Her son met an unexpected accident and she was already so annoyed and concerned. She spared some part of the fees for them and they still tried to bargain?
Finally, it was Ding Jincai who agreed suddenly.
His parents were so anxious. But he nodded too fast and Ms. Fang accepted it quickly enough for his parents to be unable to turn the table. So, they had no choice but to go and fetch the money.
Land Officer Ding came to visit them too. He even asked Shao Dalang to get well and not worry about having to work for the repair of the canal any more.
That made Ms. Fang and the whole family annoyed.
Shao Dalang got injured because of the canal repair work. Although they did need the canal themselves, it was a project organized by the whole village.
