Tang Bei clenched his fists secretly.

Lin Cuicui recalled the look in her brother-in-law's eyes when she first saw him. No wonder, no wonder.

Lin Cuicui couldn't help but complain, "How could Aunt Qian do this? My husband has helped them so much in the past. Their lives have only gotten a little better in the last two years. My husband has helped them so much; I just wanted to pay them back a little later, how could they..."

Tang Yue was on the verge of tears as she spoke, feeling helpless; her mother hadn't stopped crying for days.

"Mom, Aunt Qian didn't say anything."

Lin Cuicui realized what was happening and pouted, "I was just complaining. This time when we go to the hospital, Mom will also see if there's anything I can do. We should hurry up and earn money to pay off our debts."

I've been owing people money for a long time, and it's really bothering me."

Tang Yue understood that her mother's complaints were just a temporary burst of stress, but she worried that over time, such thoughts might actually take root in her heart. She didn't want her mother to become that kind of person.

The sound of Old Li driving his donkey cart could be heard outside the door. Tang Nan ran to the door and opened it. "Ah, it's Grandpa Li!"

Lin Cuicui quickly composed herself. "You guys go inside and get a couple of clothes you wear outside. Da Bei, take out that wolf pelt and cover your sister with it later."

"Okay."

Aside from a tattered sheepskin coat, the only valuable item in the house was a wolf pelt. But even selling it wouldn't raise enough money to treat Tang Shengkai, so the wolf pelt was saved for Tang Yue to make clothes for later. No one in the family could bear to use it.

"Uncle Li, thank you for coming along."

Lin Cuicui felt that her words were weak and powerless, but she really didn't have anything else to offer.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Come on, help me lift Shengkai into the car."

Lin Cuicui and Old Li were the main force, while Tang Bei and Tang Nan lent a hand on the side. Together, they lifted Tang Shengkai onto the donkey cart.

The donkey cart was already covered with a thick layer of straw. Lin Cuicui's eyes were filled with gratitude.

She took out all the usable bedding in the house and used it as mattresses and blankets. After everything was tidied up, Lin Cuicui locked the front door, got on Old Li's donkey cart, and set off towards the county town.

The donkey cart bumped along the rugged mountain road, and Tang Yue nestled in Lin Cuicui's arms. She closed her eyes, sensing the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain was a bit more active than at home, and Tang Yue silently absorbed it, nourishing her body's ailments. Occasionally, she would quietly press Tang Shengkai's brow.

Lin Cuicui assumed her daughter was checking her father's forehead temperature and had no suspicions whatsoever.

Tang Shengkai lay on the donkey cart. Although his face was still pale and somewhat purplish, his breathing had become much more steady, almost as if he were asleep. Lin Cuicui glanced at his sunken cheeks from time to time, her eyes filled with fear and worry, mixed with a glimmer of hope.

The donkey cart moved slowly along the mountain road, the surrounding scenery constantly changing, from barren hills to lush forests, and then to the faint outline of the county town in the distance. A smile appeared on Tang Yue's little face; her father was saved.
