Chapter 55: Six silver coins
Doctor Lu felt strange, why did the old lady suddenly change her mind? Although he has doubt, he didn’t think much about it . Doctor Lu went to Bai Dazhu’s side with his medicine box to bandage his hands . Every time Doctor Lu move his hand, Bai Dazhu screamed miserably . His tragic cries seem endless and echoed in the courtyard .
Even if he died, Bai Zhi doesn’t want to give him acupuncture treatment . He deserved this pain . This pain was the so-called his retribution . For interrupting Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan’s hand .
After the bandaging was finished, Bai Dazhu’s screams gradually ended . His face was as white as a paper . His lips were bitten, so blood was oozing out .
Doctor Lu ignored Bai Dazhu and packed up his things to the medicine box
. Then, he turned around and asked the old lady for the money .
Old Lady Bai started complaining about a headache, chest pain and shortness of breath . But, there was actually nothing wrong with her body .
“Old lady, just now, you said you’re going to pay 6 silver coins . In front of the Village Chief, do you intend to write it as a debt?” Doctor Lu raised an eyebrow and looked at the old lady coldly .
Old Lady Bai’s face redden, her voice become as small as the mosquito: “Who, who said we will write it as a debt? It’s just, we are tight in money right now . We can’t get silvers . ”
“Isn’t it the same as a debt? You don’t have money in your hands . You can’t get money . You waited for me to finished Bai Dazhu’s treatment first, before
before you said those words . Since when did I, Lu Zhangchun was wronged and bullied like this?”
When Old Lady Bai saw the changed in Doctor Lu’s face, she hurried put on a smile on her ugly face and said: “Lu Dafu, what are you saying? We are village folks in the same village . Our Bai ancestors lived in this village for a long time . Since when did we have an account to you?”
Doctor Lu then stretched out his palm: “Since you don’t have an account with me, give me the 6 silver coins . Nothing more or less . ”
Old Lady Bai laughed a couple of times and said: “Truth be told, the 2 silver coins that were handed to you yesterday was the bottom of our pocket . It is really impossible to bring out a money right now . How about this, you wait for two months,
two months, and when we got paid, we will pay you back . What do you think?”
Debt? Ha Ha Ha!
Doctor Lu smiled and laughed: “Old Lady, do you still remember? 3 years ago, Bai Xiaofeng got a cold . I gave him the medicines, you also said you will write it as a debt . That was a total of 7 silver coins, but did you pay me?”
3 years had pa.s.sed, but the 7 silver coins were still unpaid . However, they were pretending like nothing happened .
Not to mention, 6 silver coins? It will really be strange if the old lady pays .
Old Lad Bai knocked her head and said: “Look at my memory, I thought I already paid that . I didn’t remember it at all . Why didn’t you remind me?”
Yes, this old lady will really blame him to fight back .
“I am not here to make you to make you pay for your old debt . I am here to ask for the 6 silver coins . Take it out and pay me . ”
Old Lady Bai turned her head and look at Village Chief Li: “Village Chief, this thing is really troublesome . I’m not the one who invited Lu Dafu, but he was asking for 6 silver coins . That amount is not small, where can I get that amount in just a short period of time?”
Village Chief Li doesn’t know if the old lady was telling the truth or not . But at the moment, he knew that this old lady will not give the money .
Village Chief Li think for a moment and got an idea . Then, he opened his mouth and said: “Since you can’t pay right now, then let’s write an IOU with the agreed time of payment, how about that?”
