Chapter 53: There are always people who are better than you



"Xiaoqin! You are in charge of our family's finances. If you don't go back, how can we afford to take the children to see a doctor?"

Zhang Xiaoqin turned sideways, pretending to be calm. She took a deep breath, then turned to Jiang Fu and said, "You don't know how to borrow money when you don't have it. You don't have a mouth, do you? And your mother, who is two-faced, I don't believe she doesn't have hidden money. Her own grandson is sick, and she can't bear to spend money on his treatment."

Jiang Fu's face looked as if he was about to cry, his brows furrowed, his expression dazed, and he almost fainted. He stumbled back a few steps, regained his balance, and looked at Zhang Xiaoqin with contempt.

"You...you...money, money, money. All you care about is money. The child keeps crying out for his mother and won't eat or drink. The doctor said that if he continues like this, even Hua Tuo can't save him. And all you care about is your little money."

They say even a rabbit bites when it's angry! Jiang Fu was probably too worried about the child's safety, which was why he was so angry.

Zhang Xiaoqin was quite surprised that Jiang Fu, who usually never said a harsh word to her, pointed at her today. She looked at Jiang Fu with her eyes wide open and a surprised expression.

Before she could refute, Jiang Fu sighed and rushed out of the Zhang family yard.

“You, you, you…”

Zhang Xiaoqin had a lot of rebuttals in her mind, but they were all swallowed back because of Jiang Fu's departure.

"Xiaoqin, please go back and check on the child! The child is important! Stop being angry."

Seeing this, Zhang Binglin hurriedly persuaded his daughter.

Wu Ju, somewhat bewildered, wiped her wet hands on her apron, took Zhang Xiaoqin's hand and said, "Xiaoqin! Why don't you go back and take a look?"

Wu Ju came back to her senses and looked at her helplessly, "Mom, I don't have any money on hand, and I still owe a lot of debts. It's no use going back! The reason I didn't tell you about the situation at home is because you are old, and I don't want you to worry about me, a useless daughter." Zhang Xiaoqin said with tears in her eyes.

No wonder she came up with ideas to help Wu Ju deal with Shumei. It turns out that the mantis is stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

How could Wu Ju bear to see her sweetheart being wronged? Seeing Zhang Xiaoqin's sad face, Wu Ju took out the money she had taken from Shumei that morning and handed it to Zhang Xiaoqin.

"Xiaoqin, take this for emergency use."

"Mother..." Zhang Xiaoqin didn't refuse and hugged Wu Ju crying, "Thank you, mother. Your daughter will definitely be more filial to you in the future. I will also tell the children to remember their grandmother's kindness and her ruthlessness, so that they know who is the relative who can break bones and connect tendons."

Wu Ju felt sweeter than honey when she heard Zhang Xiaoqin's words. She patted Zhang Xiaoqin's back as she crawled in her arms and said, "Why are you being so polite to Mother? You are my flesh and blood. If I don't help you, who will?"

Zhang Xiaoqin let go of Wu Ju and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Mother, I'll go back now. You and Father, take care of yourselves."

"Go!" Wu Ju nodded and waved to Zhang Xiaoqin to go back quickly.

Regardless of Wu Ju's attitude towards Shumei, she can be considered a good mother. She is genuinely kind to her children and never stingy.

Zhang Xiaoqin held the money Wu Ju gave her and ran out of the Zhang family yard. As soon as she left the house, her face, which had just been covered with tears, unexpectedly showed a smug smile. Looking at the results in her hands, her heart was filled with joy and she trotted after Jiang Fu.

Zhang Xiaoqin! She's a money-grubber. She's completely obsessed with money. For the sake of money, she doesn't care about mother-daughter affection, etiquette, or filial piety.

She chased him all the way out of the village before she saw Jiang Fu's back from afar. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Ahfu, Ahfu, wait for me, wait for me..."

Hearing the voice, Jiang Fu looked back, slowed down his pace and continued walking forward, thinking to himself, I'll wait while walking!

Zhang Xiaoqin saw that Jiang Fu had heard her calling, but dared not pay attention, not stopping to wait for her but continuing to walk forward. She felt a surge of anger in her heart, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and your temper has improved. Are you deaf or dumb? Are you dead? Can't you even answer? Or have you become so rude that I haven't spanked you for a few days that you've started to tear the tiles off the roof?"

Jiang Fu's ears were already callused, so he ignored her scolding and continued to walk slowly forward.

Seeing that scolding was useless, Zhang Xiaoqin quickly trotted after Jiang Fu, grabbed his clothes, and forced Jiang Fu to stop. "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
