Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

One of the ladies couldn't help it and pointed at Li Qingshan's nose and said, "Li Xiucai, I usually think you are a respectable man, but your Ruyi is just a little child. It's okay for you to ask him to wash your clothes, after all, the daughters of poor families all go through this.

But winter clothes are full of cotton, and they become extremely heavy after getting wet. It is impossible for a little girl to lift them. Not only do you want her to wash them, but you also have to take care of them. Aren't you asking her to do something that is out of her control?

You have read some books by sages, and I thought you were reasonable, but you are so harsh on your own daughter. Is this the so-called gentleman's way?"

"I...I..." Li Qingshan opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't say a word. Su Tong next to him was about to burst out laughing. My God, this lady is really his lucky star. She really touched his heart.

Su Tong suppressed her smile and pretended to speak for Li Qingshan, "Don't blame my husband anymore. He is just a scholar, and his original intention was not to teach the child a lesson. He just wanted the child to learn more, but unfortunately he used the wrong method.

My husband is a gentleman and has always loved children, so let’s forget about what happened today. I hope everyone will stop blaming him.”

Li Qingshan nodded quickly, "Yes, Ruyi is my youngest daughter. I feel sorry for her, so how could I intentionally beat her? This is all just a misunderstanding."

"That's great." The old lady nodded, "Mr. Li, I think you are a very talented person. You have studied for so many years, but I have never seen you pass the imperial examination. I think you should not continue to take the exam.

Look at your family and your wife, and you've found out that she's in this state. It's time to think about your children."

Li Qingshan naturally did not agree with what the other party said. He studied for the purpose of taking the imperial examination, and then became a Jinshi to bring honor to his family.

Li Qingshan said a lot of reasons, but the old lady didn't listen at all. She just waved her sleeves and said, "Even if you pass the imperial examination, so what? But your family is almost starving to death now, so take care of your stomach first.

Li Xiucai, I see that you are also a man. Since ancient times, men have been responsible for the outside affairs and women have been responsible for the inside affairs. Your wife is virtuous and has worked hard every day. Now she is seriously ill. You must not continue to be obsessed with it, or you and your child will starve to death. "

Li Qingshan hastened to assure that such a thing would not happen, but the neighbors around him did not believe it, because they saw with their own eyes that Li Qingshan was not a responsible man. Although he could read, he had not achieved anything remarkable over the years except passing the imperial examination.

Since ancient times, scholars have been called poor scholars by others, because scholars take exams online, which costs more and is more difficult to pass.

Mr. Li has taken exams for more than ten years, but he is still just a scholar. It is estimated that he will not have much future. It is better for him to put aside his face and find a job, so that at least his wife and children can live a good life.

The doctor next to him also wrote the prescription and handed it to Su Tong, then said: "Chenghui, for the sake of our relationship as neighbors, Madam Li will just give me 20 copper coins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingshan suddenly lowered his head, and it was obvious that he had no money. Su Tong also had tears in his eyes. He glanced at Li Qingshan next to him, and his meaning was also very clear, asking the other party to pay, but unfortunately...

The neighbors all looked disgusted. This Li Qingshan had money to drink and have fun with others outside, and even had banquets, but he couldn't even take out the money for his daughter's medical treatment. What kind of man is he?

Su Tong could only apologize repeatedly, "Doctor, I'm so sorry, there's only loose change left at home, I'll send the money to you tomorrow."

The doctor nodded in understanding, left with the medicine box on his back, and reminded the patient to get the medicine for the child as soon as possible, otherwise it would easily leave a root of disease in the future and even affect fertility.

The neighbors around also watched Ruyi grow up. They felt sad to see the child suffer like this. Some of the closer elders gave a few eggs each to help the child nourish himself.

When Su Tong saw the actions of these neighbors, he felt warm in his heart and thought that after the original owner passed away, his child grew up slowly with the help of the neighbors. It was a pity that he met the father of the gangster, but he would definitely remember the kindness of these neighbors.

After everyone left, Su Tong looked at Li Qingshan and said straight to the point, "Husband, how are we going to pay for the child's medicine? Are we going to let the child live like this forever?"

Li Qingshan's face was long. If he didn't go to get medicine for the child today, his reputation would probably be even worse tomorrow. He could only hold back his anger.

"I'm going to borrow some money from my classmates." Although Li Qingshan couldn't bring himself to do this, he also knew the importance of reputation. He was going to be a high-ranking official in the future, and he couldn't ruin his reputation at this time.

Li Qingshan also had several good friends who were scholars. After borrowing some money from each of them, they collected a total of more than 200 copper coins. This amount of money was not enough to buy three prescriptions.

Su Tong could only show an expression of gratitude, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Li Qingshan asked him to bring back some rice, flour and oil. It seemed that the other party thought that these hundreds of copper coins were dozens of taels of silver, and he wanted this and that.

"Ahem...Husband, I'm not feeling well. Otherwise, please go get some medicine. By the way, let the neighbors change their view of you. After all, you didn't mean to beat the child." Su Tong said with a wry smile.

Li Qingshan did not think much about it, thinking that his wife really cared about him, and left happily with the money. However, when he arrived at the pharmacy, his face fell. The money was only enough to buy three prescriptions, and there were still a few more. It was only after he had persuaded the doctor that the doctor was finally willing to give him a cheaper price.

Su Tong saw the other party coming back with a few packets of medicine and immediately understood. He said nothing, but just took the packets and went to boil the medicine.

Li Qingshan felt that the whole day was not going well for him. He finally had the evening time, but when he looked at the bland food in front of him and then glanced at the millet and egg porridge his child was eating, his face suddenly fell.

Su Tong only looked up at the other person's face and understood what the other person was thinking. "Husband, it's really thanks to these neighbors. They know that the child has suffered a lot, so they specially sent some food over. I believe that with these foods, the child should recover as soon as possible."

If this man had any shame, he should not have snatched the child's food. Although Li Qingshan wanted to eat the bowl of porridge, he didn't say so. He could only watch the bowl of porridge being eaten by the child.

It is not a good idea to keep the family in this state. It was pretty good before. Although there was no income, fortunately, the two of them would take on some embroidery and laundry work. But recently, the other party has stopped taking work, and the conditions at home have also deteriorated...
