Chapter 376: Please, Doctor
Lady Sun had never hated Wang Yonggui so much, but she still needed him at this moment, and thus she spoke in a pleading tone, "Sanlang, I truly can’t feel at ease! I am so afraid, if I don’t see a doctor I won’t be able to rest! Now at home, the only one I can rely on is Sanlang..."
Seeing that Wang Yonggui was unmoved, she gritted her teeth, "Is Sanlang worried about not having the money for medical treatment? Don’t worry, I will pay for the diagnosis. Sanlang, if you help me back, I will give you the silver pieces. Could you please fetch the doctor to take a look at me? As long as the doctor says it’s nothing serious, I will come right back to work! I won’t cause trouble for Sanlang."
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Yonggui with tearful eyes.
Setting everything else aside, Lady Sun took the most pride in her eyes, which were both big and captivating.
Although now unable to exert the overwhelming effect they once had due to her faded beauty, just the act of staring a bit longer at Wang Yonggui was enough to elicit a flicker of sympathy in him.
After thinking it over, sending Lady Sun back home would mean he could slack off and rest, and he could also get his hands on her silver.
Look, Lady Sun has learned her lesson, hasn’t she? Now she knows she has to rely on a man and willingly hand over her silver, doesn’t she?
Such were the thoughts in Wang Yonggui’s mind, his blood boiling with excitement, and courage rose in him at the thought of the imminent silver.
He nudged his way to Old Granny Zhang’s side, "Mother, I think Ahfu’s wound is quite severe, shouldn’t we get a doctor to have a look? If he ends up lame or something else happens, we wouldn’t be able to explain it, right? After all, he’s not our family member!"
Old Granny Zhang spat, "Nonsense! You think I don’t know the rules of the city folk? Even if she’s a maid bought by our family, her life and death belong to us, who else is there to explain to? To you? Or to myself?"
Wang Yonggui, desperate for the silver, argued, "Mother, she is, after all, my woman. We can’t just watch her suffer, right? I’ll take her back to see a doctor. It won’t cost our family a penny; she will pay for it herself!"
