"There are only three taels of silver left in the family. For the price that Doctor Lu used to treat your injuries, these three taels are not enough. Even if Doctor Lu raises his hand this time and only accepts three taels, then our family is still as poor as a wash, let alone Xiaofeng. The tuition fee for next year is gone, even this winter I don’t know how to spend it."
The old lady Bai became more and more angry as she spoke, her voice raised a few degrees: "Dazhu, you said, what should you do if you are a mother?"
The son in front of her turned out to be such a useless person. She didn't feel it at all before, and she didn't realize it until today.
The Bai family used to have a better life because of Zhao Lan's presence. Since Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi left, this family has not had a good day.
Only one day after the separation of the family, he broke his hand again, the food for the winter was soaked, and the only remaining family property had to be taken out to heal his injuries, but he didn't mean the slightest guilt, on the contrary, he looked ashamed. Of course, he looked fiercely at her.
No matter how Bai Dazhu can manage the future, he only wants to heal these hands now, but he doesn't want to become disabled. For the future, I will talk about it later, as long as people live, are they afraid that there is no way to survive
"What should I do? Of course it is to find a doctor for me first, and put everything aside. It is important to treat me first. If I am disabled, you can have a good life? If the money is gone, just make more money. If my hand is gone, just wait to starve to death!"
It's easy to say, if the money is gone, you can make more money. In his life, Bai Dazhu, has he ever made a copper plate
The old lady didn't want to say more, it was useless to say more. This hand is always going to be cured. After all, it is her own son, Xiaofeng's father, and her support for the elderly. She has no more sons to replace.
She sighed, turned around and went into the room. After a while, she came out, holding three taels of silver in her hand, one or two of which were still pieces of silver together. She stuffed the three taels of silver into Liu's hands. "You go to Doctor Lu, and say a few more words to him, the folks in the village, let him count less money, that's all for our family, he can't die for a couple of dollars!"
Liu received the silver, and his heart was both happy and sad. What was happy was that her husband was saved, but what he was worried about was what he could do in the future.
Erzhu went back to the house and drank the remaining fish soup.
Bai Zhuzhu sat under the window, looking at the cloudy sky outside, her eyes full of gloom.
Zhang placed the bowl of fine white fish in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"
White Pearl returned to her senses and sighed: "I didn't think about anything." She took the chopsticks her mother handed, and put a piece of fish into her mouth. The delicious taste immediately washed away a lot of melancholy, "Mother, this fish is so real. fresh."
Seeing his daughter's fragrance, Zhang also smiled: "Eat slowly, there's more."
The wealthy on the side swallowed the fish soup in his mouth, and said with a contented expression: "Father, mother, if we had fish every day, it would be great!"
Zhang laughed and scolded: "You are so gluttonous. It's pretty beautiful. The river at the entrance of our village is deep and anxious. There are a lot of fish in it, but not everyone can catch it. Today, your father is lucky. I picked up a few for nothing."
Bai Erzhu smiled and answered, "I used to hear in our village that some people picked up fish. I didn't believe it before. Why they could pick up fish but I couldn't? Now I finally understand."
Zhang smiled and asked, "What do you understand?"
Bai Erzhu chuckled, "As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and you can get up early enough to catch up with this trip. If I go later today, wouldn't this fish belong to someone else's?"
