Chapter 695
Hearing what the old village head said, Dahanzi took out a blue leather notebook from his pocket and handed it to the old village head respectfully.

The villagers stretched their necks to look at the book, but they were too far away to see the densely written words on it, but they couldn't see what was written.

The old village chief took the notebook, handed the crutch in his hand to Dahanzi, and then tremblingly opened the notebook, a slightly hoarse voice sounded inside and outside the ancestral hall.

"On April 23, the old Liu's family lost four taels of silver, two silver hairpins, a silver bracelet, and a silver collar."

"On the third day of May, Er Shuan's family lost a tael of silver and a silver bracelet."

"On the seventh day of May, the wealthy family lost 13 taels of silver, two silver hairpins, three silver bracelets, and one gold hairpin."

……

Every time the old village chief read a sentence, Lin Jiazhong's body trembled. In the end, Lin Jiazhong's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

Closing the notebook in his hand, the old village head looked at Lin Jiazhong with obscure eyes, his voice was hoarse but undeniable: "Lin Jiazhong, these are all stolen by your son Lin Yongcheng, you are handing over the originals , or be converted into silver for compensation? Or, should Lin Yongcheng be brought to the county government for the elder to decide?"

Where are the originals?Nearly a month has passed since this latest case, and it must have been sold long ago.

Bring Lin Yongcheng to the county government office, can he still come out?It must be both paying money and locking people up!
Now there is only one way left, but where should he go to get the silver compensation?
Lin Jiazhong thought of the three north rooms and three wing rooms in the house.

"Old, old village chief, we will pay you back." Lin Jiazhong tried to make his voice sound calmer, but his hands were already sweating: "You calculate how much money we have to pay."

Xu Shi had long expected that they would not have any originals to show. The old village chief sighed, and called together the families who had lost their things just now, and asked them the prices of the various lost things one by one, and then Made a summary.

Seeing the way the old village chief settled accounts with his head down, Lin Jiazhong frowned so much that he almost killed a fly.

Clinging tightly to his son's arm, Madam Ma tugged on Lin Jiazhong's clothes with a pale face, and said in a low voice: "The head of the family, the head of the house. Write quickly, I see my son, he is about to fail."

Hearing his daughter-in-law's voice, Lin Jiazhong became even more angry. He lifted his foot and gave Ma Shi a slap, and growled angrily: "I can't hold it, I can't hold it! You raised it!" None of the little bastards are worry-free!"

Having said that, Lin Jiazhong still urged: "Old village chief, roughly, how much is it?"

The old village chief ignored him, and after a while, he slowly raised his head, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Just now I have discussed with them, and I will cross out all the money for you. Well, let’s just count the bulk. Well, it’s 56 taels of silver in total.”

Fifty, 56 taels?
Lin Jiazhong's eyes widened, as if he had been violently hit by something, he took a few steps back unconsciously, and his whole body began to sway.

Ma Shi quickly stood up and supported him, for fear that he would suddenly suffer a stroke like the dead Lin Jianling.

"The head of the house, the head of the house!"

"Get out!" Shocked by Ma Shi's call, Lin Jiazhong's first reaction was to slap her with his hands: "I told you to watch him carefully, if you don't, it's all right now, you have caused such a big disaster! "

Mrs. Ma was turned around by him, and blood began to flow from the corner of her mouth. She lowered her head tearfully, and returned to her son to hug the trembling Lin Yongcheng.

After a slap in the face, Lin Jiazhong finally began to calm down slowly. He raised his head and looked at the old village chief, but he couldn't make a sound with his lips, but his eyes were fixed on the old village chief's hand notebook.

The old village chief thought that he didn't believe that there would be so much money, so he handed over the book in his hand to Dahanzi and asked him to show it to Lin Jiazhong: "I forgot, you are the accountant, I should let you read it." These accounts are correct. Just look at them, and if there is a mistake, we will correct it immediately."

Hearing the old village chief's words, many of the onlookers pouted contemptuously. With so many people guarding him, could it be possible that they would cheat him of money?What a small belly!

Dahanzi handed the notebook to Lin Jiazhong, and his expression was a little ugly.

Lin Jiazhong took the notebook in a daze. There were a lot of densely written words on the notebook, which were clearly neat and clean, but he couldn't read a single word, but he could read the last 56 taels clearly.

His hands were trembling, did he really want to sell the house?But how much are those houses worth?Lin Yuan has already bought his land at a high price out of kindness, should she ask her to buy her own house at a high price?Even if she really bought it, can he sell it?Where will their family go without a house?Yang's there?No, no, there are only two houses, there is no place for the three of them to live at all.What's more, this unfilial son is still in such a situation, it's even worse.

In just a few breaths, Lin Jiazhong had countless thoughts in his mind, until someone's voice suddenly urged: "Are you going to pay or not? If you don't pay, just take Lin Yongcheng to the yamen! What time is it, if it drags on, I won’t be able to come back tonight.”

"No! Don't take my son to the Yamen! No, we will pay back the money, pay back the money!" Mrs. Ma hugged her son nervously and terrified. Her youngest son has already been tortured by the prison, and she can no longer lose this son!
"The man in charge, the man in charge, you should say something! The man in charge!" Mrs. Ma didn't care whether she would be kicked by Lin Jiazhong, and she held her man's thigh tightly with both hands, so anxious that she burst into tears and snot.

Lin Jiazhong was upset at first, and was even more irritable when she cried. He raised his leg and wanted to kick her away, but Ma Shi hugged her tightly and kicked her twice, but he didn't get her away.

"Okay, okay, no matter how incompetent he is, he is still my son, can I still let him go to prison?"

One son has already been tortured to death in the prison, and this one can no longer be sent there.Besides, if it really went in, it would be difficult to get it out again.

"Old village chief, let's take this money!" Returning the notebook in his hand to Dahanzi, Lin Jiazhong gritted his teeth and continued: "However, I don't have that much money now, and I hope you can give me a few days of grace, village chief." , I went to the town to find Siyu to raise money and send it to you."

"Who knows if you ran away?"

"That's right, you have to keep your son. What if your whole family runs away?"

The surrounding villagers started arguing with each other, no wonder they were worried, because there was too much money, and too many people suffered.

The old village chief pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, let's leave your son in the ancestral hall first, and we will release your son after you bring the silver. Of course, don't worry, we will not abuse him. You can come and deliver the three meals a day at any time, we just sent a few people to watch him."

As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, several men immediately volunteered to look after Gu Lin Yongcheng.

At the end, the old village head added: "I only give you three days, I hope you will come back soon."

Lin Jiazhong had no choice but to nod in agreement.

It's just that things never go so smoothly.

Just when Lin Jiazhong turned around to raise money, Lin Yongcheng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly went berserk, causing everyone present to widen their eyes and be at a loss.

Xia Zheng protected Lin Yuan and took two steps back, only to see that Lin Yongcheng on the ground suddenly twitched all over, his bent body was like a prawn waiting to be boiled, waiting for him to roll on the ground and turn around At that time, I saw that his face was even more distorted, tears and snot were streaming down his nose, and he was mumbling in his mouth without knowing what he was talking about.

Ma Shi, who was holding him by the side, was obviously not the first time seeing his son like this. As soon as he saw something strange about his son, he rushed over, hugged his son's head, and stuffed a wooden stick in his arms. into his mouth.

But Lin Yongcheng showed no signs of improvement, he was still sweating all over his body, and his teeth began to chatter.

Seeing his son's sudden appearance, Lin Jiazhong was also dumbfounded, and kept mumbling: "Isn't it all right? Isn't it all right? Why is it like this again? What's going on?"

Lin Yongcheng's sudden onset made everyone terrified. In the end, Xia Zheng was the first to react. He took two steps forward and tapped him with his slender fingers a few times. As expected, Lin Yongcheng immediately stopped moving. Only his teeth But still biting uncontrollably, if it wasn't for the wooden stick that Ma Shi stuffed in in time, he might have bitten off his tongue.

"Little sister, come and have a look."

After temporarily restraining Lin Yongcheng, Xia Zheng called Xiao Linshuang.

Xiao Linshuang also recovered from the initial shock, her immature face was full of dignity.

She rushed to Lin Yongcheng's side with brisk steps, bent her legs and squatted down, her small white and fat hands first scratched his eyes, and then put three fingers on his wrist.

Seeing that Xiao Linshuang seemed to be diagnosing a disease, Mrs. Ma was not happy at first, and the little girl also treated like a doctor?What if he was put to death?
"Go away! What do you want to do?!"

Xiao Linshuang rolled her eyes, and before Ma Shi's waving hand came over, she inserted a long needle into her waist quickly, and Ma Shi's movements stopped immediately.

"Hey, the acupoints taught by the master are really useful, and this acupuncture can really be used like this! Interesting!"

Muttering happily, Xiao Linshuang continued to close her eyes and listen to the pulse quietly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Linshuang's face and her hands, and they even forgot to breathe.

Lin Jiazhong also wanted to step forward, but just as he took a step, Lin Yuan's voice rang out first: "My little sister is a famous doctor, her life is at stake, just let her see."

Lin Jiazhong wanted to say no, because he was very clear about his son's situation.But when he thought of Lin Yuan's generous donation just now, he hesitated, and finally declined: "No, it's an old problem, he just misses his dead brother too much, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Linshuang must be stopped.

It just so happened that Xiao Linshuang had already checked his pulse, withdrew his hand, curled his lips and snorted, "Why do you miss my dead brother, he is not that sick at all. Which quack doctor did you hear this from? It really hurt him! He, it was a mistake. After taking five stones, he was already addicted, and now he is in this state because of the onset of drug addiction."

"You're talking nonsense! My son doesn't know how to eat Wushi powder!" Although Ma Shi couldn't move his body, he could speak with his mouth, so he yelled immediately!

It's just that her dodging eyes have already betrayed herself. Obviously what Xiao Linshuang said is true, and Ma Shi and Lin Jiazhong also know about it.

Lin Yuan naturally noticed it too, pulled the little girl to her side, smiled and shook her head.

Xiao Linshuang frowned, and pouted aggrievedly: "Sister, I'm not wrong, he just ate five stone powder!"

Lin Yuan nodded: "Sister believes in your medical skills. Uncle, if you understand people, you should know the consequences of eating Wushi powder. Moreover, judging by his current appearance, he should have taken it for a long time, you should hurry up Think about what to do now, if he can't control himself for a while..."

If you can't help biting your tongue or hurt yourself, it's not worth it.

Lin Jiazhong gritted his teeth, and slapped Ma Shi on the face who was still cursing: "You bitch! Didn't you say that he has already quit? This is what you mean by being clean?"

Ma Shi couldn't move, so he could only accept the palm forcefully, and his cheeks swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In fact, Lin Jiazhong and his wife only found out later that their son took Wushisan. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, their son didn't go home for several days. Later, they borrowed Lin Fugui's ox cart to go out to look for it. In the building, the eldest son was found in a state of ecstasy.

The blows suffered by the two of them that day were not insignificant. The eldest son became addicted to taking Wushisan, and the younger son died tragically in the snow.After finishing the funeral for Lin Yongle, the two locked the eldest son in the room to give him abstinence from Wushisan.

It's just that it's easy to get infected with this thing, but it's even more difficult to get rid of it.Lin Yongcheng was tortured every day, and he couldn't bear the pain.No wonder neighbors often hear the sound of someone howling in pain.

Later, Mrs. Ma really couldn't see his son suffering, so he lied to his man that his son had quit.Then I used the money to buy that thing, and slowly provided for my son.It's just that her money is limited. In the end, Lin Yongcheng embarked on the road of stealing things.

Lin Jiazhong took his anger out on Ma Shi, because she was angry with her for lying to him. If he hadn't softened his heart at the beginning, maybe his son would have given up his addiction long ago.

It's just a pity that he still has to go to work in the town to earn money to pay off the debts, otherwise he would definitely take care of his eldest son to quit addiction himself.

Mrs. Ma burst into tears, and regretted it too much at this time, but after all, he is his own son, so I really can't see him suffering.

Hearing that Lin Jiazhong acquiesced in the fact that Lin Yongcheng took Wushisan, everyone present didn't know what to say.This Lin Yongcheng not only stole things, but also got infected with it, this is absolutely useless!
Pulling Ma Shi aside, Lin Jiazhong gave Lin Yuan a complicated look.

Lin Yuan understood, and gently pushed Xiao Linshuang out.

Xiao Linshuang pursed her lips and took out the silver needle, but she didn't see how she moved. Anyway, Lin Yongcheng on the ground calmed down after a while, his teeth stopped chattering, and his body stopped sweating.

"I can only stabilize his condition for the time being. If I want to cure it." Xiao Linshuang bit his lip, looked at Lin Yongcheng with compassion, and sighed like a little adult.

Lin Jiazhong only said that she was a child and her medical skills were not very good, so she didn't take it seriously.Walk a few steps quickly, tell the old village chief that he will deliver the silver soon, then turn around and leave.

The needles on Mrs. Ma's body were also removed. She crawled to her son's side and caressed his pale, sweaty cheek with her hands. At this time, she was not a daughter-in-law who abused her parents-in-law, or a shrew who abused others, but A mother who loves her son is a mother who can't wait to let herself suffer for her son.

That's it.

Lin Jiazhong really kept his word, and he ran back and forth from the town an hour later. He brought the money bag in his hand to the old village head, and wiped the sweat from his face: "56 taels of silver is worth a penny!" Quite a few, can I take my son away?"

The old village head looked at the father sadly, and nodded heavily.

Lin Jiazhong turned around, grabbed his son's drowsy head with both hands, and gently placed it on his shoulders, then wrapped his arms around his waist and supported his legs with the other, as if he was hugging a sleeping son who had just been born , picked him up from the ground.

Although Lin Yongcheng was already skinny, he still weighed at least a hundred catties.Lin Jiazhong is nearly 50 years old and has never done field work. It was really hard to pick up his son suddenly.

"Brother, you..." Lin Jiaxin took two steps forward, wanting to help.

Lin Jiazhong evaded, with a deep voice: "No, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, thank you for your help today. From now on, we'd better go our separate ways."

Lin Jiaxin was about to say something, but Lin Yuan stopped him.Lin Jiazhong claimed to have read books, and he was proud and arrogant since he was a child. Today, Lin Yuan, the little disaster star who scolded him in the past, rescued him. His self-esteem has been severely hit. If Lin Jiaxin helps, he probably just wants to find A seam drilled in.

Not only Lin Jiaxin, even if someone else offered to help at this time, he would not agree.Because in his view, those help are an insult to him.That being the case, give him one last bit of decency.

Mrs. Ma helped support her son's leg, and carried her son home with Lin Jiazhong.

However, Lin Yuanxiu's brows were tightly frowned. Just now, Lin Jiazhong said that he asked Lin Siyu for the money, and she also muttered that Lin Siyu couldn't protect himself, so how could there be money for him?Why did you bring the silver so quickly?

"Alas!" Xiao Linshuang's sudden sigh pulled Lin Yuan back from her thoughts.

"what happened?"

Xiao Linshuang glanced at the eldest sister, saw Lin Jiaxin and his wife also looked over, hesitated for a moment, and said with a small mouth: "Cousin Yongcheng, he is already terminally ill, I'm afraid..."

Needless to say, they already knew what the latter meant.People who were infected with this kind of thing would not live long, not to mention that Lin Yongcheng is already very thin now.

"How long can he live?" Lin Jiaxin frowned, his voice trembling slightly.

Xiao Linshuang bit her lip: "At most half a year."

half a year...

Lin Jiaxin was silent for a while, shook his head heavily, and went home lonely.

Xu was to verify that Xiao Linshuang's medical skills were already very good, Lin Jiazhong then took his son to search for doctors and medicines around the town, and all the results he got were that his life was not long.

The couple were in pain, but they didn't give up, and they took their son to see a doctor everywhere.However, the doctors in the entire Zhuma Town have read it all, but there is still no way.

Ma Shi cried all day long, and Lin Jiazhong also lost a lot of weight.Finally they thought of Lin Jiaxin's leg, or to be precise, they thought of the old trouble of curing Lin Jiaxin's leg.

It is said that he is a miracle doctor!Xiao Linshuang is his apprentice. If he can have this medical skill at such a young age, then the old man must be even better!
But Lin Jiazhong has his own pride, and after three days of ideological struggle, he couldn't bear to beg Lin Jiaxin.

In the end, Mrs. Ma came. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down to Lin Jiaxin and Mrs. Liu, and apologized while slapping her face.

Liu Shi was frightened and pulled her away quickly.Lin Jiaxin also repeatedly said that everything is negotiable.

But when Mrs. Ma asked Lao Fan to save Lin Yongcheng, the couple fell silent.Because they really didn't know how to tell Mrs. Ma that Lin Yongcheng was hopeless. In fact, Lin Yuan went to Lao Fan afterward. After listening to Xiao Linshuang's description, Lao Fan shook his head and said something : "Tu'er is not wrong."

Although she was praised by the master, Xiao Linshuang was not happy at all. She hoped that she had made a wrong diagnosis this time.

Seeing that Lin Jiaxin and his wife were forced to speak in a dilemma by Mrs. Ma, Xiao Linshuang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up and said, "Auntie, don't embarrass my parents. Brother Datang, his illness, There is really no way out, even if my master comes, there is nothing I can do."

Before Xiao Linshuang finished speaking, Mrs. Ma suddenly screamed like crazy. She pointed at Xiao Linshuang, screaming and cursing: "You nonsense! Why did you curse my son? What? Calling you powerless? You just look down on us, you just don’t want to treat him! You little bastard, I will let you talk nonsense, see if I don’t tear your mouth!"

As he said that, Ma Shi was about to come forward and scratch Xiao Linshuang's face.

Xiao Linshuang took two quick steps back before narrowly avoiding her attack.

Lin Jiaxin and Liu Shi also reacted, pulling Ma Shi staggeringly aside.

Mrs. Liu protected her daughter with distress, turned her head and scolded sharply: "You are really biting Lu Dongbin, my daughter treated your son's illness, and you don't say that you are grateful, but you want to repay your kindness with revenge! Humph, don't think we don't know , You have seen all the big and small doctors in the town, and they all said that Yongcheng would not survive the end of the year. It is not my daughter who said this alone, why are you angry at my daughter?"

If you still sympathized with her and cared about your son at the beginning, then you will start to hate her now.They are all mothers, who doesn't love their children?

Others said that his son was dying, but she didn't believe it but didn't complain.When Xiao Linshuang said that he was dying, she not only didn't believe it, but viciously thought that he was cursing her son!What's this?This is prejudice!
She felt that Lin Yuan's family didn't think well of them, so it was sinister to speculate on their family's intentions like this. This is a villain!
"Hmph, you are so cruel-hearted, curse my son! My son is like this, you are the curse! You vicious villains! Wicked!" Madam Ma got up from the ground in a daze, and her hair was also because of Pushing and messing around, the whole person looks like a lioness who just lost her cub, fierce but also heartbroken.

Mrs. Liu has also lost her own son, so she is very considerate of her mood at this time, and does not want to be serious with her.Ding Liang and Ding Ming waved her out.

Turning around and hugging her little daughter in pain, Liu asked several times before she was sure that her daughter was okay.

Lin Jiaxin also touched his daughter's hair lovingly, and sighed: "Forget it, we don't care about their family affairs. This is fate, and we can't manage it if we want to."

Although he wants to take care of it, but people don't appreciate it, it's better to do nothing.

Although everyone said that Lin Yongcheng was dying, Ma Shi and Lin Jiazhong definitely didn't believe it.The couple went to Shandetang and insisted on getting the best doctor Wang from Shandetang to prescribe the medicine.

Doctor Wang also understood their feelings as parents, and symbolically prescribed some soothing decoctions.

The couple went back full of joy. Although they didn't want to admit it, they still understood in their hearts that these medicines were just for peace of mind. As for whether it will be good or not, they don't know.

What made them even more distressed was that the frequency of Lin Yongcheng's illnesses was getting higher and higher, and each time the symptoms became more and more terrifying, even the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wang was no longer effective.

Lin Jiazhong and his wife were worried all day long, except for going to work in the town every day, they hardly went out.

Lin Jiaxin and Liu Shi were not in a very good mood, and even the atmosphere at home was a little depressed.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and the day of Meng Liangdong and Mo Sanniang's marriage arrived. After so many troubles, there was finally a happy event to make everyone happy.

 I wrote it after the child fell asleep and got up again. It was already 01:30 when I uploaded it. The editor went to work at [-] o’clock. After the review, it must be more than [-] o’clock~
