Wu Yueying wiped her tears and did not make excuses. After all, it was her father-in-law and several others who beat up Liu Tieniu.
The kick that cut off the family line was actually given by her own man.
There are so many people watching, and even if they bring the matter to the attention of the village elders, they will still have no say.
She glanced at the closed door and immediately said, "Let's go to Sun Daxian's place."
Sun Daxian is a local doctor in a small mountain village. She can diagnose some illnesses and has a fox fairy enshrined at home. If there is a weak disease in someone's family, she is responsible for performing a shaman dance.
Liu Laosi nodded and said to the courtyard, "Zhao Laosan, my son got hurt because he stood up for you, and you didn't even say a word?"
Zhao Zheng then opened the door to the courtyard and said, "I'm very grateful that Tie Niu came out to speak for me, but to be honest, I didn't let him come up. Who knew he would curse as soon as he came up? It was beyond my expectation..."
"How about this? I'll go with you to Sun Daxian's place, but I wasn't the one who beat him up. If you want to go to the village elders or file a complaint, I can be a witness!"
Liu Laosi was extremely angry.
But Liu Tieniu kept calling out, and he was afraid that something might happen to his son, so he hurriedly carried him on his back and walked towards Sun Daxian's house.
"You two don't have to follow me." Zhao Zheng didn't let Yang Zhaodi and the other person come over.
Soon, the group arrived at Dr. Sun's house.
After Sun Daxian's diagnosis and treatment, he came to the conclusion that Liu Tieniu's "one is broken!"
In other words, Liu Tieniu became a "lone warrior".
Liu Laosi was so upset that the sky was about to collapse. "Grandma Sun, will my Tieniu still be able to give birth to children in the future?"
Doctor Sun said, "There is one who can still give birth, but this bad guy needs to be dealt with. I can't handle it here, so I have to go to the village to find a doctor!"
Zhao Zheng sneered in his heart. Now that was good. Wang Dazhi kicked Liu Tieniu half to death. From now on, Liu Tieniu could no longer think about Zhaodi.
Moreover, given the medical level in rural Mingzhou, helping Liu Tieniu save the other one is purely a matter of luck.
Wu Yueying's world also collapsed.
If Liu Tieniu was really disabled, then the feud would be huge. How could she compensate him?!
Isn't Liu Laosi going to fight to the death with the Wang family?
Mrs. Liu also came over after hearing the news. When she learned that her son had become a "lone warrior", she started crying and making a fuss, and pushed Wu Yueying to the ground and beat her.
Wu Yueying didn't dare to fight back, and the people around her didn't dare to step forward to stop the fight.
The eldest son of the Liu family also died in the war, leaving only Liu Tieniu and a seven-year-old brother at home. However, the child was in poor health, and adults could hardly survive these days, let alone children.
There are many children who died young in the village, and there are many in the back mountain.
To round it off, Liu Tieniu is almost the Liu family's only hope.
Zhao Zheng sighed and said, "If you beat her to death, will Tie Niu be able to recover? Considering the Wang family's morality, if you beat her to death, not only will no one be held responsible for Tie Niu, but they will also bite you back."
"Zhao Laosan, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, my Tie Niu wouldn't be like this!" said the Liu family's wife with hatred.
"Sister-in-law Liu, please don't say that I'm unkind."
Zhao Zheng's face turned cold. "I didn't ask your Tie Niu to help me. He came up to me on his own. I could have handled this matter originally, but his meddling has only made things more complicated."
"Isn't this a disaster for me?"
The Liu family's wife was speechless, her face flushed the color of liver, and she immediately said, "I don't care, but you have to take responsibility, otherwise, I will die in front of your door!"
"Whether you want to find the village elders or file a complaint with the authorities, I'm always here to help. Want to blackmail me? That depends on whether you can do it!"
Zhao Zheng said coldly, "Our families don't have a good relationship to begin with. Do you think I don't know that you two gossip about me in front of others every day behind my back?"
"Originally, considering Tie Niu's bravery, I was planning to scrape together some money and send him to the village to see a doctor. But now, forget it!"
As he said that, he looked at Liu Tieniu and said, "Tieniu, it's not that your Uncle Zhao doesn't want to help you, it's that your mother said too much.
If I pay this money, even if it means yellow mud dripping down my crotch, it will be shit."
"If you want to blame someone, blame your mother. Of course, as long as your mother is willing to correct her attitude and explain the matter to everyone, I am still willing to raise some money to send you to see a doctor in the village."
After saying that, he walked away.
"God damn Zhao Laosan, what a piece of shit."
"My poor Tie Niu helped such a black-hearted guy!"
Zhao Zheng wanted to laugh after hearing this. What's the big deal about scolding him? It won't cost him a single piece of meat. If he wants to live a fulfilling life in the small mountain village, he must be thick-skinned and ruthless.
Otherwise, anyone would dare to step on you.
Liu Tieniu's face was distorted with pain. Looking at his wailing mother, he also cried out, "Mom, do you want me to live or die? If you don't send me to the village to see a doctor, I will die of pain. Who will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life?"
Hearing this, Liu Laosi also kicked his wife lightly and said, "Stop crying, go chase Zhao Laosan and tell him clearly that this matter has nothing to do with him. Let him pay some money!"
Mrs. Liu was stunned. "I'll go?"
"You were the one who made the person leave in anger. If you don't go, do you want me to go?" Liu Laosi said angrily.
Mrs. Liu had no choice but to chase after him angrily.
"And you, wife of the Wang family, hurry home to get money and come with me to send Tie Niu back to the village. If you dare to run away, I will fight your family with a knife." Liu Laosi said gritting his teeth.
Wu Yueying nodded, knowing that she couldn't escape, so she had to walk home in despair.
Soon, the farce between the Wang and Liu families spread throughout the village.
Everyone laughed at Liu Tieniu for meddling in other people's affairs and bringing disaster upon himself.
After Liu's wife took the responsibility off Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng took out the money with a painful heart, "This is the last of my family's belongings, a total of fifteen cents, please don't think it's too little, sister-in-law Liu."
The wife of the Liu family turned green with anger. What could these fifteen cents be used for?
At this time, I'm afraid you can't even buy a pound of rice.
But no matter how she tried to persuade him, Zhao Zheng insisted that all the money had been cheated away.
Mrs. Liu also knew that Zhao Zheng's money had been cheated away by his brothers, so she had no choice but to accept the money with a sullen face without even a word of thanks.
Wu Yueying was also quite miserable. She only got ten cents from the Wang family, which was worse than Zhao Zheng.
The old lady of the Wang family took the opportunity to put all the blame on her and even threatened to sell Huahua and Xiaocao for money.
In the end, it was Liu Laosi who went to Wang's house with a hatchet. Xu Youde was afraid that someone would be killed, so he came out reluctantly.
With the witness of three village elders, the Wang family took out the few hundred coins they had in their home.
After getting the money, Liu Laosi did not dare to delay and took his son to the countryside.
It is said that the old lady of the Wang family rolled on the ground and cried so hard that her cries could be heard by half of the village.
Zhao Zheng felt extremely happy.
To him, fifteen cents is nothing, not even enough for a meal.
But it solved two problems.
However, if it weren't for the loss of face, he wouldn't even give fifteen cents.
Yang Zhaodi said distressedly: "Fifteen cents can only sell two eggs!"
Zhang Xiao'e said worriedly, "I'm afraid Sister Yueying will be beaten to death by the Wang family when she returns."
Zhao Zhengdao said, "Respect her fate. It's not our business, so don't interfere. Lending her grain is already the most righteous thing we can do."
"I'm hungry after a busy day." Zhao Zheng took out a pound of meat from the bamboo basket, "Tonight, let's have stewed meat!"
