192: The Old Lady Comes to the House Again

Liu Si Niang climbed out of the fire pit of the Zhao family in this way. The news spread throughout Hebian Village in less than half a day. However, no matter who was right or wrong in the eyes of the villagers, Liu Si Niang finally calmed down after a period of trance.

Su Zhi examined the wound on Liu Si Niang's head and found that it was quite serious. It would probably leave a scar, but with Su Zhi's medicine, the scar would definitely disappear.

Since Shen Ziju was injured last time, it was no longer a secret that Su Zhi could make some medicine. She also bought some herbs and kept them at home, thinking that she could make medicine whenever she needed it. Anyway, she could just add some lotus pollen to it. As long as these herbs were there, no one would suspect anything. Now it was just right for Liu Si Niang to use.

After applying the medicine, Liu Si Niang felt much better. She drank a bowl of hot and fragrant meat soup, lay down in the soft and warm quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Liu Si Niang woke up again, she was awakened by the sound of talking outside. She was startled and thought in a daze that she was still at the Zhao family. She thought that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were going to cause trouble for her again. When she got up and saw the house in front of her and the quilt under her hands, she remembered that she had really left the Zhao family and this was not a dream.

"Auntie Liu, are you awake?" Yueyue lifted the curtain and saw Liu Siniang sitting there. She ran in, climbed onto the kang nimbly and sat next to Liu Siniang.

"Aunt Liu, my grandmother and aunt are here again."

Yueyue frowned and said unhappily that she didn't like that grandmother and aunt. Children know who is good to them and who is not. Yueyue is very smart and has long known that her mother's family doesn't like her and her two brothers, especially the grandmother. She even asked her mother to sell them. Don't think she didn't hear it! Yueyue hated others selling them the most, because they were rescued from the kidnappers, and she hated others selling them the most.

Liu Si Niang knew that Zhao Yang and Lian Hua were here, because her family was from their village. Liu Si Niang heard the loud scolding coming from the main house, and she recognized that it was Zhao Yang. She wondered who Zhao Yang was scolding, and why she was so angry. If she hadn't recognized that it wasn't Su Zhi, she would have wanted to go over and stop them. But she was still a little worried, worried that Su Zhi was angry. So she asked Yue Yue.

Yueyue said: "My grandmother asked my mother to take charge and ask for money for them!"

Liu Si Niang thought that this was the case. It turned out that Su Zhi's family had been bullied by others. So her daughter had to help them seek justice. She got off the kang, thinking that she was now living with Su Zhi and knew Su Zhi's family. After all, her aunt and Zhao Yang were relatives. They were her elders, so she had to go and say hello.

Zhao Yang came with Zhao Xiaohua today. She ran out in front of the people in the village that day, and her trick of pretending to be sick was exposed. In addition, the conflict with the Liu family could not allow her to continue to pretend with a thick face. So she simply got up and became the main force to seek justice from the Liu family. She thought that if she didn't go, the Liu family would definitely not give money. As a result, as soon as Zhao Yang showed up, she asked the Liu family for ten taels of silver, saying that her grandson was born prematurely and his physique would be affected in the future, and her daughter-in-law's body was also damaged. It might be difficult to have a baby in the future, so she needed to replenish her body. Of course, the Liu family did not agree. That's how the quarrel ended. Zhao Yang hurried to find her daughter.

"My daughter, you must go and help me! Your sister-in-law is lying in bed and has no milk. Your nephew is so skinny that he cries like a kitten. Is it too much for me to ask the Liu family for ten taels of silver? It's not much at all. If your sister-in-law can't give birth in the future and your nephew has any misfortune, then our Zhao family will be extinct. Ten taels of silver is not enough for me to ask them for!"

Zhao Yang said loudly that she felt that what she asked for was not much, and she thought that the Liu family was too stingy and had no conscience for not giving her anything.

Lotus said, "Sister, you must go and help us. The Liu family is really bullying. Isn't it just that Liu Dabao is good at fighting? His moves are no match for my brother-in-law, who has killed a tiger. Moreover, my brother-in-law's younger brother is going to be a scholar, his sister has become the Rain Goddess, and the three children in my brother-in-law's family are also virgins. If we go, won't we be a hundred times better than him? Sister, just go and help!"

Su Zhi sat and listened, thinking that they had come to find her after all. Really, they asked the Liu family for ten taels of silver right away. For ordinary farmers, ten taels of silver was a lot of money. It would be strange if the Liu family was willing to pay. After all, in their eyes, Zhang gave birth to a baby prematurely, but the mother and child were safe. Even if they wanted to give money, it would not be ten taels. They must have thought that the Zhao family was blackmailing them, so it would be strange if they would give it.

"How much money did the Liu family agree to give?"

Su Zhi thought about how much money the Liu family could give. If it was too little, that would not work. She did not like the Liu family. This family had taken away the house, land and property of Liu Si Niang's family. If they did not care about Liu Si Niang, they were not good people. It would be better to let them bleed a little. And if they gave too little money, the Zhao family would be dissatisfied and would still come to bother her. As for these relatives of Zhao Xiaomei, she would naturally not ignore them, but she could not get close to them.

"They only agreed to give us 500 coins. They thought we were beggars!"

Zhao Yang's voice became even louder, and it was full of anger. Actually, five hundred coins was a lot of money for a farmer, but it was too far from the ten taels of silver she wanted, so she was naturally dissatisfied.

Su Zhi frowned. In fact, in her opinion, both families were wrong about what happened that day. The Liu family was more wrong and should bear the main responsibility. The woman was knocked down and gave birth prematurely, almost killing two lives, one big and one small. No amount of money could make up for their mistakes. But for the Liu family, ten taels of silver might be too much. For an ordinary farmer, it would be good if he could save ten taels of silver without eating or drinking, not to mention the food and clothing expenses. Ten taels of silver is two years' savings for an ordinary family! The Liu family, who even wanted to take the property of their dead brother's family, naturally couldn't bear to part with it.

Seeing that Su Zhi was silent, Lianhua said, "Sister, what the Liu family said was very unpleasant. They said that even if my sister-in-law and my nephew were dead, they were not worth ten taels of silver. They said that now that they are safe, five hundred coins is enough. They also said that our Zhao family is crazy about money. Sister, tell me whether they are hateful or not. Mother quarreled with them because of this and insisted on getting ten taels of silver."

Zhao Yang started to cry and said, "My daughter, if you don't help me get the ten taels of silver, our Zhao family will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Liushu Village. We will be looked down upon by others and they will step on us. Yesterday, your sister-in-law and nephew were almost killed. Maybe your father and brother will be killed in the future. You have to help us!"

Su Zhi pressed her forehead, thinking that she was not the Lord of Heaven, so what was she supposed to do? !

"Auntie, which Liu family are you talking about?"

Liu Si Niang heard Zhao Yang's words outside and wondered if she was talking about her uncle's family. If so, there would be trouble. She was not worried about her uncle's family. She had no feelings for them. She was worried about Su Zhi because she knew that although her uncle's family was not stingy, they were also money-loving and would definitely not give her ten taels of silver. When her mother was sick, she knew that her uncle's family had money, but she went to borrow from them, but they refused to give. At that time, they only asked for one or two taels of silver, and they were unwilling to pay for their relatives' illness, let alone the current situation.

When Zhao Yangshi and Lianhua saw Liu Si Niang, their eyes widened and anger appeared on their faces. Who said Liu Si Niang was a member of the Liu family?

"Daughter, why is she here?"

Zhao Yang rolled her eyes at Liu Si Niang, snorted, turned to Su Zhi and said, "Hasn't our family suffered enough from the Liu family? Don't bring people like this home in the future, or they might harm you one day. Even if you have money, you can't let people like this torture you to death! Listen to my mother, kick her out!"

Lotus also said, "Sister, she has a wound on her head, let her go quickly, and then I will blame you!"

Su Zhi was thinking the same thing as you did. She stood up and went to support Liu Si Niang, then asked Yueyue and Xiao Rixing'er to go outside to play. She didn't want the three kids to always listen to such boring topics.

"Mother, Lianhua, Si Niang is divorced now. She lives with me first. Don't involve her in your affairs with the Liu family. If you continue to say that about her, you can leave now. I won't care about your affairs anymore."

"What?! She's divorced? And she's still living here?" Zhao Yang got anxious when she heard this and said, "How can you let a divorced woman live here? Are you planning to let your son-in-law take advantage of you? This Liu family is a piece of shit. Get her out now, or else don't come to me and cry about it."

Su Zhi and Liu Siniang both looked unhappy.

Su Zhi patted Liu Si Niang soothingly and asked her to sit down. Then she said to Zhao Yang: "Mother! If you say such things again, please leave! I don't believe you don't know what the situation is like between Si Niang and her uncle's family. Don't bring them together. Also, if I hear any gossip, don't come to my house anymore."

Lianhua pulled Zhao Yang and told her not to make Su Zhi angry. Zhao Yang also felt that she seemed to have too much resentment towards the Liu family, and it seemed a bit wrong to blame Liu Si Niang as well, because she knew best the status of Liu Si Niang in the Liu family, that is, a person who was abandoned.

Zhao Yang looked at Su Zhi's stern face and kept silent. She looked at Liu Si Niang and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She clapped her hands and thought to herself, why was she so stupid? Didn't God send her a way to teach the Liu family a lesson? !
