Chapter 113 Twenty-two, so many

Xu Laoer's eyebrows moved, "Is it really a branch of the Jin family of miracle doctors? How come I haven't heard of it before?"

"My dad said that people keep a low profile and don't want to be famous. You know, the legendary Jin family's miracle doctors are all like this..."

Xu Laoer felt hope rising in his heart for no apparent reason.

Erya was young and had never heard of the rumors of Jin's Miracle Doctor, and she said angrily, "How can there be such an excessive thing? Do you have to charge a consultation fee regardless of whether the treatment can be cured or not?"

Shiro said, "If dad's injury can really be cured, it doesn't matter if he has a weird temper. Maybe he is a really capable doctor who would make such an unreasonable request? Mom, how much money will the doctor charge for the consultation?"

Only Xu Laoer was calm on the surface, but he was already getting excited inside.

When Shiro asked about the money for medical visits, Yuanshi pursed her lips. It was too much and she was a little embarrassed to talk about it.

"My father said that the average person's price is thirty taels, but he and the doctor had a small friendship in the past and could negotiate the price to twenty taels. As long as he raised twenty taels of silver, my father would ask the golden doctor to come to his home for treatment...

"

Erya exclaimed, "Twenty taels, so much!!!"

It's too much!

This is still the consultation fee. What if I need to take medicine or something...

Yuanshi looked at Xu Laoer and said, "Second brother, do you think you can give it a try? We all hope that you will get better. The children and I can't do it without you. Second brother, you are strong and you have suffered this."

I'm not willing to accept this misfortune, second brother! My father really means well. He said he could cure you, and he could also feel less guilty."

Xu Laoer's heart was surging, but his face remained stable, "Currently, our family can't afford twenty taels, let's wait until eldest brother comes back."

Yuanshi wiped her tears and said, "Second brother, my sister said that after a person's body is injured, there is a golden recovery period. The sooner you recover, the better. You can't delay it. If you delay it, your body muscles will atrophy.

Even if a god came to treat it at that time, it might not be cured. Besides, I don’t think I can hope for it from my eldest brother. Our father went there many times to write letters, but there was no reply. This morning, my fourth brother went to the county seat again.

I went to find someone in person, but it’s already dark and I haven’t returned home yet. I’m afraid I can’t count on my eldest brother..."

When it comes to Boss Xu's question, Second Boss Xu is silent again.

Several children also spoke one after another.

Shiro said, "I think there may be some difficulties on my uncle's side..."

"What's the difficulty? Anyway, I've lived so long, and I've seen my eldest uncle take things from home all the time, and never bring anything good home." Erya said.

Sanya added in a low voice, "I also brought something. I brought some snacks and other things to my grandparents before."

"Bah! Is that a good thing? How much is it worth?"

Several children began to argue quietly.

Xu Laoer said, "If the eldest brother can't do anything, then there really is no way."

The little hope that finally came up was abandoned because of the money matter.

Yuanshi whispered, "Second brother, there is still a way. Didn't fourth brother say that we will separate the families..."

The sound was very small, but everyone in the second room could hear it. At first, they were disgusted when they heard it. Later, Yuanshi explained and encouraged...

Gradually the opposition voices became smaller.

The next day, early in the morning.

Liao Qing came over as promised, while Xu Jiaojiao was still lying on the bed unable to move.

Last night, after she had processed all the tiger bones and skins, she fell asleep.

I am really too tired.

When Liao Qing came over in the morning, Xu Jiaojiao still felt pain all over her body.

Mrs. Xu Zhang woke Xu Jiaojiao up from bed, brought her delicious food, and then counted all the older children in the family.

Erlang, Erya, Sanya, Sanlang, and Silang were all sent to follow Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing up the mountain to help.

It is useful when there are many people, there is a wild boar to drag, and the body of a big tiger.

Xu Jiaojiao took them to the mountains.

After entering the mountain, the prey is still there.

Xu Jiaojiao was afraid that the visiting doctor secretly called someone to steal it in the middle of the night yesterday. Fortunately, she thought too much.

When we arrived at our destination with a few children, when we saw the skinned tiger body, we didn’t even guess what it was at first. Later we heard it was a tiger, and they all screamed in fright and circled around.

several laps

When people work together, there is strength in numbers.

It didn't take much effort to bring the wild boar and tiger to the town for the morning market.

There was also a stir at the morning assembly!

A big wild boar would usually be watched by people for a while during the morning market, let alone a tiger!

Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing also took out the tiger skins and sold them...

It alarmed many people, who came to inquire about the price and watch the excitement. In the end, the largest trading house in the market took it away, including the skin and body.

After negotiating a business deal at the teahouse, the person in charge of the trading firm gave Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao a price of one hundred taels of silver.

This price is not low even for a rural town.

To kill the tiger, the main combat firepower was actually Liao Qing. Liao Qing was also more seriously injured than Xu Jiaojiao, so he deserved more than half of the money.

Then, Xu Jiaojiao took the more valuable tiger bones yesterday and agreed on how much the tiger bones would be sold for today, but she didn't want them.

I didn't expect it to be sold for so much money!

One hundred taels.

Of course, tiger skins are priceless treasures in modern times, and even millions of pieces are rare.

In this era, tigers were not as rare as they are now. As protected animals, tiger skins were not as valuable.



After leaving the teahouse, Xu Jiaojiao looked at Liao Qing, touched her face, and said softly, "Well, Brother Liao..."

Liao Qing's legs and feet felt weak and she almost stumbled while walking.

He looked at her with a straight face and said, "Speak nicely."

Xu Jiaojiao coughed lightly, "Brother Qing..."

Liao Qinghei turned around and left.

Xu Jiaojiao chased after him for two steps, dragged Liao Qing's sleeve, and accidentally touched Liao Qing's wound. Liao Qing's eyebrows jumped in pain.

"Water Ghost, if you have anything to say, speak directly."

"Liao Qing! Don't go too far!" As soon as Xu Jiaojiao said this, she quickly softened her words. She had no choice, whoever has the money is the boss now.

"I want to borrow some money from you to help my second brother continue to treat his injuries. When our family has money, we will pay it back to you, or I can make loquat ointment and pay it back to you next year, which is a hundred taels. Anyway, you are not in a hurry to use it. You

There is no need to marry a wife or anything, can you lend me fifty or sixty taels to help the Jianghu..."

She didn't expect it to be sold for so much money yesterday.

With so much money right in front of her, she couldn't afford not to make up her mind.

The family is so short of money that Xu Zhang's hair has turned gray because of money these days.

For a few taels of silver, Lao Yuan's family brought a group of people to Lao Xu's house to fight.
