Xiao Yishan, being told this, found it hard to say anything about leniency.

Aunt Zhang couldn’t bear to watch anymore, “Dashan and Chuan are still lying on the bed unable to get up, and they definitely need many more days to rest. We don’t even know how much money will be needed for medical expenses later on. You are pressing for debt at this time, Granny Sun, you are really going too far.”

Granny Sun’s eldest son, Sun Laijin, and his wife Sun Chen-shi were also present, along with three other villagers who had come to watch the commotion.

With a hesitant expression on his face, Sun Laijin spoke to Granny Sun, “Mom, the Xiao Family is in trouble now, how about we give them some more time…”

“You useless thing!” Granny Sun, who was in her sixties, slapped the head of

Sun Laijin, who was around forty years old. “You blockhead! When has the Xiao Family not been in trouble? I’ve never seen them prosper. Are you waiting for them to become rich before they repay the debt? They won’t become wealthy even in their next life! There are so many poor people, do you think our family is very rich? Your father is just an old man, how many more years can he treat people? You, good-for-nothing, can’t even master the diagnosis and inherit your father’s medical skills. Your two sons should be looking for wives; do you think that doesn’t require money?

Pointing towards Xiao Yishan in the room, “The Xiao Family’s second son was bitten by a poisonous snake. In case he becomes paralyzed, you know that someone from the neighboring village who was also bitten by a snake barely survived, but who knows which muscles and nerves were ruined by the venom. He had to stay in bed, and others had to serve him even to poop and pee. Even if the Xiao Family’s second son doesn’t become paralyzed and recovers, who knows if his broken leg will make him limp later on, and whether he can go hunting is still uncertain. Xiao Yuchuan is a sick child who may die at any moment. Even if he can get out of bed, can he bear the responsibility of supporting a family with his frequent fainting spells? The Xiao Family’s fourth son is destined to be useless. It’s only a matter of time before Su Qingyue runs away, so why wait for her to leave before asking for repayment of the debt?”

Sun Laijin was an honest man and always afraid of his mother. He didn’t dare to say a word when being scolded.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan in the master bedroom tried to keep their faces straight, looking at once annoyed and ashamed.

Xiao Qinghe in the secondary bedroom looked dully gloomy.

‘Granny Sun, your words are too harsh…” Aunt Zhang was getting annoyed.

“Who talks like that?”

“I’m not wronging their family!” Granny Sun said, furious. “Aunt from the Zhang Family, don’t act all righteous. The Xiao Family hasn’t owed you money, so it doesn’t hurt you to stand there and talk. If you can, help the Xiao Family repay the 4 taels and seven hundred and ninety copper coins!”

Nearly 5 taels was no small sum. Aunt Zhang was choked and couldn’t speak.

“How about it? Can’t help, can you?” Granny Sun sneered maliciously. “If you can’t help, then shut up and step aside!”

The other three villagers who came to watch the show also kept their mouths shut. There was only one doctor in the village, Granny Sun’s husband Sun

Changde. They still needed to rely on Doctor Sun for medical treatment later. How could they offend Granny Sun for the sake of this poor and rundown Xiao Family?

Among them, Liu Xiaohong had a smirk on her face. Her cousin sister Liu

Xianglian had a grudge against Su Qingyue, and she couldn’t wait for the Xiao

Family to get poorer and poorer, lose face and be driven to death by debt. “Aunt Zhang, you are always fair. Why do you completely favor the Xiao Family? They haven’t given you any benefits. It’s as if Granny Sun is particularly hateful. To be clear, it’s the Xiao Family who hasn’t repaid the debt. Doctor Sun has been lenient with them. Who would tolerate having to drag on without repaying their debts? Yes, the Xiao Family is poor, but whose life is easy? There are so many poor people under the sky that poverty alone isn’t a reason not to repay debts. It’s clear that the Xiao Family is in the wrong!”

Granny Sun nodded. “The girl from the Liu Family speaks the right words..”
