The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

207 Crippled

Li Yu tied Squire Hu and the servants with a rope. Then she picked up the dead guard and threw him onto the carriage.

A few villagers carried the dog away. The other villagers ran to Squire Hu and the servants. Some kicked and spat, venting their anger.

Li Yu looked at the sky and said to Li Qing, “It’s getting late. If we rush to the county city, the city gates will probably be closed. Let’s go and see if there are any abandoned houses in the village. Lock them up first and report them to the government office tomorrow morning!”

Chen Shi nodded and said, “Madam Li, the village chief’s house and Chen Gui’s house are just ahead. Why don’t we lock them up at the village chief’s house!”

Li Yu nodded and said, “Alright.”

The old woman who had complained about Li Yu previously walked up to Li Yu and bowed awkwardly to her. “Xiaoyu! Don’t hold it against me! The Hu family is too bad. We’re just too afraid.”

Li Yu smiled faintly. “What’s there to fuss about? I don’t remember you telling me anything!”

Xu Bin and more than ten villagers surrounded Li Yu and bowed. “Xiaoyu! Our fields have been occupied by the Hu family. Please help us get our fields back! Please, Xiaoyu!”

Li Yu looked at the villagers who were bowing to her and nodded. “Which family’s fields were snatched away? Bring your title deed and credentials and get Ah Qing to help you write the complaint. We’ll send them to the government office tomorrow!”

Xu Bin and the villagers did not expect Li Yu to agree to help them so easily. They bowed excitedly and said, “Xiaoyu! Ah Qing! Thank you. We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives!”

When Yu Niang heard this, she curled her lips and said, “My Madam and Young Master Ah Qing are kind-hearted and won’t expect you to remember their kindness! I just hope that you won’t fall out with us if things don’t go well!”

Xu Bin blushed and said, “No, what’s the difference between us and the Hu family if we do that!”

Yu Niang glanced at Xu Bin. “It’s hard to predict people’s hearts. Who knows!”

Li Yu saw that Xu Bin and the others were blushing and looking awkward. She smiled at Yu Niang and said, “Alright, Yu Niang, go back with Ah Qing and call Master Xu and his brother over. Bring blankets and a tent. They and Ah Qing will stay at the village head’s house tonight.”

“Yes, Madam.” Yu Niang bent her knees and agreed. She and Li Qing drove Minister Hu’s carriage towards the town.

The villagers dragged Squire Hu and the servants up from the ground and pulled the rope towards the village chief’s house. Xu Bin chased after the carriage containing the guard’s corpse and went to the village chief’s house.

Li Qing used a machete to break the lock on the door and got someone to drag Squire Hu and the servants into the courtyard.

Li Yu saw that the servants who had been slashed and stabbed by Li Qing were still bleeding non-stop and thought to herself that it won’t be long before these people die from excessive blood loss. Since their crimes didn’t warrant death, she would let them live.

Li Yu walked into the house and took out the Golden Creation Medication from her space. She brought it to the courtyard and said to the Chen brothers, “Uncle Chen, please apply the Golden Creation Medication on those people.”

Chen Shan looked at Li Yu and said, “Madam Li, these people are not good people. They don’t show mercy when beating people up. Why should we save them!”

Li Yu said indifferently, “Forget it! They’re still so young and haven’t committed any heinous crimes. Let them live!”

“Alright, I’ll listen to Madam.” Chen Shi took the golden medicine and walked up to the servants. He muttered, “Madam Li is so kind-hearted. She even used medicine to save you. In my opinion, you should all die! I hope you won’t do bad things and harm others in the future!”

The few of them looked up at Li Yu and lowered their heads, letting the Chen brothers nag at them while applying the medication.

Li Yu sat on a bamboo chair under the eaves of the corridor and looked at the weeds growing in the courtyard. She fell into deep thought!

Squire Hu’s wife brought Hu San to Qingshan City and got a servant to report to her daughter at the county office. She brought Hu San to a medical center called Huichun Hall. She shouted at the physician who was taking his patient’s pulse, “Physician, quickly take a look at my son. Can this hand still be treated? My son still has to participate in the imperial examination to bring honor to his ancestors!”

The physician frowned and glanced at Hu San and his mother. He did not say anything and continued to take the patient’s pulse. The shopkeeper hurriedly walked forward and said with a smile, “Madam, Physician Yang is treating someone. Please wait for a moment!”

Madam Hu glared at him, pushed the shopkeeper away, and shouted, “My son’s hand is broken, how can it not be serious?”

The shopkeeper looked at Physician Yang and said, “Physician Yang, are you done?”

Physician Yang nodded. After writing down the prescription and handing it to the patient, he walked up to Hu San and picked up his hand. “It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!” Hu San shouted.

“Physician, please be gentle! My son is crying in pain!” Madam Hu hurriedly coaxed Hu San. Physician Yang examined Hu San’s hand without changing his expression and shook his head. “His bones are shattered and can’t be treated. He can only be treated with some medication to stop the pain!”

Madam Hu pushed the doctor away and asked sternly, “Nonsense, do you know how to diagnose conditions? How can it not be cured?”

Physician Yang glanced at her. “You don’t know anything. You should find someone else!”

Hu San was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. He shouted at Madam Hu, “Mother, I’m dying of pain! Let the physician stop the pain first!”

“Alright! Alright! Stop the pain first!” Physician Yang wrote a prescription and handed it to the shopkeeper. “Take it and apply the medication!”

The shopkeeper brought Hu San to the inner hall to apply the medication. At this time, a charming woman of about 16 or 17 years old brought two old women into the medical center. Madam Hu pounced over, grabbed the woman’s hand, and cried, “Feng’er, your brother’s hand was broken by someone. He can’t be treated anymore. What should we do? Let our son-in-law catch the bitch who stepped on your brother!”

When the two old women heard this, they curled their lips and thought to themselves, What son-in-law! She’s just a concubine. What kind of relative is she? We’ll let you be arrogant for a few days. When Madam comes, you’ll suffer!

“Do you think I’m Madam Zheng? I’m just a concubine you gave to someone!” Hu Feng’er criticized silently. She looked at Madam Hu in annoyance and said patiently, “Mother! Don’t cry. Let’s talk when Brother’s treatment is done.”

Hu San was crying and howling in pain inside. Finally, the physician finished applying the medication. Hu Feng’er brought Madam Hu into the carriage. Hu Feng’er said to Madam Hu, “Mother, you should also control Ah San. He should not tease innocent women anymore. Master just scared the complainer away two days ago. Why is it this time? If you continue like this, Master will get tired of me sooner or later!”

Madam Hu smiled ingratiatingly. “Feng’er, tell him that this is the last time. In the future, I promise to control your brother and not let him go out and cause trouble again. Your brother was watching those long-term workers work in the field this time. It’s that bitch who came to provoke your brother. You can’t blame us! You have to know that you only have this brother!”

Hu Feng’er sighed and said, “Alright! You guys go back first! I’ll go back and talk to Master!”
