Zhao Genlin, crouching beside Gao Dani who was rolling around with her hands covering her head, growled in a low voice with a pained expression, "Can't you just shut up for a second?"
Zhao Dazhu, however, had a livid face as he supported Wang Guihua, who was on the verge of fainting, and coldly stared at Gao Dani.
After Zhao Genlin shouted those words, Gao Dani rolled over and sat up, her face disheveled, gritting her teeth and demanding, "What do you mean, 'quiet'? What did I do?"
Your father-in-law, your brother-in-law, and your sister-in-law are starving and shamelessly come to your house, their son-in-law and brother-in-law, asking to borrow some food, but you refuse to lend them any.
Are you just going to stand by and watch them starve to death? And you even have the nerve to tell me to shut up? Is your heart made of stone? How can your Zhao family be so heartless?
At this point, remembering the disappointed look on her father's face as he and her younger brother left, she let out another loud cry.
Zhao Genlin said bitterly, "We only have so little grain at home, and we'll have to wait until next autumn's harvest."
This grain wasn't earned by me alone. Your father asked for 500 jin of grain right off the bat. Where am I supposed to get so much grain?
"Besides, your father's village only recently set up a canteen, and the village did distribute grain back to them, so how did it come to the point of starvation?"
Gao Dani ignored this and retorted directly: "You said it yourself, that we have to wait until next autumn harvest. With the little grain that the village has distributed, how can it be enough for them to eat until next autumn harvest?"
Besides, it's not like we're short of money or food. What's wrong with lending them some?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Genlin raised his voice: "Is that just a small loan? You're asking for 500 jin of grain right off the bat. Your family has already spent a lot of money on your medical treatment. Your parents even traded their fine grains for coarse grains, just to save a few cents for your treatment. Don't you know any better?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Dani's face flashed with embarrassment.
She covered her face and cried, "I knew it! You all look down on me because I can't have children. That's why you despise my father and won't even grant me this small request."
My mother is so close to the Fu family next door, what's wrong with asking them for a little money?
They insist on making their own family live a frugal life, and then pin all the blame on me.
"Why is my life so miserable? I might as well hang myself and die."
Wang Guihua, who was leaning against Zhao Dazhu, was so angry that her fingers trembled when she heard Gao Dani's words.
He pointed at her and shouted angrily, "Die! Die! Our Zhao family has no daughter-in-law like you. Dazhu, I was blind to have found Genlin such a troublemaker!"
After Wang Guihua finished cursing, she pounded her chest and cried out to the sky.
She truly regretted it, regretting that she shouldn't have hastily arranged this marriage for her eldest son in order to avoid those two troublesome men in the village.
I regret it now, but it's too late for regrets.
Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing stood outside the courtyard gate, listening to the commotion inside, and fell silent.
The two exchanged a glance, Ning Jing gritted her teeth, and finally pushed open the courtyard gate.
"Brother Dazhu, Sister-in-law Guihua."
Upon seeing Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing walk in together, Wang Guihua couldn't help but cover her face.
Thinking about what Gao Dani had just said, she realized that the couple must have overheard her.
Wang Guihua felt that after living for so many years, she had lost all face and could no longer face anyone.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't catch his breath and fainted.
