The lady said no more.

Daniu glanced at his wife and said, "Don't be nice to Old Lady Wang when you see her. She doesn't deserve it."

Yun Tao warned the others, "Listen carefully, the four of you. Old Lady Wang definitely has no good intentions in coming here this time. No matter how well she behaves in the cell, she will not be able to leave early."

"Even if she was a big shot, those masters would not look down on Old Lady Wang at all, and would not help her get out of the cell early. Otherwise, she would not have been sentenced in the first place. She would not have been in prison, but would have been released directly."

"Wang Dali doesn't have that ability. A gambler and a ladybug can't be a good person. Most of the land in the family has been sold, and he still thinks of his mother who won't live for many more years."

"Don't let her into the house if you see her again. No matter if there's anyone home or not, close the door. Don't leave it open, or anyone can get in."

Lady: "Don't worry. Mother, I will be careful in the future. I will always keep the door closed. This kind of situation will not happen again in the future."

Yun Tao: "All of you please go out. I want to talk to your eldest brother about something."

"Daniu, Old Lady Wang definitely has no good intentions when she comes here. I've been her daughter-in-law for more than ten years, and I know exactly what kind of person she is. She is definitely not as simple as she is now. She is not someone who is easy to talk to. She is a vindictive person. You should pay more attention to her in the village in the future. It's best to know what's going on in her family. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing to be stabbed in the back like last time."

Daniu said solemnly: "Mom, I know it in my heart. I will take good care of her."

Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that she wanted to curse Yuntao at the door of her house but she didn't dare to. It was only when Erli heard that his mother was thrown out of the door by Yuntao that he hurriedly pulled Old Mrs. Wang away.

Er Li said angrily, "Mom, you are really a bitch. Didn't you come here before? You still don't repent for how Yun Tao treated you. Besides, when you were at Lao Wang's house, how did you treat Yun Tao's family? Everyone knows it. Why are you asking for trouble? You really want to suffer without any reason."

When Old Lady Wang heard her son say this about her, she was so angry that she fainted.

Seeing this, Erli quickly carried Old Lady Wang back to the Taoist temple, fearing that others would see the Wang family making another fool of themselves.

Yinhua saw Erli carrying his mother on his back and said, "Erli, what happened to mother? She was fine when she went out. Why is she like this now? I'll go get a doctor right away."

Erli stopped Yinhua immediately and said, "Yinhua, mother has brought this upon herself. There is no need to call a doctor. What does it cost to call a doctor? Doesn't it cost money? Every time we call a doctor, we have to get medicine. We don't have much money left. Our family is not well off. Calling a doctor is the best thing we can do. Mother will be fine after a rest."

Yinhua wanted to say something, but when she saw Erli's eyes, she swallowed her words. She said nothing more and turned around to get busy.

Erli looked at his mother lying on the bed and muttered, "Mom, don't blame me. Blame you for being partial. You have never liked me since I was a child. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I work, you don't like me. When I grew up, you didn't even like my wife and daughter after I got married. Even now that you are like this, you still miss your Dali."

"Think of your one hundred taels of silver as compensation for what your son has given me over the years. It's what I deserve. If you can get through this time, then get through it. If you can't, your son will definitely give you a grand funeral."

After Erli finished speaking, he turned around and left without even looking at Old Lady Wang again.

That night, Wang Dali came back drunk and fell asleep on the bed. Wang Erli didn't say anything when he heard the noise, and just lay on the bed and continued to sleep.

When Old Mrs. Wang heard the noise, she knew that Dali had returned, but she couldn't get out of bed and felt uncomfortable all over, so she had no choice but to give up.

It was not until the next morning, when Wang Dali got up and saw Erli carrying the bowl to his mother's room, that he realized what was going on.

Following Wang Erli to his mother's room, he saw his mother lying on the bed and said in surprise: "Mom, when did you come back? How come I didn't know?"

Wang Erli said angrily: "You only care about drinking and gambling. Do you still have this family? You have sold almost all the land in the family. You still have a heart. Come and serve me."

After Wang Erli finished speaking, he handed the bowl to Wang Dali and walked out of the room.

When Old Mrs. Wang saw Wang Dali coming back, her face was full of joy.

She said weakly, "Da Li, my good son. When did you come back? You didn't come to see me. I missed you so much."

"I miss you all the time in the cell, but you never come to see me, and I'm very sad."

Wang Dali quickly explained, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to come and see you, it's just that I don't have any money. The money is with Dad, and he won't give me a single copper coin. You know, you need money to bribe people to enter the prison in the prefecture city. I don't have a single copper coin, so how can I come to see you?"

When Old Lady Wang heard this, she felt a little comforted.

"Didn't your father pass away? I gave all the money to him after I left. Didn't he give it to you? It shouldn't be possible. The old man likes you the most among his three sons, Dali. Your father has hundreds of taels of silver, which is enough for our family's expenses for the rest of our lives."

Wang Dali said with a guilty conscience, "Mom, what silver? How could Dad have so much silver? How come I didn't know? I wasn't at home when he first died, and my second brother was at home. Maybe my second brother took it? I know the silver when Xiaomei left, but Xiaomei didn't have much. That spendthrift woman doesn't know how to manage the household at all. How could she have only a few taels of silver left? She's even gone five taels of silver, and I don't know where she spent it."

Old Lady Wang said angrily, "Where else could it be spent? It must have gone to her parents' home. But now Xiaomei is gone, so there is no point in saying this. Xiaomei doesn't have much money, so it doesn't mean much. For us, your father's money is the key, Dali. You must find that money. If it's with your brother, go find him."

Wang Dali was too guilty to look into Old Lady Wang's eyes. "Mom, that silver is hard to find. I looked everywhere but couldn't find it. And my brother has been living in poverty recently. Could it be that Dad spent it himself? After all, after you were in jail, I saw Dad often go to town, and he would be gone for half a day. I don't know what Dad did in the town, and sometimes he even came back very late."
