"I always said they were all frauds!"
Clang——!
A teapot smashed onto Old Third Liu's head, sending him scrambling out the door, followed by a woman's hysterical screaming and the piercing cries of a child.
"Hiring a Great Immortal, indeed! You're as muddleheaded as your mother! The child's sick and needs to go to the hospital! Needs medicine!"
"We're out of money..."
"What good are you! Working yourself to death to earn that meager sum, I've never enjoyed a single day of fortune since I married into your family, look at other men..."
Smack——!
A sharp sound, and the woman's voice was silenced.
Old Third Liu sat on the steps outside the door, clutching his head, not daring to make a sound.
Heavy footsteps approached from behind; a cigarette was handed to him.
Two men squatted on the steps, silently puffing smoke into the air together.
Old Third Liu took a drag of the cigarette and whispered, "Your wife's right, you need to go to the hospital if it's necessary."
