A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 139: Constable Wang is Short of Money

The next day, Song Ning came out of the house early in the morning and unexpectedly found two pheasants with their feet tied in the yard, flapping their arms in the corner of the wall.

On the other side, the old man was taking a nap leisurely in a rocking chair.

Song Ning walked over and asked, "Grandpa, why did you get up so early?"

Old man Xin opened his mouth and yawned: "I get older and don't sleep as much."

"I think you slept too much in the prison a few days ago?" Hang Shuheng brought Yangyang out and just happened to hear what the old man said, and couldn't help but retort. With that kind of sleep quality, you call it lack of sleep?

"Uh, cough, cough!" Old man Xin coughed twice awkwardly, as if to agree with Hang Shuheng's statement.

"What about this pheasant?"

"Uh... that, I brought back from the mountains." He couldn't tell them that he went to dig up their elders' graves last night and didn't sleep all night! Hunting pheasants was just a side job, "Girl, use them to make some snacks for lunch."

"okay!"

As usual, Hang Shuheng took Yangyang for a run around the village. After breakfast, he couldn't wait to go to the city to get the medicine with the prescription.

When he arrived at the pharmacy, Hang Shuheng unexpectedly met an acquaintance. "Constable Wang, what a coincidence, you are here to get medicine too?" He had a pretty good impression of Constable Wang.

Constable Wang felt a little embarrassed to see an acquaintance at this time, and he didn't know whether the other party had seen him bargaining with the pharmacy clerk.

"I haven't congratulated Hang Tongsheng on his brilliant comeback yet."

Upon hearing this, the clerk of the medicine shop said with admiration, "Are you the Hang Tongsheng who had Young Master Wan beaten with a stick in court? You dare to challenge the Wan family openly and not let yourself suffer any loss. You are the only one in this county. I really admire you."

Not to mention his buddies, even Constable Wang admired him equally. It was he who personally led people to capture Hang Shuheng. He even thought that he would be at the mercy of others if he was thrown into jail. Who could have imagined that this Hang Tongsheng not only did not suffer any loss himself, but also made the other party fall flat on his face.

"You two are too kind. It's not because I have any ability, but because the county magistrate is wise and brave, and he enforces the law impartially, that we are able to give justice to the next person."

"Hehe, Hang Tongsheng, you are too modest."

You have done something that many people want to do but dare not do. The waiter only thought about this in his heart and did not dare to speak it out loud. He saw Hang Shuheng holding the prescription in his hand and asked, "Are you getting the medicine?"

"Yes." Hang Shuheng handed him the prescription, "Please follow this prescription, take it once a day, and get the medicine for half a month."

"okay!"

The clerk took the prescription and glanced at it. He was about to get the medicine, but he saw Constable Wang still standing there. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas! Constable Wang, it's not that I don't want to make things convenient for you. It's just that you haven't paid off your previous debt, and now you want to buy it on credit again. This makes it very difficult for me."

Constable Wang was so embarrassed that he wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't do that. In this huge county, only this drugstore was kind enough to let him buy on credit.

"Can you please give me a favor? I can pay back part of it when I get my salary at the end of the month."

"You can pay part of it back with your monthly salary this month, but if you don't pay it back next month, you will have to come back to get medicine. By then, should I give it to you on credit or not?"

Upon hearing this, Constable Wang lowered his head in shame. The clerk was right, he had to get medicine every month, and his monthly salary was simply a drop in the bucket. The pharmacy had already done its best by letting him buy on credit for such a long time.

The waiter sighed again, and finally he softened his heart: "For your filial piety, you can take this month's medicine back first, and please find a way to pay off the previous credit as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for me to collect the bill in the future."

Constable Wang thought there was no hope of getting the medicine today, but he didn't expect such a reversal. He was immediately grateful and bowed to the waiter: "Thank you very much! I will find a way to pay off the remaining debt as soon as possible." He picked up the medicine, said goodbye to the waiter and Hang Shuheng, and was about to leave.

Hang Shuheng had just heard a rough idea, thinking that an elder in Wang's family was ill and needed to take medicine for a long time, and he had to go into debt with the pharmacy every month to buy medicine. It was rare for him to be a government official but not use his status to suppress others.

Shuisheng once told him about how Constable Wang helped him to pass on a message to the prison when his visit was refused. It was said that Constable Wang helped at that time, and Song Ning gave him a purse full of silver to express his gratitude, but he refused.

Now it seems that he is obviously short of money. I wonder if he will regret having rejected the purse.

"Please wait a moment!" When Constable Wang was about to step out of the pharmacy, Hang Shuheng stopped him.

Constable Wang stopped and looked at him, "Mr. Hang, what do you want?"

Hang Shuheng smiled and asked, "Constable Wang, how much money do you owe the pharmacy? I can lend it to you."

After these words were spoken, both Constable Wang and the clerk in the drug store were stunned. One of them forgot to leave, and the other forgot to get the medicine.

"You, you said you could lend me some money?" Constable Wang thought he had misheard and asked uncertainly.

Hang Shuheng nodded: "Not bad."

"But why?" Constable Wang knew his own limitations. He did not think their relationship was close enough to lend him money.

"When I was in prison, you helped me. Now that you are short of money, I am happy to help you out of this urgent need." Hang Shuheng paused, then smiled and said, "I have great faith in you, Constable Wang. I believe you are not someone who would default on your debts."

Detective Wang fell silent. No one had ever given him such great affirmation, and even he himself didn't know how long he could hold on.

The clerk in the drugstore really hoped that Wang would agree, so that he wouldn't have to worry about Wang not being able to pay the money for the medicine every month. But he was an outsider, so he had no right to speak. He could only look at this and that nervously.

After a long silence, Constable Wang bowed to Hang Shuheng and thanked him: "I am grateful for your kindness, Hang Tongsheng. I am Wang Jin. If you need my help in the future, please let me know."

"You're welcome!" Hang Shuheng asked, "How much silver do you need?"

"I would like to borrow ten taels of silver from Hang Tongsheng. Is that possible?"

"can."

"In that case, thank you very much." After that, he walked to the counter and said, "Hey, can I borrow a pen and paper?"

"Hey! Okay, okay!"

The shop assistant quickly prepared a pen and ink for Wang Jin to write down an IOU, signed it, and handed it to Hang Shuheng. "Hang Tongsheng, please keep this IOU. I will find a way to pay it back as soon as possible."

When Hang Shuheng took the IOU and looked at it, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He didn't expect that even interest was included. In order to show respect, he naturally would not refuse this IOU.

"I didn't expect Constable Wang to have such good handwriting."

Wang Jin smiled bitterly: "I went to school for a few years when I was young."

"I see."
