"Milk, if you want to eat it, then take it back later. There's still a fish at home, do you want to take it back as well?" Tian Xiaomeng said lightly.
"You damned girl, who cares about your family's fish? Pah!" If she could throw a bowl and say that it was worth a tael, then her granddaughter's heart would be even darker than hers.
"Milk, do you have any other matters? If there's nothing else, you can leave as soon as you can. It's getting late, so my uncles should probably be hungry by now," Tian Xiaomeng added kindly.
"Stupid girl, don't think that I don't know what you're planning. Tell me, are you planning on taking the 10 silver taels to marry someone? Let me tell you, there's no way." Mrs. Lee did not hold the silver taels, so how could she be willing?
The family that used to obediently offer her the silver taels and other valuables had now given up on giving them to her even if they had the silver taels. They had really thought that she would let the matter go so easily.
Tian Xiaomeng sighed.
"Milk, let's put it this way. If you can get someone to treat my mother's illness within a day, I will give you this 10 silver coins. Do you think it's okay?" 10 silver coins, she really didn't take it seriously.
The problem was that it was a waste of time, so who would do such a thing?
Most importantly, her mother was still ill. Although she was young, she had to know how to plan.
Mrs. Lee glanced at Mrs. Liu in the room.
She cursed in her heart. It would be better if he died and she invited people to treat him. Her imagination was perfect.
The corner of his mouth curved into a smile. "My good granddaughter, that's right. Hand over the silver taels now and the milk will go to your mother to call for a doctor tomorrow. Do you think so?" First, she would snatch the silver from him. As for whether or not she could get a doctor, that would depend on her mood.
"First I'll cure my mother, then I'll give it to you. What if you don't do anything after taking the silver?"
Mrs. Lee's face immediately fell.
"Damn girl, I'm just teasing you." After talking for a long time, it turned out that Tian Xiaomeng had no intentions of giving her the silver. She wanted to grab Tian Xiaomeng's ears.
Mrs. Leesheng was tall and big. When she stood in front of the petite Tian Xiaomeng, Tian Xiaomeng immediately lowered her height.
Tian Xiaomeng's body slanted to the side as she walked out.
Mrs. Lee chased after him.
A stick appeared in his hand.
It seemed like he wanted to teach Xiaomeng a lesson.
"Stupid girl, how dare you tease me! Let's see if I'll beat you to death today! You money loser! You're unlucky! Even after so many years, you still refuse to recruit your father's younger brother! Let's see if I'll beat you to death!" Mrs. Lee's expression was ferocious, unleashing all the anger she had felt all night long.
Tian Xiaomeng sneered.
He took out a small stone from the kitchen and lightly flicked it, hitting Mrs. Lee's knee.
Mrs. Lee knelt down with a soft thud.
He was kneeling in the direction of Tian Xiaomeng's cooking area.
"Milk, you don't have to blame yourself. It was useless, your son didn't give birth to a grandson. Don't blame Xiaomeng." Seeing Mrs. Lee's posture, Tian Youfeng felt extremely upset.
Mrs. Lee couldn't say anything after she heard Tian Youfeng's words.
What self-blame.
Something had hit her just now.
She looked at Tian Xiaomeng.
The corner of Tian Xiaomeng's mouth curled up. "Milk, don't kneel for too long. It's good enough for the ancestors to know your intentions."
Tian Zongmin pursed his dry lips when he saw this scene.
Tonight, he finally understood the gist of the situation. The old couple wouldn't be able to get even a single silver tael from the family of the third brother. It would be futile for the old wife to continue making trouble.
He limped out, "It's going to happen. You guys hurry up. Your mom and I have to worry about this. It's late and everyone's hungry. Let's go back. We can talk about it another day." Since it was so late at night, there was nothing to be done. He might as well go home and discuss it to see if there was any way he could get that damned girl, Xiaomeng, to spit out the 10 taels of silver.
His sons looked at each other.
No way.
It ended so easily today.
His parents didn't even get a single silver tael.
Normally, they wouldn't give up until they had achieved their goal.
Mrs. Lee's feet were sore.
This time it was real.
She tried to stand up, but there was no strength in her legs.
"Get up, let's go." Tian Zongmin glanced at Mrs. Lee. After singing for a long time, Mrs. Lee didn't seem like she was going to eat at all.
"God damn it! Did you see that I can't get up now? I don't know if you can come over and help me up." Mrs. Lee scolded.
Mrs. Lee limped back with her sons.
On the way back, Wu Juntian glanced at Xiaomeng and asked softly, "Xiaomeng, does your father still have that medicine bowl? Can I borrow one to cook dinner for Fourth Uncle?"
The rice smelled so good, much better than the rice steamed in the big pot.
"Yes." Tian Xiaomeng answered without thinking.
Old Fourth was elated: "Okay then, can you get one for me now?"
Fourth Uncle, that's true, but as you know, this is the guy my dad used to eat. He gave Fourth Uncle a medicine bowl as a gift, and I still have to buy another one for him. What a joke, if she gave it to Fourth Uncle today, the other three would definitely come by tomorrow and ask for it.
They gave it to them, her family.
Tian Youzhu's face alternated between red and white.
"Little cute girl, what do you mean? You want money from your own family, right?" What kind of daughter did Third Brother give birth to? She took things from her own family, but she still had to take money from them.
There was no justice in the world.
"Fourth Uncle, if you want to blame something, then blame it. I learned it from him too."
Tian Youzhu: "..."
Tian Youzhu left in a huff.
He didn't forget to nag for a while before he left, "Third Brother, Xiaomeng's current personality isn't very pleasing to the eyes. You have to take charge of her, otherwise, if you really can't find her in-laws, then it'll be too late to regret it."
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle. I will definitely recruit a son-in-law for my dad in the future." Tian Xiaomeng replied sweetly.
Who said she was going to get married?
The ancient days had not even begun, yet he already said that he was going to marry someone. That was out of the question.
Tian Youzhu shook his head and sighed in his heart, "Look, look. Third Brother is the best. Right now, this girl doesn't even have a girl's looks. She even dares to openly say that to others. Aren't she afraid of people making fun of her?"
With a heavy heart, he returned to the village.
Once Mrs. Lee and the others left, the villagers, whose Lower Tian Village s had come to watch the show, also dispersed.
Only Tian Xiaomeng and Tian Fa were left in the room.
Tian Youfeng had an expression on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Tian Xiaomeng took out the 10 taels of silver from her hands and split it into two.
One pull was three taels of silver while one pull was seven.
"Dad, take these three liang of silver. I will bring you to the county city tomorrow."
"Mengmeng, there's no need. There's no need. You can have them. Dad doesn't need any money."
"Dad, are you blaming me?" Tian Xiaomeng looked at Tian Youfeng's expression.
"No, Father is blaming himself for being useless. He wanted you and your mother to suffer with me." If it wasn't for the fact that he was useless, Xiaomeng wouldn't have been so unspeakable now.
Tian Xiaomeng's hands paused for a moment before she replied, "Father, we still have hands and feet. I don't think so. I believe our lives won't be as bitter as they are now."
Even though the ancient people were conservative and feudal, it didn't mean that they didn't have any money to earn.
