Pastoral little master

Chapter 239
Wu Jinlian had never seen the carriage of Qiduo's family before, so she was shocked when she saw these people.

However, repaying debts is a matter of course.

No matter how many of them there are, they are not afraid, the reason is on my side.

Besides, looking at these people's well-dressed clothes, maybe they can just pay back the money for the Fang family, and it's not in vain for me to come here.

With a sudden change of thought, Wu Jinlian calmed down.

After Tang Hu yelled, the two young men didn't touch Fang's mother, they still winked, seeing that Tang Hu's demeanor was a bit like the steward of a rich family, they didn't dare to offend him.

When Fang's mother saw Qiduo and the others coming back, she didn't care about Wu Jinlian, but ran over to see Dong'er, "Zhongyou, what did the doctor say?"

Fang Zhongyou shook his head with red eyes, "The doctor can only temporarily stop Dong'er from cramping, but if you want to be cured, you have to go to the big medical center in the county to try."

Hearing what her son said, Fang's mother caressed her grandson's thin face, weeping again.

Seeing Fang Zhongyou's mother and son talking to themselves and leaving her aside, Wu Jinlian was very dissatisfied, kicked a small stone next to her feet, and shouted, "Auntie, return the money quickly."

Qiduo looked at Wu Jinlian carefully, she was ordinary-looking, slightly fat, but she looked a little familiar, as if she had seen her before somewhere.

However, after thinking about it carefully, she still couldn't remember where she had seen Wu Jinlian.

When she got out of the carriage just now, she also saw Wu Jinlian instructing the two young men to be rough on the other mother, so she thought Wu Jinlian was some kind of bully.

Now I know my relatives only after hearing Wu Jinlian call Fang's mother and eldest aunt.

Being forced to pay by Wu Jinlian in front of Qiduo and the others, Fang's mother and Fang Zhongyou were even more ashamed.

The mother and the son begged Wu Jinlian for a few more days, but Wu Jinlian pressed her tightly and refused to let go.

Qiduo was in a hurry to take Dong'er to the county to see a doctor. The doctors in Xiaofangzhuang had mediocre skills and could only cure some simple colds. He couldn't solve more complicated diseases like Dong'er.

The doctor also said that Dong'er is starting to cramp right now, which should be a sign that his condition is getting worse, and he must be sent to the county town to seek treatment from a doctor with better medical skills as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger.

It would be fine if she didn't encounter this matter, but since it happened, she couldn't just sit idly by.

Seeing Little Dong'er suffering, she thought of Liu Lang.

Qiduo has a deep understanding of the despair when she has no money to see a doctor. Although her family is not said to be very rich, she can still afford to see a doctor for Xiaodong'er.

Qiduo is determined to pay off the debts for Fang's mother and son, but the money cannot be taken out so easily.

Spending money on Xiao Dong'er's medical treatment is to save lives, and paying off debts can be postponed for a while.

She rolled her eyes, pulled Fang's mother aside, and asked what was going on.

Mother Fang let out a long sigh, wiped her tears and told what had happened.

When Fang Zhongyou married his daughter-in-law, he had no money to pay the bride price. Fang Zhongyou's eldest uncle, Wu Jinlian's father-in-law, Tang Fushan, took two taels of silver to Fang, saying it was a congratulatory gift from him to his nephew.

Mother Fang accepted the money, and said that when the family conditions improved in the future, the money would be returned.

Tang Fushan scolded Mrs. Fang at the time, saying that he was the eldest brother, so what if he could help his younger sister if she was in trouble, and said that if the money was returned, the money would not be given to her.

Fang gratefully accepted the money and held a happy event for his son.

The matter of the money has never been mentioned. Unexpectedly, a year ago, Tang Fushan died of illness.

After Tang Fushan's death, Wu Jinlian began to come to ask for the money, saying that the money was borrowed. At first, Tang Fushan said that in a polite way, but in fact he told them many times in private, asking them to ask for the money back in the future.

Two taels of silver now plus interest, that is five taels.
After listening to Fang's mother, Qiduo became even more disgusted with Wu Jinlian.
Two liang of silver has three liang of interest in just three years, Wu Jinlian is really comparable to that blood-sucking leech.
Five taels of silver is not much in Qiduo's opinion, but for the impoverished Fang family, it is an astronomical figure.

The most hateful thing is that this money was originally given by Tang Fushan's mother-in-law. Now that Wu Jinlian has made such a fuss, Tang Fushan's kindness back then has been trampled underfoot.

"How is the current family situation of the Tang family?" Qiduo asked Fang's mother.

Fang's mother said that Tang Fushan was a butcher before his death, and he had a meat stall in Jishang, and his family was wealthy. Now this meat stall is managed by Wu Jinlian and his wife.

If the Tang family encountered a problem in their livelihood right now, and Wu Jinlian came to ask for money, Qiduo could still understand, but the Tang family clearly did not have to worry about food and drink, but came to persecute the poor Fang family, it was really hateful up.

"Ms. Fang, don't worry, I will help you solve this matter." Qiduo comforted her mother softly.

Seeing Qiduo's confident face, Mother Fang swallowed what she was going to say.
She and Qiduo walked back to the yard.

"Auntie, have you settled the matter of the silver, bring it here quickly, I have to go back to work." Wu Jinlian saw Qiduo talking with Fang's mother for a while, wondering if Qiduo gave Fang's mother the silver.

"Sister-in-law, what evidence do you have for saying that Aunt Fang owes you money?" Qiduo looked at Wu Jinlian and asked with a smile.

"Evidence? What evidence? What I say is evidence." Wu Jinlian was very arrogant.
"What you said is evidence? Huh, a joke. You just want to talk to Mrs. Lai Fang for five taels of silver. There is no way. I also said that you owe me 100 taels of silver. Quickly bring it." Qiduo looked at Wu Jin Lian held out her hand mockingly, asking for 100 taels of silver.

It's also because the Fang family's mother and son are honest and kind and easy to bully, if it were someone else, no one would pay attention to her no matter how far they had driven Wu Jinlian away with a stick.

Tang Hu looked at Qiduo with eyes full of admiration, his lips curled up, and he also looked at Wu Jinlian and stretched out his hand, "Return the 100 taels of silver quickly, or you will look good on me."

Wu Jinlian was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She came to ask for money because she saw that Fang's mother and son were easy to bully.

But I didn't expect that I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, and I ran into a tricky boss who was difficult to deal with.

"Who are you? This is our family's business. It has nothing to do with you outsiders. Don't meddle in your own business." Wu Jinlian shouted angrily.

"Who are we? You, a woman, are not qualified to take care of you. I'm just here to tell you that since you come to ask for a debt, you must have a proof. Otherwise, be careful, we will drag you to an official and sue you for blackmail." Soup nonsense.

Tang Hu, who closed his eyes and stared at him, was quite evil.

Tan Dejin also waved his hand, "Let's go, we have serious business to do, so we don't have time to listen to your gossip."

He was also anxious about Dong'er's condition.

Of course Wu Jinlian was unwilling to leave just like that, but after weighing the strengths of both sides, her side clearly had the upper hand.

And listening to Qiduo and the others, one knows that they are not easy to mess with. A good guy doesn't suffer from immediate losses, so this old bitch will take advantage today. Come back in a few days, and then there will be no one to back him up. Let's see how the old bitch will behave .

"Auntie, get the money ready, we'll pick it up in a few days." After leaving these words, Wu Jinlian was about to slip away with the two young men.

Seeing that she was still carrying the money, Tang Hu stood in front of the three of them and said with a serious expression, "I'll warn you again, Mrs. Wu Fang borrowed the money. If you dare to come here to make trouble, don't blame us for coming here." You're welcome."

Wu Jinlian looked at the aggressive Tang Hu, lowered her head, said yes in a low voice, and then fled with her tail between her legs.

"Zhongyou, let's go to the county as soon as possible. Dong'er's illness can't be delayed. Don't worry about the money. I'll pay for you for now, and it will be deducted from your salary in the future." Tan Dejin urged, and said the money at the same time thing.

He knew that Fang Zhongyou's mother and son might not accept it if they offered money.

But now it is equivalent to paying Fang Zhongyou's salary in advance. Relatively speaking, Fang Zhongyou's mother and son are easier to accept.
Taking a step back, Fang Zhongyou is just a long-term worker of his own family. If the money is given to him for nothing, it may not be a good thing if it gets out.

At the beginning, some people might say that he is righteous and kind, that he is a good person, but after a long time, maybe other caring people will find various excuses to ask him for money.

If anyone asks for it, I will give it. I don't have that kind of family background, and I don't run a philanthropic hall, so I can't stand such a toss.

If you don't give it, you are all long-term workers of your own family, and you will be said to treat one person more favorably than another, and maybe something will happen. Isn't it just asking for trouble.

Therefore, this money can only be 'temporarily borrowed' rather than free. In the future, Zhongyou will have to work hard to earn money to pay back.
This is what Qiduo told him in private before.

She knew that her father was soft-hearted and would not ignore death, so she hurriedly explained these reasons in advance.

It's not that he is reluctant to part with money, but that sometimes it seems to do good deeds, but in fact there will be endless troubles.

Along the way, Fang Zhongyou was really thinking about where Dong'er's medical expenses came from. Of course, he couldn't tell Tan Dejin about the salary advance.

Now that Tan Dejin took the initiative to raise it, how could he not be grateful and moved, this is life-saving money!
His knees softened, he hugged Dong'er and knelt down facing Tan Dejin, "Master, thank you for your kindness!"

Fang's mother saw her, and hurried to her son's side, and also knelt down with a thud, Qiduo was too late to drag her when she saw her.

"Boss, Miss Seven, Guanshi Tang, we mother and son can't repay you for your kindness even if we are oxen and horses." Mother Fang said with tears.

Not to mention anything else, being able to send Wu Jinlian away is already a great help.

Otherwise, according to Wu Jinlian's temperament, she would pester her endlessly all day, making people uncomfortable.

But now he is willing to pay in advance to treat his grandson's illness. Such a kind-hearted owner is really hard to find in the world.
Tan Dejin went to pull Fang Zhongyou, "Get up, the man has gold under his knees, he kneels and runs and kneels to his parents, how can he kneel at will."

Qiduo and Tang Hu went to pull Fangmu, Qiduo hurriedly said, "Ma'am, get up quickly, this is going to hurt my father."

After some consolation, Fang Zhongyou, mother and son finally got up.

Mother Fang locked the door and told the neighbors next door that she followed Qiduo and the others to the county seat.

When she came to see a doctor in the county, Qiduo naturally chose Fenglin Hall.

Wen Xiuyi was not in Fenglin Hall, so Qiduo went to Ge Fenglin and asked him to treat Dong'er himself.

Ge Fenglin checked Dong'er carefully, and then told Fang Zhongyou that Dong'er was fine at first, but the medicines he had taken before were not right, which is why the condition recurred so much that it worsened.Fortunately, it was delivered in time, otherwise there would be life-threatening.

Then, he picked up a pen and opened the prescription.
These words made everyone break into a cold sweat. Fortunately, they were discovered early.

However, Dong'er was fine, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Hu called Tan Dejin and Qiduo out of Fenglin Hall, saying that he wanted to discuss something with them.
