"Then can we take a look at Tieniu?" The old man looked sad and blamed himself for not finding out more clearly.
"This..." The woman was obviously hesitant.
Xiao Ran was even more suspicious. It was definitely not as simple as the woman said.
"If the situation is really so bad, we will definitely not sit idly by and watch." Xiao Ran spoke in time.
After hearing this, the woman agreed.
"I'll take you there."
The two nodded, got up and followed the woman to the yard.
No one is in the house? The two were a little surprised when they saw the woman walking to a small room in the corner of the yard.
"Is he here?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised.
This simple wooden house looks shaky, how can it be lived in?
"Yes, sometimes he wakes up and yells. We are afraid that the noise will disturb his rest, so we let him live alone."
Xiao Ran looked at the woman and had a vague suspicion in his heart.
"Open the door!" The old man's voice suddenly became colder.
"Okay." The woman thought of their identities and immediately stepped forward and opened the door.
But he took a few steps back with a look of disgust.
Hearing the door open, there seemed to be some movement among the people inside.
A bad smell came out, and the old man couldn't help but frown.
After a while, the old man walked in.
It looked like there was only a simple wooden bed, a quilt, and no decent furniture.
The people above were skinny and scary looking.
"Tianniu?" The old man was a little in disbelief.
There was no movement from the person on the bed.
"What's going on?" The old man panicked instantly.
Xiao Ran stepped forward quickly and checked his breathing. He was still alive.
"Probably just fell asleep."
Mr. Chu didn't believe it at all. How could so many people here sleep so soundly?
"Look at you first, I'll be here in a minute."
As if she was overwhelmed by the smell, the woman took a few steps back, then found an excuse to return to her room.
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other.
Suddenly, the person on the bed opened his eyes.
"Go find Xiaohua."
The old man's hand was suddenly grabbed, which shocked both of them.
"Xiaohua? What Xiaohua?" The old man calmed down and looked at Tieniu.
But Li Tieniu kept insisting that the two of them go to Xiaohua.
Xiao Ran was a little confused, but he still agreed: "We will go find Xiaohua."
Just as she was talking, the woman shouted loudly: "Have you finished reading?"
Hearing the woman's voice, Li Tieniu trembled, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran became even more sure that there was a ghost inside.
The two left the cabin, and the woman hurried forward and locked the house.
"What do you think? Then when are you going to help us Tieniu?" The woman said with a smile: "You see, it is quite hard for us to take care of Tieniu. We are both exhausted, and the hard work..."
"I know, I will find a doctor for Tieniu later, and I will also send two maids to take care of him."
Upon hearing this, the woman froze instantly!
She said this because she hoped Mr. Chu would give him more money. If she asked the doctor to find a maid, wouldn't she get nothing?
"Old man...but I..."
"Well, Tieniu's situation doesn't look too optimistic now. Is it possible that you don't want to let him get better first? We'll talk about other things later."
As soon as these words came out, the woman was instantly choked.
I didn’t know how to refute it for a while.
Before she could say anything, the two of them walked towards the door.
"No!" The woman stopped in front of the door, hesitating: "Old man, we don't have any rice to cook with now, why don't you give me some money first?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and was about to say something.
"Okay, how much do you want?" The old man said with a dark face.
Xiao Ran was a little anxious. Once he gave it to such a person, there would be no end to it in the future.
"Fifty taels!"
Damn it? Xiao Ran looked at the woman in disbelief, what a lion!
Fifty taels can buy a house!
Whose family is so expensive to eat?
"I only have ten taels with me now. If not, I'll have my servants deliver them later." The old man did not refuse.
"Ten taels is ten taels."
No matter how much it is, getting it is the most important thing.
The woman seemed a little disappointed, but it was better than nothing. At the same time, I felt that this old man was not rich as he imagined, and he couldn't even get fifty taels.
The old man nodded and gave Xiao Ran a look.
Xiao Ran took out ten taels of silver, and the woman quickly took it with an excited look on her face.
"Then let's leave first."
The woman nodded repeatedly, then stepped forward and opened the door.
After walking out of the house, Xiao Ran was a little confused: "Why should you give it to her? This kind of person looks greedy at first sight."
"What if she doesn't let us go?" The old man also had concerns.
"It's just a woman. At most, I can handle the man from before! After all, they are all old. How can I, a young man, be afraid of them?"
The old man looked at Xiao Ran: "What if it doesn't stop?"
more than?
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
I don't know if there is anyone else in the room. If there is, the two of them must be inseparable.
"You're right." Xiao Ran nodded and didn't say anything more. He thought it was simple.
"Let's go back!"
Mr. Chu sighed and walked back.
As soon as I got back, I saw Chu Yanhong tinkering with something.
Xiao Ran was a little surprised when he saw the sumptuous breakfast.
"It looks good." Xiao Ran praised him. The two of them had gotten a lot closer that morning.
"Indeed, Yan Hong is interested!"
"Dad! Eat quickly!"
He supported the old man and sat down to eat. When he got up, he didn't see the two of them and asked casually: "Where have you been?"
"Going to see an old friend."
"Old friend?" Chu Yanhong was a little surprised. Did the old man make friends here so quickly?
Xiao Ran opened his mouth and told Chu Yanhong about what happened in the morning.
After hearing this, Chu Yanhong felt a little indignant: "This woman must be thinking that we have some money and is planning to blackmail us!"
"Don't worry about it, I will find a way to solve it later." Xiao Ran waved his hand, and there was nothing this woman could do to them.
It's just that this time they came out with not many people. They only had a few personal maids and servants, adding up to only five servants.
If there is a conflict, they probably won't be able to get over it.
"Then what are you going to do?" Chu Yanhong thought of Li Tieniu's current situation. If she couldn't find a way to rescue him, he probably wouldn't be able to last long.
"I'll go out in the afternoon."
"Go out?" Chu Yanhong looked at Xiao Ran. What if she went out and was caught by that family asking for money?
"Yes, go out for a while and leave this matter to me. You watch the old man."
Chu Yanhong looked at the old man and remained silent, seeming to acquiesce, and then agreed.
"Okay, you go ahead." Chu Yanhong nodded.
After the food was all gone, Xiao Ran stood up and said, "Lai Fu will follow me in a moment!"
