CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: WATCHING A JOKE

Jiang Rong saw that Mr. Jiang had shifted the problem to Mrs. Zhou and hurriedly crawled to her, looking up, "Mother, if there’s no silver, sell the land. Selling ten acres is enough."

"In the future, when we split the family, our second branch won’t ask for anything, as long as we can save my son."

Mrs. Zhou suddenly shouted sternly, "We can’t sell the land! What will the whole family eat and drink if the land is sold?"

"Erlang brought this on himself, blame no one else!"

"We can’t let the whole family starve just for him!"

Locked in the cage, Jiang Erlang suddenly cursed angrily, "Zhou Damei, you venomous woman!"

"Back then, when my uncle was sick, you wouldn’t spend silver to treat him."

"When Da Lang was ill, you still didn’t spend any silver."

"When San Lang broke his leg, you only gave one hundred wen!"

"And now, I need silver to save my life, and you still won’t spend any!"

"You venomous woman, may you die a miserable death, go die clutching your silver!"

On the brink of life and death, Jiang Erlang suddenly saw things clearly.

His place in the old lady’s heart definitely didn’t compare to his uncle or Da Lang.

If she was unwilling to spend silver on them, how could she be willing to spend it on him?

He’s going to die anyway, so he might as well curse to his heart’s content before that.

Mrs. Zhou’s old face turned beet red.

She pointed at Jiang Erlang with a trembling finger, "You, you unfilial wretch, you should be drowned in a pig’s cage!"

"You deserve to die!"

Jiang Rong, who was still kowtowing on the ground, suddenly lifted his head and glared venomously at Mrs. Zhou.

Jiang Erlang suddenly looked at Mr. Jiang, "Grandfather, save me, I beg you to save me."

"Grandfather, I’m the eldest grandson of this family, I can do a lot of work, I beg you to save me."

Mr. Jiang trembled and couldn’t utter a word for a long time.

The last glimmer of light in Jiang Erlang’s eyes gradually extinguished, then he suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Fine, fine!"

"This Jiang Family is truly rotten to the core!"

"Each one only sees profit, valuing silver more than human life."

"Alright, once I’m a ghost, I’ll see what kind of good life you can have with that silver!"

Zhao Lizheng was watching the drama unfold nearby, feeling much delighted, "Are you all done talking? Take him to the riverside."

At this moment, Mr. Jiang suddenly shouted, "Stop, stop, I, I’m willing to give the silver."

"I’ll use land in exchange for silver."

Saying this, Mr. Jiang felt as though a piece of his heart and soul was cut away.

He had weighed the situation over and over before making this decision.

Erlang must be saved.

The family couldn’t afford to lose any more males.

Moreover, the second son is clearly harboring resentment towards the parents, losing this grandson means losing the son as well.

He really couldn’t afford it!

Mrs. Zhou cried out upon hearing Mr. Jiang’s words, "No, we can’t use the land for silver, I disagree, over my dead body!"

The hope that had just ignited in Jiang Rong, Yang Shi, and Jiang Erlang was extinguished again by Mrs. Zhou’s words.

Jiang Rong knelt on the ground staring at his mother, as if he could swallow Mrs. Zhou whole.

Mrs. Zhou shivered under his gaze and took a few steps back.

Zhao Lizheng initially wanted to continue enjoying the Jiang Family’s misfortune.

Anyway, after this event, the Zhao Family and the Jiang Family were destined to be mortal enemies.

In that case, let the Jiang Family hang their heads even lower in the village!

But Mrs. Zhou’s voice was so unpleasant that he didn’t want to hear it anymore.

Zhao Lizheng lifted his head, "Stop arguing, what’s all the noise for!"

"Does your family even have a hundred acres to spare?"
