Chapter 109 - Who Will Do It?

“I fixed his legs with wooden planks before he went down the mountain.”

Zhao Zhan frowned when he encountered such an unreasonable person.

“Lend Lizheng’s ox cart and give him two copper coins to send Wencai to town instead.

“Your family’s silver is managed by your mother-in-law, ask her what to do next.”

“If that old woman could take out the silver, would I have come to you?”

Wencai’s wife wiped her face fiercely. “If you don’t care about this, I’ll go to your new house every day and cause a scene. Let’s see if those people dare to help you build it.

“You have no conscience. You have the money to build a house, but you don’t even care about your cousin’s broken leg. Be careful of your retribution in the future!”

“Be careful, whatever you say now may bite you back in the future,” Yue Jiaojiao asked Zhao Zhan to put her down and stood beside him, looking at Wencai’s wife opposite her. “Didn’t you want to save your husband? Alright, come with us to find Lizheng. After all, if you want to send your husband to the town, you can’t do it without a proper ox cart.”

“Really? You’re willing?” Wencai’s wife had a look of disbelief on her face. “Are you that kind? ”

“It’s fine if you don’t believe me.” Yue Jiaojiao shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “My husband is standing beside me, perfectly fine, anyway… Zhao Zhan, since she isn’t willing to go, let’s go back.”

“Wait! I’ll go with you!” Wencai’s wife hurriedly said, “It just so happens that I have the time right now to go. You wouldn’t dare to lie to me even if I ignored you.”

When the three of them arrived at Lizheng’s house, Lizheng was just about to head out. “Zhao Zhan? Why are you guys here?” Lizheng glanced at Wencai’s wife, who was standing behind them, and lowered his voice. “Are you here to settle the matter? I’ve heard about Zhao Wencai’s matter, and I’m about to go take a look.”

“Lizheng, ” Yue Jiaojiao’s voice was filled with a smile, “Shall we go in and have a chat? I have something to trouble you with.”

“What are you guys discussing behind my back?” Wencai’s wife couldn’t hear anything even if she pricked up her ears. She put her hands on her hips and was about to curse, “Even if I’m here today, I’m still going to say it. Don’t you dare think of reneging the money for my husband’s doctor!”

Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t be bothered with her. She held Zhao Zhan’s hand and followed Lizheng into the courtyard.

Seeing that Wencai’s wife was about to follow him in, Zhao Zhan tilted his head and gave her a warning look. “Since Jiaojiao has already promised you, she won’t go back on her words. You don’t have to follow her all the time.”

Frightened by his gaze, Wencai’s wife shrank her shoulders and stood by the door, staring inside unwillingly.

“Lizheng, you know that Wencai’s leg was injured, right?” Yue Jiaojiao pointed out the reason for her visit. “Now that they’re relying on us because we’re from the same village, if we don’t do anything, someone will criticize Zhao Zhan in the future. After all, losing a leg is also a big deal. But you also know her, if we lend them this money, they will definitely not return it in the future. So we want you to do us a favor. Just say that you lent them the money, and we will give you the exact amount.”

“I think, no matter how unreasonable they are, they would not dare to not take the money they owe you.”

“This idea of yours is not bad,” Lizheng pondered for a moment and nodded, “You’re doing the right thing. After all, you’re all related. Even if the relationship is shaky, you can’t really be so heartless as to watch Wencai cripple one of his legs.”
