely wouldn’t eat like this these days.” Zhao Dayong said honestly.
"Second brother, have you forgotten that it was you and eldest brother who asked me to treat you decently? What did you say at that time? Third brother, Dad has been maintaining our family for his entire life. Everyone is coming to see him these days, so we must treat him decently.
We will buy whatever Dad needs recently and give him whatever medicine the doctor prescribes. Don't be stingy with your money."
Zhao Dayong was blocked, he thought the money was paid by the third brother, so he said that everything would be cured. It was the same when his father was sick before, he was the doctor, and he paid the money. The county town didn't care about anything.
"Old Three is right. The old man's expenses should be paid by the three of you together."
Zhao Dashu was surprised that his mother actually spoke up for him and that she had a conscience.
Dazhuzi was extremely desperate. He had no choice but to give up his studies.
My grandparents almost emptied out their house.
"Third brother, how much have you spent recently?" Zhao Daye had a bad feeling. He always felt that even if he made up for all the expenses with the money he got from the bargain hunting, it would not be enough.
"The village doctor stayed with my father for three days, costing two hundred yuan a day, and the medicine he prescribed was three hundred and seventy yuan. We hired another doctor from the county town, and the mule cart was not included in the family's expenses, so the total cost was eight hundred and ten yuan. The medicine they prescribed was one tael and two cents.
The old man is weak and needs to take some tonic food. He needs 73 taels of ginseng. These days, our family has eaten 23 chickens and 70 kilograms of pork..."
Zhao Dayong's head was buzzing, he didn't hear anything else clearly, he just remembered that the ginseng was more than seventy taels, which was more expensive than what his mother spent on building a house.
"The total cost is 121 taels and 7 cents. If you have any objections, you can check. My housekeeper remembers every expense clearly."
Not to mention the two brothers, even Old Sun was dumbfounded. How could they pay back so much money? Even if they sold the eldest and second eldest sons, it wouldn't be enough, right?
