At this time, Old Man Gu, Old Lady Gu and Li were busy harvesting soybeans on the edge of the field. They were about to harvest rice, so they had to harvest the beans on the edge of the field first before harvesting the rice.

At this time, Da Ni and Er Ni hurried over and said that Chen wanted them to go home. Old Man Gu was a little confused. They were doing well, and it was not time for dinner. Why did she ask them to go home at this time?

So he asked Da Ni why she asked them to go back. Da Ni only said that someone came to the house, but she didn't know who it was, and she didn't know it either. Er Ni added that it was her aunt.

After this, Old Man Gu and Li looked at each other in bewilderment. Shouldn't Zhao, Erni's aunt, be in Jiangzhou at this time? Why did she come back? And how dare they come to their house when they did such a shameless thing?

With such doubts, the three of them returned home. But Li went in through the back door. After all, she didn't want to see her sister-in-law. Last time, she stole the secret recipe and mocked her arrogantly. Li is still angry.

Zhao saw that both Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu had returned, but Li was not there. She was a little anxious and asked Li why she hadn't come back yet.

Mr. Gu coughed and reminded him that he was here and he was the head of the Gu family. If there was anything, he could tell him. But Zhao only wanted to see Li and didn't want to tell them.

After a stalemate for a while, Li came out of the house. She also wanted to know how her sister-in-law had the face to see her. After all, it was she who instigated her brother to fight with her.

As soon as Zhao saw Li, she started crying and begging Li to save her family.

This crying made everyone present confused. What happened? She was fine just now, but she started crying in an instant. Even the actors didn't cry so fast.

However, Li felt disgusted when she heard her crying now, and asked her to speak up if she had anything to say. When Zhao heard this, she stopped crying immediately, wiped her non-existent tears and said, "Aunt, you have to save your brother. He is now lying in bed and can't move."

The more Li listened, the more confused she became. She was selling ice jelly in Jiangzhou a few days ago, but she was lying in bed so soon. She didn't use any strength when she fought.

Zhao continued, "Aunt, we shouldn't have stolen your secret recipe. I instigated your brother to sell ice jelly. It's all my fault, and it has nothing to do with your brother. The day before yesterday, we were still selling ice jelly in Jiangzhou, and suddenly a man who claimed to be the King of England came. Seeing that our ice jelly was good, he asked for our secret recipe. But Dezi didn't want to give it, so the man called a group of people to overturn our stall, broke Dezi's legs, and told us not to appear in Jiangzhou in the future. Your brother is still lying unconscious in bed. The doctor said that it would cost a lot of money to cure him. But we have only been selling ice jelly for a few days, and the stall was smashed again. We really can't afford so much..." Hearing this, Li's heart was suddenly pulled, and she felt sorry for her brother. But then she thought again, she felt that her brother deserved what he did to her. It would have been fine if he had just stolen the secret recipe to sell ice jelly, but he did it too ruthlessly, which made her heart cold. Now that this has happened, she only wants to say that it is retribution.

Li broke free from Zhao's hand and replied indifferently: "Sister-in-law, you have seen that my husband's family and my parents' family are the same. They want to share the same trousers. How can I lend money to my parents' family?"

When Mrs. Gu heard that Li had refused, she felt that Li had done a good job. If she borrowed money from such a family again, it would definitely be a waste of money. Why bother with it again!

When Zhao heard Li's refusal, she knelt down and hugged Li's thighs and cried: "Aunt, I have no choice but to beg you. I, a woman, can't think of any other way. Are you going to make your brother unable to walk from now on? How can you be so cruel? There is no sister in the world who would watch her brother become disabled without treatment!"

Zhao's crying was less than her shouting, and it was obvious that she was deliberately causing a commotion. Sure enough, some people in the village have started to point fingers, but they dare not come over, for fear that this guy will pester them and ask them for money. Li's heart softened when she heard this, thinking that after all, he was her own brother, and she couldn't just watch her brother become disabled.

Li raised her eyes and looked at Old Lady Gu, hoping that she could borrow some money to her parents' home. She knew

Only Old Lady Gu has the final say on borrowing money at home.

Old Lady Gu is so shrewd, how can she not see the trick inside? If Zhao is really desperate, why would she be like this? The day before yesterday, she was beaten in Jiangzhou, and today she came to borrow money, how could it be so fast. And there are two shining silver hairpins "poking" on Zhao's forehead, which doesn't look like her family's assets have been emptied. And she was obviously the bad guy first, but now she intends to say that if Li doesn't lend money, her brother's legs will be crippled, making it seem like Li's responsibility. Isn't this obviously moral kidnapping!

Old Lady Gu stepped forward to help Zhao up, and said with a pleasant face that since the two families are relatives, they will naturally not sit idly by and will do their best to help.

When Zhao heard Old Lady Gu say this, he felt that this matter had a chance. He figured it out at home. Since he had fallen out with Li, the second aunt, he might as well take this opportunity to borrow another sum of money, and he wouldn't have to pay it back in the future. This is a matter of life and death, I think she would be embarrassed to refuse to lend it.

So she patted the dust off her buttocks, and said with a smile that she had to rely on her in-laws at the critical moment.

Old Mrs. Gu also held her hand amiably and motioned her to go out. Zhao didn't quite understand. Shouldn't Old Mrs. Gu go into the house to get the money at this time? Why did she pull him out? So she asked: "Aunt, shouldn't you go to get the money? Why are you pulling me out?"

Old Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "Yes, didn't I say I would help? My nephew from my mother's family works in the pawnshop in the county. Let's go to your house quickly. You bring the land deed. I will talk to him and let him give you a good price."

When Zhao heard this, her face changed instantly. She came to Gu's house to ask for money, not to sell the land deed. Seeing that Old Lady Gu was about to pull her out of the house, she struggled to break free, ran towards Li angrily, grabbed her clothes and shouted: "I know you have money. Haven't you been selling ice jelly in Jiangzhou for more than a month? You still have at least 20 taels of silver on you. You can't cheat me. I have also bought ice jelly. If you don't give me the money, your brother will not forgive you. Your mother said that if you don't pay, you can't even think about entering your mother's house in the future."

Li was a little shaken at first, but when she saw that Old Lady Gu asked her to sell the land deed but she refused, she insisted on asking her for money and calculated how much money she had earned in more than a month. This is obviously well prepared, and she wants to empty their family. Thinking of this, Li was very angry. This mother's family really calculated her very well. At first, they said they were borrowing money, and now they let her pay. This is completely a plan to only take in and not spend.
