After one night, the news from the town was enough to spread back to the village. Yang Yaoguang knew that Li Shangcai was resentful because his house was taken away. He was afraid that if he often hung around Li Shangcai, he would annoy him and take his anger out on him.
I have been hiding at home these days and dare not go into town.
Last time, Mr. Zhang discussed the marriage of the two children with Yang Dali. Although Mrs. Zhang was reluctant, in order to win back her husband's heart, she reluctantly agreed to Li Shangcai marrying Yang Chunxue.
But she was thinking in her heart that it was okay to get married. After they got married, she could find some faults of Yang Chunxue and demote her to a concubine, and then give her to Li Shangcai as his equal wife.
After Mr. Zhang returned home that day, he sent someone to deliver the betrothal gifts the next day to shut the Yang family up.
Mr. Zhang shouldn't have made a big fuss about his wife's brother's wedding, and what's more, this brother-in-law had touched Mr. Zhang's sore spot. He was very upset and didn't want to get involved in the matter.
Mrs. Zhang was not satisfied with Yang Chunxue and was unwilling to spend more time and money. She hastily sent thirty taels of silver and a box of jewelry.
These things were not a small amount for a farmer's family, but since they were sent by the Zhang family, they seemed a bit shabby. Yang Chunxue was not satisfied after receiving them, and she complained a lot in front of the maid who came to deliver the things.
She was reluctant but there was nothing she could do, as the maid said that the others would not be brought in until the wedding day.
As long as it was available, it made no difference to Yang Dali and Yang Yaoguang whether it was early or late. They said a lot of compliments and politely sent the maid out the door.
That box of jewelry was not particularly expensive, but it was certainly enough to show off in the village. Chen Si didn't think there was anything shameful in being friends with Yang Chunxue, so he listened to her mother and came to the Yang family often.
When she saw those jewels, her eyes turned red with jealousy. Yang Chunxue suppressed her dissatisfaction and showed off in front of Chen Si all day long, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
The money did not reach Yang Chunxue's hands, but was saved by Yang Dali. He spent the money from selling his daughter without any regrets, and sat at the card table longer and longer every day.
Yang Yaoguang got the news that Li Shangcai rushed home after being abandoned by Master Zhang. He confirmed it several times and couldn't believe that the big tree he relied on had fallen.
He still fantasized that Madam Zhang could help Li Shangcai, but after asking around near Zhang's house, he found out that Madam Zhang was already in a difficult situation.
Yang Yaoguang was completely hopeless and wandered around the town in a daze. He found that because of recent rumors, he couldn't even enter the county school. The place where he and the Yang family used to live was also tightly closed. It was simply wishful thinking for him to set foot there.
It is not a pleasant feeling to fall into the mortal world. With the last glimmer of hope, he found out about Li Shangcai's old house, hoping that Li Shangcai could make a comeback and help him.
But he never expected that he would be scared to death as soon as he opened the door. Li Shang had been tied up for a night, and was injured and took medicine. When he opened the door, he saw a stupid look with drooling eyes.
Perhaps because the drug was too strong to bear, he actually broke free with his hands and scratched his body hard. There was blood in the gaps between his nails, and his whole body was covered with long blood marks from his nails.
Especially the important part of his lower body, the cloth was torn to pieces, the blood on his body had not dried yet, and that part was the same, the skin was broken and swollen, but his hand was still placed there unconsciously, which looked even more horrifying.
His body was already limp, and underneath it was all dirty water. The stench all over him was so nauseating.
Yang Yaoguang was frightened by the scene and screamed continuously. It would be easy to attract people during the day, and several families living not far from him came running over after hearing the noise.
The curious women ran the fastest, while the timid ones were so frightened after just one look that they covered their faces and backed away, screaming for those behind them not to come over to avoid being scared.
Finally, a man noticed something was wrong, blocked the crowd and went into the house to check it out, and called a doctor to check on him.
The village doctor was good at treating minor illnesses like typhoid and pain, but he couldn't treat such serious injuries. The village chief couldn't bear to watch someone dying in front of him, so he found a few strong men to beat the man up and invited the doctor from the town to come.
Yang Yaoguang was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word. He sat on the ground without saying a word. When others asked him what his relationship with Li Shangcai was, he just shook his head.
The town was not close, and it took so long. When the doctor came over, he shook his head and sighed. His arm had not healed to begin with, and the more serious part of his body had been severely injured, so he was completely disabled. The injury to his leg had been delayed for too long, and even if it healed, he could only walk with a limp.
As for the lower half of his body that was captured, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would not be able to bring it back to life. Li Shangcai's life was no different from that of a eunuch who had been castrated.
Saliva kept dripping from the corners of his mouth. He was already in a state of confusion. The drug had damaged his brain, and he was afraid that he would remain stupid for the rest of his life.
Some people present sighed, some knew about Li Shangcai's character and made fun of him. When Yang Yaoguang heard that Li Shangcai would be a useless person in the future, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and quietly slipped away.
After he returned home and was still catching his breath, he called Yang Dali back from the card table.
"What's wrong with you, kid? Let's talk it over. Why are you so anxious? I'm lucky today. Don't delay me from making money."
Since Yang Dali had the money, he never left the card table. He just ate a quick bite at a time. Now that he was suddenly called back, he was very reluctant.
"Dad... Dad, Li, Li Shangcai is disabled... He is disabled." Yang Yaoguang's trembling words were incoherent, which made Yang Dali feel frightened.
"What!"
After hearing his incoherent narration, Yang Dali's eyes suddenly went dark. He could never have imagined that his carefully chosen son-in-law would become idiot before they even got married.
But he had already spent half of the thirty taels of silver. If he changed his mind now, where would he get the fifteen taels of silver for the Zhang family?
"Dad, what should we do? Should we still marry my second sister?"
Yang Dali made a decision in a split second. He pulled Yang Yaoguang over and lowered his voice: "Don't be so loud. Don't let your second sister hear you."
He coughed twice as if to cover his ears and steal the bell. Seeing that there was no movement in Yang Chunxue's room, he continued, "Don't tell your second sister about this. If she makes a fuss, you and I will have to pay back the money we spent. She's going to get married anyway, so it doesn't matter who she marries."
Yang Yaoguang nodded. He couldn't understand what Yang Dali said at the moment. It took him a long time to react and he felt a little chilled.
If Wang Dujuan was still capable of taking responsibility, she would not let Yang Chunxue jump into the fire pit so easily. She would have to find a way to fight for it. However, Yang Dali only had money in his eyes. He actually wanted to send his daughter to hell without telling her. It can be seen how cruel he is.
Yang Yaoguang finally saw Yang Dali's true face. He was selfish and might push himself out in exchange for money one day.
There was no way he would allow such a thing to happen. In the days that followed, he was always on guard against Yang Dali, intending to take care of himself first if anything changed.
