Zhao and the late Mr. Chen had two sons and one daughter. Chen was the second child, with an older brother, Chen Ping, and a younger sister, Chen Xianghua.

Chen Ping and Li Manying had two boys, Chen Gen and Chen Shu. They were treated like the apple of their eyes and were spoiled to the point of being ignorant of the immensity of the world.

Chen Gen went home on vacation yesterday and insisted on taking Chen Shu to the mountains to hunt wild boars, saying that he had promised his classmates.

As it was almost dark, neither of them had returned home yet. Chen Ping was anxious and asked Chen An to go with the villagers to look for them.

When the villagers found the two men shivering and hiding in a tree and there was no danger around them, they called them down.

As a result, Chen Gen suddenly got crazy and jumped directly onto Chen An. Although the tree was not high, Chen Gen's weight was enough to smash Chen An's legs and make them bleed.

The doctor examined him and said that his condition was quite serious. If he wanted to recover as before, he would need at least ten taels of silver, otherwise he might become disabled.

When the family heard that it would cost so much money, they decided not to treat the disease without thinking and just asked the doctor to prescribe some hemostatic drugs.

The original owner couldn't agree to it. Her son Chen Lin was a simple-minded man who couldn't support the family. Chen An was the only strong laborer in the family. If he became disabled, what would be the point in living?

Then he went to ask Zhao for money, but Zhao naturally disagreed. He said that the money would be better used to educate his two good grandsons and to help them find wives.

The second child has no future, so he is useless.

During the scuffle, the original owner's head hit the corner of the table and he died.

"Brother and sister, you..."

Li Manying stared with her triangular eyes and opened her big thick lips, with a look of disbelief on her face.

The second daughter-in-law, who has always been timid, has become tough and even revealed the matter. Isn't she afraid of ruining her family's reputation?

"Hey, Sister Zhao, what's the matter with you? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold sitting on the ground?"

Aunt Li from next door doesn't get along with Zhao the best. She even keeps making fun of her while eating.

She knew Zhao's character very well. This old woman was very bad, with a sharp and mean mouth, and she always cursed from morning to night without repeating the same words.

Relying on the fact that his son is a shopkeeper, his daughter married into a wealthy man in the town, and his two grandsons studying in the academy, he thinks himself superior to others and always looks down on others with his chin.

Usually it's the Zhao family that bullies others, but now he's crying out that he was beaten by his wife. It's really new.

Zhao raised her eyelids and glared at Aunt Li, secretly hating herself for being laughed at by this group of peasant women, but now that everyone was here, she had to finish the show.

"This is outrageous, the daughter-in-law hits the mother-in-law, it's just that these two damn girls were being lazy, I, as a grandmother, said a few words, and the second daughter-in-law started fighting with me, causing me to fall, ouch, my waist!"

"It's such a misfortune for our family! Tell me, how can she be such a daughter-in-law? If I wasn't kind-hearted, I would have sent her to see the official!"

"Sister Zhao, you have to have some idea when you make up your lies. Chen An's wife is very good-tempered. How could she possibly fight with you?"

"Yes, everyone knows that your second daughter-in-law has the best temper. These two granddaughters are also hardworking. They are so young and never miss any work, such as washing clothes and cooking. Who would believe you if you said they were lazy?"

"Of course not. Even if Chen An's wife really hit you, how could she, with her tiny body, throw you to the ground?"

The women watching didn't believe what Zhao said at all. They retorted with a few words and laughed at her among themselves.

We all live in the same village, so who doesn’t know who?

Zhao was dumbfounded. No one spoke up for her? Not only were these village women stupid, their eyes had been pecked out by chickens!

Cheng Yue secretly thought that they were all discerning people!

Seeing Zhao's frustrated expression, she was in a good mood and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Mother-in-law, I know you don't want to spend money to treat my husband's leg.

But after all, the leg was injured by Chen Gen, so naturally whoever caused the injury should pay for the medical expenses. How could he sell Dani and Erni to treat his father's illness!

Now my husband has a high fever, but my mother-in-law and sister-in-law still refuse to give him any money. Aren’t they forcing my husband to die?

You guys are…repaying kindness with hatred! If this gets out, how will my eldest brother and his nephews live as human beings…"

Since Zhao is so willing to make her family's shame public and bring all the villagers in to morally blackmail her, she will give him a taste of his own medicine!

Who can't act?

Upon hearing this, Dani and Erni immediately knelt down and cried, "Grandma, please save Daddy! If you can cure Daddy, you can sell us too!"

Cheng Yue was relieved that the two girls were quite considerate and helped him up again.

He is so thin and there are stones on the ground. Just put on a show. It is not worth getting hurt by kneeling. The main thing is that Zhao is such a dead old woman and she is not worthy!

Zhao and Li Manying's eyelids twitched when they heard this. Cheng Yue was counting on the success of their two eldest children so that she could benefit from them and she cared the most about the family's reputation. Why was he telling everything to others now?

The whole village knew that Chen An's leg injury was caused by Chen Gen, but they said yesterday that it was not that they did not want to treat Chen An, but that the doctor said that Chen An's leg was incurable.

Isn't Cheng Yue's yelling now telling everyone that they don't want to be treated?

This is everyone poking their spines, what will happen? !

As expected, as soon as these words came out, the onlookers looked at them differently, with naked contempt!

Aunt Li stopped eating and slammed her chopsticks on the bowl, her voice rising in pitch.

"Oh my God, you don't want to pay the money, so why are you saying everywhere that there is no cure? Isn't this just leaving Chen An to die?"

"Mrs. Zhao, that's your own son. If he gets a fever, he could die! You are such ungrateful people!"

The other women who were crowded in the front followed closely and accused him, "Yes, Chen Ping's wife, if it weren't for your son Chen Gen, would his uncle's leg have been injured? This is a life-saving grace, how could he do such a thing?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how disappointed Chen An would be if he knew this. You are so unwilling to take the money and you still want to sell someone else's daughter. How shameless!"

"Yes, Chen Ping's wife, your two sons are scholars, and your husband is a shopkeeper in the county town. You always say how respectable you are. How could you do such an ungrateful thing?"

Zhao shot herself in the foot and also implicated her grandson Jin. She was so angry that she wanted to throw up.

But everyone was very angry and she was not in the right, so she was speechless for a long time and could only continue to howl.

Li Manying's head started buzzing when she heard her husband and children being pointed at.

He immediately retorted: "Who said we don't pay? Sister-in-law, you are too impulsive. I was thinking of giving you the money later! Why are you yelling..."

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind! My husband has a high fever now, we can't delay any longer, please take out the money first..."

Cheng Yue pretended to be grateful, then looked at the crowd and said, "Can any of you help me go to the clinic? My husband has a high fever, I can't leave, and there's no one at home..."

Liu Chunlai, who was squeezed in the back, immediately shouted, "Sister-in-law Cheng Yue, I'll go!"
