After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Wang Dayi couldn't help but tear up after hearing what she said. Their family didn't have much land to begin with. When his parents were sick, he sold two acres. Now the land at home was only enough for the family to eat for a year. Moreover, the crops had been planted. If he sold the land, his family would not survive in the winter! He couldn't let his parents, wife and daughter starve to death for the sake of a son!

"It's been more than half a month! Why did you just come to see me?"

Chen Xiuqun raised her head, her face full of tears. "The head of the family knows that you are in trouble too, and we don't want to disturb you, but we are really desperate, so we came to you. We have borrowed all the money we can from the village and my mother's family, but it is still not enough for the man's medical expenses. The family said that if we still can't come up with the money by the day after tomorrow, we will have to go to the government."

After saying this, I felt uncomfortable again.

Jiang Xiaohe heard everything in the kitchen and ran out immediately: "Where did he get hit? Why did he stay in the clinic for so long? Also, how much money did the family ask for in compensation?"

After asking a series of questions, Chen Xiuquan and Wang Dayi looked at her.

Seeing that Wang Qiuxia didn't say anything, Chen Xiuqun answered, "He was injured in the eyes and legs. The doctor said it would take a hundred days for the injury to heal. He refused to leave the clinic. We said we would take him home to recover, but he didn't want to. He may have some internal injuries because he kept complaining about pain here and there in the clinic every day."

"Are you blind?"

"Ah? Not really. It looked scary on the first day, but it was much better on the second day. Now, except for some bruises, it's almost healed."

Jiang Xiaohe frowned: "Then is the foot broken?"

Chen Xiuqun nodded.

"How much silver did they ask for in compensation?"

Chen Xiuquan and Wang Dayi stopped talking again.

"Brother and sister-in-law, what can't you say now?"

Wang Dayi: "Thirty taels!"

what!

"Thirty taels!" Wang Qiuxia repeated in shock. She couldn't help but look at Zhang Fu, who also had a look of shock on his face.

“Why don’t they just go and rob?”

"It's just a broken leg. It won't cost more than thirty taels!" said Zhang Fu.

Chen Xiuqun began to wipe her tears again: "It's because of what that family said, her son's leg will be lame in the future, and his body aches here and there, he must have internal injuries, he won't be able to work in the fields in the future, the whole family has to support him, that's why they want so much..."

Jiang Xiaohe just thought that this family was trying to scam him! And he also had internal injuries! If he really had internal injuries, he would have died a long time ago after more than half a month!

Wang Qiuxia looked at Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe knew what her eyes meant: "Mom, we don't have that much silver!" She told the truth. Even if the silver from selling the sour jujube cakes today was added to the few taels of silver saved by the family before, it would still not be as much as thirty taels!

Wang Dayi and Chen Xiuquan naturally knew that they didn’t have that much, and they felt embarrassed.

But he still tried to get her back: "Aunt, how much money do you have at home? Can you lend us some? We'll take whatever we can get together. At least we can stabilize that family first, so that they won't really report Hong Wa to the government."

Wang Dayi also nodded: "If I can hold out until this batch of grain is harvested, I will sell all the land and make up for it to them!"

"That won't work! If we sell this land, what will your family eat?"

Wang Dayi shook his head with tears in his eyes. He didn’t know either, but this was the only way!

Jiang Xiaohe looked at him and shook her head.

"Uncle, aunt, you can't do this!"

Chen Xiuqun cried and said, "What can we do? We can't just watch our children go to jail!"

That's not what I meant...

Wang Qiuxia sighed: "Why did they get into a fight for no reason? And they beat the other person so badly..."

"Aunt, we also blamed Hongwa, but Hongwa said that it was because of that man's rude words and insults to our Daya. You know, we married Daya off casually because of my parents' illness and used the money to pay for their medical treatment. Now Daya... Alas! It's all because of us, her parents, who are incompetent..." When she said this, she started crying again.

Wang Qiuxia just felt that she shouldn’t have asked such a question!

Her eldest niece, because her family had no money and the two old people were sick, there was really no other way, so her eldest brother and sister-in-law introduced Wang Daya to a widower in the next village as a concubine... Life was miserable... So this matter was often talked about by outsiders, saying that his family was crazy about money and married their daughter off to suffer...

Wang Daya's life was already like that. If Wang Hong also went to jail, their family would become a laughing stock. What about Xiaoya's marriage in the future?

They didn't dare to think about who else would marry their little girl, as she might end up like her sister in the future.

Chen Xiuqun thought of this and knelt down from the stool: "Aunt, please lend us some money, we will definitely pay you back in the future!"

"Ah! Sister-in-law, don't be like this!" Wang Qiuxia hurried to help her.

Chen Xiuqun couldn't get up. She had just been able to drink sweet water in this house, so her aunt's family must have been able to give her some money...

When Wang Dayi saw his wife kneeling down, he also wanted to kneel down. Zhang Fu hurried to help him up: "Brother, don't be like this. If we can help you, we will definitely not ignore you..."

After he said this, the two of them stood up.

Zhang Fu looked at Jiang Xiaohe. After all, the money in the family was earned by her and she was in charge of it.

Wang Qiuxia also looked at her: "Xiao He..."

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "Mom, I can't take this money now."

When they heard her say this, Wang Dayi and Chen Xiuquan felt uncomfortable again.

"Niece-in-law, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!" Chen Xiuquan said and started crying again.

Wang Qiuxia stepped forward and held Jiang Xiaohe. Before she could speak, Jiang Xiaohe said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to take the silver, but this family is asking for too much. Even if my uncle and aunt take some silver back this time, it may not be enough to satisfy their big appetite. Instead of this, it's better to solve it all at once!"

"Xiao He, what you mean is..."

"Let's go for a walk with my uncle and aunt!"
