Mrs. Woods jumped up and scolded, "You jinx, little whore, you still dare to ask me for money?"
"I..."
"Aunt..." Sam interrupted her when he heard her scolding.
Only then did Mrs. Woods see Sam. She was stunned at first, but then she forced a smile. "Oh, our scholar is back!"
"How did you do? Is passing the imperial examination a sure thing?"
Sam shook his head slowly. "I can't. I didn't even take the test."
Mrs. Woods's face turned pale.
The whole family lived frugally to provide for Sam's studies. They only hoped that he could pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, and the whole family would follow him to live a rich life.
He didn't take the exam?
Wouldn't they have to live three more years of hardship?
Mrs. Woods couldn't tell if she was sad or disappointed, and entirely wilted.
At this time, Mrs. Oda, the wife of the third son of the Rivers family, came out of the room. She heard it clearly in the room and came out to make a fuss. "Oh, who made David's arm like this? Is it okay?"
When David heard her words, he remembered that he had accidentally moved his arm several times along the way and it was so painful that he felt like he was about to die. He was instantly filled with anger. He casually picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards Brittany while cursing, "Little whore, I'll beat you to death today!"
Sam strode over and stopped him. "What are you doing, David?"
"What does it have to do with you?" David said impatiently. "This little whore needs to be taught a lesson. I must teach her a lesson!"
"David, do you not have any respect for the law?" Sam asked coldly.
"If Brittany goes to the authorities to sue for today's matter, you will be beaten dozens of times at least and have to do a year of hard labor. Do you want to have a try?"
David was stunned for a moment before he chuckled, "So what? Would she dare to sue me? Did she not care about her reputation anymore? Isn't she afraid of being despised?"
Brittany picked up the chopper in her hand and waved it, "I'm not afraid."
"I don't plan to get married again. What's the point of having a reputation?"
She brandished the chopper and took a few steps forward, "Come on, come on. This knife doesn't have eyes. Don't blame me if I cut you somewhere later!"
"There's no point in me living anyway. If I kill you, I'm willing to pay with my life."
As the saying goes, the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the violent ones, and the violent ones are afraid of the ones who don't care about their lives.
At this moment, David was insolent, and Brittany was the one who did not care about her life.
David suddenly didn't dare to move forward when he saw the chopper shining brightly under the sunlight.
He threw away the stick in his hand, but his mouth did not lose its momentum and was still cursing.
Mrs. Woods was anxious at the side. It had already been four hours, and his arm was still not cured. It was going to be crippled!
She hesitantly took out her purse and looked at Brittany. "Can you cure it?"
Brittany only looked at her with a faint smile. Mrs. Woods gritted her teeth. "Alright, then you treat him. However, we're all family. Can you charge less money? How about 0.2 ounces of silver coins?"
At this moment, Mrs. Long carried a basket of plates and forks into the kitchen. She took the time to smile at Mrs. Woods, "Woods, why can't you understand?"
"If we go to the county to find a doctor to treat it, not only will it waste time, but we will also spend more money."
"You should give Brittany the money to treat as soon as possible so that David won't be in so much pain."
Sam saw that Mrs. Woods was still hesitating. His eyes flashed and he was about to leave when he accidentally bumped into David's injured arm.
David cried out again like a pig being slaughtered.
Sam apologized insincerely. "I'm sorry, David I didn't pay attention just now."
