"When have I ever harmed your family?" Old Tang said innocently. "It was your eldest sister, Yinhua, who stole Erbao's amulet. She's dishonest. Baogen, I advise you to go back and talk to Yinhua and return the amulet to our family. That way, we can still get along as relatives."
"That jade pendant was found by my eldest sister in the cave, and you kept it for yourself. How can you turn around and accuse me? Uncle, how can you be so shameless?"
Tang Su'e brought the medicine in from outside and heard the argument in the courtyard.
“Dad, Erzhuang’s family is unreasonable. Don’t talk to them anymore. Go back inside.” Tang Su’e walked up to Song Qiuxue. “Qiuxue, this is a folk remedy that I found an old Chinese medicine doctor in town who specializes in treating infertility. Take it and brew it.”
"Thank you, Sixth Aunt." Song Qiuxue took the Chinese medicine and handed it to Zhou Qiaoyun. "Mom, here you go."
"Mom will cook it for you." Zhou Qiaoyun said with heartache, leading Song Qiuxue into the house.
As Tang Su'e watched the mother and daughter leave, she realized that her biological mother was indeed her biological mother.
Once he had his own mother, he immediately started calling her his godmother, Sixth Aunt.
Since Song Qiuxue was discharged from the hospital and returned home, her relationship with Zhou Qiaoyun has become increasingly close.
Tang Su'e felt a chill in her heart.
A layer of skin separates you from a mountain.
Those who aren't your biological children will never be your biological children.
She turned around and went to dote on her own daughter.
Wang Yunyun didn't look well.
"Yunyun, what's wrong? You don't look well."
"Mom, Grandpa wants to give half of his treasures in the basement to Qiuxue," Wang Yunyun said indignantly. "Grandpa said he would leave all his property to me."
Tang Su'e's face instantly turned cold.

Tang Dafei's case has entered the litigation stage. The lawyer hired by the Tang family suggested that they obtain a letter of understanding from the injured party, which could lead to a lighter sentence for Tang Dafei.
Tang Youliang did not lay a hand on Song Erzhuang, but simply grabbed Song Erzhuang by the neck and released him after detaining him for half a month.
As soon as he came out, he discussed with Zhou Qiaoyun about going to the county hospital to ask the Song family for forgiveness and get a letter of understanding.
Zhou Qiaoyun said with difficulty, "I have no problem going with you to apologize, but your father and your fifth sister made a scene at the county hospital before. Yinhua demanded that our family pay for Song Erzhuang's medical expenses and future nursing care. I heard from your father that Erzhuang was seriously injured and may become a vegetable. This expense is not a small amount."
"My dad's rich. We'll pay any price to save Dafei," Tang Youliang said through gritted teeth.
"Your dad is so stingy he's practically bleeding from it, do you think he'd be willing to spend money?"
"I'll go tell my dad."
Tang Youliang went to his father to discuss the matter, hoping that his father would pay for Song Erzhuang's medical expenses in order to obtain a letter of forgiveness from the Song family. However, his father flatly refused, not willing to pay a single penny.
The father and son had a brief argument in the room.
Tang Youliang, unusually, lost his temper with his elderly father, which was overheard by Zhou Qiaoyun and Tang Su'e.
The two exchanged a glance, then turned away, both annoyed, and went into their own houses.
Tang Youliang angrily returned to his room and complained to his wife Zhou Qiaoyun that his father was being unreasonable, refusing to spend money to save people and leaving his own grandson to die.
“Your father favored your sixth sister the most. He treated your sixth sister’s daughter like a lucky star, but gave your daughter away.” Zhou Qiaoyun still harbored resentment about this.
Tang Youliang used to get annoyed whenever Zhou Qiaoyun brought this up, and he would always side with his own father.
Now that Zhou Qiaoyun brought this up again, Tang Youliang felt resentful towards his own father. He didn't know how he could have been so blinded by greed, listening to his father and sixth sister and giving away his own daughter.
"Your sixth sister's daughter, Yunyun, is also a girl. Why don't they give her away? They gave your daughter away instead!" Zhou Qiaoyun deliberately stirred up trouble between her husband and her father-in-law and sister-in-law.
“Now that Dafei is in trouble, none of them care. They have money but refuse to use it to save Dafei!” Zhou Qiaoyun kept whispering in Tang Youliang’s ear. “Dafei is still your father’s own grandson. Why was Dafei arrested? Wasn’t it to avenge your father? Now that Dafei is in trouble, they just stand by and watch him die. Is he still your father or Dafei’s grandfather?”
"I'll go out and ask my relatives for help." Tang Youliang was at his wits' end with his elderly father.
"Erzhuang is so badly injured, how much money can you borrow from relatives? We'll still have to pay it back later."
"Then what do you suggest we do? Even if my dad doesn't offer any money, we can't just abandon Dafei."
Zhou Qiaoyun whispered, "I know where Dad keeps his treasures. When Dad isn't home, I'll take you to his room to get two of them and sell them for money."
Song Qiuxue stood outside the room and heard the conversation inside.

In the afternoon, Old Tang went out to play chess with someone.
Zhou Qiaoyun led Tang Youliang to Old Man Tang's room, moved the wardrobe aside, and went into the basement.
When Tang Youliang saw the various jewelry and antiques in the basement, he was stunned.
"I accidentally stumbled upon your father bringing Yunyun in. He said he wanted to leave everything to Yunyun, including the house, everything." Zhou Qiaoyun wasn't missing any opportunity to sow discord between the father and son. "Youliang, are you really your father's biological son?"
Tang Youliang himself began to doubt whether he was the biological son of the Tang family.
The two secretly took a box of jewelry from the basement and brought it out. As soon as they came up one after the other, they saw Qiu Xue standing in the room.
"Dad, Mom, quickly hide this and use it to exchange for money to save Dafei," Song Qiuxue said understandingly.

Three days later, Tang Youliang brought tens of thousands of yuan he had obtained from the black market to the health center to pay for all of Song Erzhuang's medical expenses, and also paid a sum of money for subsequent medical and nursing care.
Song Yinhua issued a letter of understanding, instructing Tang Youliang to hand over the compensation money directly to Li Wenxiu, without her even touching it.
Tang Dafei was ultimately sentenced to one year in prison.
After a period of treatment at the health center, Song Erzhuang finally regained consciousness.
"Yin...hua..." Song Erzhuang called out indistinctly, "What... happened to me?"
"You were knocked unconscious after Dafei hit you on the back of the head with a chair."
Song Erzhuang lay on the hospital bed, thinking slowly, but couldn't remember anything.
"Who...is she...?" Song Erzhuang asked slowly, not recognizing Li Wenxiu.
"Dad, I'm Baogen's wife, Wenxiu," Li Wenxiu said, her belly protruding.
"Wen...Xiu...who is that?"
Song Yinhua and Li Wenxiu exchanged a glance, both realizing that something was wrong with Song Erzhuang.
"I'll go get the doctor!" Song Yinhua immediately left the ward.
Soon the doctor came to check on Song Erzhuang's condition and said, "Your father suffered a severe blow to the head. Although the injury has been controlled with conservative drug treatment, his brain has suffered damage of varying degrees, resulting in memory loss. In the future, his behavior and speech will become slower, and his emotional self-control and intelligence will not be as good as before."
Li Wenxiu felt heavy-hearted after hearing this.
Right now, the family is supported by Baogen's meager salary from his job. She's due in a little over a month, and with her father-in-law in this condition, he needs someone to take care of him. Just thinking about it makes you realize how much pressure she'll face in the future.
