"Lili fell while trying to help you, didn't you hear her leg is injured? Why did you hit her?"
Another person said, "That's right. Even if you're biased, you can't treat Yong-ren's child like a child and beat her. She's still so young."
People outside chimed in, "That's right, she's your granddaughter too, feel sorry for her."
"That's right, she's still a child. We did all this for you, and you don't even appreciate it."
Gu was so angry that she cursed, "Bullshit! This little whore wasn't pulling me at all. She just kicked me. My leg is numb. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."
This movement strained her leg, making it hurt even more. After a short while, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Ouch, I think my wife's leg is broken, it hurts so much."
Gu's face looked really bad, and only then did everyone begin to believe that her leg was really hurting, but no one believed that Song Lili had kicked her.
Song Yongren, leaning on a cane carved from wood, asked anxiously, "Did you bump into something? Mother, get up and see if you can walk."
If you can walk, it means there's nothing wrong with your bones. If you can't walk, then there's probably something wrong with your bones. But it was just a fall, so your bones should be fine, right?
But Madam Gu didn't appreciate it at all. As if she had found an outlet for her anger, she glared fiercely at Song Yongren and said, "What are you up to? Huh? Didn't you hear me say my legs are numb? Can you get up?"
I didn't care that Song Yongren had been scolded. I just said to Song Jianshe, "Jianshe, help your grandma walk a few steps and see how she walks."
Song Jianshe obediently reached out his hand, but Gu Shi pushed it away, looking like a volcano about to erupt.
Song Lili really wanted to tell Song Yongren, "Don't worry about it. As long as it's any of these people from the Song family, they'll attack indiscriminately."
But she couldn't say it.
One of the people who helped advised, "Auntie, just take a look. If it's serious, then see a doctor. Otherwise, what if you suddenly experience pain later? Wouldn't that worry your family?"
Unexpectedly, this one sentence persuaded Madam Gu to soften her stance and reconcile.
Gu thought, "That's right. If something goes wrong later, Yongli will take care of it. He can check on it now, and if it gets worse, he can have the third son find a doctor."
Thinking about it this way, I felt a little less angry. Instead, I took the initiative to roll up my trouser leg and saw that my calf was swollen, but there was no bruising.
Gu reached out and poked her, immediately pulling her hand back in pain, and glared fiercely at Song Lili once again.
Song Lili simply pretended to be dead. Anyway, you have no evidence, and no matter how hard you try, you can't explain yourself. A glare won't hurt you.
Song Yongren kept urging, "Let's go, let's go and see."
He was genuinely worried. His mother was getting old, and her health was definitely not as good as that of a young person. Any bumps or bruises could be serious.
Fearing that the fat Song Yongli would worry, Gu Shi did not object this time. She walked a few steps with a limp, which reassured Song Yongren.
Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her leg was alright. The New Year was approaching, and it would have been very unlucky if there had been a problem.
However, the pain hadn't subsided yet; it had now turned into a throbbing, hard pain, not as intense, but still noticeable.
Taking the opportunity, Song Lili said, "Grandma, why don't I go find my uncle and have him come and pick you up? My uncle isn't available either, so why don't you let him take you home?"
If possible, I really don't want Song Yongren to deliver it.
Gu refused, saying irritably, "No need. Have Jianshe take me back, and bring half a bag of grain with me."
Song Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes. Even in this state, they still haven't forgotten about food.
She couldn't help but raise her voice, "Grandma, we don't have any food at home, we have to borrow it all. Why don't you go and borrow some too?"
Gu felt a pang in her heart, and she wanted to strangle this little harlot.
Then, he let out a long sigh of relief and said, "If there's no food, so be it. We're all brothers, and I can't let you go hungry. Give me a dollar, and I'll go buy some myself."
Song Lili was somewhat helpless. "Grandma, do you know that you're asking for the moon?"
You want another dollar. The whole family only has a little over a dollar to go. Do you think it's possible that you can take the lion's share all at once?
"Grandma, I broke my thigh bone, and all the money I received went to the hospital. There's nothing left."
"Didn't you make quite a bit of money selling cabbages? You can take that money too." Gu finally revealed her purpose for today.
Song Lili glanced at Gu Shi, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Grandma, you were sick in the spring, and the family owed more than ten yuan in debt. We have paid that money back to the debtors."
"There are still several dollars left to pay back. My uncle owes more than a dollar this time. Why don't you ask your uncle to pay some? We're brothers."
Since we're brothers, then help me out!
Gu Shi never expected that in the end, Song Yongli would have to pay for it. How could that be? Yongli doesn't have any money, okay?
“Your uncle has no money, and his family is also facing a famine. Your family will have to solve it themselves.” After saying that, he actually dragged his leg and pushed the person away and left.
Song Lili stared blankly. Was that... the end?
No more tantrums or rolling around on the ground? It just ended so easily? Was she hallucinating?
The onlookers were also confused. What did they say, and then they left?
After thinking for a long time, Song Lili suddenly realized that Gu Shi was afraid of making Song Yongli pay, which was why she left in a hurry.
Because Song Lili suggested that Song Yongli pay for it, Gu's mind was disturbed, and she failed to notice the loophole in Song Lili's words.
Otherwise, they would definitely know that getting sick in the spring could result in owing more than ten yuan. That's too much.
However, she was so focused on not letting her eldest son pay that she didn't pay attention to what Song Lili said and let Song Lili get away with it.
