The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 24: Lame Leg

The villagers of Qingshan Village knew that Sheng Wanqiu had always been tough, but they didn't expect that now that his parents were gone, he had become even more brutal.

Without saying a word, he kicked him, as if to make him crawl out even if the king of heaven came.

Liu Juan lay on the ground, trembling with pain, and she had a hard time swallowing the blood in her mouth.

"Everyone, please be a witness! I was fine in the yard, and my aunt rushed in and wanted to beat me. I was just defending myself. I'm not afraid of being reported to the county magistrate!"

"Liu Juan, let me tell you, I will beat up any elder who picks on me!"

"If you want to go crazy, just close the door and go home and go crazy. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will chop off your hands and feet!"

Sheng Wanqiu picked up the axe on the ground and chopped off a tree trunk as thick as a bowl in one go. The momentum made the onlookers break out in cold sweats.

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Haoyu, who was squeezed in the crowd, shuddered all over.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, my brother Zhaodi wouldn't have had his leg bitten off by a wild boar!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave!" Liu Juan stood up with difficulty and started to act like a spoiled child towards Sheng Wanqiu.

"It's hilarious. Did I put a knife to her neck and force her to go up the mountain?"

"You were jealous when you saw me digging ginseng and selling it for money, so you sent your three daughters to the mountain. Do you think I don't know?"

"Don't forget, you and I live so close to each other. I already know what you are planning."

"You want to blackmail me for money? And you're pretending to be a good girl, bah!"

"Leave or not, if you dare to step into my yard again, I will tie up Sheng Yaozu and throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves tomorrow!"

Mrs. Sheng stood coldly in the yard, as if she didn't see the confrontation between her eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Liu Juan didn't dare to make trouble anymore at this moment. Sheng Yaozu was her lifeblood. Sheng Wanqiu, that little bitch, really dared to do such a thing. She was really scared.

"Humph! I won't talk to you anymore. I'll settle the score with you when your uncle comes back!"

Although he was scared, he still said something strong. He covered his stomach which was hurt by the kick and uttered some harsh words, then he slowly went home.

Sheng Lai Di and Sheng Pan Di only then realized what was going on and quickly followed her into the yard.

When the villagers saw that the main characters had left, they knew there was no more show to watch, so they dispersed.

"Grandma, you won't blame me, will you?" Sheng Wanqiu closed the gate and walked in to ask Mrs. Sheng softly.

"Didn't I tell you? You will be the head of this family from now on. Whatever you say is what counts. I will just wait and enjoy the good life!"

"Don't worry, your uncle is a coward. He won't dare to cause trouble for you."

"We'll move out as soon as our new house is built. This troublemaker gives me a headache!"

Mrs. Sheng looked at the yard next door with disdain on her face.

Sheng Wanqiu hugged the little old lady's shoulders, leaned her head on her shoulder affectionately, and said sweetly: "Grandma, you are the best grandma in the world!"

"Okay! Don't crush my earrings, I cherish them very much!" Mrs. Sheng pushed her head away and touched her earlobe.

Sheng Wanqiu: ??? Sheng Zhaodi's leg was still broken, her calf bitten off by the wild boar. When the village head went there, it was already dark. He had to knock on the door of a clinic to get treatment, but it was still too late.

The only way to save her life is to amputate her lower leg. When Sheng Dashan heard the doctor say this, he felt dizzy. His eldest daughter with a broken leg was really useless.

When he learned that the cost of amputation, life-saving treatment and subsequent treatment would be ten taels of silver, he almost fell to the ground!
This is ten taels of silver, which is an income that a family cannot save even if they don’t eat or drink for two years!

He didn't have enough money on him, so he had to beg and plead until he paid three taels of silver and signed a contract promising to go back and get it the next day. Only then did the doctor agree to treat Sheng Zhaodi first.

These three taels of silver were given to him when the family was divided. He was afraid that Liu Juan would support her parents' family, so he kept it for himself. Now, he spent it all at once and even owed the clinic seven taels of silver.

Early the next morning, Sheng Dashan came back and knelt directly at the door of Sheng Wanqiu's house.

This was the solution he had been thinking about all night.

Since he rushed back in the morning, the villagers also learned that Sheng Zhaodi was going to become a cripple.

Everyone knew that Sheng Dashan owed money. When they saw him kneeling at the door of Sheng Po's house, they knew what he was planning. He must be here to borrow money.

When Sheng Wanqiu opened the gate and saw Sheng Dashan, she knew that there were two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. One was here to extort money, and the other was here to borrow money. In short, both of them were like throwing meat buns at dogs and never coming back.

She walked right past him, slung her bamboo basket over her shoulder and left without even glancing at him.

Her money is hers alone. If she doesn't want to lend it, no one can stop her.

The villagers all saw her kicking Liu Juan yesterday. When they saw her come out, they thought that this girl would beat up Sheng Dashan, but she didn't even look at him and just walked away.

Sheng Dashan was also a little surprised. His niece had money in her hands. Could it be that she was planning to watch him die without helping?

How could he be so cruel? After all, he is her uncle.

He was about to call Sheng Wanqiu when his mother, Mrs. Sheng, came out from the small courtyard, looking like she was in a very bad mood.

Mrs. Sheng was secretly shocked. This was exactly the same as what Wanqiu said last night. Sure enough, the eldest son came to borrow money, and he used the trick of torturing himself. Wanqiu said this was called moral kidnapping.

He looked at his eldest son deeply and threw a purse at him.

"Children are debts. I don't think I owe any of you anything. I treat you brothers fairly."

"Since you have come to me for help today, it is impossible for me, as your mother, to remain indifferent."

"Here are six taels of silver. Three taels are mine, and the other three taels are yours. I give them all to you."

"I know what you're thinking. Wanqiu is the boss of this family now. Her money is hers, and I have no say in the matter. As for the money from the second brother's division of the family, even if the second brother died, he has already severed the brotherly relationship we've had for so many years."

"You don't have to pay back the money. If you have any problems in the future, don't come to me. I'm old and can't help you anymore."

"Let's go! Let's go!" Mrs. Sheng sighed and turned back to the yard.

Sheng Dashan's face turned red with embarrassment at what his mother said. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only silently pick up the purse on the ground and go back home.

Soon, Liu Juan's cries were heard from his yard. It sounded like she was being beaten severely.

"If you don't go and get the silver back from me today, I will divorce you!"
