Chapter 376 Where is he going to get the money?
Once he realized what was happening, he immediately went up to the guest to show his concern.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, how's your head? Let me take a look."
The customer, whose head was split open, was bleeding profusely, dizzy, and screaming in a terrifying manner. His friends pushed Lin Qingchuan aside and angrily accused him.
"Get out of here! We came to your restaurant to eat and support your business. We even spoke up for Ni just now, and your brother has gone and broken our friend's head! This matter will not be let go easily. We must report it to the authorities!"
Lin Qingchuan panicked and immediately said, "Report to the authorities, of course we'll report to the authorities. This was originally my brother's fault, and it's up to you whether to punish him or not. But his head is bleeding, so we need to have the doctor bandage it up first before we talk about reporting to the authorities. We can't go to the county government to face the court with blood streaming down our faces, can we? Don't you think that makes sense?"
Those men sneered, "Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you!"
Lin Xiaotang silently walked to her father's side and watched as the doctor bandaged the guest. She then quietly asked the doctor a question.
"Doctor, how is this patient's head? Is there any damage to his head? Is it serious?"
When my aunt was pregnant, this doctor was the one who took her pulse. He had visited the restaurant several times, and in the past two years, the restaurant's staff had also gone to his clinic for treatment when they had a cold or fever. So, this doctor was quite familiar with Qianzhenlou.
At first, he didn't reply to Lin Xiaotang. Instead, he carefully examined the customer, opened the medicine box, took out a cotton cloth to wipe the blood off the customer's face, and then ordered the waiter to bring a basin of clean water. After carefully cleaning the customer's wound, he took out a porcelain bottle, sprinkled some medicine powder on it, and tore the cotton cloth into strips to wrap the wound...
After bandaging the guest and tidying up the medicine box, he finally stood up and spoke.
"Fortunately, his head was not injured and his daily life is not affected. It's just that the cut is a bit big and there's a lot of bleeding, so it looks rather gruesome. I've already bandaged the wound and applied medicine. Don't get it wet for three to five days, and change the dressing twice a day. It should be fine in half a month."
The friends breathed a sigh of relief, and their hostility towards Lin Qingchuan lessened somewhat.
They had just spoken up for Lin Qingchuan and criticized the four members of the Shen family, so they were quite reasonable. They were only angry and anxious for a moment, which is why they were shouting about taking the matter to court. Now that the doctor said there was no major problem, they were not in a hurry to report it to the authorities.
However, after being injured, it's inevitable to want justice.
They all looked at Shen Xiaochuan, sizing him up. Seeing his shabby clothes, they figured he probably didn't have many coins on him.
They angrily said, "You bastard, you've smashed someone's head! You have to give us an explanation for this, or we'll take you to the authorities and have them punish you!"
Shen Xiaochuan was lazy and slacking off all day long, and he couldn't stand the slightest hardship. He immediately chickened out when he injured someone. How could he dare to go to the government? He wouldn't dare to go to jail.
So he immediately begged for mercy with a sob in his voice, "Heroes, heroes, I just acted impulsively and didn't mean to hurt anyone. Please forgive me this time, I will never dare to do it again."
One of them retorted, "Whether you dare to do it in the future is your own business. Stop making excuses for us. What do you mean by acting impulsively? Weren't you quite arrogant just now? No matter what you do today, you have to give us an explanation. You hurt someone, that's an indisputable fact."
Shen Xiaochuan was extremely flustered. He thought to himself that his family already owed several hundred taels of silver, and now that someone had been injured, they might try to extort money from him. Where would his family get the money to compensate them?
"Gentlemen, what explanation do you want from me?"
"Pay back the money, the medical fees, and the lost wages, or we'll take you to the authorities!"
silver?
Where is he going to get the money?
Shen Xiaochuan first turned to look at his father and second and third brothers, and then suddenly caught sight of his eldest brother and Xiao Tang beside him. His eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea.
He said, "This Qianzhenlou belongs to my elder brother. It was my fault for injuring you, but I really don't have any money to compensate you. You can ask my elder brother for it. He is the owner of Qianzhenlou. Can he compensate you?"
