As they approached the Xiao family compound, Granny Yang grabbed Qiu's arm.
“Oh dear! With Jingchuan in this state, your older brother definitely won’t continue to support Wenkai’s studies. We must make plans as soon as possible.”
“Didn’t the Jingchuan family want to split up? We can separate them.” Qiu frowned slightly. Shen Yunsheng was different from Xiao Jingchuan. If they didn’t help Shen Yunsheng, their brother-in-law would turn a blind eye, but Xiao Jingchuan was their brother-in-law’s only son. Their brother-in-law would definitely not stand idly by, and might even turn against them!
“Wen Kai’s family, don’t be in such a hurry. If we bring up the division of the family now, people will definitely call us ungrateful. This matter needs to be considered carefully.”
Granny Yang also planned to divide the family property. Now that the eldest son's family had no further use, she didn't want them to be a burden on her second son's family.
Qiu couldn't help but sigh again. If she had known earlier that Xiao Jingchuan would become a living dead, she would definitely have agreed when Shen Yunsheng proposed dividing the family property.
“We cannot neglect Lord Lin, Mr. Wenkai. Go and make some tea now.”
Granny Yang wanted to find out more about whether Xiao Jingchuan would receive a reward.
Logically speaking, Xiao Jingchuan saved the people of Jinzhu Town, which should be a first-class merit. Even if the General Protector of the Nation is a miser, he would not refuse to give out a bonus!
After quickly catching up with the carriage, Granny Yang casually gave the order.
“Jingchuan’s family, you go and tidy up Jingchuan’s room first. I’ll have the villagers bring Jingchuan over later.”
"No need to clean, the room is clean."
Shen Yunsheng took out the key he always carried with him, went inside and opened the door.
When the carriage arrived at his doorstep, Lin San told the driver to stop.
Just as Deng Chengen was about to ask the villagers to help carry Xiao Jingchuan, Lin San went into the carriage, picked up Xiao Jingchuan, and handed him to the villagers outside the carriage.
In no time
They carried Xiao Jingchuan to the east wing.
Not wanting to disturb Xiao Jingchuan's rest, Deng Chengen said goodbye to Shen Yunsheng and led the villagers away from the east wing.
Seeing that Lin San was still in Xiao Jingchuan's bedroom, Granny Yang deliberately probed, "Lord Lin, my Jingchuan is so badly injured, will the imperial court pay for his medical expenses?"
Lin San sneered. This old hag was disgusting. His eldest son was injured like this, and she was still thinking about money.
"Ever since Brother Xiao was injured, the General has been using ginseng to prolong his life. The General has already spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to save Brother Xiao. From now on, you will have to find your own way."
"I...I'm just a penniless and powerless old woman, what can I do!"
Granny Yang was extremely disappointed. Since there was no bonus, she no longer cared whether Xiao Jingchuan was alive or dead.
"Jingchuan's wife, please take good care of Lord Lin. I'll go help prepare lunch."
Granny Yang felt it was bad luck to stay even a moment longer, so she quickly gave some instructions and left.
Shen Yunsheng sneered. This old hag is so pragmatic. As soon as she heard there was no bonus, she ran faster than a rabbit.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Jingchuan sneered inwardly. That old hag Yang was wicked. In his previous life, she not only killed his entire family, but also made his own son, Shen Wenkai, take his father's place and recognize the Prince of Zhennan. Even he was indirectly killed by the second branch of the family.
In this life, he not only has to protect his family, but also crush Granny Yang's entire family under his feet.
"Lord Lin, thank you for going to all the trouble to bring my husband back."
Shen Yunsheng sighed before bowing to Lin San to express his gratitude.
"Sister-in-law, just call me Lin San. Although Brother Xiao and I are not related by blood, we are brothers who have been through thick and thin together and have long regarded each other as family."
Seeing that Lin San had no airs of an official, Shen Yunsheng smiled and spoke.
"Xiao Lin, has my husband injured his head? Usually, only patients who suffer severe brain damage become vegetative."
Lin San was completely bewildered; it was the first time he had ever heard anyone refer to the living dead as "vegetative state people."
"Sister-in-law is truly a prophet; my brother Xiao has indeed injured his head."
Shen Yunsheng smiled bitterly to herself: [Where would I get the money to buy ginseng for my cheap husband? The only way now is to use my own blood to prolong his life!]
Xiao Jingchuan was taken aback. He heard his wife's thoughts again. As far as he knew, people who could use blood to cure diseases were not ordinary people. Perhaps she was also a reincarnated person.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Lin San took out his own money to pay the bonus.
“Sister-in-law, actually Brother Xiao has a bonus. Before we set off, the General prepared one hundred taels for Brother Xiao. But with the old lady here just now, it was inconvenient for me to give it to you.”
"Xiaolin, thank you for always thinking of us."
Lin San handed the money bag to Shen Yunsheng, who immediately reached out to take it.
She was glad that Lin San hadn't given the prize money to the old lady. Given her husband's current situation, even a thousand taels wouldn't be enough to live on, and even with the money she had earned before, it was only one hundred and sixty taels.
“Sister-in-law, I’ve heard about what happened in your family. That old lady is really going too far. You should make some plans as soon as possible.”
“She’s not just excessive, she tried to strangle me when I broke both my legs before, and now that my husband is in a vegetative state, she will definitely try to kill him.”
Shen Yunsheng couldn't help but complain whenever he thought of the old lady.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will keep an eye on her for you."
"It's no use. That old lady is rotten to the core. She might even be hoping we'll split up the family property right now!"
Shen Yunsheng sneered. Anyway, she had already paid off the loan sharks. Once she separated from her family, she would help her mother-in-law focus on her business.
Xiao Jingchuan was shocked. Twenty taels was no small sum, and his wife actually said that she had already paid it back.
"Sister-in-law, you should put the purse away quickly. If the old lady sees it, Brother Xiao's medicine money will be gone."
