After this slap, the whole audience was just stunned for a moment.

After all, it was Liu Xiaoru who hit the person. Well, this makes sense.

Of course, even if it was Zhang Yunniang who beat someone, they would probably only think it was reasonable.

As the most influential figures in this house, Liu Xiaoru and Zhang Yuniang are completely half-sisters in the eyes of everyone. They are all jealous, with just one word: reckless.

Little Cai, on the other hand, had only been in this house for a few days, and no one else was willing to let her play with her. Therefore, she had no idea that Liu Xiaoru was a woman who beat her mother-in-law and husband until they cried for father and mother.

"You hit me, how dare you hit me? Who gave you the courage..."

Little Cai hasn't finished speaking yet.

There was a "pop" sound.

Another slap fell hard on her face.

Two red slap marks were visible to the naked eye on little Cai's face.

I don't know if it was Xiao Cai's illusion, but she always felt that Liu Xiaoru's slap seemed to be stronger than Zhang Guangzong's, and the slap was more painful.

"I can fight if I want to, I don't need anyone to give me the courage!"

Liu Xiaoru still felt unsatisfied after the treatment. She always felt like something was missing.

Whatever comes to mind.

Six-year-old Gu Zhao dragged a broom over and shouted, "Aunt Liu, you didn't take anything."

After getting the broom, Liu Xiaoru was like Sun Wukong getting the golden cudgel. It was very obvious that he was more powerful than a tiger. He chased the little Cai family with the broom and beat him all over the yard.

Finally, he had a chance to deal with this evil woman. If Liu Xiaoru didn't give her a good beating, how could he avenge her for abusing Niuniu.

Zhang Yunniang acted as if she didn't see the commotion in the yard, and said righteously in front of everyone:

"Although my sister-in-law has evil intentions and did not respect me as a sister-in-law in the past, Guangzong is my half-brother after all. Even if his mother never treated me well, even if he never regarded me as his biological sister, I I can’t ignore him, after all, as a eldest sister, this is what I should do.”

Zhang Yunniang had no intention of hiding anything for Zhang Guangzong and his wife. The young Cai family had made such a fuss and made their demands for money obvious. Of course, she also wanted to explain clearly the grudges between the two families.

Zhang Yunniang deliberately concealed the fact that Niu Niu was adopted by Xiao Cai. Even though Xiao Cai and Zhang Guangzong never treated Niu Niu kindly, after all, they had raised Niu Niu for five years. Outsiders did not know that Niu Niu had a difficult life in those five years, and they would only morally kidnap her now. Niuniu thinks that children should remember gratitude.

Zhang Yunniang didn't want her precious daughter to fall into the position of being criticized at all.

Fortunately, now all of Xiao Cai's energy is involved in Liu Xiaoru, and she can't get distracted and interrupt at all.

Zhang Yunniang turned to look at Mrs. Qian tenderly, and said very politely: "Mother-in-law, you are a local. Please help my brother find a doctor. Don't worry about money."

Mrs. Qian glanced at Gu Mingda, and when he nodded, she no longer hesitated and turned around and walked out.

Madam Qi came over and, relying on their good relationship, said proactively: "Ms. Gu, since your sister-in-law is unwilling to borrow money from the bank, why not give me this half-profit opportunity? I promise to be grateful to you."

Three months and a half interest is equivalent to borrowing one hundred and fifty taels of silver. After three months, you only need to pay back one hundred and five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver may seem like a lot, but in fact most of the banks on the market lend money at a profit of two cents per month. If you borrow money for three months, you have to pay back at least 160 taels. It is no different from robbery. Ordinary people can only borrow money as a last resort. , and will not borrow money from banks.

Not to mention the capital city, even in the lower counties and towns, they had never heard of a three-month half-profit bank. It happened that Mrs. Qi's family was in a hurry to use money, so they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Zhang Yunniang gave a bitter smile and said: "Ms. Qi, it's not that I won't help you, but my brother has to borrow the money even if he doesn't want to borrow it. Now I'm going to ask Granny Qian to go out and ask for a doctor. In a moment, my husband-in-law will invite the shopkeeper of the bank to your door. My brother is sick, but it doesn’t affect his fingerprints.”

Madam Qi immediately understood that she was going to ask the Zhang family to borrow money forcibly, so it was hard to bring up her own affairs.

Gu Mingda handed the child to Zhang Yunniang and hurried out. After the doctor prescribed medicine, he walked in with a middle-aged man with a mustache.

The man was wearing a blue gown and a black hat. Gu Mingda called him Shopkeeper Zheng.

Shopkeeper Zheng looked arrogant when facing others, and he always looked indifferent when greeting him. Some people shyly asked for a half-cent loan, but he rejected them all with a cold face.

Only when facing Gu Mingda, shopkeeper Zheng would smile.

"My younger brother is sick. Could you please help the shopkeeper put his fingerprints on him?" Gu Mingda said.

Shopkeeper Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After taking the money, he pressed Zhang Guangzong's finger on the IOU.

Little Cai was beaten to a disgrace by Liu Xiaoru. If the doctor hadn't arrived in time, Liu Xiaoru would have continued to beat her.

When the doctor was treating Zhang Guangzong, little Ms. Cai huddled in the corner of the room. When shopkeeper Zheng came in, she wanted to run away, but the door was blocked, so she could only continue to stay in the corner like a quail.

"I won't lend money, even if it's only half a penny of profit!" Little Cai shouted.

Liu Xiaoru's voice was louder than hers: "Your man is dying and you don't save him. You are the one who really wants him to die!"

The sound was so loud that Zhang Guangzong, who was so dizzy with fever, heard it and struggled to raise his hand, as if he wanted to say something.

Liu Xiaoru took one look and immediately continued to shout through the loudspeaker: "Look, your man is so angry with you!"

Xiao Cai was furious, but she still hid and refused to put her fingerprints on the IOU.

Zhang Yunniang gave Liu Xiaoru a look, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, directly held Xiao Cai and grabbed her hand to put her fingerprints.

The IOU now has the fingerprints of both husband and wife, so even if they want to deny it, they can't hide.

The doctor collected the medical expenses, and Gu Mingda asked the doctor to write a receipt for the money.

The money was spent in real money, so the doctor naturally did not refuse.

There were still many people watching the excitement in the yard. Zhang Yunniang handed over the bank IOU, the medical expenses receipt, and the remaining silver to Xiao Cai in front of everyone, and calculated the account again in front of everyone.

The doctor spent three taels of silver, and borrowed a total of ten taels of silver. Now the extra seven taels of silver is for the couple to spend in the capital city.

Little Cai held the silver in her hand, but she still refused to pay: "This account is wrong, the couple teamed up to take my money!"

But today's account is clear, and the bank owner and the doctor have not left yet.

"Mrs. Zhang, what do you think is wrong? Is it the medical expenses or the money I lent? If you really can't figure it out, I'll calculate it for you again." Manager Zheng said with narrowed eyes.

Little Cai said: "No, none of them are right! You and Gu Mingda are in the same group, of course you help him! You forced me to press my fingerprints, you don't have good intentions!"

Before Manager Zheng spoke, the doctor's face turned cold and said: "Mrs. Zhang, your husband is so sick, and you keep asking for good medicine. I have been practicing medicine in this area for more than ten years. Who in the neighborhood doesn't know my reputation? Three taels of silver is already the lowest price. If you think I'm cheating you, you can just not treat him!"

The doctor turned into the room and was about to take the medicine back.

Xiao Cai hurriedly stopped him and said a lot of nice things before finally calming him down.

After the doctor was coaxed, Manager Zheng spoke again: "Mrs. Zhang, how much money I lent is clearly written in black and white. You are talking nonsense and tarnishing my innocent reputation. Let's go to the officials now and let the adults in the government office judge it!"

My dears, there are many things to do today, so I will only update this time. I will update twice a day next month!
