She had never seen a single penny, let alone money.
The mother-in-law has a tight grip on everything, so who can interfere?
She's just a wife who's only been married into the family for a short time; how could she possibly shoulder such a responsibility?
After saying this, her attitude was crystal clear.
LOL, if she hadn't agreed to come along for the medical checkup.
The old lady is probably still lying at the village entrance right now.
Did they really expect her to pay for Zhang Cuihua's medical treatment?
That's a pretty nice idea!
The doctor and nurses listened to the whole thing and stood by without saying a word.
Shen Zhiyu, standing to the side, had been turning pale and then red on the face.
He suppressed his anger and forced a smile.
"Doctor, I was in a hurry and I really didn't bring any money. Could you wait a moment? I'll go home and get it right away, and I'll be right back!"
The doctor glanced at him, realizing that this was a case of a poor family unable to afford medical treatment.
He sighed, waved his hand, and didn't make things difficult for him.
"Sure. One person can stay and watch over the patient, while the other goes to get the money."
"Thank you so much! Thank you, doctor!"
Shen Zhiyu thanked him repeatedly, almost bowing and scraping.
But when he turned back to face Su Chenwei, the smile on his face had completely vanished.
"I'll go get it. You stay here and watch over my mom!"
He had barely finished speaking when he rushed out the door without looking back.
They sped along, their destination being Qingshan Village, a dozen miles away.
Su Chenwei looked at Zhang Cuihua, who was still unconscious, and gave a slight smirk, neither refuting nor responding.
Oh well, let's just say she'll do something good today.
She doesn't want anything in return, just peace of mind.
Shen Zhiyu embarked on his journey home alone.
Fortunately, he didn't bring any burdens this time, and the ride was very smooth.
When he finally ran home, panting heavily, he was completely exhausted.
However, the area in front of the Shen family's house was strangely quiet.
The stone mills under the pear tree are still standing quietly in the same spot.
The bloodstains that Zhang Cuihua spilled after she fainted that morning are still faintly visible on it.
No one answered from inside, and no lights were on.
Liu Yuelan was not there; perhaps she had gone back to her parents' home with Chen Chunxiang for a few days.
Without thinking too much about these details, Shen Zhiyu rushed into the east room where his mother, Zhang Cuihua, usually lived.
The cabinets, under the table, and the legs of the bed in the east room...
He turned almost everything upside down.
Finally, at the very bottom of the kang mat, his hand touched a cloth bag.
He immediately lifted a corner of the mat on the kang and pulled out the cloth bundle.
Sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), I carefully opened it layer by layer.
Sure enough, when the bag was opened, it was filled with stacks of banknotes!
These banknotes were neatly arranged with clean edges and carried the fresh scent of new paper.
It was the same money that Liu Yuelan had been sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) last night, wiping away tears and shouting that she absolutely had to get it back.
That was her dowry money, a total of one thousand yuan!
This money was originally supposed to be paid by the Zhang family after Liu Yuelan's marriage.
However, for various reasons, it remained firmly in Zhang Cuihua's grasp, and she was reluctant to let go.
At this moment, the heavy stack of money lay quietly in Shen Zhiyu's outstretched hand.
Shen Zhiyu was speechless for a moment.
This money...
This money should have been given to Lan Yin in the first place.
But now that he has a wad of cash in his hand, the string in his heart begins to waver.
However, thinking of Zhang Cuihua still unconscious on the kang (a heated brick bed), he hesitated.
He gritted his teeth and pulled himself back to reality.
He shook his head and muttered something to himself.
"Saving lives is the priority; everything else can wait."
As for Liu Yuelan, she has already entered the Zhang family, so she must understand things.
First, calm yourself down, then gently coax her a little; there's plenty of time.
Shen Zhiyu carefully wrapped the money again, stuffed it into the innermost layer of his clothes, and hid it close to his body.
Then, without looking back, he rushed out of the Zhang family's dilapidated wooden door.
I hadn't gone far along the dirt road just outside the village.
He was suddenly grabbed by the collar and pulled so hard he almost stumbled.
The newcomer had a face full of menacing features and was taller than him.
This person was none other than Xue Xiaobao, Liu Yuelan's younger brother.
Xue Xiaobao gripped his clothes tightly, a smile appearing on her face.
"I just heard from the villagers that you came, so it seems my mother is alright."
"Come on! Come home with me and apologize to my sister."
He dragged the person back while muttering to himself.
"You've really ruined my sister's life. Her eyes are all red and swollen from crying."
Shen Zhiyu staggered a few steps as he was pulled, and quickly cried out.
"Xincheng, Xincheng, listen to me first, I really have something urgent to attend to, and I really can't delay!"
Xue Xiaobao's eyes widened, and he grabbed him.
"What's the urgent matter?"
He clenched his fist and cracked it in his palm.
"I'll only ask you one question: will you coax me or not?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He certainly wouldn't dare say "no".
"Hush...hush...hush, I'll comfort you, okay?"
And so, he was like a lamb that had been tied up.
Xue Xiaobao dragged him all the way back to the Liu family.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
They ran into a mother and daughter who were about to leave.
The mother and daughter were initially tense and worried, and were about to go find an old acquaintance of Chen Chunxiang.
A barefoot doctor from the neighboring village inquired about the situation.
The mother and daughter's expressions changed instantly upon seeing Shen Zhiyu.
