Even if she could beat him up, what use would it be? She still couldn’t keep that Yang Daniu’s mouth shut, could she?

Unless he became mute or died.

But how could she possibly make someone mute or dead?

It must be said, even though Yang Xiaocui feigned fainting to play tricks, her courage wasn’t that big yet, not to the point of killing someone; she was just a young girl after all. Her initial goal was simply to marry into a good family, have enough to eat, that’s all.

But human desires are like this; they keep growing.

After telling one lie, she had to tell countless lies to cover for that one, which made Yang Xiaocui start deviating from her path, going further and further.

Now she stood in front of Yang Dong; if she didn’t speak up, she couldn’t deal with that Yang Daniu.

After much thought, she finally spoke up, still acting meek, lowering her head and said softly, "I, I want to borrow some Silver from you."

Yang Dong didn’t expect Yang Xiaocui to ask him for Silver, was there some difficulty she was facing?

Her family took the betrothal gift and the hazelnut money, totaling eleven taels. It wasn’t as if they were out of Silver, could it be Yang Xiaocui herself was facing some difficulty, and her family wouldn’t give her any Silver?

He asked, "What do you need the Silver for?"

At this moment, Yang Xiaocui started crying softly again. Seeing her like this, Yang Dong was quite annoyed because back then, she was crying softly like this before she ran into the tree. He most disliked women who cried at the drop of a hat all day long.

Why did he dislike something, and this Yang Xiaocui had to be like that? He felt this Yang Xiaocui was simply opposing him, if not, then it was Heaven opposing him.

With some impatience, he said, "Stop crying, say what you have to say."

Yang Xiaocui heard his impatient tone, and for some reason, she was a little afraid of this Yang Dong; she was afraid Yang Dong would dislike her, so she immediately stopped crying and said softly, "My mom says I’m not sick, as long as I have enough to eat in the future, there’s no need to take medicine. She sold my medicine in town." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"What?" Yang Dong was shocked by this incident.

Yang Dong’s reaction also surprised Yang Xiaocui very much. She told this to Li Chuntao, and unexpectedly, Li Chuntao was really foolish. She asked her to keep it secret, and she really didn’t reveal this at all to the Yang Family.

It seemed Yang Dong was completely unaware of this matter, so she nodded and continued, "But I know, I am really sick."

She pointed to her chest, "This place hurts every day, even if I’ve eaten, it still hurts. I was thinking, could I borrow some Silver from you, buy some medicine secretly, and take it when my family isn’t home to cure my illness? I don’t know anyone else, so I can only come to you."

Yang Xiaocui sounded so pitiful, anyone listening would feel very sorry for her. Her words weren’t fake, she truly felt pain, she should take that medicine to cure her sickness, but her mom wouldn’t allow it; Heaven wouldn’t allow it. She could only use this to gain Yang Dong’s sympathy and take the Silver for medicine to keep Yang Daniu quiet.

Hearing this, Yang Dong’s expression indeed changed; he was quite angry. He didn’t expect Aunt Lan Hua to be so heartless, not letting her own daughter see a doctor, and secretly taking the medicine money. As someone always clear in his loves and hates, how could he stand this, and moreover, it was his paid medicine money. He raised his foot to leave, saying, "I’m going to find your mom."
