Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth man's backbone
After Su Chen treated Bai Shouren, he went to give another patient in the Bai family - Mr. Bai, a follow-up visit. The sequelae of the latter's poisoning is still there, including hemiplegia, crooked mouth and eyes, unclear speech, and obvious stroke symptoms.
The helmsman of a generation of merchant family in Jiangzuo was poisoned by his own son and caused a stroke and suffered a hemiplegia. It was a pity.
After all, it is all caused by property! The Ding family is interested in the huge industry of the Bai family, and Bai Shouyi, the second house of the Bai family, is interested in the position and assets of the head of the family, so he colluded with such a vicious plan.
"Brother Chen, grandpa...when will he get better and heal?"
Bai Susu was by her side and asked with a worried look on her face.
Su Chen took the silver needle, picked up the pen and wrote the prescription, and said indifferently: "This is a normal symptom of hemiplegia, but it has become a little lighter than the last follow-up visit. It seems that after the toxin is removed, the damaged nerves are recovering bit by bit. Today I will prescribe another prescription, which has a good effect on nerve recovery and ocular crooks."
"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Bai Susu wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes and cried with joy.
"You have to be polite. Although Mr. Bai has always been mean, stingy, stingy, and unethical to me..., but whoever made him your grandfather, I will do my best to heal me!"
Su Chen smiled slightly. It was rare to tell Bai Fengxian’s shortcomings in person, and he was still very happy.
The old man Bai's mouth and eyes were crooked and he couldn't speak clearly, but his ears were still working well and his mind had basically recovered. After hearing this, he stared at Su Chen with his eyes slanted, as if he was dissatisfied with his evaluation of himself.
Bai Susu glanced at Su Chen and said with a whisper: "Brother Chen, don't say that to my grandfather. He is like this for the family. However, Su Su will compensate you for the Bai family's debts alone."
Su Chen heard this a little ambiguously, looked up at Bai Susu, and asked with a smile: "How to compensate? You don't really have to promise yourself, right? Then he married into the Su family with a generous dowry, and from then on he took care of his husband and children, giving birth to a bunch of fat boys."
"You!" Bai Susu blushed when she heard this. Her always cold temperament was so hot that she was so shy that she was so angry that she was very shy when Su Chen said this.
The compensation she mentioned mainly refers to the money or other help, and try to take care of the Su family as much as possible. As for marriage, it depends on the situation in the future. Although she is also a little concerned about marrying Su Chen, she cannot let go of the Bai family affairs, so she does not mean to agree to the promise of her body for the time being.
But when Su Chen said such bone-thrusting words, Bai Susu felt embarrassed and looked embarrassed.
Bai Susu said shyly: "Brother Chen, don't talk nonsense, it's not what you think!"
Su Chen really wanted to see the embarrassment of the Bai family's female helmsman, and he attacked unyieldingly: "Your parents have promised that when I cure my uncle's serious illness, we will be reengaged."
"Hmph, wait until you are cured and then settle the Peng family's engagement, let's talk about it!" Bai Susu retorted and spoke out the difficulties facing Su Chen.
When Su Chen heard this, his joking thoughts faded because the Peng family's engagement was in front of him. He wanted to marry Qingqing in three years, and it was really hard to deal with his relationship with Su Su.
Unless both the Peng family and the Bai family can agree that Qingqing and Susu will marry into the Su family three years later, and their status will be no different, and they are both good wives. Otherwise, they will feel a little sad about Qingqing and Susu.
Fortunately, the two women had a deep relationship. In addition, Peng Qingqing initially supervised him for Bai Susu, and gradually got to know each other and developed feelings for each other. Therefore, even though Peng Qingqing and Su Chen were engaged, Qingqing still felt that she owed Bai Susu and was quite suspicious of being custodians. There was room for negotiation at the time of the time.
However, in the civil yamen, this situation is not allowed. Only the court officials have privileges for one wife and two fair wives. Even the rich merchants can only have one wife, and the rest are concubines. This requires household registration. Even if Su Chen treats the two daughters equally, there can only be one first wife's name on the household registration.
To solve this problem, unless Su Chen can become a high-ranking official and make a great contribution, he begs the king of Jiangnan to give the title of wife in the Su family, such as the eldest wife, the second wife, and the third wife, and the imperial edict, they will be all wives, not concubines.
"Wow, yeah..." Old Master Bai couldn't speak clearly, and he broke out a few words, not knowing what it was, but it seemed that he had a lot of objection to Su Chen flirting with his granddaughter here, and felt that Su Chen was lying to him to the helm of the Bai family.
"Grandpa!" Bai Susu hurried forward and wiped Mr. Bai's saliva with a handkerchief.
Su Chen felt as clear as a mirror, and seemed to guess what the old man meant. He turned his eyes and arranged to Bai Susu: "You go out and get a basin of water, and see if the maid has prepared the medicine."
"Oh, okay!" Bai Susu's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded and went out.
Su Chen deliberately sent Bai Susu away. He was the only one in the room and Mr. Bai, and then said lightly: "Mr. Bai, don't be excited. I know what you are thinking. I can't stand it that I am so close to your baby granddaughter! You treat her as the helmsman of the family, a machine that can maintain the interests of the Bai family under your control. I am worried that if I marry her, the Bai family will decline because of this, and even more worried that Su Chen will plot the business of your Bai family, just like your son poisons you, people die for money and birds die for food!"
"However, I can tell you the truth. Su doesn't see the assets of your Bai family and the reputation of the nine great families in Jiangzuo. Maybe you don't know that the Bai family was almost crushed by the Ding family a few days ago. It was me who used fresh products such as blue and white porcelain, soap, and high-purity white wine to help the Bai family defeat the Ding family, overcome difficulties and stabilize the situation. I have more fresh products, and each one will bring huge commercial benefits. As long as I want to revitalize the Su family, within a few years, I may be rich enough to rival the country and become the number one rich family in Jiangzuo. I will look down on your Bai family's assets at all, and I will not marry into a marriage and be a son-in-law who has no prospects!"
"As for you, you don't have to be so nervous. I like Su Su. It's her person. I want to marry this girl. It doesn't matter whether your Bai family gives you a dowry or not. That's just a joke I usually make with her. I won't marry a woman I don't like because of the Bai family's assets, nor do I care about whether she has family property because of marrying a woman I like. This is my Su Chen, a descendant of the Su family! You should take care of your illness and recover as soon as possible. Fortunately, you are trained to cultivate a new successor. Don't rely on a woman to support the family, otherwise, I, an outsider, will look down on you especially!"
Mr. Bai was still a little excited at first, but gradually calmed down. He glared at Su Chen, then calmed down a little bit, and finally closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the hidden corner outside the threshold, Bai Susu stood there wiping her tears in a desperate situation. She heard what Su Chen said just now. Her eyes were red, but her heart felt warm. She was moved by Su Chen's words, as if she had penetrated the thick cocoon wrapped in her heart.
