Chapter 4900 It shouldn’t be
“Mei’er, if I can’t do it, I’ll risk my life and borrow some money from my third brother. No matter what, we have to take Dabai to the county hospital to have a look. Ah, it’s not good for the child to stay like this. Don’t you think so?”
Under Wang Hongquan’s constant glances, Wang Shuanzi couldn’t help but discuss this carefully with Yang Huamei.
"I don't want you to come forward, I'll borrow it..." he added.
Yang Huamei smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter whether you borrow it or I borrow it, isn't it all a waste of my friendship with my mother's family? Is there any difference?"
Wang Shuanzi stopped talking.
Wang Hongquan gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go find Shuanzi's two sisters and ask them to help us think of some way to get a few taels of silver. We still have some in our backyard. A pig weighing a hundred pounds, It looks like I can sell it for one tael of silver later, so I asked the Sun family to take the pig away. No matter what happens, we fry pots and sell iron and have to treat Dabai’s legs!”
Stop saying this, Wang Hongquan stood up and went out with his hands behind his back.
......
On that day, Da Sun and Xiao Jie's father came over and took away the pigs from Wang Hong's family's backyard.
The pigs were killed at midnight, and at dawn, fresh pork was placed on the chopping board in the pork shed at the entrance of the village.
Da Sun sent fresh tube bones and pork belly to Yang Huazhong's house.
"This tube bone is for my in-laws to stew in soup. It is good for the legs. The pork belly is for you to add to the dish. There are also two kilograms of tenderloin. I will give you half a kilogram. I have to send the other half kilogram to the Luo family. Baby, eat it.”
In the main room, Mrs. Sun was talking to Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun.
Both Yang Huazhong and Mr. Sun were extremely grateful to Mr. Sun.
Sun said: "The third child was worrying about what to cook for his father today. Unexpectedly, sister, you sent me the tube bones. This is really good. There is also tenderloin. The children like to eat it. "Sister, you are serious."
Da Sun said with a smile: "Last night, Lao Wang's family rushed to send a pig over. The pig is not very big, weighing less than a hundred pounds, otherwise the spine here would be even more meat. Much.”
< br>"We originally didn't plan to accept it. We couldn't make much money by killing a hundred-jin pig and selling it for meat, but the old Wang family insisted on giving the pig to us. We had no choice. Seeing that we were related to each other, we had to accept it. , gave them a tael of silver, so we will probably only earn a hundred yuan for this trip!"
"Old Wang's family?" Yang Huazhong was stunned and asked.
Da Sun said: "Which other old Wang family can there be? Of course it is the old Wang family that your sister married, Wang Hongquan!"
This time, Yang Huazhong was even more surprised.
"I remember their piglet. It was a piglet caught last fall. Why did it have to be put out after raising it for more than half a year? It shouldn't be!"
Follow it. According to the farmer's rules, the pigs must be raised to a hundred, dozens of kilograms, or even two hundred kilograms before being sold, and the butchers also like to harvest big fat pigs, which make a lot of money.
Sun really did accept it for the sake of family ties!
"Why are they in such a hurry to sell their pigs? Is there something wrong? Sister, have you asked?" Yang Huazhong asked again.
Da Sun said: "I didn't ask, but their family seems to be in a hurry to use money. According to the rules, the money for the pig has to wait until we sell the pork before we can settle the settlement, but Lao Wangtou is so brave with us. The money has been paid in advance.”
Yang Huazhong frowned.
Sun said: "Could it be because of Dabai?"
Yang Huazhong was awakened by these words.
“It’s very possible, maybe they want Dabai to go to the county town with us to treat his leg!”
At night, both Dabai and Xiaohei fell asleep. Under the dim soybean oil lamp in the main room, Wang Hongquan, Wang Shuanzi, and Yang Huamei gathered together and counted the money.
The entire property of Lao Wang's family, including the money he embezzled from his two sisters, is all on this table.
"Shuanzi, have you counted clearly? How many are there?" Wang Hongquan asked Wang Shuanzi eagerly. Wang Shuanzi raised his head and said: "Dad, the total is three taels of silver and four hundred and thirty-one copper coins."
Wang Hongquan said: "Isn't it a good idea to go to the county hospital?"
Wang Shuanzi thought for a while and said: "If we just grab some medicine and come back, including the expenses on the road and accommodation money, it should be enough. If we want to live there, the money can only last for four or five days at most."
Wang Hongquan was in trouble...
"Is Meier in the house?"
Yang Huazhong's voice suddenly came from the yard outside.
“Here it is!”
Yang Huamei responded, quickly opened the door and welcomed Yang Huazhong in.
"Third brother, why are you here this late at night?" she asked, blocking the table behind her with her back, not wanting Yang Huazhong to see what they were doing.
Yang Huazhong said: "I just wanted to come over and ask you. On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, your fifth brother and I are going to send our father to the county town to see his legs. Do you want to take Dabai and us to see his legs together?"
Yang Huamei's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Third brother, we also have this intention..."
Yang Huazhong grinned, "That's it."
He immediately took out five taels of silver and put it into Yang Huamei's hand, "Keep this money!"
Yang Huamei was stunned.
"Third brother, what are you..."
Yang Huazhong said: "Don't misunderstand, this is not what third brother gave you, it is what you deserve in the first place."< br>
“Huh?”
Yang Huamei was surprised and turned to look at Wang Hongquan and Wang Shuanzi behind her.
Both the Wang family and his son also heard the commotion here. Now they all gathered around and were shocked to see the five taels of silver in Yang Huamei's hand.
Yang Huazhong explained with a smile: "On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, dad summoned all of us to raise money for you. At that time, Yongxian took out a pair of silver bracelets. Later, the silver bracelets were secretly taken off by dad. He gave it back to Yongxian, but Yongxian didn’t know about it at all.”
< br>"Yongxian thought that it would be inconvenient for you to buy and sell the silver bracelets directly, so he combined with me and sold the silver bracelets. It would be better to just send the silver bracelets here. You should collect them quickly!"
After hearing Yang Huazhong’s explanation, Wang Hongquan and his son were surprised and happy.
Yang Huamei was so moved that she cried.
After Yang Huazhong left, Wang Hongquan sighed: "Mei'er, your natal family is really giving us timely help. Now Dabai's leg can be repaired with money!"
Wang Shuanzi also With a look of emotion on his face, he nodded repeatedly.
Yang Huamei put away her tears and said to Wang Hongquan and Wang Shuanzi: "I don't plan to take all my belongings with me on this trip to the county seat, just five taels of silver. If the doctor says that I can recover, I will I’m sending a message asking you to send over the three taels of money you have at home.”
“If the doctor says it can’t be cured and you still have lameness, I won’t waste that money.”
Wang Hongquan and Wang Shuanzi looked at each other, unable to understand what Yang Huamei was doing.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to sell the pot and sell the iron. We now have more than eight taels of silver on hand, why don't we work hard to treat it?" Wang Hongquan asked.
Yang Huamei shook her head, her eyes filled with determination.
