After all, she was Liu's biological mother. In the end, Liu gave all of her savings of fifty coins from last year, her daughter's New Year's money, and the pocket money her mother-in-law gave her this year, totaling two hundred coins, to Liu Houshi.
The Liu family: ?(?д??;)?
Good heavens! They realized that this family certainly wouldn't lend them that much money, but it must be at least several dozen taels of silver, right?
Two hundred coins! This was a number they never even dreamed of!
The key point is that Madam Liu kept reminding Madam Liu how filial her daughter was.
"Mom, this is all the money I have left! I'm giving it all to you! Just you wait and see, I'm definitely better than some sons. Just wait and see which of your sons will be willing to give you all the family's wealth!"
This infuriated her brother and sister-in-law to the point of collapse.
After seeing off her family members who had called her "heartless" and "unfilial," Liu was still heartbroken over the money she had given away—it represented the entire fortune of her small family!
If that person hadn't been her mother, she definitely would have taken it back immediately!
Well, it's not that she didn't want to snatch it, it's that her mother had put the money in her bosom, and her husband was also there. It wouldn't look good if she actually tried to snatch it.
So, Lin Chaodong is just too dense. If he had any sense, he would have made an excuse to leave, and maybe her money would have come back.
As a result, Lady Liu took her anger out on the family.
"Lin Chaodong, can't you hurry up a bit? You're not even as efficient as a woman like me when it comes to work. Are you trying to slack off?"
"Lin Chaodong, can't you lend a hand when I'm cooking? Picking and washing vegetables, will it break your hands?"
"Lin Chaodong, didn't you see what a mess Xiaoman'er's body is in? Can't you even keep a proper eye on her? You're useless at everything, what am I supposed to do with you?!"
...
Enraged, Liu made Lin Chaodong kneel down. He remained silent during the day, but even when Liu begged for mercy at night, he did not let her go.
"Mother! Mother! Man'er's mother is bleeding!"
In the middle of the night, Lin Chaodong, disheveled, knocked on Yue Jiuyue's door.
"What's wrong? Didn't you get your period?"
Yue Jiuyue only asked this question, and she thought that Lin Chaodong was ignorant and didn't understand women's affairs, and had scared himself.
"No, Man'er's mother's period isn't in the next few days!"
Lin Chaodong was really panicked. He thought he had hurt Liu Shi, so he wanted to ask Yue Jiuyue, who had been through this before, if there was any way to stop the bleeding. After all, the wound wasn't on the outside, so he couldn't use wood ash.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and take your wife to the town clinic!"
Yue Jiuyue quickly put on her clothes and then ran to the back to help. The two brothers next door also heard the commotion and hurried out, one borrowing a car and the other gathering straw.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chaonan actually borrowed an oxcart, and even the village chief's younger brother came along.
"Hurry up, spread out the straw, lots of it, the journey is going to be very bumpy! Then spread out the blankets, and we'll need to cover you with another blanket. Someone needs to sit in front and hold on to you, so you don't slip off..."
This wasn't the first time Lin Jianing had driven an oxcart to take people to the town clinic, so he was much more familiar with what needed to be prepared than these "inexperienced" people. He directed the family to quickly prepare the things and didn't forget to remind them to leave someone at home to look after the children.
