CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84: GIVE US A WAY TO SURVIVE

Zhao Lizheng immediately set the tone, from now on, respect Doctor Gu, help him as much as possible wherever you can.

Right, my own family has a naturally advantageous connection, the future younger daughter-in-law and Doctor Gu are sisters!

Good, that’s great!

As soon as Yun Jiao entered the yard, she met Mrs. Yang, who gave her a sideways glance and yelled towards the window, "Sister-in-law, the old man wants to see you, he has something to say." Her tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Mrs. Chen put down the needlework in her hand, went out, glanced at Mrs. Yang indifferently, and entered the main room of the hall.

Mr. Jiang was sitting at the top, puffing on his pipe.

Seeing Mrs. Chen come in, he pointed at a chair below him, "Sit."

Mrs. Chen sat down and heard the old man say, "Technically, since the family separated, there are some things I shouldn’t interfere with, but this is still the Old Jiang Family, so I must speak."

"What’s with Da Lang’s wife’s brother, Xiao Chuan? Why do I hear he’ll be living with us later on?"

Mrs. Chen lowered her head, "Hmm, his mother went to the Prefecture City to find his father, his eldest sister is about to get married, and there’s no one at home, so he can only temporarily stay here."

Mr. Jiang frowned, "He can’t live in his married sister’s house, it’s inappropriate, doesn’t he have any uncles?"

Mrs. Chen kept her head down, "I’m the one who kept him here."

Mr. Jiang exhaled a puff of smoke, "You should let him go back, he’s a Gu Family member, the Gu Family will take care of him, what business does he have at the Jiang Family."

Mrs. Chen laughed coldly in her heart, but appeared exceedingly respectful, "Father, it’s not that I’m disobeying you, it’s just that, the whole family relies on Yun Jiao to survive now."

Mr. Jiang opened his eyes wide, "Nonsense, didn’t we give you food and fifteen taels of silver when the family split? Are you saying it’s all gone?"

Mrs. Chen said calmly, "That fifteen taels of silver, I repaid five taels to Sun on the second day."

"A few days ago, Yun Jiao went to town to get medicine for San Lang, and first repaid three taels and more to the pharmacy, only six taels and more left, not even enough to buy medicine."

"Now everything we eat and use, plus San Lang’s medicine, is all paid from Yun Jiao’s silver, later on, San Lang will continue to need medicine, and it’ll rely on Yun Jiao too."

"Father, please tell me, can I chase Xiao Chuan out?"

Mr. Jiang was silent for a moment, "Where did she get the silver?"

Mrs. Chen straightened her back, "She met a wealthy person in the county, treated them successfully, and they were grateful to her, gave her quite a bit of silver."

Mr. Jiang was stunned, "She can really treat illnesses?"

Mrs. Chen nodded, "She really can, and her medical skills are quite good."

Following that, Mrs. Chen tried hard to adjust her expression to make herself appear pitiful, "Father, I beg you, let Xiao Chuan stay temporarily. "

"Now the whole family is relying on Yun Jiao to have a living, please be kind."

Mrs. Chen had spoken to this point, Mr. Jiang, if he insisted on sending Xiao Chuan away, would be denying the family’s livelihood.

The old man sighed helplessly, "Then let him stay."

Mrs. Chen was secretly delighted, just about to leave, when she heard the old man say, "Even if she has silver, it’s not sustainable to spend like this, I heard you are eating meat every day now?"

Mrs. Chen made a helpless gesture, "I said the same, but Yun Jiao wouldn’t listen."

"She said her body is weak and needs to grow, she must eat meat."

"I think, San Lang, Liu Lang, and even San Ya can have a bite, so it’s not too good to stop her."

The old man could say no more, he waved his hand, "Go."
