The peasant girl led her mother and sister to become rich

It was already late when we came out of Uncle Niu's house. The roast meat shop had already opened, and there was a long line at the door. Du Run and her uncle Ling Xiao were busy in the shop. Especially Du Run, the little girl, was really a business material. She called the customers "uncle" and "aunt" all the time and made them smile.

In order to make it easier for him to sneak out, he had already handed over the preparation methods of hand-shredded chicken and pork belly to Song Yunxi a few days ago. Now the three of them are selling at the front desk, and Song Yunxi is in charge of cooking in the kitchen.

I'll go to the clay pot rice shop while I still have time. I've been too busy lately and haven't had much time to go there for a stroll. It's a good opportunity to go and take a look today.

At this time, creepy screams could be heard from the Bai family from time to time. If you didn’t know, you would think they were slaughtering pigs!

“Ahhhh!…”

"Don't touch me! Help! ..."

"Hold it down and don't let it move. If it's not reconnected properly, this hand will be useless in the future. Not to mention holding a pen, he may not even be able to live a normal life," said Doctor Tian from Jishidiang while holding Bai Gaozhong's hand with a serious face.

"What? Disabled!" When she heard the word disabled, Old Lady Bai's mind went blank, as if she was struck by lightning. The scholar she had supported with great difficulty had become a disabled person!

"My poor son! That bitch was so cruel to treat my son like this." Shen cried and lay beside Bai Gaozhong's bed, howling.

"Shut up, why are you crying! Get out of the way! Eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, the three of you hold him down and don't let go!" The old man made up his mind to speak at the critical moment. After all, he worked so hard to support his two grandsons to study for all these years just so that they could become officials and enjoy life himself. Now if they are disabled, how can they become officials? Wouldn't the money spent in these years be wasted!

"Help! Grandma... help me, it hurts so much... ah..." Bai Gaozhong, who was held down, could only cry out heartbreakingly.

But for the sake of having a good life in the future, no one present dared to speak. After all, he could still take the imperial examination if his hand healed. By the time the doctor healed his hand, Bai Gaozhong had fainted from the pain.

"This is a bone-setting and tendon-strengthening pill passed down from our ancestors. It costs one tael of silver per pill. In his case, he needs to take it for at least seven days. In addition to these medicines, plus the consultation fee, the total is nine taels and five cents."

"More than nine taels? This... this is too expensive!" When Old Mrs. Bai heard the price, she felt like she was about to be emptied out. It cost her almost ten taels to treat her hand. Some time ago, she had to pay fifty taels to that bitch Bai San Ya, most of which was borrowed back. Now she wants ten taels again. Isn't this asking for her life?

"If you think it's too expensive, don't treat me. There are only fifteen pills of the medicine left, and there are many people who want to buy it. Just pay for the medicine and the consultation fee!" Doctor Tian said with an unhappy look on his face.

If the other party was not a scholar, he would not have wanted to come. He thought that families of people who can study would not be very poor. After all, it is not easy to support a scholar. He thought he could make a fortune, but who knew that he was just a poor scholar.

"Treat it! It needs to be treated. Doctor, please wait a moment, I will give you the money right away." The old man gritted his teeth and decided to treat it.

Bai Dalu got anxious when he heard this: "Dad, where do we have the money?"

I have no children, and most of the money I have saved over the years has been spent on my eldest brother's two sons. I originally thought that if the two brothers could become officials, I could also benefit from them. But now it seems that it will be difficult for them to even pass the exam to become a scholar, let alone become an official.

"Yes! Dad, we don't have any money now!" Cuihong's face immediately turned dark when she heard that they had to spend so much money on a gambler. She also had a son, why didn't they support their son's education? If she and Bai Dashou had a son in the future, with the way they spent the money now, there would be nothing left for her son in this family.

"You have to pay even if you can't afford it. It will end after the New Year. If you don't treat it, the money you spent on studying all these years will be wasted!"

The old man took a long puff of his pipe and continued, "Let's sell the land! Dafu, go find the village chief and borrow some money first, then pay him back after the land is sold."

Bai Dafu also felt sorry for the land, but because the money was for his son's medical treatment, he obediently did as he was told, lowered his head and walked quickly to the village chief's house.

On the contrary, when Cuihong heard that the land was going to be sold, she shouted in surprise: "Dad! How can we sell the land!"

After saying that, he reached out and pulled Bai Dashou, signaling him to give him some advice. After all, his family also had a share of the land, so how could he rely on the eldest family for everything? He would suffer a great loss.

But how could Bai Dashou, with such a temper, help her? He just lowered his head silently, not daring to look at her, which made Cuihong so angry that she pinched him hard.

"That's right! What will we eat if we sell the land?" This time even Bai Baozhu had an opinion.

I have spent all the dowry I had saved on them, and now they want to sell the land. I am not young anymore, and my two nephews may not pass the exam. If they fail, let alone benefiting from it, I am afraid that I will not be able to get back the dowry I had given before.

"Dad, please count it, a total of ten taels. I have told the village chief, you can go to him later and tell him to sell the land." Bai Dafu ran back panting and handed over the silver he had just borrowed.

Without saying much, the old man Bai handed the money to Doctor Tian who was sitting next to him, and politely sent him out. After taking a few long puffs of his pipe outside the door, he entered the house and saw that the whole family had dark faces, obviously dissatisfied. After a moment of silence, he said with a straight face: "This is the last time. If you can't pass the high school entrance exam after the New Year, come back to work. My Bai family doesn't support idle people."

Cuihong felt much more comfortable now. After all, she would have children in the future. It would be better if the eldest son did not go to school. She could let her own son go to school then. It was impossible for all the good things in the family to be given to the eldest son!

Bai Gao, who had just woken up, started to panic. Going home to work would mean that his family would no longer support him. He didn't want to be a peasant; he wanted to be an official.

Bai Dafu and Shen's eyes widened. If they didn't let their son study, how could he pass the imperial examination? In fact, their son was their own. The couple knew that their son liked to gamble, but they never thought that he would gamble to the point of having his hands chopped off. What would they say if their parents asked about it later?
