Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Let's relieve Xiaoru's pain first." Seeing that her daughter was numb from the pain, Wang hurriedly said to Doctor Li.

Doctor Li wrote the prescription and handed it to Wang. That was all he could do. As for not leaving a scar, he really couldn't do it, so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Da Lang, hurry up and go to Chunshengtang in town to get medicine." Wang said anxiously. "It's too slow to walk there. Yes, there is a car next door. Go borrow it from your uncle." As she spoke, she took out a silver ingot, two gold bracelets and a gold hairpin. "If the silver is not enough, just pawn these two pieces of jewelry. If it's still not enough, I'll find another way."

Wang was no longer shy about it. She didn't care what Cui thought. Nothing in the world was more important than treating her daughter's leg injury. Her family background, which had never been revealed before, was exposed at this moment.

Cui's eyes twitched. One ingot of silver was worth fifty taels. She wanted to say something, but looking at Xiaoru's miserable condition, she didn't say anything.

Old Master Sheng frowned, glanced at the people in the room, and asked Sheng Hao to go with him. First, Sheng Hong didn't know how to drive, and second, the third son's family was too far away from the first son's family. If the eldest son went to borrow a car, the third son's family probably wouldn't lend it to him. Besides, the third son's father-in-law and mother-in-law were still there, and he couldn't let them see the joke.

While the two of them were leaving, Wang was still reminding them, "If there is a doctor at Chunsheng Hall, please ask him to come. The doctors in the village know nothing and can't treat any illness. Hey, it's so late, I'm afraid you'll have to knock on the door of the pharmacy. If you can't get a doctor, just get the medicine back first. Your sister is entirely in your hands." Wang spoke in rapid fire.

"Hey." Sheng Hong ran out in a hurry, followed closely by Sheng Hao.

"Master, I don't want to marry Zhao Shan." After Xiao Ru woke up, she looked at the wound on her leg and remained silent. The sweat on her forehead showed how much pain she had endured. "If you force me to marry him, I will hit my head and die at home."

The old man already knew why Sheng Nuo insisted on marrying Xiao Ru to Zhao Shan. It was the tail of the previous ghost marriage. At that time, Sheng Nuo was plotting to murder Xiao Lan and was caught by Zhao Er Ma Zi. According to Sheng Nuo, when they lived in the town some time ago, Zhao Er Ma Zi came to ask for money. Sheng Nuo gave him a few taels of silver. This time, he went even further and directly asked his son to marry Xiao Ru, saying that as long as he agreed to the marriage, he would never mention the murder of Xiao Lan.

Sheng Nuo had no choice but to agree. He really didn't want to be blackmailed anymore. He thought, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. If Xiaoru's marriage could solve this trouble, that would be great.

Old Master Sheng repeatedly told him that he was confused and explained to him that even if Xiaoru married him, Zhao Ermaizi's family would come to threaten him when they couldn't make ends meet. Now his actions had alienated Wang and cost him a daughter, so he needed to think about this matter carefully.

Old Master Sheng saw Xiao Ru looking at him eagerly. After all, she was the blood of the old Sheng family, and he was unwilling to push her into the fire pit. "Let's talk about this after the New Year. You should take good care of your injuries first."

"Mom, the fire in the main room is still burning, don't burn the pot." Chunhua reminded quickly, "Are we still going to make our buns and steamed buns? There's still a lot of flour left in the basin."

"Do it, why not do it! Don't just stand here, go and do something else." After saying this, Cui came out of the old house first.

The fire in the main kitchen had been extinguished long ago. After the second and fourth sons' families filed out of the eldest son's house, some started to light the fire and some started to make steamed buns.

The steamed buns in the pot were reheated and steamed for the second time. After they were taken out of the pot, they looked like they were made with unleavened dough and were not noisy at all.

When Sheng Hong arrived, Xiao Lan's family was making the last pot of steamed buns. "Uncle, Xiao Ru's leg was burned. I'm in a hurry to go to town to get medicine. I want to borrow your ox cart." Sheng Hong came to Xiao Lan's house without any politeness. He directly told Sheng Xuan what he wanted. He was embarrassed to ask Zhang Shanfeng's family to borrow a horse carriage, so he could only borrow an ox cart as a second choice.

Sheng Hao also rushed over and briefly explained what had happened and Xiaoru's injuries. Sheng Xuan still treated Xiaoru as his niece, so he lent them the ox cart.

Xiao Lan curled her lips, thinking that this was retribution. She didn't want to have anything to do with their family anymore, but since Sheng Xuan asked to borrow the car, she couldn't say anything.

She was just about to tell Zhang that she was going to check next door when she saw the door of her house being pushed open.

"Hey, are you done with your work?" Shen walked into the room and said with a smile.

"Yes, second sister-in-law, are you ready too?" Zhang said as she gave Shen a seat in the main room.

"Don't mention it. My house is a mess right now. How can I have the mood to work? I just saw that your house was still lit, so I came over to chat with you."

"Second aunt, what happened to Sister Xiaoru? Just now, Brother Dalang came to my house to borrow a bullock cart, but he didn't explain it clearly. He just said that you scooped a bucket of boiling water and poured it on Xiaoru." Xiaolan said.

"Oh my God, I am more wronged than Dou E. Dalang is such a heartless man, he actually framed me like this. In my opinion, there is no good person in the old family. It was obviously Xiaoru's leg that was on fire, and I was in a hurry to help her put out the fire, forgetting that there was boiling water in the pot. My kindness was not rewarded. If I hadn't put out the fire with a bucket of water, I don't know if Xiaoru's leg could have been saved."

"Ah, second aunt, why did Sister Xiaoru's leg catch fire?" Xiaolan brought a glass of water to Shen and asked her to drink.

"It's all because of the marriage her father promised. Let me tell you, Zhao Ermaizi brought Zhao Shan here tonight. You don't know, Zhao Shan's appearance is so terrible that even if you meet him on the street, you'll be scared. When Xiaoru saw her future man look like this, she was so scared that she wanted to commit suicide."

Xiaolan's family looked at each other in surprise. This was a shocking piece of news. Sheng Nuo actually wanted to marry his daughter to Zhao Shan.

After meeting Zhao Ermaizi last time, Xiaolan asked Zhang and Shengxuan about him. He was a widower and a well-known poor family in Zhaojia Village. His son was a gangster who was idle all day long. No girl within dozens of miles was willing to marry him.

"Oh, Xiaoru is such a beautiful girl, how could her father bear to let her go?" Zhang sighed.

Shen lowered her voice and said, "When I came back from the toilet, I vaguely heard the conversation between the eldest brother and the old man. It seemed that the eldest brother was blackmailed after being seen by Zhao Ermaizi while harming someone in the mountains. The eldest brother had given him a lot of money without the old man's knowledge before, and this time it was even more excessive. He actually wanted Xiaoru, and the eldest brother agreed. I'm afraid the eldest brother has done something very bad."

Hearing this, Xiaolan's family all looked unhappy. Shen was a master at observing people's expressions. "Could it be that he saw the incident of pushing Xiaolan? Oh, the old family has done too many evil things and finally got retribution." She spoke a little hurriedly and choked on her saliva. "Let me tell you, this time, Wang paid for Dalang to get medicine and see a doctor at the pharmacy. Mom, I finally opened my eyes. Wang took out a whole ingot of silver, plus two gold bracelets and a gold hairpin. You see, we usually save money and dig for food in the fields every day just to earn money to support the old man and Dalang to study. I didn't expect them to live so lavishly. You didn't see it. When Wang took out the silver, the faces of the old man and the old lady were like a palette." At this point, Shen was a little indignant.
