Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 82 Returning Home
On the second day, Su Yaoguang sent Zhang Pandi and her daughter back to the Jia family.

Su Yaoguang parked the ox cart at the entrance of the village and asked Jiang Jing to guard it there. She sent them back empty-handed.

Mrs. Jia's mother, Xu, was gossiping with someone at the door. When she saw Su Yaoguang and the others appear, she spat out the melon seed shells and said sarcastically, "Oh, you two still remember to come back! Didn't you say it would be twenty days? It's already been twenty-two days."

After saying that, she spread out her hands, as if to say that you cannot enter this door without money.

Su Yaoguang handed over a bag and said impatiently, "We'll give them what we agreed on. I wanted to give it to them, but they insisted that you were the head of the family and told me to hand it over to you directly. You better understand this. If you say you have any problems after I leave here, I won't acknowledge them at all."

When Xu opened the bag and saw the strings of copper coins, her eyes sparkled with gold.

She began by counting the coins one by one, stringing them into large strings of 100 coins each, leaving the remaining 88 coins as loose change. She roughly counted the coins once, then cut the strings and continued counting. Originally, there were 888 coins. She sat outside in the yard and counted them for 25 minutes, making sure she hadn't missed a single one before packing them up.

"Okay, no less."

"It's good that there is nothing missing. The person is back, and I will go back too." Su Yaoguang said, turned around and left.

"Hey, do you still need people there? Let them continue working!" Xu shouted towards Su Yaoguang.

Su Yaoguang waved her hand: "Where can we get so much work for you to do? We haven't made any money yet."

After Su Yaoguang left, Xu yelled at Zhang Pandi fiercely, "Have you become stupid after working outside for a few days? Why don't you go in and fetch water and cook?"

She looked at Zhang Pandi's tattered clothes and the wounds on her hands and face, and said with disgust, "My son is so unlucky to marry an ugly and barren woman like you. You are so useless. If you don't work harder for the family, I will let my son divorce you."

Zhang Pandi walked in with red eyes and crying.

"And you, you damn girl." Xu pinched Jia Chunni's arm.

"Grandma, it hurts..." Jia Chunni cried and begged for mercy, "Don't pinch me, I'm going to chop wood."

"Hurry up and go! You're such a waste! I feel bad just seeing you." Mrs. Xu cursed. "Just like your mother, you always look sad. It's unlucky to look at you."

After Zhang Pandi and Jia Chunni went in to work, Wang, the woman who had just been chatting with Xu, said, "Aunt, these two have earned so much money, so don't beat them too hard. If her family is still willing to help her, won't she be able to earn even more money?"

"Didn't you hear what that money-losing bastard from the Su family said? The work they have on hand isn't even enough for themselves, and there's no other work for them. They're lucky to have encountered something as good as this once. How can we expect them to make money for our family?"

Jiang Jing saw Su Yaoguang coming back and asked, "Is it really safe for us to send my second aunt and cousin back? What if that family is even more hateful than we imagined?"

"Second Aunt and Chunni must get through this. If they can't, that family will keep pestering them and sucking their blood. Just be patient for a few days. Once you get through this period, the road ahead will be smooth."

Jiang Jing and Su Yaoguang drove the ox cart back.

There are still a lot of things to do at home. Not only do I have to rush to deliver the goods, but I also have to prepare things for the store.

She left the rush of goods to Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing already knew the formula, and her improved formula was also due to her medical skills, so leaving the household chores to her was no problem. She went into town early every morning to check on the progress of the reinstallation and discuss improvements with the craftsmen.

A few days later, she returned to see Xu and Hua making a scene at their doorstep. "What are you doing here?" Su Yaoguang got off the oxcart, tied the rope to a nearby tree stump, and walked over to look at the two.

Zhang Zhaodi was confronting them, and when she saw Su Yaoguang coming back, she immediately felt confident.

"My girl, these two shrews are trying to blackmail us."

"Chun Ni and her mother were fine at home, but they fell ill after working with you for twenty days. Chun Ni was vomiting blood, and her mother went crazy and slashed around the house with a knife, almost injuring Chun Ni's father. Today you must compensate us and give us money to hire a doctor." Hua said.

"I personally sent them home. The villagers can testify that when I sent them back, each one was healthy and without any problems. Now it's been five days since they left, and you tell me they're both sick. I've heard that your family treats them like nobody's business. I'm afraid they're exhausted from going back home, and you're trying to blackmail us. Let's report this to the authorities today. Let's get them to investigate this matter."

Su Yaoguang grabbed Hua's wrist and dragged her towards the ox cart.

She was very strong, and Hua struggled a few times but couldn't break free.

"Who's going to see the officials with you? We're here to discuss how to resolve this matter." Hua said, "He's so sick, and you're just going to ignore him?"

"A daughter who's married off is like spilled water. Why should we care?" Zhang Zhaodi curled her lips. "Even if you want my family to take care of it, you should ask my parents. How can I, as the eldest sister, support my younger sister?"

"They are about to die, and you just watch them die?" Xu glared at them with fierce eyes.

"One is your daughter-in-law, and the other is your granddaughter. No one in your Jia family feels sorry for them, so why should I feel sorry for them? Okay, get out of the way and get out of here."

"You...you are so cruel." Xu was pushed by Zhang Zhaodi and sat on the ground crying loudly. "Oh my God, my poor daughter-in-law, my poor granddaughter, how could you have such relatives? I've clearly worn myself out working for them, and now they don't care about your life or death!"

The villagers gathered around.

"What's going on here?"

Zhong Lanhua gloated nearby, "Zhang Pandi and Jia Chunni fell ill after returning from their home. Is there something wrong with the feng shui here?"

Whoosh! A chopping knife flew over and hit the tree trunk next to Zhong Lanhua.

When Zhong Lanhua saw the axe only a palm away from her, she felt a chill on her neck and her face turned ugly.

"It's crazy."

"Mom, look at how pitifully they are crying. Send them back. This is the only way we relatives can help. Otherwise, we won't be taken advantage of." Su Yaoguang came over and took the axe back.

Xu and Hua were also frightened by Su Yaoguang's actions.

However, they hadn't come all this way just to cry and make a fuss. Now they hadn't gained anything at all, and they were really unwilling to accept it.
