Chapter 3

The whole family stood there, and Yin Tao was the first to react. She rushed to the courtyard door with her skirt in hand, turned her head and shouted while opening the door, "Mother, don't worry, I'll go check the situation."

Opening the courtyard door, I saw that it was a coachman, but not from the town.

Yin Tao looked at him with some vigilance, but asked politely: "This uncle, dare to ask what happened to my father? How serious is it?"

The person who came was a man in his 50s and [-]s. Seeing that the little girl spoke in an orderly manner, he felt a little high in his heart.

"It's not very serious. It is said that he had a conflict with people when he was drinking in the county town, and he was hit on the head. At this time, he was treated in the hospital. It was he who asked me to come here to find you to get silver money to pay for the medical expenses."

Yin Tao bowed her knees and saluted: "I'm bothering my uncle to make a trip, I wonder how much money my father wants?"

"50 taels!" The coachman glanced at the yard and the clothes of the family members, thinking that the family might not be able to afford it.

"What? 50 taels?" Yin Tao couldn't help but exclaimed, and suddenly turned to look at her mother.

At the door of the main room, Yin Taoniang's face was pale, her elder sister stood beside her and supported her tightly, her face was also ill;

Yin Taoniang tried her best to calm herself, and said to the driver, "Please wait a moment, I'll find someone to go to the county with you."

Then he said to his younger brother: "You quickly find cousin Zhang to come to the house."

The younger brother ran away, and Yin Taoniang asked Yin Tao to bring a bowl of water to the driver.

He apologized to the driver again: "I'm really sorry, there are women and children at home, it's inconvenient for you to come in and sit. We'll try to get ready to go as soon as possible."

After speaking, Yin Lan helped her into the back room.

Yin Tao thought for a while, opened the courtyard door, put a stool in the courtyard and asked the driver to sit, poured out a bowl of cool white, and put a plate of rice cakes over it.

The driver drove for a long time, and he was really hungry and thirsty at this time, and he was welcome to eat.

Yin Tao waited patiently for the driver to eat a small half plate of rice cakes, and only asked carefully when he saw that his speed had slowed down.

"Uncle, I want to inquire with you. Since my father's injury is not serious, why is the medical bill so expensive? Is there a name for it, I don't know how much Uncle knows?"

"Ah, I don't know the details, but I only know a little bit from the conversations of the people around." The driver drank water and ate rice cakes, and felt much more comfortable.

Cannibals was soft-hearted, and looked at the group of women and children in the family in front of him. He couldn't bear it, and slowly said what he had heard.

"Your father probably had a quarrel with a few men. At first, they had a drink at the Fuxiang Restaurant in the county seat. They had a good conversation, but they ended up fighting. As for the reason."

The coachman paused before saying, "Anyway, you will know tomorrow. I told you earlier that you have a good plan!"

In the house, Taoniang Yin asked Yin Lan to take out a wooden box with a lock from the cabinet, and opened the box with tears in her eyes. Inside were 20 taels of silver bills, the house deed of the yard, some scattered silver, and a thin gold bracelet.

She picked up the silver note and put it down, then picked up the gold bracelet and said, "This is the dowry my mother saved for you, I thought I would give you a decent jewelry no matter what; now, I can only grieve you, Mother, I'll hit you one more later."

Having said this, I was already in tears, unable to cry.

Yin Lan took the gold bracelet, which gleamed in the dim light.

Looking at her mother's high bulging belly, she didn't say anything to refute after all.

There was even a consoling smile on his face, and he said softly: "Mother, money comes from outside the body, how can it be as important as the family's body, don't worry so much, my daughter has hands and feet, and I can earn the dowry by myself."

Before Yin Taoniang could say anything, Yin Tao ran in angrily, and just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Yin Lan's stern eyes.

Yin Tao followed her gaze to her mother's belly and closed her mouth.

She woke up suddenly, she entered the child's body, she really couldn't become a child, how could she be so irritable, not as good as the 17-year-old Yin Lan.

Yin Taoniang looked at her second daughter in confusion and fear, and asked, "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
