Chapter 40 Don't Bully My Wife
Gu Leyou was speechless.
These two people are of the same kind. They will never give up until they see the money.
Just when she didn't know what to do.
Lu Yan came back with the little miracle doctor.
The couple turned their eyes to Lu Yan again. Yang even stepped forward and held him, asking, "You're back just in time. When will you pay me back the money I owe you?"
Lu Yan simply shook off Yang's hand, walked to his wife, and protected her behind him.
"Don't bully my wife."
Then he looked at them with cold eyes and said calmly: "I don't owe you money. You are not my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Even if I want to give you money, it's not to you."
This made Yang very angry.
He just sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, howling like a ghost.
"Neighbors, come and have a look. This couple owes me money and won't pay it back. Come and have a look."
Because of her screaming and howling, all the neighbors who liked to watch the fun came.
Suddenly the gate of the courtyard was full of people.
Gu Leyou is a thin-skinned person. When he saw so many people who liked to watch the fun, he immediately felt embarrassed.
Lu Yan quickly asked Gu Leyou to bring the young doctor in to check on his son's condition.
I stayed behind to deal with the couple.
"Madam, take him in to see the children first. As for them, leave them to me. I will deal with them."
When Yang heard this, she became unhappy and stood up immediately. He stopped Gu Leyou.
"No, you can't leave. If you leave and your husband refuses to pay, what should we do?"
Lu Yan quickly stepped forward to stop them and pushed his wife in.
So Gu Leyou took the little doctor to his son's room.
The young doctor took his pulse and said to Gu Leyou after a while, "The child is fine now. It's just that the poison in his body has only been suppressed temporarily. If the poison relapses one day, it will endanger his life. It's all my fault. I have been researching for so long, but I still can't find an antidote for his poison."
Lu Yan dealt with the couple in the yard.
"What do you want in exchange for letting us go? We don't want to cause any trouble. Do you think you can leave if I just give you some money?" Lu Yan asked.
"Yes, as long as you give us money, we will leave immediately and will never disturb your life again." Gu Haicheng promised solemnly.
"How much do you want?" Lu Yan asked.
"We asked you for so much money back then, you definitely won't give us that much today, so how about giving us half?"
Lu Yan hesitated. After all, one ingot of silver could support an ordinary farmer for about a month. If they wanted half of it today, that would be nearly five months.
The amount is so large that he needs to discuss it with his wife.
So I replied to the couple, "I am married now, and I have to listen to my wife on some matters. I need to discuss with my wife how much money to give you. Please sit here and wait."
After saying that, he went into the house and went to his son's room.
Seeing the lady being so close to the young doctor, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"Have you guys agreed?" Lu Yan asked, standing behind the two people.
The two were shocked when they looked back.
"Did you send them away?" Gu Leyou asked.
"Not yet. They must get the money. If you don't give them money, they won't leave. There are also neighbors and some people watching the fun at the gate of the courtyard." Lu Yan explained.
"Then how much money are you going to give them?" Gu Leyou asked.
"Then how much do you plan to give them, ma'am?" Lu Yan asked.
"I'm married to you now, and you're the boss of this family, so of course we have to listen to you. We'll give you whatever you say."
The young doctor listened to what the couple said and felt that they were very conflicted, so he interrupted them and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, that couple are not your parents, why do you have to give them money? Just think of a way to get rid of them."
"Tell me, how do we get rid of them? They are very difficult to deal with." Gu Leyou asked.
"Then give them half the money, that's all."
"Okay, my lady, just listen to him. He said before that he would give him ten taels of silver, so just give him five taels of silver. That will be enough for them to live on for several months."
Gu Leyou was a little reluctant. After all, this was going to be their living expenses. If he gave it all to his uncle and aunt, how would they live in the future?
Is it possible that the family of three will have to starve again?
If you really don't want to give it to them, then just write them an IOU and wait for them.
When you have enough money one day, let them give you the IOU and you can give them the money.
But I’m afraid that they will default on the debt and only acknowledge the money instead of the IOU.
In the end, they were thinking about their own livelihood.
I still wrote an IOU to the couple who only cared about money.
The couple left happily with the IOU.
The tranquility of the afternoon was broken by quarrels that became louder and louder. At the edge of the field at the entrance of the village, Yang stood with her hands on her hips, her face flushed red like a ripe tomato, glaring at Li's sister-in-law.
"Sister Li, don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth! Your chicken runs to my vegetable garden every day and pecks my newly sprouted seedlings into pieces. Is this unreasonable?" Yang shouted at the top of her voice, with veins bulging on her neck.
Li's sister-in-law was not willing to be outdone. She smashed the hoe in her hand on the ground with a clang, splashing some dirt. "Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, please don't slander me! My chickens have been well penned, how could they run to harm your vegetable garden? It could be another wild animal that did it, but you are so good as to blame me without any reason."
"Hmph, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? Just this morning, three egret chickens swaggered out of your yard and headed straight for my vegetable garden. I could even recognize the chicken feathers!" Yang said, taking a few steps forward, her finger almost poking the tip of Li's sister-in-law's nose.
These words were like sparks, completely igniting the anger of Li's sister-in-law. She waved her hands as if to drive away the invisible flock of chickens in front of her: "Your vegetable field is next to everyone's field. Maybe it was another chicken passing by and you mistook it for one. I work hard to feed the chickens and lay eggs, hoping to earn money to supplement the family income. You wronged me like this. How am I going to live in the future?"
Someone ran to tell Gu Leyou.
She was taking care of the child when a girl about her age ran over.
"Sister Gu, please come with me to the fields. Your aunt and sister-in-law are about to fight."
There is really no peace at all.
I just got the IOU from them and now I go fighting with them again.
But she is a married girl, so of course she won't interfere in her natal family's affairs. She just can't stand the affairs of her uncle and aunt.
So she didn't need to worry about whether they fought or not. She wouldn't go to help or watch the fun anyway.
