Yue Jiaojiao squeezed Zhao Zhan’s hand.
Even Lizheng thought that they should lend money to Zhao Wencai to go see a doctor.
They still had to live in this village in the future, so it was impossible for them to make enemies of everyone in the village.
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t mind helping Zhao Zhan establish a good image. Only by doing so would they not face so much resistance when they called on the big guys to plant other crops in the future.
When Lizheng drove the ox cart to Zhao Kuazi’s house, it was a mess inside.
Wencai’s wife was angry. She had worked hard for the entire year like an old bull, but when she turned around, she couldn’t even see a single copper coin. The Zhao family’s daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were fighting, and Wencai’s daughter-in-law had been slapped by Kuazi in the scuffle. Then, he heard Zhao Wencai cry out in pain, and only then did Xiaowan make up her mind and stomp her feet to catch their attention.
“Don’t mess around! Stop that right now!” When Yang Lizheng saw the bunch, he couldn’t help but frown. He felt annoyed just by looking at them. He couldn’t help but glare at the man who was squatting in the corner. “You’re a man. Can’t you control the women in the house?”
He shrunk his neck and said in a muffled voice, “I can’t control them either. No one listens to me at all.”
“Alright, alright, I’m not here to talk nonsense with you. Carry Zhao Wencai onto the ox cart and go find a doctor to look at his leg. Otherwise, if the work in the field becomes heavy in the future, he won’t be able to do it with a lame leg!”
Their uncle turned his head away and didn’t say anything.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Yang Lizheng panted heavily and looked at the aunt. “Are you not going to save your son’s leg? If you don’t want to save him, then just let him be crippled!”
“There’s no such thing as a rest day here.”
“Since Lizheng is here today, I would just like to make something clear.” Wenshou’s wife spat on the ground and glared at the aunt fiercely. “I don’t know how much money we have left, but the money for his medical treatment can not be shared equally among the three families.
“I don’t care if this money is from you or borrowed from others, Wencai’s family should pay it back themselves!”
“I’ve always treated you well!” Wencai’s wife exploded when she heard this. She pointed at her sister-in-law’s nose and scolded, “As your sister-in-law, I usually do the most work at home. Sometimes, I turn a blind eye when you want to slack off. Now that Wencai’s leg has fallen, you refuse to help. Do you have no shame?”
“I’m not targeting you.” Wenshou’s wife rolled her eyes indifferently. “It’s just that as you can see, there’s no money we can spare right now. Your husband is also a bottomless pit of trouble. You can’t drag the three families to die with you.”
“Why don’t we just go separate ways? Didn’t Mother compensate Zhao Zhan with more than thirty silver? Let’s divide it equally among the three families. Can’t you just take ten silver to get his leg’s checked?”
“Split up the family? Do you think I’m dead and you’re here to ask for a will?” Kuazi sat on the ground, slapped her thigh, and pointed to the sky, and cursed, “You guys have all grown up, haven’t you?! Do you all want to side with that ingrate Zhao Zhan? I’m telling you, don’t even think about it!
“Let Zhao Zhan pay for the money used to treat Wencai’s legs. There’s no need to pay from our own pocket. As for the money that was paid, I’ll return the leather to Zhao Zhan and have him give me the money!”
“In your dreams.” Yue Jiaojiao stood outside the door and couldn’t bear to listen any further. She walked into the courtyard and said sarcastically, “I’m the one who decides Zhao Zhan’s silver. Since when did you get to have such a say?”
