Chapter 864 The scum brother, scum father, get away (10)
When Mrs. Zhang and Meng Wenang were both in a panic, she reminded: "Dad seems to be ill, and we need to call a doctor."
"Yes, we need to hire a doctor." Ms. Zhang finally calmed down and looked at Meng Wenang, "Wenang, go to the town and hire a doctor."
It was so late, and the only active male in the family was Meng Wenang, so the task of calling a doctor could only be assigned to him.
Meng Wenang wanted to shirk it. After all, it was too late at this time. It would take an hour to walk to the town and two hours to go back and forth, which was equivalent to half a night. But Meng Chongxi suddenly fell ill, and he had to go. He also had to go
Relying on Meng Chongxi's help to pay off gambling debts.
So, he went anyway.
Mrs. Zhang's face was filled with worry: "Yan'er, what should we do? Your father is ill, and the gambling shop will soon come to collect debts. I'm afraid this family will be broken up."
"My eldest brother got into trouble just once or twice. Every time, dad took the blame and we endured the hardship. Do you really think that my eldest brother can get into the imperial examination?"
Zhang was silent. If it were five or six years ago, she would still have such hope.
Over the years, Meng Wenang has become more and more shameless, telling lies one after another. She is not a fool. He simply uses the family's money to eat and drink, and he doesn't look like he is studying. Only this old man seems to be possessed, always thinking that the child
There will be success.
Now that I've gotten into gambling, I'm afraid it's not just once or twice.
"They say that for a man, the trouble was caused by the eldest brother, and it is up to him to solve it himself. This time the family has revealed the truth, he will not repent, and will only get worse." Qian Yan said, "Dad is going to sell me to him to pay off the bet.
Debt cannot guarantee that it will not harm other people in the family in the future."
"He has lived a very prosperous life in recent years, but has made no contribution. He has repeatedly caused troubles and brought trouble to his family. He is not responsible and will not learn a lesson. It is better to wait for the debtor to come and cut off two of his fingers. Maybe he will learn a lesson.
.”
Zhang's face turned pale, but she did not immediately refute.
"Do you remember Crazy Li who was wandering in the town?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Remember."
"Crazy Li got involved in gambling when he was young. He first sold his son and daughter, then his wife, and finally sold his hard-working mother in a frenzied manner. This was all because of gambling. Later, he owed too much debt and could not repay it, so he was chopped off.
It took five fingers to finally stop gambling, but people are also crazy." Qian Yan said about Crazy Li's deeds, which is something everyone in the town knows, "Every time I go to town, I meet him crazy and calling.
Wife, children and mother, but no one sympathizes.”
Zhang: “Then I’ll listen to you.”
Meng Chongxi, who was listening in the audience, struggled to stop him. He wanted to shout and abuse Qian Yan, but he couldn't make a sound. Now he couldn't even make facial expressions and could only lie stiffly on the bed and stare.
Qian Yan glanced at Meng Chongxi's desperate eyes from the corner of her eye, and took Ms. Zhang to her room to rest, while she stayed to take care of Meng Chongxi.
She closed the door and sat motionless.
I'm paralyzed, how else do I need to take care of me?
Ignoring Meng Chongxi's eyes, she meditated and practiced. But her mind was thinking about making money. She couldn't live in such a tight life all the time, without even being able to eat a good meal.
She's not used to it.
The only thing that can be used now is her embroidery skills. She does have medical skills, but this has no provenance for the time being. It will take some time for this to become legitimate.
At dawn, Meng Wenang finally rushed back with the doctor.
He looked a little embarrassed, looking away helplessly and sweating profusely.
When the doctor let go, he quickly asked what was going on.
The doctor said there was nothing he could do. He had not diagnosed Meng Chongxi's illness.
