During the autumn harvest, the family he visited the most was the Zhao family. If you can't work, can't you just not do it? It is less troublesome to hire a laborer than to do it themselves.
"Doctor, hurry up, my son is bleeding a lot!"
Zhao Jiadong's condition didn't look good at first glance. He was bleeding too much, his face was pale, and his eyes were rolling. Several people helped him cover his wound, and their hands were also covered with sticky blood.
When the old doctor saw it, he was frightened. There was so much blood. Could his pulse have been cut off? Without even taking a breath, he hurried forward to check the situation.
After washing off the blood stains on the surface, he saw the long wound. His eyelids twitched violently. How much must this kid hate him to be so cruel that the wound was visible to the bone. After quickly treating the wound and temporarily stopping the bleeding, he said, "Old man, send him to the county town immediately. I can't treat him. Hurry up and see if you can save his hand."
Hearing such severe punishment, Zhao Jiadong was so frightened that he burst into tears. Boss Zhao was even more flustered, "Who has a car? Lend it to me!"
Most of the villagers were kindhearted. They packed up a cart, pushed Zhao Jiadong and pulled Zhao Daye toward the county town.
"We'll go ahead, Dad. Go home and get the silver and follow us."
The old man was completely dumbfounded. The family really had no money left.
Those who were smart and had a good relationship with Zhao Dashu went to Zhao Laosan's house.
"Old Three, Old Three!"
"Why are you here at this time, you bastard?"
"Your eldest brother's eldest son is out. He cut his arm with a sickle and was badly injured. He has been sent to the county town. It seems that your father's family has no money to go to the hospital."
Zhao Xiaoyu was also at the door. That was right. She took all the money from her uncle's family and gave all the money from her grandfather's family to her uncle. She also stole all their food, making the already poor family even worse off.
this……
No matter how much the brothers don't get along, or how much he dislikes his eldest brother, he will never stand by and watch him die.
"Thank you so much!"
"Don't be polite, just keep it in mind!" Laizi reported the news and did not dare to stay any longer, as he estimated that people would come to kill him soon.
"My daughter..."
Zhao Xiaoyu said nothing, and took out five taels of silver. "Dad, tell grandpa that this silver was not given to me, but borrowed. Uncle borrowed it from you."
If it was borrowed by the old man, haha, it’s no different from giving it as a gift. Sympathy is sympathy, but the fact that the child’s life is in danger doesn’t mean that they have to be taken advantage of. They were willing to help him and take the money, but since it was urgent, they couldn't wait. Uncle, we are not short of money. Although our family has been emptied by her, don’t we still have a house in the county town?
Zhao Dashu took the silver and understood what his daughter meant. "I understand."
How many meat buns can you buy with five taels of silver? How could you possibly give them to your eldest brother? He is not a local tycoon with lots of money and a stupid mind.
Old man Zhao, along with Mrs. Xiao and others, arrived soon after. They walked in a hurry, followed by a large group of people who were watching the fun.
"Dad! What are you doing..." Zhao Dashu said that he knew nothing.
The old man seemed to see hope when he saw him, tears streaming down his face, "Old Third, Jiadong is born!"
Looking at his father who was holding his arm and crying loudly, Zhao Dashu felt quite uncomfortable. If he was injured, would Dad be so sad?
No, it’s not that he has never been injured before, he just looked at them coldly and didn’t want to call a doctor for fear of wasting money.
"Dad, what's wrong? Is your elder brother disobeying you again?"
The old man who was crying sadly:...
Who is the unfilial one? Don’t you have any idea about it?
"Jiadong Kamaru cut his arm and has gone to the county town. Dashu, you know our family was robbed a while ago, you have to help your brother and save Jiadong! You are the only rich person in our family!"
"Jiadong is injured? Why are you so careless? Dad, we are family and we don't have to say two things. If a child is injured, I will definitely not stand by and watch him die."
The villagers next to him nodded, Dashu is kind and righteous.
"You know, we have built a house, so there is not much left. But the children are the most important. To be honest, I have saved all my money now, five taels and three cents. I will keep the three cents, because the family needs to eat, and I have no land, so I have to buy all the food."
The villagers nodded again. Indeed, Zhao Laosan had no land, so he got nothing from the division of the family property!
Five taels of silver is indeed a lot. If it weren't for picking bamboo shoots, no one would have seen silver. At most, they would have a few copper coins.
Zhao Laosan is an open-minded person.
Old man Zhao was not satisfied. His eldest grandson was so injured. What could five taels of silver do?
"Why do you only have five taels of silver? Wouldn't it be very generous to build a house? Haven't you found other ways to make money recently? Don't your family have good craftsmanship?"
Yes, Zhao Dashu has a wife who can earn money.
In an instant, everyone pricked up their ears.
"It's not that easy to make money. Do you really think you can get one a day by following a recipe? My wife can only cook, she's not a god, and she can't turn it into silver. Besides, have you seen us go out recently? To save money, we go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables every day. If I had silver, I would buy some land. After all, I don't even have a piece of wasteland now."
Yes, it is not so easy to prepare fresh food. Song looked dull just looking at it.
Others looked at the aggressive old man and thought he was not kind. It is indeed not kind. A kind person would sell his granddaughter and leave his son with nothing.
Old man Zhao didn't want to argue with him right now, as he wanted to go to the county town to see his eldest grandson. "Okay, five taels is five taels. If it's not enough, you can think of a way when the time comes."
Zhao Xiaoyu was so angry that he laughed at his grandfather's shamelessness.
"Dad, it's not my fault if it's not enough. Jiadong is the eldest brother's son."
Old man Zhao glared at his unfilial son.
"Also, I didn't give this money away. I lent it to my elder brother. He was short of money, and I was in trouble too. Now he needed the money urgently, and as his younger brother, I had nothing to say. I would help him if I could. But brothers have to settle accounts, and you have to pay back the money. I ask all the villagers to be witnesses."
Old man Zhao was almost mad to death, "Jiadong can't even protect himself, and you are still playing rogue here. Your eldest brother is studying, where did he get the money?"
"Dad, don't say that my eldest brother has no money. In addition to studying, he also teaches in the county school. I heard that he also copies books to sell in his spare time. How can he afford such a big house in the county town? How can the servants at home afford it? Don't tell me that the house is rented. We all know it. If you don't believe it, you can go to the government office to check.
He is a scholar and owns a big house in the county town. He would surely not cheat his brother, who was left with nothing, out of his five taels of silver, right? ”
Zhao Xiaoyu wanted to give his dad a thumbs up, Dad is awesome! Daddy is mighty, Daddy is awesome!
