Chapter 263 The Tao Family
Qingnian walked out quickly, just in time to see Qingfeng who was fighting with the concierge. "Brother, why are you here? What's going on? Uncle Qi, let him in, that's my elder brother."

The porter, Uncle Qi, quickly opened the door and let the man in. "Master, this man is here, and he doesn't say who he is, he just says he's looking for you. I don't know he's your brother?" Since the Tao family's old house doesn't have any contact with Qingnian, the concierge, Uncle Qi, doesn't know him at all. I don't know Qingfeng.

"It's okay, Uncle Qi." Qingnian waved his hand, then looked at Qingfeng. "Brother, come in with me. If you have anything to say, come into the room." After finishing speaking, he turned and went into the room.

When the two came to the living room of the main house, Qingfeng didn't bother to sit down, and said anxiously, "Second brother, hurry back with me, my mother is dying, and she said that she wanted to see you before she left."

Qing Nian's heart skipped a beat, "Brother, you didn't lie to me, did you? Our mother has always been strong, so how could she just say no? I have been going back every New Year's day these years, but my mother doesn't want to see me. Me. She doesn't have me as a son in her heart at all, and even when she is dying, she may not want me, right?" Qingnian is not in a hurry, but there is always a strange feeling in her heart, so she suppresses her temper and talks to Qingfeng .

Qingfeng's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said, "Really, our mother is really failing, she has been in poor health this year."

Qingnian sighed, regardless of whether the old lady was really ill or not, he still wanted to go and have a look.The old lady can have no mother-child affection for herself, but she can't just watch her disappear. "Huangqi, bring me my medicine box and go to Tao's house with me." Qingnian ordered the servant beside him.

The servants around Qingnian were all named after medicinal materials.This Astragalus is very clever. Qingnian has already accepted him as an apprentice, so he took him with him.Huang Qi hurriedly found the medicine box, and another kid next to him brought a cloak for Qingnian.

"Go and tell your wife, just say that I will go to the other side of the old house to have a look, and I will send someone back to report if there is something to do. Also, let Miss Biao and Uncle Biao eat here with peace of mind, I will be back later " Qingnian tied up the belt of his cloak, led Huangqi, and followed Qingfeng, and walked away together.

Jinghan and the others were sitting in the inner room, listening to the young servant Danggui come over and talk about the situation just now.

When Huixin heard that the old lady was not good, she became a little worried. "How is this good? Why is the old lady suddenly not well? Wasn't it all good before?"

"Little aunt, don't worry. Why did my little uncle not believe what he said just now? Could there be something going on here? It stands to reason that the old lady of the Tao family, But she's much younger than my grandma, and she's probably in her fifties this year? At such an age, there shouldn't be any serious problems." Jinghan persuaded Huixin.

Huixin nodded, feeling a little more at ease, "I never heard your uncle mention anything wrong with the old lady. Logically speaking, there are only two medical clinics in the town. Even if you don't find Renjitang, If the old lady is really seriously ill, your uncle will know about it. Thinking about it, there are only two possibilities for the old lady, one is suffering from a sudden illness, and the other is probably just pretending." Huixin is not stupid, she calmed down a little, but I also want to understand.

"That's right, let's just wait for news from uncle at home, little aunt doesn't have to think about anything." Zixuan also comforted him.

On the other side, Qingnian followed Qingfeng to Tao's old house.As soon as they entered the old man's house, they saw the old lady lying on the kang.Both Qingfeng and Qingyu's wives stood in front of the kang, looking at the old lady on the kang.

Qingnian took a step forward and came to the kang.I saw that the old lady's face was pale, and she really didn't look very well.Qingnian reached out to feel the old lady's pulse.

The old lady felt that someone was there, and opened her eyes. It turned out to be her second son, and she wanted to open her mouth to speak.

Qingnian shook his head, "Don't talk, I'll check your pulse first." Then he stopped making a sound, and took the pulse carefully.After a while, Qingnian let out a sigh of relief, and turned around to ask, "What's going on, who made the old lady so angry? She's so angry?"

Over there, Qingfeng and his wife, Yu Shi, looked a little timid, while Qingyu's wife, Feng Shi, curled her lips, "Who else could it be? It's not about the big brother's family, which made the old lady angry." gone."

Qingyu next to him stretched out his hand to pinch his wife, but Feng stopped doing it, "What's wrong? Why don't you let me tell you? It's obvious that the adopted son of their big house didn't teach him, and ran out to cause trouble. Now it's good, when something happened, the whole family followed him Everyone will suffer. Why don't you let me say it?" Feng muttered unwillingly.

Qingnian looked around the house, but didn't find the old man of the Tao family, "Where's my father? Where did he go?"

"My aunt's grandson got married, and my father went to have a wedding. My mother hated the cold weather and the long road, so she didn't go." Qingfeng said hesitantly over there.

Qingnian glared at Qingfeng, "Brother, you ran to my place and said that your mother is dying and you want to see me. But my mother is just angry and it's not a big deal. Why did you ask me to come?" Something? If you have something to say, just talk about it, don't beat around the bush here."

Qingfeng rubbed his hands, "Second brother, this, big brother has no other choice. Your eldest nephew got into trouble outside, and we really have nothing to do, so we thought of asking you to help."

The old lady lying on the kang seemed to be getting better at this time, she sat up slowly, pointed to the eldest brother and said, "Qingfeng, you raise a child without teaching, how dare you say it here? When your father comes back, See if you broke your leg? Your son caused trouble, what does it have to do with Qingnian, why did you ask him to come?" The old lady coughed after saying a few words.

Qingnian stretched out his hand and patted the old lady's back, "You're not in good health, why are you angry with them?" Qingnian doesn't call her a mother, it's true that he has been hurt by the attitude of these people over the years, I don't know how to call my mother. "What's going on? Don't tell me soon." Qingnian turned on Qingfeng.

Qingfeng and Yu Shi looked at each other before telling the whole story.Qingfeng's eldest son, named Jingming, is sixteen this year.He doesn't like studying, and he doesn't want to learn carpentry from his father. He spends his days with a group of gangsters, fighting and sneaking around.The Tao family is a similar family in the town, not to mention rich and powerful, but there is no need to worry too much about daily flowers.So Qingfeng didn't take Jingming's life to heart, he always thought that his son was still young and he would be fine in a few years.

Beginning this autumn, this kid has been attracted to gambling by someone, so he has become a frequent visitor to the casino.Nine out of ten bets were lost, except for winning some money in the first few times, but never winning again.Gradually, all the pocket money Jing Ming had saved over the years was thrown into the gambling house.These are naturally not enough, someone asked him to borrow usury, and wait for the money to be paid back.

These gamblers are all the same, they are all fantasizing about winning a lot of money and making a fortune one day.But I never thought about it, if someone runs a gambling shop, if they win money, will the gambling shop continue to operate?Jing Ming seemed to be possessed, and borrowed a lot of money, but he didn't win any money back.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, people who need to pay bills start to ask Jing Ming for money. Jing Ming has no choice but to steal the house deed from his family and give it to those people.But he borrowed too much money, and with the interest rate, the Tao family's house alone was useless at all.So they detained Jing Ming, and then came to Tao's house to demand the bill.

When the old lady heard that Jing Ming had borrowed so much usury outside, she fainted immediately.Both Qingfeng and Qingyu's claws were numb, and they didn't know what to do.Those who wanted the account saw the situation and told them to give them three days.If the money is not paid after three days, the house will be collected, and no one from the Tao family can escape.

The two Qingfeng brothers carried the old lady back to the house, finally woke up, but worried about how to pay back the money.Those loan sharks are not good-natured bastards, and they dare to kill people if they don't get it right.Later, it was Yu who came up with the idea and asked Qingnian to find a way.

"Qingnian's life is better now, and he should be able to come up with some money. Besides, Huixin's natal family is a rich family that can be counted in this county. As long as Qingnian is willing to lend a hand, this matter will be easy to handle. " Yu and her husband were discussing secretly.

"You'll just think about it. After all these years, Qingnian and us have been at odds for a long time. How can he come to help us? Before I ask him to help, maybe he can be kicked out by me." Qingfeng shook his head.

"Won't you tell the old lady that she is sick and let him come over? When Qingnian comes over and sees the old lady's appearance, maybe she is soft-hearted and agrees. Don't you know who Qingnian is? His The softest heart." Yu Shi poked her husband, "don't you miss our son? The son fell into the hands of those people, and he had to be skinned. My poor son, but It's an old crime."

Qingfeng was helpless, so he ran to look for Qingnian.Before leaving, he asked Mrs. Yu to talk to the old lady, and asked the old lady to cooperate when it was time to celebrate the new year.

Who knew that the old lady not only didn't help Qingfeng speak, but scolded Qingfeng first.

"Mother, you should take pity on your eldest grandson, and take pity on our family. It's almost the Chinese New Year, if we don't have enough money, this house will belong to someone else. New Year's Eve, where do you let us go to settle down? Mother, you don't want to be angry when Dad comes back, do you? Dad's health is not good." Yu knelt down on the kang before, crying.
