Judging from Ye Nian'an's attitude, it seemed she had no intention of sharing any of the meat with them...

But the Chu family is living so well, they have so much meat, what's wrong with sharing some with them? They don't have to be so stingy.

"To tell you the truth, I came here to borrow some meat to help Zuo Zuo and You You recover. They're just kids, they're at the age where they're growing."

“These two kids are so young. They’ve been living with us useless parents, often going hungry and cold, and they’ve missed out on such a great opportunity.”

"I was thinking... could you lend us some wild boar meat? We promise it's just a loan! We'll definitely pay you back later!"

Yang Qiaoqiao spoke to Zhang Aihua with utmost sincerity, glancing left and right from time to time, looking utterly heartbroken.

Ye Nian'an's expression remained completely calm; she even seemed about to laugh.

Keep acting! Keep acting!

"Borrowing wild boar meat? There's really no need to go to such lengths..."

Upon hearing Ye Nian'an bring this up, Yang Qiaoqiao and the others immediately perked up their ears and their eyes lit up.

If it's not a loan, does it mean you're willing to give it?

That's wonderful!

They never intended to return the money after borrowing it, just like Su Mingyue.

Why spit out meat that's already in your mouth?

As long as you play the victim and say you really have no meat left, Ye Nian'an can't possibly force you to pay it back, right?

She was a barefoot doctor, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had just passed the exam to become primary school teachers, beating out a group of educated youth. Their lives were incredibly good!

"The grain distribution was only recently completed, so your family must still have a lot of grain stored up. How about we exchange it at the market price, one to one? I won't make any extra money off you."

"Tell me how many kilograms of wild boar meat you want, and I'll calculate how many kilograms of grain you'll have to give in exchange!"

Yang Qiaoqiao and the others felt incredibly shocked.

What they want is to borrow, to get something for free.

What does "change" mean?

That's practically the same as buying it!

Why bring your child along, travel in person, and then expect to do someone a favor?

“Dr. Ye, it’s not that we don’t want to switch, it’s just that with only a few of us working, we don’t even have enough food for a year. Sometimes we have to ask our families for money…”

"Oh, I see now. You're trying to get something for nothing! You don't even have enough food for yourselves, so what can you possibly use to repay the loan of wild boar meat?"

Ye Nian'an interrupted Yang Qiaoqiao and the others before they could finish speaking.

Caught off guard, even the thickest skin couldn't withstand the humiliation. Yang Qiaoqiao stammered, "I...of course we can pay it back, but not now..."

"Yes, Dr. Ye, do you really doubt us? Even if Su Zhiqing wronged you, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Our Bai family has lost face because of the good deeds that Su, the educated youth, has done time and time again. Now we can't even hold our heads up in the brigade. They're even spreading rumors that my brother-in-law is protecting criminals!"

"To be fair, we were also victims. We helped find crucial evidence that Su Zhiqing was the culprit. She was arrested, which can be considered making amends!"

"Our eldest son's family has a good relationship with you, Dr. Ye, right? We're all family. If you trust them, why wouldn't you trust us? We said we'd lend it, and we'll definitely pay it back!"

Zhang Aihua quickly chimed in to help.

"My relationship with Comrade Meng Sufang and the others is none of your business. Even if we were born in the same family, it's hard to guarantee that we'll have the same temperament!"

“We’re not related, why should I trust you? Besides, because of the Su educated youth incident, if it weren’t for your two children being sensible, I would have kicked you out long ago. Just looking at you is bad luck!”

"You'd better leave before I get angry, otherwise..."

Ye Nian'an deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

Her fighting prowess in Liangtian Township must be top-notch, right?

Are these two women overthinking things, trying to gang up on each other to take advantage of each other?

Yang Qiaoqiao and Zhang Aihua couldn't help but shiver.

Does Ye Nian'an mean he wants to take action?

"Dr. Ye!"

At this moment, Meng Sufang and Bai Xiaofei came looking for them.

"So you really are here! Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, are you crazy? You actually brought Zuo Zuo and Zuo You here to see Dr. Ye!"

Meng Sufang angrily accused him.

She thought that she had just rejected Yang Qiaoqiao and her group's unreasonable demands and that the matter was over.

Not long after returning to the Bai family home, Yang Qiaoqiao and the others disappeared, and were not in the kitchen either.

Along with the left and right sides, everything else disappeared.

Meng Sufang instantly had a bad feeling and quickly pulled Bai Xiaofei to bring Ye Nian'an over to look for her.

Sure enough, they found Yang Qiaoqiao and the others.

"Oh, brother and sister-in-law, what a coincidence! We just remembered we need to prepare dinner. It's getting late, so we won't bother you any longer. We'll head back now."

When Meng Sufang and the others arrived, Yang Qiaoqiao and Zhang Aihua quickly took their child and left to avoid being beaten by Ye Nian'an and feeling guilty.

"you!"

Before Meng Sufang could even confront Yang Qiaoqiao and the others, she quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Dr. Ye, my second and third sister-in-laws are really outrageous! I'll definitely have my in-laws give them a good talking-to when we get back!"

“They really deserve to be taught a lesson. They not only tried to use their child to morally blackmail me into lending them their body, but they also brought up the relationship between our two families.”

Ye Nian'an briefly recounted what had just happened.

Meng Sufang was furious. She rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was about to settle scores with the second and third wives.

It was Bai Xiaofei who stopped his wife and told her to stay calm.

Otherwise, I'm really afraid that Meng Sufang will get angry and attack me.

“These second and third wives are always causing trouble! We all separated from the family before, but they saw that my father-in-law was willing to support the family, Su Zhiqing was willing to provide subsidies, and she also took care of my mother-in-law. Since there were benefits to be had, they stayed. They haven’t even paid much for food over the years.”

“Now that Su Zhiqing has committed a crime and been arrested, they feel that their mother-in-law is difficult to take care of and want to separate the family. They want our eldest son’s family to move back and take care of their mother-in-law. They will give her money to settle the matter.”

"Fine, I knew long ago that neither of their families had good intentions. I've also made it clear to my father-in-law and father-in-law that if my mother-in-law causes trouble or deliberately throws a tantrum, I won't tolerate it. They'll be responsible for how much food they provide each month, and I'll put up with this."

"When I came back today and heard about the meat distribution, they were all like ghosts in a maze, and I even had to beg Dr. Ye for some meat. Don't they even know what shame is? How could they say and do such things!"

"Now they're using me and the children as shields. Is it because I'm too easygoing that they've become so emboldened?"

Meng Sufang was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

"Alright, Comrade Meng Sufang, don't be so angry. It's not worth getting upset over these people."

"This is your family matter, you can discuss it yourselves. I shouldn't say too much. Here, you've come at just the right time. I took your pulse earlier and it seemed a bit unstable. Here, have this. Wait for me."

Ye Nian'an turned around and went into the house, taking out a medicine bottle.

"This is my own formulation. Take one pill a day after meals, morning, noon, or night."
