Su Qingyue stopped, looking at him puzzled, “What’s the matter?”

Granny Sun, who had previously demanded payment from the Xiao family, was Sun Changde’s wife. Su Qingyue really detested anyone from the Sun family.

Sun Changde’s old face was also full of guilt. “Wife of the Xiao Family, I’m really sorry about my wife demanding money from your family. When she came after the six taels of debt the Xiao Family owed, I didn’t tell her, as she’s quite shrewd and I didn’t dare to inform her.

That night, Dashan brought one tael of silver and ten copper coins to repay the debt. I secretly hid the money under the bed, unaware that my wife found out. She knew I didn’t have any medical fees that day and couldn’t have earned so much. She also knew about Dashan’s visit and forced me to explain where the money came from. No matter how I tried to keep it from her, I ended up telling her everything. She scolded me all night. Early the next morning, while I went to the neighboring village for consultations, she went to your house to demand payment behind my back.”

Su Qingyue’s face showed indifference. “So what?”

Having explained everything, Sun Changde thought the wife of the Xiao Family would appreciate it. However, she didn’t even change her facial expression, causing him to feel somewhat frustrated. “I had no idea she would do that. I told her not to harass you. These past few days, I’ve been working in other villages and only returned home at night. My wife was afraid I’d scold her, so she didn’t tell me about it. It wasn’t until this morning that someone from the village informed me. I immediately went home and scolded her, and she’s still crying inside the house.”

He took out half a tael of broken silver from his sleeve pocket. “This is the money I secretly saved up. I’m giving it to you. The Xiao family is really having a hard time now. You returned the silver taels, but my wife kept them and refused to contribute a cent. She really went too far! As an old married couple, I can’t do anything to her, but please take this half a tael of silver as my support. You don’t have to pay it back.”

Su Qingyue looked at Sun Changde, whose face was full of wrinkles. There was nothing left for the Xiao family to flaunt, and many folks kept their distance. To make up for Granny Sun’s excessive demands, Sun Changde was willing to give half a tael, proving that he wasn’t a bad person. “No need.”

“Please take it…” Sun Changde was trying to give it to her, but a sharp voice of an elderly woman resounded, “How dare you, Sun Changde, give money to the wife of the Xiao Family behind my back!”

Granny Sun quickly ran over, snatching the money from Sun Changde’s hand and glaring angrily at Su Qingyue. “You cheap…” Confronted by Su Qingyue’s sharp gaze, she didn’t dare to curse but shouted instead, “Don’t think about taking advantage of my family! My Sun Family swears not to associate with your Xiao family!”

“It was Doctor Sun who felt that you went too far in demanding payment, so he wanted to support the Xiao family with half a tael of silver. I never asked for it and won’t accept it.” Su Qingyue directly told the truth. It wasn’t that she wouldn’t help Doctor Sun. Rather, she didn’t want to complicate matters, as an exchange of money between a man and a woman could lead to misunderstandings, and she didn’t want to be misconstrued.

“You old bastard, you must have lots of money, huh?” Granny Sun was so angry that she couldn’t catch her breath.

“Old granny, it was you who went too far to begin with. By pushing the Xiao family like this, you’ve lost your humanity in the village. But I still need to live here!” Sun Changde was infuriated to the point that his beard was trembling.

“How dare you! I’ve done so much for this family, and you’re actually blaming me!” Granny Sun furiously scolded Sun Changde, and then she loudly raged, “When I married you, you were so poor it was pathetic! If it weren’t for my dowry repairing the house, we would have had nowhere to live! If it weren’t for my dowry money sending you to study medicine, you could never have learned medical skills in this lifetime!”
