Chapter 158
Speaking of this matter, it is really hard to say.

At the beginning, because the third house of the Lu family took good care of them, Xia Xiaoqiao thought, otherwise, they would have to pay for the corvee.

Save yourself the guilt.

But Lu Jingyuan had other considerations and did not agree to this matter.

Of course, this also has a premise that he has already greeted the Yamen and spent money.

It is a bit hard to work in corvee, but there is no need to worry about your life if someone takes care of you.

After all, if their second wife paid this amount of money, it would be a bottomless pit in the future. With the pissing nature of the Lu family, they might not have the good life of the third bedroom.

After all, the Lu family really did it to squeeze the third room to come to the second room to ask for money.

It's just that the idea is very good and the arrangements are in place. I never thought that the third house of the Lu family is so kind, that they go to do what is right?
It's not that being brave is bad.

But the problem is, when one is incapable, acting bravely is tantamount to dying.

If the yamen servant who had greeted him hadn't arrived in time, this man might have hurt his leg, or even his life.

"Oh——, it's all because of me that I harmed Dad, because of—"

Lu Saburo blamed himself and slapped his chest fiercely, regretting endlessly, he would rather be the one who was punished than himself, and he didn't want his father to take him through.

"Okay, things have happened, what's the use of blaming yourself?"

Xia Xiaoqiao sighed and said: "Let's learn a lesson in the future, that yamen servant is so blatant, either he has an enmity with that family, or he took money from the enemy's family, and wanted to kill the other party, you just ran out without hesitation, And I have no ability to protect myself, it's just killing my life."

"Don't blame yourself. You are safe and sound, which is the greatest comfort to third uncle."

Several people talked again, Xia Xiaoqiao took care of Uncle Lu's injury, gave him medicine and spirit spring water, and after he fell asleep, he followed Lu Jingyuan out of the house slowly.

At this moment, the people outside still didn't disperse, and the Lu family also stood in the yard, each with a mournful face.

Grandpa Lizheng sat at the top, saw them coming out, and hurriedly asked, "How is your third uncle?"

"Now I'm hanging with a ginseng piece, my life is saved for now, but if the leg is disabled, even if it gets better in the future, it will be a lame man."

"what?"

When the people around heard it, their mouths opened wide in shock.

"Sin, how did you become a cripple?"

"No, what can he do if he is crippled? He's still so young, tsk tsk—"

"What a pity, what a pity!!!"

"Hey, it's not bad if you can save your life. Tomorrow, the scholar's lady will say, is she hanging with ginseng? How much money is that?"

"Isn't it—"

Everyone talked one after another, and the deer family's expressions changed after hearing this.

"Participants?"

Old Mrs. Lu's face turned livid, "How much money does that cost? We didn't—"

"It's not much. This is my third uncle, so I don't have to pay the consultation fee, but the cost of the medicine is not cheap. Let's pay two taels of silver first, the money for the three medicines."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Xia Xiaoqiao interrupted her directly, and then continued: "However, for Uncle Lu's condition, he needs to take it for at least three months, and the medicine needs to be changed according to the situation. Can't be cured."

"What? Three 50 taels? Why don't you grab it?"

Old Mrs. Lu's expression changed instantly, "Whether you want money or not, you want life."

Really crazy, actually the lion opened its mouth wide, three 50 taels, what about Chinese cabbage?
The third child's life is more than so much money.

Xia Xiaoqiao could see her attitude, Lu Jingyuan could see it, and everyone else could see it too.

Everyone looked down on her.

"This old lady Lu is really cruel."

"No, that's my own son!"

"That's right, not to mention three 50 taels, even a hundred 80 taels can be saved, isn't there no money?"

"That's right, I swallowed 100 taels from Lu Xiucai a few days ago."

"Hey, you don't know that? This family would rather keep it as a bride price for their grandson than to save their own son's life?"

"God, is this still my mother?"

"Also, this long house just watched his brother die like this? Isn't it too black-hearted?"

There was a lot of discussion, and it was okay to scold Mrs. Lu, but when it came to the eldest son, Mr. Lu couldn't sit still.

"Nonsense—"

He scolded Mrs. Lu severely, "The third child's life is hanging by a thread now, even if the whole family sells everything, he can be cured."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she immediately understood what it meant.

So he just sat down on the ground, patted his thigh and cried, regardless of cleanliness:

"Do you think I don't want to see a doctor for the third child? It's the flesh that fell from my body, who will hurt if I don't hurt?"

"How can there be such money at home now?"

"Woo--, do you still have the 100 taels of silver from the past few days? It was sent to the Zhou family a long time ago. Why would a dignified daughter like us marry ordinary people like us?"

"If Zhou Juren hadn't been really optimistic about our family's Erlang, seeing that he is a talented person who will definitely be able to enter high school in the future, he would have agreed to this marriage so easily? Not to mention the dowry of 100 taels, even if it is three 500 taels, how much would it be? People go up to the pole to ask for marriage?"

"What can I do as an old woman? Everyone calls me cruel, but I don't want to be cruel, but I have money too?"

"Now the fields are in ruins, and this year's crops are not harvested. I don't know what to do. Where do you want me to get the three 50 taels of silver?"

"Aren't you forcing me to die? Otherwise, don't let this day pass, whoever buys the good land, I will sell it to her, woo—"

After hearing Mrs. Lu's mourning, everyone was not happy.

I thought what she said was not unreasonable!
What is the identity of the Zhou family?
To be able to value Lu Erlang as a son-in-law, the dowry of 100 taels is really not much. It is said that it belongs to the Lu family.
No wonder Lu Laoqi didn't care about his face at the beginning, even if the children and grandchildren who sold the second room had to contribute the 100 taels of silver.

Coupled with this natural disaster, everyone felt uncomfortable.

For a while, I felt quite sympathetic to the Lu family.

Mrs. Lu's sudden appearance also confused Xia Xiaoqiao, she glanced at Lu Jingyuan in surprise.

I don't understand what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds.

And Lu Jingyuan kept his face sullen, not knowing what he was thinking.

But it didn't take long for the Lu family to show the fox's tail.

Grandpa Lu sighed and said: "Third cousin, you have also seen that our family is in such a state that we really can't afford three 50 taels of silver to save the third child's life. If not, then sell the land."

"Father, if the land is sold, what shall we do in the future? What will we eat?"

Lu Laosi couldn't help it anymore, and opened his mouth directly.

"What do you eat? If you don't have the land to plant, you'll end up working as a long-term laborer in the town. You won't die of starvation, but if you don't save your third brother at this time, he won't be able to survive. That's your dear third brother."

Mr. Lu slammed the chair heavily, and then said dejectedly: "That's it, our family has a total of more than mu of fertile land, and we can always make up enough money if we sell it."

"What, all sold?"

Lu Laosi was startled immediately, thinking that Father is so cruel that he wants to sell them all.

"No, I don't agree."
