Chapter 78: Neither Living Nor Diing

Xu Yao knew that it was impossible to get rid of Widow Leng's family so easily.

She never thought that she would be given a reputation for being unreasonable as soon as she moved in.

Her original purpose was to pay compensation and scare the people in the yard so that they would never dare to bully Xu Jiaan again.

So I nodded and agreed readily.

But the cold widow was not happy. She pinched the corner of her clothes and said pitifully that the subsidy given by the street office was too little. If the medical expenses were paid, the three children in their family, as well as her and her mother-in-law, would have to eat tree bark every day.

Xu Yao exclaimed "Ah", saying that they were too miserable, and she should go to the school to find a teacher to discipline Jindan!

Widow Leng almost fainted from anger. The look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yao seemed like she wanted to poke a hole in her.

It’s not like the three kids haven’t gotten into trouble before, and even if they hurt someone, no one would really care if she played the victim and apologized.

Even if she was asked to pay compensation, she would procrastinate and then show others how their family ate corn paste every day but could not get any profit from it. After several attempts, others had to return empty-handed.

Seeing that Widow Leng readily agreed to pay the compensation, Xu Yao spread out his hands with a look of suspicion on his face.

"10 yuan for medical expenses, plus 5 yuan for nutrition expenses, a total of 15. You should give the money first, because I don't trust your family's character."

There is a shortage of doctors and supplies these days, so seeing a doctor is very expensive. Many people would rather endure it than spend money to go to the hospital.

Worried that Widow Leng would make excuses, Xu Yao showed her the bill.

"You..." The cold widow gritted her teeth and forced a smile.

"All the money in the family has been used to buy food. I will give you the subsidy when the subdistrict office issues it next month."

It seems that she wants to shirk her responsibility.

A chill flashed across Xu Yao's beautiful eyes.

"Don't you understand? I told you that I don't trust your character. If you use your subsidy to buy food next month, I can't take away the food rations of your whole family, right?"

Xu Yao spoke in a firm tone, paused here, lowered her voice slightly, and spoke in an inexplicable tone.

"Sister Leng, I know the subsidies from the street office are small. Do you have other ways to make money? Otherwise, how can your three eggs be so strong? You just need to ask that person..."

"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you right now!"

Fearing that Xu Yao might blurt out a name, Widow Leng interrupted her hurriedly. Although she was thick-skinned, she could burn the city walls to ashes if so many women in the courtyard stared at her with flaming eyes.

She turned to the old man with tears in her eyes and asked him to lend her money.

The old man was a warm and friendly person. For the sake of peace in the compound, he was very willing to lend the money.

As for the aunt, although she was unhappy, as an aunt, she couldn't just watch the commotion in the yard, as it would be bad for her husband's reputation, so she finally borrowed the money.

After taking the money, Xu Yao showed her little white teeth and smiled brightly at the cold widow's resentful face.

"I believe that with this lesson, Sister Leng will no longer be perfunctory in educating her children, and the people in our compound won't have to worry about being persecuted every day. Oh, and let Sandan apologize to our An'an."

The cold widow was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

You're so ungrateful after getting such an advantage!

Her face turned green as she pressed the three guys' heads to apologize, then led them into the house.

As they walked and fought, they heard the cries of three eggs in the distance.

Jindan's back teeth were almost broken, and he cried and swore, "I will never let them go!"

The cold widow slapped him on the back and said, "Behave yourself these days. Don't you think the compensation is not enough? You are so stupid. You don't even know how to hide when you hurt others!"

Looking at the dejected backs of the Leng widow and her son.

Xu Yao snorted.

If the cold widow had paid the money honestly, she would never have exposed her shortcomings in public.

The show was over, and the last person to leave was an old lady. She sighed to an old man who had just returned after chasing everyone away.

"She lost 15 yuan in vain. The widow will definitely make it up to the man. I just don't know which scapegoat she will find."

"Well, I hope she can take care of herself." The old man put his hands behind his back and shook his head.

When he got home, Ji Changyu said he had to go out for something.

Ji's mother and Ji Yanyu opened their big watery eyes and stared at Xu Yao with admiration.

"Yindan lifted my skirt and I went to argue with Leng Guafu. She said that the child was young and there was no difference between genders. She also scolded me for being nosy. I was so angry that I didn't even eat when I came back that day." Ji Yanyu said with a pout.

Ji's mother always gave Sandan some food, and the Sandan had no conflicts with her.

Xu Yao's behavior reminded her of her youth.

Because others kept crying and making a fuss, and she couldn't win the argument, even when she was right, she became unreasonable and felt very depressed.

Later on, she stopped reasoning with people and would just pick up weapons to scare others when she couldn't win the argument.

After returning home, I was angry and afraid that I had really hurt someone, so I always hid at home and cried secretly.

The reason why she fell in love with Ji Changyu's father was because his father was very smart. He could see through other people's disguises at once and firmly believed that she was not wrong.

"They are ruthless and vicious. When these kids grow up, they will become a cancer in society."

Seeing her sister-in-law's sour expression, Xu Yao cursed, then looked down at Xu Jiaan who was in deep thought, and teased him with a smile.

"An An, how was Mom's performance today? Are you satisfied?"

Xu Jiaan was stunned for a moment.

He is not satisfied.

Rather than paying compensation, he wanted to retaliate by taking stones and smashing their heads hard, causing them to bleed and leaving them wishing they were dead!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, his long eyelashes trembled violently.

Concealing the cruelty and darkness hidden deep in the eyes.

Will his mother think that he is a social cancer just like Jindan and the others?

He doesn't care what kind of person he will become in the future, but he cares about what Xu Yao thinks of him.

When the word "cancer" was mentioned, Xu Yao couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes.

He tried to imagine if Xu Yao looked at him like that...

He can't stand it!

He will die!

"Mom, what kind of person do you want me to be?" Xu Jiaan's pupils were deep, with a wisdom that was not in line with his age.

“You are very smart, I hope you will not waste your intelligence and become someone who contributes to the country like your grandfather did.

This should be every mother's expectation for her child, but I hope that you can have a happy and healthy childhood, like a normal child, not so sensible, and occasionally naughty. ”

After answering, Xu Yao was horrified to find that she actually treated Xu Jiaan as her son completely!

"But when you grow up, I will push you to make progress. Son, I am counting on you to make money for me."

Xu Jiaan felt that his mother didn't look like his mother anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the latter part. It was still the familiar smell, the familiar mother.

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten our agreement for a moment."

Ji's mother and Ji Yanyu, who were standing by, listened happily and thought that the interaction between the mother and son was really fun.

A few people sat around the table and talked for a while. Xu Jiaan nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice and was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly I heard a noise coming from outside.

Mixed in was Ji Changyu's voice.

Several people looked at each other and ran outside.
