Chapter 526 Can't Hold On
The boss couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get this from?"
The second son looked mysterious and continued to explain, "Think about it, Mom is so old now, and she used to be the one who managed the family."
"But this time is different from the past. From the time the incident happened until now, my mother has not come to you in person to discuss a solution, and the yamen runners have not come to tell me that something went wrong."
"So I thought, maybe Mom wanted to take this opportunity to see if you are capable of shouldering the burden of this family."
"If you can handle this matter properly, then the position of the head of this family might really fall on you in the future! But brother, I am just telling you my guess, just take it as a joke."
The eldest brother involuntarily turned his gaze to the second brother, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly to show his agreement.
"Now that you've explained it, it really is the case."
A smug smile appeared on the eldest brother's face. It turned out that his mother had always been partial to him.
Although the family is not rich, as long as they can get the key successfully, they will be satisfied.
Because he has this key, from now on, he is the head of the family, which means that everyone has to listen to him and he makes them go east but not west.
The eldest patted the second child's shoulder vigorously, and the palm of his hand touched his shoulder, making a crisp sound, "You are really my good brother!"
The boss's originally tense face broke into a joyful smile, and even the two deep wrinkles on his brows relaxed because of excitement. In an instant, he looked several years younger.
"In that case, let's not bother mother. Let her recover in peace. When she recovers, she can move directly into a spacious and bright house. Then mother will be so happy that she can't stop smiling!"
The eldest brother looked in the direction of the old lady, his eyes full of longing for a better life in the future.
When the second brother heard this, he was also so happy that his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
I secretly rejoiced in my heart: Hehe, my goal has finally been achieved. After all, it was my eldest brother who proposed to build a big house. When the construction starts, even if I am lazy occasionally, I think my eldest brother will not say much.
Moreover, if in the future her mother blames her eldest brother for acting on his own without asking for her opinion first, she can always find a suitable excuse to exonerate herself.
What's more, after what happened, my mother would definitely be on guard against my eldest brother, either overtly or covertly, and might even secretly give the key to me for safekeeping.
Thinking of this, the second brother couldn't help but feel proud, thinking that this was simply killing two birds with one stone!
Not only can I live in a big house as I wish, but I can also take this opportunity to create a rift between my mother and elder brother. Why not do it?
On the other side, Ni'er was working swiftly and humming a cheerful tune. It was such good news that everyone was happy to hear it.
Seeing that it was time to deliver medicine to the young man, Nier thought to herself: I must hurry up and tell him the good news, so that he can be happy too!
Maybe if he's in a better mood, his condition will improve.
After all, his condition has been recurring in the past two days, which is really frustrating.
Nier took the medicine to where the young man was and found that he was sleeping quietly.
It seems that his physical condition is still not optimistic, as he is awake for so little time.
Nier called softly, "Get up, it's time to take your medicine."
Then he carefully placed the bowl of medicine in his hand next to him.
But after waiting for a while, the man didn't move, so Nier walked up to him and pushed him gently.
However, the young man didn't even react at all.
Nier's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she quickly shouted again: "Wake up, wake up!"
At the same time, the movements of his hands unconsciously increased in strength.
But no matter how Nier shouted and pushed, the young man showed no sign of waking up.
In an instant, Nier felt as if she had fallen into an icy bottomless abyss. Her whole body was cold and her limbs were stiff.
The terrified Nier stretched out her right hand tremblingly and slowly placed it under the boy's nose, trying to feel whether he was still breathing.
The moment her fingers touched that faint breath, Nier's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and her whole body suddenly collapsed to the ground.
He covered his chest tightly with his left hand, gasped for air, and muttered to himself: "It's okay, it's okay..."
Nier tried to stand up, but her legs were as soft as noodles and she had no strength at all.
After struggling for several times, he finally managed to slowly climb up from the hard ground.
However, as soon as he stood firm, his body began to shake involuntarily, and he staggered to find his master.
After walking for a while, I saw the master not far away.
He was carrying a medicine box, probably preparing to rush to the next place to check the pulse of another patient.
Seeing this, he became anxious. Although his feet were still a little unstable, he walked forward as fast as possible.
"Master! Master~"
Accompanied by a cry with a slightly crying tone, the sound echoed in the air.
Zhao Jincheng, who was walking forward, was startled when he heard the shout and quickly turned around.
When he noticed Ni'er's red eyes, concern instantly appeared on his face, and he asked anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Nier was extremely worried, tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped her tears with her hands and said with a sob, "Master, please go and have a look! He looks very bad, and he seems to be dying."
Zhao Jincheng has been feeling an indescribable sense of uneasiness in his heart these past two days. Ever since he last saw the young man, he realized that his physical condition was not optimistic, but he never expected that his condition would deteriorate so quickly.
Hearing his disciple Ni'er's anxious calls at this moment, his heart sank suddenly, and he quickly quickened his pace and ran towards the destination with Ni'er.
When they finally arrived, Zhao Jincheng rushed forward, carefully turned the young man's wrist over, and gently placed his fingers on the weak pulse.
In just a moment, his brows were tightly furrowed and his expression became extremely solemn - the pulse was too weak, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
However, even though he knew the situation was extremely critical, Zhao Jincheng did not give up easily. He took a deep breath to calm himself, then took out a silver needle from the box he carried with him and concentrated on displaying his superb medical skills.
I saw thin silver needles accurately piercing into the acupuncture points on the young man's body. Every needle was filled with Zhao Jincheng's expectations and prayers.
