Chapter 865: Chapter 865: Scummy Brother and Scummy Father, Get Lost (11)

The diagnosis didn’t reveal anything unusual, and the doctor couldn’t prescribe any medicine. The Meng Family still had to pay for his travel expenses.

Meng Wengan didn’t believe it, grabbing the doctor to ask him to save Meng Chongxi, but the doctor was full of helplessness; this kind of strange illness was truly something he had never seen, the pulse was normal.

"Perhaps you can look for another doctor."

Meng Wengan had no choice but to let go of the doctor and hastily seek another. This time, he invited all the doctors in town, not caring how much it would cost in effort fees.

He only knew that Meng Chongxi was the pillar of the family; if the latter fell, he would have no way to repay the gambling debt.

In the twenty-plus years he had been alive, he estimated he hadn’t been as busy for this family as he was today.

"Indeed, I can’t see anything."

"I haven’t diagnosed anything either."

"The symptoms are very strange... or perhaps it’s my lack of skill in medicine."

The invited doctors couldn’t diagnose Meng Chongxi’s illness and eventually left.

Meng Wengan was drenched, completely engulfed in despair. The illness wasn’t cured, and the original thirty taels were further depleted.

The thought of having his fingers cut off made his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Qiann Yan’s back.

"I’ll go look for other doctors."

Meng Wengan didn’t wait for the family’s consent and turned around to run outside.

But he wasn’t looking for a doctor.

It was already noon, and tomorrow was the day for repaying the debt. The people at the gambling house weren’t just joking; if he couldn’t come up with the silver, they would definitely chop off his fingers.

He went to see the brothel people, deciding to negotiate directly with them to sell Qiann Yan.

He had been to the brothel, more than once. As a frivolous scholar, not going to such a place would be a joke.

He was confident that none of the girls in the brothel were as beautiful as his sister, Meng Qianyan.

He clenched his fist tightly, knowing selling his sister would definitely clear his gambling debts. Once he made his fortune in the future, he’d bring her back to enjoy a good life and treat her well.

This was something he had no choice over; he aspired to attain official status in the future and couldn’t afford to have his fingers chopped off.

Even if she lost her purity, once he became an official, no one would dare to look down on her.

With such feelings in mind, Meng Wengan found the brothel Mother, expressing his intentions. He was familiar with the place, and the brothel Mother knew him too.

In the afternoon, Meng Wengan returned.

He also brought the brothel Mother and the brothel’s guards, a large group.

"Let’s say up front; if your sister isn’t as you described, I won’t pay as much," the brothel Mother warned, with a sneer in her tone.

She had seen many people like Meng Wengan. Over the years, countless girls in the brothel were sold in like this.

Meng Wengan hastily guaranteed that his sister was really beautiful and would look even better once she matured in a couple of years.

The brothel Mother, half-believing, arrived at the Meng Family’s door, and such commotion disturbed those inside the house.

Mrs. Zhang emerged from the kitchen, planning to ask Meng Wengan if he had found a doctor, but the incredibly conspicuous presence of the brothel Mother and those people made her abruptly stop.

The overwhelming scent of cosmetics turned Mrs. Zhang’s face pale. She looked at Meng Wengan in disappointment: "Didn’t you go to find a doctor?"

"Mother," Meng Wengan called softly, knowing what he had done would upset Mrs. Zhang, lacking confidence, "tomorrow is the day to repay the money."

"So?" Mrs. Zhang’s eyes reddened instantly, tears uncontrollably rolled down, and she cried out with heart-wrenching sobs, "Are you going to sell your own sister? Meng Wengan, where is your conscience? Yan’er has endured enough hardships since she was young, and now because of you, her purity is about to be lost. Mother begs you, do whatever you want, please give Yan’er a chance to live!"
