Chapter 84: Returning the money

Old Lady Bai was still thinking whether she would say that Bai Zhi was not at home. However, she suddenly saw Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan came out from their wooden house.

They came out, so why they didn’t come out a bit earlier? Obviously, they simply wanted to slap her face.

Inside her heart, Old Lady Bai cursed in anger.

When Village Chief Li saw Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan came out, he said to Doctor Lu: “You check Zhi Er’s condition, see if the rumor’s saying that Zhi’er cannot have children in the future is true.”

Doctor Lu opened his mouth said: “When I looked at Zhi Er’s condition last time, I learned that her lower abdomen was damaged. It will be difficult for her to conceive in the future. However, at that time, it was not that serious yet. It can be nourished back, and recovering is possible. I will check her condition again to see if it’s still the same as last time.”

When Old Lady Bai heard this, her heart became cold… …

Doctor Lu came forward and checked Bai Zhi’s pulse. While pretending to be counting numbers, he frowned his eyebrows and said: “What happened? Why her injury to the lower abdomen became more serious than before?” After he finished, Doctor Lu turned his head and looked at the old lady with a face saying ‘Didn’t I said, you should help her recover?’ 

Bai Zhi sighed and said with grievances: “I am no longer expecting to recover, I just hope that I can eat a meal each day. Everyone, I’m not trying to deceive you, but ever since Niang was injured 3 days ago. We, mother and child only had two meals of a bowl of gruel and a bowl of wild vegetables. The rest was eaten by them.” 

Old Lady Bai shouted in anger: “What nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t you intentionally return home late? So, who’s fault it is that you missed the time of meal?”

Bai Zhi shrunk back her neck in fear. She looked very scared and didn’t dare to open her mouth again.

When Village Chief Li saw this, he said: “If they missed the meal time, they deserved to starve? Don’t you know how to left foods to those people who work outside? Seeing you like this, it seems you haven’t reflected on your actions yet. Tell me, what did this child do, to be bullied by you?”

Yang Sigen butted in and said: “I am not interested in participating in their conflicts. I want them to forget this marriage agreement and return my money.”

In regards to this statement, it was time for the Bai Family to return the money. But, how can Old Lady Bai be willing? Yang Sigen smashed their things, but he wanted them to return his money?

“Yes, our Bai Family did received your 10 silver coins, but you have smashed our things today. How many of our things have you destroyed huh? I’m afraid to say that, your 10 silver coins are not enough!”

When Yang Sigen heard this, his ferociousness was revealed, he immediately shouted: “Yes, I did smash your things, but that is to give you a face. Otherwise, if this stick falls on you, you’re not in this condition anymore.”

When Old Lady Bai heard this, she couldn’t help but step back. However, although she was afraid, her mouth didn’t stop: “It’s illegal to beat people for no reason. If you dare to do it, I will go to the town and report you.”

Yang Sigen coldly replied: “That reminds me, marriage fraud is a very serious crime, I’ll give you that 10 silver coins as compensation to your broken things. But, I will go to the town and report your crime. I want your whole Bai Family to go to prison.” 

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she became anxious and immediately said: “Niang, just give back his money. We can’t become prisoners. There is Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng will become an official in the future. How will he become one, if we go there? We must absolutely not!” 

Old Lady Bai also became anxious. She tried calculating inside her heart. If Mrs. Liu will go to prison, she will only be jailed for a few days. But, if she will also be caught, she’s afraid that she will fail to keep the 10 silver coins!
