Chapter 15
What a Deep Scheme!
“Mother, the effect of that wild ginseng might not be good. Why don’t we go to the mountains to find other alternatives? If we can’t find ginseng on the mountain, we can buy some chicklings for our father. It probably has the same effect as wild ginseng and can save a lot of money.” Jiang Er said as she looked at Yang Fen after a moment of silence.
Jiang Xi’s engagement had been broken off three times, and Yang Fen had received money from the three broken-off marriages, so it was a total of 50000 yuan. Speaking of which, the families who had been engaged to Jiang Xi had all made a lot of money. He wondered if his sister was lucky or not. Of the 50,000 Yuan, Jiang Da had spent about 20000 yuan on his wedding, and 10,000 yuan on his sister-in-law’s medical treatment. Jiang Qi thought that he could still get himself a wife with the remaining money if he saved it. It would be great if his younger sister, Jiang Xi, could have her engagement canceled again. He would have enough money.
“Father is sick, so of course, we have to give him the best. Our family’s money is all earned by our father, so it’s only right to spend money on his treatment.” Jiang Shan was an honest man from the countryside, and he was very loyal. Jiang Da did not say anything. He was the only one who had a wife among his brothers, and his wife had to spend money every month. He felt guilty no matter what he said. In the end, he could only say, “I’ll let mother decide.”
Yang Fen clenched the pocket with the money in it. Her tears stopped falling, but her attitude was hesitant. Obviously, she was thinking about whether her son or her husband was reliable!
“Doctor Cao, will my husband recover after using this wild ginseng? Can he continue working?” Yang Fen was so nervous that her voice was trembling. Doctor Cao lowered his eyes and did not look at her. “He will limp a bit. It’ll be very difficult to recover his previous appearance.” In fact, it was not only difficult but also difficult to get a job in the future. Jiang Guoyou only knew how to work his entire life to earn money to support his family. Thus, Doctor Cao wanted to save him.
“My husband has been working hard for his children for his entire life...” Yang Fen sighed and said while wiping her tears. Jiang Xi glanced at Yang Fen and was a little surprised that Yang Fen would choose to save Jiang Guoyou in the end. It was not like her character!
However, Yang Fen’s next sentence was, “Now that our children are all grown up, my husband can also rest assured. In my husband’s heart, I guess he also puts his children first. He hopes that the children can live well. Now the family is short of money...”
Jiang Xi was dumbfounded! She knew it! How could Yang Fen spend money to treat Jiang Guoyou? She was suppressing him first then praising him! Yang Fen’s scheme was really deep!
“Treat my father. Give him the best treatment!” A clear voice came from outside the door. Everyone turned around and saw Jiang Si, dressed in blue, walking in with his good friend, He Tongwen, behind him. He Tongwen nodded slightly at Jiang Xi and then quickly looked away.
“We can’t let father suffer no matter how poor we are! I must treat father!” Jiang Si’s expression was a little embarrassed and annoyed. His classmate He Tongwen had heard his mother’s words just now, which was really embarrassing! He Tongwen, on the other hand, had an expression that expressed that this was the Jiang family’s business and had nothing to do with him.
However, Jiang Er said to Jiang Si coldly, “Cure? Who wouldn’t want to treat our father? But where would the money come from? Big brother has married a wife, and you have a bright future, fourth brother. However, what about me and Jiang Shan? If we can’t find a wife, how can we raise our heads in the village?” As he spoke, Jiang Er snorted. Jiang Shan was younger than him and was not in a hurry to get married, but he could not. He did not want to be laughed at by the people in the village.
“Didn’t Jiang Xi receive a sum of money when the engagement was called off last time? We’ll just let mother decide to pay for father’s treatment. As children, how can we watch our father be tortured by his illness?” Jiang Si spoke righteously. It was unknown if he really wanted to treat Jiang Guoyou or if he did not want to have a bad reputation for not treating his father due to the presence of his classmates.
Yang Fen had always doted on Jiang Si. Although she hesitated, she did not resist Jiang Si’s words. On the other hand, Jiang Da’s face darkened. He stared at the ground and seemed to be thinking about something. Then he suddenly looked at Jiang Xi with an unfriendly gaze.
When Jiang Si came to the clinic, not only did he agree to treat Jiang Guoyou, but he also asked Yang Fen for 2,000 yuan, saying that he wanted to buy books or something. He also wanted to participate in outdoor activities with his classmates and exchange their reading experiences.
