Chapter 274: Courting Death



Wang Cai didn't get any water, and seeing Xue Dagui and Chu Xiaoniu, two burly men, glaring at them, he no longer dared to act like an "uncle", and sat on the steps with Ding. They looked at the wealth in the yard, and the greed in their eyes could not be concealed.

Unexpectedly, Wang, a soft-hearted person, married a sickly man, but she became so rich. Although Chen Afu was powerful, Wang couldn't ignore her own father, and the county magistrate would not agree.

Ding knew that Wang hated her, so she didn't dare to say anything and gave Wang Cai a look.

Wang Cai laughed dryly and said to Wang, "Sister, we are really desperate and have been forced into no alternative. In the past six months, I don't know who has offended my family, and all kinds of bad luck have come to our house. Not long after mother broke her leg, I was hit on the head by flying stones twice in a row. Then father sprained his waist, and even my eldest son was hit once. The pigs, chickens, ducks and geese we raised at home were lost one after another. Now we dare not raise them. The crops in the fields are either pushed up by pigs or trampled by mad cows... Alas, there is no money at home, and all the savings we had saved have been spent. A few days ago, father suddenly fell ill, and the herbal medicine we fed him didn't work at all. I beg you to give me some money to treat my father. He is your biological father after all." After saying this, she pretended to wipe away her tears.

Ding's cries became louder.

Chen Afu looked at Ding and Wang Cai who looked greedy for money, and then looked at Old Man Wang who was lying on the reclining chair. Although his face was pale, his eyelids would occasionally move slightly.

Old Wang was selfish and cowardly, and Wang Cai was greedy, but the wicked Ding was ten thousand times more hateful than them. She directly caused the tragedy of Wang and Wang Cheng, but she still dared to encourage them to come to her house to ask for money.

After all, Old Man Wang is Wang's biological father. If she completely ignores him and the news gets out, Wang will be criticized, and it will not be good for A Lu who wants to pursue a career in politics.

But we must not let this bad woman Ding sell out Wang's siblings, and she also wants to rely on her biological father, Old Man Wang, to suppress Wang and enjoy Wang's blessings. If she can't enjoy the blessings, she will come to disgust people. If you don't seek death, you won't die. This is the most classic saying in the previous life. She has already sent herself to death, why should we let her go.

Chen Ahfu had a plan in mind, so he pulled Wang into the room and whispered to her, then called Xue Dagui over and whispered a few words to him. Xue Dagui nodded and hurried out the door.

More than half a minute later, Old Man Zeng not only invited Doctor Yu, but also Old Lady Chen, Chen Ye, Chen Agui, Mrs. Gao, Old Hu and others.

Mrs. Ding had suffered a great loss from Old Lady Chen before, so she was a little scared when she saw her coming. She said hurriedly, "We are not here to fight today. My old man is sick, and we are here to ask for money for medicine."

Old Lady Chen spat at her and cursed, "You damn whore, if I beat you up, I'll dirty my hands. Let me tell you, if you want to extort money from my son's family, you'll have no chance."

Ding pouted and said, "I am a stepmother, I don't have the blessing to use Juanniang's money, but my old man is Juanniang's biological father after all, he is sick and dying, Juanniang can't just eat big meat and live in a big house and let her biological father die of illness, right? How can this be called extortion, it's too ugly to say."

Old Lady Chen said, "My second daughter-in-law has a miserable life. Her biological mother died when she was young. With a stepmother, she also has a stepfather. The two siblings were abused by the stepmother and even sold for money. Their biological father didn't care. Alas, how pitiful they are."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ding dared not say a word and covered her face with a handkerchief and started crying.

Doctor Yu went over to check Wang Lao's pulse, and then opened his eyelids and mouth to check. He said in confusion, "His pulse is gentle, his tongue is light red, and his whites of the eyes are normal. There should be nothing wrong with his body..."

Wang Cai got anxious when he heard this and said, "Are you a doctor? My father is so sick that he can't walk, how can he be healthy?" He then said to Wang Shi, "Sister, Dad is your biological father. It's ok for you to ignore me and mom, but you have to take care of Dad, right? This doctor is a charlatan and his words can't be trusted. How about this, we don't ask for much, just give us fifty taels of silver and we will take Dad to the county town for treatment right away."

Chen Afu sneered, asked Chen Agui and Chu Xiaoniu to carry Old Man Wang into the upper room, and asked Doctor Yu to give him a thorough diagnosis.

Wang Cai and Ding wanted to follow in, but were stopped outside by Hu Laowu and others.

After entering the house and closing the door, Chen Ahfu glanced at Old Man Wang, who was lying on the armchair pretending to be sick, and said to Wang, "Mom, I originally wanted to persuade you to let go of your previous prejudices. No matter how bad he is, he is still your biological father. You can just support him in the future, and it won't cost much more money. But now he is so sick, he is waiting to die. He can't eat or wear clothes. Even if you give him money, it will be a shameless mother and son. Why? Let's do this. Let Doctor Yu prescribe some good medicine for him, and give some money to your aunt, and let her make soup and boil medicine for him every day. Even if he dies, you will have fulfilled your filial piety."

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Man Wang sat up and said, "Ahfu, Juanniang, I'm not sick... Oh, not really. I was sick at first, but then I knew my daughter and granddaughter were filial, so I got better. Juanniang, Dad is suffering now. He eats soup and vegetables every day, and can't drink any meat soup in a month. You should give Dad more money and let him enjoy your blessing. Tell others about it, and your reputation will be good."

Wang said with red eyes, "You only know how to enjoy yourself. Do you know that Ding sold my brother to Xiaoli Village, where he was almost tortured to death by that family? At the age of thirteen, he replaced that man to go to the border to fight. Now I don't know whether he is alive or dead..." As she said the last part, she began to sob.

Old man Wang stammered, "I didn't know Chengzi was sold by that evil woman Ding. When I got home, she said she sold Chengzi to another family to enjoy a better life, and I..."

Seeing this selfish, cowardly and irresponsible man, Chen Ahfu really wanted to sweep him out with a broom. He had ignored Wang's siblings for women and money, and now he could ignore the woman outside the house for money.

She took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger and said in a cold voice, "According to you, all the bad things were done by Ding family?"

Old man Wang nodded.

Chen Ahfu asked again, "Was it Ding's idea to sell my mother alone?"

Old man Wang nodded again.

"Whose idea was it to push you here and pretend to be sick today?"

"Yes, it's also her." said Old Man Wang.

Chen Ahfu said, "Such a lazy and evil woman not only abused the children left by her ex-wife, but also sold them to satisfy her own food, drink and entertainment. How should such a wicked woman with no moral integrity be dealt with?"

"Ah? What should we do?" Old Man Wang asked in confusion with his cloudy eyes.

Chen Ahfu said, "It is your family's business to decide how to deal with her. As a junior, I cannot say anything." He then asked, "Do you want to enjoy my mother's blessing?"

Old Man Wang swallowed his saliva and said, "Of course. Juanniang is my own daughter. I can't let her eat meat and live in a good house while letting her father starve to death, right?"
