Chapter-17: a pill cost 10 silver coins
The other person was a big, burly man with a street-smart vibe. He looked at me with a frown, "What are you dreaming about? Your old lady's illness has nothing to do with me."
These wealthy and powerful masters and mistresses do not understand the sufferings of the world, and they do not even think about how easy it is for ordinary people to have meat and rice.
We are all prisoners, who is nobler than who? We are all the same, why should I give you precious food to eat? Zaman Lark was extremely ashamed and angry, but his greed for food prevailed.
"We, the Lark family, will repay you a hundredfold in the future, so..."
"What future can you talk about after entering here? You should pray to your ancestors for blessings and live a few more days." The strong man rolled his eyes, "Want to eat? Go and ask the jailer for help."
As long as you are willing to spend money, the jailer will provide you with three meals a day. Zaman Lark's expression froze, and his eldest son muttered unhappily, "If we had money, would we still beg for help?"
All valuable things were taken away, and the poor man was left with only food to eat. The strong man was very impatient. "Then you can count on your relatives and friends to bring you food. As long as you pay money, everything can be discussed."
He ate the rice in big mouthfuls, and under the eager gaze of the Lark family, he managed to feel the pride of eating such delicacies. He has it and others don't, so it's cool! Jessica Lark leaned against the wall weakly, her face flushed abnormally, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Grandma, why haven't my eldest and second aunts come yet…?" Old lady Lark also wanted to ask, it has been several days, why haven't her two daughters shown up yet? The husband's family is rich and powerful.
It shouldn't be difficult to spend some money to make their life easier in prison. "They will come. They may have been temporarily tripped." She didn't have the confidence to say this, even she didn't believe it.
Wendy Lark sat in the corner and watched coldly. Even other prisoners had a few good friends, but why was the Lark family in such a miserable state? Not only did no one come to visit, but no one even came to bring me a meal.
Or, is the situation at the Lark family so serious that everyone is too scared to get involved? Jessica Lark has been pampered since birth, living a life of luxury and glory. She has never suffered such hardship.
Seeing that no one offered a helping hand and he saw no glimmer of hope, he became increasingly mentally fragile, his body felt uncomfortable, and he frowned in pain. Madam Lark looked at her daughter worriedly and touched her forehead, which was very hot.
She panicked, "I have a fever, please call a doctor, sir, please help me get a doctor." The jailer on duty was the one that Old lady Lark had offended. Upon hearing the plea, he said coldly, "Just endure it. Whether she can survive or not depends on her fate."
Jessica Lark has been placed with high hopes by the Lark family since she was a child. They hoped that she would marry into a wealthy family to help her family move to a higher level. Now she is considered to be the only chance for a turnaround.
So, they were all anxious and begged the jailer desperately. The jailer was heartless and ignored him. "Third sister Wendy has medicine." the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son suddenly remembered.
The Lark family members all looked at Wendy Lark. Madam Lark angrily scolded, "Wendy, why didn't you say anything when you had the medicine? Hurry up and take it out to save people. Even if you are jealous of your elder sister, you can't just stand by and watch her die."
This sounds like the second house owes them something. Wendy Lark frowned. It was not that she didn't want to save them, but she was waiting for them to speak first. So that nothing can be blamed on her.
The Lark family is not unreasonable, but it depends on the person. But obviously, in Madam Lark's eyes, Wendy Lark was just an object that she could take out her anger on at will.
Wendy Lark was too lazy to reason with her, as she could never wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep. "One pill costs ten coins of silver."
These people have formed the habit of asking for whatever they want from the second wife, so for the sake of their future life, she helped them set some rules. Madam Lark was furious. "We are a family, how can you talk about money..."
Before she could finish, Wendy Lark interrupted impatiently, "Forget it if you don't want it."
Uncle Zaman Lark shouted coldly, "Brother Wilson, you should take care of your daughter. She is so cruel, how can she be a descendant of the Lark family? She is simply a disgrace to the family."
Wilson Lark is an honest man. If you ask him for help, he will be easy to talk to. But he loves his children. You can say he can do it, but not his own children. "I can't control it." Zed Lark is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and he is very dissatisfied with Wendy Lark.
"Where do we get the money?" "Then write an IOU." Wendy Lark said lightly. "No paper or pen." Zed Lark was very thoughtful.
Wendy Lark didn't respond at all, "Sir, please help me." The jailer was happy to help, but he was deliberately making things difficult for the eldest branch of the Lark family. There was no other choice, so Uncle Lark had to write an IOU.
