But before Sister Zhang could even begin to plan, Boss Zhu spoke up, clearly refusing. "I'm sorry, but I definitely won't take a dying person on my boat. Villagers, if anyone wants to get on board, please hurry up. I've already wasted a lot of time on these chores, and I can't delay any longer. Otherwise, I'll miss a few trips today and won't even earn back my living expenses. Hurry up and get on board!"
Being refused boarding, Zhao Chunlian had no choice but to ask Yang Xiaoxian for help again.
"Great Uncle Yang, right? Although I've only been in this village for a few days, I've heard that you're the most respected person in Guangming Village. So, please, Great Uncle Yang, help us talk to the boat owner. We're willing to pay three times the boat fare. Do you think he can..."
"No, even if you pay ten times the boat fare, I won't let your son get on board. He looks like he won't make it to Fengyun Town. I don't want him to die on my ship."
"If you say so, what should I do with my son?"
"Aren't you a relative of Zhang Erlang? Zhang Erlang also had a passenger boat when he was alive. You can use his boat to row to Fengyun Town. As long as you are quick, you may arrive before me."
Zhao Chunlian rejected Boss Zhu's idea without a second thought. "I don't even know where my brother-in-law's boat is. How long will it take me to find it? Boss...I beg you, please let me get on board. I will never forget your kindness."
"No thanks, I don't want to bring bad luck upon myself."
The cabin was soon crowded with villagers. Boss Zhu no longer paid any attention to Zhao Chunlian. He took the anchor back into the boat and drove away without mercy.
Zhao Chunlian on the shore was shouting anxiously.
"Boss... don't leave, wait for us, my son hasn't boarded the boat yet..."
Luo Dahu, who had gained his freedom, had already changed his arms and embraced his still sleeping son. He choked up and said, "Forget it, we can use your brother-in-law's boat."
"Help, use, use... Can you sail a boat? Do you know the routes on the water? If it weren't for your greed this time, how could my son have become like this? Wuuuuu... If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you!"
"What's the point of arguing with me about this now? If you argue with me about this, will the ship come and take us to Fengyun Town?
Don't say so much, I remember your brother-in-law's boat was parked not far downstream, over there in the reeds."
“…”
Zhao Chunlian really wanted to scold Luo Dahu, but she knew that Luo Dahu was right. They could wait, but their son could not. So even if they didn't know how to row a boat or were not familiar with the waterway, they had to try it this time for their son.
Just as the two turned around to get the boat, Shu Jiaying, who had been silent for a long time, stopped them.
Zhao Chunlian knew she was being unfair to Shu Jiaying, but to save her son, she still opened her voice and shouted, "Miss Shu, if you want justice for yourself, you can wait a little longer, but if you block my way and delay my son's treatment, I will absolutely fight you to the death."
“…”
After hearing this, Shu Jiaying, who had finally made the decision to save Luo Xiaoming, almost vomited blood.
To prevent herself from turning away out of hatred, Shu Jiaying took a deep breath. After controlling her emotions, she said calmly, "I can save your son, but I have one condition. As long as you agree to it immediately, I can help your son right away."
