Chapter 198 The Big Joke in the Village
Fortunately, there was a first-aid kit at home, so Su Xiaoxiao first used a bandage to bandage Da Bao and stop the bleeding.

Su Xiaoxiao had a hemostatic powder in her first-aid kit. She carefully took out the powder and sprinkled it on Da Bao's wound. Seeing how small Da Bao was and how long the cut on his forehead was, Su Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken.

Da Bao was still drowsy and looked to be in very bad condition.

Pei Yuan said, "I'll go prepare the carriage; we still need to hurry and send it to Ci'an Hall in town."

As Pei Yuan spoke, he quickly squatted down and carefully supported Da Bao with both hands, afraid that Da Bao's forehead would bump into his back.

Su Xiaoxiao helped from behind, carrying Da Bao onto the carriage together. After telling Old Man Liu, Su Xiaoxiao was worried about Xiao Bao, so she took Xiao Bao with her as well. They rode together in the carriage towards Ci'an Hall.

Although it was dark, when they arrived at Ci'an Hall, the Medicine Boy still received them and led them inside.

"Mr. Li, please help us check on our child, he has a cut on his forehead."

"Put the child down first, then we'll talk."

After helping Da Bao off Pei Yuan's back, Mr. Li helped him lie down on the couch.

Mr. Li carefully bandaged Da Bao's wound to stop the bleeding and applied medicine, taking great care of Da Bao's young age. After giving Da Bao the oral medication, he said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Don't worry, the child is fine. This pill will help stop the bleeding and also has an anti-inflammatory effect."

Mr. Li asked Su Xiaoxiao, "What happened to the child? How could you be so careless?"

Su Xiaoxiao replied, "It was his grandmother who hit him."

Although Mr. Li didn't know what had happened in Su Xiaoxiao's family, he was also very angry. "How could there be such an inhuman grandmother? Boss Su, you must handle this matter properly. You can't let Da Bao get hurt for nothing."

Pei Yuan wanted to help Da Bao and Granny Liu get justice again, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"I'll handle this. I have my own way of doing it."

Mr. Li also said indignantly to Su Xiaoxiao, "Boss Su, if you need any help, just tell me, and I'll stand up for you."

Su Xiaoxiao knew that if she wanted to teach Granny Liu a lesson, she needed to find an opportunity this time.

A fierce glint flashed in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes. Thinking about how she, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao had been subjected to this old woman's indirect oppression, she felt extremely resentful.

But how do we find this opportunity?

Unexpectedly, he actually came. Liu Dazhuang had accumulated a huge gambling debt at the gambling den, and the debtor came directly to Liu's mother-in-law's house. At that time, only Li Dongmei was at home.

She was so frightened that she felt like her soul was about to leave her body. She rushed to Granny Liu's house in a panic, only to find that Granny Liu was not home. Now the debt collectors said, "If you don't pay back the money, we'll send you to a brothel to sell yourself."

Even if Li Dongmei wanted to deny it, she was still Liu Dazhuang's wife, a fact that could never be denied.

Li Dongmei knew how ruthless those people were, so she quickly went to find Granny Liu.

"Mother, give me the money quickly, it's fifty taels in total, it's what Liu Dazhuang owed at the gambling den."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu jumped up in anger. "Fifty taels of silver? Do you think it's five hundred coins? That's so much! My life isn't even worth fifty taels of silver! Are you trying to kill me?" Li Dongmei continued to kneel before her, crying, "Mother, you can't do this! This is money your son owes. Do you think I want to pay it back? If I don't, they'll sell me to a brothel!"

Grandma Liu was furious; she was so angry she almost fainted.

"Look at this, is my life worth it? That's fifty taels of silver, I've never seen so much money in my entire life..."

The villagers who had gathered around were watching the commotion, and they were all talking about it, saying that Old Mrs. Liu was really too inhuman.
Not only did she not help her son with the money he owed, but she also completely absolved herself of any responsibility. Now that things have escalated to this point, with her own daughter-in-law threatening to kill herself, she still speaks like this.

"Mother, if you don't take care of me, I'll just smash my head against the wall and die."

As a result, everyone saw this old woman standing by coldly, without any intention of stepping forward to stop it.

Li Dongmei was obviously just trying to scare Granny Liu. She stopped abruptly just as Granny Liu was about to crash into the wall.

Seeing that Granny Liu showed no intention of stopping her, she burst into tears.

"What? Mother, are you really willing to watch me die? Can you bear it?"

Grandma Liu turned away without saying a word, not even wanting to acknowledge Li Dongmei.

Originally, Li Dongmei shouldn't have had to take responsibility for this, but she was, after all, a woman, and her word didn't count. These thugs were capable of anything.

She had no other choice. Should she go and divorce Liu Dazhuang now? What about the children? Even if they divorced, she would still have to help pay off the debt.

The crowd watched from the sidelines, observing the farce but unsure whether they should intervene to stop it.

The story of Lao Liu's family quickly spread throughout Baihua Village, becoming a big joke in the village.

It became the subject of everyone's laughter during their leisure time. "Actually, the Liu family has had enough of a life. Look at Su Xiaoxiao, she's been living so well since she was separated from the family!"

"Yes, unlike the Liu family, they're in such a terrible state. Now they hide from everyone and don't dare to go out."

Everyone spoke with sarcasm when they mentioned the Liu family, and Su Xiaoxiao immediately felt very pleased after hearing about it.

"You used to always put on airs in front of us, but now you've shown your weakness, haven't you?"

“I think Grandma Liu deserves it. She used to praise her eldest son for being so capable, but now we know that he is a gambler who not only went to jail but also owes so much gambling debt.”

"Yes, it's fortunate that Su Xiaoxiao has separated from them now, otherwise, I really don't know how badly she would have been dragged down."

"It turns out that it wasn't Su Xiaoxiao who brought bad luck to their son; I think it's clearly this Granny Liu who has the problem. She's the one who brings bad luck to her son. Otherwise, how could such a thing have happened?"

"Yes, their family has problems every few days, and I think it's all because of Granny Liu."

However, some people sided with Granny Liu, feeling that Su Xiaoxiao had earned a lot of money after the family division, so they were very jealous and their words sounded a bit sour.
