Reborn Doctor

Chapter 8

Su Shi gritted her teeth, and said cruelly: "I will definitely send the money to you tomorrow."

"Hey!" Wangen's daughter-in-law said: "Sister of the Su family, I know you are in trouble, I didn't force you, if in the past, I had spare money in my hand, it would be fine for me to help you, but, you don't know, our family is now and also……."

Wangen's wife said that the loud voice here suddenly let out a long sigh, like a buffalo lowing.

"Well, sister of the Kou family, I'm leaving first. If it's not convenient for you tomorrow, I'll come back tomorrow night."

"Ah! Thank you very much, Mrs. Wangen."

After hearing this, Kou Tong hurriedly raised his footsteps and walked forward.

Just meeting Wang Gen's daughter-in-law's strong body, she reluctantly smiled at Kou Tong: "Ms. Tong is back! I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mrs. Tong is getting longer and more handsome!"

Kou Tong noticed that she looked sad and had red eye circles, so he pretended not to see her, and also put on a smiley face: "Hello, Aunt Wang Gen!"

"Hey! So cute!"

After Wangen's daughter-in-law finished speaking, she left in a daze.

Kou Tong and Su who were standing at the door looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Mother, what's the matter with Aunt Wangen?"

"I don't know!" Su shook her head: "She wanted to tell me just now, but she was about to cry before she said anything, so she stopped again!"

It is unlucky to cry in someone else's house, and it will bring disaster to the host's house, so Aunt Wangen stopped talking just now.

"Oh!" Kou Tong nodded, looking at the alley that Aunt Wang Gen walked by and didn't speak.

"Mother, you promised Aunt Wangen to pay the rent tomorrow, but we have no money!"

"Have you heard it all?" Su Shi was surprised!

Seeing Kou Tong nodding his head, Su Shi said: "I don't have any good solution. All the valuable things in the house are sold and sold properly. Now, only a few quilts are still there, so I can only go to the morning market tomorrow morning. When the market opens Sell ​​the quilt and pay back the money!"

She said with a long sigh: "Fortunately, the weather has been getting colder these two days, and the quilts are easy to sell!"

Kou Tong was taken aback, is the family actually so distressed?
"But, mother, it's getting colder and the quilt is sold. What should we cover at night?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Su scratched Kou Tong's nose: "Don't worry, your quilt is fine, and my mother won't sell it. My mother is old and anti-freezing, so she won't need so many quilts!"

After hearing this, Kou Tong felt sad again.

Mother, you always treat me like a child!But I am no longer a child!

How can I let my mother not have a quilt!

Seeing that Kou Tong was in a daze, Mrs. Su knew that Kou Tong was feeling uncomfortable, so she said to Kou Tong, "Come on, Tong Niang, mother is going to cook, come and help mother light the fire!"

Kou Tong was speechless after hearing this, and followed Su into the kitchen.

In the afternoon of this day, Mrs. Su took the quilt outside to dry, while Kou Tong was holding the medical book in his hand, but his mind was wandering.

For a while, she imagined her mother shivering without a quilt in winter; for a while, she thought of how they were ridiculed by the Kou family in Nanjing; When the time rushed, my mother was already at the end of her bow, she was just holding her breath, waiting to see herself...

This scene appeared in front of her, and she was terrified!
In this life, I can never repeat the old path!

She needs money, if she has money, she doesn't need to sell quilts!

But how can she earn money?To steal or to rob?

She couldn't help but put down the book and stood up!She walked up and down the yard anxiously, without realizing it.

Neither steal nor rob!
She had never done such a thing before, and she naturally knew what would happen to the thief if he was caught.She has seen thieves who were hung up and beaten, and thieves whose fingers were beaten with bricks.There is no shortage of thieves in the town, especially when there are many people in the market, but there are also many who are caught.

If I was caught, my mother would be worried to death!

Stealing this road is definitely not an option!It's not good to grab, I can't run away from others, and I don't have the strength of others.

so what should I do now?
Kou Tong has never felt that he is so useless!For the first time in two lifetimes, she thought about earning money to support her family!
If only silver could drop from the sky!

Even if you can't drop money from the sky, it's fine if you can find it!

She is not greedy, as long as she can find enough money for rent!

But where to pick it up!
Pick up?Kou Tong's head became hot!
Suddenly she jumped up from the stool!
How could she have forgotten that someone had picked up silver, and picked up a lot of silver, and suddenly overshadowed Landlord Liu in the limelight.

Thinking of this, she walked up and down excitedly, as if seeing white silver dangling in front of her eyes!

Kou Tong calmed herself down, drank some water, then pretended to remember suddenly, and said to Su Shi: "Mother, you don't need to sell this quilt, I can borrow money!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Su was very happy: "Really? That's great!"

As she spoke, she said suspiciously, "Where do you borrow money from?"

"Mother, you forgot. I just went to the west end of the town this afternoon. The old man planted a lot of herbs. He said that some of these herbs are for his own use, and some of them are for sale. He sold some of them for a few days. I I can just ask him to borrow some money. He is very nice and has helped us a few times. Come to think of it, he probably won’t refuse to borrow some money.”

When Kou Tong was talking, he didn't dare to look Su Shi in the eyes, it was the first time she lied to her mother, she was really guilty.

Fortunately, Mrs. Su didn't notice Kou Tong's strangeness, she was very happy when she heard it: "That's really great, but it's not good for us to trouble others like this, you have to thank them well!"

Kou Tong saw that Su believed it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, don't worry, I'll save it! I'll go after dinner!"

"It's too late at night!"

"It's not too late. They'll be busy tomorrow during the day! Anyway, it's not far away. The town is so small, and I won't get lost!"

With Su's permission, Kou Tong pretended to pick up the medical book to read, but her heart was always thinking about money.

She remembered that there was a ruined temple composed of three houses at the east end of the town, and a person accidentally discovered the silver hidden in the wall of the ruined temple, and made a huge windfall!After that man had money, he lived a life of extravagance and extravagance, and his concubine married one after another, overshadowing the biggest rich man in Fanshui Town, Landlord Liu.He was also a little unclear with a concubine of Landlord Liu.For this reason, Landlord Liu quarreled with him several times!

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After that person got rich, he gradually fell in love with gambling, but within half a year, he lost out of control.Not only did he lose all his lucky windfall, but he also lost the three acres of land planted in the family, including the two concubines.In the end, he even sold himself, his wife and children into slavery to pay off his gambling debts!
Although I was not rich at first, my life was not bad anyway.Because of the dream of making a fortune, after waking up from the dream, he ended up being sold as a slave.

Not only the people in Fanshui Town knew about this matter, but even Nanjing later learned about it.There was a lot of uproar for a while!
Now, that person has not discovered this windfall!Kou Tong was very excited, she wanted to get the money before that person!

After Kou Tong waited and waited, looked left and right, it was finally dark!
Kou Tong bid farewell to the Su family, walked out of the house, and walked towards the cross-shaped avenue in the middle of the town.

She stood at the intersection of the avenues, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then walked towards the east end of the town.

Fanshui Town is a day's drive away from Nanjing. There are gentle hills to the west of the town, and a large lake to the east of the town.It is said that pearls were once found in the lake.

There used to be wealthy businessmen who came here to raise pearls, but then it was nothing.

It is said that before the ruined temple was built, it was the residence of the rich businessman. Before the rich businessman moved out, he changed his residence into an earth temple.

Kou Tong looked at the dark ruined temple in front of him, like a monster with its mouth wide open, and couldn't help beating his heart.

She stood at the gate of the temple for a while, but resolutely walked into the temple.

The temple is not big, there are three rooms in total, one is bright and the other is dark. Kou Tong remembers that people said that there seems to be silver in the interlayer of the wall of the east room.

She cautiously touched the house on the east side, but saw a dark thing jumping past her eyes.

She was so scared that she fell to the ground all of a sudden.

But he saw the black shadow jumping out of the door and turning around to give her a "meow".

"Huh! I was scared to death." Kou Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood up and quietly touched the wall between the east house and the Ming hall. She took out the small wooden stick she brought and tapped lightly on the wall!
"Choke!" In the dark night, the muffled voice was very obvious.

Not here, Kou Tong changed to another place and continued to tap.

After changing a dozen places like this, Kou Tong finally heard a voice that was clearly different from just now.

She couldn't help being shocked, and chiseled the wall with the sharp cone on the other end of the wooden stick!

"Pfft!" Something rolled to the ground!

Kou Tong looked down, and saw a fat, white silver ingot shining slightly under the moonlight!
Become!

Kou Tong quickly squatted down, happily picked up the silver ingot, and put it in his arms.Then place the bricks on the wall.

Carefully exit the house on the east side.

Kou Tong came to the hall and said to the land god who was lying on the side in the hall: "God is above, the little girl has no choice but to make such a bad move, please God bless!"

After she finished speaking, she ran away!
The cool autumn wind in September whistled past her ears, and Kou Tong realized that she was drenched in sweat!

But she has a happy smile on her face!
She has money, and the money is frugal, enough to allow her to live with her mother for a lifetime!Mother no longer has to suffer!
Her mood is like a kite flying in the sky in March, light and joyful!
She ran very fast, and the ground she stepped on made a "puff" sound, which made the dogs in the town bark "Wow!"
Kou Tong hurriedly stopped his steps and walked slowly towards home.

But just after she took a few steps, she couldn't help running lightly.

When she was almost at the door of the house, she stopped.

After a while, Kou Tong felt that his emotions had calmed down, so he came to the door and knocked on it.

Immediately, Su's voice of inquiry came from inside: "Is it Tongniang?"
