Life gradually returned to normal, but Grandma Xiaohu came several times to plead for her son. True to her word, Xiaohu's mother sent people to kick them out the next day. The furniture and appliances were all there before; Andy's family only had some clothes and miscellaneous items. Xiaohu's mother had them all thrown out and changed the locks on the spot.

After hiring a part-time cleaner, you can list the property for rent through a real estate agency.

Andy's family rented a small apartment temporarily. Rent in Pingjiang was ridiculously expensive; a one-bedroom apartment cost over two thousand yuan. The apartment was small and cramped, and the couple couldn't stand living there. So they asked Xiaohu's grandmother to come and plead for them. They thought Xiaohu's mother was just being unreasonable and that a few kind words would make it all go away.

But this time, Xiaohu's mother was truly determined. Over the years, her husband had his own opinions and would occasionally grumble, but she shut him down. She and her husband had started the business together and suffered just as much as they had, so she felt justified in her stance.

But now she doesn't want to raise an ungrateful man anymore, nor does she want to drift apart from her husband.

Grandma Xiaohu was forcibly sent back to the countryside by her, to be looked after by her father, and to live a peaceful life at home, receiving 500 yuan a month for living expenses. Moreover, she made her father keep this money, and once it got into her mother's hands, it would definitely be used to help that ungrateful family, leaving her father with nothing to eat.

Ye Qingqing counted the days, and she used silver needles to seal Andy's vital acupoints. The blood and qi would slowly flow back to the brain, and the effects would be seen after seven days.

Seven days passed in a flash, and Ye Qingqing finally received the news: Andy had a high fever for three days and his condition was very bad. He had been hospitalized. Andy's parents had no money and came to Xiaohu's mother to borrow money.

"Do you think I should lend it to you?"

That evening, Xiaohu's mother discussed it with her husband, and she hesitated.

"The fact that you asked means you want to borrow it. I knew you couldn't bring yourself to do it." Little Tiger's father said sarcastically. He had seen through his wife's thoughts long ago. His words were harsh, but his heart was soft. A few kind words were enough to soften his heart.

Xiao Hu's mother was embarrassed. Just seven days ago, she had vowed to sever ties with this family, but now she was thinking about borrowing money again. No wonder her husband was unhappy. But after all, it was a human life, and she couldn't bear to do it.

“Actually… I think it’s because God couldn’t stand it anymore, so He punished Andy.” Little Tiger’s father suddenly blurted out, but after saying it, he felt more and more that this was the case.

"Think about it, how could he have such a persistent high fever for no reason? Andy used to get sick often, and even when the fever was high, it would come down after taking medicine. But this time, the more medicine he takes, the worse it gets. Who else could it be but God?"

Tiger's father got more and more excited as he talked, and said in his excitement, "If it burns for a few more days, this little bastard will probably be burned into an idiot, which is exactly what we wanted!"

Little Tiger's mother was stunned. It seemed... what he said made a lot of sense, but—

What if they burn to death?

"Let's wait two more days. The doctor didn't say the child is in danger right now."

The couple agreed that if Andy's fever didn't subside in two days, they would lend him some money. The couple were actually soft-hearted; they definitely couldn't bear to let him die.

However, they didn't even have to wait two days. The results came on the second day. As they had hoped, Andy's fever subsided, and he became mentally impaired.

"Oh dear, I can finally relax. I'm so relieved that the fever has gone to my head. I don't have to live in fear anymore. Thank God!"

When picking up her child from school in the afternoon, Xiao Hu's mother announced the good news to Ye Qingqing with a beaming smile. Ye Qingqing found it amusing; it seemed her method of punishment was quite popular!
