Chapter 716 The Unlovable Eldest Daughter Twenty-Four
Having been married for many years, Jiang Huixin knew how to deal with him, so she immediately pretended to be hungry and fainted and closed her eyes. It was because she really couldn't cheer up and had nothing to eat, so closing her eyes took less effort than opening them.
Tang Mingshan left again.
He must find medicine for his son.
However, he was injured and couldn't walk fast at all.
*
Lin Jia'an set the wedding date in a hurry. When the day came, he invited the best wedding team in the city.
Chu Yunli's wedding dress was made of Fenghua brocade, the most fashionable material in the capital. It sparkled in the sun. The embroidery work on the wedding dress was exquisite and the flowers were lifelike. Everyone in the alley was stunned.
Previously, they only thought that Xiaoya was a little wealthier than their own family. Later, when they saw her preparing a dowry, they realized that she was richer than they imagined. But now... they feel that this couple is not from the same family as them.
However, as the couple got richer and richer, their attitude towards them did not change. The wedding banquet had already been served in the yard prepared by Lin Jiaan. The dishes were so good and the chef was so good that people couldn't stop eating.
The marriage went very smoothly, and the neighbors in the alley were talking about it after they returned home, feeling that they had seen the world.
"The room is really just like the painting. I heard that the chairs are all made of mahogany..."
"What's more, all the tables, chairs and benches are made of high-quality mahogany. In fact, this is the cheapest. Didn't you look at the furnishings in the house? There are also some ancient paintings from the previous dynasty. One piece is priceless."
When these words fell into the ears of Mrs. Jiu, she felt particularly uncomfortable. Previously, she had always thought that Lin Jia'an was a poor man who could never turn around. She wanted to hire Xiaoya back just because she didn't want to make things easier for the Lin family mother and son. It was also Xiaoya who wouldn't give her anything.
For the sake of face, she wanted to get people under her nose and teach them a lesson. The most important thing is that she took a fancy to Xiaoya's house... Unfortunately, the Lin family'an was too cruel, and Xiaoya was not afraid of it, so she ended up in trouble.
When she heard that the two of them were about to live a good life together, Mrs. Jiu's heart felt like a cat scratching her head.
Lin's mother's illness has almost recovered. She never interferes in the affairs of her son and daughter-in-law. The couple asked her to live in a new house in the inner city, and she lived there obediently. Recently, she wanted to learn the guqin, and her daughter-in-law found her.
People come back to teach.
Mother Lin was startled when she saw the violinist appear. After privately asking her son for the price of hiring the violinist, she repeatedly refused. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, she devoted herself to the piano.
If you don't learn well, all your money will be wasted. How can you bear this?
The only thing that made Mother Lin murmur was that the newlywed couple had to move to the original house.
What's there to live in in that shabby house?
Mother Lin guessed that the two of them had a purpose, but she didn't know what the purpose was. However, these two young men had their own ideas, so she didn't need to worry about them.
*
As for why the two of them wanted to live in the Lin family's house, it was naturally to deal with the Luo family.
How can you live your life with peace of mind when things are not done yet?
On the third day of their wedding, the two returned to the alley. When the neighbors saw it, they came up to say hello one after another. Some sisters-in-law even rolled up their sleeves to help her clean the yard.
While we were working in full swing, someone came to the door.
The person who came was Tang Mingshan. He asked everyone for help, but he only borrowed a few copper coins, which were not even enough to fill his stomach. Seeing that his son's injuries were starting to fester, he came here boldly.
As soon as he arrived outside the alley, he heard that the two of them got married and moved to the city. He thought that he was going to run away this time, so he didn't give up and got there, only to find that they had already moved back.
"Xiaoya, something happened at home." Tang Mingshan's leg was injured. He took good care of it before and walked with only a slight limp. Recently, he has been busy with other things and can't eat or sleep well. He has completely become a lame. And he
The injury on his stomach was so painful that he couldn't even straighten his waist, and his whole body was as rickety as an old man in his sixties.
Chu Yunli's eyes fell on his gray hair: "Don't tell me, I won't help."
Tang Mingshan: "..."
He still wanted to pester, so Lin Jia'an took a step forward: "Xiaoya and I got married, and I didn't tell you beforehand. If you still have brains, you should know what we mean, why bother to get together to make others uncomfortable?"
While the two were talking, another person came from the entrance of the alley.
This time it was Liu Xicai. He heard that his daughter's wedding date had been set, and he had been waiting at home for the two of them to come... Even if he didn't recognize him, he was just a relative, so he should send him a wedding invitation.
After waiting and waiting, there was still no one in sight on the big day. Liu Xicai was a little angry, pretended not to know, and went to find his brother to drink. He drank for two days, and he woke up today.
He really couldn't bear to let go of his smart daughter, so he took the initiative to visit her... As long as they had contact, they were still father and daughter. When he was too old to move, his daughter would not leave him alone.
When he saw Tang Mingshan from a distance, Liu Xicai immediately laughed angrily, stepped forward and grabbed him.
"You still dare to trouble Xiaoya, you are so brave."
Tang Mingshan was startled.
He had already learned from his son that Liu Xicai was beside him when he was beaten. In other words, Liu Xicai asked them to help him beat him.
"No, no, I just came to borrow some money and I want to pay it back."
Liu Xicai pushed him hard: "I won't do anything today because I'm afraid of scaring my daughter. Get out."
Tang Mingshan rolled and climbed, ran away without any delay, and quickly disappeared into the alley.
After Liu Xicai appeared, some timid neighbors had quietly retreated, and those watching the excitement retreated far away.
"Xiaoya, why didn't you come and tell me about such a big event like your getting married?"
Chu Yunli's expression was calm: "You and I are just acquaintances, and we have no close friendship. It's not easy to post."
"Xiaoya!" Liu Xicai's tone increased: "I am your father. Although I did not raise you, I prepared a dowry for you and really treat you as my daughter. It really makes me sad that you are like this."
Chu Yunli was unmoved: "If your son is good, he won't..."
"Whether he is good or not, you are still my daughter." Liu Xicai frowned: "With my family's money, it is not difficult at all to raise only two children."
He didn't come here just to quarrel. His daughter had just gotten married, and quarreling at this time would dampen the joy. He sighed, took out a purse and handed it over: "Here are twenty taels of silver. As a father, I
Keep this piece of your heart!"
"I don't want it." Chu Yunli emphasized again: "You are not my father."
Liu Xicai frowned. He thought that his daughter would change his attitude after he spent real money, but the result was still so cold. He was not a good-tempered person. If it weren't for Xiaoya's stubborn temper, the quarrel would be the same as the relationship between father and daughter.
, he was really about to reprimand him. After enduring it again and again, he roughly put the purse in his hand on the table: "I put it here, if you don't want it, just throw it away."
After saying that, he strode away.
Liu Xicai became angry when he thought of his daughter's attitude, and it was all his fault that bastard Tang Mingshan. If he had been kinder to his child, Xiaoya wouldn't be so full of resentment that she wouldn't even want to get close to her biological father.
As soon as he came out of the alley, he saw Tang Mingshan squatting by the roadside. His anger instantly found an outlet, and he stepped forward and pushed the person to the ground: "What are you doing here? Do you still want to cause trouble for Xiaoya?
?”
Tang Mingshan: "..." How dare he?
I stayed here because I wanted to wait for Liu Xicai to leave before asking Xiaoya to borrow money.
"No, no, the injuries on my body are too painful and I can't walk."
Liu Xicai just wanted to vent his anger, and he didn't care what the reason was. He grabbed the person and beat him up. When he stopped, Tang Mingshan was unable to move on the ground, and he himself was panting from exhaustion.
By the time Liu Xicai left, it was already a quarter of an hour later. Tang Mingshan couldn't help but cry. You were crying so sadly that you suddenly noticed someone in front of you. When you raised your head, you saw a pair of cloth shoes worn by a woman.
The wine lady looked at him condescendingly: "Do you want to take revenge?"
Tang Mingshan nodded and shook his head.
He definitely wanted to take revenge, but he didn't dare!
"I can find someone to treat your father and son's injuries, but you have to do one thing for me." Mrs. Jiu bent down and whispered in his ear: "That Lin Jia'an is not a good person. Find a chance and give it to me."
Set their house on fire."
Tang Mingshan: "..."
"I will not commit murder or arson."
His voice was so hoarse that it took Mrs. Jiu a while to understand and sneered: "Then just lie here and wait to die."
Tang Mingshan grabbed her shoes: "I can't walk. Even if I want to light a fire, I am powerless."
"Trash!" Mrs. Jiu lost her patience and turned to leave.
Tang Mingshan narrowed his eyes and begged the people coming out of the alley to carry him to the door of Lin's house.
Chu Yunli heard the knock on the door and saw Tang Mingshan with a lot of injuries on the ground. He said seriously: "You have not recovered from your old injuries, and you were beaten like this again. If you don't take good care of yourself, I'm afraid it will affect your lifespan."
.”
"I have something to tell you." Tang Mingshan said hoarsely, "Just now an old woman asked me to burn down your house."
Chu Yunli knew who it was as soon as he thought about it: "Do you dare to burn it?"
"I don't dare." Tang Mingshan smiled bitterly: "For the sake of me reporting the news to you, please lend me some money!"
Chu Yunli looked at him indifferently and raised her hand to close the door.
Tang Mingshan stopped him: "Go and see your mother, she wants to see you."
This is not just making up. Jiang Huixin started talking nonsense in the past two days. She kept talking about Xiaoya Xiaoya and said she was sorry.
Chu Yunli became interested: "How is she now?"
"It's not very good." Tang Mingshan's voice was hard: "It's just a matter of getting through the day."
In the past few years, he had a bad attitude towards Jiang Huixin and always resented the fact that she gave birth to a daughter for someone else. But he never thought about watching her die. If he still had an inn on hand and had daily income,
I will definitely hire a doctor for her.
Unfortunately, he was too busy taking care of himself and had no choice but to sell Jiang Huixin for money, but failed to sell her. He could not help but despise her for being useless.
It's true that he doesn't want to see her die, and it's true that he dislikes her. His mood is so complicated.
In the bridge cave, when it was getting dark, it was completely invisible inside. Jiang Huixin felt groggy and felt that she probably wouldn't make it through. She wanted to call someone, but after trying for a long time, she only made a small sound. She could vaguely hear it.
The sound of mother's purring not far away.
But there were footsteps approaching, and Jiang Huixin was very nervous. Because her son was seriously injured, Tang Mingshan often wandered outside, and beggars came over more than once to take advantage of her.
Naturally, she didn't want to get close to those dirty and smelly people, so she struggled hard every time. Fortunately, she was lucky, and most people would pass by. One time, Tang Mingshan happened to come back. But she didn't think that if there was a next time, she would still be able to do it.
Can escape.
Hearing the footsteps of more than one person, there seemed to be five or six people, Jiang Huixin swallowed her saliva.
"Fuck, I'm back."
Jiang Huixin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a familiar voice. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt her head hurt even more.
She had not received proper treatment since her head injury. She must have suffered from an underlying disease. Just when she was about to faint, she heard the man say: "Xiao Ya is here."
Xiaoya?
Jiang Huixin instantly cheered up.
Chu Yunli found four people to carry Tang Mingshan here. After sending those people away, she walked to the bridge hole by the faint light of the sky.
"mother?"
When Jiang Huixin heard her call, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
"Xiaoya, you are here."
She spoke in a very low voice, and Chu Yunli tried very hard to catch the general idea, and said, "I've hired a doctor for you."
Jiang Huixin became more and more moved. She knew that she didn't have much time left. Even if there were doctors and good medicine, it would be just a matter of time. She held her daughter's hand and said, "Leave me alone, save your brother."
Chu Yunli shook his head: "You are my mother. So I will save you."
As for Tang Qinghe, a cold-blooded person who doesn't care about Xiaoya's life or death, it's okay if she doesn't step on her, so how can she possibly save people?
Jiang Huixin was particularly disappointed when she heard her daughter's answer: "I beg you..."
"There's no point begging me." Chu Yunli said with a calm expression, "You just have to be patient for a while, and I'll call the doctor later."
Tang Mingshan nestled at the door, his face full of flattery: "Can you help me by the way..."
Chu Yunli stepped up and left.
She really brought the doctor here. At this moment, the sky was completely invisible. She lit the candle. The doctor squatted next to Jiang Huixin and felt her pulse. After a while, he shook his head: "Even if someone takes care of her carefully, it will only take three or two days."
The doctor thought that Chu Yunli was kind-hearted to help the beggar, and then went to check Tang Qinghe's pulse. As soon as he touched his wrist, the doctor frowned: "It's so hot, it will kill people." Then he saw that Tang Qinghe's body was unnatural.
It was bent, and several bones were obviously broken but no proper treatment was given. I couldn't help but sigh: "It's hopeless."
Tang Qinghe: "..."
He's not dead yet!
In fact, he had been in a coma for most of the day, and now he suddenly woke up.
"Doctor, help!"
He spoke clearly and spoke louder than Jiang Huixin.
"So energetic?" The doctor was surprised and carefully touched his bones: "If you can withstand the pain of bone setting and take good medicine, you should be able to..."
Tang Qinghe's eyes lit up: "Can it be cured?"
Doctor: "I'm not a god. I can only give you two more months to live."
Hearing this, Tang Qinghe was confused.
Even if he guessed that he was about to die soon, when it came to it, he still wanted to live, and immediately asked unwillingly: "Is there no other way?"
The doctor had a serious look on his face: "You can hire another skilled doctor."
Tang Qinghe: "..."
This is more desperate than having two months to live.
They were penniless, and the doctor was not the one who took advantage of them, so why should they save him?
The doctor had turned back to look at Chu Yunli: "Girl, can you help me?"
Chu Yunli stretched out her hand and Jiang Huixin said: "Save her. Don't worry about the rest."
Hearing this, the Tang family father and son were anxious, how could they ignore it?
Tang Mingshan plucked up the courage and said: "Xiaoya, after all, we have been living together for many years. I was sorry for you in the past years, but you can't just ignore me!"
Under the candlelight, Chu Yunli said coldly: "If you talk more, I will strangle you to death."
Tang Mingshan: "..."
kill?
Xiaoya probably wouldn't dare. But this girl is very cruel. He is really weak now and can't stand it.
Chu Yunli gave the doctor some money to treat Jiang Huixin, and then left first.
In the bridge hole, Mother Jiang remained motionless as if she was asleep. The three members of the Tang family could not move. Only the doctor was busy at the medicine box. When he saw someone leaving, Tang Qinghe cried and said: "Mom, I don't want to die! Please help me."
I."
Jiang Huixin did not answer.
Taking the initiative to give up the chance to live and asking for it from her son were completely different emotions for her.
Tang Qinghe begged: "Mom, please stop treating me. Let the doctor diagnose and treat me."
Jiang Huixin finally turned her head. She looked at the son in front of her and felt very strange. In the past years, she didn't want to be nice to Xiaoya. Sometimes when she saw Tang Mingshan beating Xiaoya, she felt very happy.
But now, her daughter has disappeared without a trace regardless of her life or death. Her son actually wants her to give up the chance of survival. Is this the child she loves with her life?
Only Xiaoya was willing to help her and save her. Thinking of this, Jiang Huixin couldn't help feeling sad and burst into tears.
She was already at the end of her strength, and with this howl, she exhausted her last strength, and soon she was losing more air than taking in.
The doctor was startled and hurriedly rushed over to help her calm down: "People who are seriously ill are most taboo about great joy and sorrow. Breathe slowly and don't get excited."
Jiang Huixin held the doctor's hand, her eyes bright: "Doctor, thank her for me, tell her... say... I'm sorry..."
After her words fell, her hands also dropped, and the light in her eyes gradually dissipated.
The doctor had a serious look on his face, picked up the furoshiki on the side and covered her face. He felt a little guilty for not calming the patient down, so she died in excitement. The middle-aged man at the door said:
"Since she is dead, use the money to prepare medicine for us to drink."
The two of them were very ill. The doctor had just seen it. If they didn't take medicine, they would just have to endure the day. He sighed: "This money was given by the girl. If she is willing to spend it on you, you have to ask in advance."
You have to pass her. However, I can pay for a pair of medicines for you out of my own pocket."
The doctor can't just ignore the patient's death and give him a medicine, so he won't feel guilty when he looks back.
After the doctor left, the father and son were dumbfounded when they looked at the medicine. They didn't even have a medicine jar, and there was no firewood around. How could they boil it?
The two of them simply opened the medicine packet and chewed it raw to fill their stomachs.
When Chu Yunli heard that Jiang Huixin was absent, she went to help collect the body. After hearing the doctor's words of thanks and apology from Jiang Huixin, she felt nothing. After all, Xiaoya was gone.
Before Xiaoya's death, Jiang Huixin never regretted what she had done.
It is worth mentioning that when she left, the father and son still wanted to fight, but they could not move and could only watch her walk away.
Tang Mingshan was unwilling to just wait for death. On this day, while he was in a daze, he suddenly heard two beggars chatting there, saying that after being beaten, they could go to the Yamen to complain. During the complaint, a doctor hired by the Yamen was there to treat the injury.
Not to file a complaint, but just to treat his injuries, he should go to the Yamen.
So he tried his best to climb to the street and shouted at the people coming and going. Some people were really upset and asked a few people to help carry him outside the Yamen.
To be honest, Tang Mingshan would really not want to come if he was not desperate.
Now he and Xiaoya have completely fallen out. Xiaoya has never been merciful to him, and they are really going to court. He probably couldn't hide the fact that he found gangsters to bully Xiaoya in the first place.
Even if Xiaoya didn't come forward, Liu Xicai would definitely tell the story in order to save himself.
Really, going to the Yamen in Tang Mingshan is the same as committing suicide.
But he was in too much pain, and he couldn't bear to die... He was cured by the doctor from the Yamen, and if he was lucky enough not to die, he would have saved a small life.
When the Lord saw the injured person like this and learned that there was someone under his nose who was so bold as to beat the person to such a degree, he became furious. He wanted to ask a few more questions, so he immediately arrested the culprit and asked him to question him.
For a long time, the sufferer did not open his mouth.
Helpless, the adults had no choice but to move the man to an empty room and let the doctor treat his injuries first.
Tang Mingshan refused to speak, because he still wanted to struggle. Unexpectedly, the adults were willing to take him in, so wouldn't he be able to sneak away after the injury was cured?
He regretted not bringing his son with him, but at the moment he had too much time to take care of himself and couldn't care about others.
Liu Xicai learned that Tang Mingshan had gone to the Yamen that day, and he only regretted that he had acted too lightly, leaving behind such trouble. He had clearly threatened him before, and Tang Mingshan was obviously scared, so why did he still go and report it to the official?
If the Lord really interrogated him, he would not be able to get away with it, and would also implicate his brothers... And in order to escape guilt, those people did not know what they would do, even if they killed him and silenced him, he would not be surprised.
From that day on, Liu Xicai waited for the businessman to come to his door. He waited and waited for no one. When he asked again, he learned that Tang Mingshan had not spoken.
But he didn't let go. He always felt like there was a knife hanging over his head and he didn't know when it would fall.
Mrs. Qin soon discovered that the person next to her was absent-minded. She asked around and around, but the man refused to tell her. She always felt that this time was a big deal, so she secretly bought some good wine and food to go to the man's brother, and then
Then I learned the truth.
On the way back, she thought a lot. When she got home, she got straight to the point: "Let's talk. It's hard for you to escape unscathed this time. While you're still free, hurry up and plan for the future. Sell all the houses and shops at home."
Liu Xicai smiled: "Then what? Let you remarry and raise a wild man?"
