The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 293 He's a Good Man?

"Emily, are you saying you want the Hayes brothers to be released so they can continue plaguing our family? So Greenfield can keep suffering under that coal mine? So the villagers can keep getting cancer?" Brittany challenged.

Emily responded with a cold, mocking laugh. "Heh!" After her laugh, she added, "I'm stating facts. The Hayes brothers will definitely be set free! And do you think Liam is a good person? Haven't these things happened before?"

Their argument irked Oliver, especially on his eightieth birthday. "Today's my birthday, and you two can't stop bickering? Look at this mess. If you're energetic enough to argue, why don't you help clean up instead?" After scolding his granddaughters, Oliver got up with his cane and limped towards another room.

Suddenly, Brittany remembered something. "Grandpa, wait!"

Stopped by his granddaughter, Oliver asked impatiently, "What now?"

"How's your leg feeling?"

"Can't you see for yourself?"

"Well, the country boy knows a bit of medicine; how about letting him take a look? I brought him back this time to help with your leg."

Hearing Brittany trying to impress their grandfather again, Emily scoffed mockingly, "Heh!" Then, with a dismissive tone, she said, "That country boy knows medicine? I don't think so. If city hospitals couldn't fix it, what could a country kid possibly do? Grandpa can still walk a few steps with a cane; if you let this country boy treat him, I fear he won't be able to walk at all and will end up in a wheelchair."

"Emily, what are you implying? Don't you want Grandpa's foot to heal? Do you prefer seeing him struggle with a cane?" Brittany confronted her.

He wasn't trying to mess with Emily; the remedy he suggested actually worked. Of course, she didn't have to use cow dung; she could mix a few common herbs into a powder, blend with water, and apply it to her face. But Daniel couldn't stand Emily's attitude, so he figured cow dung
