Chapter 513 I've had enough

Lin Yuesha fell silent after hearing this. It seemed she should stand up and not tolerate those shameless people, otherwise who knows how many more families would suffer tragedies.

Twenty taels of silver buys absolutely nothing of value; it's no longer a question of whether it's a loss or not.

"She's awake! Dazhu's wife isn't dead, she's awake!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and the pot immediately started boiling.

"Excuse me, I need to go in and check the situation."

Lin Yuesha was not tall, and as she squeezed into the crowd, some people stepped aside, but she squeezed through the gaps and stood at the door of Dazhu's wife's house.

Dazhu, who had assaulted the man, had been tied up by his neighbors, while his wife lay in a puddle in the yard, the muddy water beneath her stained with blood.

"White Tea, let's stop her bleeding first."

Lin Yuesha didn't know anything about medicine, but she learned some things at the girls' school, especially how to treat wounds, which was taught by Doctor Yan.

"Miss, Dazhu's wife is the woman we saw in the shop who came to buy perfume."

Bai Cha's eyes reddened. Da Zhu's wife was in such a sorry state. How much strength did it take to tear her clothes to pieces? There were also broken pieces of wood from a bench in the yard.

The man named Dazhu was still shouting, while his concubine watched from the side, occasionally making sarcastic remarks.

"Husband, look how lucky my sister is, she's still alive."

The concubine fiddled with her nails, completely unconcerned about the current situation. Da Zhu's wife was on her deathbed, her eyes filled only with indifference and schadenfreude.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I couldn't help myself."

Bai Cha was furious. Putting aside the question of who was right and who was wrong, such disregard for life was truly heartless.

"We'll talk about the beating when we get back. First, get her a doctor and have him come and treat her."

Lin Yuesha wasn't familiar with the area, so she gave Bai Cha some silver. Bai Cha was clever; she gave the old woman who had just spoken to her a copper coin and asked her to lead the way.

Not far from the alley, there was a clinic. About fifteen minutes later, an old man came running over with a medicine box on his back.

"Doctor, my family has no money. If you treat her, be careful not to not get paid."

After the concubine finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Yuesha and said, "Tsk tsk, there are still kind people these days, like a dog chasing a mouse."

"White Tea, beat her up."

Lin Yuesha gave the order: this kind of ruthless and foul-mouthed person should be taught a lesson, beaten hard, crippled so she can spend money on medical treatment.

After Lin Yuesha finished speaking, she said to the old doctor, "What medicines to use and how to treat it, please prescribe whatever you need. Money is no object."

Having been swindled out of two hundred taels by a conman, of course the money should be spent on the victim.

After taking her pulse, the old doctor shook his head and said a lot of things, which Lin Yuesha translated herself, but it seemed to indicate that the condition was quite serious.

"Mother, mother!"

Just then, two thin, pale-faced children ran up from the alleyway. Their eyes looked big because they were so thin, and they were practically skin and bones.

Look at this family, their conditions aren't that bad, but the concubine is full, while Dazhu's wife is about the same as the women who do odd jobs, and the two little children are pitiful.

"Give me back my mother!"

The girl knelt on the ground crying, while the boy raised his little fists to hit his father. However, although Dazhu was tied up, he could move one leg. He stretched out his leg and kicked the little boy several meters away.

The little boy rolled around on the ground several times before finally managing to stand up, trying his best to hold back his tears.

Does it hurt?

Lin Yuesha helped him brush the dust off his clothes and asked.

"pain."

The little boy looked at Lin Yuesha and thought, "What a beautiful older sister! She speaks so gently, like a fairy descended from heaven."

"Then why don't you cry?"

"My mother said that I am a little man and I cannot cry."

The little boy was only five or six years old, or maybe a little older. He wiped his red eyes with his sleeve and said, "Fairy sister, I didn't cry."

"I know you're a little man."

Lin Yuesha patted his shoulder, then gave the doctor some instructions, and first prescribed medicine for Dazhu's wife.

After waiting a moment, the constables from the Jingzhao Yin's office arrived, and Dazhu immediately shouted, "Officers, look how arrogant they are! They're abusing their power and tying me up!"

"What happened?"

The constable looked around and his gaze lingered on Lin Yuesha's face. This young lady looked somewhat like the adult.

A kind-hearted person spoke up and immediately explained what had happened.

"Dazhu is going to kill someone."

"Bullshit! This stupid woman borrowed twenty taels of silver. Shouldn't she be beaten? Besides, she's not dead. Stop spouting nonsense."

Dazhu cursed loudly, claiming that his wife had done something stupid and that he was teaching her a lesson.

The government doesn't usually get involved in ordinary family matters, unless someone dies in the process.

The constables were quite unhappy about having gone through all that trouble for nothing.

"Officer, he almost beat someone to death, are you just going to let this go like this?"

Lin Yuesha was stunned. Domestic violence! This was domestic violence!

Yes, she forgot that in this day and age, it's common for men to beat their wives. The police treat it as a family matter and won't interfere.

What can we do? At most, we can only exchange a few words.

"Who are you? What are you doing meddling in my family's affairs?"

Seeing Lin Yuesha's extravagant spending, having just handed the doctor money without batting an eye, Dazhu wondered if he could swindle some money from her.

Since she wants to be a helpful person, then let's give her the money and return the twenty taels that his wife borrowed.

"Shut up! Do you even have the right to speak to me?"

Lin Yuesha glared, her imposing aura instantly intimidating Dazhu, who shrank back in fear.

"Miss, you are..."

The constables didn't recognize Lin Yuesha, but judging from her attire, she didn't seem to be from an ordinary family, and she looked like the adults, so they might be related.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Yuesha squatted down and looked directly at Dazhu's wife, who had just woken up. If some women don't wake up, then she's just playing the villain for nothing.

"Tell me what you want to do, and maybe I can help."

Lin Yuesha asked Dazhu's wife if she thought she was meddling in other people's business, and she would leave immediately, leaving some money for the medicine, which would be more than enough.

“Miss, you are a kind person. If you don’t mind, I would like to…”

She wanted to recover her health and then find a job. She sold herself into servitude with her two children. Even if she became a servant, what could she do? She would have a stable place to live, wouldn't worry about gossip, and wouldn't be bullied.

She'd had enough after all these years.

When her parents were alive, her husband was alright, but now that the family is gone and her brother and sister-in-law are not in the capital, Dazhu has become even more outrageous, taking a concubine and spending his days indulging in her company, neglecting the lives of his children.

At first, she thought Dazhu was blinded by greed and would eventually change for the better, but year after year, things have turned out this way.

It turns out she was the one blinded by greed; she had expectations, so...

The twenty taels of silver were borrowed from various sources, and she would repay the money herself. The best way would be to sell herself into slavery, but her body still needed recuperation, and she could not immediately repay Lin Yuesha for the medicine.
