Chapter 41 Allocation of debts
Inside the house.
The doctor had already helped Lu Feng tie the needle, and even wrote down the prescription to be used in the future.
"Doctor."
"Miss Lu, this prescription will be handed over to you, after entering the city to grab the medicine, strictly follow the instructions above to decoction and medicine, and after three to four days, the old man will come to the door for a follow-up. Of course, if your dad recovers a little and can come to the clinic himself, that's the best. The doctor told Lu Manman.
Lu Manman nodded and looked at the doctor gratefully: "Doctor, do the math, how much more money do I have to give you?" β
When it comes to money, Lu Manman is extremely happy. When the bookstore shopkeeper negotiated the contract with her, she opened her mouth and asked for a hundred taels, originally planning to use the money to pay for the villagers to help find Lu Feng, and the rest was used as start-up capital in the future. But now, this silver has become Lu Feng's life-saving silver.
"You don't have to give money for the time being, the man who was with you yesterday had a few encounters with me, and I also know which academy he is studying." The doctor said.
Man, college student?
He wasn't talking about Gu Heng, but how did he talk about Gu Heng's head.
Lu Manman looked at the doctor suspiciously.
"The girl's fiancΓ© is a responsible man, and he has privately instructed the old man that he will bear the cost of healing your father." The doctor said.
Lu Man was stunned for a moment, and instantly looked at the doctor with wide eyes, what he said was really Gu Heng? Gu Heng is so considerate and so good?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Gu Heng is a lot less hostile to her now, but that is all a premise. And getting along with Gu Heng, from the beginning to the present, she really didn't think that Gu Heng would be the one who could help her.
"Brother Heng really said that he would bear the cost of my man's treatment? Don't need us to pay it back? β
Xue Tong's voice interrupted Lu Manman's thoughts.
Lu Manman turned his head sideways and looked at Xue Tong, who appeared in the house at some point: "Finally willing to appear?" β
Xue Tong glared at Lu Manman, but she didn't have the heart to talk to Lu Manman, she only looked at the doctor, wanting to confirm: "My man's diagnosis and treatment fees and medicine expenses are really the responsibility of Brother Heng, don't you need us to take any more money?" β
The doctor looked at Xue Tong, is Xue Tong afraid of spending money? The light and shadow flashed in his eyes, after all, this is someone else's business, and he is not easy to mix: "He only said that he was responsible for giving money, as for whether you take the silver or not, I don't know." β
Xue Tong's face was entangled, she still didn't hear what she wanted to hear, she looked at Lu Feng and said nothing.
"Auntie, you might as well think about the benefits, if someone advances the silver, your man will not wait to die." The doctor couldn't see it and said something.
"......" Xue Tong didn't hear it and continued to look at Lu Feng.
Lu Manman frowned, he didn't agree with Xue Tong's reaction and what he said, and was about to tell the doctor that she didn't need Gu Heng to make a move, she wanted to take care of her father herself, just listen:
"Xue Tong, my brother Heng is responsible for Lu Feng's medicine and diagnosis and treatment fees, which is nothing, but this amount of money is a lot, and Lu Feng has two daughters." Gu Qin's family heard Xue Tong's words outside the house, and saw that Xue Tong was concerned about whether they wanted to give money or not. This Lu Feng is their family, and it is not natural for them to give money?
Lu Manman looked at Gu Qin's who walked into the room, and didn't quite understand the meaning of Gu Qin's words.
Xue Tong looked at Gu Qin's family: "What do you mean?" β
"After a long time, it is the daughter-in-law of my Gu family, her father is Gu Heng's father, when it is in danger, my family is smashing pots and selling iron, and I can pay for these expenses in advance."
"Advance?" Xue Tong's eyes flashed, and he heard the key in Gu Qin's words: "Don't you want us to pay it back in the future?" β
"Don't you want to pay it back, just let our Brother Heng pay for it alone?" Gu Qin's frowned, and looked straight at Xue Tong: "Lu Feng has two daughters, and Yueyue's appearance is not bad, she will definitely marry well in the future, according to the doctor's estimate of seventy taels of silver, not to mention much, my family will pay fifty taels, and in the future, Yueyue will marry someone and then subsidize my family's twenty taels." β
"Twenty taels?" Xue Tong shouted and looked at Gu Qin's in disbelief: "Do you know how much twenty taels is?" My family will get married after the month, and with the current situation in the family, the dowry is almost gone, how can I still make up for you another twenty taels? β
"Although twenty taels subsidize my family, this money is for her father's treatment." Gu Qin's family was actually reluctant to open this mouth, but when she went home with Gu Heng last night and offered to lend money to Lu Feng for treatment, Gu Heng mentioned that this cost should be shared between Lu Manman and Lu Yueyue.
She actually didn't understand why Gu Heng wanted to mention it like this, maybe it was because the cost was really too expensive.
But now that she mentioned it, she realized that it didn't seem to be the case.
"Twenty taels is too much, Qin Clan, since your family is rich, can't you all come out?" Xue Tong spoke anxiously.
"Xue Tong, don't you know what the situation in my family is, if you can give fifty taels of silver, that is already our limit, and we still have debts." As soon as the words came out, Gu Qin's family looked at Lu Manman, Lu Manman should have known that they had sold ginseng, she wouldn't demolish her, wouldn't she think about it, right?
Xue Tong opened her mouth, she naturally knew the situation of Gu Heng's family, and it was no better than her family: "No matter what, twenty taels is too much." β
"Fifty taels is not much?" Gu Qin glared at Xue Tong dissatisfied, and then looked at Lu Yueyue: "Yueyue, you are the most sensible, my aunt asked you, in order to save your father, are you willing to take on a debt of twenty taels?" β
Lu Yueyue opened her mouth, twenty taels, that was really too much, she wanted to refuse, but Gu Qin's was looking at her, if she refused, Gu Qin's was afraid that she would feel that she was not filial: "Auntie, I ......"
"Since Lu Yueyue and I are two sisters, and my father is also the two of us, the cost of treating my father is naturally half of us. But considering that I am the eldest in the family, I am responsible for my father's daily food, and I am only seventy taels of diagnosis and treatment fees plus medicine, and Lu Yueyue and I are half of each one, and thirty-five taels each. Lu Manman spoke, his words firm. If she was surprised by Gu Qin's proposal at the beginning, she would have figured it out later. Two daughters, and of the same age, one of them has half a debt, which is also fair.
And looking at Xue Tong's mother and daughter's attitude towards Lu Feng, she was really angry. Inexplicably, she just wanted Lu Yueyue to contribute some money.
"Lu Manman, what are you talking about here?" Lu Yueyue suddenly looked at Lu Manman, her tone shocked.
Lu Manman saw that Lu Yueyue and Xue Tong both looked at her at the same time, although the people were different, but the eyes that looked at her were as if they were going to eat her raw, looking at it this way, she felt that she couldn't cheapen them.
She looked at Gu Qin's family, and Gu Qin's family offered to lend them silver, afraid that Gu Heng didn't tell Gu Qin's family that she still had one hundred taels from the shopkeeper of Zhiyuan Bookstore.
In connection with reality, Lu Manman decided not to reveal his wealth for the time being.
"Auntie, then please help us pay the money first, and I will go to the village in a while and ask him to help write us an IOU, Lu Yueyue and I owe you thirty-five taels."
