Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 44

"Dad, Mom accidentally fell down the stairs," Zhao Chunqin replied hesitantly.

Zhao Tingxu tapped his pipe and glanced at Zhao Chunqin: "Then why didn't you take your mother to the hospital?"

“I took him to the hospital, but the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong at the time. It wasn’t until I got home that they discovered it was a fracture,” Zhao Chunqin said.

Zhao Tingxu thought for a moment and said, "I don't care. Your mother broke her leg and needs treatment. Even if we don't have money, she still needs treatment. Otherwise, she'll be a cripple. If people see how poor our family is, and your mother is a cripple, what will happen to my two grandsons when they get married?"

“I don’t have much money left. You siblings can chip in and take your mother to the hospital. Each of you can contribute a little, like a thousand yuan each.”

“I will definitely pay for my share,” Zhao Chunqin said immediately.

Zhao Tiegang also said that he would not be shortchanged.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tiesheng said, "I still have about four thousand catties of sorghum. Let's sell it to help our mother raise some money."

Zhao Tingxu nodded: "Your sister-in-law won't come, and your second sister wants to sever our father-daughter relationship, so she won't come either. Your eldest sister will come back another day. A hospital stay will cost at least several thousand yuan. If it doesn't work, I'll sell that cow to raise money for your mother's medical expenses."

"Wait a minute." A voice suddenly came from outside. Then Zhao Da'e slowly walked in: "Grandpa, that cow was raised by my mom and me by cutting grass, and it's almost ready to give birth to calves. When we bought that cow, my mom used the dowry money. My dad said that since he paid for it by selling sorghum, it was already considered part of the deal."

Grandpa, you said that cow was bought with my mother's dowry money; it belonged to our family. How did it somehow become your cow?

When Wang Guixiang saw that it was Zhao Dage, she scolded, "The bride price was also given by our Zhao family. Besides, your grandfather and I feed the cattle every day, so the cattle are ours."

“I know my grandpa feeds the cows. But Grandma, you don’t even touch the grass, how do you feed the cows?” Zhao Da’e retorted sharply.

"Didn't your grandfather feed the cows? At least half of those cows belong to the two of us old folks."

"No way. Grandma, if you say that, then you've already paid off my uncle's debt for his wedding, and my parents helped pay it off by farming. My third uncle also paid off his debt for his wedding, and my parents helped pay it off too. Back then, you said this cow was good, and you sold four calves, all of which paid off your debts. You raised it for four or five years for nothing, and my mother didn't see a single penny. It all went to you to pay off your debts, and now you're trying to take this cow. No way!" Zhao Da'e said angrily.

"Besides, Grandma, you fell at my aunt's house, not at home. My aunt brags all day about how rich she is, always looking down on this and that. Why doesn't she pay for it herself? It's her responsibility, why shouldn't she spend money instead of these guys? And my grandpa is really good at saying that my uncle and aunt don't need to pay. My aunt isn't back, my third uncle has no money, and his two coins aren't enough for my third aunt's extravagant spending. So in the end, it's just our family who has to pay?! If we don't have any money, my dad is going to sell this cow for me, and I'll make my mom divorce him tomorrow."

"Zhao Da'e!!!" Wang Guixiang suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhao Da'e's nose and cursed, "You little bastard! How can you be such an unfilial child?"

Zhao Da'e stared coldly at Wang Guixiang: "Come here, Grandma, why are you standing up? Keep pretending to be sick!"

"Didn't you break your leg?"
