Yang Dayong was instantly confused when he heard this. What was going on, and why couldn’t he understand?
It was only after the villagers explained it to him once more that he finally grasped the situation.
He watched Ms. Liu Junior’s brother with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. Her little uncle really was sothing else; why hadn’t he noticed before that the Liu Family was so shaless?
Well, this was already the second ti in a short period that Yang Dayong had felt this way.
Can you believe it? Your family beat up, even injured my mother, and I haven’t even asked you for dical expenses, yet you have the nerve to co and ask to borrow money from us?
If you put it nicely, it’s borrowing money, but if not, do you think you can even repay it? Do you really take for a fool who doesn’t know how much money Ms. Liu Junior has given to the Liu Family?
Thinking of the injury still on his mother’s forehead, Yang Dayong remained silent and reluctant to give any money.
Suddenly, the Land Officer’s wife sohow caught wind of the situation outside and, along with Ms. Liu Junior, rushed to the doorway.
The Land Officer’s wife was fuming with anger. Regardless of the situation at hand, the sight of Ms. Liu Junior’s brother showing up just set her off into a torrent of curses.
How could Ms. Liu Junior’s brother not respond? He repeated the story of their father falling ill.
Pressuring his sister to give money, after all, he was their real father. Ms. Liu Junior naturally wanted to contribute, but she didn’t have much private money left, having given her savings to her family during the New Year’s. Now, she thought of asking Yang Dayong, who was tight-faced and torn, stuck between his father-in-law and his mother.
Seeing her daughter-in-law in such a state, the Land Officer’s wife was imdiately enraged and began scolding her. Although Ms. Liu Junior was usually well-behaved, having grown up in the Liu Family and been influenced by her mother and sisters-in-law, how could she not argue back?
Anxious about her father, Ms. Liu Junior got into a heated argunt with the Land Officer’s wife. The back-and-forth escalated, and Yang Dayong couldn’t take sides.
The Land Officer’s wife was furious. She considered herself quite fair to her daughter-in-law, yet there she was, talking back in front of so many people. Whose daughter-in-law acted like this?
And this daughter-in-law’s brother, if you want to borrow money, then borrow politely. What’s with causing a scene at the doorstep? Can’t you speak gently?
And you, sympathizing with your father and wanting your son to cough up money, why not wait until the doors are closed to discuss it with him? Wouldn’t he give it to you anyway?
But why cause a commotion now? Which daughter-in-law dares to talk back to her mother-in-law?
Furthermore, the Land Officer’s wife always took pride in her poise, and over the years, no one had ever laughed at their family. But now, so overwheld by the embarrassnt, her eyes rolled back, her mouth twitched, and she fainted.
And so, three days later, Uncle Cai paid another visit.
But this ti the situation wasn’t as good as before.
After preparing dicine and conducting an examination, the Land Officer’s wife soon woke up.
But that’s when the real problem began. Yang Dayong found that his mother couldn’t speak and her limbs were immobile. She could only roll her eyes in desperation, trying to say sothing, but nothing ca out.
Once Uncle Cai saw her condition, he realized it was a stroke!
"Uncle Cai, is there any cure for my mother?" At that mont, Yang Dayong was so angry he felt like killing soone.
"It’s hard to say." Once they were outside, assuming the Land Officer’s wife couldn’t hear them, Uncle Cai spoke softly, "Your mother is old, and her temper has always been strong. She’s used to having her way, and when sothing like this happens, it’s no surprise she got so worked up. Now, all you can do is take good care of her. She absolutely must not get agitated again. Otherwise, the stroke could beco much worse, and there might even be..."
