“Of course, whoever is responsible pays, that’s a matter of course. Hurry up and get the money!”
The onlookers shook their heads, not understanding Ye Linlin’s approach, but since one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit, and Ye Linlin had agreed to give the money, everyone didn’t say much, but they all thought Ye Linlin was too stupid in their hearts.
Liu Xihong was about to open her mouth anxiously when she heard Ye Linlin’s weak voice. Listening carefully, there was some grievance and pity in her voice.
“Then I was also injured. Because your Bai Ni lost my watch, my brother chased me and hit me. When I dodged, I scraped against the wall and was injured like this.”
Ye Linlin rolled up her sleeves, and there was a large abrasion on it. It was accidentally scraped when she went up the mountain the day before yesterday. It wasn’t serious, and because she had drunk spiritual water, it had all scabbed over, making it look a little scary.
“The doctor said it hurt the bone, and the medical expenses are 150 yuan. It takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury, so the nutrition expenses are also counted as 200 yuan. You should also pay up quickly.”
Li Chunhua was stunned, her mouth opened and closed but she couldn’t say a word. She never expected that Ye Linlin would be as rogue as her. She gritted her teeth and said, “You can say whatever you want? How do I know if you’re lying? Stop talking nonsense, pay up quickly. Our Bai Li’s head is injured.”
“Li Chunhua, people are bleeding, which looks more serious than your Bai Li’s. You should pay up quickly.”
Wang Yun shouted, happy to see Li Chunhua being deflated. Hearing her say this, many people who had had conflicts with Li Chunhua before began to urge Li Chunhua to pay up.
“That’s right, Li Chunhua, you blame others when your child is injured, why don’t you blame yourselves when others are injured? Pay up quickly, we won’t agree if you don’t pay.”
“Pay up quickly.”
“Yes, make her pay. My child was pushed down by Bai Li before, you also pay up.”
Li Chunhua’s face became darker and darker. She had always been a well-known unreasonable person in the village.
Before, everyone was too embarrassed to lose face, and some just suffered a dumb loss and gave some money to buy peace, and some directly beat people out, but Ye Linlin was the first to encounter someone who turned around and asked her to pay.
“Okay, you wait, we’ll see.”
Li Chunhua now regretted coming. If these people really pestered her to pay, her man would have to beat her to death.
But she was not willing to leave in such a disheveled manner, so she could only say a few harsh words to pretend.
After saying that, she pulled Bai Li and ran away in a hurry.
Everyone didn’t really stop her from leaving, after all, she was a rogue, who knew if she would do something even more unscrupulous.
“Thank you, aunties. If it weren’t for everyone’s help, this matter would really be difficult to handle today.”
Although most of the people who spoke up had conflicts with Li Chunhua, they still helped her anyway.
Ye Linlin bowed to everyone gratefully and thanked them. She also silently remembered the few people who had spoken just now.
“It’s okay, we just can’t stand her. But girl, you’re really smart. I’m leaving, I have to hurry back to make lunch.”
Wang Yun waved her hand and took the lead in leaving the Ye family’s door. The others also said hello and left.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Quangui and Su Chenghuai saw a group of people dispersing from their door as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, and hurriedly quickened their pace to rush back. The two entered the yard and saw Liu Xihong and Ye Linlin standing at the door of the house.
The mother and daughter were about to enter the house when they heard Ye Quangui’s voice. They turned around and saw Su Chenghuai was a little out of breath. Ye Linlin turned around and went into the house to pour a cup of spiritual water and handed it to him.
Su Chenghuai’s breathing immediately stabilized after drinking the spiritual water. Ye Quangui snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Ye Linlin’s differential treatment.
Embarrassedly sticking out her tongue, Ye Linlin quickly went into the house again, poured a cup, and handed it to Ye Quangui.
Looking at Ye Linlin’s quirky appearance, Su Chenghuai’s eyebrows and eyes softened a bit.
“Linlin, this water you make is really good stuff.”
Ye Quangui took the water and drank it all in one gulp, instantly feeling much lighter.
“What happened just now? Why were there so many people again?”
Recently, their family was simply the center of the village’s gossip, one thing after another.
Liu Xihong briefly told the story, scolding Li Chunhua for being shameless, and also mentioned the few people who helped today to Ye Quangui.
“They really aren’t a family if they don’t enter the same door!”
Ye Quangui was talking about Li Chunhua and Bai Ni’s father, Bai Er. Bai Er was a well-known rascal in the surrounding villages, and he was also known for bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He didn’t dare to fart when he met someone powerful.
“How did you hurt your arm?”
Ye Linlin didn’t expect Su Chenghuai’s focus to be on her arm, and she was a little excited in her heart.
Which girl doesn’t like being cared for?
Looking at Ye Quangui and Liu Xihong also looking at her with concern, Ye Linlin suddenly felt that transmigrating might really be a good thing.
“It’s okay, I accidentally scratched it when I went up the mountain a few days ago. It’s not serious, it didn’t bleed much, it’s just that the scab looks scary.”
Ye Cheng came back just before lunch.
“I just went to find Shengzi and the others and found that the rumors in the village have changed recently. Now they all say that our old Ye family has found a good son-in-law who is willing to be responsible for Linlin’s reputation and has also taken out a sky-high bride price. But something else was spread this morning.”
He paused deliberately. Not hearing anyone ask, Ye Cheng didn’t feel embarrassed and continued, “Someone said that Bai Ni had a boyfriend in the town a few years ago, whose family was in good condition. The two of them rolled in the hay, and someone from another village saw them. A few days ago, this person from another village heard about Bai Ni and Wang Junbao and remembered what happened back then.”
Ye Linlin didn’t expect that there would be such a thing. She thought that Bai Ni’s boyfriend in the rumors should be Wang Jiahao, but she really didn’t know that the two had rolled in the hay.
She wouldn’t use this to continue to slander and spread rumors about Bai Ni, nor would she sympathize with her. This was all her doing many unrighteous deeds and destroying herself.
Over there, Liu Xihong was still commenting on the news that Ye Cheng brought back. Ye Linlin still felt a little sleepy, so she turned around and returned to her room, took out her water bottle, and planned to drink some spiritual water to relieve herself.
Just as she unscrewed the lid of the water bottle, the door was knocked. Ye Linlin reluctantly opened the door.
Su Chenghuai was standing at the door.
Although Su Chenghuai didn’t have much expression on his face, Ye Linlin still caught a hint of worry in his eyes.
Was he worried about her?
As she got to know Su Chenghuai, Ye Linlin found that this man was really careful and thoughtful.
“Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to see a doctor?”
Su Chenghuai’s words confirmed Ye Linlin’s guess. He had indeed noticed her discomfort and was concerned about her.
Ye Linlin smiled and refused Su Chenghuai’s kindness.
“It’s okay, Brother Su, I just didn’t sleep well last night. I don’t need to see a doctor. What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll make it for you.”
“Then you should sleep for a while. I’ll make lunch.”
Ye Linlin didn’t expect Su Chenghuai to know how to cook.
