plan
What to do? Just deal with it!
What a greedy bunch of scoundrels! Her husband died, and they only paid 5,000 yuan in funeral expenses. They've already taken half of that, and now they're eyeing the other half.
They even said she ruined the patient's leg, but it wasn't her who did it. They've already separated their families, so why should she pay so much money in compensation? The mother and daughter just want to live peacefully, so why are they in their way?
It's one thing for her to be a married woman, but Yao Yao is the granddaughter of the Wang family! They treat her like she's not even human. It's truly heartless!
Wang Yao watched her mother sitting on the low stool, seemingly lost in thought, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, her face flushed red. She quickly patted her mother's back, "Don't be angry, what's there to be angry about with them? Let's just ignore them. Who cares what kind of patient they are? It's not like we made them sick, why should we pay for their treatment!"
Liu Xiangmei took Wang Yao's hand and said earnestly, "When school starts, you must study hard. Once you get into university, never come back. Stay as far away from this place and that family as possible!"
Wang Yao: "..."
How did this turn into talking about studying? But since she heard her mother bring up the topic, she quickly replied, "I know, Mom, you should come with me too, let's get far away from this place."
We will absolutely not miss any opportunity to persuade her mother to leave this place!
Looking at her innocent daughter, Liu Xiangmei sighed in her heart. She was born and raised in this place, and even when she got married, she married a man who lived just across the mountain. How could she leave him?
What will they eat and drink if they leave? Although they have more than two thousand yuan at home, the expenses outside are huge. Even drinking water costs money. Unlike in the mountains, where even if you don't have money, you can just wander into any forest and fill your stomach. If you don't have money outside, you can only beg for food.
She took out a pair of straw sandals from the corner of the wall, and while taking off her liberation shoes, she said, "Don't talk nonsense. Mom grows some vegetables and raises some livestock at home. The money from selling them can help you with your living expenses. If we go out, will we starve?"
After saying that, she had already put on her straw sandals and picked up the hoe placed in the corner of the wall. "Alright, don't worry about it. I'll stay at home. They can't possibly eat me, can they? I'm going to check on the fields. I was planning to have you come with me, but the fields are very wet right now. You can stay home and feed the chickens."
Wang Yao's house is on the left, and her grandfather's house is on the right, so the bamboo grove on the right belongs to her grandfather. Wang Yao's chickens are all free-range in the bamboo grove on the left side of the yard.
Wang Yao scooped a ladleful of corn kernels from the grain bag, squatted down by the steps, and scattered handfuls of them to the chicks, watching them peck at them.
As Liu Ailing stepped out the door, she saw Wang Yao squatting there alone. She tiptoed behind Wang Yao and was about to make a move when she heard Wang Yao's voice, "Auntie, even if I die, I will not let you go."
The faint female voice, accompanied by the sound of wind rustling through bamboo leaves, sent chills down Liu Ailing's spine. She instinctively shuddered, but stubbornly insisted, "You, what does your death have to do with me?"
Wang Yao stood up, turned to look at Liu Ailing, and said, "It's best if it's not related. If it is, then you'd better sleep with one eye open at night."
Liu Ailing looked at Wang Yao, who stood with her back straight, her eyes filled with disgust and warning. She sneered, "What, you're so upset about borrowing a little money from you? When your father was alive, he always talked about being family. Now that the family is in trouble, you don't want to lend a hand. Is this what you call being family?"
Wang Yao: "Is that what you call borrowing money? I bet you can't sleep at night just thinking about the two thousand yuan that my mom and I have, and you can't wait to take it for yourselves, right? But why should you?"
Liu Ailing felt a moment of unease when her little scheme was exposed, but she quickly looked straight at Wang Yao and said, "Hmph, not wanting to lend money and not caring about the life or death of her family, it's just selfishness in the end. Then don't try to be a hypocrite and pretend to be virtuous. Stop spouting nonsense about being family to disgust people."
Wang Yao: "I never said such things. Those were just my dad's foolish words because he couldn't see the wolfish ambitions and profit-seeking nature of your family. Don't you know what kind of person you are? Why do you take such words to heart?"
Liu Ailing was furious. This girl was so ill-mannered! She was an elder, after all. How dare this brat talk to her like that? It must be that useless woman, Liu Xiangmei, who hadn't raised her properly. If she had a daughter like this, she would have drowned her in a chamber pot long ago.
Seeing Liu Ailing's resentful eyes, Wang Yao slightly curled the corners of her mouth. She liked to see them angry; it would be most satisfying to see them so angry they died.
It's a pity that her father, a good man, didn't live long, while her family of wicked people lived a long life.
Wang Yao knew that if she had avoided being sold in her previous life, her grandmother would not have been imprisoned like in her previous life, and her grandfather would not have died young because of rumors.
But she couldn't possibly let herself fall into their trap again and be sold out again just to make them pay the price.
But she could also take advantage of this trap, couldn't she?
She could use this trap to get her mother to leave this place with her.
Although she hated that family to the core, she still had the blood of the Wang family flowing through her veins.
If she doesn't completely break with the Wang family, even if she and her mother leave this place, they might still entangle her in the future.
Therefore, she could use this trap to completely break with that family without being branded as ungrateful.
Thinking of this, Wang Yao looked at Liu Ailing: "Auntie, are you angry already? Are you so angry you're itching to get your teeth clean? Don't worry, you won't see me for long. I'm planning to go visit some classmates in a couple of days, and then I'll go straight to school. Don't miss me too much."
Liu Ailing scoffed inwardly, "Who would miss you? Wait, she's going to meet a classmate and won't be coming back."
How can that be? My mother-in-law was just saying a few days ago that one of her good friends wanted to become even closer to her through marriage. If this brat leaves, how can we become even closer?
Liu Ailing forced a smile, "You're so old already, all you do is play. You can always find your classmates. Your dad's gone, and you don't even know how to help your mom with chores at home. What good is your mom if she gave birth to you?"
Wang Yao felt particularly pleased as she looked at the distorted expression on Liu Ailing's face. "What's it to you? Anyway, I'm leaving in a couple of days, and I won't have to see your old face anymore, hmph!"
"Old face"? Who is this referring to?
Liu Ailing subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face. She applies Pechoin cream to her face every morning, so how could it be an old face?
At the very least, she looks much younger than Liu Xiangmei!
Watching Wang Yao walk briskly home, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
That brat! Like mother, like daughter! She's so ill-mannered and annoying. We have to get her out of here as quickly as possible and make sure she never appears in front of me again!
Back home, Wang Yao stood by the window and looked out, taking in the terrifying smile that appeared on Liu Ailing's face. She also saw that Liu Ailing, who had been carrying a basket for picking vegetables and was about to go to the field, was now quickly turning back home.
This woman must be anxious; she's probably going home to discuss countermeasures with Liu Lan.
Wang Yao also quickly went out and squatted down in the spot where she had been eavesdropping not long ago.
Just as I was getting ready to listen carefully to the conversation inside, someone patted me on the shoulder.
Wang Yao was startled and turned around to see Grandpa Li.
Wang Yao didn't have time to talk to Old Man Li at this moment, so she simply told him to squat down like her.
The two squatted face to face under the window and heard Liu Ailing's voice coming from inside the room.
"Mom, we need to think of something. If that brat really leaves early, it will be inconvenient for us to take action after she goes to school."
Liu Lan: "What's all the fuss about? It's just a small matter, what's the rush? If it doesn't work this time, we can wait until she has her next holiday to take action, it's the same thing."
Liu Ailing: "Mom, how can that be the same? Tianhua is still waiting to pay compensation. With Liu Xiangmei's temper, she definitely won't be willing to come up with that much money. Let's marry that brat Wang Yao off as soon as possible. We can use the dowry money to scrape together some money to give to them first. If we wait until she has her next holiday, it will be too late."
Liu Lan: "Why rush to pay compensation? If we delay any longer, maybe they'll see that we really don't have any money and ask for less."
Liu Ailing: "Mom, how can I not be anxious? If people make a scene, what will the villagers think of Tianhua? Who will dare to seek treatment from Tianhua in the future?"
After a moment of silence, Liu Lan spoke again: "Alright, whether she marries early or late, she'll still get married. Let's find out when Wang Yao is going to visit her classmates, and then call the Chen family to come and pick her up in advance."
Hearing this from outside the door, Wang Yao felt a surge of excitement. The trap had been successfully set. On the day she set off, she would let everyone know that Liu Lan was a vicious woman who sold her granddaughter for money!
Old Li, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. He glanced at Wang Yao, thinking, "I heard this girl got into high school. Why is she getting married again?"
Liu Ailing's voice rang out again from inside the house: "Hahaha, I knew Mom loved Tianhua. Anyway, that brat was going to marry into that family sooner or later. The sooner she marries, the better she can develop feelings for that idiot. Once she gets to that village, won't she never be able to come back?"
Liu Lan said smugly, "Of course! My friend was sold there by her own mother. Her husband was almost forty when he married her. That place is so remote that even ghosts wouldn't go there. Now that she has this mentally challenged son, it's even harder for him to find a wife. Wang Yao went there just to have a son for the mentally challenged man. If she doesn't have a son, she can't run away. No way. We'll kick Liu Xiangmei out later, and then our house will be peaceful."
As soon as Liu Lan finished speaking, Old Man Li jumped up and rushed into the Wang family's house.
He was moving so fast that he didn't seem like an old man at all. Wang Yao didn't even have time to stop him and could only follow Old Man Li into the house.
Liu Lan and Liu Xiangmei were so engrossed in plotting their mischief that they didn't notice anyone eavesdropping outside. They were both surprised to see Old Man Li rush in.
