Old lady Wang was already in poor health, and had fainted from anger just now. When she heard what Dali said, she thought that Old Man Wang had taken the money to the town to drink and prostitute, and now she was even more angry and lay directly on the bed.

Dali quickly called Erli, "Second brother, mother has fainted. Go get a doctor right away."

Erli pretended not to hear and went straight to work in the fields with a hoe.

Dali really had no choice but to use the only one or two taels of silver in his pocket to hire a doctor.

When the doctor saw Old Lady Wang's body, he shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell your brother before? Old Lady Wang's body cannot be stimulated anymore, otherwise your mother won't live long. You must take good care of your mother, otherwise you can just prepare for her death."

Dali was very surprised: "Doctor, is my mother's health so bad? I think she is still very healthy, she doesn't look like someone with poor health."

Doctor: "Your mother was tortured in the cell before, and she is old. You haven't been getting enough nutrition, so your body is more or less deficient."

After Dali sent the doctor away, he sat beside Old Lady Wang's bed and looked at his mother quietly.

Suddenly Wang Dali seemed to remember something. Something was wrong. Mother should be in the prison cell in the city at this time. Why is she back now?

Wang Dali immediately began to search Old Lady Wang's body, but found nothing even in the side room.

Seeing this, Wang Dali looked directly at Old Lady Wang. It seemed that only by waiting for Old Lady Wang to wake up would he know what had happened and why his mother came back early.

It was not until noon the next day that Old Mrs. Wang slowly woke up.

Wang Dali immediately threw himself on Old Lady Wang after seeing this and cried loudly, "Mom, your life is so miserable. I don't have a dad now, but I can't live without your mom. I used my last ounce of silver to hire a doctor for you, but the doctor said that if you don't take good care of yourself, you won't live long."

When Old Lady Wang heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

Old Lady Wang stroked Dali's head and said, "Son, I know my own health condition very well. I also know that I won't live long. The only thing I'm worried about now is you."

"Tell me how your father and Xiaomei died."

Wang Dali recounted exactly what happened at home.

The more Old Lady Wang listened, the sadder she became. In the few months when she was away, such a big thing happened at home, and the old man never saw her until he died. She also didn't see the old man, and the more she thought about it, the more tears she couldn't stop.

Wang Dali: "Mom, I have no choice. Dad and Xiaomei need to spend a lot of money. I really have no money, so I want to sell the land. Otherwise, how could I sell the land left by our Wang family? I would never sell the land myself, because it is the lifeblood of us farmers."

Old Lady Wang was exhausted and felt that she might die at any time. But she couldn't leave now. If she died, what would happen to Dali? What would happen to my three precious grandchildren? I had to live well and earn some money for Dali.

Wang Dali looked at his mother without saying anything, "Mom, shouldn't you still be in the prison cell in the city? How come you are out now?"

When Old Lady Wang saw Dali asking this question, she told him what had happened honestly.

When Dali heard that there was still 100 taels of silver, he searched his mother's body and the room where she lived and found nothing. Dali's eyes darted around, "Mom, I don't have any silver on me now. I'm thinking that I can't even get the money to buy you medicine or to hire a doctor next time. What should I do?"

Old Lady Wang said with great concern, "It's okay. The hundred taels were taken away by your brother. That unfilial son took it away when I was feeling unwell by searching my body. What a sin I have committed to give birth to such an unfilial and lowly son. He even wants to steal my own mother's money. My life is miserable."

Wang Dali heard that the money was taken by Erli, and Erli would never give it back. The two brothers had been at odds since the division of the property. Now Erli didn't care about his mother at all, let alone take the money for medical treatment.

Dali: "Mom, do you want to go and ask my second brother to return the 100 taels of silver? You don't know, after you fainted just now, I asked my second brother to go get a doctor, but he ignored me and just left."

"Mother, the money is only safe with us. We won't be able to get even a penny from my second brother."

Old Lady Wang hesitated, "But, but your second brother will never give me the money easily. The current Erli is not the same as before. He is extremely disrespectful to me and now he has grown powerful. He won't listen to anything I say. In the past, in this family, I said one thing and you didn't dare to say another. Now, you all dare to disobey me."

The more Old Lady Wang thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Dali: "But, mother, how can we do without money? Of your three precious grandsons, only the eldest has married and started a family. The other two are still single. Can you bear to see them still single?"

"Mom, since Xiaomei died, I also went to the town to do business, but unfortunately I am not cut out for business. I have almost lost all the money in the family."

Wang Dali was looking at Old Lady Wang's face as he spoke. He just looked at Old Lady Wang and continued talking without any other expression.

Dali: "Mom, it's not easy for me either. You'll have to rely on me when you get old. You can't rely on Erli, not to mention my third brother, who hasn't returned yet and his whereabouts are unknown."

Old Lady Wang looked at Dali's face and murmured to herself, "Among the three brothers, only you look like your father. I love you the most, and of course Dali. You are also the most motivated one, and you gave me three precious grandchildren."

"But the Wang family is in such a state now, and you have squandered all the money. How can I help you? Your mother won't live long either, so where can I find the money for you?"

Dali said anxiously: "Mom, this matter is easy to handle. You need to return the one hundred taels of silver from Erli."

Old Lady Wang looked at Dali and said, "Go and get it. The silver you get back is yours. If you don't get it back, there is nothing I can do."

Dali's head buzzed when he heard this, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. You old fool. The current Erli is not the same as before. The current Erli is much more powerful. I called you because I wanted you to take the lead, but you let me ask for it myself.
