"Yes, yes, oh my, Auntie is truly the most presentable! Am I a money-loser? Then what are you?"
"Let me think..."
Zhiyin pursed his lips, speaking in a sarcastic tone, and then Zhuang seemed to be pondering something casually before his eyes lit up.
She opened her mouth wide in exaggerated disbelief. "Oh, I know! You must be one of those ungrateful wretches, right? Otherwise, why would you live in the house my dad paid for, and eat and wear the things he bought with his hard-earned money?"
"Of course, the most important thing is that you don't even treat us like human beings! Aren't you a beast in human skin?"
After he finished speaking, both his uncle and aunt's expressions changed completely.
When Aunt Li met her gaze, which was a mixture of amusement and reproach, Aunt Li felt her face flush and felt incredibly embarrassed.
She glared at Zhiyin and quickly waved her hand, "How could you talk nonsense like that, child? You're just making Dr. Li laugh at you!"
Having said that, she suppressed her anger and looked at Doctor Li, "I wonder how my son is?"
Doctor Li quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing serious, he just fainted, he'll be fine in a bit. As for the injury on his buttocks, it's just a superficial wound, I'll apply some of my special medicine and it'll heal quickly."
"Really? Dr. Li, could you please check him again? My son has suffered so much today, I hope it hasn't damaged his internal organs?"
Auntie said anxiously and worriedly.
Dr. Li's smiling face instantly darkened. "Are you questioning my medical skills?"
"I said it's nothing, so it's nothing. What do you know, you old woman?"
"If you don't believe me, you can always ask someone else!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and made a move to get up.
Seeing this, the aunt was stunned and quickly pulled Dr. Li aside. "No... that's not what I meant, Dr. Li, please don't be angry. It's just that my son was beaten by Zhiyin before, and I'm really afraid something might happen to him!"
Please forgive my feelings as a mother!
Just then, Grandmother came out with the silver. Upon seeing this scene, she immediately glared at Aunt.
When she looked at Doctor Li, she immediately put on a different face, smiling as she handed him a few copper coins. "Doctor Li, thank you for coming all this way. Please don't hold it against my eldest daughter-in-law; she's just worried about her son."
Doctor Li took the coins, counted them, and then snorted, "I'll let it go this time, but I won't come again if there's a next time!"
After all, the thing doctors fear most is others not believing in their medical skills.
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, Dr. Li, take care. I'll have Zhao Di see you off!"
After saying this, he thanked her profusely and, with a smile on his wrinkled face, went out to greet Doctor Li.
After the two had walked away, she immediately and swiftly walked over and slapped her aunt hard across the face. "Pah! Do you want to die if you don't cause trouble every day?"
"Dr. Li is the cheapest doctor in the surrounding area. If you offend him, who will we go to for minor illnesses in the future?"
As she spoke, she forcefully grabbed Zhifu from her aunt's hand. Her angry face instantly turned into one of tenderness, and she kept patting his back with heartache, "Oh dear, my poor grandson!"
After saying that, she glared at her aunt with annoyance, "Hurry up and bring some water to wipe my precious grandson's body and then apply the ointment?"
The eldest aunt was no longer arrogant as before. In front of her grandmother, she was like a quail. Upon hearing this, she immediately prepared to ask Yao Yulin to do it.
After all, she does all the laundry, cooking, and other chores in the house; she hasn't done anything herself in a long time.
But after glancing at his confidante's unfriendly face, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Afraid of being beaten, she silently went to boil water and fetch it.
Zhiyin and Yao Yulin and her two daughters watched the farce unfold with indifference for a while, but eventually found it boring.
Yao Yulin then tenderly prepared to help Zhiyin to bed to rest, saying, "Yinyin, go and rest in bed for a while? Mother will brew your medicine."
"It's alright, Mother. I'll warm myself by the fire. Please brew my medicine first."
Zhiyin didn't want to go back to that cold, lifeless bed. She glanced around at the furnishings in the room, and a smile instantly appeared on her lips. She had an idea.
In this house, which is neither too big nor too small, there are four bedrooms in addition to the main room.
The best room, facing south, belonged to my grandparents.
Secondly, there are my eldest uncle and aunt.
Their son, Zhifu, slept next to his uncle and aunt.
Although Zhi Zhaodi slept in the storage room, she still had her own bedroom.
However, the four members of the Kezhi family were crammed into a small room with only one bed. The grandparents were unwilling to spend more money to hire a carpenter to make another one.
Even the original owner's father was unwilling to spend money, complaining that it was a waste of silver.
There was no other way; before the original owner and her sister grew up, the four of them could barely squeeze into one bed.
But as she grew up, her father slept on the floor, while she and her mother slept on the bed, all curled up in bed, looking pitiful.
Moreover, her grandmother's bed was the softest, with the most and most comfortable quilts, all of them made of fine cotton.
But what they had were tattered cotton wadding that their grandmothers didn't want, which was absolutely despicable!
As she pondered, she suddenly chuckled mischievously, and an idea instantly formed in her mind.
After Yao Yulin brought the medicine over, she drank it all in one gulp, and then gave her grandmother a half-smile.
Grandmother couldn't help but frown, feeling a bad premonition.
Sure enough, her premonition came true the next second.
Zhiyin quickly pulled her mother and sister into her and her grandfather's bedroom, then gave her a provocative smile, slammed the door shut, and slammed the bolt on.
Grandmother's face immediately changed. She put her precious grandson down and, with her slightly overweight body, nimbly ran over and banged on the door, "You brat, what do you want?"
"Could it be that they're trying to steal silver?"
Seemingly believing that this was her true purpose, her eyes instantly turned bloodshot. "Let me tell you, if anything is missing from my bedroom, I'll skin you alive!"
As she spoke, a flash of resentment crossed her eyes. The money was her lifeline, and if that damned Zhiyin really dared to steal it, she would never forgive her.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth even more.
Damn it, has this friend gone mad? Or has he really been provoked into a daze?
She glanced coldly at the door, gave a soft snort, and stopped banging on the door.
Anyway, she'll come out eventually, and it won't matter if we teach her a lesson then.
"Yinyin, is...are we really okay like this?"
As Zhiyin pressed Yao Yulin down onto the soft bed, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
