Upon hearing this, a chill flashed across Yang Chuxia’s brows. It was indeed that family, truly shaless.
"What shall the lady do now?"
"Do the people of the Liu Family know it was the elder daughter-in-law who spread it?"
Ye Yi just shook his head.
But then he added, "But they should know by now. I gave so silver to that person from Liu Village to go and tell them."
Yang Chuxia nodded in response.
However, what neither Yang Chuxia nor Ye Yi expected was that the people of the Liu Family were truly infuriating.
It even felt a bit psychopathic.
After Ye Yi conveyed the ssage to the Liu Family, once they learned it was the elder daughter-in-law who had caused the trouble, Ms.Liu Junior’s older brother was rather normal, grabbing his wife and giving her a beating.
Although Ms.Liu Junior’s mother was angry, she thought about the fact that this was all for their granddaughter, and in a way for the Liu Family too—after all, if the granddaughter was well, the Liu Family would be well too, so Ms.Liu Junior’s mother rely scolded her a few tis.
But Ms.Liu Junior’s younger brother thought his sister-in-law did the right thing.
Therefore, Ms.Liu Junior’s younger brother praised his sister-in-law on the side, thinking she was good at scheming.
On top of that, since the brother’s wife was a notch prettier than his sister-in-law, it tipped her jealousy over the edge, and she promptly spouted sarcastic remarks.
How could Ms.Liu Junior’s sister-in-law not catch the subtext?
Thus, the two of them started arguing, trading barbs back and forth, which eventually escalated into a fight. To make matters worse, Ms.Liu Junior’s younger brother, being a loafer, sided with his sister-in-law while breaking up the fight. Damn it, instead of helping his own wife, he actually sided with his sister-in-law.
This truly set things off; watch as his wife made a ruckus and hurled insults, eventually angering Ms.Liu Junior’s father, an old man whose health was not that great to begin with, causing him to fall ill on the spot.
When soone is sick, they must call for a doctor.
The doctor ca, took the pulse, made a diagnosis, and prescribed dicine.
But then the problem arose—there was no money. If it were just ordinary dical expenses, the family could afford it, but it happened that among the dicines prescribed, so were expensive, and they couldn’t afford it.
Not all doctors were as upright as Uncle Cai; for example, the one who treated the Liu Family was not.
Ordinary dicine would have sufficed, but he prescribed the most expensive ones, and the prescription cost a total of two taels of silver.
If it had been any other ti, the Liu Family might actually have had two taels, but just before the New Year, the younger son had gotten into trouble and squandered all the family’s silver.
What to do without money? They couldn’t just ignore the old man’s illness. Although the family was dysfunctional and their words were sharp and an, they still cared for the old man.
So, Ms.Liu Junior’s younger brother had a thought and set his sights on his second sister’s ho.
His second sister’s family had money, not to ntion two taels, they even had twenty. Moreover, their father was not just one person’s father; his second sister should contribute so money as well.
With that thought, he couldn’t sit still any longer and ran straight to Yangshu Village.
Upon arrival in Yangshu Village, as soon as Yang Dayong saw him, his face darkened and he slamd the gate shut.
Ms.Liu Junior’s younger brother, who had a violent temper and was not as generous as his older brother, resembled Yang Xiao’an from back in the day—a calculating lowlife.
Imdiately, he started making a scene and rolling on the ground in front of Land Officer Yang’s house, shouting about how Land Officer Yang’s family looked down on poor relatives, not even letting him, the brother of their daughter-in-law, in the door.
Then he cried, saying their father was sick at ho without money for treatnt, and he just wanted to borrow so from his sister’s family. He wasn’t saying he wouldn’t repay. How could his brother-in-law refuse to let him in?
Those unaware of the situation began knocking on the door to help.
When Yang Dayong opened the door again and saw so many people standing outside and heard everyone persuading him about family ties and not lacking that bit of silver, that it was a matter of life and death, and to help if possible—he relented.
