After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 166, Episode 0173: The End of the Scene
“In our village, the old houses have always been left to the eldest son. This house should never have belonged to them.”

"You're talking nonsense! The house in our village is left to the eldest son so that he'll be responsible for taking care of the elderly. Don't you know that you and your older brother supported our parents? How can you say something like that without any shame?"

Grandma Sun was clearly Grandma Hua's nemesis; she silenced Grandma Hua with just a few words.

Why does Granny Sun have such power?

It turns out that when their family divided their property, Old Lady Hua refused to support the elderly couple in their old age, arguing that Li Dazhu was not her biological son.

Li Erzhu isn't very bright, so he definitely can't take care of the two elderly people in their old age.

Li Sanzhu and Grandma Sun have always been responsible for the elderly couple's care, taking care of their food, drink, toileting, and sleep, as well as their illnesses and ensuring they have a dignified funeral.

Therefore, Aunt Sun was very confident in front of Old Lady Hua, because she, as a daughter-in-law, did everything she could.

Lin Yuexi glanced at the little dog Egg, who was peeking out from the corner, and her lips twitched.

It turns out that this little guy was the one who summoned the great deity, Granny Sun.

Little Dog Egg noticed Lin Yuexi looking at him, timidly shrank his head, and mischievously stuck out his tongue.

Grandma Hua fell silent, but Aunt Sun became more and more enthusiastic in her scolding, until Li Wugen, who was supporting Grandma Hua, blushed with shame and shrank his neck.

The captain had somehow walked up to Luo Hui and asked in a low voice, "How's Sha Ni? Are you willing to accept the compensation I offered?"

Luo Hui understood what he meant. This was a reminder that the two families should resolve their issues today, and not accept them with dissatisfaction, only to cause trouble later.

He nodded, his face bitter, and said, "My wife has had a miscarriage. Yu Zhiqing and the others helped take her to the clinic, but I don't know the details of her condition yet."

The captain patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more.

Luo Hui couldn't figure out what the captain meant, but he didn't dare to say anything more at this point, lest he overdo it.

Over there, Aunt Sun had already reached out her hand to Old Lady Hua, saying, "Give me the money."

"Give me money? Why should I give you money?" Old Mrs. Hua glared at her warily.

Aunt Sun glanced disdainfully at her hand tightly gripping the right hem of her dress. "Don't beat around the bush with me. It's not for me, it's for Nizi and the others. Don't tell me you're not going home to get it now. I know you don't trust anyone. You always keep your money close to your body."

Out of consideration for her sister-in-law's feelings, Aunt Sun deliberately lowered her voice for the rest of her words, so that only Li Wugen, who was standing next to her, could hear them.

Li Wugen was so shocked that his eyes widened like a startled ox.

No wonder Fourth Brother sneaked into Mother's room several times, and always came out with a sour face.

Grandma Hua looked miserable and was very reluctant to take out the money. In the end, under Grandma Sun's threatening gaze, she turned to the side and took the money out of her inner pocket.

The situation is not in her favor today. Not only do the educated youth say she has committed a crime, but the brigade leader is also on the side of those two scoundrels.

She wasn't afraid of the educated youth, but she was afraid of the brigade leader.

If you want it, you can have it; it's not like you can't get it back.

It's good that the money was given in front of everyone now, but from now on, no one can bring up money again.

She would wait until nightfall when no one was around to come and make those two bastards return the money.

She refused to believe that the two of them would dare not give it to her!

Despite her thoughts, Grandma Hua still found it difficult to take the money out of her pocket; it was almost like taking her life.

Trembling, he finally managed to count to around one hundred. Not satisfied, he counted again, then a third time…
Grandma Sun couldn't wait any longer, so she stepped forward and snatched the item away. She was equally worried and kept counting while scolding her, "You can't even count from one to ten properly."

After saying that, he turned around and took the money to Luo Hui.

Old Mrs. Hua suppressed the urge to snatch it back, gritting her teeth as she stared intently at the other side. After Luo Hui received the money, she said to the captain, "Captain, I've given you the money. Don't forget to clear that account when you get back."

The captain nodded seriously, thinking to himself: I just made up a lie, where am I going to get the account to settle this?

When it comes to money, Old Lady Hua doesn't trust anyone, not even the brigade leader.

But now she gave the money to those two bastards in front of almost the entire village, so she wasn't afraid they wouldn't acknowledge it.

Grandma Hua whispered something to Li Wugen, and Li Wugen's face darkened slightly. He then took a rather forceful stance and half-dragged, half-supported Grandma Hua away.

With one party involved having left, there was nothing more to see. What remained was Luo Hui's own business, and the villagers, knowing better than to linger and cause any more trouble, dispersed one by one.

The captain was the last to leave, but he made sure to leave Luo Hui with a few words before he left.

He said, "If you marry a girl from our village, you'll be one of our own. As long as you treat her well and don't do anything to betray her, our village will be your support."

"Uncle Erzhu and his daughter have had a tough time these past few years. Although the villagers don't bully them, they still feel a bit lacking."

"Fortunately, you'll be there to support us from now on. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell your uncle."

Luo Hui was so moved that his eyes reddened, and he nodded solemnly, promising, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Dad and my wife. Wherever I go, I will take them with me."

That was exactly what the captain wanted to hear. Although he didn't know if the captain could live up to it in the future, he was gratified at that moment.

After everyone left, the remaining educated youth helped tidy up the house.

The brawl turned the yard into a complete mess.

Qian Duoduo and Li Laidi went to the main room to pick up the tables and chairs that had fallen to the ground, and Lin Yuexi and Ren Yan also came in to help.

Qian Duoduo: "Why do I feel like something's not quite right?"

Li Laidi glared at her irritably, "What? You think the team can really do anything to Old Lady Wang?"

How can you still be so naive after being sent to the countryside for so long?
Qian Duoduo slapped her thigh in anger, "She bullies Luo Hui and his wife every few days, and today she even pushed my sister-in-law. Is it really okay to just pay back the money she owed before?"

The brigade leader is being so unfair; it's obvious he's favoring the villagers.

Ren Yan also felt somewhat disappointed, "That's right, they weren't punished at all, even though they had to carry manure for half a month."

Lin Yuexi and Li Laidi exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Li Laidi glanced outside and, after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, whispered, "I heard that Grandma Hua is extremely stingy. Her grandson broke his head and had a hole, but she wouldn't spend money to take him to the clinic."

Grandma Hua was notorious in the village for being stingy. Others might be frugal because their families were poor, but they would at least take out money when they needed it. She, on the other hand, was truly a spendthrift.

Before the Lunar New Year, Li Dagen's youngest son accidentally fell and hit his head on the stone steps, resulting in a cut about the length of his little finger.

Da Gen's wife begged Grandma Hua to give her money to take the child to the clinic, but Grandma Hua refused to give it to her, cursing and swearing as she shoved a handful of soot from the bottom of a pot onto the child's wound.

While folk remedies can be effective, they don't stop bleeding quickly, and using soot from the bottom of a pot to stop bleeding can leave unsightly scars on the wound.

A few days ago, Li Laidi saw that child, who had a raised, ugly gray-black scar on his forehead.

“A person who is so stingy even with her own grandson, the brigade leader made her take out 100 yuan. This hurt her more than any punishment.”

Qian Duoduo thought about it and agreed, but she still felt a little aggrieved.

Li Laidi understood her feelings; she was also feeling uneasy.

But what can be done?
