Chapter 634 - 059 Rice Wine, Incident in Yecheng_4
Chunfeng Building was the largest brothel in Zhuma Town. People of status often frequented it, and it was rare for any trouble to occur. Of course, Lin Jiaxiao was willing to take on such a desirable job, especially since there were many young and beautiful girls in the building, which was far preferable to dealing with Li Feng’e, the foul-tempered woman, all day.
However, Lin Jiaxiao was no fool; he dared not tell his wife about the job but simply claimed he was working with his cousin. With Li Sanzi being a relative, Li Feng’e naturally didn’t suspect anything. All that mattered to her was that he brought home money.
As for Lin Jiazhong’s situation, it could only be described as tragic. His second son was paralyzed on the kang bed, and although Lady Ma took great care of him every day, his mental state was becoming increasingly chaotic. Several times he had stealthily crawled out of the house, mumbling and attempting to head towards Lin Yuan’s direction. Even worse, the children in the village had seen him, taunting and throwing stones at him, which worsened his mental state.
Lady Ma, consumed by the care for her son, cried all day, neglecting everything else. She even forgot that her eldest son had not returned home for over a month.
In order to save his younger son from the disaster of imprisonment, Lin Jiazhong borrowed a significant amount of silver from the Boss, and even now the debt had not been fully repaid. Every day, when he came home and heard his younger son’s wailing, he couldn’t help feeling agitated. Lady Ma also often wept to him, begging him to find a skilled doctor, which only added to his irritation.
Lady Ma and her husband had lost hope for their son, but when they heard that Lin Jiaxin, who had been paralyzed for more than half a year, had managed to stand up again, they saw new hope. However, the person who treated Lin Jiaxin was not just anybody; it was the former owner of the Fuman Building. It was so, not even Master Magistrate Lichang could easily request his services without considering his mood.
