Chapter 27: Huasheng's Medicine Money Was Denied

~8 min read 1,469 words

As soon as Jiang Jinshi finished speaking, Jiang Li ran away in a slip of smoke with her little mouth pouting.

Jiang Li naturally didn't believe what Jiang Jinshi said, just thinking that the other party was teasing her.

As soon as the sky brightened, Jiang Jinshi climbed up from the floor and ran three times back and forth to fill the water vat in the house.

When preparing to set off, Jiang Jinshi suddenly remembered something, pulled Li Xinyue to the side, and urged in a low voice.

"If the eldest and second uncles come to make trouble, don't have disputes with them, go to the intersection yesterday and find those three people for help."

Li Xinyue nodded and agreed, but didn't take it to heart in her heart.

They were much easier to deal with than refugees or robbers, nothing more than some verbal disputes, and she could handle it completely.

Jiang Jinshi was worried about Xiao Lizi and his mother. This cheap wife of his didn't know the world, and he was afraid they would suffer.

Although he estimated that the other party wouldn't have the heart to come and make trouble in these two days, he had to make some preventive preparations.

Taking out two taels of silver from his arms and handing them to Li Xinyue, Jiang Jinshi finally left with peace of mind.

In this way, the silver rewarded by the system for the second time had been spent almost completely, leaving only two taels of silver on his body to rely on.

Hope this trip goes smoothly and there can be some harvest.

As soon as Jiang Jinshi left, Li Xinyue took Jiang Li out.

She planned to go around Da Jiang Mountain to see if there were any good things that could earn points.

For her sister-in-law's invitation, Jiang Li naturally agreed happily. She was bored every day, and finally someone accompanied her to play.

In the same village, some are happy and some are worried.

Da Ya was cooking breakfast on the stove at this moment, and curses were constantly coming from the room.

"This Huasheng, actually wants to collect one tael of silver from us, I think he is crazy for money!"

The person speaking was Jiang Jinshi's eldest uncle Jiang Fu, who was full of anger at this moment.

Yesterday, Huasheng came to treat Jiang Shizai's family, running around, and also took a lot of herbs from home.

After Jiang Shizai's family recovered a bit, Huasheng proposed to collect one tael of silver for medicine.

Because everyone was really scared of diarrhea at the time, they didn't dare to refuse directly, so they pushed it to collect money today.

They were all villagers, and Huasheng didn't doubt it, preparing to come again tomorrow.

And this morning, after Jiang Shizai's family found that they had recovered, they started discussing this tael of silver.

Facing Jiang Fu's complaints, Jiang Gui was also on the same front.

"They are all villagers, we all said thank you, and he still has the face to want our medicine money? tui!"

Jiang Shizai, sitting in the first seat, had a dark face and slapped the table hard.

"It's impossible to give him silver. If he has any complaints, tell him to come to me."

Da Ya's younger brother Jiang Er Dan hurriedly clapped and flattered.

"Grandpa is right, that Huasheng wouldn't dare to come to Grandpa to ask for silver."

Jiang Shizai closed his eyes with a serious face, but was ecstatic in his heart. The flattery of his grandson and family was very useful to him.

Da Ya, who was outside, listened to the conversation of the whole family, with no expression on her face, and silently scooped another ladle of water from the wooden bucket at her feet into the pot.

Before Da Ya could serve breakfast, Huasheng's shouting had already come from outside the courtyard.

"Is Uncle Jiang at home?"

Jiang Gui's eldest son Jiang Wang was the first to open the door and walk out, responding unceremoniously: "What are you shouting about early in the morning?"

Huasheng accompanied with a smile and said: "So it's Nephew Jiang, are your father and grandfather at home?"

Jiang Wang rolled his eyes at Huasheng, his tone quite impatient: "Why do you care if they are at home? If you have something to say, say it."

Huasheng's face was a bit ugly, but he still tried his best to accompany with a smile, "Didn't we agree yesterday to come and ask for medicine money today? Nephew, look..."

Jiang Wang reached out to pick his ears and responded unceremoniously: "Who is your nephew, don't climb relatives blindly."

Huasheng couldn't bear it anymore, just about to scold Jiang Wang, but saw Jiang Shizai's family walking out of the room.

Now Huasheng didn't care about Jiang Wang, a junior, and hurriedly greeted Jiang Shizai.

"Uncle Jiang!"

Jiang Shizai stopped, his hands folded on his cane, and said in a deep voice: "My grandson is right, you and I have no blood relationship, so it's better not to climb relatives blindly."

Huasheng didn't understand the other party's meaning now, this was to put down the bowl and scold the mother!

But he still held a glimmer of hope, after all, this was not a small amount.

"Naturally, I don't dare to climb high, I just came to ask for my tael of silver medicine money."

Jiang Fu held his belly and laughed, outputting to Huasheng.

"You say one tael of silver is one tael? What if you dig some grass roots from the ground and give them to us to drink, we also have to pay you this tael of silver?"

"Shameless, if it weren't for my medicine, you would have long ago..."

Before Huasheng could continue to attack, Jiang Shizai opened his mouth to make a final decision on this matter.

"My son is right, although my family had abdominal pain yesterday, it was finally supported by ourselves, and it has nothing to do with your grass root water."

A sentence concluded the other party's herbal medicine as grass roots, and his remarks were exactly the same as Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui, which could only be said to be worthy of being a family.

Huasheng was obviously angered, his whole face flushed and he roared: "Good! Good! Good! Very good! Your Jiang family will die at my door in the future, and I won't save you."

Jiang Gui sneered: "With your three-legged cat's medical skills, it's about the same to harm cats and dogs, don't come to harm the villagers of Da Jiang."

Huasheng, who was angry, pointed at Jiang Shizai's family with his finger, and finally couldn't say a word, only to wave his hand and leave.

After Huasheng left, Jiang Fu hurriedly praised him.

"Father's method is still good! Saved a tael of silver for the family in a few words."

Jiang Shizai was proud: "You guys just learn! This big family relies on me to support it."

Jiang Gui couldn't see his eldest brother flattering in front of his father, so he decided to lead the topic away.

"Eldest brother, why hasn't Da Ya cooked yet? Father is hungry after this trouble."

Jiang Fu's smiling face stiffened, and he cursed this money-losing commodity for always holding him back.

When Da Ya brought breakfast into the room, it was naturally inevitable to be scolded. Everyone in the room had food to eat, only Da Ya stood at the door with her head down and said nothing.

During the meal, Jiang Shizai suddenly said: "Find a time to sell Da Ya into the city!"

Jiang Fu raised his head, a bit puzzled: "I asked before, it can't be sold for a price!"

Jiang Shizai put the bowl on the table fiercely, full of hatred that iron couldn't become steel.

"It can't be sold for a price, but it's better than eating for free. Besides, what's the use of asking a slave trader? Why don't you go to a brothel and ask?"

This remark made everyone enlightened, and Jiang Gui gave a thumbs up.

"Dad still has a way, the price in a brothel is always much higher than that of a slave trader."

Jiang Gui's second son Jiang Shun finally found an opportunity to interject, "If it were sold a few years earlier, it could be sold for a good price. Now it's an old maid, even a brothel can't pay much."

Da Ya's mother had a sudden inspiration, "I have an idea, brothels mainly look at the face to give money, find a rouge craftsman to pretend to try using rouge and smear it on her face, not only don't have to spend money, but also can sell more price." ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
