Liu Duo said nothing either. She also did not call back her dog.
She thought they should let the old woman have a taste of her own medicine, otherwise she would think they would not really harm her!
Although her heart panicked as she heard Grandmother Ye shrieking in the distance, if this was what it took to have peace in the future, then she would endure it.
Back to basics, they would pay for whatever damage and injuries. Money was not an issue!
It was a while later that they heard Grandmother Ye’s ear-splitting shrieks. Some villagers could not bear it any longer.
They advised the family, “Yang, Ling, you should tell your dog to let go. Regardless of whatever wrongs she has committed, she’s still your grandmother. Nothing can ever change this. Don’t take her life!”
“That’s right, take a step back. She won’t come and disturb you again after what happened today.”
Ye Ling and Aunt Li glanced at Ye Yang and Liu Duo after hearing those words.
Ye yang looked at the entrance to their yard, at the old woman currently at the mercy of Hei Xiaomeng. He found the scene neither terrifying nor cruel.
When he felt it was almost time, he whistled at Hei Xiaomeng. While the dog did not let go of its victim, it softened its hold on her.
Grandmother Ye forcefully withdrew her arm as she cried out in pain.
Liu Duo did not look at her. She said to Ye Ling, “Ling, give her forty wen. We’ll call it her medical expenses.”
“Oh, sure.” Ye Ling nodded.
Several villagers admitted that the wife of the Ye household was actually not so bad. She might be a bit fierce but at least she was kind-hearted.
Ye Yang saw Hei Xiaomeng still barking at the villain. He called out to it, “Xiaomeng, return!”
Grandmother Ye inspected her bloody arm, covered by bite marks. It was so painful that tears could not stop flowing.
She gave each and every one of them, including the dog, a mental scolding.
Obediently, Hei Xiaomeng ran back into the house this time, the grin on its face stretching as wide as its floppy ears and its red tongue flicking about. The image was the epitome of cuteness. It did not look at all like a savage dog who had just bitten a person.
“You did so well today I’m giving you a drumstick for dinner.” Liu Duo patted Hei Xiaomeng’s furry head, smiling.
Ye Ling took out the money and was about to bring it over to Grandmother Ye when Ye Yang stretched out his hand. “Ling, I’ll do it.”
He would not want Grandmother Ye to take revenge on his disabled brother later.
Without hesitation, Ye Ling let him have it.
Ye Yang took the forty wen strung properly on a linen thread and handed it to Grandmother Ye. “Your medical fee!”
“Ye Yang! You heartless blockhead! All of you are heartless animals, so you raise such a dangerous brute!” Grandmother Ye scolded him furiously.
“I am your grandmother, for god’s sake! How could you let your brute attack me? Look what you’ve done! And you think a bit of money can send me off? No way…”
It was then that some villagers approached. It was almost time for them to leave. They still had work to do at home.
They advised the old woman this time. “Grandmother Ye, take the money and look for Doctor Li quickly, alright? Quit yelling.”
“Yes, you have to stop the bleeding!”
Grandmother Ye cried out even more when she heard them. “Be reasonable, all of you! These brutes beat up my Xuan Er. I’m here looking for medical compensation and then I’m attacked and bitten by their dog! Do you see how terrible they are? I’m their grandmother!”
Ye Yang directly tossed the string of coins to her. “Leave!”
