Chapter 377 Judge Not by Appearances

it is totally different from burlap.When Mu Shi was still at home, her daily life consisted of reading and embroidery. At that time, her father's academy was still profitable, so the family had hired...Old Li nodded and left. After returning home, as soon as he stepped through the door, he started complaining to Mrs. Li.

"That couple, I don't think they're any good!"

He wasn't unconcerned about being knocked unconscious, but due to his reputation and the presence of others, there was no way he could win against them. How else could he possibly act

Li's mother was taking care of her son, Li Yuanchun. After Zong's lady gave him a few needles yesterday, his stomach felt much better and he gradually had some appetite again.

In the evening, Fang Jinshi secretly put the spirit water into the porridge that Li's mother was cooking for her son.

Today, Li Yuanchun seemed much more spirited. He and his mother were still discussing how skilled Madam Zong was at medicine and how kind-hearted she was.

If you were to have another doctor, who would treat people without asking for money

Yet, Mistress Zong didn't mention money at all from beginning to end. Knowing their current difficult circumstances, she even helped them seek justice.

So when Li Laotou came home, he started badmouthing Fang Jinshiu. Li Daniu immediately became unhappy.

You're not a good person at all. What did you do to Miss Zong

"By the way, why are you the only one back Where is Lady Zong and her husband"

Old Li sat down with a stoic expression, poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and then slammed the glass down with a loud clang.

"Don't even mention it. I actually thought that by following her, we could get our family's silver back. But they ended up being treated like honored guests by the Zhao family and are now living in their house!"

"He just gave me five taels of silver and sent me back to take care of the young boy at home."

"I think she doesn't care about our family at all, she just wants to curry favor with the Zhao family!"

Li Daniu's wife didn't believe her husband, "Stop talking nonsense. Even though I just met Zong's daughter today, I can tell she isn't like that."

"Zong's daughter must have something to do by staying at the Zhao family, you should stop complaining."

"Besides, how can you accept silver from Mistress Zong's family and even take five taels! She came to treat our Yuanchun's illness, we haven't even given her consultation fees yet. Taking care of someone personally is nothing, how dare you accept their silver!"

Li Muhai, upon hearing this, immediately tucked the five taels of silver into his pocket, looking like he wouldn't let anyone take it.

"Why can't I take it Our family is really short on money right now, Yuan Chun didn't charge a consultation fee for her visit, and the medicine was free!"

"It's only fair to ask for some food and lodging expenses, considering how much she takes care of such a big boy. He eats our food and lives in our house."

"I'll keep this silver, don't even think about getting it back, I won't return it."

Even Li Yuanchun, who was lying in bed, couldn't stand it any longer. He felt his father's actions were excessive.

"Father, you really shouldn't accept the silver from your goddaughter. I know my own body best. I've seen several doctors and taken so much medicine, but I haven't gotten any better."

"After Lady Zong just took a look at me, I feel much better today."

"That's your imagination! You ate so many medicines, how could there be no effect at all Maybe the medicine you took before is starting to work, that's why you feel much better."

It wasn't necessarily that lady's doing.

"If she were really that capable, why are her and her husband still dressed like that"

Li Yuanchun frowned, "Father, don't judge a book by its cover."

Old Li stood up angrily, "Forget it, I can't get through to the both of you. You always insist on keeping the money, even though I'm doing this for our family's good."

"Dad will go get you some medicine. Since you feel much better, eat something and recover quickly. It's more important to focus on your health than what outsiders think."

Li Muhai's tone towards his son was surprisingly gentle. After sitting down for a while, he turned his head and went out again.

Li Daniu's mother shook her head helplessly, "Your father wasn't like this before."

Li Yuanchun lowered his eyes in self-blame, "Well, I know. It's my illness that's dragging everyone down, and Father has too much on his shoulders."

His father was right, right now the most important thing for him was to recover his health as soon as possible. Only when his body was completely well could he help his parents share the burden.

Otherwise, sooner or later, his parents will be dragged down by him.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xingzhou came to look for Fang Jinshu again.The man was more cautious, swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva in front of the cake.These cookies should be eaten sparingly, enough to keep his wife and children alive for half a month. He carefull...
