Chapter 403 Going to He’s House
Chapter 403 Going to He’s House
"Silver? I have silver here. I can pay for it."
He Fang hurriedly and subconsciously searched for her banknotes, all of which were rewards from her for her military achievements.
Qin Zuo quickly stopped her and said:
"Fang'er, calm down. We don't know the extent of Dad and Big Brother's injuries yet. Why don't we go take a look? Don't forget, your husband is a doctor."
"Hmm? Yes, you are a doctor, go and help me check on my dad, wuwu..."
As He Fang spoke, she couldn't help choking up. She couldn't imagine how dangerous her father and elder brother were in at that time.
"What's going on here?"
Qin Erbo and Qin Ji heard the noise and came out.
Qin Yan briefly explained the matter, and Qin Ji immediately said:
"What are you thinking about, You'er? Go get the carriage and bring your in-laws here for treatment."
"Ah good."
Qin You immediately ran to the backyard.
"Uncle Qin, how can this be possible? How can I trouble you?"
The reason He Fei didn't want to come before was because he was worried about causing trouble for them. Life is not easy for anyone these days, and he didn't want to drag down the Qin family.
"How can this be possible? Don't worry, we have a place to stay."
He Fei could only bow to them and say:
"I have found a suitable job and I will be able to support my family. Uncle, uncle, thank you."
"What's the big deal? We are all family. Let's go pick them up first."
Seeing that they had made all the arrangements, Qin Yan quietly gave Qin Zuo some spiritual spring water, and then took Shen Nuo home.
Qin Zuo and Qin You drove out in a carriage, with He Fang and He Fei in the carriage.
"Second brother, how did you get here?"
He Fang herself escaped many crises because she followed Shen Nuo and the others, but what about her parents and brother and sister-in-law?
Speaking of this, He Fei's eyes became red.
We followed the main group, but we were unable to avoid the ground bulls we encountered on the way.
Among my uncle and his family, only my cousin survived.
He Fei couldn't help feeling sad when he recalled the situation at that time. They had originally wanted to escape together, but unfortunately, the earthquake caused the mountain to collapse.
My uncle and his friends had no chance to escape, and only my cousin managed to escape.
By the time they rushed over to rescue them, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't even dig out their bodies.
There was a huge rock pressing on it, it was a whole piece of rock as big as a hill.
Qin Zuo and the others outside were also silent as they listened to these words.
The road to escape famine is not easy. Not everyone is as lucky as the people in Yunzhu Village. Most of them are separated from their wives and children, and their families are destroyed.
He Fang cried all the way, and couldn't help but let her tears fall. Those were her relatives, how could she not be sad?
When they arrived at Shili Village, several people went in without any hindrance.
The houses here are ordinary mud brick houses, and even these houses were built with the disaster relief silver issued by the imperial court.
Since Liang Zhaoxi came to power, he has investigated countless corrupt officials, even the wealthy mayor of Jiangcheng was investigated by him.
It is said that the gold and silver in the basement of the Lord of Jiang City are enough to build several palaces.
All of them have been relying on their status as city lords to make huge fortunes over the years, and even cooperated with bandits in the south to rob surrounding merchant ships and escort teams.
Of course, the biggest thing was that they were actually colluding with the old Japanese subordinates. Song Zhen led his men to track them down and then wiped them out.
Therefore, the emperor issued a secret decree, ordering all the silver to be distributed nearby and to be used for the benefit of the people.
Just like that, Song Zhen, together with the imperial envoy sent from above, turned all the silver into disaster relief money and distributed it to all the disaster-stricken areas.
Only then did the people's anger subside.
This is also the reason why no one had any objections after Liang Zhaoxi came to power. Even if he personally killed dozens of ministers in the court and the news spread among the people, no one would say anything.
Some would even shout, "Well done, those who were killed are the corrupt officials."
After the silver was divided, the He family actually got more than ten taels of silver, but now two people in the family were injured one after another.
The money was almost gone, and He Fei had no choice but to find a job.
There are quite a few people in their family, including parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law, a nephew, a niece, and a cousin who stayed at their eldest uncle's house. All of them need to be relied upon during this period of time.
He Fang's mother, Liu, was a frail woman who had long since exhausted herself from the journey to escape famine. Now only He Fang's sister-in-law, Sun, and her sixteen-year-old cousin were left at home to take care of the patients and two children who were not even eight years old.
He Fei worked hard, but he knew that his sister-in-law worked even harder.
Sometimes when I see my sister-in-law quietly wiping away tears, I just want her to leave.
But his sister-in-law just said that what he said was nonsense. She said that life was a process of living and that everything would be fine after his father and elder brother got along well and the two children grew up.
A carriage stopped at the gate of He Fei's house.
He's father, He Yun, was lying on the bed, the pain from some festering wounds making him sweat coldly.
Liu, who was originally changing the bandages for him, was so distressed that tears came out of her eyes. The eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Miao, also frowned.
"Dad, we still need to find a doctor here. When Xiaofei comes back, I will ask him to find a doctor."
He Yun disagreed, and only heard his weak voice:
"But it's not easy to find a doctor. We have no income now. If we spend more money, what will happen to the two children? What will you do?"
Brother He Yi, who had a bandage on his leg, could only watch. There was nothing he could do and his body was still in pain.
A broken leg is a serious injury and the doctors will be able to detect it quickly.
But he always felt severe pain in his body, but at that time he thought he had hit a rock and it would be fine after a few days of rest.
However, it has been seven or eight days, and the pain is getting worse day by day. I have been unable to speak for the past two days.
This was the scene Qin Zuo and his friends saw when they entered the room.
Two women were wiping their tears, two people wrapped in bandages were lying on the bed, and the room smelled a bit bad, but it was mostly a bitter smell of medicine.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother!!"
He Fang was just shedding tears at first, but when she saw her parents in this state and all the family members so skinny, she couldn't hold back her tears immediately.
"I am unfilial, wuwuwu..."
"This, this is Fang'er?"
"My Fang'er, you're back?" Liu came over crying, holding a crutch, and He Fang hurried forward to support her.
The current Liu no longer looks like the beautiful woman who was kept in the mansion. Even her hair has turned gray and there is not much flesh on her face.
His skinny hands tightly grasped He Fang's sleeves, and tears flowed from his cloudy eyes.
"My Fang'er is back? Let me see her."
"Mother, I am unfilial. I am only coming to you now."
She cried so sadly that Qin Zuo could only help her sit down.
