When Zhang Erya heard the voice, tears welled up in her eyes.

She gently rubbed the top of her sister's head, and the warmth from her hands seemed to melt all the pain.

Zhang Laosan and his wife stood aside, feeling even more complicated.

Due to the pressure of life, they followed their parents' wishes and considered evicting the second wife's family.

Now, faced with this sudden crisis, it is this brother who has silently endured many injustices in the past who has stepped forward to lend a helping hand, which makes them feel guilty and self-blame.

Just as everyone was in a state of confusion, Zhang Wuya had already completed her "lesson". The branch in her hand was slowly put into her sleeve. She let out a light breath, her posture calm and unhurried.

After the lesson, Wu Ya locked her eyes with Yu Min again, and said in a cold voice: "Are you still thinking of some tricks?"

Wu Ya glanced to the side, and Yu Min was shocked. He shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again!"

Just at this time, the person Zhang Laoer entrusted.

Zhang Changshun brought the old doctor invited from Baifutang and rushed back in his second uncle's old donkey cart, exhausted.

Zhang Changshun eagerly led the old doctor through the crowded crowd. Under the gaze of everyone, the old doctor slightly straightened his clothes and asked calmly: "Where is the patient? Let me see it quickly."

With the arrival of the doctor, Zhang Laosan and his wife finally loosened their clenched hands, revealing Zhang Erya's frail figure.

When the old doctor saw Erya's miserable condition, he couldn't help but feel pity: "Oh, what a sin! How could such a good child suffer such a disaster?"

He stroked Arya's head gently, then took out a piece of maltose from his pocket and handed it to Arya as comfort.

Erya thanked her softly, took a small bite, and then tried to share it with Xiao Youniang.

Little Youniang shook her head, and took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from her pocket, and handed it to Erya. Her childish voice was full of determination: "Second sister, eat this, it's sweet, and you won't feel sad."

Erya did not refuse. She took the osmanthus cake and took a bite. The delicate and soft osmanthus fragrance immediately filled her mouth and the sweetness went straight into her heart. She looked at her sister, her eyes full of warmth and gratitude.

At this moment, she thought to herself, even if Liuwa may no longer remember me in the future, the little sister who was raised by me will still remember my kindness. There will always be someone in this world who will miss the warmth and tenderness I once gave her.

The old doctor first calmed the children down, and then began to take Erya's pulse and examine her.

After a careful examination, he couldn't help but sigh: "This child has suffered too much. Long-term hunger has made his body weak and he is plagued by illness. I'm afraid he will need several years of careful care, and he must take medicine continuously."

"Tell me, how much does the medicine cost?" Xu Liyun's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, piercing straight at Yu Min.

The old doctor pondered for a moment, then calculated carefully and said slowly: "At least ten taels of silver, and this is just the cost of the medicinal materials..."

"Nonsense! How can medicine be so expensive as ten taels? Which clinic are you from? Are you a quack doctor?" Yu Min was furious when he heard this.

The old doctor smiled coldly and introduced himself calmly: "I am a doctor from Baifu Hall. This child's foundation has been severely damaged. If she is not properly treated, I am afraid that her life may be extinguished at any time. If she wants to recover completely, she must use the Tianxian Pill specially made by our store. One pill costs two hundred copper coins. According to her condition, she must take at least more than twenty pills. You can calculate the cost yourself."

Yu Min's face turned ashen. He was thinking about escaping, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't move even a step.

What's more, my mother's family members were all lying on the ground at the moment. If I escaped, it would be like abandoning my last support.

Seeing Yu Min speechless, Xu Liyun took out a pile of loose silver from her sleeve and said in a cold and firm voice: "These five taels of silver are to repay the debt to the Wang family, and the remaining part represents a little thought from the Zhang family. If you feel it is not enough, feel free to make a fuss. The Zhang family is not afraid of this. We can afford to waste time."

The meaning of Xu Liyun's words was obvious. She implied that the family not only had a capable Wu Ya like her, but also had masters who had not yet taken action. She hinted that the strength of the Zhang family should not be underestimated.

Yu Min was so angry that his chest heaved violently, his breathing became heavy, and he made a "huffing and puffing" sound.

After a painful struggle, she finally picked up the silver on the ground and shouted helplessly to her family: "Let's go!"

Although he was extremely unwilling, he was in the wrong after all, and he did not dare to confront the forces of Zhangjia Village head-on.

If Zhang Erya had not exposed the Wang family's shameful secrets in public, Yu Min might have dared to gather people from Wangjia Village to cause trouble.

Zhang Erya's recklessness made Yu Min afraid to act rashly. He knew that he was no match for the Zhang family, and he did not dare to alarm the village chief of Wangjia Village. He had to swallow his anger and left in disgrace with the money.

After the people walked away, Zhang Laoer stuffed the contract for buying Zhang Erya into Zhang Laosan's arms and said earnestly: "Take your daughter's indenture. If you have any bad thoughts in the future, take it out and look at it. Think about how your daughter almost sacrificed her lifelong happiness for this family."

Zhang Laosan held the contract in his hand, slightly opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but when he met his brother's cold and serious eyes, all his excuses instantly vanished.

At this moment, Zhang Erya was finally sure that she had truly escaped from the Wang family, a place that was as terrifying as an abyss.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long burst out in an instant. She hugged her sister and burst into tears, as if she wanted to pour out all the despair and grievances that had accumulated in the past two years with her tears.

Although the young girl didn't understand why her elder sister was crying, she knew that she didn't have to leave with her aunt who looked so fierce, and her heart was filled with unprecedented joy.

She hugged Zhang Erya tightly, and imitated Xu Liyun, struggling to pat her elder sister's back with her little hands, trying to give her a little comfort.

Standing aside, when Li Guifen saw her daughter crying, her eyes also became moist and tears welled up in her eyes.

She hugged her daughter tightly and comforted her gently over and over again: "Don't be afraid, Erya, you have your parents here. From now on, our family will never be separated again, and you will never be hurt by the outside world again."

Zhang Laosan clenched the contract in his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then resolutely returned all the silver he had just received to his father-in-law.

"Dad, I, Zhang Laosan, will never forget this great kindness. In the future, Guifen and I will definitely take care of you with our two children!"

Old Man Chen did not refuse and accepted the money readily. The father and son tacitly chose to ignore the dissatisfied whispers of Old Lady Zhang.

The silver fell heavily into Zhang Laosan's hands. He counted them one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, he carefully handed the contract to his wife Li Guifen.

His fingertips gently brushed across his daughter's soft hair, with a myriad of thoughts surging in his mind.
