Chapter 18 Raising Money
Old Madam Duan glared at the First Madam Liu with dissatisfaction. How could she not know what she was thinking, and now things had come to this point.

If the Duan family doesn't unite, I'm afraid they may not be able to survive to the frontier, even though they have four grandchildren.

But the only one who can really hold up the family is the fourth brother. If something really happens to the fourth brother, I'm afraid the entire Duan family will be destroyed.

It’s a pity that the eldest son’s wife is so confused that she can’t even see this. Seeing that his mother was really anxious, the eldest son Duan An looked at Liu with dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking nonsense and let the eldest and the second take turns to go to the background."

The journey of exile is so hard that it's good enough for him to keep up with the team with his physique. How could he possibly carry others on his back?

What's more, he has several sons and he doesn't need to be the only one to carry them. After hearing what the man said, the eldest lady Liu shut up and Duan Jingshan walked over reluctantly.

He came in front of Duan Jingfei, pulled Duan Jingyun off his back, and violently carried him on his back.

"..."

He is half dead, it would be better for him to die early. He has to burden them with carrying him, and he will be exhausted to death by them sooner or later.

Duan Jingyun's body was already full of wounds, and when Duan Jingshan exerted so much force, he groaned in pain.

"Yeah." But she still gritted her teeth and endured it, but the second wife's tears came down instantly.

"..."

Jingyun has always been a strong person. He has never cried out in pain for such a long time. He must have cried out just now because he couldn't bear the pain anymore.

"..." Duan Jingfei clenched his back teeth.

She glared at Duan Jingshan with dissatisfaction and was about to reach out to snatch the fourth child from his back and carry him on her own back, but was stopped by Ding.

“……” Mrs. Ding gave him a look.

Now that Jingyun is injured so badly, I'm afraid someone will need to carry him for some time to come.

How can the third child alone not be able to carry it? Let the eldest son and the others take over so that the third child can have a break.

After all, we are asking for help from others, so we can't be picky about this or that right now. After receiving his mother's eyes, Duan Jingfei endured it.

However, the look he gave Duan Jingshan was still full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"..."

When nothing happened at home, the eldest family tried their best to please dad and the fourth son, and enjoyed the wealth created by dad and the fourth son.

Now that something has happened at home, they haven't even said a word of greeting so far, and they were even more dissatisfied when their grandmother asked them to come over.

And he was so rude to the fourth child. Even if they were implicated because of the second house, since they were a family, they should share the good times and the bad times.

When the Marquis' Mansion was rich and prosperous, they enjoyed a lot of good things with it. But now it has become so cold and indifferent, which is really disheartening.

Duan Jingyun was also feeling uncomfortable at the moment. He lay on Duan Jingshan's back and clenched his back teeth.

"..."

If there was any possibility, he would not let Duan Jingshan carry him on his back. But now it is not possible. If he does not let Duan Jingshan carry him on his back.

That means Third Brother is tired all by himself, and it won’t be long before his body breaks down.

But at this moment, listening to his aunt cursing over there, he felt hatred and annoyance in his heart, which made him feel even more heartbroken.

Qin Ran was walking at the back. Seeing Madam Liu still walking and cursing over there, she curled her lips in disdain.

"..."

I am not willing to do that. I have forgotten that when I was enjoying wealth and luxury with others, I was so happy that my chrysanthemums bloomed.

She looked at Li Jia and Ma Liu again, and she didn't believe them if they said they didn't do it on purpose.

Those bastards must have deliberately not taken a break at noon, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so hot in the first two days and they would have taken a break at noon.

But he didn't rest today, which was most likely directed at Duan Jingyun, and it was indeed the case.

The reason why Li Jia didn't let everyone rest was because he was targeting Duan Jingyun, thinking that he had no medicine left. If he continued to waste his energy, he would die soon. However, he didn't expect Duan Jingfei and the others to take turns carrying him.

But judging by the mood of their eldest wife, I guess they won’t be able to hold on for much longer.

The team didn't greet each other until the sun went down.

"Rest where you are."

As soon as the words fell, the whole team became noisy. This time, no one was sitting down, waiting to get dry food.

Otherwise, after sitting down, they had to stand up to get dry food, which was too tiring. They walked from morning to night and were so tired that they didn't want to eat.

Only Qin Ran didn't stand up. She sat down. It didn't matter whether she got the crappy black pancake or not. Resting for a while was better than anything else.

"Come here and get some dry food!" Ma Liu shouted again.

Everyone walked over, received their black cakes, and then sat down. Some people simply lay down without even eating the cakes.

Seeing that they were almost finished, Qin Ran was about to get up to get the cakes when Ding rushed to Li Jia.

"Sir, my son has a high fever. Please send someone to buy some medicine for us. Please!"

The second wife knelt down in front of Li Jia and began to cry.

Now Jingyun's injuries are getting worse and worse. If he doesn't take medicine, I'm really afraid he won't be able to hold on.

So I thought about trying to ask again to see if he could help me buy some medicine.

"Second Madam, what are you doing?" Li Jia pretended to hide aside.

He looked at Duan Jingyun again, pretending to be very embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, he looked at the second wife.

"Well, I'll make an exception and send someone to run a trip, but it will cost a lot of money to go back and forth."

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir. Tell me how much silver you need and I will go back and collect it right away."

Ding's eyes lit up and she immediately got up from the ground. As long as they were willing to buy medicine for Jingyun, she would gather together any amount of money.

"Well... after all this, plus the money for the medicine, it should be at least a hundred taels." Li Jia pinched his chin.

He glanced at Duan Jingyun again. Since he was not dead yet, he might as well help him.

"Fifty taels?" Ding was stunned.

Her parents' home didn't send any money at all, and the daughter-in-law only had fifty or so taels in her hand, and she was still short of that much.

When I thought that my son would survive if I bought the medicine, I nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go back and collect the money now." He turned around and ran towards Old Madam Duan and the eldest wife.

"Mother, the Lord has agreed to buy medicine for Jingyun. Now we are still short of fifty carts of silver. Can you help us get the money together?"

After hearing what the second son's wife said, Old Lady Duan looked at her daughter-in-law and the second and third sons' wives.

"You guys heard it too, please help!"

I didn't expect that Li Jia would agree to help buy the medicine. In that case, I have to get the money together no matter what.

Liu, who was already furious, immediately became gloomy after hearing what Old Madam Duan said.

"Mother, our Duan family is no longer what it used to be. Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. How can we afford it?"

After saying this, he glared at the Second Madam Ding with dissatisfaction. If she had not been implicated by them, she would not have suffered such a great crime. Now she came to borrow money from them. She was just dreaming.

Upon hearing her say this, Mrs. Ding immediately became anxious.

"Sister-in-law, Jingyun has a severe fever now. I hope you can help me because we are a family."
