Mrs. Yang shrieked, "Two liang? Why is it so expensive?"
Doctor Xu frowned, "You women really know nothing. Nowadays, many medicinal herbs have increased in price. Two liang is already a discount for you, considering we are fellow villagers."
Mrs. Yang looked eagerly at Mr. Jiang, and Jiang Rong straightforwardly said, "Dad, fetch the silver."
Mr. Jiang sighed, got up, and walked out.
Jiang Rong followed Mr. Jiang out.
Shortly after, Mrs. Zhou’s shouting began in the main room, "All of you are debt collectors!"
"I must have owed you all in my past life, asking me for silver. Where do I have so much silver!"
Mrs. Zhou still doesn’t know that Jiang Erlang’s injuries were thanks to Gu Yunjiao, otherwise she would be cursing a calamity star by now.
Jiang Rong gritted his teeth and suddenly yelled, "Mom, can you stop cursing?"
"Erlang ended up like this because he listened to you!"
"Also, Erlang is the family’s eldest grandson. We’ve done so much for this family. What’s wrong with spending a bit of silver?"
Mrs. Chen in the room heard Jiang Rong’s words loud and clear.
She couldn’t help but recall being hit in the face by Mrs. Zhou with copper coins.
She saw through it now, Mrs. Zhou only ever thinks about herself, whether it’s a son or grandson, asking for money is like asking for her life.
Mrs. Zhou never imagined that there would be a time when she would be criticized.
She widened her eyes, slapped her thigh, and started to howl, "You’re a cursed thing, even dare to curse your own mother—"
"Shut up!" Mr. Jiang shouted loudly, and Mrs. Zhou’s words were stuck in her throat.
Don’t be fooled by how Mrs. Zhou often acts tough, as soon as Mr. Jiang speaks, she doesn’t dare to disobey.
Jiang Rong came out and gave the silver to Doctor Xu, and Jiang Hua escorted Doctor Xu out.
Mrs. Yang waited for him to come back and said through gritted teeth, "Husband, are we just going to let this go? We’re just going to swallow this silence?"
Jiang Rong replied angrily, "What else can we do?"
"That girl is clearly crazy, if you’re not afraid, you go confront her!"
Mrs. Yang opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything, with how fiercely Gu Yunjiao acted, how could she dare confront her?
But she was unwilling.
After a long while, Jiang Rong said again, "Stop thinking about that, our family can’t handle that girl."
"Once Erlang recovers, go to Matchmaker Qian and quickly find a wife for Erlang, once that’s settled, we can be at ease."
Mrs. Yang agreed reluctantly.
Just then, from the main room came Mrs. Zhou’s earth-shaking curses, "Little wench, calamity star!"
On the bed, Jiang Erlang, who had just fallen into a groggy sleep, shook all over and woke up frightfully.
"Never seen such a venomous shrew."
"Oh heavens, what did our family do to deserve such a shrew?"
"Oh heavens, why don’t you strike her dead with lightning!"
Usually, Jiang Erlang wouldn’t mind Mrs. Zhou’s curses, but now he was in pain all over, just wanting rest, yet she was still making a ruckus.
He couldn’t help but mutter, "Grandmother is annoying, always cursing, no matter how much she curses, she won’t lose a piece of flesh, what’s the point?"
Mrs. Chen heard Mrs. Zhou’s curses and hurriedly grabbed a tuft of cotton, walking into Gu Yunjiao’s room, as she plugged her ears with cotton, she said, "Ignore her, just think of it as a mad dog barking."
Gu Yunjiao smiled but said nothing.
Mrs. Zhou cursed half the night, her throat turned hoarse.
The next morning, while Gu Yunjiao was brushing her teeth in the courtyard, she saw Mrs. Zhou hoarsely gesturing as she talked to Liu Family.
She couldn’t help but chuckle, spraying a mouthful of white foam on the ground.
