Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Dead End_1

“Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? If my family had silver, would I still need to beg Father-in-law? Erhu wouldn’t have gone hunting in the mountains and gotten injured like this just to earn money. Everyone knows about the incident when Auntie beat me up last time; all the silver at home got used up for my treatment. But the silver Auntie compensated for my medical expenses went to Father-in-law already, otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to you. I know that Erhu isn’t your biological child, but he always treats you with utmost respect. Isn’t it heartless of you to talk about him like this?”

After Lin Yue finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Wei Family’s reaction and turned towards Zhao Jingen, “Father-in-law, please, I beg you to give me some silver so I can get a doctor for Brother Erhu. He’s so badly hurt; we can’t delay any longer. I’m not asking for much, just the silver Auntie had given us for our medical treatment. Or else think of it as a loan, when I have money in the future, I’ll repay you. He’s your legitimate son after all, you can’t just let him die without helping, can you?”

Because Zhao Jingen and the Wei Family were her elders, Lin Yue kept her posture extremely low, but her words were filled with accusations and blame. Wei Family’s face grew increasingly uglier. She hadn’t expected that Erhu’s wife, who seemed so meek usually, was actually so formidable. No wonder even Auntie Zhao Lan suffered a loss at her hands. The silver taken back from Auntie had cost them great effort, leading to a complete fallout with her family, and they had only managed to reclaim two taels of silver. Now, Erhu’s household expected to just take it back? They were really good at making calculations. Today, she was determined not to give the money no matter what.

“Wife, seeing how desperate Erhu’s wife is, Erhu must be truly hurt badly. Why don’t you take out some silver for Erhu’s wife to deal with the emergency?” Zhao Jingen was at a loss for words when questioned by Lin Yue, and suddenly, as if his conscience had been pricked, he felt a little guilty towards Zhao Erhu, so the words just slipped out, but upon seeing the displeasure on Wei Family’s face, he closed his mouth.

Wei Family paid no attention to Zhao Jingen at all. That man was too soft-hearted. If he hadn’t been, he wouldn’t have gotten involved with that woman behind her back. She had felt trapped at the time, or else why would she choose such a man? Perhaps there were some advantages to a spiritless man – over the years, she had tightly controlled Zhao Jingen to the point where he dared not step out of line.

Once she made up her mind, Wei Family understood all too well she was no match for Lin Yue in verbal sparring – one trap after another in that woman’s words, and she was certain to gain no advantage in this regard. Since they had torn their faces anyway, there was no point in keeping up appearances. Besides, with the youngest now a government officer, she had more confidence. Even if there were some idle gossip in the village over this affair, it would only be whispered behind her back, not daring to confront her. Even the village head had to show some respect; with this in mind, Wei Family spoke even more impolitely.

“Here’s the thing, Erhu’s wife, you needn’t try to incite us with your words. Zhao Erhu does indeed have Zhao Family’s blood, but he has already branched out on his own. The truth is we don’t have any silver at home. Instead of wasting time here arguing with us, you’d be better off thinking of another solution. Otherwise, if something serious happens to Zhao Erhu, don’t even think about relying on us to help you out.”

After the Zhao Family spoke, they ignored the surrounding onlookers’ strange looks and entered the courtyard with the people from Zhao Family’s ancestral home, slamming the door shut with a bang. Lin Yue knelt in front of the courtyard gate, dumbfounded. When she came back to her senses, she cried even more tragically, her body trembling as she continued to kneel in place, refusing to leave. In the eyes of the villagers, Erhu’s wife was truly out of options and had no other choice but to do what she did.
