Luo Zhiqin nodded, indicating that he would do as Shen Yunsheng instructed.
Yao said sarcastically, "Jingchuan's family, you have to pay for the medicine yourself. It's not like we asked you to go see a doctor."
When his wife started making a fuss, Luo Zhiqin immediately smoothed things over, saying, "Jingchuan's wife, although your aunt has a bad temper, she's not a bad person. Don't take her words to heart."
007 smiled and suggested, "Master, the treatment plan is actually very simple. You can first use your healing ability to help your uncle break up the kidney stones, and then prescribe two doses of stone-dissolving medicine to knock the stones down."
Shen Yunsheng's treatment plan coincided with 007's treatment plan. Stone-dissolving medicine was easy to find, but she just couldn't stand Yao's ugly face.
Xiao Jingchuan subtly gave his wife a look, signaling her to be quiet, then turned to look at Yao Shi with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Aunt, are you sure you don't want to buy medicine for Uncle?"
Upon hearing this, Yao immediately flew into a rage. Her eyes widened, her face contorted with anger, and she burst into a tirade: "Why should I buy him medicine! As the head of the family, he can't even support his own wife and children, yet he has the nerve to ask me to buy him medicine? This illness of his is retribution!"
Upon hearing Yao's heartless words, Luo Zhiqin's face turned extremely ugly. He stared wide-eyed at his wife in disbelief, gritting his teeth as he said, "How could you say such a thing! You are simply a heartless and ungrateful woman!"
"So what if I'm heartless and ungrateful? It's only because your ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke that I was able to marry into your family. Look at the other men, which one of them doesn't bring money home?" Yao Shi became more and more aggrieved as she cursed, looking at Luo Zhiqin with tears in her eyes.
She felt that marrying Luo Zhiqin was extremely unlucky. This man stayed at home all day, couldn't do anything, and had to rely on her to support him.
Luo Zhiqin turned pale from Yao's scolding. He angrily pointed at Yao and said, "Yao, how can you say that? I separated my mother and my second brother's family for you. Isn't that enough?"
Luo Zhiqin's words stunned Yao Shi; she hadn't expected him to say such a thing.
Seeing that Yao was silent, Luo Zhiqin assumed she was feeling guilty and continued, "I'm sick, and not only do you not take care of me, you also despise me. Don't you have any conscience at all?"
When Yao heard Luo Zhiqin's words, she was also very angry. She felt that Luo Zhiqin did not understand her hard work. Her three sons were still single, and he still had the nerve to criticize her.
"Do you think I want this? Our family is struggling so much, and you just stay at home doing nothing. Do you think it's easy for me, a woman, to support the family?"
Luo Zhiqin felt very sad after hearing what Yao said. He knew that his illness had brought a lot of burden to his family, but he had no choice!
Although he didn't go out to earn money, he helped with housework.
Luo felt even more sorry for her brother. Her sister-in-law was just as shrewish when she was young, and no one in the family dared to mess with her.
Now that I'm older, my temper is even more fiery.
She was truly worried about her older brother!
Seeing that her husband remained silent, Yao said sarcastically, "Hmph! You believe everything Jingchuan's family says. If you really had small stones in your kidneys, you would have died long ago. In my opinion, she is a quack doctor."
Luo couldn't help but interrupt Yao, "Sister-in-law, I'll pay for the medicine for my brother, so please don't make things difficult for him anymore."
"You... you think you can cure your older brother! Why don't you take a good look in the mirror?"
Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter. In her opinion, Luo was a poor wretch. If she had money, she wouldn't have gone to Heda Money Shop to borrow silver.
"Aunt! How about we make a bet? If I can cure my uncle, you'll bow and apologize to my mother and uncle." Shen Yunsheng couldn't take it anymore. This shrew was not only heartless and ungrateful, but also extremely awful. She had to teach her a lesson.
Xiao Jingchuan was furious at the humiliation his mother had suffered, and he wanted to take this opportunity to teach his vicious aunt a lesson.
Madam Yao was particularly interested in Shen Yunsheng's bet. She snorted coldly and then asked, "What if you can't cure him?"
"If I can't cure you, I'll compensate you with one hundred taels of silver."
Xiao Jingchuan: "Wife, please don't make a bet with your aunt. You came here with good intentions to treat your uncle, but she has taken it all for granted. We don't need to spend money on this."
Shen Yunsheng: "I just can't stand her arrogant and domineering attitude. If it were any other man, he would have divorced her long ago. How dare she bully my uncle?"
Yao clenched her fists in anger, “He dares to divorce me? If I hadn’t been kind-hearted and willing to marry him, he would have been destined to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.”
Xiao Jingchuan: "Aunt! Since you look down on my uncle, why don't you get a divorce?"
"Divorce?!" Madam Yao's eyes widened. "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat! Your uncle and I are husband and wife, how can we just get a divorce like this!"
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "Aunt, you certainly know how to talk. Since you know that couples shouldn't easily divorce, why don't you treat your uncle better?"
Yao was choked and speechless; her face turned pale and red in turns, looking quite unsightly.
"Alright, stop arguing," Luo Zhiqin said weakly. "Thank you for your kindness, Jingchuan family. But let's forget about this bet. I don't want my illness to involve you."
"Uncle, don't worry," Shen Yunsheng comforted him. "I'm confident I can cure your illness. As for the bet, consider it a lesson for Aunt, to teach her not to be so arrogant in the future."
Luo Zhiqin looked at Shen Yunsheng, his heart filled with gratitude. He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Xiao Jingchuan: "Uncle, please come to my house with us. It will be easier for us to take care of you. Once you've recovered, we'll take you home."
Yao was eager for her husband to leave, because at home she still had to cook and serve him.
"Jingchuan, I was wrong before. I thank you on behalf of your uncle. I'll help him collect his clean clothes now."
Shen Yunsheng and his wife exchanged a knowing glance; Yao's face changed so quickly.
Luo Zhiqin was both moved and ashamed. He hadn't even visited his nephew when he was in trouble, but now that his nephew was sick, he was still willing to take care of him.
Fearing that Xiao Jingchuan might change his mind, Yao hurriedly went to collect the clothes.
Luo Zhiqin said thank you and then chatted with the Luo family about their mother.
"Big sister! Mother's health isn't very good either. Could you ask Jingchuan's family to take a look at her?"
