Chapter 21: Marriage
"You can rest assured, there is absolutely no problem with where this money comes from, but I can't tell you the specific details yet, I can only say that it is because of Du Lao's help, and it is also related to my talent for refining medicine." Yi Chen smiled indifferently.
Yi Minghai couldn't help but look happy, "Could it be that Elder Du accepted you as an apprentice?" So you were introduced to an errand that paid well? ”
Hearing this, Liu Yun and Yi Kun on the side also looked at Yi Chen with surprise and expectation.
Who is Du Lao, that is the current head of the Du family, one of the four innate families of Qingshi Village, one of the four elders of the Qingshi Martial Hall, not only a well-known second-order top pharmacist, but also the second strongest person in Qingshi Village!
Even Dong Batian, the head of the Dong family, who is known as Dong Maniac, has to be polite to Du Lao.
If Du Lao really takes Yi Chen into his door, it would be great, and their family will have a backer in the future!
Seeing the three of them like this, Yi Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly, and silently gave his father Yi Minghai a thumbs up in his heart, it was really good!
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to prevaricate, but now it seems, hehe...
"Elder Du really intends to take me as an apprentice, but he said that he had to put me to a test, so he introduced me to a job as an alchemy apprentice in the town as a test, and the salary is very generous, as long as I can successfully complete it, he will agree to accept me as an apprentice." Yi Chen's face was not red or breathless, and he made up the Tao appropriately.
Yi Minghai and the three of them were immediately overjoyed.
"Haha, you kid can, you really took a fancy to Du Lao, haha, then you have to work hard, and strive to complete his old man's test of you as soon as possible." Yi Minghai laughed excitedly.
After speaking, he couldn't help but continue eagerly: "But the salary of your alchemy apprentice is too high, thirty source stones a day?" That's more than your dad and my income in three months! ”
Liu Yun on the side also exclaimed: "It is said that alchemists are the richest group of people, but I didn't expect that even the treatment of alchemy apprentices is so high!" It's incredible. ”
Seeing the fiery expressions of his father and mother's eyes, Yi Chen couldn't help but feel slightly weak in his heart, how could a mere alchemy apprentice have such a high salary.
But at this moment, since my father and mother have no suspicions, he can naturally push the boat along the water.
"Of course, this is mainly because my alchemy talent is relatively good, hehe." Yi Chen said with a smug smile.
"Hahaha, you kid is so good! is worthy of my Yi Minghai's son! Yi Minghai's face was full of excitement, but his eyes were faintly moist and red.
Yi Chen said loudly: "The medicine that the eldest brother needs should also be improved, I believe that our family will get better and better in the future, as for the money, don't worry, just leave it to me." ”
"Xiao Chen is right, it will get better and better in the future, and our family will be good." Liu Yun cried with joy.
In the past six months, Yi Kun's body has also deteriorated, and there is no hope of recovery at all, coupled with the sudden huge amount of arrears, which has made her fall into despair many times, but she has never given up.
I can only grit my teeth and keep trying to make money, hoping to see a glimmer of hope, even if it is just a glimmer of hope.
Now we finally see hope!
Yi Kun in the wheelchair also looked excited, he thought that his life was over, he didn't want to drag anyone down, thinking that it was really not possible, he pushed the wheelchair and quietly left, finding a place where no one could find him and slowly waiting for death.
But he couldn't give up, because he still had his father, mother, second brother and third sister who loved him, and he also loved them deeply, and he couldn't give it up, he couldn't do it, because it would be too cruel to his family.
He could imagine how devastated his family would be if he disappeared or died like this.
He couldn't bear it, so he didn't do it, and at the same time he had a small glimmer of hope and luck in his heart.
At this moment, he finally saw a glimmer of light!
Yi Xiaofei on the side clapped her little hands excitedly, and said happily in her mouth: "Hehe, the second brother is so good, so good!" ”
Seeing his family's excited and joyful expressions at this time, Yi Chen was happy from the bottom of his heart, nothing is more important than making his family.
"Xiaochen, thank you." Yi Kun said with a little emotion.
"What are you talking about, big brother, we are a family, what thank you you say to me, it's true." Yi Chen patted Yi Kun's shoulder speechlessly and scolded with a smile.
"In the future, you can recuperate with peace of mind." Yi Chen smiled and said, "I'm still waiting for you to marry Sister Qingshuang home in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yi Kun's expression suddenly darkened, and he said bitterly: "She and I may really be inseparable from her." ”
Yi Chen was puzzled, if it was said that in the past, because there was no money for treatment, there was no hope of recovery, but now that he has money, although it is not much, at least there is hope.
Isn't the eldest brother still not confident?
"Big brother, you ......"
Yi Chen was just about to persuade, but Yi Kun interrupted: "She is about to get married, the groom is Dong Fu, and the wedding will be held in three months." ”
"How is that possible!" Yi Chen was obviously a little shocked, and hurriedly said, "Who said that?" How did I not know? ”
He turned to look at Yi Minghai and Liu Yun, who were also suspicious, they obviously didn't know.
"Yes, Xiaokun, who are you listening to? If this is true, it should have been announced to the village. Liu Yun wondered.
Yi Minghai on the side said angrily: "It must be that the Dong family came to the house again today to talk nonsense, hmph, I know that they are not well-intentioned, and they always want to change their ways to rectify people, otherwise our family will be better." ”
Yi Chen shook his head bitterly and said, "It was Qingshuang who told me this afternoon. ”
"What!"
"How is that possible!"
"How could Sister Qingshuang ......"
Yi Chen suddenly remembered that the little girl said that Gu Ruoxi and Hu Qingshuang had come to the house in the afternoon, and he was still a little surprised at the time, it turned out that the Hu family agreed to the relationship between the two? Rather, to part ways?
However, Yi Chen is still a little difficult to accept, with his understanding of Hu Qingshuang, he doesn't believe that she will abandon her eldest brother and join Dong Fu's arms, he knows very well how deep Hu Qingshuang's relationship with his eldest brother Yi Kun is, and he has long regarded Hu Qingshuang as his sister-in-law in his heart.
"Big brother, is it Sister Qingshuang who is personally to you, does she want to choose Dong Fu?" Yi Chen asked unrelentingly, "Or is she actually forced?" ”
"It's all the same." Yi Kun shook his head gloomily.
Yi Chen's expression suddenly condensed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Big brother, do you mean to say that Sister Qing is not allowed to marry Dong Fu because she was persecuted?" ”
Yi Kun nodded slightly, and said helplessly: "Qingshuang came to me in the afternoon, in fact, she wanted me to fly away with her, but look at my current situation...... If you leave with her, won't you harm her? ”
"She is a golden branch and jade leaf of the family, do you want her to accompany me to wander around? I can't do it, I can't be so selfish. Yi Kun's expression was full of pain and sourness.
He hated his powerlessness, hated that he couldn't even protect the woman he loved, and he had to watch her forced into the arms of other men, and this man still kept seeing Dong Fu as a thorn in his eye, so you can imagine how he is feeling at the moment.
But he has no choice, whether it is the Dong family or the Hu family, it is not something that their Yi family can provoke, even if he really goes away with Hu Qingshuang, can the Dong family and the Hu family let his family go?
At that time, dad Yi Minghai, mother Liu Yun, as well as Yi Chen and third sister Yi Xiaofei, can they not be implicated? Will it be safe and sound?
He didn't dare to bet! He would rather suffer than put his family in danger!
He only hated, hated that he couldn't protect Hu Qingshuang, and hated the Dong family's domineering and the Hu family's ruthlessness.
Looking at Yi Kun, whose expression was full of torment and pain at this moment, a certain firmness gradually emerged in the depths of Yi Chen's eyes, and then he asked solemnly: "Big brother, do you believe me?" ”
