After hearing what Yu Jiao said, Zhao stepped forward with a shameless face and said, "Your uncle wants to open a pork shop to make a living. He needs ten taels... twenty taels of capital. You can give him some."
Yu Jiao leaned against the door frame, glanced at Zhao calmly, and took out a fifty-liang silver note from her bosom, waving it in front of Zhao and Yu Hanshan, "Twenty liang is not enough? Here is fifty liang, do you want it?"
Yu Jiao had asked Song Chun to take these fifty taels of silver notes to the town's money shop to exchange for silver so that they would be easy to carry. Now they came in handy.
Yu Hanshan's eyes lit up when he saw the banknotes in Yu Jiao's hand. He strode forward and grinned, "Meng girl is so generous. Twenty taels is indeed not enough. Fifty taels is just right."
Zhao's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, staring at the banknotes in Yu Jiao's hand without blinking.
Yu Jiao smiled lazily, "You want it? How about this, you kneel down and imitate the barking of a dog. If you bark like a dog and I am satisfied, I will give it to you."
The smiles on Yu Hanshan and Zhao's faces froze. After a pause, Zhao said, "Meng girl, don't be funny. How can your uncle and aunt bark like a dog?"
"If you don't want to learn, then forget it. It's not that I won't give you money." Yu Jiao stuffed the banknote into her sleeve.
Seeing this, Yu Hanshan's face flashed with ferocity, and he stepped forward to snatch it. Yu Jiao quickly backed away, holding the banknote in her hand and pretending to tear it up, "Want to snatch it? Then just tear it up."
Seeing that Yu Jiao had already torn a crack in the banknote, Yu Hanshan suddenly became very anxious and did not dare to step forward to snatch it. Looking at Yu Jiao's calm and cold face, it was clear that she would never give it to them even if she tore it up.
"You damn girl! That's fifty taels of silver. If you dare to tear it, I will beat you to death!" Yu Hanshan cursed.
Yu Jiao ignored him completely and moved her thumb slightly, causing the tear in the banknote to become even bigger. Yu Hanshan was anxious and afraid, and he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he could do nothing.
Yu Zhou had been hiding in the room and didn't want to show up, but the two good-for-nothings of the Zhao family couldn't even get the money right in front of them.
She walked out of the room with a fake smile on her face, and hurriedly said to Yu Jiao, "Meng girl, what are you doing? You can't vent your anger on banknotes, right? Your uncle and aunt want to make a living to earn more money for the family. The three brothers in the family are going to take the imperial examinations, and there will be many places to spend money in the future! When your uncle's pork shop is up and running, he will return the principal to you when he makes money. The money you have saved now is useless, why not use it to make money? You are one of our family members. If the Yu family becomes rich, how can we not benefit from you?"
Yu Jiao stopped tearing up the banknotes and smiled faintly, "Grandma's words sound better than singing, but I am not blind. The money has been in the hands of Uncle San and Aunt San, and then I will return it? Ask them if they believe this? Do you believe it yourself? I am short-sighted and cannot see the benefits in the future. Uncle San and Aunt San want the money, and I said I can give it to them. Kneel down and bark like a dog!"
"Meng Yujiao, don't go too far!" Yu Hanshan's eyes turned red with anger, staring at Yu Jiao, "How can an elder kneel down to you! And don't even think about barking like a dog, it's not that humiliating!"
"I'm going too far?" Yu Jiao laughed in anger. Her clear almond eyes were like a pool of clear water in a cold pond. She looked directly at Yu Hanshan. "Who doesn't know the dirty thoughts of you three wives? You say you are the elder, but how can you act like an elder? You want to beat me to death every time you open your mouth. Do you think I'm really afraid of you? I still remember the beating I received back then! You don't need to remind me every day. I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"
She seldom gets angry. Her grandfather has taught her to cultivate her character since she was a child. She believes that a doctor should avoid being has a bad temper. Only a doctor with a calm mind can subtly soothe patients.
But Tai Yan has been so upset these days. Anyone can step on her head. She is in a bad mood today. She knows what these troublesome guys from the Yu family are planning. She might as well teach them a lesson today.
"It's okay if you don't want to kneel down and bark like a dog, since you consider yourself an elder. Yu Jinyan and Yu Jinshu are not elders, right? They kneel down and bark happily, so I will give them the money!" Yu Jiao continued with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
The two sons were the apple of Zhao's eye. How could she tolerate being treated like this by Yu Jiao? She was filled with rage.
Yu Hanshan couldn't stand her arrogant words and immediately became furious. He raised his hand to slap Yu Jiao, but a hand reached out from behind and accurately grasped Yu Hanshan's wrist.
Yu Hanshan stared, he didn't expect that the person who stopped him was Yu Qizhe. He frowned and tried to shake off Yu Qizhe's hold, but he couldn't. Yu Qizhe, who was usually sick and frail, actually squeezed his elbow tightly. Not only that, he was also secretly exerting force, which made Yu Hanshan's bones ache.
"Fifth brother, let go! This little girl is becoming more and more outrageous. She won't behave herself unless she is severely punished!" Yu Hanshan glared at Yu Qizhe angrily and said in a rough voice.
Yu Qizhe took a step forward, protecting Yu Jiao behind him, and said in a cold voice, "Third Uncle is reaching too far."
"You...you Yu Qizhe! I am your uncle and your elder, and it is my duty to teach her a lesson. Do you want to send this evil creature to heaven?" Yu Hanshan said angrily.
Yu Qizhe's arms were slightly tensed, and his five fingers with distinct joints pushed Yu Hanshan's hand away with hidden strength. He stood tall and stood in front of Yu Jiao, "She is my roommate, and Third Uncle has overstepped the line. I'm not saying she is not wrong, but even if she is wrong, it's not Third Uncle's turn to reprimand her. Third Uncle, please respect yourself."
Yu Hanshan was pushed back and staggered half a step. He wondered how Yu Qizhe could be so strong. He rubbed his elbow which was pinched and hurt, but still said unyieldingly, "What do you mean by 'person in the room'? She is not your person in the room now. I think you have recovered from your illness and you are meddling in other people's business!"
"She is not someone in the room, she is also my sister." Yu Qizhe's narrow peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light like a knife blade shone in his eyes, "If Third Uncle continues to be disrespectful to his elders, don't blame me for my rude words and deeds."
Yu Hanshan was so angry that veins popped on his forehead. Zhao was ready to throw a tantrum. Seeing that the quarrel was getting worse and worse, Yu Ruhai walked out of the main hall with a sullen face, "What are you all bored about? What are you making a fuss about? Do you really want to break up a good family? If the third brother wants the capital, just talk to Meng girl. Why are you making a fuss? We are all family. Can Meng girl not give it to you?"
Hearing this, Yu Jiao sneered and walked out from behind Yu Qizhe. Her watery almond eyes were clear and compelling as she stared at Old Man Yu, "You are wrong. You can't be so shameless and push your money. You hold 50% of the medical fee in your hand, and you are still calculating my private money. Do you really think I am a fool?"
She glanced at Yu Zhou and the third wife, her almond eyes flashing with coldness. She pulled out the torn banknote from her sleeve, rubbed it fiercely, and said without giving in, "I'm going to say this today. I can throw away or tear up the silver in my hand as I please. If you dare to plot against me again, forget about the 50% consultation fee. If there are patients coming to me in the future, I will provide free consultation! I mean what I say. If you try to be naughty again, you can try!"
