Wu Dashan and Wu Xiaoshan, having each been beaten with ten heavy blows, received absolutely no medical treatment in jail for the past few days. Consequently, their wounds become somewhat gangrenous. With no money to see a doctor, Aunt Liu Hua in desperation could only kneel before the doctor, begging for mercy to treat her two sons first and promising that her family would definitely repay the debt in the future.
The doctor agreed to provide treatment, while Madam Liuhua's house also accrued a significant amount of external debt, leading to a particularly desolate home situation.
Yet, the villagers of Jiuping Village felt no sympathy for Madam Liuhua's family, regarding their plight as deserved.
If only they had agreed to pay the money in the beginning as compensation, wouldn't that have been better? Now, they had not only paid the money but had also suffered a beating, and on top of that, incurred heavy debts.
