Chapter 10: Beat you, shameless and ruthless

  Lin Xue Rou's mood was slightly affected, she turned around and walked away, her ponytail swishing back and forth as she went up the stairs.

  He suddenly turned around and asked, "If you need help, just go to Ward 4 of the General Hospital to find me. When I have time, I'll go take a look at the old man's place."

  With a faint voice, a snow-white figure turned around the stairs and disappeared.

  "What did she say?" Zhao Zhiqiang didn't notice her, half of his attention was on the strange thing in his heart, which seemed to be changing.

  Zhao Zhigang, although only in high school, was quite mature. Looking at the empty staircase, he shook his head and said, "Brother, she said if there's anything, you can find her on the fourth floor of the general outpatient department. However, I think you should leave your phone number with her..."

  "What?"

  "Uh, nothing..."

  Zhao Zhigang's mind wandered back to the money that hadn't been spent yet.

  "Speak up..."

  "The food for mother has gone cold." Zhao Zhigang was very supportive of his elder brother, but he still wasn't too happy.

  "It wasn't this sentence just now." Zhao Zhiqiang's mind was still on the copper coin, 50,000 yuan, which gave him five times his usual mental control power!

  That means one thousand yuan is just for first class?

  "This value for money is just too ridiculous......" muttering to himself, scolding the copper shell in his heart!

  "What did you say, brother?"

  "Uh, nothing..."

  "I just said the rice I brought has gone cold." Zhao Zhi thought his big brother was angry, and looked at his face seriously, saying "Besides, your face is too pale, no good, later I'll buy you a black chicken to eat!"

  "My stuff aside, I'll find some hot water outside the rice box and put it in a bowl to warm up. Ugh, don't make that stinky face, about money, forget it, you don't need to worry, starting tomorrow, focus on reviewing, next year is high school third grade, Old Zhao's family is counting on you! Don't worry, with me around, tens of thousands of debt and mom's illness are not a big deal!"

  Patted his brother's head and smiled.

  Zhao Zhigang listened to his brother's words and found that his spirit had become much better, and it seemed that he now had a bit of energy in his body too. Except for the fact that his face was still pale and somewhat frightening...

  As they spoke, they walked and soon entered the nephrology ward's room C746. It was a standard three-person room, but now it had four beds.

  The two brothers hadn't entered the house yet, but they heard a woman inside speaking loudly.

  "I'm talking about the debt you owed to Zhao Jinfai's family. You said two years ago that you would pay us back, but every year you say it will be paid soon, and now three years have passed! Are you going to pay or not? If you can't afford to pay, then I think you should just give us the land by the river as compensation. Five thousand yuan with interest over three years is at least seven thousand yuan. Let us farm it for ten years, and my land will be adjacent to yours. We can build a greenhouse, and your family's corn yield is only about 500 yuan per year. If you let us farm it, you won't lose anything either. What do you say?"

  The woman's voice was very hoarse, and Zhao Zhiqiang and his brother felt a lump in their throats when they heard it, but they had already figured out who the speaker was.

  The two brothers walked into the ward, one in front of the other.

  The old mother's thin body was dressed in a hospital gown and sat slantingly on the bed with a tired look.

  The woman stood on the ground with her legs apart, her thick body like a wall. Next to her was a short man, accompanied by their teenage son. The ward was already crowded, and with their arrival, they almost occupied all the space near the door.

  What made Zhao Zhiqiang even more angry was that this had to be settled in the hospital, wasn't this intentionally making trouble for people?!

  Money, it's not like I don't want to pay back...

  But after all, I owe him this, so I'll have to swallow my pride for now.

  "Big Strong, how did you come?"

  Old Mother Hua Xue Mei was shocked, a face that must have been more attractive when she was young, now looked worn out.

  Watching her eldest son come over, she felt anxious, "Your illness... hasn't recovered yet, how can you say that, uh, I've had dialysis and can go back..."

  "Mom, I'm fine." Grabbing his mother's hand, Zhao Zhiqiang's nose turned sour and tears almost fell, but he turned around and went back.

  Mom hasn't been seen for days and has lost more weight, her face is also pale and scary.

  Zhao Zhigang gave the woman a glance, preparing to rinse his lunchbox with boiling water. Neither of the two brothers said anything to this fellow villager and neighbor. To them, being forced to return money in front of outsiders was already a loss of face, and they were seething with anger inside.

  "Hey, isn't this the big strong guy who served in the army and even went abroad? He's back but doesn't even go visit his aunt, what's wrong with him, is he sick too?" The woman exaggeratedly twisted her waist, "Tsk tsk, you say your family, how did they all become sickly?"

  "Your whole family is sick!"

  Zhao Zhiqiang retorted back with curses.

  He had wanted to suppress his anger, because he didn't know if this money was also borrowed for his mother's illness, after all, they had helped him out, so at first he didn't say anything. But then the woman actually cursed his whole family!

  "You, you!" The woman did not expect Zhao Zhiqiang to scold her and was momentarily speechless.

  "Mom, why did we borrow money from her family?"

  Hua Xue Mei smoothed her hair, which wasn't messy to begin with, took a sip of water handed to her by her son, and glanced at the neighbor. "Three years ago, our family borrowed a cow from your Uncle Wang's house to farm, but it died back then. The 5,000 yuan was the compensation your dad said we should pay to the owner."

  Zhao Zhigang suddenly interrupted, "Brother, that cow, the village head said it's worth at most 3,000, but she said her family's cow is already pregnant with a calf, and insisted on 5,000. And in three years, without paying interest, it became 7,000. Now I hear they want to occupy land, and they're eyeing our family's good land!"

  That short man pulled his wife's arm and said, "Cuihua, I told you not to come here, but you still came..."

  "Get out! You son of a bitch, you're not as good as my Miao Cuihua. You're just a fart!" The fat woman suddenly burst into anger and shouted, "Without me, can you make a living? A good cow died for no reason, and his family won't compensate, who will? You're just like Zhao Jinfu, nothing you do is successful, everything you eat is not enough!"

  "What did you say?" Zhao Zhiqiang immediately bellowed!

  Bang!

  Bang!

  Bang!

  A loud and clear voice like thunder in one's ears!

  Louder than Zhao Tiejun's three shouts.

  Enraged Zhao Zhiqiang had been unable to hold back for a long time, but just as he was about to stand up and reason with the woman, two fragrant figures suddenly darted in from the doorway. Before he could even see who it was, he heard the sound of slaps ringing out one after another!

  Hua Xue Mei was frightened and grabbed her son who had just stood up.

  Zhao Zhigang was so shocked that he almost dropped the lunchbox in his hand.

  Zhao Zhiqiang was also somewhat puzzled and hadn't seen clearly.

  The man was squeezed aside, and the child was frightened by this sudden change and cried out "wa" in fright.

  "Auntie!" The little kid suddenly saw the person he feared most and immediately burst into tears.

  "Miao Cuihua! Is this how you bully people?! You want debt repayment, fine! But Zhao Zhiqiang's mother is still on dialysis. When she was hospitalized and they came to find you for money, didn't that hurt your conscience? You act like you've never seen money before! Your family isn't really struggling to make ends meet, are you?! Shameless!"

  Chen Lijin and Su Fengrong didn't exert themselves much, they just thought it wasn't right to visit a patient empty-handed, so they bought some food at the supermarket downstairs, which is why they were one step behind Zhao Zhiqiang.

  Just as I walked to the door, I happened to hear Miao Cuihua's loud and boastful words.

  The two women, both shrews, one deliberately tried to get along with Zhao Zhiqiang and the other with Zhao Zhigang. They exchanged a glance, Chen Lijuan in front and Su Fengrong behind immediately rushed in and slapped Miao Cuihua's face cleanly!

  "Beat you, shameless and unscrupulous!"

  Hit her? For Chen Lijin, it wasn't the first time...
