Although she didn't know what secret they were hiding, she could tell that her father was very likely not a member of the Liu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keeping a bowl of water level\"—they really dared to say that. If she hadn't heard these words, she would have only thought that her grandparents were so cold-blooded because her parents didn't have a son. So the root cause was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, as soon as the sky turned bright, Liu Mu returned to the village. Regardless of whether they could divide the family, she had to risk it all for her husband's leg. Seeing Old Man Liu in the courtyard, she said, \"Father, I beg you to show mercy and agree to send Shanliang to the city hospital to treat his leg. It really cannot be dragged on any longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scene had already been made the previous evening, and the matter had long since been spread by the neighbors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as there was movement here, the villagers gathered around. Someone who didn't know the situation asked in a low voice, \"What's going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just the Liu family not acting like humans. The commune health center can't treat the second Liu son's leg and told them to go to a higher-level hospital, but the Liu family isn't willing to pay for the treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, isn't the Liu family usually quite united? Besides, didn't the second Liu son get injured at the reservoir construction site? Can the public sector just ignore it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he wasn't injured during work hours, so the reservoir side only takes half the responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second daughter-in-law of the Liu family came back once yesterday at dusk, and they almost had a falling out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second Liu son is more honest than the eldest and the third, so why won't the Liu family pay for his treatment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard the Liu family pulled some strings to get a quota for the eldest branch's Dongzi to go to the city and become a worker. If they pay to treat the second Liu son's leg, that job will be gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's too unfair to the second Liu son. The money at home wasn't earned by Dongzi, so why should the second Liu son sacrifice himself to fulfill his nephew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just because the second branch has no sons and has no say at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, people outside were saying all sorts of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the courtyard surrounded by people, Old Man Liu felt his head throbbing with anger: \"Second branch's wife, is there anything that can't be said behind closed doors? Why must you make such a scene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mu had risked it all: \"Father, I would like to talk properly, but look at what you have done. If my husband's leg isn't transferred to another hospital for treatment, it will be ruined. How can I not be anxious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Woman Liu walked over with a dark face: \"Why don't you listen to reason? The doctor already said that even if the second son goes to a big city hospital, it won't heal completely. Can't you consider the family more? Must you throw money into the water before you give up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, I am not forcing you. The doctor said there might be hope at the city hospital. Why won't you agree? Has my husband contributed little to this family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ge Xiulan broke free from her husband's restraint and rushed forward a few steps: \"Zhao Lamei, are you finished yet? Didn't I tell you yesterday that the money concerns my Dongzi's future? The second son's leg won't heal anyway, so why can't you yield to your nephew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mu didn't care what she said. In front of so many people, she stared at her father-in-law: \"Father, I will ask you one last time: will the family take care of my husband's leg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Liu's face was as black as ink: \"Second branch's wife, it's not that we don't want to take care of it, it's that we truly don't have the ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mu wiped away her tears and stood up: \"Since you won't take care of it, I will find a way myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Liu wanted to call her back, but seeing the people outside pointing fingers at him, he opened his mouth but made no sound. Thinking of how much face he had lost today, he flicked his sleeves in anger and returned to the house. ===== CHAPTER 18 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",783,"2026-06-12T06:53:31.998Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","99cd4a14e8f26c0a17b697907f5cd5a871087ccdf79474cdcc82ea89356591c6","1970s-the-fiery-military-wife-takes-the-family-t-chapter-18","1970s-the-fiery-military-wife-takes-the-family-t-chapter-16",1848,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1970s-the-fiery-military-wife-takes-the-family-t-cover.jpg"]
