Chapter 190 Chang Family

Chang Pu is ill.

In the first few days, Mrs. Zhang still came to the bedside to wait on her. Later, when she saw several doctors and they all said that she had suffered a stroke and that even if she got better, she would not be the same as before, Mrs. Zhang gradually came to the bedside less and less.

Later, Mrs. Zhang didn't even ask for a doctor. Changsheng couldn't see it, so he quietly went to find Chang Kuan, thinking about finding a better doctor for Chang Pu.

When Chang Kuan saw his brother in this situation, he complained about Zhang. Unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, Mrs. Zhang started crying with runny nose and tears, "Brother and sister-in-law, you have to make the decision for me. Now that I have this disease, just taking medicine and hiring a doctor is a huge sum of money." With so much expense, this family originally had only an empty shell. How can I, a woman, survive now?"

Although Chang Pu was lying on the bed unable to move, he was not ignorant. When he heard Zhang's words, he was so angry that he made a vague sound in his mouth, but could not say a word.

Chang Kuan looked at Mr. Zhang and said impatiently: "Even if you lose your family and everything, you still need to treat the diseases that should be treated. No matter how bad my brother is, he will have a small birth, and it will reach the point where he can't even afford a doctor."

Seeing Chang Kuan say something he couldn't say, Chang Pu closed his eyes and the breath in his chest became slightly calmer.

Mrs. Zhang curled her lips, making her already mean face even meaner, "Brother said it lightly, this family looks like this, but it's actually just empty airs. The master's salary is only enough for the family to eat and drink, and even for the rest of the family, I have been owed wages for almost a year, so I would like to hire a better doctor for you, but the key is to be able to afford it."

"You" Chang Kuan was so angry that he fell back.

Chang Pu's already crooked mouth became even more crooked, and his eyes stared at Zhang, speechless.

Seeing him like this, Chang Kuan couldn't care less about his own anger, and stroked his chest to help him breathe, "Don't be anxious, no matter what, I won't watch you like this."

Tears shed from the corners of Chang Pu's eyes. I have been running my business all my life, but I never knew it would become what it is today. If the Han family was still here, this family would never be like this. When he thought of the Han family, Chang Pu thought of the Pei family, and then of Chang Luoyao. His heart was so confused that he made a hehe sound that no one could understand.

"Did I make a mistake?" Mrs. Zhang saw his look and said angrily: "If I had known that the Chang family was like this, I wouldn't have married into it even if I were killed. Forget it when the master was good, but now he has become In this way, seeing that there was no hope left, everyone dropped their hands and began to point fingers at me, a good-for-nothing lady. Master——"

Mrs. Zhang suddenly sat down on the ground, crying in a long voice and hitting her stomach with her hand: "How can the slave family live like this? It's all your fault, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would have hanged myself with a rope. , it’s better than being criticized like this.”

Chang Kuan was so angry that his heart ached, but he could no longer say a word.

I had long heard of Zhang's shrewdness, but I thought she was just more difficult to deal with than ordinary women, but I didn't know she had such a temper.

Jiang, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore, and was worried that she would do something bad to the child in her belly and cause chaos.

She suppressed the disgust in her heart and had no choice but to patiently step forward to help Zhang, "You are about to be a mother after all. Even if it's not for yourself, don't you think about the child in your belly? What if something happens to you? It’s too late to regret.”

Zhang took the opportunity to grab Jiang's wrist, and rubbed all the snot and tears from her face onto Jiang's sleeves, "Sister-in-law, if I had the means, why should I do this? But there is really no way I can survive these days. As soon as the master falls ill, I It’s already difficult enough, but my uncle actually said that I don’t want to treat him, is there anything more heart-wrenching than this?”

Mrs. Zhang reluctantly said: "The second child is sick, and his elder brother is also anxious."

"He is anxious, am I not more anxious than him?" Mrs. Zhang howled: "Why are all the people in this room relying on me? In this room, even if Wen Yun has no ability, there is still a fourth girl. , is it possible to tell her that she still doesn’t have enough money for me to hire a doctor? Why is it that after all the calculations, everyone is staring at me? "

Seeing that she was getting worse and worse, Jiang said sarcastically: "Who in this room dares to stare at you? When you married into the Chang family, you made it clear and obvious that the Zhang family did not have any dowry. .”

Zhang's body stiffened as if she had been burned by fire, and her face turned red. No matter how fierce she is, her poverty will be a lifelong shame for her.

If the Zhang family hadn't been in ruins and had no money to buy a dowry for their daughter, how could she have been unable to get married, and ended up being old and having to be the stepmother of an old man?

I originally thought that after a year or two, I would have a child of my own, so that I would have someone to rely on when the child grows up. Who knew that the old man had collapsed while the child was still in his belly.

She finally saved some money for herself, but she didn't want to spend it all on this useless person.

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and stopped crying. She slowly stood up, combed her hair with her hands, and said calmly: "What my sister-in-law said is not that I don't care about my relationship with the master, but you also know that there is really nothing I can do. If you still care about this relationship with the master, If you don't deserve it, you should find a doctor to take a look at it. The child in my belly and I will also be grateful to you." Mrs. Jiang snorted, she had seen shameless people, but compared with Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Shi is simply invincible.

Chang Kuan glanced at Chang Pu who was lying on the bed, and said to Jiang, "Don't say any more. I only have this one younger brother left. No matter what, I won't ignore him."

Although Jiang was panicking, she thought that Chang Pu was Chang Kuan's biological brother after all, so she couldn't say no to him no matter what, so she could only nod her head and said: "We are all our brothers, no matter what, there is no reason to ignore him."

Chang Kuan looked better, turned to Changsheng and said, "Go and see the doctor now, and the medical fee will be charged to me."

Zhang curled her lips and said nothing.

Changsheng bowed deeply, and just as he was about to go out, he saw a young man walking in the door. He was wearing a blue cloth suit. The robe was slightly baggy, making him look even more youthful and thin.

He walked forward and called "Uncle, auntie." Then he walked to the bed and looked at Chang Pu on the bed carefully.

Chang Pu looked at the young man in front of him, his lips trembling, but tears slowly filled his eyes. For a while, it seemed that his eyes could no longer hold so much liquid. As soon as he closed his eyes, tears rolled down his face.

Chang Wenyun looked quietly at the man in front of him, the man he once called his father.

He was once so stern and yet so elegant. He once wished so much to please him, but he didn't know when, maybe it was after his aunt's death, maybe it was after his grandmother passed away, or maybe it was after his fourth sister was sent to Zhuangzi. An unreasonable fear arose towards him, and in the end, he even shrank and was useless in front of him.

When he was five years old, he hid in his grandmother's conservatory. He originally wanted to scare her, but he heard her mother asking Qiu Hen to poison his grandmother's food.

He asked Aniang why he did this, but Aniang covered his mouth and told him that he must not tell this matter. If he did, his father would kick them all out.

Later, the poison was found in the aunt's house. He was afraid that his father would kick his mother and him out of the house, so he never dared to say anything. He didn't dare to say anything until his aunt died in the ancestral hall.

But from then on, he never kissed his father and mother again.

There was a dark corner in his heart, where there was no sunshine all year round, where filthiness, calculations and confusion were buried, and there was also guilt that he couldn't bear. Until Pei's death.

He knew that Pei's death was definitely not as simple as it seemed, but he didn't want to delve into it. Although this home was still bright on the outside, it was already rotten on the inside. He was struggling in the pus and blood, trying to get a glimmer of life, but the harder he struggled, the more hopeless he became.

Until she asked him if he wanted to go to the pawn shop.

Although he completely left the Chang family because of Chang Pu's violent beating with a stick, who knew that this departure was a long-planned self-salvation.

In just a short moment, Chang Wenyun felt as if he had experienced thousands of rivers and mountains. As Chang Pu got older, the shackles he could not overcome in his life suddenly collapsed.

Chang Wenyun's eyes were slightly red, and he stared blankly at Chang Pu on the bed.

Chang Kuan looked at his appearance and thought that he was too sad, so he comforted him and said, "Although your father is sick, he has no life to worry about now. I will ask for a better doctor later, and he will take care of him for a while." I guess it will get better gradually."

Chang Wenyun said respectfully: "Thank you, uncle."

Chang Kuan sighed, this good family is in this state now, no one knows what evil they have done.

It would be great if the Han family was still here.
