Chapter 115

Mother Zhou looked at her son lying on the bed with a pale face, and knew that if she sent him to the town again, he would not be able to bear the bumpy journey.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and gave the old doctor one or two taels of silver, and threatened him that if her son did not get better after taking the medicine, she would go to his house and make trouble.

The old doctor didn't care about that. He just made a fuss. There were people in the village who got worse after taking his medicine. They made a fuss, but what's the use of making a fuss? They still had to come to him for treatment next time, and they had to be humble. After all, he was the only doctor in the nearby village. Who couldn't respect him?

After sending the doctor away, Zhou's mother turned around and handed the prescription to Zhou Yuru, "You, take this prescription to the pharmacy in town to get the medicine! Remember, you must get the best medicine! Hurry up!"

Mother Zhou handed her a purse and said, "There are five taels of silver in it, which should be enough. If I find out that you dare to embezzle your brother's medicine money, I will show you how I will punish you!"

She said this with a mean look on her face, stared at her for a while, then took back the purse and took out a tael of silver from it, "I remember you made a lot of handkerchief sachets during this period, so why not sell them while you're getting medicine for your brother? Use the money from the sales to buy medicine for your brother!"

Zhou Yuru looked incredulous, "Mom, how much are my handkerchief sachets worth? What if I don't have enough silver?"

Why should she use the money from selling the things she worked hard on day and night to supplement Zhou Yushou?

Zhou's mother sneered, "Do you think I don't know that you have hidden your own money? I won't let you off with me in the past! If the money for the medicine is not enough this time, you should make up for it!"

"Your brother was injured by Zhong Lao San, right? You are going to marry him in the future, don't you have any responsibility?"

Zhou Yuru was almost laughing at her mother's shameless look. It was hard to say whether her and Zhong Laosan would have a future. Even now, she hadn't married Zhong Laosan yet, and she was already responsible for Zhou Yushou's accident.

If she really marries Zhong Lao San and something happens to Zhou Yushou again, won’t she have to pay the entire Zhong family as compensation to them?

She knew in her heart that with such a family, no matter how much Mr. Zhong liked her, the Zhong family would never let her in.

She went to the room in a daze and took the prepared sachet and handkerchief. Suddenly, a strong idea emerged in her mind. She should take care of Zhou Yushou while his mother and others were in his room.

She slipped into Zhong's mother's room and rummaged through the cabinet where she had taken the money last time. Finally, she found a cloth bag under her clothes. She picked it up and weighed it.

He simply hid it in front of his chest, then tiptoed out and closed the door.

She hurriedly took the silver and left. In addition to the money she had just taken from Zhou's mother's room, she also had four taels of money for Zhou Yushou's medicine.

She didn't want anything else. The only thought in her mind now was to leave, go far away, so that no one could find her!

Zhou's mother brought out a basin of dirty water, and she saw her hurried back. She poured the dirty water on the ground and spat, "You have a conscience. You know to get the medicine back for your brother as soon as possible!"

She thought that Zhou Yuru was in such a hurry to go to the town to get medicine for her precious son. The road to the town was a bit far and it would take an hour to go back and forth. It would be best if she could be faster.

It was not until dark that Zhou's father and mother started to get anxious as they still hadn't seen her come back.

Mother Zhou leaned against the door and asked, "Could it be that it was taken away by a wolf?"

It’s not that she was worried about her daughter, but she had so much money in her hands, all of which was to be used to buy medicine for her son. If the medicine was obtained, she would not care about her daughter’s life or death.

Zhou's father was also very anxious. He just went to his son's room to check on him. His son looked better than at noon and was clamoring for food.

He frowned and said in a rough voice, "We have to give her a good meal when she comes back. If Shou'er wasn't in good health, how long would we have to wait for her to come back with the medicine?"

If their son was not in good health, they would have to wait for this money-losing guy to come back and collect his body!

After waiting for a long time, until Zhou's mother became sleepy and Zhou Yuru still hadn't come back, the two of them realized something was wrong.

"Boss! Did this bitch run away with the silver?"

Zhou's mother asked with some uneasiness, but as soon as she said this, she felt it was impossible.

Although she would beat Zhou Yuru from time to time, she treated her well at home and was not sold like the older girls. What else could she be dissatisfied with?

She just does some housework at home, so where can she go?

She still didn't want to believe that Zhou Yuru had run away, but a night passed and Zhou Yuru didn't come back.

Zhou Yushou started to feel severe pain again today. He thought yesterday was painful enough, but today he was rolling around in pain.

"Mom! Didn't you write me a prescription yesterday? Why haven't you gone to get the medicine yet? I'm in so much pain!"

Zhou's mother was so distressed that she could only comfort him, "My son! I will go to the town to get you some medicine now. You should have a good rest first. If you have any problems, just call your father."

She hurried back to her room to get the money, and cursed as she opened the cabinet door, "Zhou Yuru, that bitch, actually took my son's medicine money and ran away!"

As soon as the cabinet door was opened, she quickly flipped to the bottom, not noticing that the cabinet had already been rummaged through.

After searching for a long time without finding the purse where she put the money, she was sweating anxiously on her forehead. "This shouldn't be the case. I put the money here when I took it out yesterday. How come I can't find it?"

She wondered suspiciously, could it be that her son secretly took it and gambled it away?

However, when I came to get the money yesterday, the purse was still there, but my son had been outside yesterday and had no chance to get it.

Then the most likely person is Zhou Yuru, that money-losing guy!

Thinking of this, she let out a scream.

Zhou's father was still feeding his son when he heard the old woman shouting in his room. He became a little impatient.

He asked loudly and angrily what happened. But he didn't get a reply. He was worried again, afraid that Zhou's mother would fall down because she was old. There was already a patient in the family. If Zhou's mother fell ill again, the family would be finished!

He quickly ran back to his room to check, and saw Zhou's mother sitting on the ground crying.

"What's going on? Your son is waiting for you to get the medicine!"

Mother Zhou beat her chest and stamped her feet, "That bastard stole all the money in the house!"

"What?" Zhou's father was also confused when he heard this. He knew where Zhou's mother usually kept her money. He took a few steps forward and turned the closet upside down.

No!

Nothing at all!

His hands were shaking, he couldn't speak, his head tilted, and he fainted.

Zhou's mother was startled and crawled forward to barely catch him.

She was howling heart-wrenchingly. Zhou Yushou was lying on the bed. He was annoyed by his mother's voice and forced himself to get out of bed to see what was going on.
