72 Completely Severed
With the villagers of Lengshui Village acting as witnesses, Zhao Chuchu accepted the emancipation proof, and her ties with the Zhao clan were severed entirely from that moment onward.
“I’ve already given what you asked for. Hurry up and save them!” Madam Yang said angrily.
Zhao Chuchu read through the proof and raised her head to look at the older woman. “Why are you even in such a hurry? I still have to head into the mountain to find the herbs for that. But, since everyone is here, I’ll make this clear first. Even if I managed to cure Zhao Baogen, he would still become half a cripple. Do you still want to do it? If not, I’ll just return your silvers.”
“No! You’ve already taken them! You have to make sure they can walk again!”
“Is that so? Then, I won’t help them. Here. You can have the money back.”
Zhao Chuchu acted as if she wanted to return the silvers.
Madam Ma quickly turned to beg Madam Yang. “Mom! Even the doctors said there was nothing they could do to save his leg. They’ll have to cut it away! If Zhao Chuchu has a way, living as half a cripple is better than losing one leg. At least he will still be able to walk!”
Madam Yang was trembling.
Other people also started to persuade her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end, she could only nod. “Fine! But, you’ll have to cure my other son fully!”
“I can’t assure you that. Have you ever seen a doctor saying they can cure something with 100% certainty? You should be thankful that I’m willing to do this. If you keep acting like this, you better go find another doctor to look at them.”
“You…”
Before Madam Yang could even argue back, some of the villagers interrupted her.
“You should keep your mouth shut, Madam Yang. Don’t you know why things became like this?”
“She’s right. It’s already a blessing that Baogen can still walk. Do you really want him to lose a leg?”
“Things will only worsen for you if you continue acting like this. Chuchu is no longer the weak little girl you can order around.”
Even Old Man Zhao tried to stop his wife.
“When will you start treating them?” Madam Yang forced herself to calm down.
“Didn’t I say I still have to find the herbs?”
“If my sons lose their legs because of this, I’ll kill you!” Madam Yang threatened and turned to leave with Old Man Zhao chasing after her.
Since there was nothing more to watch, the villagers left as well.
Zhao Chuchu’s relationship with the Zhao clan was finally cut off, and she felt great.
Once everyone had left, she returned to the house.
Xie Heng sat in the living room and asked, “Did you get it?”
“Yup!” Zhao Chuchu smiled as she waved the emancipation proof in front of him. “They can’t force me to pay my respect to them anymore.”
“Don’t you feel sad because of that?”
“Of course not!” Zhao Chuchu paused and whispered, “That’s the silent rule over here. I’ll have to follow it, no?”
Since her mouth was close to his ear, he could feel her warm breath on his face, making him blush a little.
Fortunately for him, the cloth was big enough to cover half of his face.
“I’ll make dinner to celebrate this occasion!”
“Don’t!” Xie Heng quickly stopped her without any hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had no intention of eating buns for dinner.
“I thought you were only kidding last time. Do you really not like them?”
“I don’t.” The man admitted.
“Then, we’ll eat something else. Just sit back and wait.” Zhao Chuchu grinned.
She had a lot of food. It wouldn’t even be a challenge for her to prepare a feast.
All of the food was pre-made, and all she had to do was plate them.
However, Xie Heng didn’t know that and wasn’t looking forward to dinner.
“Oh, right! I’m taking Yuan Hui back tonight.”
“Okay.”
“Aren’t you going to tell me that it’s going to be dangerous at night and that taking her back in the morning will be safer?”
“No.”
“You heartless bastard. How can you not even worry about my safety?” Zhao Chuchu mumbled. “Aren’t we friends?”
Xie Heng let out a deep sigh. “Anyone who tries to harm you will quickly realize how unlucky they are.”
