Chapter 7 Treating My Second Brother
When Second Uncle saw Chang Xixi crying and shouting, her mouth twitching and her eyelids twitching, Second Aunt and Second Uncle looked at each other with confusion in their hearts.
Chang Xixi couldn't believe it. It had only been a short while, and her second uncle, who lived in the city, knew that her family was rich. It must be the people in the village gossiping about it.
Dou went to the street to buy things, but there was no silk or scarf among her purchases, so she had no chance to meet anyone. The only person she met was Zhang Xiucai, who often went to the city.
There was a private school in the city, and I went there every day to show my diligence.
She spat, stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sobbed pitifully.
"Uncle, I didn't know before, but my second brother's leg can still be saved. I thought you've been doing business for so many years, you should have some savings. You've also seen the situation of my family. You wear silk and satin, while my second brother and I have to live on coarse cloth and porridge. There's not even a single extra vegetable in the house."
"What do you mean?" Second Aunt stood up and looked at Chang Xixi warily. She knew that this girl from the Chang family was not simple as soon as she entered the door.
"Aunt, I mean the same thing as you. You want to come to my house to ask for money, and I want you to fulfill your responsibility as an uncle and give some money to my second brother for medical treatment."
Chang Xixi stretched out her hand.
It happened that the chickens were not fed today, and they were starving. They smelled the scent of powder on Second Aunt's body and became interested in the flowers on her skirt.
The old hen pecked at the clothes a few times, and the clothes were torn apart.
Chang Xixi couldn't help laughing out loud, covering her mouth, "Second Aunt, you look at that butterfly-shaped chicken of ours, you thought it was real!"
"How can you talk like that, little girl? Get rid of it." As Second Aunt said this, she kicked the chicken in the stomach. The chicken flapped its wings a few times, then fell to the ground and died, twitching.
Chang Xixi knelt on the ground, hugging the old hen, and shouted, "Second Aunt, no matter how much you hate me, you shouldn't take it out on Ah Hua! I just said that I found a miracle doctor for my second brother, and I want you to be kind and squeeze out a little food from your teeth to help our family. How can you..."
After returning the rice, Dou happened to see this scene and looked extremely surprised.
Why was her beloved little daughter kneeling on the ground? She was a rich lady who had lived in the Zhou family for more than ten years, so she was busy helping her up.
Chang Xixi complained in a tearful voice, "Mom, Second Aunt kicked our egg-laying hen to death and threw my second brother out, saying he was a burden."
As she spoke, Chang Xixi looked at her second aunt with a blaming look, as if she had done something unforgivable.
Second Aunt opened her eyes wide and looked at Chang Xixi, "Xixi, what are you doing? Second Aunt didn't do anything. Didn't you say you would give me money?"
A cruel smile flashed across Chang Xixi's lips. Turn the tables?
snort!
She hugged the chicken in her arms and cried even harder, "Second Aunt, where does the family get the money? We haven't even gathered enough money for my second brother's medicine. And you kicked the laying hen to death. Our whole family is doomed."
Second Aunt's face was so red, blue, white and purple with shame that it looked like a spice jar that had been knocked over on the stove.
For a moment, it looked very beautiful.
Chang Xixi chuckled and cried, asking for justice for the old hen in her hand, and then she talked about the theory that chickens lay eggs and eggs lay chickens.
Second uncle understood the meaning of these words. It turned out that the third girl was trying to extort money.
The day before, I heard that she had blackmailed Mr. Zhang, but I didn't believe it. I thought that Mr. Zhang didn't get the upper hand in the Chang family and was deliberately slandering her. Now it seems that this third girl has grown up.
"Okay, how much is it? I'll pay for this chicken."
Second Uncle thought that a chicken was only ten copper coins, compared to which, the pearl that Dou Shi had lost at the pawnshop was just a drop in the bucket.
Chang Xixi's eyes lit up, she put down the old hen in her hand, stood up, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile towards her uncle's twitching cheek, "Twenty-five taels of silver."
"What?"
Second uncle opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped.
Chang Xixi's face looked uncertain. When she raised her head, there were no traces of tears on her face. It was obvious that she was just pretending to cry.
Second Aunt also discovered the clue, she was trying to extort money!
Today, he was defeated by a little girl. She grabbed his head and tried to leave. "That's too much. I shouldn't acknowledge such a relative. Let the neighbors talk."
Seeing that she could not gain any benefits, Second Aunt began to use moral blackmail.
It’s simply that the eldest son doesn’t provide for the elderly, and everything depends on the second son.
Chang Xixi knew that all the old man's property had been given to his second uncle's family, and his father and mother didn't get a single cent! At the beginning, they had agreed not to take any money, but to support the old man.
"Okay! Then we'll see who's right! There's no need to call the county magistrate, just call the village chief."
After Chang Xixi finished speaking, she turned around and asked Dou, "Mom, when we divided the family property, did we have a written document? It clearly states that you will serve the old man for the next hundred years."
Seeing that Chang Xixi was so tough, the second uncle was afraid that he would not be able to win her over today and it would be best for him to leave.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for today! I wanted to come and see you and brother, but I didn't expect to make Xixi unhappy."
"Uncle, I'm not unhappy. I don't want you to compensate me for the chicken, but you have to pay for my brother's medical expenses. I just found a miracle doctor to treat my brother, and we don't have any money! He's your nephew after all. If you don't feel sorry for him, do you expect others to? The money isn't much. The miracle doctor wants ten taels of silver."
Dou was about to pull Chang Xixi's sleeve and ask where she had found the miracle doctor, but when she saw Chang Xixi wink at her, she gave up.
Second Uncle was speechless when asked. Second Aunt walked forward and stood in front of Second Uncle, blocking Chang Xixi's sight.
