The four people outside had already discussed the basic rules. When Li Yunlan came out, Boss Qiu said, "What the Chen family wants now is that they will pay for the medical expenses and an additional ten taels of silver."
Li Yunlan said with a stern face: "They beat my family's Defu like this and they will compensate me ten taels? If I get a symptom, how will Defu survive in this life?"
Boss Qiu had known that this would be the result. Based on his understanding of this younger brother and sister, being rude would still account for three points! What's more, now that Defu has been beaten like this.
Brother Qiu returned to the table and shook his head. Father Chen knew that this was the case. Between paying out the money and entering the Yamen, he could only say cruelly: "Brother Qiu, I'm not satisfied with you either. I really can't afford more." , if we add more, we will have to sell grain, and my whole family will starve to death."
Village Chief Chen was obedient and quickly understood and said: "In this way, you are adding ten taels. If you don't have me to lend it to you, we as a village are not afraid of you running away. Brother, do you think this is okay?"
Boss Qiu went to find Li Yunlan again. After hearing what he said, Li Yunlan looked at Qiu Defu, who was sleeping on the bed. If the two families completely fell out, and if this kid forgives Mrs. Chen later, wouldn't he be the same person inside and outside?
Immediately he relaxed, and Boss Qiu also sighed and said: "For the sake of the children, I have to suffer a lot."
The man came back soon and brought a written receipt to her: "Keep this away. I'll ask the old doctor outside to check it and see if it's correct."
Father Chen also came over to say hello and said that he would send the money when he got back and that Mrs. Chen would also come over to take care of his son-in-law and let Defu recover from his injuries.
"Brother, the village chief is really troubling you. I have to thank you for running back and forth. I remember this feeling. You can't live without people here in Defu. When I get back, I will set up two tables to thank you." Li Yunlan said deeply. Bow down and give a big salute.
The village chief did not expect Mrs. Li to be like this: "As long as the child is fine, we will talk about the rest later. Take good care of Defu and call me if you need anything."
The two of them exhorted again and went back.
Father Chen arrived home just as the sun was setting. The three brothers of the Chen family all stood up nervously: "How is Dad?"
"Defu has two broken ribs and a broken leg. He has been unable to leave his bed for three months. The medical expenses alone cost more than ten taels. Alas, if he doesn't report it to the official, in addition to the ten taels for medical treatment, he will receive another twenty taels as compensation. .”
"What? Thirty taels? Let her report to the official, let her go, why doesn't she go and rob the dead old woman?" Chen Hai, the eldest son of Mr. Chen, roared angrily.
Two younger brothers, Chen He and Chen Hui, also jumped and shouted.
Father Chen slapped the drinking bowl on the ground: "Shut the hell up, report it to the official? Do you think this is just for fun? Did you beat the person? This dead girl can't get out after she enters the Yamen. It doesn’t matter if she gets a three-year sentence, whether my old Chen family wants to be a human being or not, it’s up to you whether you want to be a human being or not.”
The three of them were gritting their teeth, scratching their necks, and their faces were red with anger.
Father Chen was full of anger and said, "Why did I give birth to you idiots?"
"Go find your mother and your sister. Go quickly." Chen Hui shouted towards the kitchen.
The mother and daughter slowly went to the upper room, but before they entered, they heard: "I'll break your legs again, Moji."
As soon as the mother and daughter heard this, they immediately stepped into the house, and the three brothers wisely came out of the upper room.
Soon I heard the cry of the mother and daughter inside: "What I said to you last time you came back, you turned a deaf ear, right? And you, did you instigate it? You two are a waste of money, idiots , thirty taels, how long does it take for a family to save thirty taels."
"Dad, that damn old woman has been targeting me. When I gave birth to Baoyu, she rubbed me because she thought it was a girl. She didn't let me eat the eggs my mother gave me. Now that I have given birth to a son, I just let Baoyu take care of my brother, and she I'm not happy anymore. Now I care about girls again. Isn't it intentional? Which girl doesn't work at home and only has the money of her enemy?" Chen Yunniang was crying.
Father Chen was so angry that he laughed, and he resented his mother-in-law for such a trivial matter.
"Old man, what about the cruelty of the old woman? Yun Niang was pushed by her nephew. Her life is at stake so she could just extort money. This time she comes to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money. I'm going to fight her?" Youshi said fiercely.
Father Chen couldn't listen any more, so he slapped both mother and daughter in the face.
"Blackmail? Your son beat her while she was lying on the bed. Your daughter was unfilial and disrespectful and insulted her mother-in-law. This is something that people want less for the sake of two families and in-laws. You go... to find her and fight for her life? When you get to the Yamen, you will be sentenced If he is sentenced, our family will be ruined." Father Chen's chest bulged with anger.
He didn't even want to talk to this idiot mother and daughter.
He went to the house and took out the money and said, "Get up and come with me. Defu is lying on the bed and can't move. You are his mother-in-law and you should take care of him."
Mrs. Chen grabbed my mother and said, "I won't go. If I go now, the old widow will definitely not let me go. Mom, I won't go."
"That's your mother-in-law. You will be an enemy in life and a ghost in death. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with my Chen family."
After saying that, he dragged her out. Youshi knew that the old man was really angry, so she didn't dare to move. To be honest, she was also angry. Her daughter was still not as good as her son here.
The three sisters-in-law knew that they had to accompany her for thirty taels, and they all looked at the sister-in-law with resentment in their eyes.
Chen Yunniang was afraid and begged for mercy, so she bit her father's hand for the last time and ran out when he let go. However, her foot stumbled and hit the door, causing her to fall unconscious.
Father Chen had no choice but to give up and let his two sons carry her back to the house. He also called his younger son: "Send this money to the old doctor's house in Daliu Village and hand it over to Granny Yunniang in person. Then you can say that your sister is regretful at home." The wall has been broken, and now my parents and family are all busy trying to get her to forgive her for the sake of Yun Niang’s sincere repentance.”
Chen Hui took the money bag and nodded before heading to Daliu Village.
Li Yunlan had already started to feed Qiu Defu the medicine for the second time. After the medicine was finished, he took a sugar ball and fed it to his mouth.
"Mother~"
"I promise you, how sweet or not."
Qiu Defu smiled and nodded, sweet, so sweet.
At this time, the little medicine boy led Chen Hui in and turned his face away in anger.
Chen Hui told what his father told him, and Li Yunlan took the money: "Is your sister okay? In this case, let her have a good life at home, and she won't be needed here."
Chen Hui saw that Qiu Defu's body was wrapped in gauze, and he felt that his attack was too dark: "Brother-in-law, I'm really sorry. When you get better, if you fight back, I will never fight back."
He and Qiu Defu were similar in age, and they usually had the most fun. When Qiu Defu saw him, he ignored him and left when he knew he was angry.
"He said your wife hit a wall."
"It would be better to die."
"Nonsense. She gave you a son and a daughter. She didn't feel sorry for you."
Qiu Defu pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "But she scolded you, you are my mother, scolding you is not enough, you might as well scold me! If I am indifferent like this, am I still a human being?"
""Okay...Okay, mom knows, don't cry, you are still crying now that you are a father. "Li Yunlan wiped his tears.
"Mom, when they beat me, Yun Niang was standing nearby. Her father even stepped forward to stop her, but she didn't even move. I hated her so much at that time."
Li Yunlan also had a sore nose: "Don't think too much, let's take good care of ourselves first. Baoyu and Chenggong are still at home waiting for you to return."
Qiu Defu closed his eyes, tears still flowing from the corners of his eyes. Not only did his body hurt, but his heart ached even more. He didn't know what was wrong with this cruel woman.
