Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 407 - 407 407 The Leg is Broken

?Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Leg is Broken Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Leg is Broken The old lady saw that things are not looking good and grabbed the old man’s clothes in a grip.

“Old man! What on earth are you doing? Are you really going to disregard Xiaoshan? He is our grandson,” she had always thought that the old man was just trying to scare those usurers.

But now, it seemed not the case; rather, it looked like he was serious.

“I said I would not care, and if you can, you handle it. It’s because of you always protecting him that he turned out this way. When he was a child and made a mistake, you would shield him and not let me discipline him. Look at him now, a complete gambling addict. If this continues, our home will never know peace. It’s better to break his leg now than to let him end up dead under someone else’s knife later on. I said no one should interfere. If you have the ability and can come up with five thousand yuan, then go take care of it,” the old man said as he sat on the kang with his back turned, pouring himself a cup of liquor.

This Maotai, he never had the heart to drink himself, but now, he had ended up feeding it to the usurers.

Shaking the liquor bottle, it was empty, with only a bottom left.

The old lady, furious and overwrought, did not have five thousand yuan, and even if the whole family sold their bones, they could not raise that sum, so she was powerless. Yet she couldn’t bear to see her grandson, whom she had cherished for so many years, have his leg broken by someone else.

And so, the old lady fainted with a crash.

The old man glanced at the old lady, carried her onto the kang, and pinched her in the philtrum with all his might until she finally, groggily, woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes and took a long breath, she heard Xiaoshan let out a shrill scream in the yard.

Then there was silence.

“Let’s go! Guys, we’ll come back tomorrow, and we’ll see how many lives Fang Xiaoshan has.” The sounds of several people seemed to move out of the yard.

The old lady suddenly flipped over and scrambled up.

Her movements were sharp, nothing like someone who had just fainted; she ran outside, hopping on her feet.

Fang Laoda and his wife, now hearing that the people had left, also rushed out, and there in the yard, the old lady threw herself with a howl onto Xiaoshan.

Xiaoshan had already passed out from the pain.

One of his legs was indeed deformed, and a stick, thick as the mouth of a bowl, was thrown in the yard.

Clearly, it was the weapon just used.

Laoda and his wife also began to wail, hugging their son, almost passing out with him.

The old man walked out, “What are you crying for? What right do you have to cry? When they were here, you all acted like cowards, and now crying does nothing! Don’t you hurry to find a doctor to set his leg or do you want him to end up lame?” His heart was aching, and the distress was unbearable.

He had loved his grandson for so many years. To say he felt nothing would be a lie.

But the thought of Xiaoshan willing to sell his wife and laden with debts, the old man didn’t feel that pang of heartache anymore.

This grandson had ruined his life. If he couldn’t be set right, then he might as well be left to his own devices.

The family couldn’t continue to be weighed down by this reckless youth, nor could they be sure who would end up dead because of him.

Laoda’s wife hurriedly ran off to find the village doctor.

Fang Laoda, looking at his son, heartbroken, carried Xiaoshan onto the kang in his own room.

“Dad, can Laoda be so heartless? That’s his nephew,” he said.

“Shut your damn mouth. Laoda is his uncle, not his dad. If you weren’t so soft-hearted, why didn’t you pay off his debts!” roared the old man, utterly provoked by Laoda that day to a point of fierce determination.

Scorning someone for a millennium.

Laoda resignedly closed his mouth.

The village doctor came, and upon examination, confirmed that the leg was truly broken. Xiaoshan was drenched in sweat and was wailing after a while, and once the splint was set, the doctor specifically instructed that if the leg wasn’t taken care of properly, it would cause problems in the future.

The family was heavy with silence and had nothing to say.
