Chapter 146 Plan to Split the Family 2
This matter must not be known to the Third Uncle. No matter what, the Third Uncle does not want to split up the family. Although grandparents treat them badly, they are still okay with the Third Uncle. After all, he is their biological son.
Li Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided that since Li Laosi was not at home now, there was no need to worry about Jiang, the only concern was Old Man Li and Old Lady Li.
If you want to agree to split the family, you have to grasp their lifeblood. What is their lifeblood? In the eyes of the Li family, it is only money.
Just as I discussed with Su what to do, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.
Li Xiaoxiao went to open the door confidently, and saw Old Lady Li outside the door with a sullen face, staring at Li Xiaoxiao with an unfriendly look.
"I was wondering who was coming here in such a grand manner in a carriage. I thought it was Su's mistress outside who came home." Old Mrs. Li saw Li Xiaoxiao as soon as she entered the house. The third child was still kneeling in the room. She didn't expect that Daya, that damn girl, actually called her here. This was really to make things difficult for her.
As soon as these words came out, Su, who was originally half leaning on the bed, had a pale face and suddenly started coughing violently. While coughing, she explained: "Mom, I didn't."
"Grandma, I know you don't like me. I'll leave right away. But Third Aunt is seriously ill and must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise her life will be in danger." Li Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear the sarcasm in her words.
"She hasn't laid an egg in so many years, and she still wants to call a doctor. Is she worthy of it?" Old Mrs. Li curled her lips in disdain and looked at Sun behind Li Xiaoxiao.
Receiving the gaze of Old Lady Li, Sun unconsciously hid behind Li Xiaoxiao again, hoping that Old Lady Li did not see her.
How could Old Lady Li do as she wished? "Sun, now that you have opened a shop in the county, you don't even take me, an old lady, seriously. You really think you are so powerful. Don't forget who bought you from the hands of a human trafficker. Without me, you wouldn't be able to have the good life you have today."
"Mom." Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Sun had no choice but to walk out from behind Li Xiaoxiao and called out softly.
"Now that you have come to my Li family, you have to let me come to see you specially. From now on, the Li family will let you be the head of the family." Seeing that she was very angry, Old Mrs. Li thought of the last time she went to the city to compensate Li Xiaoxiao with eighty cents.
She wanted to go up and slap her twice, but she didn't dare. Li Xiaoxiao was watching from the side, so she could only take advantage of her with words.
"Grandma, you don't have to be so pushy. If Third Aunt wasn't sick, I wouldn't have come to your house to make things uncomfortable. Let me make it short. Third Aunt's illness is very serious and it's coming on violently. She must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise she won't be able to hold on for long."
"As for Third Aunt's illness, to cure it, we need the best hundred-year-old ginseng and hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Grind them into powder and mix them with the medicine together and take them. Only then can she recover." Li Xiaoxiao told Old Lady Li about Sun's illness.
When Old Lady Li heard this, she immediately got furious. How could someone like Su be worthy of eating hundred-year-old ginseng and hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum? What kind of daydreaming was that? Those things were so precious. How much silver would they cost?
"We have no money at home. You know medical skills, so you can see her." With great difficulty, his eldest son became the county magistrate and brought one hundred taels of silver to the family. She herself had not yet enjoyed it, so how could she possibly treat Su's illness?
"I am treating Aunt San right now. I only know how to treat illnesses, but I can't make medicinal herbs."
At this time, Li Laosan heard the noise and came in from outside. When he saw Li Xiaoxiao and Sun in the room, he was startled. He looked at Daya beside him and realized that it was Daya who called them here.
When Su just fell into a coma, old man Li and old lady Li didn't let them go to call a doctor, so Daya suggested to call Li Xiaoxiao, saying that she knew medical skills. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
I heard their voices at the door. I didn't expect that Su was so seriously ill and life-threatening. As soon as I entered the room, I looked at Su lying on the bed.
I saw Su lying on the edge of the bed, her face full of tear marks, her complexion was sallow and she looked haggard. Seeing her at this moment, I thought of the time when she just got married, when Su was sixteen or seventeen years old.
She had a pretty appearance, spoke softly and considerately, and always had a smile on her face. However, he didn't know since when, he rarely saw Su smile.
He has been working as a farmhand outside these years and has limited time at home every year, so he ignored the changes in Su. Looking at her appearance today, he felt heartbroken. He thought he had not taken good care of her.
Meeting Li Laosan's gaze, Su couldn't stop her tears from flowing. Thinking of the beatings she received from Old Lady Li a few days ago and the endless work she had to do day and night, Su wanted to die. But if she died, what would happen to her two children?
"Uncle San, you're here just in time. Aunt San's condition is very serious. If she's not treated in time, she will die. Then we can just prepare for her funeral."
Li Xiaoxiao had a very vague impression of his third uncle. He worked away from home all year round and they met seldom. His complexion and skin looked very dark, and his body was stronger than his other three brothers.
He has a simple and honest face and looks like an honest man. How could he not be honest? He worked for a year and handed over all his wages without keeping a penny, and he never complained.
Hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, the honest man's face suddenly became flustered. He and Su had been married for many years and had a deep relationship. Except for the last time when his mother beat Su, the two had never had a quarrel.
"Xiao Xiao, I just heard you say you wanted 100-year-old ginseng and 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. How much do they cost in total?"
"These two herbs are expensive and have great efficacy. They are perfect for treating Aunt San's illness, but they are also quite expensive. A total of 120 taels of silver are needed."
Li Xiaoxiao thought about the price of the medicinal materials, and at the same time glanced at Old Lady Li out of the corner of her eye. She saw that after hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Old Lady Li's breathing became heavier, and she was obviously very angry again.
"So much silver?" Li Laosan widened his eyes in surprise, and looked at Su. Daya had already helped her mother lie back on the bed. She had a painful look on her face, her eyes were closed, and she coughed from time to time.
"Bah! Her body is so precious, yet she has to spend 120 taels of silver to treat her. How can she be so shameless? Does she want to drag down our Li family?"
Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she started cursing. Fortunately, Mrs. Su was lying on the bed at that time, otherwise, according to Old Mrs. Li's temper, she would have to scratch her a few times to relieve her anger.
"Mother, please let Su take a look. The child cannot live without a mother." Li Laosan hesitated for a long time, then knelt down in front of Old Lady Li and begged bitterly.
"What are you doing, Lao San? Didn't you hear me? Li Xiaoxiao said one hundred and twenty taels, not twelve taels. How could our family have so much money to pay for her medical treatment?" Old Mrs. Li slapped Li Lao San on the head.
