You are unlucky and I am tough
Chapter 52 The Blackmailer Arrives
The next day, the weather was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain. Wei Qinglang decided not to go anywhere today and just stay at home writing a storybook.
Before, he would go into the space and turn on the computer to write, but he could only write for two hours a day at most.
This morning he asked Cheng Shuang to buy him the complete unabridged vernacular version of Water Margin from the system mall so that he could copy and revise it. He was determined to write at least two chapters today.
But who knew that Wei Nanxing wanted to learn archery, so he took out the bow and arrow he bought and waited eagerly for him to teach him archery.
Wei Qinglang had no choice but to teach him, and Cheng Shuang took over the job.
Cheng Shuang became addicted to this job. In the afternoon, Wei Qinglang wanted to take over but she refused and wanted to continue writing.
Because Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong are her two favorite characters in Water Margin, the following chapters are all about their stories. She fell in love with the satisfaction of being able to add to her favorite characters as she pleases, and directly said that she would take charge of the next few chapters.
Wei Qinglang saw that she was holding a pen in one hand and flipping through a book with the other, with a bowl of chicken soup on the table, looking very relaxed and contented, so he just let her go.
Moreover, after reading what Cheng Shuang wrote, he felt that some of the revisions were better than his. After all, girls are more delicate in expressing emotions.
Except for Cheng Shuang, who lied that she was not feeling well and was writing in her room, all the other family members were in the yard watching Wei Nanxing learn archery.
Wei Qinglang was surprised by Wei Nanxing's talent in archery. You know, he spent a lot of money to go to the club in his previous life and played for several years to reach his current level. But Wei Nanxing became a good archer after only learning for one morning.
With a whoosh, the last piece of firewood on the bench fell down. The people watching on the side immediately cheered and applauded, and Wei Qinglang also nodded with satisfaction.
Cheng Chen and Cheng Xu ran up and rearranged the four pieces of firewood, then ran back and squatted to watch.
Wei Nanxing took a deep breath and took a few steps back. He had already retreated to the wall, more than ten meters away from the target.
He drew his bow and aimed his arrow, his movements smooth and accurate, but this time he missed the target, and all four arrows in a row had missed.
Wei Nanxing lowered his head in disappointment. Wei Qinglang went over and patted him, "Don't be too impatient. Take your time. Practice close-range shooting first and change the target to a smaller one."
"Brother, you try it." Wei Nanxing handed him the arrow.
This distance was naturally no problem for Wei Qinglang. He took the bow and arrow, straightened his back, spread his feet slightly shoulder-width apart, slowly pulled the bowstring, his eyes focused and sharp.
Then he released his left hand, and the sharp arrow flew out, hitting the first piece of firewood. When it fell to the ground, the arrow pierced directly into the firewood.
The four people acting as the atmosphere group cheered again.
Wei Nanxing's eyes lit up, "Brother, I want to be as good as you in the future."
Wei Qinglang smiled and returned the bow to him. "If you feel that you can't practice in the yard, you can go to the bamboo forest behind to practice. Practice hard, and you will be more powerful than me in the future."
Wei Nanxing nodded seriously, ran over to replace the unchopped firewood with chopped firewood, chose a suitable distance and continued practicing.
Just when the family was having a great time in the yard, Wei Da Kui, who had been holding back his bad temper for two days, came to the door and slammed it.
Wei Qinglang walked over to open the door, and frowned when he saw Wei Da Kui and Li Xianglan standing outside.
Wei Da Kui couldn't wait to look inside, and seeing that the whole family was there, he pushed Wei Qinglang aside with an arrogant look on his face and swaggered in.
He kept yelling, "Your wife burned me and I was in pain for two days, but you guys are living comfortably in this new house."
Li Xianglan followed in and said, "Third brother, we're here today to collect medical expenses. The doctor said your eldest brother's injury will take several days to heal, and the medication will cost a lot of money. My sister-in-law doesn't have any money, and the village head also said that your family will have to pay for it."
Wei Qinglang narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that this was a blackmail attempt.
But he was not angry and just closed the gate.
After Wei Da Kui entered the yard, he put his hands behind his back, his eyes darting around, first looking at the house in front of him, then at Cheng Pan and the two children, and snorted with extreme disdain.
Seeing Wei Nanxing standing by, he ordered arrogantly, "Nanxing, pour a cup of tea for big brother."
Wei Nanxing glanced at Wei Qinglang and stood there without moving.
He walked to the table and wanted to sit down, but Wei Qinglang stretched out his legs and kicked the chair away.
Wei Da Kui managed to grab onto the table just in time to avoid falling to the ground. He stood up in a panic and said angrily, "Wei Qinglang, your wife hurt me like this, and you still dare to treat me like this?"
Wei Qinglang's face was full of impatience. "If you have something to say, just say it. You are not welcome in my house."
"good very good."
Wei Da Kui's face turned livid with rage. He suddenly pulled out several prescriptions and slammed them on the table. "Then there's nothing more to say. Pay me the money. The doctor's consultation fee plus the medical expenses together give me fifteen taels, and this matter will be over."
When Wei Qinglang heard the price, he couldn't help but sneer. This was exactly in line with his judgment of how shameless Wei Da Kui was.
Wei Nanxing hurried forward to check the prescription, but he couldn't understand it at all. He said in disbelief, "How can these two prescriptions be so expensive?"
Wei Da Kui stiffened his neck and shouted, "How is that impossible? I went all the way to the county town to see a doctor. He's the best doctor in town, and he prescribed the best medicine for me. Furthermore, my chest ached for two whole days and I couldn't sleep well. Do you think I don't have to pay for this?"
"Yes, your elder brother has been tossing and turning in pain these past two nights and couldn't sleep." Li Xianglan also joined in, her shrill voice sounding particularly harsh.
Wei Qinglang sneered, "What if I don't give it to you?"
"I want to see what kind of magic medicine is worth fifteen taels."
As Wei Qinglang finished speaking, the door of the main house creaked open and Cheng Shuang walked out.
She was concentrating on writing something in the room. When she heard the voice of an outsider, she wanted to come out to take a look. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Wei Da Kui say that he would compensate her with fifteen taels of silver.
In fact, she had guessed that Wei Da Kui would come to her house to ask for money sooner or later, but she never expected that he would dare to ask for such a high price, fifteen taels at a time.
When Wei Qinglang saw Cheng Shuang coming out, he retreated silently and gave Cheng Pan a wink, asking her to take the three children into the house.
Cheng Shuang went over and picked up the prescription. She couldn't help but sneer as she looked at it. She said, "One is the rhubarb prescribed by Doctor Wang, for external application, it only costs a dozen coins. The other one has lithospermum officinale, dragon's blood, borneol, safflower..."
Cheng Shuang threw the prescription on the table before she finished reading it. "Isn't this the prescription for Qi San Li? Do you know how much Qi San Li costs in the county pharmacy? How dare you ask for fifteen taels? Fifteen taels of Qi San Li is enough to bury you."
Wei Da Kui's guilty look dodged for a moment. This prescription was written when he went to the doctor in town to treat his injuries.
In fact, Doctor Wang in the village could also treat this injury, but he wanted to charge more money, and was afraid that Wei Qinglang, who was from the same village, would go to Doctor Wang for confirmation.
So he went to the town to find a clinic and got a prescription, just to extort money.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Shuang knew the prescription and knew it was Qi San Li at a glance.
Wei Da Kui felt guilty and became anxious. "Who said it was just the medicine money? I still have to pay the doctor's fee. And the doctor told me to have a good rest and eat a light diet.
You've made me unable to eat meat and unable to work. Can't I find someone to do the work in the fields and ask for wages?
And when I get better, shouldn't I eat some meat to replenish my body? I've lost weight these past few days, so even if you don't give me fifteen taels, you should at least give me ten taels."
Cheng Shuang was so irritated by the man's shamelessness that she laughed and cursed, "I think you're crazy too. Go get some treatment. You're dreaming about this in broad daylight."
"You...you..." Wei Da Kui was so angry that he was shaking all over and couldn't speak clearly. "Wei Qinglang, do you care about your wife? If you don't, don't blame me for being rude."
Wei Qinglang ignored him and turned to look at Cheng Shuang and asked, "How much are these two prescriptions?"
Cheng Shuang replied, "Da Huang is thirteen coins, Qi San is seventy-five coins."
Wei Qinglang nodded, then looked at Wei Dakui, "Doctor Wang's consultation fee is five cents, and the doctor in the city will charge you twenty cents, so a total of 113 cents. Don't you want mental compensation? I'll make it a round number of 120 cents for you."
After saying this, he took out his purse, counted out a hundred coins and put them on the table: "Take the money and leave quickly."
"You're sending away beggars."
Wei Da Kui widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He had said fifteen taels at the beginning just to deliberately raise the price for easier bargaining, thinking that he would be able to get a few taels of silver in the end.
I didn't expect them to calculate so carefully, it was just enough to cover the medical expenses.
Li Xianglan's expression turned extremely ugly, and she shrilly said, "Third Brother, isn't this too little? You should at least give me a few taels."
"That's all, not a penny more." Cheng Shuang stood beside Wei Qinglang with her arms folded, showing an attitude.
"If you don't give me ten taels of silver, I won't leave."
Seeing that there were only a little over a hundred copper coins on the table, Wei Da Kui started to act like a spoiled braggart and said, "I'll eat and sleep at your expense until you pay me."
"Really?" Wei Qinglang's eyes turned cold instantly.
"Yes." Wei Da Kui put his hands on his hips, looking arrogant and unreasonable. "I won't leave unless you pay me. Let's see what you can do to me."
Wei Qinglang turned to look at Cheng Shuang. Cheng Shuang had just noticed that he was looking at the bow and arrow beside him. She immediately understood his idea and nodded, saying, "Shoot him."
Wei Qinglang turned around and took the bow and arrow. With quick and decisive movements, he drew the bow and aimed the arrow directly at Wei Da Kui.
