"How dare you say that things your daughter brought home can't be taken back! Was she just taking? She stole and cheated! You shameless bastard, give me back my grain!"
Grandma Han was known for her sharp tongue; she never lost an argument. Except for Han Ruoxue.
How can you prove that the grain is yours?
"Everyone in our village can testify! You shameless bastard, what are you doing here in our village?"
Seeing the two old women start fighting, the village head of Lijiazhuang hurriedly said, "Let's put aside the grain matter for now. These three brothers are still injured, their bones are broken. Han Qiang, your villagers broke their bones, shouldn't you find a doctor to treat them?"
When called out, Han Qiang didn't back down: "We only kicked him twice. Who knows how their bones broke? Maybe they broke them themselves and are just blaming us?"
"You? Han Qiang, you heartless bastard, why don't you break your own legs? Go ahead and break them for me!"
Old Mrs. Li was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fury. She took a step forward, intending to hit Han Qiang, but Old Mrs. Han stepped aside and blocked her way.
"What are you doing? I'm disciplining my son-in-law, it's none of your business."
"Your son-in-law? Haha, Han Qiang already said that he doesn't want Li Aidi anymore and will divorce her immediately."
"Divorce what? My daughter has been with Han Qiang for so many years, bearing him children. How can I possibly divorce her?"
"Don't even think about resting without two thousand taels of grain..."
The eldest son of the Li family said in a muffled voice that his leg was in great pain and he just wanted to find someone to treat him as soon as possible.
"Mom, my leg hurts so much! Please find someone to take a look at it quickly..."
"Mom, my legs hurt too."
"Mother, will I become a cripple?"
The second and third sons of the Li family were also crying out in pain.
"Han Qiang, you and Li Aidi haven't broken off your relationship yet. She's still your wife, and the Li brothers are your brothers-in-law. Isn't there a miracle doctor named Xu in your village? Quickly get him to come out and help take a look!"
The village head of Lijiazhuang didn't want anyone to die; he was more concerned about the injuries of the few people.
"Dr. Xu isn't from my family; I don't have the authority to make decisions about him!"
How could Han Qiang possibly acknowledge the Li family? He's been completely heartbroken by what's happened recently, and he absolutely doesn't want this Li Aidi.
"Dr. Xu, they say doctors have the heart of parents. Can you bear to watch them suffer here?"
"I'm old and not in good health. My hands and feet have been feeling weak and sore lately. I'm sorry, I can't see you."
In the courtyard, Doctor Xu took a stool, held a baby in his arms, and spoke calmly.
Looking at his rosy and radiant complexion, no one could tell he was unwell. His complexion was even better than that of a young man.
"Grandpa, I told you not to overwork yourself. You must have been exhausted from treating Uncle Yuan's leg the other day, right?"
"Immortal Doctor Xu's grandson explained with a considerate expression."
"That's right, Mingyuan's injuries are too bad. I've been watching over him for two days, and I haven't dared to sleep." Of course, he was just making this up; he simply didn't want to help the Li brothers treat their injuries.
"Ahem, as you can see, Doctor Xu's health isn't good, so..."
Han Qiang nodded seriously. The village head of Lijiazhuang was furious. The people of Hutouya Village were all too hateful. There wasn't a single normal person among them.
"It's fine if you don't want to treat them, but the medical expenses..."
The village head of Lijiazhuang took a deep breath. They were now on the territory of Hutouya Village, and taking action against them would not be a wise decision.
There are only about a dozen people from their village now. They have no chance of winning a fight.
"We didn't injure their legs, so why should we be responsible for their medical expenses?"
Han Qiang said without changing his expression.
"But they were injured in your village, weren't they?"
"If someone gets injured in our village, does that mean it was done by someone from our village? Why don't you ask the county magistrate? If he also believes it was done by someone from our village, and if he has evidence, we'll cooperate."
Where can we find evidence? Everyone in Hutouya Village is of one mind, and there are no witnesses to be found.
The villagers of Lijiazhuang were even more furious. Old Mrs. Li said angrily, "If you won't pay for the medical expenses, then you should at least pay for Li Aidi's food rations for the next few months, right?"
"Hehe..." Before Han Qiang could speak, Old Lady Han spoke first: "This is the first time I've ever heard of someone asking their husband's family for food while living at their parents' home. Do you guys not want to live in heaven?"
"this……"
"I'm putting my words here today: without two thousand catties of grain, Li Aidi will remain your wife, Han Qiang. If you want to divorce her, dream on."
"you……"
Han Qiang hadn't expected the old woman from the Li family to be so unreasonable. He didn't want her anymore anyway; she could go wherever she wanted. Whether he divorced her or not was just a formality.
"casual!"
Han Qiang didn't necessarily need to go through that procedure. Anyway, all three Li brothers were injured, and they should be able to behave themselves within a few months.
"Han Qiang, if you don't give me grain, I'll report you to the authorities!"
The old woman from the Li family said arrogantly.
Han Qiangmin pursed his lips. Even if he did have two thousand catties of grain, he wouldn't want to give it to the Li family.
"It's not impossible to get food."
The people of Lijiazhuang had already given up hope when they saw that Han Qiang didn't want to take any grain. But at this moment, a clear voice gave them a glimmer of hope.
Everyone unconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw the woman whose skin was so white it seemed to glow.
Han Luoxue was the most beautiful woman in Wuling Town. In fact, not only in Wuling Town, but even in the capital, her looks would be among the best.
Her fair, translucent skin, delicate features, and slender figure made her extremely attractive even in a large crowd.
Moreover, in the countryside, he stands out even more among a group of farmers with yellow or even blackish complexions.
"What do you mean?"
Old Mrs. Li was startled and asked incredulously, "You want to help Han Qiang provide grain?"
As she said this, her eyes lit up: "If you help her pay, two thousand taels of grain won't be enough; you'll need to add a big fat pig."
They could smell it from outside the courtyard; the aroma of the boiled pork was so enticing that everyone's mouths watered for a long time.
If she could get a big, fat pig, she would slaughter it and sell the meat in the village, which would bring her a considerable income.
"hehe……"
Hearing this, Han Luoxue couldn't help but laugh, though she was angry.
"Two thousand catties of grain and a big fat pig?"
She raised an eyebrow, looked at the hopeful old woman from the Li family, and curled her lips into a mocking smile: "Aunt Wu, how much dowry do you usually ask for when you marry a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl these days?"
"It's hard to say for Xueya. Some weigh ten or twenty jin, some fifty or sixty jin, and for those with better conditions, 100 jin of grain is enough."
The main problem is that everyone's situation is not good right now. Besides, it's not like they're selling their daughters; they're just giving them some food so that their daughters can find a way to make a living after marriage. Everyone is happy about that.
"Auntie, your daughter is valuable! A young, unmarried woman is worth at most a hundred catties of grain, but you, a woman in your fifties or sixties, want two thousand catties of grain plus a big fat pig. Is your daughter made of gold?"
