Yu Liulang’s intermittent words made Mr. Yu, Old Mrs. Yu, and everyone else present understand the course of events clearly.
Mr. Yu let out a heavy sigh and took a long ti before he spoke.
"Second daughter-in-law, ever since you married into this family, we have not mistreated you. You always say we are partial, but you should ask yourself honestly.
Every morning, who gives you the egg in your bowl? Think again, did Xiao Hua have one in her bowl?"
Mr. Yu was deeply pained at this mont, a good daughter-in-law had actually tried to harm his son.
The reason was just for the managent rights of a tea garden.
The Old Yu Family’s property, the elderly couple had long said, was to be divided equally among everyone, with no favoritism.
Yet the second daughter-in-law went and did such a thing.
Mrs. Li, hearing this, suddenly knelt to the ground.
"Father, I know I was wrong. I was wrong. Please forgive , give one more chance, I won’t dare again..."
Mrs. Li began to act pitiful, starting to cry!
Feng Xiaohua’s affair of not having a child, secretly being pregnant, did not hold; if she was divorced, the tea garden would really go to Feng Xiaohua.
"Forgive? If I forgive you, what will beco of my son? So young, after you gave him that drug, can he still have children in the future?"
As he spoke, Mr. Yu himself started to shed tears.
His poor son married at twenty-six, finally found a wife, yet was drugged by soone.
Originally, he hoped to have grandchildren, but now even that hope seed lost.
"Mrs. Li, you’re jealous, drugged your brother-in-law, and suppressed your sister-in-law. This house can’t keep you anymore.
If you’re wise, pack your things and go back to Li Family Village yourself.
Otherwise, I’ll tell the whole village, let everyone know your good deeds, and there will be no one willing to marry you again."
"No... no, father, you can’t let Er Lang divorce . I’m Tiancai’s mother, my son can’t live without . Tiancai..." Mrs. Li attempted to attract her son’s attention by shouting.
But Yu Tiancai had long been sent away by Mu Shuangshuang along with a few others, and would not appear now.
"Tiancai... Tiancai..."
Mrs. Li shouted until her throat was hoarse, but Yu Tiancai still did not appear. She began to curse: "Yu Tiancai, you useless thing, co out here imdiately, where are you hiding?
Yu Tiancai... you ineffectual thing, you want to be like your father, not care about anything? Co out, or I’ll beat you to death."
Yu Tiancai did not appear, and Mrs. Li’s hope was shattered.
She began to cry again, crying loudly to Mr. Yu: "Father, I’ve been married into the Old Yu Family for more than ten years, from a young girl to a woman of no worth, now even if I wanted to find another man, no one would want .
I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t be jealous, I shouldn’t have used drugs, I won’t dare again in the future. Please don’t let Er Lang divorce , I’ll work like an ox for the Old Yu Family, I beg you!"
Mr. Yu took a few steps back and said, "If you had known, why did you do it? From the mont you drugged the Sixth Son, you were no longer my daughter-in-law. Quickly pack your things and leave!"
"Er Lang, say sothing, won’t you plead with father and ask him not to chase out?" Mrs. Li turned to her husband for help.
Yu Erlang continuously backed away.
He had no intention of keeping Mrs. Li.
All these years, words like useless, ineffective, and waste had left a shadow on Yu Erlang.
Whenever soone said those words, he would tremble, always feeling they were talking about him.
Now it was also ti for him to start anew.
"Juhua, when you make mistakes, you must be punished. You repeatedly sow discord between and the Sixth Son. I can no longer tolerate you here, you should leave!"
Mrs. Li fell backward and fainted.
Yu Erlang did not step forward to help because he was too familiar with Mrs. Li’s tricks.
If he went up, she would definitely grab his hand.
Yu Si Niang, not aware of the trickery, stepped forward to help and was indeed grabbed by Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li, eyes still closed, called out there: "Er Lang, I know you still have in your heart, right?"
"Juhua, it’s !" Yu Si Niang said.
Mrs. Li’s hand instantly loosened, and her eyes opened.
This ti, no matter what she said, no one listened, as everyone left the room, leaving Mrs. Li alone in the room ranting and wailing.
...
...
Yu Liulang clearly detailed the events to several others who were not aware.
The elder mbers of the Yu Family were filled with emotion.
What they thought was a happy event turned out not to be good.
The Old Yu Family lost a daughter-in-law.
"But what about Liulang? My son, what will you do in the future?" Old Mrs. Yu slapped her thighs and began to cry.
"Old Mrs. Yu, no need to worry; if your son takes a few doses of dicine and rests for a few days, he’ll recover."
Zhang Huai Shu and Lu Yuanfeng walked in from outside the main hall together.
"Is what you’re saying true?"
Everyone in the room was quite excited, including Yu Liulang himself.
"It’s true! I know what drug was used, although potent, it hasn’t completely destroyed a man’s vitality. After a few doses of dicine to relieve your son’s toxin, he should be fine."
Both Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng had faith in Zhang Huai Shu’s dical skills.
At last, everyone could relax their anxious hearts.
"Grandpa Zhang, thank you so much this ti, please stay for lunch, it’s almost ready." Mu Shuangshuang stood up and said.
Zhang Huai Shu’s rit in this matter was significant and deserved a reward.
"Haha, you clever girl, I, an old man, can’t compare to you." Zhang Huai Shu laughed heartily.
Then he asked, "Do you want to learn dicine from ? Not seeking to be a miracle worker, but to strengthen the body."
"But... isn’t traditional Chinese dicine supposed to be learned from a young age? Shuangshuang is already fourteen, it might be too late?" Mu Shuangshuang hesitated a bit.
"Who says it’s too late? Learning anything doesn’t depend on the length of ti but on your comprehension.
Even if you don’t succeed, there’s nothing to be ashad of, at least you tried."
"You’re right; then I’ll learn dicine from Grandpa Zhang, but you have to teach how to make that mosquito-repelling sachet first." Mu Shuangshuang laughed.
Back then, Lu Yuanfeng had given Mu Shuangshuang two sachets filled with Chinese dicine, which she carried every ti she went to the latrine.
This way, she wouldn’t be bitten by mosquitoes every ti she went.
"That thing Fengzi knows, I only guided a bit." Zhang Huai Shu said.
"Haha, isn’t that even better? Shuangshuang, learning with Fengzi, might even make progress together." Yu Liulang chid in.
The Old Yu Family was filled with laughter.
This ti, the light-hearted atmosphere in the Old Yu Family was finally restored.
After lunch, Mu Shuangshuang asked Lu Yuanfeng to drive the ox cart to take the whole family back.
She herself spent a wen in Yu Family Village, took the ox cart to the town to pick up Xue Zheng, and returned to Er Gui Village at dusk, just to hear that Mu Xiangxiang had also returned.
