Chapter 50 The Money Is Gone

"Dad, why are you here?"

As soon as Su Qingyu walked into the courtyard, she saw Su's father walking towards her.

"Hey. Something happened."

Su Qingnao led Su's father to the main room where guests were entertained. Seeing his sad face, she poured him a cup of tea: "Dad, drink some tea first to moisten your mouth."

"Hey, okay."

"Dad, did something happen at home?"

Father Su's face was filled with sadness. He put the cup on the table and shook his head: "There's nothing wrong at home. It's your aunt."

"My aunt? What's wrong? Dad, have you visited her house?"

When Su Qingyu got married, Aunt Su's family only asked people to send gifts, but no one came. Father Su was a little worried. When Su Youwen got married and his family didn't come, I wanted to take a look. Due to various reasons, I couldn't go. I didn't go to Su Youwen's house until I saw her off.

Only then did I know something had really happened.

My eldest uncle was crushed by a boulder in the stone field, and one of his legs was bruised and broken.

"Ah, how did you do this? How are you doing?"

"He woke up, but his internal organs were pressed. Now he can't even breathe. He bleeds when he coughs. One of his legs is also broken. Your aunt sold all five acres of land at home and borrowed some from your eldest cousin's mother-in-law's family. , bought wild ginseng to die, but now he is awake, but he has no money to treat his legs. Your uncle insists on asking your aunt to take him home, saying that he can’t be cured in the hospital for one tael a day, and the whole family is here. The county still needs food and drink..."

Su Qingyu sighed, it was the same in ancient and modern times, poor people couldn't afford medical treatment.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that internal injuries can be cured after a few months of treatment, but if the leg is not cured, he said that once the meridians are necrotic, it will have to be cut off. He said that if cured, even though it cannot be cured, at least the leg can be revived and it will be lame. It can be used.”

Su Qingyu nodded, it would be inconvenient to cut it off. Even if it is lame, it can still walk and run on both legs.

"Uncle refuses to treat me?"

Father Su shook his head: "He said that the family had no money and refused to treat him. Everything that should be sold was sold, except for the few mud and thatched huts, which were worthless and no one wanted them. Your uncle felt sorry for Qian Qian and asked the doctor to amputate his legs... "

"If it can be cured, it must be cured." In a farmhouse, it is inconvenient to do anything without a leg.

"Dad also advised him the same way, and your aunt and cousin also talked about treatment. But they have already borrowed the money, and it is not enough. Dad can't bear to see your uncle half-dead... Your aunt has lived a miserable life. , your biological mother died a long time ago, she took care of everything by herself, and her father was the one who raised her. Your stepmother married her into a mountain family with few acres of land, and they didn’t even have an acre of land, so they depended on others in the quarry. Working to support the family..."

"Your cousin was drafted into the army the year before last, and last year your cousin-in-law also abandoned the child and ran away... Your cousin has not gotten married yet, and they have cultivated five acres of wasteland, which is only enough to feed the family. There’s not even a bit left…”

Su Qingyu was silent and said, "There was an accident at the quarry. Didn't the quarry pay compensation?"

Su's father was a little angry after hearing this: "No compensation at all! He also said that your uncle chipped a good piece of stone and asked your uncle to pay for it! Fortunately, your uncle's workers helped to speak up, so the employer said that he would not pay compensation, but Also fired your uncle.

Su Qingyu let out a long sigh. Since ancient times, her thin arms could not twist her thighs.

Su's father saw Su Qingyu frowning and not saying anything, and he didn't know how to speak.

"Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Su's father was a little embarrassed to say: "That's right, dad came here today because he wanted you to ask your father-in-law to see if you can borrow some money from him. Seeing your uncle lying on the bed with a dead look on his face, Dad is really heartbroken."

"Dad originally didn't plan to come to you, so you just got married. Now that the son-in-law has left, I don't want you to look at their faces. However, your aunt is too pitiful. She has never enjoyed a single day of happiness..."

Father Su's eyes turned red as he spoke.

"I went to see your second aunt. I originally thought that she married well, and her husband's family has farmland and a shop, so I could lend you some money to your aunt, but she said that the shop needs funds to turn around, and she didn't have much, so she just borrowed it. One or two.”

This second aunt is also amazing.

Sure enough, it didn't come from a mother's womb, so she couldn't feel the same way as her father.

"Dad, wait for me here for a while."

Su Qingyu turned around and went back to her room. I took fifty taels of silver notes and gave them to Su's father.

"Dad, take these fifty taels and give them to your aunt first, so that your uncle can treat your leg. We will slowly figure out how to pay for the rest."

Su's father looked shocked: "Here, where did you get so much money?"

"Your son-in-law saved it. Dad, please give it to your aunt. I originally wanted to use the money to start a small business. I have already scouted the shop. Now that my aunt wants to use it, I will lend it to my uncle for leg treatment first."

Su's father looked at the bank note blankly: "This is so much. Originally, my father only planned to borrow ten taels and twenty taels from my father-in-law, but your father secretly gave me two taels at home. Now that he has all this money, your uncle also The leg can be cured, but no matter what, we have to let him save the leg."

Su Qingyu nodded: "Well, dad, you go ahead. Do you want me to come with you?"

Father Su shook his head: "Dad can go alone. It's not easy for you as a newlywed daughter-in-law to run around. In a few days, your uncle's mood will be more stable, and dad will take you to his house to visit."

"good."

Su Qingyu watched Su's father go out and let out a long sigh.

It seems that tomorrow's appointment cannot be signed.

She wants to make money more and more now. I want to earn a lot of money, otherwise I won’t be able to afford medical treatment. She didn't want to ask her grandfather to sue her grandmother if she got sick, and she went around to borrow money and looked at other people's faces.

Freedom of wealth must first solve the problem of freedom to eat and drink, then freedom to see a doctor, then freedom to buy a house and shop, and then...

The short-term goal is to solve the problem of freedom of eating, drinking and seeing a doctor, and the medium-term goal is to buy a house, a shop, a field and land.

Su Qingmei, you can do it!

Looking at the remaining ten taels of silver in her purse, Su Qingmei was depressed.

She couldn't afford the rent. She liked the shop so much. It was big and spacious, with a big backyard, a well, a house and a warehouse. Five taels was really worth it. If she trembled, it might be robbed.

Twenty taels, where can I get twenty taels?

The next day, at the agreed time, Su Qingmei showed up on time. The owner of the shop almost appeared at Ren Ya right after her.

Su Qingmei looked at the owner of the shop, a very kind-looking old man, and Su Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief. When Li Yaren took out the lease agreement, Su Qingmei pressed the agreement.

She smiled at the owner and said, "You are about the same age as my grandfather. I will call you Uncle Xie. I have some special circumstances today, and I hope you will understand."

Seeing Li Yaren and the kind-hearted Uncle Xie looking at her in confusion. Su Qing'an organized her words and said, "I am very satisfied with your shop, but I don't have enough money today..."

Li Yaren frowned, and Uncle Xie leaned back in his chair and looked at Su Qing'an: "You, young lady, are you trying to get something for nothing? If you had said earlier that you didn't have enough money, I wouldn't have to make this trip. There are many people waiting to rent, and you are not the only one."

After that, he stood up and left.

Su Qing'an quickly stood up and held him: "Thank you, sir, don't be in a hurry, just sit down and listen to me slowly, it won't take you long."

"You are not sincere, young lady."

"Sir, I am very sincere! I paid the money yesterday, and the two taels of silver!"

"Then do you want to make up for the money or not? You have paid the two taels of money, but today you say the money is not enough? Are you throwing away two taels of silver for nothing?"

After the old man finished speaking, he complained in his heart, whose wife is this, and there is no man to accompany her, is she not clear-headed?
