Chapter 13 The banker is about to turn over
The two of them were eating face to face, Qin Yue thought of the debt and said.

"You owe Minsheng Pharmacy 20 taels of silver. You should pay it back immediately after selling the medicinal materials. After dinner later, I will give you [-] taels of silver. You can return it to Sun's house. Don't go empty-handed."

Zhuang Shi could only say a thousand words into one sentence: "Thank you."

"Just do your job!"

Mrs. Xiang listened to the conversation between the two people on the kang, feeling extremely uncomfortable. What should she do in the future?How was she going to face her?

A daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law, a master is not a master, what is this?

Just as she was thinking wildly, Zhuang Dashan woke up next to her. He tilted his head and looked at her calmly.

"Child's mother?"

Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Dad, are you finally awake?"

"I am?"

"We were unconscious for a long time. I woke up yesterday."

"Where are the stones?"

"He was eating with that woman in the courtyard!"

"Which woman?" Zhuang Dashan looked confused.

Xiang sighed heavily and told her husband what happened during this period.

Zhuang Dashan couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and then he sighed.

"Damn, the stone is right. The life-saving grace should be repaid by the spring. Even if it takes our life, we have to give it. What's more, our family has benefited greatly and they have given us their daughter-in-law. She is The noble people of our family should treat each other well from now on!"

"But she's only six years younger than me."

"We are a farmer who digs food in the fields, but we are so particular. As you said, secretly we are servants, and openly we are daughter-in-law. This is very good. When we get better, we should help them more. , live your life better and better.”

"Sister Sun also advised me like this, but she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart."

"Don't take it too seriously, just get used to it."

Zhuang Shi and Qin Yue came to visit together after they knew Zhuang Dashan had woken up.

Looking at Mrs. Qin who was taking her pulse, Zhuang Dashan smiled sincerely at her.

"Thank you!"

"From now on we are a family, we just need to live in harmony."

The old man looked at this and that, feeling that Mrs. Qin and his son were a good match, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I've heard about you two, Shitou and I have no objections."

"Well, just keep drinking the medicine I prepared for your body. You must have a lot to say to them when you just woke up. I'm going back to the house first."

Mrs. Qin got up and left. Mrs. Xiang became angry when she saw her being so lukewarm.

"Listen, what you said is that you really think of yourself as the hostess. What the hell."

"Mom, this home belongs to her. She is the head of the household in the household registration. She is the mistress."

"What, she is the head of the household?"

When Mrs. Xiang heard this, she immediately withered.

Old Man Zhuang glanced at her, "Why, you still want to be a good person at a low price? You go to someone else's medicine shop to treat your illness, but you still want someone to give you some money? What a beautiful idea!"

"My daughter-in-law should act like a daughter-in-law, so she has to speak respectfully to us, right?"

“It’s really unclear!”

Zhuang Shi was in a good mood because his father woke up, "Dad, are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry. I'm starving to death."

"Then wait, there is white rice and scrambled eggs in the pot."

"Did your wife earn all this?"

"She earned all the money in the family, she went to the mountains to collect your medicine, and she paid our debts."

"Hey, our family owes her something?" "Let's not talk about this anymore. From now on, our family will treat her well."

It didn't take long for the whole village to know that the two elders of the banker had woken up.

"Look, I said Mrs. Qin is blessed. She is so happy to marry Zhuang Shi. I didn't expect that both the elders are awake."

"That family is all hard-working, and the banker needs to turn around!"

"That's right, Old Man Zhuang is a good carpenter. It's faster and saves money to work with him. It will be the same in the future."

"It's better than the Yang family anyway. Even if Yang Shaohua is chosen as a scholar, we can't count on him. We still have to be on good terms with the banker in the future."

The banker once again became the topic of conversation among the villagers before and after tea.

At this time, Yang Shaohua was having dinner with Miss Huang in the town. Their marriage had already been arranged. The wedding would be at the end of May, just as the busy farming season was over.

This Miss Huang is of medium height, slightly fat, and average-looking, but she is very good at dressing up, and she is quite pleasing to the eye in her brocade clothes.

I heard that the Huang family's business is very big and they are very famous in Weiyuan County and even the whole of Jeju. Because they made their fortune in Qingshi Town, they have always lived here. They have a big house with five bedrooms and no one in the town dares to mess with it.

Yang Shaohua diligently brought her vegetables, "Weiwei, come and eat this. This is good."

"How is your ex-wife doing now?"

Huang Wei ate carelessly. This kind of food was too ordinary for her, so Yang Shaohua was the best.

"I get angry when I mention her. In order to stay in the village and make me angry, she shamelessly married a man who was more than ten years younger than her."

"Oh? It's her ability to marry someone younger than her."

"What? That poor family can't even afford to eat, and there are two sick people dragging oil bottles, just to stay in the village. Don't worry, I won't give her a chance."

Huang Wei raised the corners of her lips, gave him a meaningful look, and then concentrated on eating.

Yang Shaohua always kept a smile on his face, and his eyes were darting around, and you could tell he was planning something at a glance.

"Weiwei, you also know that in order to support my education, almost all the money at home has been spent. Do you think you can do it?"

"How much?"

Huang Wei knew what he was pouting and what he was pooping.

"100 taels of silver? No, let's say 200 taels of silver. I want to renovate my house into a big brick house. It will make you look good, right?"

"My money will not be given to you in vain. You can go to the accountant to get the money later and make an IOU by the way."

"What? We are almost a family, and we still need to write an IOU?"

"It's fine if I don't want your interest, what? Forget it if you don't want it."

"Yes, yes!"

Yang Shaohua cursed the Huang family in his heart, being a miser and always knocking on the door. Sooner or later, he would have to empty out the Huang family and then add a few more young and beautiful concubines, hum!

In early May, the weather gets hotter.

Zhuang Shi put the kang in the woodshed in place and made a new mat to lay it on. He also repaired the walls of his home, leaving only the doors, windows and roof.

In the past few days, apart from dispensing medicine, Qin Yue has been wandering around in the mountains and rarely talked to the old couple of the banker.

The two old men could now walk. They often sat in the shade of the courtyard and watched Zhuang Shi working while the three of them chatted about homely matters.

Xiang didn't like Qin Yue, so naturally she wanted to scold her.

"Look how many words she has said to us in the past few days? She looks so condescending. Who does she think she is? She's just a village woman."

Zhuang Dashan snorted coldly: "She shouldn't have saved us, shouldn't have paid off our debts, let alone taken care of your food and housing, right old lady?"

"She is trying to repay a favor. She has taken a liking to our family. She did this deliberately just to take advantage of our family in the future."

"I have the ability to save lives, but I can't just make a living wherever I go. Do our stones grow well? Or do we have money at home? Why do they bother to support our family?"

"She doesn't look good either. She's still so old. It's good if she doesn't dislike her."

The two old men were arguing with each other, and Qin Yue happened to come back with a basket and overheard.

"Now that you can move and have the strength to make irresponsible remarks behind your back, then move out and don't continue to suffer here. I can't afford to support a giant Buddha like you."
