"Why don't we just give him the money? We're all from the same village. We can't let two relationships be ruined over ten yuan, can we?"
"You can't be so heartless. We're all from the same village, so just consider it a helping hand."
"Yes, we're from the same village, we have to consider their relationship, right?"
Those who spoke up for her were all on good terms with Li Fenfang; Li Fenfang must have given them prior notice.
Li Fenfang glanced at the tightly closed door and wondered why the young widow hadn't opened it yet. Hadn't they agreed on everything? What was going on?
As she spoke, she stepped forward and slammed the object a few times.
The young widow's eldest son opened the door, sobbing, "My mom took my sister to the hospital! Waaah, my sister is going to die!"
The little boy rubbed his eyes, wearing only a thin shirt in the cold weather, looking pitiful. He was holding the hand of his youngest child, who was oblivious to the world around him, looking at everyone with a blank expression, sniffling, his face covered in mud.
What a coincidence! The child is sick? Li Fenfang was a little unsure what the young widow was thinking. She had clearly agreed to it, hadn't she?
"Well, let's talk about it another day." Li Fenfang turned and left.
Meanwhile, the young widow was shopping in the county town with her daughter.
Suddenly having so much money in my hands, I should buy some clothes for the kids. I need to spend it quickly, or they'll make me pay it back.
Li Fenfang had no choice but to head to the next house, which was the house of the woman with the floral cotton-padded jacket.
Before she even reached her doorstep, she heard the roaring sounds of the woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket fighting with her husband.
"What? You actually gambled? And you owe a thousand yuan!" The woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket cried as she grabbed a rope and started to hang herself from the rafters. "I don't want to live anymore! What's the point of living? I'm drowning in debt, how am I ever going to pay it back!"
Her husband lifted her legs to prevent her from putting the rope around her neck, and said in a low voice, "Wife, I was wrong, please don't do anything rash."
The onlookers rushed forward, lifted the floral cotton-padded jacket off the stool, and snatched the rope away.
"What are you doing? Look at your child! What will happen to your child if you die?"
"That's right, you're a mother now, you can't be so heartless!"
"Your man has already admitted his mistake, so you should forgive him."
...
A group of people tried to persuade him, but the woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket just stared blankly at them and ignored everyone.
Li Fenfang was so angry that she kept cursing in her heart. If she asked for the ten yuan back at this moment, she would probably be scolded to death by the villagers.
The person was so worried they were about to hang themselves, but they owed a thousand yuan! And you're thinking of adding fuel to the fire? Don't you have any compassion? Li Fenfang knew perfectly well that speaking up at this point would only lead to trouble.
Left with no other option, Li Fenfang had to leave the house of the woman in the cotton-padded jacket with her entourage.
The group followed them forward. Once everyone was gone, the woman in the flowery cotton-padded jacket quickly wiped away her tears, stood up abruptly, and said, "Pah! You want money from me? Don't you know who I am?"
Her husband gave her a thumbs up and said, "Wife, that was a brilliant move."
I ran into two nails in a row, and they were the kind of soft nails that made it impossible for me to exert any force, which was incredibly awkward.
This immediately put the Zhang family in a dilemma. What should they do? Li Fenfang slammed her hand on the table, determined to succeed! Tomorrow, she would strike at the root of the problem!
