Chapter 124 100 Years of Ginseng
"Grandpa!" When he got up early the next morning, Old Man Hua instructed Hua Jiu to help repair Hua Jiu's room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
So Hua Jiu cleaned up and went to help Hua Jiu with the work, when the two of them were getting some hay and mud to mend. I saw an ox cart parked outside, and Hua Zhu got out of the cart and entered the door crying.
"What's the fuss in the early morning? Well, it's a chisel girl! Why are you back at this time?" Old man Wang and Mrs. Hua had just gotten up for breakfast, when they heard such a commotion outside, and came out to scold. Unexpectedly, I saw that Hua Zhu, who was supposed to take care of Hua Yu and Hua Gang in the county, actually came back alone.
"Grandpa!" Hua saw Old Man Hua and Mrs. Hua. In the courtyard where he staggered and fell to his knees, "Doctor, the doctor said that my father is going to die." You must save my father!"
When Old Man Hua and Mrs. Hua heard Hua Zhu say this, they only felt that their heads were buzzing, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it was dark in front of them.
"You dead girl, what nonsense! Look at your grandma. Seeing Old Man Hua and Mrs. Hua like this, Hua Jue and Hua Jiu and his wife hurried over to help them, and then scolded Hua Zhu.
"You can tell me clearly, what's going on? Your father is not in the county medical center. Why don't you say it's going to work now!" Hua Jiu frowned and looked at Hua Zhu.
Hua Zhu used to be calm and calculating, but he was only a half-old child, and he just heard the doctor in the city say that her father was so serious, and he was already panicking at this time. Where can I take care of so much, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, I poured out all the things that the doctor told her just now.
"Just now, the doctor said that my father is dying, let me come back and buy a hundred years of ginseng with silver to continue my life. Hua Zhu finally said.
To say that this Hua Yu probably didn't think that when he first played the Huajin board, he would also have the day when he was hit by the board. When he was fighting, those officials did not relent, and his injuries were naturally very serious. And unlike Hua Jin, he has a soul from another world to come to this body and give this body vitality. Hua Yu's age is not too big, only in his early thirties. But he usually does less farm work and is pampered. The foundation is not good, after being beaten this time. I kept having a fever, and then my whole body collapsed.
The doctor treated him for a few days, and then found that Hua Yu's illness had exploded and was very serious. On the contrary, Huagang is young and has begun to get better.
"Oh, my life is miserable!" When Mrs. Hua came to her senses, she sat on the ground and cried loudly.
The Jiang family, who had been hiding in his house and didn't go out much, also walked out. Now that her life and future are all involved in Hua Yu alone, how can she not worry? Jiang Shi slowly went out while holding her waist and holding her stomach with one hand, looking at Hua Zhu.
Jiang and Hua Zhu had only had a one-sided relationship before, and it was only a few days ago that Hua Zhu came to the house to ask for silver, and the two of them had met each other. This is the second time they have met, and the Jiang family knew before that Hua Yu still has a daughter. Now seeing Hua Zhu kneeling on the ground and crying all the time, she was also a little flustered.
"So the doctor said that a hundred years of ginseng can save him?" Old Man Hua is the pillar of the family, and at this time only he remembered to ask this question.
When Hua Zhu heard his grandfather ask, he immediately nodded anxiously, "Yes, grandpa." The doctor said that only a hundred years of ginseng could save him. ”
Old Man Huang had a gloomy face, "Have you ever asked, how much does that hundred-year-old ginseng cost?"
Hua Zhu choked for a long time before replying, "The doctor said he wanted five hundred taels of silver." ”
"What?" Li Mai said in surprise when he heard this number.
Five hundred taels of silver may not be much to those who are wealthy. But for these people in Lijia Village, it is an astronomical amount. The entire Hua family, when they were at their richest, did not exceed thirty taels of silver. That is, yesterday, because the house was sold, there were more than eighty taels of silver.
In Lijia Village, a large family like the Hua family can only chew for less than two taels of silver a year. Even if the entire Lijia Village is making soap now, it is just a richer life, but there is absolutely no family that can come up with so much silver?
"Wow, my poor son!" Mrs. Hua heard that she was asking for five hundred taels of silver, so she continued to sit on the ground and cry loudly.
"Shut up!" Old man Hua's gloomy face scolded the old woman fiercely.
"Hua Zhu, what the doctor means is that you have to take out five hundred taels of silver to buy a hundred years of ginseng to save your father's life, right?" Hua Jiu gasped and stared at Hua Zhu viciously.
Hua Zhu has always been most afraid of this fourth uncle, but at this time, he can't care about anything else, and nodded while trembling, "The doctor said, this hundred-year life is very rare, if it weren't for the fact that someone happened to dig up a hundred-year-old ginseng now, even if there was silver, it wouldn't work." He also told me to raise money as soon as possible, and that ginseng would not wait for anyone. ”
"Daddy, this is five hundred taels!" Hua Ling's eyes widened, and she looked at Old Man Hua and Mrs. Hua with dull eyes.
As a big family, all the assets, even if you add the eighty-three taels from the sale of the house, add them up, and they are only one hundred taels of silver. Where else can I get the money?
Hua Zhu listened to his second uncle say such words, looked at Li Juhua who had been standing there silently for help, "Mother." ”
Li Juhua, who had a withered face, had been a walking corpse for a long time, and finally had a trace of emotion when she heard that Hua Yu was dying. Even if she was disappointed in him, even desperate, but after all, it was her husband who had lived with him for so long, and it was impossible for her not to react at all when she knew that he was going to die.
But in this case, even if the whole family is sold. It's also not enough to get together the silver, how can Hua Zhu not know?
swept around, and then saw the Jiang family, Hua Zhu went over and pulled her, "Don't you have to marry my father? My father is dying now, do you have money? Do you have silver?"
Seeing her rushing towards him, Jiang hurriedly hid to the side and did not answer.
Hua Qian fell into despair, she knew deep that although her father was not reliable. But if they are in this room, without his father, life will be very miserable. They will not live better like Huajin, who are separated from each other. Hua Zhu thought of this. Suddenly, my eyes lit up.
"To Hua Jin, and Hua Jin. Go to her, she will be rich" Hua Zhu seemed to have found life, looking at Old Man Hua and Mrs. Hua hopefully.
Old man Hua didn't know that at this time, if he wanted to go to Hua Yu, the only hope was with the Hua Jin sisters and brothers. But he also remembered that Hua Jiu had said before that Hua Jin's sister and brother were also sick now. Moreover, he knew that so many times, he asked for money from the Hua Jin sisters and brothers, but he never succeeded. (To be continued.) )
