Chapter 43, Betting
Zhu Wencai was about to pick up his mother and get up to look for the hospital, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Wait, don't move her at will, it will hurt your spleen." β
As soon as Zhu Wencai turned around, he felt a big dazzling red light waving in front of him, which made him close his eyes uncontrollably.
When I opened it again, there was already a strange woman squatting in front of me.
Tong Jiayan stretched out his hand and gently lifted the eyelids of Mrs. Zhu's family.
The low voice of the crowd sounded again, but this time the central figure of the discussion had changed from the mother and son of the Zhu family to her.
"Whose lady is this? Why did it suddenly appear out of thin air? β
"What is she doing? You can't be treating this woman, are you? β
"Does she know the mother and son of the Zhu family?"
There was a lot of discussion in his ears, and Zhu Wencai looked at Tong Jiayan who suddenly appeared with a stunned face, and watched in astonishment as she stretched out her hand towards her mother.
He wanted to shout, but seeing that Tong Jiayan just lifted Zhu's mother's eyelids to check, and then took Zhu's mother's pulse, turned his face sideways at him, and lowered his eyes to think.
Every move shows that she is just seeing a doctor.
"Has your mother always had abdominal pain?" Tong Jiayan suddenly shifted his gaze to Zhu Wencai's face and asked.
Zhu Wencai paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, how do you know?" β
Tong Jiayan opened her mouth, she wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, she still forgot it: "I'll talk about this later, I'll help you wake her up first." β
As she spoke, she got up and took out a green purse from her waist, took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from it, uncorked it, and held it up to her mother and shook it.
Zhu Wencai only felt a faint sour smell wafting away and lingering in front of his nose, which made people feel refreshed.
I wish my mother to wake up.
Tong Jiayan quickly corked the bottle to prevent the smell from evaporating.
"Mother-"
Zhu Wencai looked at Zhu's mother nervously and shouted.
"Wencai...... W-Where is this? β
Zhu Mu's consciousness was still a little blurred, and Zhu Wencai said, "You just fainted......" looked up at Tong Jiayan, "It was this girl who woke you up." β
"Oh......"
Zhu's mother wanted to get up, but Zhu Wencai was busy supporting her.
"Thank you, girl, for coming to the rescue."
Mother Zhu gratefully bent down to thank Tong Jiayan, and Tong Jiayan hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her.
"Auntie doesn't need to be polite."
Mother Zhu was helped up by her, and listened to her again: "Auntie, your body has not fully recovered, it is better to go to the hospital to have a look." β
Mother Zhu shook her head with a smile and kindness: "I have a number of my bodies, and they are all old problems that can't be cured." β
When they came to Jinling, they learned that the price of Jinling is very high, and the price of the small county in their hometown is one in the sky and one underground, which is really the legendary place where every inch of land is gold. They didn't have much money with them, so where could they waste money to give her a man who was half in the ground to see a doctor and take medicine.
Zhu Wencai said with a cold face when he heard this: "Mother, I'll take you to see the doctor." "Even if he is asked to do hard labor for others, he has to buy medicine for his mother!
Zhu's mother shook her head slowly, told him with her eyes that she had something to do and said it later, and asked him to thank Tong Jiayan first.
Tong Jiayan guessed their embarrassment, turned around and glanced at Luwu.
Luwu immediately handed her the purse containing the silver coin.
"This ......" Zhu's mother looked at the silver ticket handed over by Tong Jiayan and began to be a little confused, but soon understood what she meant, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so she quickly pushed it back, "We can't accept this money." The girl Bodhisattva has already saved my life, and we can't do it without knowing what is good or bad, and we have to make inches. β
Tong Jiayan held down Zhu's mother's hand and said with a smile: "Aunt listen to me first, okay?" β
Mother Zhu pursed her lips and made a gesture of listening.
Tong Jiayan said: "In life, everyone will encounter urgent needs. If you don't stretch out your hand when you encounter other people's difficulties, how can you dare to expect someone to lend a helping hand to you when you are in trouble? Speaking of this, she smiled slightly, "Besides, I didn't give you this money for free, but ...... lent to him. As she spoke, the corners of her mouth hooked, her head tilted, and her eyes fell on Zhu Wencai, who was standing next to her, with a smile.
Zhu Wencai was stunned for a moment, and his eyes quickly flashed with astonishment.
Zhu mother looked at her son.
The crowd also fell silent, and the sound of squirming and chattering sounded again.
"What does that mean?"
"Could it be that this young lady has taken a fancy to this Zhu Xiucai?"
"Oh, it's worth it today! I didn't expect that I could still see the drama of "coercing and catching a son-in-law" here! β
Everyone in the Tong family: "......"
Qingju fiercely glared at the group of gossipy people one by one.
These people's imaginations are too rich, right?! Aren't they all idle?!
Tong Jiaxin quietly took two steps forward and looked cautiously.
Could it be that the seventh sister really fell in love with this poor bastard on the road? Although this person does look good-looking, he can't be eaten as a meal if he looks good! And...... This man is still so poor!
Xiao Ji couldn't guess what Tong Jiayan wanted to do, but out of respect for her, Xiao Ji didn't step forward to take her away.
Maybe the good words are just kind-hearted to help the family? JustγEven if she really likes this young man, as long as she really likes this person, she won't mind being a mother. It's just that she has to inquire about the family's situation when she goes back.
Tong Jiayan didn't know that other people had already made up so many possibilities.
Similarly, Zhu Wencai did not.
They looked at each other, one smiling and quipping at the corners of their mouths, and the other looking deep and puzzled.
After a long time, Zhu Wencai took the silver ticket in her hand, and said to her as if he was saying to himself, as if he was telling her a promise: "I will pay you back." β
"Okay, I'll wait." Tong Jiayan nodded.
She walked towards Xiao Ji and pleaded to take Xiao Ji's hand: "Mother, can you let our carriage take them to the hospital?" β
Xiao Ji almost responded to her needs: "Of course you can." β
In the end, when the carriage was about to send people away, Tong Jiayan also deliberately left Luwu to accompany the mother and son of the Zhu family, and called her to her side to explain a few words.
Luwu looked up and nodded.
When the excitement is over, the crowd naturally disperses.
When the carriage was about to leave, Zhu Wencai suddenly called to stop and called Tong Jiayan: "Why do you want to help me?" β
Tong Jiayan turned around, thought for a while and asked, "I heard that you are a talent who is preparing to go to Beijing to catch the exam?" β
Zhu Wencai's gaze fell deeply on her face, not understanding what the connection between this question and what he asked.
"Yes."
Tong Jiayan smiled: "I think...... You're definitely going to be in high school. β
Zhu Wencai was stunned.
He guessed several possibilities, but he never expected her to say this suddenly.
"You just think I'm betting in advance, and I bet you're going to get ahead and make a splash. Therefore, take the difficulties in front of you as a polish for your future, and you must work hard, don't let my first bet go home empty-handed! β
After she finished speaking, she winked at him, turned around and walked to Xiao Ji's side, took her with her, and walked towards the jewelry store in front.
Zhu Wencai looked at her departing back in a daze, and the words she had just said echoed in her mind, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
It was as if a stream of hot blood had been ignited in his chest, and it was burning hot.
"Wencai, it's time for us to go."
Zhu's mother saw him staring at the back of the young lady, and felt that it would offend others, so she deliberately reminded her.
Zhu Wencai came back to his senses and let go of the car curtain.
Lu Wu smiled and shouted out, "Brother Niu, it's time to go." β
"Okay."
The carriage moved smoothly.
In the car, Zhu Wencai suddenly raised his head and asked Lu Wu: "Dare to ask Miss Guifu's honorable name?" He forgot to ask.
After asking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and he was afraid that Lu Wu would think he was rash and offended, so he quickly added: "I implore the girl to tell me, and I wish you a certain day before you can come to thank you and repay your kindness." β
Zhu Mu also nodded in agreement and looked at the green turnip.
Lu Wu said with a smile: "My lord's surname is Tong, and the Tong house in Peach Blossom Lane is our home, and my young lady is seven at home." β
Miss Tong Qi?
Zhu Wencai read these words twice more in his mind, and then nodded solemnly: "Zhu remembers." β
