Chapter 197 Adoption is a must
No one left, and didn't even cook dinner. They just watched the fun in the Jiang family's yard.
The old lady was a little unwilling, but she didn't dare to say anything. Jiang Haiqing's eyes just now scared her, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
What did the boss mean just now? Did he really want me to replace him? When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"I disagree!"
An old and hoarse voice sounded in the house, and Jiang Youzhen looked up at Jiang He who was sitting on the kang.
He was half lying on the pillow, looking a little more haggard than before.
His throat still hurt a little, but when Jiang He saw Jiang Youzhen's half-smile, he couldn't help but shiver.
Jiang Youzhen had the same expression when he poured boiling hot tea into his mouth that day. Seeing it again made him shudder.
"Fugui is my son, how could I adopt him to Old Eight?" the old man said stiffly.
He knew in his heart that if he took the silver, it would be a good deal. No matter how rich the second son became in the future, it would have nothing to do with him. Why? The second son was his son, and he saw that the second son was getting rich, and he, the eighth son, was going to reap the fruits. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
"How much do you want?" Jiang Youzhen suddenly asked.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, "What?"
"Are you dissatisfied with the thirty taels? The second brother Qin is still waiting outside! If you think that the thirty taels cannot buy your uncle's arm and his future, I don't mind. My father has always been filial, and he still can't bear to part with you!"
Jiang Youzhen leaned leisurely against the door frame. She didn't even want to step into this room.
Jiang Fugui was still in a daze at this time. He didn't understand. He was just taking care of his father in the clinic, why did he have to change his father now?
Jiang He's face darkened, and Jiang Haiqing's face turned pale. Even though he hated Jiang Youzhen, he knew what was important and what was not. It was impossible to ask anyone to replace him at this time, but he was unwilling to do so! He really was unwilling to do so.
"Have you guys discussed it? I'll give you another quarter of an hour. I'm doing this for the sake of the head of the village. Don't think I'm easy to talk to and I'll never stop." At this time, Qin Er, with a ferocious face, suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in. He looked around and continued to say harsh words.
His eyes turned and met Jiang Youzhen's. When he saw the smile in Jiang Youzhen's eyes, he nodded slightly.
"Second brother, what are you saying? I am your father, I gave birth to you, raised you, and gave you a wife and children, and you treat me like this? You have money, but you are reluctant to take it out. Can you really watch the eldest brother get his arm chopped off?"
The old man knew that Jiang Youzhen would never be soft-hearted, but he knew the character of his second son. He didn't believe that his second son's character could really do this.
"Second brother! As your father, I beg you to help your eldest brother one more time. It's your eldest brother who got into trouble this time. It's his fault, but this is the last time."
The old man looked at Jiang Fugui with pleading eyes, and Jiang Fugui was in a dilemma for a moment.
"So you plotted against my father, pretending to be hit by the beam, so that he would pay the money? I want to ask what did my uncle do with the money? If you said you were giving it to your mentor, I don't believe it. If you said you were trying to build connections or even bribe the examiner, I don't believe it even more.
Is it because of that Zhou? Uncle! For a concubine, you schemed against my father and even sacrificed my grandfather. Is it worth it? "
Xiao Chen immediately looked up at Jiang Youzhen. She had been silent until now, but when she heard that it was for Zhou, hatred flashed across her face.
"You are slandering me. I did this for my studies, how could it be for Zhou? Besides, who is Zhou? I have never heard of her." Jiang Haiqing immediately felt guilty. Jiang Youzhen really knew Zhou.
Jiang Youzhen chuckled, "Uncle! Zhou has come to your house with her child, are you still going to deny it? Now Zhou is lying on the bed in your main room, you have to acknowledge her even if you don't want to!"
Jiang Fugui was confused and stunned. Why did he feel that so many big things had happened at home after he hadn't been home for just two days?
"What?" Jiang Haiqing was shocked. Zhou came to his house?
"You asked Grandpa to pretend to be seriously injured and bribed the doctor, saying that you would use 50-year-old ginseng. After I discovered this, I endured it out of consideration for my father's filial piety to Grandpa."
Jiang Youzhen said as she looked at Jiang Fugui. If Jiang Fugui held her back today, then he would live with the Jiang family! She would be more comfortable living with her three sisters and the Shen family.
Jiang Fugui looked at the old man in shock, "How is this possible?"
"Don't you believe it? You can find the doctor and ask him. Grandpa's leg is not broken, and he was not unconscious that day. You are the only one who is kept in the dark! Mom was afraid that you couldn't accept it, so she didn't dare to tell you. We are responsible for the family affairs. Isn't it time for Dad to do something for this family?"
Jiang Youzhen's words were very touching. This was the first time she said such harsh words to Jiang Fugui.
Jiang Fugui was stunned. He couldn't accept it for a while. He glanced at the old man, but the old man avoided his gaze, which made him feel depressed.
"I have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure. But if you hadn't refused to pay the money, Dad wouldn't have to do this, and he almost got hit. Second brother, your eldest brother is really desperate. Can't you really help your eldest brother one last time for the sake of our past friendship?"
Jiang Haiqing's tone was almost pleading. This was the first time he spoke to Jiang Fugui like this. He always acted superior before, but this time he bent down.
He has begged the second brother so much, if the second brother still doesn't agree, then he would be a heartless person and ungrateful.
"Uncle! If you can sell me to the Li family, you can sell my whole family now. I have to be adopted today. Take the thirty taels of silver. This is my last favor to you. You don't think that's all I have, do you? You know, if you make me angry, I won't care about our friendship."
Jiang Youzhen no longer planned to worry about Jiang Fugui's mood. This father was indecisive. When he was really adopted, he would know how wise it was to get rid of this family of leeches.
Jiang Haiqing's face turned pale, "Are you threatening me?"
"Just think of it as a threat! My father has no money anyway, and the money is all with me. It's useless even if he disagrees. A quarter of an hour is about to pass, what's your choice?" Jiang Youzhen winked at Qin Erge, and Qin Erge shouted A Biao to the outside.
"Okay! Don't regret it. You think you can live a good life by being adopted into the eighth brother's family, but you will suffer in the future. In this case, I will grant your wish." The old man suddenly made a decision. He knew that adoption was inevitable.
"But I have a condition, sixty taels. You have to pay all the sixty taels this time, and we won't write a promissory note." The old man still refused to give up.
"It's only thirty taels. If you don't agree, then forget it!" Jiang Youzhen was unmoved. Since he wanted to sever the relationship, he would do it to the end.
