"No!" Li Daniu shouted, "Not a penny less!"
"Not a word less?!" Commander Li glanced at Jiang Wan. Seeing that Jiang Wan was indifferent, he hit him twice more and cursed, "You are trying to force the Jiang family siblings to death."
"The Jiang family siblings are young and their parents are dead. Even if you force them to death, you still don't have so much money?!"
"Besides, Dr. Jiang is practicing healing in the village. Even your family, Li Daniu, has received a lot of kindness from Dr. Jiang, right? Is this how you repay her now?"
Jiang Wan listened quietly. She didn't know whether Commander Li was really doing her best, or whether he was just like Li Daniu.
Li Daniu was hurt by the leader Li's dragon-headed cane. He held his head and said, "One hundred taels! No more."
"Captain Li, I am very sincere. I lost half of it to Jiang Wan in one go."
Jiang Wan looked at Li Daniu. Kneeling behind him was the pale Feng Shui. She seemed to have suffered a major blow. She knelt on the ground silently, like a wandering spirit.
She would occasionally look up, but when her eyes fell on Li Daniu, there would be a flash of resentment and fear in her eyes.
Although Jiang Wan has little life experience, he is smart and agile.
With just one glance, she was sure that there was definitely something fishy about Li Xiaobao's death, and it probably had nothing to do with Li Daniu.
She lowered her eyes and pondered, but the clay pot containing Xiaobao was now protected airtight, and she had no chance of touching it. Moreover, there were so many people here, and she would be stopped as soon as she made any move.
Maybe her brother could give it a try, but she couldn't risk it.
She wasn't sure what these people would do.
"Doctor Jiang? Jiang Wan?" The village commander called Jiang Wan several times but did not see any reaction from Jiang Wan. He called out louder, and Jiang Wan finally responded.
The village leader said earnestly, "Doctor Jiang, you are willing to take a step back and only ask you for one hundred taels of silver. Do you think this is feasible?"
Take a step back? Although Jiang Wan is simple, she is not stupid.
After suffering several losses, I am finally coming back to my senses.
Li Daniu first said a fantasy figure, and then after discussion, cut it in half. Is this called taking a step back?
I'm afraid the price he mentioned was the price he wanted.
If she gives out one hundred taels, her family's savings will be reduced by more than half.
That was all the hard-earned money earned by her mother, her father, she and Jiang Ling day and night.
Jiang Wan cried and said, "Captain, it's not that I don't want to give it, but that my family really doesn't have that much money."
"My parents passed away one after another, and I spent a lot of money on their affairs. Now my brother and I are struggling to survive, so how can we have so much money?"
"This..." the village commander thought for a while and asked, "How much can you take out now?"
Jiang Wan wiped her tears and said, "It's only five taels."
"Five taels?!" Li Daniu didn't believe it, "How can your family only have this little money?"
"There are only my younger brother and me in my family, and I love buying medical skills, so I can't save any money at all."
Leader Li thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. You will give Li Daniu five taels today. From now on, you will give Li Daniu's family one tael of silver every month until the one hundred taels are paid off. How about that?"
Jiang Wan didn't say yes or no, she just cried and took out five taels from the room to compensate Li Daniu.
Li Daniu got the money and left with everyone in the Li family with a calm expression. He originally thought he could get a big sum, but he only got five taels. But then he thought about it, Jiang Wan would have to give him one tael every month in the future, and he felt that There was another flash of joy.
His eyes turned to the dark clay pot, and a flash of sadness flashed in his heart.
But this sadness quickly dissipated. Now that he has money, what woman will not have him in the future?
If you have a woman, don’t you want to have as many children as you want?
Li Daniu looked back at Feng Shui, who had a sad face next to him, and felt upset.
After they left, Jiang Ling clumsily wiped Jiang Wan's tears with a handkerchief, "Sister, everyone here bullies you, shall we leave this village?"
"Let's go somewhere else and I can hunt to feed my sister."
Jiang Wan thought about what had happened recently, and also thought about the situation outside the village. The world is not going well nowadays, where can it not be difficult?
This is at least the place where she was born and raised, and her parents are also here.
"Leng'er, let sister think about it, okay?"
"Okay." Leng Yao said, "No matter what decision my sister makes, Ling Yao will follow her."
Today, Jiang Wan went to bed early. She planned to confirm something after everyone in the village went to bed.
In her sleep, she seemed to hear someone asking in her ear.
"Jiang Wan, do you regret it? You obviously saved that child, but you were slandered by his parents."
"Do you regret saving him?"
Jiang Wan was about to speak when the scene in front of her eyes changed, and she was back to the afternoon when she rescued Xiaobao yesterday. The sun was blazing overhead, and a child was lying in the ditch at the foot of the hillside. His life or death was unknown.
"Let's go, don't mind your own business."
"If you save him, his parents will not thank you, but will cause trouble for you."
"Anyway, it's not your fault that this kid fell here. You didn't push him. What do you care about him?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Why don't you pretend you didn't see anything and go home for dinner? Your brother is still waiting for you."
The chaotic sounds kept ringing in her head, giving her a headache.
Who is speaking? Ghost or demon?
She looked at Xiaobao in the ditch and walked over without hesitation. She answered her in her heart, "No matter what happens, I can't turn a blind eye now that this person has fallen in front of me."
"I obviously had the ability to save her, but I refused to save her. How is it any different from killing her?"
"Have you forgotten? You saved him, but how did his father make things difficult for you?"
"Why do you care about his life or death? If you save him, he will still die, right?"
"But walk my way with no regrets."
Jiang Wan didn't know what happened. Is this her dream?
But why is everything so real? The sun in the sky made the top of her head heat up, and the hunger in her belly made her almost faint.
She handed the child over to Feng Shui again. She looked at Feng Shui's retreating back and suddenly called out to her.
Feng Shui looked back, "Is there anything else Dr. Jiang can do?"
Jiang Wan trotted forward and said, "Let me go back with you. If Xiaobao's injury worsens, I will be there to take care of him."
When Feng Shui heard this, he would not refuse. He said with red eyes, "Thank you, Dr. Jiang."
Jiang Wan followed Feng Shui back to their home. Li Daniu had not returned home yet. There were only Feng Shui, her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and a young uncle at home.
Jiang Wan had been sitting at Li's house, and Li Daniu came back in the evening.
He heard that Jiang Wan was here and his attitude towards her was neither salty nor cold. However, he was very worried when he learned that Li Xiaobao was injured.
She waited until Li Xiaobao regained consciousness, and then checked the injury on the back of Li Xiaobao's head before leaving with peace of mind.
She looked back at Li Xiaobao's home. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the village was pitch dark. The oil lamp that was lit in his home had a soft and warm light, like hope in the dark night.
I don’t know if egoism is prevalent today. If I write about a heroine like this, I will be called a “Holy Mother.”
But I want to show mercy to others by being the "Holy Mother" who is scolded. I hope that those who preach with their own lives should not be scolded. They may look stupid and stupid, but most ordinary people in history are such people. protected.
Gods who care about the common people should not just pay lip service. They should remain consistent no matter they are slandered or suffered, praised or presented with flowers. Only then can they be called saints. This is also the image of God in my mind.
