Chapter 237: The Red-faced Masked Uncle
Had they driven Doctor Zhang away in anger?
Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan suspiciously again and asked worriedly, “boss, are you really okay?”
Jiang Zhennan could not take it anymore. He blushed and replied again, “I’m really fine. Didn’t Doctor Zhang and Miss Yue ‘Er say that I’m fine?”
Guo Bing did not doubt Doctor Zhang’s medical skills. After all, in this world, other than the divine Doctor Wu Yazi, the medical Saint, Zhang Zhongjing’s medical skills were the most brilliant.
Since Doctor Zhang was so sure that the boss was fine, then he must be fine.
However, the boss was really strange. Why was he holding his chest for no reason?
...
After eating and drinking, they chatted, looked at the moon in the sky, and counted the stars.
On the same night, the news that Lin Yuelan had sold thousand-year-old ginseng for a thousand taels of silver spread throughout the village.
...
“Mother, have you heard?” During dinner, Zhou Guixiang looked at the two vegetarian dishes on the table, and her eyes darkened. Then, she turned her eyes and immediately asked Li Cuihua in a low voice.
Li Cuihua’s originally dark face became even darker after being interrupted. She glared at her second daughter-in-law, Zhou Guixiang, and scolded loudly, “Don’t talk in riddles. What is it?”
Recently, Lin Laosan’s family had been in a mess.
Lin Daniu and Lin Siniu’s wife, Liu Juhua, were caught having an affair. Lin Daniu’s wife, Li Hehua, and Liu Juhua started fighting on the spot.
Li Hehua was pushed down by Liu Juhua and had her leg broken. Liu Juhua’s face was also scratched and disfigured by Li Hehua. Lin Siniu was angry at Lin Daniu, but Lin Daniu was the eldest child, so he didn’t care. This made Lin Siniu hate him even more.
What made Lin Siniu angriest was that it was Lin Daniu who slept with his wife, but his parents scolded him for not looking after his wife for her to seduce Lin Daniu.
As for Li Cuihua, she wanted Lin Siniu to divorce Liu Juhua and then have her drown in the river.
However, Lin Siniu stopped her. In fact, he threatened to break up all ties with them. He demanded from them the family land. Not one Mu would be taken away from him. Otherwise, he would go to the town and promote that the father of the future scholar was a lecher who had raped his sister-in-law.
Then, he’d see who would have more to lose.
As long as the family’s reputation was tainted, even if Lin Dazong passed the Imperial examinations, he couldn’t become an official. This was Lin Daniu’s fault, so Lin Siniu didn’t feel guilty.
Lin Siniu’s threatening words caused Lin Laosan, Li Cuihua, and the rest to turn pale with fright.
“Lin Siniu, you turn on your family once you marry a wife. To think that you even dare to threaten your parents.” Li Cuihua was so angry that she was out of breath. However, she still couldn’t get too angry at her own son. So she turned to channel her anger at Liu Juhua, “You bitch, you jinx, you’re the reason why this is happening.”
Liu Juhua didn’t back down. She scolded back. “This is your son. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself.”
Then, Li Hehua asked for money to treat her legs, but Li Cuihua refused to give it. Without money, she couldn’t see a doctor. Li Hehua was in pain every day. She was angry at Li Cuihua and the others.
Also, from that day onwards, Lin Siniu stopped paying his mother his salary. However, he still brought his wife to the main house to eat every day. Li Cuihua was furious and started scolding Liu Juhua.
The Lin family did not have a moment of peace.
The Lin family’s second son and daughter-in-law were like invisible people, like outsiders watching the show and not watching the fun. But from time to time, they would incite some conflicts here and there to reap the benefits.
However, when they heard that Lin Yuelan had received a large sum of money, they immediately stopped their small antics and began to think about getting Lin Yuelan’s money again.
Zhou Guixiang was furious after being scolded by Li Cuihua. She grabbed her chopsticks with one hand and placed her other hand under the table. She grabbed her thigh and cursed in her heart, ‘Damn old woman, just you wait!’
