Chapter 396 The Early Bird Catches the Worm

"There are only three taels of silver left in the family. Based on the price that Doctor Lu gave you in the past, these three taels of silver are not enough. Even if Doctor Lu raises his hand this time and only accepts three taels, then our family will be impoverished, not to mention Xiaofeng. The tuition fees for next year are gone, and I don’t even know how to spend this winter.”

The more old lady Bai said, the more angry she became, and her voice rose a few degrees: "Dazhu, what do you say for your mother?"

The son in front of her turned out to be such a useless person. She didn't feel it at all before, and it was only today that she woke up.

In the past, the Bai family had a good life, and that was because Zhao Lan was there. Since Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi left, this family has not had a good life.

It was only one day after the family was separated, and he broke his hand again. The food for the winter was also soaked in soup, and the only remaining family property had to be taken out to treat his wounds, but he did not feel any guilt, but looked at himself. Of course, the vicious look was facing her.

How can Bai Dazhu care about the future? He just wants to heal his hands now, but he doesn't want to become disabled. The future will be discussed later. As long as people live, are they afraid that there is no way to survive?

"What should I do? Of course, find a doctor for me first, and put everything aside. It's important to treat my injuries first. If I am disabled, will you have a good life? The money is gone, and you can make more money. If my hand is gone, you will starve to death!"

It's easy to say, the money is gone, and the more you earn, has Bai Dazhu ever earned a coin in his life?

The old lady doesn't want to say more, it's useless to say more, this hand must be treated after all, after all, it is her own son, Xiaofeng's father, and her support for the old age, she has no more sons to replace.

She sighed, turned around and went into the room. After a while, she came out with three taels of silver in her hand, one of which was still in pieces, and she stuffed the three taels into Liu's hands. , "Go ask Dr. Lu, and have a few more good words with him, the villagers, let him calculate less money, that's all we have, he can't just die for a coin or two!"

When Liu received the money, she was both happy and worried. She was happy that her husband was saved, but worried about what to do in the future.

Erzhu returned to the house and drank the rest of the fish soup.

White Pearl sat under the window, looking at the cloudy sky outside, her eyes full of gloom.

Mrs. Zhang put the bowl with the thin white fish meat in front of her and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"

Bai Zhenzhu returned to her senses and sighed, "I didn't think of anything." She took the chopsticks handed by her mother and put a piece of fish in her mouth. The delicious taste immediately dispelled a lot of melancholy, "Mother, this fish is really good. fresh."

Seeing that her daughter was eating deliciously, Mrs. Zhang also smiled: "Eat more slowly, and there's more."

Fugui, who was on the side, swallowed the fish soup in his mouth, and said with satisfaction: "Father, mother, it would be great if we could eat fish every day!"

Zhang Shi laughed and scolded: "You greedy mouth, it's beautiful to think about it, the river at the entrance of our village is deep and fast, and there are a lot of fish in it, but not everyone can catch them. Your father is lucky today. I picked up a few for nothing."

Bai Erzhu continued with a smile, "In our village, we often heard that someone picked up fish. I didn't believe it at first. Why can they pick up fish, but I can't? Now I finally understand."

Zhang Shi smiled and asked, "Do you understand?"

Bai Erzhu laughed and said, "As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and the one who gets up early can catch up with this trip. If I go later today, isn't this fish owned by someone else?"
