"Haha," Zhang Xingrong couldn't help but laugh. This white lotus was so good at pretending, one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. "Do you really want me to come back? Do you want me to come back and let my brother continue to be beaten black and blue by you?"
Zhang Xinglian's face froze for a moment when she spoke of this, but she quickly reacted, tears welling in her eyes. "I didn't know about Shitou's incident, and I didn't know the child was beaten like that. But now that I know, I definitely won't let Shitou be bullied again. Children fighting is just ignorant, and as adults, we don't have to worry about it. If we knew, we would definitely teach them a lesson!"
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Lu Ran.
"That's very well said!" Zhang Xingrong smiled. "I've never seen a child so badly beaten after a fight. I won't go into the past, but since you want to help, how about some medical expenses? The barefoot doctor told me to take the money to the county hospital and have Shitou checked thoroughly before I can be assured. The cost will be at least a hundred yuan."
Zhang Xinglian: “…”
Zhang Xingrong is really eloquent now, making people feel at a loss as to how to respond! How could this idiot say such things before?
"Why are you so aggressive?" Cao Yimin couldn't stand it anymore. He had seen Zhang Xingrong bullying Lian Ya more than once.
Zhang Xingrong sneered, "I just told you a few truths, and you think I'm being aggressive? You think my brother being beaten like this is just aggressive?"
"You..." Cao Yimin didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhang Xinglian immediately stood up pitifully and said, "Sister, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of Shitou. I'll go back and ask my mother, and she'll definitely give you the money. My mother is also very upset about Shitou's situation and has been worried all night. Why don't you go back and see her?"
She saw Lu Ran looking at Zhang Xingrong and felt very uncomfortable.
Cao Yimin couldn't help but say, "This isn't your fault. He's not your brother. He's obviously this woman's brother. She didn't take good care of him. Why should she blame you?"
Zhang Xingrong squinted at the two of them. "Stop singing the same tune in front of me. If I sell you to a second-rate widower, how can you still be so carefree here? Zhang Xinglian, I'm waiting for your money. My brother is not someone you can just hit!"
The two were stunned and couldn't say a word.
Lu Ran also paused and looked at the woman in front of him.
Zhang Xingrong is different now. She used to like to use violence, but now she can even use reason.
Zhang Xinglian's eyes turned cold for a moment, but soon they turned red. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not trying to dissuade grandma, and that's why you've been wronged. I'll prepare the money."
As expected, with Lu Ran around, Zhang Xinglian had to act smart. This was a chance to make them bleed.
Zhang Xinglian didn't want to argue anymore. If it were in the past, she would definitely argue about who was right and who was wrong in front of Lu Ran and not let Lu Ran misunderstand her.
But now, she doesn't want to anymore.
Lu Ran had been listening to their conversation and couldn't help but ask, "Your brother..."
Zhang Xingrong ignored him, enduring the stabbing pain in her heart, and turned around: "Comrade Lin Dongyang, thank you for your help yesterday. I have no way to repay you. Here are the red bean paste cakes I made. Please accept them!"
Lin Zi was stunned when he saw the straw basket she handed over. "...For me?"
When Lu Ran saw Zhang Xingrong ignoring him again and again, his face suddenly turned dark.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in my heart.
