Chapter 85: The silver coins flew away

After making calculations for several times, Old Lady Bai finally opened her mouth. She pulled out a fake smile with her blackened face, then said: “I have something to say, I have something to say. I was only confused earlier. Now, I understand, I understand it.”

Yang Sigen was not really trying to sue the Bai Family. However, 10 silver coins were not a small amount, so how can he just let them take it? If they were not willing to return it, it was naturally best to do this trick.

“Enough of this nonsense, just give my money back as soon as possible. Then, I will give you a face and let this thing pass.” Yang Sigen answered back immediately.

Village Chief Li nodded his head: “That’s good. Old lady, are you still not going to give back his money?” Village Chief Li knew very well how extreme Old Lady Bai’s greed was. It was not an easy task to make her pull out the money in her pocket. Fortunately, Yang Sigen was a strong person. If it was someone else, who knows how things will end.

In front of someone like Yang Sigen, even if Old Lady Bai wanted to play with words, it will be useless. It was very obvious that Yang Sigen was more ruthless than her. She was good in setting up people, but in front of Yang Sigen, everything will be useless.

Old Lady Bai was helpless. In the end, she went inside the big house and took the pouch with 10 silver coins. The pain she felt inside her heart was unimaginable. She felt like someone was cutting her flesh.

Yang Sigen grabbed the small pouch to the old lady’s hand. Then, he opened it and counted the money.

Yang Sigen headed towards Village Chief Li and said: “Chief, I am thankful for your help today, I will not overdo it again next time.” Yang Sigen, who has an iron looking face finally smiled a bit.

Village Chief Li nodded his head: “Go back to your home now. Remember, don’t be too impulsive next time. If you need something, we can discuss it well.”

Yang Sigen nodded his head again and again: “Chief, I have to say goodbye now.” He was very respectful to Village Chief Li, but he was actually doesn’t care too much. Some people can be reasonable to talk to, but others need to show their real color first before they talk.   

When Yang Sigen took his companion away, Old Lady Bai’s fierceness came out again. She pointed her finger to Bai Zhi and said: “This is all your fault that those silver coins for your mother’s hand treatment flew away. Now tell me, how are you going to pay?”

Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders and looked at Old Lady Bai coldly. “Grandmother, you should speak reasonably. How can this be my fault? I am injured by you, you’re also the one who look for marriage candidate outside the village. The money was also collected by you. In the final analysis, it was all because of your ruthless means. From top to bottom, I didn’t do anything regarding this matter, right?”

Old Lady Bai’s heart was filled with anger. How can Bai Zhi speak like that to her? Old Lady Bai leaned forward and picked up the wooden stick that was left by Yang Sigen. After picking it up, she rushed towards Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan: “Today, in order to eliminate this anger in my heart, I’ll make sure to kill you, two monks.”

Doctor Lu and Village Chief Li rushed forward to stop the old lady. Doctor Lu immediately said: “Old lady, don’t tell me that I didn’t remind you, Bai Zhi was beaten by you. Zhao Lan’s hand was abolished by you. She can no longer do a heavy work in the future. If you hurt her hand again, I’m afraid that she’ll even fail to feed herself. Can you take care of her for a lifetime?” 

This sentence was like a thunder that hit the Bai Family’s head and made them dizzy.

Zhao Lan was the one who works in the field. If she can no longer work in there, who will do it?

If her hand became a waste, does that mean she can no longer work in the field anymore?

Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu no longer felt bitter. Rather, they were regretting that— they don’t know how to go easy. Now, what should they do?

  1. There is the solution to slavery right there. Slaves are an expensive asset. If they don’t want to work what are you going to do destroy your asset?
