Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Zhongxiao almost died of anger at Chai Xiu, but he still couldn't scold Chai Xiu.

Who could scold a seven-year-old child crying her heart out because her grandmother was dying?

Chai Xiu cried so heartbrokenly that thinking of the pocket money she had secretly saved for years, only for Chai Mi to embezzle it, and having nowhere to seek justice, she suddenly felt the sky of her whole world had turned black.

"Grandpa... why did my grandma just die..."

Chai Zhongxiao said helplessly: "Xiu'er, stop crying. Your grandma just fainted..."

"But my Third Uncle said my grandma won't make it... If my grandma won't make it, does she have to be carried to the back mountain and buried today? Then Grandpa, I want to shovel the first spade of earth for my grandma..."

Chai Zhongxiao frowned: Xiu'er, you are truly too filial!!!

Chai Mi rolled her eyes at Chai Xiu: "Stop talking nonsense. Doesn't she still need to be cremated? Otherwise, our grandma is so heavy, who could carry her?"

Chai Xiu made an acknowledging sound.

Chai Zhongxiao looked at Chai Mi with a sideways glance: "Early this morning you made Chai Xiu wail at the funeral; even if your grandma doesn't die, you'll make her die of anger."

"Can that be blamed on me? My Third Uncle said my grandma is done for. My Third Uncle's wailing is even more eerie than my little sister's, but I don't see you scolding him." Chai Mi immediately retorted.

Chai Zhongxiao was left speechless by the retort, leaving behind one sentence: Stop crying, your grandma won't die.

Then he went into the house.

After a while, Chai Mi saw the only doctor in the village, Chen Shuyi, arrive.

Chen Shuyi was a cripple; his family was impoverished when he was young, he contracted polio, and his leg became lame. From then on, he resolved to become a doctor.

Later he actually got into a medical school, and after graduating, he came to the village to be a barefoot doctor.

His main work was actually giving vaccines to the schoolchildren. In this era, vaccines were mostly given after starting school, unlike later generations with strict age limits.

So this barefoot doctor of his had a certain scope of work. The villagers all knew him. However, he was not a local; he was from another village, just having a house similar to a shopfront in Sanjiacun, usually selling some medicines, and occasionally giving people IV drips and such.

By now Chen Shuyi was over forty years old, and had been mixing around Sanjiacun for over twenty years; when he arrived, everyone felt reassured.

Anyway, no one else knew how to treat illness, only he, Chen Shuyi, understood a bit or two; if he couldn't cure her, then Wang Huirong would basically be waiting to die.

Of course, if Wang Huirong had money to go to the hospital, that would be another matter.

Chen Shuyi entered the east room of the old house, and then a crowd of miscellaneous people were asked to come out.

Including Chai Youqing and Chai Youfu...

Chai Youqing was honest and simple; after coming out, he didn't say anything.

But everyone understood Chai Youfu somewhat; after coming out, he started taking cigarettes from Chai Youqing's pocket to hand out to everyone, indicating: everyone has worked hard coming over.

Chai Youfu was well-practiced in the act of offering flowers to Buddha. However, soon everyone felt there didn't seem to be anything major, and they said their goodbyes one after another.

After all, the Old Chai Family had so many things going on; everyone was tired of watching the excitement.

A few old women at the door were still complaining: "I'm just saying she won't die; if she doesn't die, what's there to see?"

"That's right? I was still thinking the Old Chai Family had courted death again... I even brought scissors, planning to help cut mourning cloth..."

"Disperse, disperse. We won't get to eat the feast today..."

The crowd dispersed in a rush.

Only a few elders of the Chai family remained.

This time even Village Chief Liu Changgui took a few looks, then nodded at Chai Mi from afar, then slipped away. As for Song Qingshan, he simply didn't come.

Actually, the Chai family old house was almost like the wolf coming in the book; every day nothing but trouble, no one liked to come anymore.

These few elders of the Chai family also had to come.

However, these few elders were also absent-minded, chatting with one sentence and no next.

As mentioned before, Chai Zhongxiao's real brothers were very few; of his generation, the eldest went Crossing the Pass, the second was long gone, the third and fifth died in the war-torn era, the fourth was half-paralyzed, the sixth was not his biological son, but an adopted one, namely Lao Liutou...

Chai Zhongxiao was Old Seven.

So theoretically, not one of Chai Zhongxiao's real brothers was capable.

Only one brother who was not a real brother remained, Lao Liutou.

This was also why, last time at Chai Mi's house, Lao Liutou could wave his hand and curse everywhere.

Chai Youfu held a pack of cigarettes, ran to Lao Liutou's side, and respectfully lit a cigarette for Lao Liutou, then said with a smile: "Sixth Master, my mom has nothing wrong. Just now Xiao Chen said she wouldn't die..."

Lao Liutou gave Chai Youfu a sideways glance: "You fucking speak without thinking; your mom won't die means nothing wrong? Is this fucking something a person says?"

"Sixth Master, this matter... even if there is a matter, it has nothing to do with me. It was my dad who pushed my mom; if you want to teach a lesson, you should teach my dad..."

Old... your dad... I'm too lazy to talk about him. What ability does he have, just two moves at beating his wife. I'm over seventy and I still work. Your dad is under sixty, and just pretends to be an old man. He doesn't consider his children at all, pretending to be a big shot all day. As a result, he owes a mountain of debt. Your grandpa died early, otherwise he would have been angered to death sooner or later."

Lao Liutou said he was too lazy to talk about Chai Zhongxiao, but as soon as he opened his mouth he started spraying: "Just your grandpa, when he left, he still missed your dad, holding my hand and not letting go. Your grandpa said at the time: I'm most fucking worried about Chai Zhongxiao, he has a big temper but small ability, I won't be able to close my eyes even in death... As a result, your grandpa died with his eyes open back then. But I said at the time, your grandpa was redundant; just your dad, with money he doesn't know his own surname, his nose is higher than his eyes, without money he just droops his head and doesn't leave the house. He usually pretends to be bold, but when things happen he pretends to be a grandson... just a fucking stupid cunt..."

Chai Youfu's face was awkward:...

Then Chai Youfu quickly changed the subject: "Chai Mi, go in and see your grandma... you've been here for a long time."

Chai Mi lowered her head and cursed in a low voice: "Chai Youfu just fucking looks for trouble. Why don't you go in yourself?"

Chai Mi knew clearly in her heart that now Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong didn't look at Chai Mi with any favor; if it weren't for the crowd, Chai Zhongxiao would have started cursing directly when he saw Chai Mi just now...

Chai Mi wasn't stupid enough to look for trouble.

These few at the old house could hardly live well; I'll just be more magnanimous and not always kick people when they're down.

After all, without Chai Mi kicking them when they're down, Chai Zhongxiao would soon be caught and put in the pen.

Owing fucking several ten thousand in debt, can my Chai Zhongxiao run away?

You can dodge the first but not the fifteenth.

"Liu Yeye, you haven't been seen these past two days, and your complexion is even fresher than the first two days. What's up? Any happy event?" Chai Mi exchanged pleasantries with Lao Liutou.

"Heh... when a person encounters a happy event, their spirit is refreshed. Your Liu Grandmother's eyes — wasn't it thought earlier that both eyes were blind? These past two days, one got better, so only one is blind now, the other can see..."

Chai Mi gasped: Theoretically speaking, this is a good thing, but in reality it's not so good...

Lao Liutou's wife had glaucoma when she was young, and later developed cataracts. Her eyes had double vision; blind wasn't quite the word, but she just couldn't see well.

Lao... passed the assessment, and just like that, by a fluke, stayed on. That regiment commander even introduced a partner for your eldest brother, a city person..."

"Wow... that's a good thing. No wonder your complexion has improved so much." Chai Mi smiled and flattered: "This is still thanks to Liu Yeye's proper guidance. If it were my Lao Taye, it definitely wouldn't work. Look at my Lao Taye's several sons — not a single one amounts to anything. My father studied until second year of junior high, and my Lao Taye said oh no money, stop studying, and my father actually listened and stopped. My Second Uncle too, reached third year of junior high, didn't pass the high school entrance exam, and my Lao Taye drove him to become a teacher. My Third Uncle is even more bizarre, dropped out in sophomore year of high school... compared to you, my Lao Taye is this..."

Chai Mi stuck out her thumb, then flipped it over.

"Don't mention him, I can't be bothered to look at him." Lao Liutou said with righteous indignation: "I'll say your Lao Taye also has issues, already nearly fifty years old and had your grandfather. Back then your Tai Grandmother was forty-eight or forty-nine... everyone said at the time, this is a late-in-life son, that child's intelligence is definitely affected. Your Lao Taye didn't believe it, insisted on keeping your grandfather. Result: what's the difference between your grandfather and a stupid cunt?"

Lao Liutou looked at Chai Mi, then said word by word: "Not a single bit of difference. Your grandfather, is a stupid cunt."

Chai Mi was laughing uncontrollably inside, but didn't dare show it on her face.

Looks like, chatting more with Lao Liutou in the future will instantly improve one's mood.

Cursed at people Chai Mi didn't dare curse at.

Satisfying!!!

"Your Grandmother isn't a good plaything either. Back then all of us big fellows said, your Grandmother is a landlord family's eldest daughter. Although there were no landlords by that time, we all felt that your Grandmother was definitely an arrogant plaything. I firmly opposed it at the time, but your grandfather was just a stupid cunt, insisting this skinny camel is bigger than a horse, your Grandmother definitely has money. He just climbed the high branch... his whole life, from childhood he climbed high branches. Result: your Grandmother can't do anything, and her identity isn't too good either, her mother's family is even poorer than our Old Chai Family. If not for your Lao Taye's favoritism, helping out a bit, your grandfather would have starved to death long ago. His whole life, the first half gnawing on your Lao Taye, the second half gnawing on your father and mother. Just gnawing like this, and still hauling famine."

Lao Liutou grew more agitated as he spoke: "Chai Mi, let me tell you. In the future, even if you have money, don't give a single cent to your grandfather and grandmother. If they ask, just say I said so. These two playthings should have entered the prison long ago. Not a single good thing... just say this time your Grandmother, I just went in and looked, she just muddled past. Look at your grandfather's performance, saying Grandmother can't make it, then saying sons are unfilial, all day using death to scare people!"

"If he has the ability, let him die one for me to see? Blowing fucking bullshit, just your grandfather, still pretending to be a big shot. I just told him: Chai Zhongxiao, you just court death. When the day comes that people catch you and put you in prison, you'll know fear. How can you be so fucking awesome? You owe that much famine? He said he's not afraid... heh, just wait and see when people come to arrest him, he'll be so scared he'll piss his pants."

Chai Mi was struck dumb, thinking: still you, Lao Liutou, your words are just pleasant to hear.

Chai Mi again simply and Lao.

Che Lianyun, upon hearing this, knew Chai Mi was purely finding fault... her face immediately darkened, and she cursed: "Chai Mi, don't spout blood, grow a mouth and babble. How would I know your Grandmother would fail... this has nothing to do with me."

"Then maybe it was you who gave the Old Tai Tai poison... if my Grandmother dies, my father and his brothers won't let you off."

"You fucking fart!" Che Lianyun jumped up high, so angry she stomped her feet: "This is purely framing a good person."

"Look! You're getting anxious!" Chai Mi smiled: "If it wasn't your poison, why are you anxious? One look and it's clear you have no good intentions. Second Uncle, look at my Third Aunt's behavior... this was definitely done by her. If my Grandmother has any mishap, she can't escape responsibility."

Chai Youfu also nodded.

Anyway, pinning the shit basin on someone — anyone works, just don't pin it on your own head.

Otherwise, who pays for the Old Tai Tai's medical treatment?!

Since Chai Mi pinned the shit basin on Che Lianyun's head, Chai Youfu didn't mind directly nodding in agreement.

"You two families have colluded to bully me..." Che Lianyun flew into a rage: "The Old Tai Tai knocked herself, what's it got to do with me."

"Anyway, the Old Tai Tai wasn't injured at my house, I don't care." Chai Mi said decisively: "Whoever's house she was injured at, that person pays for treatment."

Chai Youfu also agreed.

Che Lianyun was furious, but couldn't withstand that Chai Mi's words had a bit of reason, so she let Lao Liutou decide.

Lao Liutou didn't care about this. Although he had the heart to favor Chai Mi, he also felt Chai Mi was deliberately finding fault, and didn't want fighting outside while treating inside, so he split the difference fifty-fifty, letting several people all stay put quietly.

Wait until the Old Tai Tai wakes up, then speak.

Che Lianyun coldly glared at Chai Mi.

Chai Mi then coldly glared back.

"Xiao Doubao, you want to fight? What are you glaring at me for?" Chai Mi said in an unfriendly tone: "Glaring blindly is useless, you won't grow taller..."

Che Lianyun gnashed her teeth in anger, fire attacking the heart, directly clutching her chest and squatting down.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly helped Che Lianyun into the room.
