Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Xu Fei's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

This old man is quite good at acting.

But wait until I finish what I am going to say next, and see if you can still continue acting!

"Your son's body is being eroded by cold and yin energy, and needs to be neutralized with warming medicine."

"Ordinary hot herbs cannot achieve this effect. It requires ginseng that is over a hundred years old to be effective."

Even the most unsophisticated farmer can understand the value of the three words "Laoshan Ginseng".

Old Man Chen's forehead was slightly sweaty, and his voice was not as firm as it was at the beginning: "Hundred-year-old mountain ginseng should be difficult to find."

Xu Fei smiled: "It's indeed difficult to find, but I have to say that your family is quite lucky."

"Last month, Pingzhilin just collected a century-old mountain ginseng. Considering your eagerness to save your son, I'll sell it to you at a lower price of one hundred taels." Xu Fei said.

At this moment, Old Man Chen wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

What's the point of saving face and reputation?

Now I've got myself involved as well.

Also, this matter is too coincidental. My son needs old mountain ginseng, and Pingzhilin just happens to have it.

Could it be that this young miracle doctor wanted to take this opportunity to sell the unsellable old mountain ginseng to himself?

Before Old Man Chen could figure it out, Li Xiuzhi came up to him, plopped down on the ground, and begged, "Dad, please, save Erlang."

Old Man Chen murmured, "Erlang's wife, it's no use begging me. Dad doesn't have that much money."

Xu Fei said, "It doesn't matter if you can't come up with that much right away. We can sign a contract with 30 taels as a down payment, and the remaining balance can be paid back within five years."

Old man Chen was sweating profusely and had no idea how to respond.

I agree. Thirty taels out of my own pocket is not a small amount.

If you don't agree, the words you just said will turn into a boomerang and pierce you all over.

Just when Old Man Chen was at a loss as to how to respond, Qin spoke up, "Let alone thirty taels, we can't even come up with ten taels."

"Anyway, my life is saved, the rest is up to fate."

After Qin finished speaking, she took Old Man Chen and left.

This was the first time that Old Man Chen felt that his wife was so pleasing to the eye.

"Third and fourth brothers, carry your second brother home."

Old man Chen turned around and gave instructions.

The villagers outside the house were stunned.

As expected, two kinds of people cannot sleep in the same bed. Qin vowed to save her daughter-in-law, but was forced to reveal her true colors by five taels of silver.

Later, Old Man Chen swore to save his son, but was frightened by the one hundred taels of silver and broke his promise in public, sweating profusely.

Moreover, Old Man Chen's behavior is even more despicable than Qin's.

Normally, everyone thought that Old Man Chen was an honest and reliable banker, but now it seems that he is also a villain who says one thing in front of you and another behind your back and does not keep his word.

When the brothers Chen Laosan and Chen Laosi carried Chen Lang to the door, Xu Fei slowly delivered the final blow.

"The son is disabled, the daughter-in-law is half-crippled, and they have a little baby. It's understandable that the couple is mentally unbalanced. After all, the three of them will all rely on their parents for support in the future."

Hearing this, Qin clenched her fists.

You want me to support Chen Lang's family?

No!Can!can!

……

On the way home, Chen Lang kept comforting Li Xiuzhi and Guoguo.

Although Li Xiuzhi knew that the whole thing was a play conspired by Chen Lang and Xu Fei, Chen Lang's pale face and the wound that was still bleeding showed that he paid a huge price to make the effect of this play realistic.

However, Li Xiuzhi is an adult after all and can control her emotions. Chen Lang's main source of comfort is his daughter Guoguo.

The little girl didn't know that her father's injury was just an act. She truly believed that her father almost died and she was going to become a fatherless child.

So I kept crying and crying.

Chen Lang couldn't say it directly, so he could only find ways to comfort her and make her happy.

It wasn't until they got home that Guoguo's condition got a little better, and her sobbing turned into choking.

But his eyes were swollen like peaches, which made Chen Lang feel distressed.

After the third and fourth brothers put Chen Lang on the ground, Qin couldn't wait to speak: "Erlang, let's talk about the follow-up issues."

Chen Lang pretended not to know: "Mom, what's the follow-up question?"

Qin said, "The doctor said that your body needs to be recuperated and you need some nourishing food. It will cost more than one hundred taels of silver in total."

"You know what our family's financial situation is like. The fourth child hasn't married yet, and the youngest hasn't married yet. Two marriages would drain our family's savings. We really can't afford to take care of your health."

"It's not realistic to just support you. What will the other families think of us old couple? Besides, it's always the children who support their parents. How can parents support their adult children?"

Chen Lang's face darkened and he said, "Mom, are you trying to kick me out?"

Qin said, "I'm not driving you away, I'm dividing the family."

"Haven't you been clamoring for a while now to split the family? Now that your parents have granted your wish, let's divide the family!"

Seeing Qin's impatience, Chen Lang felt both sad and amused. After a moment, he said, "I was in good health some time ago and was able to earn money for the family. If you disagreed with the division of the family, I didn't say much."

"Now that I'm a cripple and can't make any money, you can't wait to split up the family business. Don't you think this is too much, Mom?"

"At this stage, I definitely won't split up this family. If I do, how will our family of three survive?"

Qin's face turned pale: "Chen Erlang, are you going to rely on our family?"

Chen Lang asked, "What do you mean by blaming me? Am I not your son?"

"Mom, have you ever thought about how much damage it would do to the Chen family's reputation if you kicked out a son who couldn't take care of himself? Would anyone in such a family be willing to marry their daughter to us, or marry a woman from our family?"

Qin was furious and said, "Chen Erlang, you are too cruel, aren't you? Just to stay at home, you even curse your own brothers and sisters? Are you still a human being?"

After saying that, he kicked Old Man Chen and said, "Boss, you should say something too!"

Old Man Chen frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, "Erlang, although your mother's words may not be pleasant to hear, our family really doesn't have the conditions to support you."

"Separation is good for both parties."

Chen Lang clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, okay!"

"Since my parents don't care about family affection, I might as well not stay in this family!"

"Old Four, go call the village chief!"

Seeing that Chen Lang was willing to split the family, everyone in the Chen family felt relieved.

After a while, the village chief was brought over by Chen Silang.

Seeing Chen Lang sleeping on the straw mat, the village chief suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Is this how Old Man Chen and his family treat their own flesh and blood? They don't even let them lie down on the bed when they're injured, and they just let them sleep on the floor?

"Chen Laosi came here in a hurry and said that there was something going on at home and he wanted me to help make a decision. What was it?" asked the village chief.

Old Man Chen said, "Village Chief, it's like this. We want to divide the family property, and we specially asked you to be a witness."

The village chief looked at Chen Erlang, then at Old Man Chen, and his expression became increasingly strange.

If Old Man Chen wanted to divide the family property, he would definitely not share it with the third and fourth sons. Chen Xia was a girl, so there was no question of dividing the family property either.

Then the only one who wants to split the family business is Chen Erlang.

But Chen Erlang had just saved his life and his body had not yet recovered, but Old Man Chen proposed to divide the family property. This was too ugly.

More importantly, Chen Laosi is about to reach the age of marriage. By doing this, isn’t Old Man Chen afraid that his youngest son won’t be able to find a wife?

After all, who would dare to marry their daughter to a family that has no humanity at all?

What if I get a minor illness or disaster in the future? Will Old Man Chen kick me out on the spot?
