The next day
"Grandma, are you alright? Was the fall serious? What did the doctor say?"
"How are you feeling now? Are you alright?" The female protagonist entered her grandmother's room and asked her grandmother, who was lying on the bed.
His face was full of worry, his words were full of concern, and his voice was filled with worry.
"Sanya, it's Sanya back! Why are you back?"
"Whether it was your uncle who did it or not, I've already told you I'm fine. I just fell down. I'm getting old, and my body is a bit weak."
"Your uncle heard me talking about your father these past few days, and that I hadn't seen you for so long, so he took it upon himself to go find you!"
"Honestly, I'll talk to him when I see him!"
"Ouch... Ouch!" Then, the grandmother seemed to have touched her wound because she was too excited, and she yelped in pain.
"Grandma, don't get agitated. It's not Uncle's fault. As his granddaughter, I should come back and visit him now that I know."
"Where did you bump into? Do you have any medicine? What did the doctor say?" The female lead, Mo Yan, seemed at a loss, unsure how to react.
"Sigh, it's been like this for days. I got some painkillers for the first couple of days, but I've already finished them. Besides, there are so many people in my family and so many mouths to feed. I don't have any money to waste on this."
"Sigh, I'm old, I'm old, I don't have many years left to live, so don't waste your money on me." The grandmother said sadly, her face showing both heartbreak and fear of her unknown fate.
Hey brat, hurry up and tell me you'll pay!
Hand over the money now!
The grandmother was screaming inwardly, but outwardly she was still putting on an act.
"It's alright, Grandma, you'll be fine soon, don't worry. Besides, your uncles are here at home, so you don't need to worry about them."
The female lead acted as if she hadn't heard that any family was poor, glossing over the issue and pushing all the responsibility onto her uncles!
Meanwhile, the female lead's grandmother, who was standing to the side, almost lost control of her expression and couldn't continue acting.
They've really hardened their hearts when they're out in the world!
His own grandmother is sick in bed and they don't have money to buy medicine, but he doesn't even know to take out the money he has. He's so heartless!
Thinking of this, the female protagonist's grandmother's face turned somewhat unpleasant.
The female protagonist's aunt, who had come along, stepped forward and said to her...
“Sanya, things are tough at home too. All year round, the harvest from the fields is barely enough to feed us, and we don’t have any savings.”
"When my mother-in-law suddenly fell and got injured, it felt like the sky had fallen on our family. We even had to borrow money from the village committee to pay for taking her to the hospital." After saying this, she couldn't help but sob softly.
"Sanya, if you have the ability, please help out. Your aunt will remember your kindness. It's just that everyone in the family works in the fields and doesn't get ahead. Otherwise, your aunt wouldn't have the face to ask you for help!"
The female lead's aunt looked at her with a face full of shame, but her eyes also revealed a hint of hope.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you...you...you...how can you talk to a junior like that! I'm not that bad yet!"
"At worst, I'll just go first. I've lived this long enough! Don't make things difficult for the children. Waaah, don't worry about the family anymore. This, this is my fate! Waaah."
After the female lead's grandmother finished speaking, she looked like she was about to cry, with tears welling up in her eyes.
The female protagonist realized at this point why she had been called back; it turned out that he had come all this way to try and get money out of her!
How dare you!
They even have their eyes on the money of the younger generation!
I don't believe it myself, there's no money in the family to even pay for Grandma's medical treatment!
Putting everything else aside, you should at least receive a pension for your father who died young!
Do you really think you're as stupid as an idiot?
You believed it so easily?
Although I have been away from home for a while, it's not like I've been away for so long that I've forgotten my family's temperaments!
My grandma had such a long face just now, I didn't even dare to look at her, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to resist calling her out!
Judging from her expression, she's probably not in any serious trouble!
They called me back because they wanted to make some money or something!
I won't be fooled so easily!
"Grandma, don't think like that. You still have so many grandchildren. What will happen to them if you leave? The family still needs you to support it!"
"Don't worry. Although I'm still a student and don't have much ability, I have 50 cents that I've saved up by scrimping and saving. I'll do my part."
As she spoke, the female protagonist, Mo Yan, took out a small cloth bag from her pocket and pulled out fifty cents from it.
Hand it to your aunt!
At this moment, apart from the female protagonist, the other two people in the room looked rather unpleasant.
What good is five cents?
The female lead's aunt was so angry she almost twisted her mouth. Wasting so much breath, and all she got was 50 cents?
This is like trying to fob off a beggar!
So, afterwards,
“Sanya, your aunt won’t ask for much. Just take twenty yuan. Consider it a loan from the family. We’ll pay you back when we have more money.”
The female lead's aunt tried her best to put on a kind expression and spoke to the female lead, her voice even carrying a hint of goodwill.
"What? Twenty yuan? Auntie, you really overestimate me. I'm just a student, how could I possibly have twenty yuan!"
"I really don't. I still rely on the Mo family for food and clothing!"
The female protagonist looked astonished, seemingly unable to believe that her aunt would think she had so much money. She found it incredible and wondered if her aunt had gone crazy for money!
"Sanya, if you're like this, then there's nothing more to say. I know better than anyone whether you have money or not."
"It's best to give some to the family, that way everyone will be happy, otherwise it won't look good!" The female lead's aunt changed her previous amiable expression, her face turned ugly, and her voice contained a hint of threat.
"Aunt, what exactly are you trying to say!" The female lead no longer acted like a dutiful grandson, her face turning cold and her voice dropping several decibels.
Meanwhile, the female lead's grandmother didn't say a word, as if she didn't see that her eldest daughter-in-law was making things difficult for the female lead, and her face was still showing the same worried look as before!
"The black market!" the female protagonist's aunt whispered in her ear, a hint of smugness on her face.
"How did you know?!" Upon hearing those two words, the female protagonist's expression changed drastically, filled with shock!
What's going on?!
Even though I'm so careful and always disguise myself when I go to the black market, I still managed to be discovered!
It's the Zhang family, whom I hate!
The female lead was initially quite surprised upon hearing the news, but she quickly calmed down after a while, as if she hadn't been there at all!
Having decades of experience, I still have that much composure!
"I don't know what you're talking about! What Black Clan or White Clan? I don't know them!" the female lead said coldly, her voice slightly icy.
