"The second brother and sister are filial to themselves, and I didn't ask for it. Why did the third sister say it so harshly? They are all filial to their mother. How can you ask me to plunder it? So it's my fault to say that my brothers and sisters are filial to their mother. Besides, Mr. Everyone said that Brother Xuan will definitely go to high school if he studies well, how could he give up halfway?" Sister-in-law Lu was dissatisfied and screamed bitterly.
What does she mean by searching?
She doesn't deserve this title.
There is also a son. Her son is Wen Quxing and is destined to be an official.
"I'm just trying to trick you into paying monthly tuition! Brother Xuan has been studying for so many years and has forgotten all the etiquette and filial piety. He doesn't show his filial piety by his bedside when his grandmother is critically ill. Our elders don't come here to see her either. Could it be that he reads too much and looks down on him? Are we mud-legged relatives related?" Lu Sanmei laughed, and it was obvious that she had a deep grudge against her eldest brother.
The family scandal should not be made public. The two of them argued about these unpleasant things in front of outsiders. Lu Ersao suddenly felt very ugly. Seeing that her eldest brother was just holding his head and being silent as usual, but he didn't know how to dissuade her. She couldn't help but feel anxious and wanted to dissuade him. It's a pity that her old problem has returned now. She can't stop coughing even if she says another word. She doesn't dare to open her mouth to speak anymore, so she has to cover her chest to stop the coughing.
It's not surprising that the son's reputation has been ruined in this way. The Lu family's sister-in-law explained angrily, "Brother Xuan doesn't come out. He went out to meet friends early in the morning. He is also the son of a certain official family. What do you know? Classmates and friends. The most important thing is that he will be a help in the officialdom in the future."
Listening to this, it seems that Mrs. Lu was fed a lot of chicken soup by her son.
Lu Sanmei laughed, returning to officialdom? Even though the scholar hadn't even passed the exam, he was thinking about becoming an official in the future.
What about dreaming?
Lu Da on the side felt his face turn white and turn red with anger, he covered his face in pain and squatted on the ground. He was a man who was incompetent and incompetent. He could neither earn money nor take care of his mother-in-law.
"Stop arguing, mother is still here." Lu Da roared at the top of his lungs, with a rare strength.
The old man on the bed became anxious when he heard it. He couldn't scream, and his throat was flowing like water. Sister-in-law Lu and her daughter were motionless, and even turned their heads and eyes in disgust. Sister-in-law Lu and Lu Lian had to rush forward to help. Wipe clean.
"Make Dr. Xiao laugh, please give Dr. Xiao a prescription to treat the disease." Lu Da bowed to Xiao Ming. Upon hearing this, Aunt Lu was so anxious that she pulled the man away, but was frightened by the man's stern look and flinched, and stood aside helplessly. If you dare to speak again, some people may seem honest, but if they are cruel, they will kill you.
Xiao Ming has long been accustomed to the chaos in her family. People are cold and warm, and she has no filial son in front of her bed for a long time. When she was young and raised her children, she wished she could give him all the good things. When she reaches her old age and becomes gray-haired and unable to move, How many children and future generations can give back everything?
Not everyone can start well and end well.
The elderly can go through the lonely years of their old age without anyone to accompany them, but they have to be looked at by the children and grandchildren they raised.
This look is called disgust!
Sister-in-law Lu did not dare to speak any more, so Lu Sanmei naturally fell silent, and the whole family waited calmly for Xiao Ming to write the prescription.
Not long after, Xiao Ming finished writing the prescription, stopped writing, handed the prescription to Lu Da, and explained a lot of precautions for treating stroke patients before preparing to leave. When it was time to settle the medicine money, Mrs. Lu was furious again.
"Doctor Xiao is merciful. You see, our family is not in the best condition. From now on, the old lady will need a lot of money to drink medicine every day. It's better to only give her 100 coins out of the 200 coins."
The room calmed down, and everyone looked at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming calmly looked at the silver coins handed over by the other party. He hooked the copper plate with the hemp rope with his fingers. It felt not as thick as other people's fingers.
"Wang Xiang lies on the ice, and Ci Wu feeds her back. A mother is kind and her son is filial. It is the ethical principle, and it is the children's responsibility to support their parents until they grow old. I think my aunt's family is well-off, and she is well-dressed, and her clothes are nobler than ordinary people. It is not like she is poor. People who are not filial. Although Xinglin sympathizes with the weak and poor, he is not blind and unprincipled. He always pays attention to seeing is believing." Xiao Ming said, not taking the twenty pieces of silver, but just glanced at the opponent's hand. gold ring on.
You want me to be free of medical expenses, but you don’t have the conditions!
To say you are poor, not rich, you are the richest in the eyes of the people in this room. You are dressed in cotton fabrics and gold ornaments. Next to you, Lu Sanmei is dressed in coarse cloth and has a plain silver hairpin on her head. It is the simplicity of the working people. When it comes to dressing up, Second Sister-in-Law is even more constrained than them. Her coarse clothes are still patched, but neatly stitched with a flower to cover them. They are washed clean and there are no wrinkles at the corners.
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone followed Xiao Ming's gaze and saw the golden ring on Sister-in-law Lu's hand exuding brilliant golden light. Sister-in-law Lu took her hand back and hid it uncomfortably behind her burly body, "This is just my dowry. It’s just for show.”
Her flipping action revealed the gold bracelet on her other wrist, haha! The air feels awkward.
"Sister-in-law's dowry is really large." Lu Sanmei sneered in a sinister way.
Don’t you know how much dowry your natal family will get when you settle down?
Facts speak louder than words. Carrying gold and silver jewelry to cry for poverty is the same as holding a gold rice bowl to beg for food.
"It's embarrassing, why don't you take the money?" Lu Da roared with a blushing face.
Sister-in-law Lu was unwilling to do so and said bitterly: "At the beginning of the year, Mr. Yuan went to Xinglin to get medicine on credit. Why can't we get credit? We are from the same family. Mother will have to spend money on food in the future."
Lu Da was silent again. He got credit, everyone got credit, why couldn't I? It’s so uncomfortable to be treated differently.
Worrying not about scarcity but about inequality, this is the root of the contradiction.
When Sister-in-law Lu heard this, she blushed so much that she felt a surge of anger in her heart. During the Chinese New Year, because of her illness, the family didn't even have a New Year's Eve dinner, and the drugstore wouldn't give credit for medicine. Seeing that she was dying, Yuan'er begged her sister-in-law, but she was ruthlessly rejected and refused to lend her a penny. In the end, Yuan'er begged for medicine in Xinglin and came back to save her life.
Her close brother and sister-in-law refused to save her, but Xinglin, a stranger, saved her life.
Now that the elder sister-in-law actually had the nerve to say such words, Second Sister-in-law Lu finally endured it and did not dare to say a word, silently swallowing back her tears of grievance.
Lu Sanmei couldn't see her like this. The second sister-in-law was worried about their orphans and widowers, and she was so ill. If one day she lost Brother Yuan and Lian Yatou, she would still have to rely on her eldest brother and sister-in-law!
The second sister-in-law looks forward and backward, but she is not afraid.
"Xinglin is a place to treat illnesses and save people, not a charity. Only people who can't afford food can get credit. If everyone is like my sister-in-law, how can Xinglin continue to operate? Isn't it that my sister-in-law doesn't want to treat her mother?" Lu Sanmei said with a straight eye. To be fair, Xiao Ming can do whatever he says! , you insist on finding an excuse to offend her, what good will it do to you? All dignitaries recognize it.
