Chapter 161: Brother Bitter (Second Watch)

After picking it up, Qianrou handed over another bowl of hot rice porridge, Chi Mo drank two sips indiscriminately, his stomach warmed, and his pale face regained some blood.

"Tell me, whose life do you want me to save?"

Su Xue sat quietly, staring at Chi Mo with a faint gaze.

The tone is lukewarm. But I've been muttering in my heart, could it be that Chi Mo was abused? Otherwise, how can you shout the word "help"?

Chi Mo breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down again, and said: "Everyone in the house says that the third young lady knows the art of disambiguation, ask the third young lady to be merciful, and save the little hard-working brother!" ”

Su Xue was stunned for a moment, then slowly regained her composure, turned her head and glanced at Qianrou, who immediately understood, and stepped forward to ask: "Everyone in the house knows that you were an unaccompanied orphan when you were bought, where can there be any brother?" ”

After that, he straightened up again, and said: "Chi Mo, the third lady is kind and wants to help you, you should be gracious, but don't talk nonsense." ”

Chi Mo kowtowed with his hands on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Third Miss, the little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense...... In fact, the little one is not unaccompanied, he has a brother named Ah Shun. Just because there was no shortage of maids in the Jiang Mansion at that time, Ya Pozi came up with this trick from the side, so that the little one could talk about his life experience pitifully, so that the rich master would be soft-hearted and relieved......"

Hearing this, Qianrou couldn't help but say: "You are so bold, aren't you afraid that the eldest lady will know that you are lying and kick you out?" ”

The most taboo thing about choosing maids in the house is those who are treacherous and slippery, and even dare to fabricate their life history, if they are found out, it is not just as simple as being kicked out. Maybe he'll get a good fight.

Furthermore. He was cast out for this reason. It's like someone has a stain on his forehead, and it will be difficult to find a place to go elsewhere in the future.

After all, big families don't want this kind of insincere subordinate, even if it's just a rough maid.

Of course, Chi Mo knew the powerful relationship in this, and she was also forced to a desperate place before she went out to tell the third lady, listening to Qianrou's roar, she kowtowed to Su Xue again and again, begging Su Xue for mercy.

There was no anger on Su Xue's face. I just feel that Chi Mo is really pitiful, in order to buy himself into the house to be a maid, he can't even recognize his own brother.

Thinking about it, he waved his hand to stop Qianrou, and said to Chimo: "You finish talking first." ”

Seeing that Su Xue was not angry because of this, Chi Mo felt more confident in his heart, wiped his tears with his cuffs, and continued: "My brother is the same as the little one, and he has been sold to big families since he was a child. The Zhao family in the west of the city is a big rice family, and they need young and strong, so my brother goes to do hard work for others. Who would have thought that Young Master Zhao was really stingy. My brother worked day and night, and it was a problem to get that little money to even have a full stomach...... Not to mention such a cold day. I also have to wear thin clothes to carry rice and grain at the ferry......"

As he spoke, Chi Mo couldn't help but whimper, but immediately wiped away his tears, and continued: "But my brother never complained, he said that this qiē is temporary, he can't do a lifetime of hard work, my brother read for two years when he was a child, and he knows a few words, he believes that there will always be a day when he can go to the Zhao family's house to be a buddy." ”

Su Xue gently grinded her fingertips, but she was still self-motivated.

But the reality is cruel and bleak.

Chi Mo paused, and continued with tears in his eyes: "Just a while ago, my brother had a cold, and he didn't get better all the time. Unexpectedly, the steward of the Zhao family was hard-hearted, and instead of lightening his brother's work, he urged him to be beaten. My brother also thought that he was just suffering from a cold, which was not a big problem, so he insisted on working hard, but he didn't expect to be more and more strict, first he coughed every night and couldn't sleep, so that now he began to cough up blood, and the whole person burned dizzy, and began to talk nonsense......"

Chi Mo said sadly, and Qianrou and Miaomeng also listened anxiously. Su Xue just narrowed her eyes and took a sip of tea.

In fact, you only need to go to the pharmacy in time to grab some cinnamon sticks and come back to boil soup and drink, and it will be effective in less than two days.

This is not a terrible thing, but it is just a cold.

But judging from Chi Mo's description later, this is no longer just a matter that can be solved by one or two bowls of cinnamon soup.

The wind is the beginning of all diseases, and the evil is even deep, spreading throughout the meridians, and it becomes typhoid fever. Judging from what Chi Mo said, Chi Mo's brother was weak due to the cold, and the evil was not easy to solve, and it accumulated into phlegm.

In short, it was a cold that did not seek medical attention, and dragged it to work, and the physical foundation was not very good, so it became a hot and asthma in the lungs.

If it is just a symptom of lung fever, it is simple, but Chi Mo said that he began to cough up blood and phlegm, which is a symptom of quite strict.

But she can't go out in the mansion now, and Chi Mo doesn't dare to expose the fact that she has a brother......

It's really tricky.

Seeing that Su Xue was silent, Chi Mo couldn't help but sobbed again, and begged Su Xue to save her brother.

Su Xue thought quietly for a while and asked, "What about your brother now?" Won't you still be working in the Zhao family? ”

coughed up blood and tossed, it was like death.

Fortunately, Chi Mo shook his head and said, "The steward of the Zhao family saw that his brother was seriously ill and was afraid of causing his life, so he sent his brother three taels of silver and drove him out of the Zhao family......"

Miao Meng couldn't listen to it anymore, covering her mouth and her eyes turned red.

"When the little one heard this, he was anxious, but he didn't dare to go out of the house rashly, so he had to secretly take the money and ask someone to take care of it, and settle his brother in a small pharmacy, but the doctor of the pharmacy said that his brother's illness had dragged on for too long, and there was no way to save it, so it was better to save some money for the aftermath of the ......."

When Chi Mo said this, he couldn't hold back any longer, lowered his head and cried.

Su Xue frowned slightly and looked at Chi Mo, in which era the toiling people are the most pitiful, they can't afford to get sick or die.

Chi Mo cried sadly, so Qianrou went to get a towel to wipe her face.

Miao Meng on the side couldn't hear these things the most, and now he is crying into tears. Qianrou also handed her a towel to wipe her tears.

Su Xue's fingers curled slightly, gently tapping on the armrest of the wooden chair, staring at one place, thinking quietly.

When Chi Mo had cried and calmed down, Su Xue whispered: "The Zhao family is in the west of the city, and the Zhang family medical hall is also in the west of the city...... Why don't you settle your brother in Zhang's Medical Center first? ”

Chi Moben had already stopped crying, and when she heard that Su Xueti said that she was taking her brother to Zhang's Medical Center, she suddenly became excited, shook her head and said: "Third Miss, that Doctor Zhang has died, how can the younger one ...... his brother?"

Su Xue interrupted her with a wave of her hand and closed her eyes.

"Today's Zhang's Medical Center is no longer what it used to be, and Dr. Zhang who is sitting in the museum is no longer the same as before. Besides, Xuemei's death can't be blamed entirely on the ...... of Zhang's Medical Hall."

Speaking of this, Su Xue's tone was a little heavy.

Seeing Chi Mo's doubts, Su Xue took a breath and said, "In this way, you go and send your brother to Zhang's Medical Center first, and if the money is not enough, go to Qianrou to get it." Because it is inconvenient for you to expose your relationship with your brother, I will send someone to take care of the medical center. As long as Dr. Zhang is willing to take over, your brother's life will be saved. ”

When Chi Mo heard the last sentence, not to mention how excited he was, his eyes flashed with hope, and he kowtowed to Su Xue several times.

The next day, Chi Mo handed over the silver and went out to ask someone to send his brother Ah Shun to Zhang's Hospital.

Zhang Xiang took a look at Ah Shun's condition, and without saying a word, he sent him to the second floor to lie down.

When the medical staff settled Ah Shun and folded it down to collect the prepaid consultation fee, they found that the person who sent the patient had long since disappeared.

The guy was immediately annoyed, and went back to tell the doctor Zhang Xiang about the situation here.

At that time, Zhang Xiang was busy checking the patient's pulse, and he had no time to pay attention to this matter, so he only asked the guy to deal with it at his discretion.

The guy was sullen and simply roared to go up and carry Ah Shun out of the hospital intact.

It was also carried out and placed on the street, surrounded by a large group of spectators, Zhang Xiang realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly threw down the matter at hand.

He pushed aside the onlookers-by, saw Ah Shun lying on the ground, and immediately became angry, called the guy to scold, and carried Ah Shun back.

"Saving people is like fighting fire, you are also a guy in the hospital, how can you treat patients like this?" Zhang Xiang stared at this inferior guy who had not gone, and his heart was panicked.

But the guy was reasonable, pointed at Ah Shun and said, "He doesn't have any money on him, and the person who sent him here doesn't know where to go, is it possible that we want us to treat him for nothing?" ”

Zhang Xiang raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "How can human life be measured by money? It's ridiculous! ”

He angrily shook his wide sleeves and walked inside, took two steps, stopped again, turned back vigorously and pointed at the guy and said angrily: "You went to Xiaoliang to get this month's monthly money, starting tomorrow, you don't have to come to the hospital to do chores again!" ”

The guy froze in place, his face turned pale.

What kind of business is this?

But Zhang Xiang had already made up his mind, and followed Ah Shun into the hospital without looking back.

It took a long time for the guy to come back to his senses, and he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

And now Zhang's Medical Center is really busy with people coming in and out, even if the guy scolds his mother, Zhang Xiang doesn't have time to listen carefully.

After Ah Shun was carried inside, the crowd at the entrance of Zhang's Medical Hall gradually dispersed.

There was a small sedan chair parked at the mouth of the alley diagonally opposite, Su Xue lifted the sedan curtain and observed this side from a distance, and couldn't help but smile softly.

This time, she finally didn't believe the wrong person.

"Miss, the little one is going to send the silver two over, so it's better to explain it earlier?" Qianrou held a bag of silver dollars wrapped in red silk cloth in her hand, and prepared to go over and hand it over to Dr. Zhang.

Su Xue also planned to do this at first, but suddenly, she changed her mind again.

"I'll go with you." As soon as she finished speaking, the person had already lifted the sedan curtain and walked out.

Qianrou was shocked in her heart, and she couldn't even say anything, but Su Xue had already put on her hat and walked towards Zhang's Medical Hall. (To be continued......)
