Chapter 394 - For this family
Chapter 394: For this family
Village Chief Li can’t wait to get inside. He doesn’t want to stay anymore with the evil women of the Bai Family.
When the onlookers saw that there was no drama to watch, they all dispersed. The original excitement disappeared in an instant, leaving only Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu in a messy autumn wind.
The two haven’t returned to their senses. They obviously came to ask for money. They were obviously in control. So, how did things ended up like this?
“Niang, what should we do now?” Mrs. Liu said while choking. Her husband’s arms were broken, he was waiting for money to be treated. The old lady only has a few silvers left. They were for Bai Xiaofeng’s tuition fee next year. The wheat they need to sell was soaked in the rain today. How are they going to survive the winter this year? If Bai Dazhu’s arms will not be treated, he may become disabled. How will they live in the future?
The road in front of her seemed to be blocked by the dark mist. She couldn’t see the road ahead, nor see hope. What should she do? What?
Old Lady Bai said with a bad tone: “What should we do? If you ask me, who will I ask? When you encounter a problem, all you do is cry? Is crying useful? Can it solve all the problems in the world? Useless thing, you can’t even control your husband. All you do is cause me trouble, one after another, it never ends.”
Mrs. Liu’s felt grievance. Bai Dazhu was her husband, but he was her son. She, a mother can’t control her Bai Dazhu, so what more is she?
However, now that the old lady was like this, although she felt wrong, she didn’t dare to speak, so only swallow her sufferings.
The two stood outside the Hu Family’s yard. They didn’t leave until the sky became dark again and the strong wind blew. It seemed the rain will pour once again, so they helpless left and went back to their house.

Seeing the two returning empty-handed, Bai Dazhu was so angry that he yelled out loud: “I think you two just waiting for me to die, or you want me to be disabled, don’t you?”
Old Lady Bai frowned but didn’t say a thing. When Mrs. Liu saw the look on the lady’s face, she busily said: “That bitch, Bai Zhi, refused to give us silvers. She said it was you hurt yourself. It has nothing to do with them. We, we have no way to force them, and Village Chief Li doesn’t want to help us, so we—”
Bai Dazhu shouted, “So you came back empty-handed? If she will not give money, you will leave my arms just like this?”
Mrs. Liu hurriedly waved her hand: “It’s not like that. Aren’t we trying to find a way?” She took a glance at the old lady and said: “You know the situation of our family. When you broke your arms and legs, coupled with the food and Xiaofeng’s school supplies, we already spent at least 8 silver coins.”
Bai Dazhu was not in the mood to listen to her calculations now, so he said: “Don’t talk nonsense with me, I just want to know, are you going to ask a doctor me or not?”
Mrs. Liu fell into silence and just looked at the old lady. Bai Erzhu, who was drinking a bowl of fish soup, came out and watched the show. He wanted to know what their aging mother will decide this time.
Will it be the same as 10 years ago? In order to keep the money in her hands, didn’t she just watched their father and third brother die?
When Old Lady Bai felt relaxed a bit, she looked at Bai Dazhu and sighed: “Dazhu, it’s not that I don’t want to treat you. You also know that Xiaofeng spends a lot of money each year. I never saved money for myself, everything is for this family, for Xiaofeng!”
