Break the engagement.

Seeing Zhou Xiping asking, Hua Lang hurriedly said, "It's really a matter of love to come to the county magistrate. My father got sick a few days ago and now he needs medicine to be treated urgently. However, his family is barely alone and he really can't afford the medical expenses. Thinking of the relationship between my Hua family and the county magistrate, he wanted to borrow some money to treat my father. After my father recovers from illness, I will definitely find a way to repay it."

After hearing Hualang's words, Zhou Xiping's mouth twitched slightly and said, "As long as my nephew can consider the request I made before, what if this county magistrate gives you some money."

Request? Hualang was shocked. He didn't know what requests?

"Where is the county magistrate who says, you must repay the money you borrowed, but you don't know what the county magistrate asked?" Hua Lang knew that asking this might reveal his feelings, but if he didn't ask, wouldn't he know what the plan was going on this Thursday in his life?

After hearing Hua Lang ask this, Zhou Xiping's face changed suddenly and he said angrily: "Do you still want to stick to this marriage? Humph, let me tell you that although my daughter is not a golden branch, she is also a lady from a wealthy family. I will never allow her to marry you, a nerd."

When Zhou Xiping was so angry, Hua Lang suddenly understood. It turned out that Zhou Xiping didn't want his daughter to marry him, so he wanted to use this matter to make him agree to break the engagement. To put it bluntly, he just used money to send him out.

Hearing Zhou Xiping's words, he had mentioned the matter of breaking up the engagement before, but Hua Lang did not agree at that time.

Hualang secretly looked at the angry Zhou Xiping and laughed in his heart. Who cares about his daughter? Since his daughter doesn't want to marry her, then she doesn't want to marry her. Anyway, the two of them have no feelings for each other.

"Stop the anger of the county magistrate. Since the county magistrate has decided and insists on breaking the engagement with me, then I agree to it, it's just this money..." Hua Lang is definitely not a person who likes to suffer losses. Since Zhou Xiping wants to use money to distribute himself, then he will knock him down.

"Money is not a problem, just count it!" Zhou Xiping knew that Hualang's family was poor and felt that he did not dare to speak loudly, so he asked him to quote it himself.

Hualang smiled faintly, sat opposite Thursday and said, "Six hundred taels of silver."

Hua Lang still knew a little about the salary of the county magistrate of the Song Dynasty. The salary of a clean county magistrate plus other income was only 90 taels of silver. He asked Zhou Xiping for 600 taels of silver, which was equivalent to Zhou Xiping’s salary of more than a year.

This was undoubtedly a huge expense for Zhou Xiping, but what Hualang did not expect was that Zhou Xiping easily agreed.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to break the engagement, so what if you give you 600 taels of silver!" Zhou Xiping said, taking out a piece of paper full of words from his sleeve. Hua Lang looked roughly and knew that this was a contract for breaking the engagement. Seeing this, Hua Lang did not hesitate and directly picked up a pen to sign his name.

There were a lot of 600 taels of silver. After Hualang left the county government with 600 taels of silver, he was filled with joy. With these silver, he didn’t have to worry about the money for his father to treat his illness. Not only did he not have to worry, it was possible to buy some real estate. But as Hualang walked, he suddenly felt that it might be a bit bad to bring so much silver home. If his father asked where the money came from, what would he say?

He said he borrowed it? But who would lend it to you so much? If he told the truth, wouldn’t he be angry to death?

Thinking of this, Hualang decided to hide the silver and take it again every time he used it.

The weather is so hot now that there are not many pedestrians on the street. Even if there are pedestrians, no one will pay attention to Hualang. Seeing this, Hualang quietly flashed into an alley and finally came to a Guandi Temple. Because the Song Dynasty emphasized culture and neglected military affairs, the temple of the martial god Guan Gong was a bit dilapidated. Few people came. Hualang hid the silver and finally left with only sixty taels.

Hualang took the money to the pharmacy to grab medicine, then bought some supplements and food, and then rushed to the house.

Hualang's home is a small yard, right in an alley on East Street. As soon as he walked into the alley, he saw a woman rushing towards him with a nervous look on his face. After Hualang saw the woman, he hurriedly shouted: "Wan'er, what's wrong?"

Wan'er stopped suddenly and looked up and saw that it was her brother. So she hurriedly said, "Brother, my father's illness has worsened again. If there is no medication for treatment, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

When the little girl said this, she couldn't continue. Seeing this, Hualang quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, my brother has bought the medicine back, so hurry up and cook it for daddy to drink."

Hua Wan'er is now in her 28 years old. Although she is not very beautiful, she is quite beautiful. However, she has been taking care of their father these days and now looks a little haggard. When she heard Hua Lang say she bought medicine, she hurriedly pulled Hua Lang to the house and asked, "Do you have the money from my brother to buy medicine?"

Hualang naturally couldn't tell the matter of breaking the engagement, but just said, "You don't care about that much when borrowed from neighbors, just go and cook the medicine first."

Hua Xingyi was lying on the bed, her mighty body was sweating constantly. Hua Lang sat on the side and wiping, looking at the house from time to time. The house could be said to be a bare wall, nothing left, and it was very stuffy. Hua Lang looked at this and wanted to wait a while before he could get some money, repair the house, and buy a few pieces of furniture to make my father live a more comfortable life.

Just as she was thinking, Hua Wan'er had already come with the medicine. At this time, she had the medicine to treat her father, so she felt a little more at ease. The two of them took care of each other's father, which seemed to be a joy of family.

After Hua Xingyi felt a little better after taking the medicine, Hua Wan'er advised him to go to bed again.

After Hua Xingyi went to bed, Hua Wan'er pulled Hua Lang to the outside of the house and said, "Brother, tell me, what money did you come from there?"

Seeing Wan'er ask this, Hualang smiled and said, "Why, do you suspect that the money was stolen by your brother?"

After hearing this, Hua Wan'er was shocked. This was not like what Hua Lang would say before. If it were the past, Hua Lang would have explained humbly and politely. He would never ask a question, but now he did ask questions.

"My brother, a scholar, who will believe me when I go to grab money? I'm just wondering. If I borrow money, I won't have much left after buying medicine. There is still money left to my brother to buy so many supplements and food. I looked at it and found that there are many good medicinal materials in those supplements, and I will definitely not be able to buy them without more than a dozen taels of silver."
