Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2999 Where did the money go? (four more)

"Come on, Ju'er, eat something, drink some water, and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Yang Ruoqing put a bowl of hot egg noodles in front of Ju'er, and said softly.

This girl, who had recovered a little a few days ago, couldn't sit still at home, and immediately packed up a few changes of clothes, ignoring that she and Chen Biao were not married yet, so she just ran away like that Chen Biao's family looked for Chen Biao.

Then for the past few days, she stayed at Chen Biao's house, helping to take care of Chen Biao's father and comfort Chen Biaoniang.

Ju'er glanced at Yang Ruoqing, her eyes were filled with gratitude, then she picked up her chopsticks and devoured the meal without saying a word.

Yang Ruoqing sat down opposite her, picked up one of Dazhi's small spring shoes and put them in there, waiting patiently for the chrysanthemums to finish eating before talking about the situation of the Chen family.

Seeing Ju'er eating like this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help feeling distressed.

This girl must have been at Chen Biao's house for the past few days, so she couldn't eat or sleep well, right?Why!

Thinking about it, the current situation of Chen Biao's family...

"Sister, I'm full!"

Ju'er wiped her mouth and burped.

"Take another sip of hot tea." Yang Ruoqing said again.

"Yeah!" Ju'er picked up the hot tea in front of her and drank a few gulps, then sighed in satisfaction.

"I haven't eaten so full and so well for several days," she said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Why, you went here to help take care of Chen Biao's father, and their family didn't even give you a full meal?"

Ju'er said: "Even if there is enough to eat, in their family's situation, his father has pain all over his body from time to time, and sometimes he vomits blood, who wants to have enough to eat?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "That's true."

Ju'er went on to say, "Besides, their family is desperately struggling now, and all the money is used to buy medicine for his father,"

"During the few days at his house, their rice was almost finished. He and his mother ate porridge with wild vegetables and pancakes with mixed grains. The little white rice left was reserved for his father and me to eat."

"Bought half a catty of meat a day and came back to eat. Both mother and son were reluctant to eat it. It was not enough for his father to eat alone,"

"Chen Biao felt sorry for me and secretly boiled an egg for me to eat. Then yesterday I suddenly became dizzy and frightened Chen Biao. He wanted me to come back desperately, so I came back."

After listening to Ju'er's words, Yang Ruoqing put down her needlework in surprise and looked at Ju'er.

"Impossible?" she said.

"Your brother-in-law and I went to the county medical center to visit, and left Chen Biao ten taels of silver, just to let him buy more delicious food for his father."

"Even if it's buying medicine, it won't cost ten taels of silver in just a few days, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"What? Ten taels of silver?" Ju'er was surprised.

"I don't know at all, Chen Biao didn't tell me, besides,"

"I've been at his house for the past few days. I think his family's situation is really no money. It's almost impossible to solve the problem. The mother and son worry about it every day. Chen Biao is thinking of going out to borrow money..."

"Sister, I dare not tell you. In fact, I came to you today to borrow some money from you, to borrow money for Chen Biao's family..."

"Did Chen Biao ask you to borrow money from me or yourself?" Yang Ruoqing interrupted Ju'er and asked.

Ju'er hurriedly said: "Chen Biao doesn't know about this, but I see them in such a difficult situation and want to help,"

"My father probably doesn't have any money. My mother probably has some private money, but my mother will definitely not borrow it. After thinking about it, I can only ask you for help."

Speaking of this, Ju'er lowered her head, "But now I heard that my sister said that she has given Chen Biao's family ten taels of silver, so I can't say this!"

Yang Ruoqing didn't answer Ju'er's words, but sat there with a slight frown.

Thinking about the whereabouts of the ten taels of silver.

It stands to reason that she is very accurate in judging people, and Chen Biao shouldn't be the kind of person who cheats money.

This matter needs to be clarified.

"Ju'er, when are you going to Chen Biao's house again?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Ju'er said: "I probably won't go these few days. If I did, I wouldn't be able to help you. Instead, I would have another mouth to eat."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Alright then, you can go back and have a good rest."

Ju'er nodded, "Chen Biao's family didn't say much about the marriage. I thought they were very happy to hear that I didn't regret the marriage."

"But they don't seem to be as happy as I thought, sister, why do you think this is?"

Looking at Ju'er's suspicious eyes, Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because of Chen Biao's father that they don't have the time to think about other things."

Ju'er sighed, "Alright then, sister, I'll go back first."

"Well, I'll take you to the gate of the yard."

Just as Yang Ruoqing accompanied Ju'er to the gate of the courtyard, she happened to see a person walking quickly on the road ahead.

"Chen Biao?" Ju'er was surprised to see him immediately.

Yang Ruoqing was also a little surprised.

"Chen Biao, here, here!"

Ju'er quickly stood on tiptoe, waved her hands towards the road, and shouted loudly.

Chen Biao also saw the two sisters at the gate of the courtyard here, and quickly trotted to them.

Out of breath, she greeted Yang Ruoqing: "My boss..."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Ju'er came back on the front foot, and you followed on the back foot, is there something wrong?"

Ju'er also asked with a look on her face.

Chen Biao said: "This dress of yours fell, and I brought it to you."

Ju'er saw it and quickly took it.

Then he said to Chen Biao: "Go back quickly, your father is still waiting for you to go back and take care of him!"

Chen Biao nodded, "Yes."

Here, Yang Ruoqing said: "Since everyone has arrived at my door, come in and drink a bowl of hot tea before leaving. Don't worry about this bowl of tea. I still have something to ask Chen Biao."

Chen Biao smiled gratefully and said, "Okay."

In the room, Yang Ruoqing poured a bowl of tea for Chen Biao, and Ju'er followed her in.

Seeing that Chen Biao had finished drinking his tea, Yang Ruoqing first asked a few questions about his father's condition.

Chen Biao shook his head, "The situation is not very good, and the energy of the whole person is watching, and it is getting worse day by day. My mother said that it is hard to say whether I will be able to pass this February."

Yang Ruoqing said: "This disease is a fatal disease, hey."

Chen Biao said: "Yes, we know it in our hearts, but seeing my father like this, I still feel very uncomfortable. The daily life at home is not what people live..."

He raised his hands and wiped his face.

This face is so thin that it doesn't look like it.

His eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked haggard.

"Chen Biao, I asked Ju'er before, but your family can't get rid of the pot now?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Chen Biao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame.

Yang Ruoqing said: "What about the money? I asked you to get some delicious food for your father. It's only been a few days, so it won't be spent so quickly, right?"

Chen Biao frowned, bit his lip, and the shame on his face deepened a bit.
