Chapter 56: Debt Repayment [Pink 40+]
(There are still 2 days until the pink of the 7th doubles, everyone still has it, you can smash it quickly.) Even how industrious it is, even this has to be reminded~~)
In the worried and uneasy eyes of Hou Xianglin and Mrs. Hou, I only heard Sister Mu smile crisply, "Thanks to the help of all the villagers and elders, the money that my family owes the Hou family is now enough." Count them, and there are many. Therefore, I came here today, one is to repay the debt, and the other is to ask the two masters and all the villagers to be a witness in front of the Bodhisattva, and donate all the money to Master Fuyuan of Nantai Temple to build the bridge at the foot of Wutong Mountain. In the future, it will also add convenience to the villagers to walk back and forth. β
Rumble! There was silence in the crowd, and then thunderous applause.
Most of the people who are willing to stand up and watch the excitement are ordinary people, and everyone has naturally heard how difficult it is to build that bridge. And what countless rich officials are unwilling to do, let a little girl from a poor family do it, how great is this?
Master Fuyuan was already so excited that he burst into tears, and the faces of the Hou couple were blue and red, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves.
But the sister of the Mu family still had to stand in front of everyone, clearly and clearly, and clearly explain how she received a few taels of articles from others, and then in front of so many people, she counted the copper coins that were put together by countless people, either greasy or muddy, one by one, and packed a big box.
Five hundred taels of silver, the Hou couple have seen a lot, but they have never seen such five hundred taels made up by the Zhang family's Wuwen and the Li family's Qiwen. Watching the money accumulate and rise in the box little by little, the Hou couple only felt that they were using a blunt knife to cut their faces layer by layer.
It's easy to make up five hundred taels. But he couldn't leave yet, and Nianfu took out a big burden. He said with a smile, "This was sent by the housekeeper when he went to my house last time." He was in a hurry and didn't bother to take it, and now he has returned it all. Please two points, can there be omissions? β
How did this make the Hou couple count?
That time, Mrs. Hou asked Hou Gui to take Hou Fangyu to the door to deliberately provoke trouble, if she said it to this girl in public, would their family still be shameless?
didn't dare to say anything at all, the husband and wife couldn't use their usual sharp teeth anymore, so they could only nod blindly. After receiving the things, I quickly took my leave.
But before leaving. The girl still had to give them a big gift in front of everyone, "Although it was the brother of the Hou family who didn't say hello that day, he borrowed such a large amount of money from me privately." But these five hundred taels of silver will relieve my family of siege no matter what, otherwise I will be humiliated in the court. So in any case, I have to thank you both. β
Is this a compliment or a disservice to them? Until they came out of Fang Guang Temple with the box of money and things, the Hou family and his wife only felt that their faces were burning hot.
And inside the courtyard wall, you can still hear the joyful cheers of the people inside as they continue to count their money.
Mrs. Chen donated twenty taels. A total of seventy-five taels! β
"Mrs. Huang donated fifty taels, a total of one hundred and twenty-five taels!"
β¦β¦
"Master Juehui said that everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, so today they will donate all the incense money in our temple. Build a good bridge for everyone! β
"Good!" Thunderous applause rang out again.
Then more people poured into the monastery, talking as they went.
"It's such a good thing, why don't you and I go and get together. This time, thanks to Sister Mu's kind funding. It seems that the bridge will be repaired this time. β
"Hmmm! Ask again if you can help. When the time comes, we will also carry a brick and carry the soil. It is also a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good deeds to allow everyone to use the new bridge earlier. β
"Yes. I can't live up to Sister Mu's kindness. This sister is so filial, strong and kind-hearted, and she has made such a big merit now, I am afraid that she will have great blessings in the future. β
"Isn't it? But the Hou family will not be blessed, and they deserve to have no vision! Don't let such a good sister go, isn't it stupid? β
"In fact, the old man and the young master of the Hou family are not stupid, the stupid pair is the father and mother, and the bad thing is on their heads!"
β¦β¦
waited for people to pass by, and the Hou family and his wife dared to get into the car in a secret way and ordered someone to leave quickly. When you get in the car, you don't look at me, and I don't look at you, it's not that you are angry with each other, but you really feel that you have no face to see people.
When they returned home and closed the door, the couple had the same ambition to reach Mrs. Hou's yard, regardless of the fact that their son was serving his father to take medicine, and threw the money and things into the ground, Mrs. Hou immediately cried.
"That girl doesn't want us to be human beings! Hit us in the face in public like this, why is she so ruthless? β
Hou Xianglin also hated it, "Fortunately, I didn't let her enter the door." Look, what is she doing here? "Why did you return this big box of loose change?
Looking at those things, Hou Fangyu guessed what was going on without asking. Huo Di stood up and said, "You scolded people harshly, but what did they do?" Didn't you return your money and things in good order? Do you have to be told what you owe you money and things, and it is good to listen to your gossip and be looked down upon by you? You don't feel good about being a person now, but when you made a fuss at your grandfather's birthday banquet that day, did you ever think about how people should behave? β
The Hou couple were all stunned by what they scolded their son, and Mrs. Hou even forgot to cry, as if she didn't know this son, and looked at him blankly.
"Yu'er, why are you ......?"
"I don't want to hear you anymore! I've grown up, it's black or white, right or wrong, I have my own eyes, I can see clearly! Hou Fangyu took the medicine bowl and sat down again, sad and angry, "Grandpa is still recuperating, can't you let him be quiet for a while, and take the bowl of medicine alive?" Why do you want to get to him? β
Hou Xianglin, who originally had a black face and wanted to teach this unfilial son a lesson, couldn't lift the slap no matter what.
Looking at the sick father, and then looking at the corners of his son's red eyes that were glowing with water, the anger in his stomach was like a balloon that had been punctured.
Even if you have suffered a great grievance, what are you doing in front of an old man's hospital bed? Is Cheng trying to force his own father to death? Hou Xianglin was embarrassed to take his wife and leave, but after an hour, he could hear someone report, "Sister Mu has come to the door." β
The family reported that he was so weak that he didn't dare to look up at his master's face.
Is that girl still going to chase after them and give them a bad time? Even if it was their fault at first, it was too much to slap people in the face like this, right?
Hou Xianglin was furious, "Let her in!" I'm going to see what else she wants. β
"I'll go too!" As a mother, Mrs. Hou has always doted on her son, and now her son obviously values another woman more than her, and she has more hatred for the enemy than Hou Xianglin.
However, when the Hou couple angrily greeted the door, they saw the Mu family's sister helping a bald old gentleman in a cloth coat to come in slowly. The two of them were still whispering something, and the voice was so soft that others couldn't hear it clearly.
Who is this?
The Hou family and his wife stared at each other with big eyes, and no one recognized them. Seeing that the two of them ignored them, they just walked in by themselves, the couple was unhappy, and they wanted to get angry, but Hou Xianglin raised his eyelids and saw the middle-aged man in his thirties behind.
He was so shocked that his face suddenly changed, and his tongue began to knot, "Sun ...... Doctor, why are you here in person? β
This is the best and most famous doctor in Xuancheng, I heard that his grandfather also worked as a royal doctor in the former palace. Normally, if they want to invite this Dr. Sun to see a doctor, they have to make an appointment ten days and half a month in advance, but today, why did he come to the door in person? Still walking behind the most?
Hou Xianglin and Mrs. Hou immediately greeted him and wanted to invite him to the front, but Dr. Sun smiled, "Grandfather is in front, we can't tolerate the presumptuousness of our juniors." β
Miscellaneous...... What the? The eyes of the Hou family and his wife almost fell to the ground, and the inconspicuous bald old man in front of them turned out to be the famous old doctor Sun?
At this time, Dr. Sun smiled when he saw their reaction, "What? Not welcome? β
"How so? How dare you! This...... Why doesn't this make people say it in advance? Let's come out and greet us? β
The Hou family and his wife were so excited that they couldn't even speak, and they couldn't wait to burn incense and bathe and roll out the red carpet to greet him. This is the legendary imperial doctor, the one who treats the emperor! Why did you come to his house today?
Doctor Sun smiled indifferently, "Originally, my grandfather was very old, and he no longer hung the pot to help the world, but it was the sister of the Mu family who begged her grandfather to come to see your old man." β
She entrusts someone? Who can she hold?
Of course, Dr. Sun didn't tell them the details, but just instructed, "Hurry up and go to the old man's room to prepare, if you light incense or something, remove it quickly." Let the people go down too, my grandfather didn't like people to be noisy when he was sick. β
Yes, yes, yes! Where did the Hou couple not take care of settling accounts with Nianfu? ran without touching the ground, and the two of them were like headless flies, and they didn't know what to do.
When he arrived in Old Man Hou's room, Hou Fangyu was the calmest, "Just here I am, you two go and prepare a gift for the consultation." β
"My son is right." Hou Xianglin hurriedly pushed Mrs. Hou out, "You hurry up and go to the warehouse to pick up a few good things to come out, don't feel sorry for the silver." Seeing that Mrs. Hou was puzzled, he was so anxious that he bit his ear and explained, "Although they are from the previous dynasty, they are also serious five-grade officials, can they come to our house, this will be a big faΓ§ade in the future, do you understand?" β
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Hou understood. Yao Tongzhi, who wanted to climb relatives in his family, only entered the door from the sixth grade, and these fifth-grade officials entered the door, and the older they were, the more valuable the imperial doctor, so they naturally had to stutter vigorously.
She was busy over there, and Doctor Sun had already helped Nianfu and slowly entered the door of Old Lady Hou.
Seeing Sister Nianfu again, Hou Fangyu didn't know how to describe his mood, he only felt sour and sweet, bitter and astringent, like taking a bite of an unripe green peach, which was difficult to swallow, but reluctant to spit it out. (To be continued......)
