“For no reason? It seems that you are ignorant of what’s happening here. Okay, I will tell you why I am here and why I am smashing their things.”
Yang Sigen turned his head to find Mrs. Liu’s figure in the yard. Then, he pointed his finger on her: “This Liu Shi went to our Baiyang Village and said that there is a girl in their family that is looking for a husband. So, she asked everyone if there was a suitable family.”
“The bachelor in the Baiyang village is quite a lot. I am only one among them. After Liu Shi asked a few families, she had chosen me in the end. At that time, we made an agreement. I decided to give her 10 silver coins as advance payment. After 3 days, I will pick up the girl and give the rest of the money.”
When Village Chief Li heard this, there was something in his heart that he couldn't understand. Village Chief Li swept his cold eyes to the old lady and Mrs. Liu. Those two evil women were becoming more and more outrageous. How old Bai Zhi to be married to such a fierce and sinister old man? He’s afraid that this man was even older than Bai Erzhu, right?
Yang Sigen continued to speak: “It was originally a happy event. I already prepared everything at home. I am only waiting for the agreed schedule. But today, I unexpectedly heard that this girl, Bai Zhi, was badly injured a few days ago. Because of this, she can no longer bear a child. So tell me, why should I keep a woman who can’t give birth? To have some decoration at home?”
Village Chief Li nodded his head: “Even so, it doesn’t mean, you can just smash things here, right?”
Yang Sigen replied: “I also don’t want to do this. That’s why, I talked to them, but they didn’t listen. They said that I am only talking nonsense. They refuse to admit that they were lying. They didn’t also try to inquire. Say, is I, Yang Sigen, easy to be trifled with?”
Old Lady Bai hurriedly climbed up from the ground and pointed her finger at Yang Sigen: “Nonsense. How can Bai Zhi not bear a child? Who’s bastard said that? If there is such a case, why I, the grandmother, doesn’t know this?”
Mrs. Liu also opened her mouth and said: “Yes, I also don’t know this matter. Bai Zhi was in a good condition. She even went digging up wild vegetables yesterday.”
Yang Sigen pointed his finger to Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu: “You see, I am trying to reason out with them, but what did they say? Did they admit it?”
Village Chief Li pondered for a moment, then said: “Since that is the case, it’s better to ask a doctor to come and see. Let’s make Lu Dafu clear things in front of everyone, how about that?”
Yang Sigen naturally agreed: “Well, I will listen to you.”
Old Lady Bai was a bit hesitant. This matter was better off unchecked. After all, even if Yang Sigen knew about this matter, if the truth was kept hidden, then her 20 silver coins will not fly away.
But at this moment, it seems that she can't refuse.
Old Lady Bai can only bite the bullet and said: “Go, go and call a doctor. Who’s afraid of who?”
Old Lady Bai then walked towards Mrs. Liu and wink: “What are you still waiting for? Go and ask Lu Dafu to come over.”
Mrs. Liu and Old Lady Bai have been mother-in-law for more than decades. So, she understood the meaning of this wink. She immediately answered right away and planning to go out, but she saw Doctor Lu squeezing out himself to the crowd.
Doctor Lu smiled and said: “I just came back from the town and saw a big crowd. So, I came over to take a look. But, I didn’t expect that someone will mention me.”
Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu’s face drastically changed. Their relationship with Doctor Lu was bad. They still owed him 6 silver coins. So, even if they call him, he wouldn’t come. But now that he’s here if he diagnosed Bai Zhi’s condition, will things end up good?
