The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers
Chapter 55 Debt Collection
Li Erniu and her son were frightened when they heard Tang Jizu's threat.
They didn't want to be like other people in the village who had no money to spend and had to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs all day.
"Apologize, do you want me to pry your mouths open?" Tang Jizu asked.
"My younger brother is still unconscious. This apology is insincere, right?" Qin Huiyin said indifferently.
Tang Jizu froze for a moment and looked at Tang Yichen: "Brother Chen, our two families are not beyond the fifth generation of kinship. Since we are of the same clan, can you please…"
"Uncle, it's not our family that's disregarding the ties of our clan. My sister is right. My younger brother hasn't woken up yet, and my mother isn't here either. This apology is insincere."
"Let's see the doctor quickly! It's so late, we're disturbing the doctor's rest." Qin Huiyin said, "Doctor, how is this aunt's injury? She's so strong, it should be just superficial injuries, right? And this little fat boy, his neck was bitten by my brother. Don't look at how much blood is flowing, just look at his lively appearance and you can tell that my little brother didn't have much strength left after being seriously injured by his mother, so the bite must not be very deep."
The doctor understood what the little girl meant, "Doctor, don't feel sorry for these two people, they are bad guys." But don't exaggerate their injuries too much, otherwise this family will be shameless and might even blackmail their family.
"I'll clean their wounds first and examine them thoroughly before we proceed," the doctor said. "But this kind of medicine for external injuries is very expensive. It costs three taels of silver. Do you have the money?"
"Three taels?" Li Erniu's face was grim. "You might as well go and rob!"
"Oh, you don't want to give it to me? That's fine. Go home and clean the wound with salt water and pour some wine on it. It will heal on its own in a few days." The doctor yawned. "If there's nothing else, you can leave."
"Mom, it hurts..." Tang Baoyu touched his injured neck. "That madman Tang Yixiao bit my neck and it bled a lot. What if I died?"
"This..." Li Erniu really couldn't bear to spend so much money.
However, she felt more sorry for her precious son.
She hesitated for a moment and said to the doctor, "It shouldn't cost much to bandage only him and give him medicine, right?"
"It's indeed cheaper," the doctor said. "Only two taels of silver."
"He's all alone..." Li Erniu's eyes widened. "He's just a kid, and there's only this little wound on his neck..."
Tang Jizu was really pissed off by this stupid woman.
If she had insisted their injuries were serious, he could have negotiated based on the severity of the injuries. Now, to avoid spending money, she said Tang Baoyu only had a minor neck injury. How could they negotiate from then on? Besides apologizing, compensating for the damages, and promising not to do it again, what else could he do?
"Uncle, did you hear that? Your son's injury is only minor. Our little brother is different. His injury is quite serious. Besides, my little brother's body can't afford it."
"Yes, yes, I will teach them a lesson when I get back." Tang Jizu smiled.
"Uncle, you won't withhold treatment for them, make their condition look more serious, and then cover up the matter, right?" Qin Huiyin looked at him with suspicion.
Tang Yichen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Huiyin with amusement.
He finally understood why Qin Huiyin had followed him. This little girl had many thoughts. Worrying about his injury was only one of them. She was more worried that he would be plotted against by this family.
"By the way, uncle, my mother is injured. Should I buy a bottle of trauma medicine to apply to her?"
"Of course I should, but a bottle of trauma medicine is not cheap..." Tang Jizu was embarrassed, "I really don't have that much money."
"It's okay. I heard that my uncle works in the city. He must be a wealthy man. Write an IOU to the doctor, put your fingerprint on it, and write down your home address and the address where you work. If you haven't paid me back in a month, I'll come to your house to collect it." Qin Huiyin looked at the doctor, "Doctor, is this okay?"
Faced with a fat sheep delivered to his door, would Dr. Shi say no? Of course not.
He stroked his beard with feigned reluctance and said, "Alright, this is the only way. A doctor's heart is compassionate, and I can't just watch your wounds fester."
"Uncle, since we've already bought on credit, this little bit doesn't matter. Let's bandage Aunt Li and Tang Baoyu's injuries as well, otherwise if the wounds get worse, it won't have anything to do with our family. Some people have evil hearts and might take this opportunity to cause trouble for our family. Uncle, in front of you, let's ask the doctor how serious the injuries are."
"This injury isn't serious. If you deliberately don't apply medicine to the wound, or deliberately let it worsen, it would be very easy."
"Doctor, let's do this. We'll apply the medicine, but not the medicine for external injuries. Can you give us a discount?" Tang Jizu didn't argue anymore and just wanted to leave early.
If I don't leave now, not only will I lose the money I have, but I will also lose my wages for the next few months.
I've known for a long time that Li Erniu is a spendthrift woman, but I didn't expect her to be even more so than I imagined. Don't give the family money to her anymore, give it to his mother for safekeeping.
"Just applying medicine and bandaging it, one hundred coins."
"Okay then, we'll just apply medicine and bandage it."
Li Erniu stared at the doctor's hand as he applied the medicine.
Since I'd already spent the money, I'd naturally want to apply as much as possible. However, the doctor's hands were incredibly steady, applying only a tiny amount with his fingertips, and it was gone before I could even see it.
However, the effect of this medicine is very good. After applying it, the wound is not so painful.
“Hiss…ah, it hurts…”
"Son, bear with it. Mom just applied some medicine. It won't hurt..." Li Erniu said beside her, "You're just too nervous."
"Mom, it hurts so much. Did you ask him to give you pain-free medicine and give me pain-inducing medicine? The colors of these two medicines are different." Tang Baoyu complained.
"Your mother's wound was a scratch, and yours was a bite. Can the same medicine be used for both? Otherwise, why is your medicine more expensive?" Doctor Shi said calmly.
Qin Huiyin smiled secretly.
She just saw that the doctor deliberately put some salt in the ointment. How could it not hurt?
This doctor is really interesting. Although he is greedy for money, he is also a person with a strong sense of justice.
The doctor applied the medicine and went in to wash his hands. Qin Huiyin said, "I'll go ask the doctor how to use this trauma medicine and what dietary restrictions should be taken."
She followed the doctor into the kitchen and lowered her voice, "Uncle, do you have any other medicine? Send me a few more bottles..."
Doctor Shi: “…”
He gave her an unpleasant look and said, "Do you think my medicine was blown here by the wind?"
"Of course your medicine didn't come from the wind. But, this fat sheep today was sent by us. You're happy to kill it, but you also feel sorry for us."
"You little girl..." Doctor Shi did not deny it, "I still have a few bottles of medicine. Come over and take a look. If there's anything you want, I'll give you a few bottles."
