76. Chapter 76: Why Not Divorce

Zhao Dasao was asked, and subconsciously touched her chest, only feeling a stabbing pain. She couldn't move at all while lying on the bed.

Chunya on the side hurriedly replied: "Mother's left chest is swollen high, and it's all blood underneath..."

"Sigh..." Doctor Zhou sighed for a long time and didn't say anything, just opened the medicine box, "It should be an injury to the bone. I will prescribe a medicine formula for you first. You take it first. It's not easy for the bone to heal after being injured. Rest well recently and don't move."

"Injured, injured the bone?" Zhao Dasao's face instantly lost all color, "Then what should I do? I'm like this, how can I still work? I, I still have two daughters to support. Please, Doctor Zhou, what can I do to get better quickly..."

She panicked all of a sudden, but she didn't care about the medicine money anymore.

Doctor Zhou sighed: "There is no way to get better quickly, you can only raise it slowly, and you can't do heavy work."

He quickly wrote the prescription. Jiang Xiaoxiao took out half a tael of silver from the bag at her waist and handed it directly to Chunmiao, "You go and get the medicine with Doctor Zhou."

Chunmiao seemed to be holding so much silver for the first time, and was a little flustered for a moment, hurriedly saying: "Xiaoxiao sister, you, why do you carry so much silver on you? If you use it all on me, will your mother..."

"Don't worry, she won't. This is the pocket money my mother gave me." Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile, comforting her to hurry and get the medicine with Doctor Zhou, so as not to delay the time.

Chunmiao was half-believing, but finally followed Doctor Zhou to get the medicine.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile helplessly in her heart. This half tael of silver was indeed the pocket money her mother gave her casually. She didn't want it at the time, thinking it was heavy in her waist bag. She didn't expect it to really come in handy this time.

Chunmiao soon returned with the medicine. She skillfully lit a fire in the kitchen to boil the medicine. Before long, she walked into the room with a bowl of thick medicine juice.

Zhao Dasao carefully held the medicine bowl with both hands and drank it in one breath, even swallowing the medicine dregs at the bottom of the bowl.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you so much..." Zhao Dasao held the medicine bowl and said, "Tomorrow I will let Chunmiao go to your house to work. If you have anything to do, just call her, don't be polite."

Chunmiao also took out three hundred wen from her arms and said with a face full of guilt: "Xiaoxiao sister, this is the money left after seeing the doctor and buying medicine. Take it back. Give me some time for the remaining two hundred wen, and I will definitely find a way to pay you back."

"Good." Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't refuse this time and took the three hundred copper coins and put them into her waist bag.

She knew that if she didn't accept it, Zhao Dasao and Chunmiao would definitely feel even more guilty.

Moreover, unconditional giving and gifting is not a good thing for them, but will bring trouble to them.

However, appropriate help in times of need can often bring people warmth that they will never forget for a lifetime.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, took out the honey cakes and sugar hammers from her waist bag, and handed them to the two sisters, saying before they could hurriedly wave their hands to refuse: "There are so many copper coins that my bag is almost unable to hold them. You take these candies and honey cakes to eat, and I can also reduce some weight."

"Xiaoxiao sister, you are so kind..." Chunya shed tears of emotion. She hadn't eaten candy for a long time. In the past, her mother bought it back from town, but it was all snatched away by Ergou brother, and she and Sister Chunmiao didn't get to eat a single bite.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but find it funny. This Chunya is still a little crybaby, dropping golden beans at every turn.

The two sisters took the things handed over by Jiang Xiaoxiao and hurriedly ate them, not forgetting to feed some to their mother.

After comforting the two sisters, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw that it was getting late, so she prepared to go home.

Out of the courtyard of Zhao Dasao's house, the little tiger, which she had ordered to wait outside the courtyard, happily pounced on her, rubbing against her trouser legs and calling "Awoo."

"You are very obedient this time." Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and picked it up.

Because she was afraid of scaring Zhao Dasao and the others when entering the courtyard, she let the little tiger wait outside.

She didn't expect that after such a long time, it was still waiting alone outside, not running into the courtyard because it was impatient, nor leaving privately.

"Awoo~"

The little tiger let out a soft cry, stretched out its tongue to lick her hand, and looked up at her with its tiger face, its pair of beastly pupils slightly narrowed as if smiling, in a fawning manner.

Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that this appearance was wanting to ask her for water, so she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, fed it some water, and then hugged it and walked toward home.

When she arrived home, the sky had gradually darkened.

But the kitchen was bright with firelight.

Jiang Xiaoxiao put down the little tiger and walked into the kitchen, seeing her mother and Qiulian Niang still busy.

Jiang Wei stole a moment of leisure in her busy schedule, looked up at her and said: "Why did you come back just now?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao told about Zhao Dasao.

"Sigh, what a sin..." Qiulian Niang sighed, "For such a man, Zhao Dasao is really miserable enough. It's bitter enough for her, and she even implicated the children to suffer together."

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned and asked in confusion: "It's already like this, why doesn't Auntie Zhao let Zhao Wulai divorce her?"

She knew that divorce was very difficult for women in this era, but divorce by the husband was effortless. Zhao Dasao was so miserable, she could completely do some things that violated the three obediences and four virtues in ancient times, and let Zhao Wulai divorce her.

"Xiaoxiao, you are so young, why do you still know about divorce?" Qiulian Niang asked instead, looking up at her in confusion.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "……"

Alright, she is five years old now.

The next second, Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately changed into an innocent face and said in a soft, sweet voice: "I went to town to sell snow cakes with Mother a few days ago and heard two old women say it. The daughter-in-law in their own family didn't listen, violated some virtues, and wanted the son to divorce her."

Qiulian Niang looked at Jiang Wei helplessly: "What kind of people are buying your snow cakes? How can such words be said in front of children? Xiaoxiao is only five years old, and she is going to be taught badly."

"……" Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao silently, "I actually think it's better to hear more of such words, so as not to be cheated by others when she grows up and still help them count money."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "……"

Cheated by others?

Just kidding, she is not really a child...

"You..." Qiulian Niang shook her head with a smile, and then brought the topic back, "Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, if Zhao Dasao is divorced by Zhao Wulai, she will never be able to lift her head in the village for the rest of her life, and her children will be separated from her forever."

Is it that serious?!

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then looked at her mother for verification.

Jiang Wei glanced at her and said calmly: "Otherwise, why do you think I would rather divide the family and break the kinship with the old Li family than let the old Li family divorce me?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "……Alright."

It was she who thought too simply.

It seems that the consequences of a woman being divorced in this era are far more serious than she imagined. ===== CHAPTER 77 =====
