Chapter 157 - 157 Deal

157 Deal

Zheng Lanxiu did not have a comfortable time.

First, there was the matter with the family of her younger brother, Zheng Yuanbo. One of them was Su Yuniang, who refused to return to the Zheng family, and the other was Ah Xiang, who kept urging Zheng Yuanbo not to bring Su Yuniang back, causing the family to be in a foul mood.

Then there was Cripple Feng’s leg.

Ever since he was injured, she had consulted all the physicians in town. Not only did his injuries not improve at all, but they also worsened.

!!

In the beginning, it was said that his leg might be a little lame. Later, the physician gave her the bottom line. He would be lucky to get away with the lameness. If Cripple Feng’s injuries worsened, he could only amputate his leg. Otherwise, if the infection was too serious, Cripple Feng would not even be able to survive.

Zheng Lanxiu was a strong woman.

Her mother pa.s.sed away early, and as the eldest sister, she was like a matriarch. She raised her younger sisters with Zheng Yuanbo. Later on, her father married and filled the house, but his new family did not gain any advantage from her.

However, no matter how domineering she was to the outside world, some concepts were deeply rooted in her bones. Feng Zhiwei was her man and the root of her life. She could not allow anything to happen to Feng Zhiwei.

She had already gone to the Su family to make a fuss.

She had also taught Su Jinniang a lesson. She pressed her to the ground and slapped her several times! Although Su Jinniang did not admit that she did it on purpose, she would not listen. She needed someone to vent her anger on.

But after venting, she fell into deep panic and confusion.

Was Cripple Feng really going to have to amputate one leg?

Could he still live after that?

The physician could not guarantee that he would live, but if he did not cut it off, he would definitely not survive…

“Zheng Lanxiu.”

A cold voice interrupted Zheng Lanxiu’s thoughts.

Zheng Lanxiu came back to her senses and realized that the water she had been fetching for a long time had all been spilled onto the ground. There was not a single drop in the bucket.

She turned to look at the person who called her. A complicated look flashed across her eyes. “It’s you?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “It’s me.”

Zheng Lanxiu had mixed feelings about Su Xiaoxiao. Cripple Feng had gone after Su Xiaoxiao to take advantage of her, but Cripple Feng had also escaped danger because of Su Xiaoxiao…

She had no right to blame Su Xiaoxiao, but she would be jealous too. She was jealous that her husband had taken a fancy to another woman.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have time to care about Zheng Lanxiu’s emotions. She went straight to the point. “Do you want to save Cripple Feng?”

Zheng Lanxiu was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao brushed the snow off her body.

From Apricot Flower Village to Shallow Water Village, she had to pa.s.s through a forest on the way. The temperature in the forest was low, and the snow that remained had fallen on her shoulders.

She kept it short. “If you want to save him, I can.”

Zheng Lanxiu frowned. “What do you mean?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Literally, I can treat Cripple Feng’s injury, and only I can. Even if you go to the prefecture or the capital, you won’t be able to find a physician who can save his leg.”

Zheng Lanxiu really wanted to go to the prefectural city to hire a famous physician.

Wait, what did this girl say?

Zheng Lanxiu’s pupils constricted. “Can you save his leg?”

The physician of Rong’en Hall could at most save his life, but his leg would definitely not be saved. Moreover, he only had a 50% chance of survival.

Su Xiaoxiao said casually, “Yes.”

Zheng Lanxiu’s first reaction was disbelief, but then she remembered that Su Yuniang had suggested that she invite Su Daya over when Cripple Feng had first gotten into trouble.

Su Yuniang had lost half her life after giving birth. It was Su Daya who had saved her.

Could it be… that all of this was real?

Did Su Daya really know medicine? Was she just lucky?

Su Xiaoxiao said, “You don’t have to be in a hurry to reply to me. Once you’ve thought it through, go to the Su family to look for me. However, I have to remind you that while I can afford to wait, Cripple Feng’s leg… might not. If this drags on, perhaps even I will have to saw off his leg.”

Zheng Lanxiu clenched her fists.

Should she trust Su Daya?

She… could she gamble with Cripple Feng’s life?

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and left without any intention of forcing her.

Zheng Lanxiu looked at her calm and indifferent figure as she left. For some reason, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

It was as if this person had an innately convincing aura.

Was this still the same Su Daya?

Zheng Lanxiu stopped her. “How much do you want?”

Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks. “The letter for releasing the wife.”

Zheng Lanxiu frowned. “What?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s voice was soft and indifferent. “I said, I want the letter for releasing Su Yuniang.”

… .

Zheng Lanxiu returned to the Zheng family.

The sound of laughter came from Zheng Yuanbo’s room. She suddenly felt irritated and raised her hand to slap the door without hesitation. “Zheng Yuanbo, come out!”

The playful sounds stopped abruptly, followed by the rustling of clothes.

After a while, Zheng Yuanbo opened the door in a panic.

...

Zheng Lanxiu could tell at a glance that he was doing something shameful in his room again.

Ah Xiang was his woman. Logically speaking, it was not too much to do anything, but in broad daylight… Ah Xiang was still pregnant…

That woman was a vixen!

“Sister.”

Ah Xiang finished tidying her clothes and timidly came to Zheng Yuanbo’s side. She lowered her head and looked extremely afraid.

Zheng Lanxiu was disgusted by the way she addressed her.

Zheng Lanxiu did not like Su Yuniang because Su Yuniang had a strong personality and was very smart. She knew how to win people over and do business. She earned a lot of money for the family and seriously threatened her status.

Zheng Lanxiu did like Ah Xiang more. Ah Xiang was obedient and knew how to coax people.

But today…

Zheng Lanxiu frowned.

“Brother Xing, come with me.”

...

She brought Zheng Yuanbo to the kitchen.

“Sister, what’s the matter?” Zheng Yuanbo asked.

Zheng Lanxiu looked at him. “What do you think about Yu Niang?”

Zheng Yuanbo’s eyes flashed. “Ah… She, she didn’t want to come back, right?”

Zheng Lanxiu said resentfully, “So you’re just going to let it go?”

Zheng Yuanbo muttered, “Yuniang will hit Ah Xiang. Ah Xiang’s belly is getting bigger. What if it affects her pregnancy? Sister, Ah Xiang is pregnant with a son!”

Zheng Lanxiu asked angrily, “Who told you that?”

Zheng Yuanbo shuddered and lowered his voice. “Ah Xiang’s stomach is sharp. The elders in the village said so.”

Zheng Lanxiu closed her eyes. “Do you not like Yu Niang anymore?”

Zheng Yuanbo said, “I do, but I’m also a little afraid of her. If only Yuniang was gentler, like Ah Xiang.”

Zheng Lanxiu was furious. “Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang, you can’t stop talking about her! I think you should go with Ah Xiang!”

Zheng Yuanbo was unhappy. “Sister, Ah Xiang wants to live with me. If you get Yuniang to accept Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang will treat her as her biological sister. Ah Xiang has such a good temper. She definitely won’t cause trouble for Yuniang.”

“Let me ask you: if you can only choose one between Yu Niang and Ah Xiang. Who do you choose?”

“Sister!”

“Answer me!”

“… Yu Niang.”

Zheng Lanxiu sighed helplessly with a complicated expression.

“Then from today onwards, you’re not allowed to touch Ah Xiang again. After she gives birth, send her away. I’ll raise the child. Actually, it’s better for Yu Niang not to see it. Forget it, I’ll get Ah Xiang to go back with me later.”

Zheng Yuanbo moved his lips. He wanted to say something, but he did not dare to disobey his eldest sister.

He said gloomily, “I’ll talk to Ah Xiang.”

Zheng Lanxiu sat alone in the kitchen with tears streaming down her face.

In the end, she still chose her younger brother between Cripple Feng and her younger brother.

Ah Xiang asked, “Yuan Bo, what did Big Sis say to you?”

Zheng Yuanbo lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. “In a while, you and Eldest Sister will head back.”

“Why?” Ah Xiang asked.

“Eldest Sis… wants to send you off.” Zheng Yuanbo said.

Ah Xiang panicked. “Husband! Don’t you want Ah Xiang anymore? Ah Xiang is pregnant with your child!”

Zheng Yuanbo said sadly, “Big Sister… asked me to choose between you and Yu Niang. Yu Niang is my official wife. I can’t divorce her. Father and Mother won’t agree.”

Ah Xiang took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. “Eldest Sister is a married daughter. Why should she care about her family’s matters?”

Zheng Yuanbo said, “Don’t say that about Eldest Sister. This family can’t do without Eldest Sister. We can’t do without Yu Niang either.”

Yuniang was good with business and earned a lot of money for the family.

Ah Xiang turned around. “I’m not leaving!”

Zheng Yuanbo fell silent.

Ah Xiang bit her lip and turned around to hug him. She asked in a coquettish voice, “Can you bear for me to leave?”

Zheng Yuanbo lowered his head. “What’s the use of being reluctant? If you don’t leave, Yu Niang won’t come back…”

Ah Xiang choked and said, “Alright, I’ll leave then! Before I leave, I’ll serve you again, okay?”

Zheng Yuanbo whispered, “Ah Xiang, don’t be like this…”

… .

Zheng Lanxiu had enough of crying. She wiped her tears and prepared to call Ah Xiang to go back with her.

However, when she arrived at Zheng Yuanbo’s door, an unbearable sound came from inside.

The door was not closed tightly. Through the crack in the door, she saw two figures intertwined.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t go to town today. It was Father Su who dragged his precious son-in-law out to set up a stall.

Wei Ting was forced to set up shop. He sat on the stool behind the stall with a cold expression, exuding an aura that prevented strangers from approaching.

Even so, there were still many people who came to admire his beautiful face.

“Give me ten chestnut cakes and ask that young man to pack them for me,” a young girl said shyly.

Wei Ting’s eyelids did not even twitch.

Father Su chopped the machete on the chopping board. “Say it again, who’s going to pack it!”

The little girl was so scared that she cried.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know that her father was such a bandit. She was making salted eggs with Little Wu in the backyard.

Even though they did not have to supply Jin Ji, their salted eggs were still not enough. They had no choice. Business was too good.

When she ran out of wood ash, she went to the kitchen to move it.

At this moment, someone walked over from the central room.

Little Wu said, “Yu Niang, you’re in confinement. It’s windy today. Don’t come out.”

The other party did not respond.

Madam Wu turned around. “You are…”

“I’m looking for Su Daya.”

Zheng Lanxiu said.
