Early the next morning, Mrs. Deng left the upper room, called Zhang Hugua and whispered to him: "Your father is very angry this time. There is something wrong with him. You can secretly go to the town and ask a doctor to come back and treat him." Take a look."
Zhang Hugua was really angry when he heard that he still hadn't recovered after one night. Thinking about it, why didn't his second brother, who was so obedient, stop listening this time? He would be angry too!
The second brother is really not willing to do anything for the family, and he is still angry with his father.
"Why bother going to town? I'll call Brother Mingde!" He said and was about to go.
Old Mrs. Deng called him to stop, "It's not like you don't know how good your father is. Your second brother is so angry with your father. Don't go out and tell him. If he asks you to go and see a doctor, just go. If someone asks you, just go." Say I'm sick, if you dare to say nonsense, your father won't hurt you."
Zhang Hugua was still afraid of his father, so he had no choice but to accept it honestly.
He was accustomed to being lazy. He walked out of the official road for a long time, but he didn't meet any bullock cart that could hitch a ride. His legs were tired from walking, and he didn't want to leave.
At this moment, a visiting doctor carrying a cloth banner came forward. Zhang Hugua's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is he a doctor? Come to my house quickly to see a doctor!"
Now you don’t have to walk far!
When the traveling doctor was invited back to Zhang's house, old Mrs. Deng looked at him twice and said, "So fast? Can it be done?"
Zhang Hugua didn't want his mother to catch him saying that he was lazy and didn't go to town, so he quickly said: "Okay, okay! What's wrong? This traveling doctor is also very good at medical skills. Let's show him to dad!"
Something flashed in Old Deng's eyes, and he nodded: "That's okay."
As he said that, he led the people to the inner room, and Zhang Hugua followed suit.
When he got to the back room, he saw his father lying motionless on the bed, with only his eyes moving around and his mouth a little crooked. Zhang Hugua was also startled. Was his father paralyzed with anger?
When the doctor checked his pulse, sure enough, he shook his head and said, "Are you angry? The liver qi is stagnated, the blood is blocked, the mouth is tilted and cannot speak, and the whole body is numb and unable to move. These are the symptoms of a stroke!"
Mr. Zhang listened on the bed and kept opening his mouth, but nothing came out.
Old Mrs. Deng grabbed his hand and cried: "Oh! How can this be good! I have told you not to be angry, but you don't listen. What am I going to do now?!"
Zhang Hugua was also anxious when he heard that his father had really suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. "Well, doctor, can my father still be cured?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "Let me prescribe some medicine and take a look. The most important thing is to relax and don't think too much. There is no chance that things will get better."
"Then hurry up and prescribe the medicine! Something can't happen to my dad!" Zhang Hugua said hurriedly, his dad can't die. If his dad dies, how can he use the banner to benefit from the future eldest brother and third brother? This is designated to be If the family is separated, he won't be able to get anything by then. This is not possible!
Zhang Laodou felt paralyzed when he heard that he couldn't feel relaxed. He rolled his eyes angrily and became unconscious again. He listened vaguely to his youngest son's worried words, and felt a little comforted in his heart.
In fact, if he knew Zhang Hugua's inner thoughts, he would be furious to death.
The doctor quickly wrote a prescription, collected the consultation fee, and left with a cloth banner on his shoulders. He came out of Songshan Village and turned towards the small road. His face was blank, thinking about a handful of copper plates in his hand, and then he took the broken silver in his arms. He took it out and weighed it, grinning happily.
You can earn so much money by paying back the doctor. Such a good thing. If Brother Donggua calls him, he will come back next time!
Here, Zhang Hugua took the prescription and some money and went to the town to get the medicine. At the same time, he told the eldest brother and the third brother that his father had suffered a stroke.
The reactions of the third and third bedrooms upon hearing the news were very different.
Here in the main house, Zhang Gugua was subconsciously not too sad when he heard that his father had suffered a stroke and could not move. Now that Song'er has bought a house in the county, his wedding date has been set, and he has his father-in-law to rely on. Here at home
Not much money can be squeezed out, so this dad seems to be not so important for the time being.
The main thing is that he is busy attending a gathering of a poetry club these days. This poetry club is full of children, and everyone is of about the same level. It is rare for him to find a sense of presence in it. He drinks tea and recites poetry every day.
It's time to go up.
If he went back, he might have to stay at home for a few days to take care of his illness. He couldn't bear to live in that shabby house.
He made an excuse that he had been busy these past two days and couldn't leave. As soon as the busy work was over, he would go back to see his father.
As for Zhang Digua, when he heard that his father had suffered a stroke, he was so anxious that he immediately drove the mule cart back with Zhang Hugua.
Worried about dad's health? That's not a big deal.
Before I could get the money, my father suffered a stroke. He had to go back and take a look!
What happened? Can I still get the money?
Zhang Hugua didn't know the twists and turns between the two brothers. He just thought that the eldest brother was not in a hurry to go back after hearing that his father had something to do, but the third brother was so anxious. The third brother should be more filial to his father.
It's hard to say that the third brother will be more reliable in the future. I don't know when my eldest nephew will be able to become an official. But niece Xinghua will enter the palace soon. Next year she will know what kind of noble person she is, and she will be able to take advantage of it immediately.
It would be better to fawn over the third brother more.
Zhang Hugua thought, if his father is unreliable, he will have to make plans for himself. He hasn't even set up shop yet, so how will he get there in the future?
The two brothers had different thoughts. When they returned home, Zhang Hugua asked Miao to cook the medicine, while Zhang Digua went straight to the upper room.
When Old Madam Deng saw that only Zhang Digua had returned, and heard what Zhang Hugua said about Zhang Gugua's request, she felt a little surprised, but also a little unsurprised.
Looking at Mr. Zhang on the bed, he felt a little mocked in his heart, as if he was also mocking himself.
How could such sons crawl out of her belly?
As soon as Zhang Digua entered the room, he rushed to the bedside with a look on his face, "Dad, what's wrong with you! Your son was fine when he left yesterday, why is he like this?"
Zhang Laodou had been angry for a while and had just recovered. He saw his third son coming back to see him. He felt comforted, but the eldest son was not there. He rolled his eyes again and again. He wanted to say something but couldn't, so he had to
Look at old Deng.
Old Mrs. Deng said: "The boss said that he has something to do and he can't leave. He will come back to see you in two days."
Zhang Laodou listened and felt angry. What could be more important than his father being sick?
But he subconsciously didn't want to think deeply, and only comforted himself. The eldest son was a scholar and didn't have much time, so he could understand. No, the third son would come back immediately. His son would naturally care and be filial to him.
Zhang Digua saw with his own eyes that his father could not speak or move. He was so surprised that he was almost speechless.
But thinking about the money, he quickly looked at Old Deng and asked, "What's wrong with dad? How come he's so angry that he's so angry?"
Old Deng didn't even raise his eyes, and said: "I'm so angry with your second brother. Your father asked him to come back and sign another ten years and borrow eighty taels of silver. But he quit this time and said he would sign another ten."
I will be working until I am fifty-two years old, and I will be too old to move by then, so the Cheng family will not do it."
"No, after a few more words, the person left angrily. Your father was so angry that he rolled his eyes and pouted. After one night, he actually had a stroke!"
Zhang Digua listened and subconsciously said: "How could the second brother do this? Is he crazy? How dare he disobey dad?!"

Well, if I don’t let him die, he hasn’t seen his eldest grandson being elected as an official! He hasn’t seen his granddaughter enter the palace and become a nobleman and have a great future, →_→
