"Mei'er, if it doesn't work out, I'll risk my life and borrow some money from my third brother. No matter what, we have to take Dabai to the county hospital to have a look. It's not good for the child to be left like this. What do you think?

Isn’t that right?”

Under Wang Hongquan's constant glances, Wang Shuanzi couldn't help but cautiously discuss with Yang Huamei.

"I don't want you to come forward, I'll borrow it..." he added.

Yang Huamei smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter whether you borrow it or I borrow it, isn't it all a waste of my friendship with my mother's family? Is there a difference?"

Wang Shuanzi stopped talking.

Wang Hongquan gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go find Shuanzi's two sisters and ask them to help us think of ways to scrape together two taels of silver no matter what. We still have a pig weighing a hundred pounds in our backyard."

, I think I can sell it for one tael of silver later, so I asked the Sun family to take the pig away, no matter what, we fryers and sell iron will have to treat Dabai's legs!"

After saying these words, Wang Hongquan stood up and went out with his hands behind his back.

…

On the same day, Da Sun and Xiao Jie's father came over and took away the pigs from Wang Hong's family's backyard.

The pigs were killed at midnight, and at dawn, fresh pork was placed on the chopping board in the pork shed at the entrance of the village.

The Da Sun family sent fresh tube bones and pork belly to Yang Huazhong's house.

"This tube bone is for my in-laws to stew in soup. It's good for the legs. The pork belly is for you to add to the dish. There are also two kilograms of tenderloin. I'll give you half a kilogram. I have to send the other half kilogram to the Luo family for the baby."

In the hall, the eldest Sun was talking to Yang Huazhong and Sun.

Both Yang Huazhong and Sun were extremely grateful to Sun.

Sun said: "The third child was worrying about what to cook for his father today. Unexpectedly, sister, you sent me the tube bones. This is really good. There is also tenderloin. The children like to eat it.

Sister, you are interested."

Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Last night, Lao Wang's family hurriedly sent a pig over. The pig is not very big, weighing less than a hundred pounds, otherwise there would be more spine meat here."

"Originally we didn't plan to accept the pig. We couldn't make much money by killing a hundred-jin pig and selling it for meat. But the old Wang family insisted on giving the pig to us. We had no choice. Seeing that we were related to each other, we had no choice but to accept it.

I gave them a tael of silver, so we will probably only earn a hundred dollars on this trip if we are exhausted!"

"Lao Wang's family? Which Lao Wang's family?" Yang Huazhong was stunned for a moment and asked.

Da Sun said: "Which old Wang family can there be? Of course it is the old Wang family that your sister married, Wang Hongquan!"

This time, Yang Huazhong was even more surprised.

"I remember the pig they had. They were piglets they caught last fall. How come they have to be slaughtered after raising them for more than half a year? You shouldn't!"

According to the farmers' rules, the pigs have to be raised to a hundred, dozens of kilograms, or even two hundred kilograms before being sold, and the butchers also like to harvest big fat pigs, which make a lot of money.

Mrs. Sun really did accept it for the sake of family ties!

"Why are their families so anxious to sell their pigs? Is there something wrong? Sister, have you asked?" Yang Huazhong asked again.

Da Sun said: "I didn't ask, but their family seems to be in a hurry for money. According to the rules, the money for the pig must wait until we sell the pork before we can settle the settlement, but Lao Wangtou is so brave with us.

The money has been paid in advance.”

Yang Huazhong frowned.

Sun asked: "Could it be because of Dabai?"

One word awakened Yang Huazhong.

"It's very possible. Maybe they want Dabai to go to the county town with us to have his leg treated!"

At night, both Dabai and Xiaohei fell asleep. Under the dim soybean oil lamp in the main room, Wang Hongquan, Wang Shuanzi and Yang Huamei gathered together and counted the money.

All the current assets of Lao Wang's family, including the money he embezzled from his two sisters, are all on this table.

"Shuanzi, have you counted them clearly? How many are there?" Wang Hongquan asked Wang Shuanzi eagerly.

Wang Shuanzi raised his head and said, "Dad, the total is three taels of silver plus four hundred and thirty-one coins."

Wang Hongquan said: "Isn't it a good idea to go to the county hospital?"

Wang Shuanzi thought for a while and said: "If we just grab some medicine and come back, including the expenses on the road and accommodation money, it should be enough. If we want to stay there, the money can only last four or five days at most."

Wang Hongquan is in some trouble...

"Is Meier in the house?"

Yang Huazhong's voice suddenly came from the yard outside.

"here I am!"

Yang Huamei responded, quickly opened the door and welcomed Yang Huazhong in.

"Third brother, why are you here this late at night?" she asked, blocking the table behind her with her back, not wanting Yang Huazhong to see what they were doing.

Yang Huazhong said: "I just wanted to come over and ask you. On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, your fifth brother and I are going to send our father to the county town to have a look at his legs. Do you want to take Dabai with you to have a look?"

Yang Huamei's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Third brother, we also have this intention..."

Yang Huazhong grinned, "That will work."

He immediately took out five taels of silver and put it into Yang Huamei's hand, "Put this money away!"

Yang Huamei was stunned.

"Third brother, what are you..."

Yang Huazhong said: "Don't misunderstand, this is not what third brother gave you, it is what you deserve in the first place."

"ah?"

Yang Huamei was surprised and turned to look at Wang Hongquan and Wang Shuanzi behind her.

The father and son of the Wang family also heard what was going on here. They all gathered around and were shocked to see the five taels of silver in Yang Huamei's hand.

Yang Huazhong explained with a smile: "On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, dad summoned us all to raise money for you. At that time, Yongxian took out a pair of silver bracelets. Later, dad secretly took the silver bracelets and gave them back to Yongxian.

Yongxian doesn’t know about it at all.”

"Yongxian thought that it would be inconvenient for you to buy and sell the silver bracelets directly, so he made a plan with me and sold the silver bracelets. It would be better to just send the silver bracelets here. You should collect them quickly!"

After hearing Yang Huazhong's explanation, Wang Hongquan and his son were surprised and happy.

Yang Huamei was so moved that she cried.

After Yang Huazhong left, Wang Hongquan sighed: "Mei'er, your natal family is really giving us timely help. Now we can afford to treat Dabai's leg!"

Wang Shuanzi also looked moved and nodded repeatedly.

Yang Huamei put away her tears and said to Wang Hongquan and Wang Shuanzi: "This time I go to the county town, I don't plan to take all my belongings with me, just five taels of silver. If the doctor says that I can recover, I will send a message to you to bring home

I sent him more than three taels of silver."

"If the doctor says it can't be cured and you still have lameness, I won't waste the money!"

Wang Hongquan and Wang Shuanzi looked at each other, unable to understand what Yang Huamei was doing.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to sell the pot and sell the iron. We now have more than eight taels of silver on hand, why don't we work hard to treat it?" Wang Hongquan asked.
