Chapter 8 The village chief asks for medical expenses
Two men with their backs on their backs stopped the people in the infirmary to prevent them from getting in the way.
The two women rudely carried the sleeping Lin to the gate of the front yard, Gu Qijiao walked in front of them, the little girl knelt in front of Gu Qiaunt to block the three of them, kept kowtowing, begging them not to take away their mother, her forehead was broken, and a little blood beaded appeared, which did not arouse Gu Qi's pity at all, but was ruthlessly kicked away by Gu Qijiao, and in the blink of an eye, the little girl fell to the ground.
"Die, stinky girl, if you stop it again, the old lady will sell you." As she spoke, Aunt Gu Qi continued to beckon her daughters-in-law to carry people and continue to walk forward.
"Aunt Seven, your family is really lawless, is this trying to kill people?" Gu Jinxiu hurriedly helped the little girl up, glanced at Lin's situation, and saw that her face was pale, and the gauze on her forehead had been stained with blood, which was bleeding from the wound, and looked at the little girl on the side, seeing that the blood on her forehead had slid down her face, she was very dissatisfied with Aunt Gu's family.
Gu Jinxiu bowed to the doctor and said, "The doctor bothers you to help this little girl deal with her wounds, and I will solve the matter here." ”
The doctor nodded, and wanted to take the little girl to the lobby of the medical hall, the little girl stood still, gently tugged on Gu Jinxiu's sleeve with one hand, looked up at her slightly, regarded her as the last straw, and cried: "Village chief, please save my mother." ”
Gu Jinxiu took pity on the little girl, restrained her displeasure, and said gently: "You can rest assured to deal with the wound, I won't let your milk take your mother away today." ”
The little girl nodded and followed the doctor away.
When the people in the hospital left, Gu Jinxiu glanced at Aunt Gu's family: "Aunt Qi, I asked you to come yesterday but you didn't come, what kind of wind blew you here today?" ”
Aunt Gu Qi saw Gu Jinxiu's eyes cold, which made her a little worried, and she pretended to be calm and said: "Yesterday's marriage made you mess up, and today Master Huang agreed to let this marriage continue, you quickly get out of the way, don't delay the old lady's time anymore, in case Master Huang blames it, there will be no good fruit for you to eat." ”
This person really opened his eyes when he saw money, and a living life could be ignored, Gu Jinxiu's eyes flashed with mockery, and the corners of his lips curled and said, "People can take it away." Seeing that Aunt Gu Qi's family was happy, Gu Jinxiu said again: "But you have to return the medical expenses to the county magistrate, otherwise the county magistrate will not be able to explain anything." ”
Aunt Gu Qi thought that she must complete this marriage today, and she must not let the silver in her hand fly, and said: "Village chief, you don't use the county order to bluff me, the medical hall guy went to find the county order and didn't come back for a long time, hmph, the county commander won't care about the affairs here at all, the village chief, you hurry away, otherwise, don't blame the old lady for not being polite." ”
After speaking, Aunt Gu Qi, who completely forgot that Gu Jinxiu was the village chief, motioned for her two sons to push her away.
Gu Jinxiu smiled at the two men who walked towards her, looked at Aunt Gu Qi and said calmly: "Aunt Qi, although the county magistrate did not come, he always pays attention to this matter, if you don't believe it, today you will marry someone, and tomorrow your family will have a prison meal." ”
Aunt Gu Qi saw that Gu Jinxiu was so sure, her heart was beating the drum for a while, and she didn't know whether to believe her or not, if it was true, wouldn't her family be finished, but if she didn't send the Lin family to the Huang family, her money was gone, not to mention, and she offended Master Huang, what should she do now.
At this time, Aunt Gu Qi suddenly remembered that Gu Jinxiu was the village head, and hurriedly reached out to hold the two sons, and Aunt Gu Qi's eldest son saw that Aunt Gu Qi was embarrassed, he looked like I am good for you, and persuaded Gu Jinxiu to say: "Village chief, if we don't send the Lin family to the Huang family, the people in the village will not be able to rent the Huang family's land, and when the time comes, you will not be able to explain!" ”
When Aunt Gu Qi heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said helpfully: "Yes, village chief, you can turn a blind eye to this matter, and in the future, when the Lin family marries into the Huang family, the people of our village will not have to worry about not being able to rent land." ”
Gu Jinxiu sneered, this matter is just unbearable for her, if she compromises today, her conscience will not go away in this life.
"Aunt Seven, let the people back, or we will see you in the government, I believe that the county magistrate will administer justice to the Lin family, and as for the matter of renting land in the village, I will solve it for them, so you don't have to worry about it."
Aunt Gu Qi saw that she persuaded her with good words, Gu Jinxiu did not compromise, she was very unhappy, she wanted to be angry at her but didn't dare, she had no idea for a while, looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and the family gathered around and muttered for a long time.
Aunt Gu Qi temporarily compromised: "Village Chief, the Lin family is a member of our Gu family, and you have no right to decide where she goes, but for the sake of her injury, we will leave her here, and when she recovers, we will come and take her back." ”
Anyway, it's still a long time before the five days given by Master Huang, and someone is willing to pay for Lin's injuries, and she has nothing to say, so it's a big deal to come back in two days!
As she spoke, Aunt Gu Qi motioned to her daughters-in-law to send people back, and then took the family to leave.
"Wait." If you want to go so easily, no way!
Gu Jinxiu saw Aunt Gu's family stop, and said loudly: "Aunt Seven, shouldn't your family pay for this medical bill?" ”
Aunt Gu Qi pretended not to know, and motioned for her family to go out with her eyes, and said, "What did you say, village chief, I didn't hear it clearly, I still had to leave beforehand." ”
Gu Jinxiu saw Aunt Gu Qi's family running out quickly, as if a ghost was chasing them, and seeing that Aunt Gu Qi's was about to leave, she said quickly: "Aunt Qi, if you don't pay the medical expenses today, when the Lin family is better, I will sell her to pay for the medicine, or go to the county commander's house to work to pay for the medicine." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Gu Qi hurriedly turned around and walked towards Gu Jinxiu, and said with a smile: "Village Chief, this Lin family wants to come to see the injury, it is you who are the master, and we didn't let her come, so you can't ask us for silver." ”
It was wrong for her to lead someone to the city gate to see a doctor, this person is really thick-skinned! Gu Jinxiu smiled back and said, "Aunt Seven, since you said that the Lin family belongs to your family, do you say that you will not pay this money?" Yesterday you seemed to say that you should let the Lin family stop ......"
After Gu Jinxiu's reminder, Aunt Gu Qi interjected: "Wasn't that an angry talk yesterday, don't take it to heart to the village chief, I can't pay!" ”
Hmph, for the sake of the generous bride price given by Master Huang, the old lady took out a few hundred essays painfully!
Gu Jinxiu nodded slightly, and said, "A total of twenty taels of silver, Aunt Seventh should give the money quickly!" ”
"What, twenty taels," Aunt Gu Qi's little eyes instantly widened, like a copper bell, her right hand tightly grasped the money bag in her sleeve, and her left hand gestured at the size of the wound, shouting: "The Lin family is just such a small injury, it costs twenty taels, village chief, you are a ghost!" ”
Gu Jinxiu glanced at Aunt Gu Qi's appearance, and the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she was robbing money. She spread her hands and said, "If you don't believe me, go and ask the doctor." ”
Seeing that Gu Jinxiu was sure, Aunt Gu believed it, thinking that the bride price given by the Huang family was fifty taels, almost half of which was about to be taken out, Aunt Gu was extremely reluctant to pay, and the others on the side were also unwilling, so they persuaded Aunt Gu not to take the money, anyway, the Lin family couldn't run.
Gu Jinxiu shook her head slightly, she must help the Lin family get rid of this family, and reminded: "How do you discuss, if you don't take the money, the Lin family will definitely not return to your family, and you can't marry into the Huang family, you can do it yourself!" ”
