Only when those people know that she's terrifying even to herself when she's insane will they dare not provoke her again and will they fear her.

From then on, no one bullied her anymore. Her bad reputation even spread beyond the school, reaching different schools.

This must not be the first time they've dared to blatantly gang up on Meng Chuying.

Her parents have both passed away, so she has no one to sue. When she suffers injustice, there's no one to stand up for her.

Even if the children's parents were told, they would just think it was children playing around.

Cheng Qingyan opened the door, and Meng Sanbao and Meng Xiaodou's parents were also waiting outside. Only Meng Zixuan and his family were not there.

Meng Xinyu, who is also Meng Sanbao's father, saw Cheng Qingyan carrying Meng Chuying out and kicked Meng Sanbao in the leg, knocking him to the ground.

"You little brat, you've gotten quite bold, actually learning to bully people now. If anything happens to the young lady of the Meng family today, I'll beat you to death!"

Meng Sanbao lay on the ground, crying loudly.

Meng Xiaodou's father, Meng Pingkang, followed suit, and Meng Xiaodou also knelt on the ground and cried miserably.

Meng Sanbao's mother, Meng Houshi, stepped forward and handed over a piece of silver: "Cheng San, take this silver to treat Miss Meng's illness. My family doesn't have any more money right now. If it's not enough, we'll borrow more. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Miss Meng."

Meng Xiaodou's mother, Meng Chenshi, also handed over a piece of silver: "Cheng San, this is all I have. Take it and use it first. If it's not enough, we'll raise some more."

Cheng Qingyan turned to look at Ye Lingyu, who then took the silver.

Anxious, they went to see a doctor for Meng Chuying, and the village chief even brought their oxcart over.

"Cheng San, take the oxcart. We can talk about anything else after you've finished seeing the doctor."

A thick layer of straw was laid on the oxcart. Cheng Qingyan put Meng Chuying on it and turned to Meng Pingkang and Meng Xinyu, saying, "Shall we go together, you two?"

Meng Xinyu kicked her own child again. Meng Sanbao hadn't been crying much before, but this kick made him burst into tears again.

"Cheng San, I'll go with you. I'll drive the car."

Meng Xinyu led the old ox over, and Meng Pingkang followed.

"I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help. My wife, you take the child home first, and I'll deal with him when I get back!"

Meng Chuying is a girl who has recently become closer to Ye Lingyu. Ye Lingyu has also gotten on the oxcart to take care of her.

It takes at least an hour and a half to get from Mengjia Village to Shuanghe Village, and the journey is extremely bumpy.

Cheng Qingyan felt dizzy and lightheaded after being exposed to the wind.

She reached out to check her temperature, and lo and behold, she had a fever too.

"My wife, how much longer?"

An hour had passed, and her head felt incredibly heavy.

Ye Lingyu had been paying close attention to Meng Chuying's condition until Cheng Qingyan spoke up, at which point she realized that Cheng Qingyan was also sick.

"How are you?" she asked, reaching out to check Cheng Qingyan's forehead temperature.

Oh no! Cheng Qingyan has also developed a high fever!

He hurriedly said to the person driving the carriage, "Hurry! My husband also has a high fever!"

To make the ox run faster, Meng Xinyu jumped off the cart to lighten the load: "You go first, I'll catch up later!"

It was almost noon when we arrived at Shuanghe Village.

Upon finding the doctor's house, Cheng Qingyan dragged his heavy steps into the courtyard.

She didn't know what happened after that; she fell unconscious again.

Ye Lingyu was more panicked than ever before. Both of them were people she cared about, and either of them could get into trouble!

The doctor who examined them was a woman, not much older than Ye Lingyu.

She spoke gently: "Don't rush, lay the child flat on the bed, let me take a look at the child first."

Ruan Banxia took the pulse of the unconscious child. The high fever caused by the extreme cold had lasted for some time and needed to be brought down quickly.

Meng Xinyu also arrived and saw that Cheng Qingyan was also unconscious. At that moment, he suddenly didn't want to wake up anymore.

It's all the child's fault. I'll definitely give him a good talking to when we get back!

Ruan Banxia took Cheng Qingyan's pulse again, and after taking his pulse, she unexpectedly looked at Cheng Qingyan a couple more times.

"I need to administer acupuncture to both adults and children. Whose son is this?"

“It’s my family’s.” Ye Lingyu helped Cheng Qingyan up and leaned against her.

Meng Xinyu also came over to help: "Madam Cheng, let me help you support Cheng San."

Ye Lingyu reached out and stopped Meng Xinyu's outstretched hand: "No need. You guys go outside and wait."

There was also Meng Chuying, a young woman, inside who needed acupuncture, so it wasn't really convenient for the two men to be present.

"Alright, we'll stand guard outside. Call us if you need anything, we won't go far." With that, the two men left.

Ruan Banxia first performed acupuncture on Meng Chuying, and then went over to perform acupuncture on Cheng Qingyan, who was lying on the couch.

However, she did not strip Cheng Qingyan naked; she left her in a close-fitting undergarment and performed the needlework through it.

As Ruan Banxia picked up the needle, she heard Ye Lingyu thank her.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

As for what they should thank, they both knew perfectly well.

Ruan Banxia discovered that Cheng Qingyan was a woman.

Let alone being sick, even if you're not sick, no matter what your pulse is, it can't escape the doctor's notice.

"Madam Cheng? You stay here and watch over the two patients. If anyone wakes up, give them some warm water. The water is on the table; I'm going to brew their medicine."

"Okay. Thank you."

“My surname is Ruan, you can call me Dr. Ruan.”

"Alright, thank you very much, Dr. Ruan."

Fifteen minutes after Ruan Banxia left, Cheng Qingyan woke up.

Following Ruan Banxia's instructions, Ye Lingyu fed Cheng Qingyan half a bowl of warm water.

"How are you feeling? Where does it hurt?"

Cheng Qingyan's eyelids felt heavy, as if weighed down by a thousand pounds. She struggled to open them: "Wife? Cough cough cough, I'm alright. How is Meng Chuying?"

"She hasn't woken up yet. Doctor Ruan took her pulse and it seems she's alright. The medicine hasn't been decocted yet."

Medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine? My God!

Pure Chinese medicine! That must be so bitter it'll kill her! Is it too late to run away now?

Cheng Qingyan's brows were furrowed tightly. Ye Lingyu thought she was not feeling well, so she quickly asked her what was wrong.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little sleepy. My wife, don't worry too much."

Ruan Banxia brought in the decocted medicine and saw that Cheng Qingyan had already woken up.

Her pulse was better than that of the young lady; she should have woken up sooner.

"Drink this bowl of medicine as soon as you wake up. You'll feel much better after a good night's sleep."

Ruan Banxia handed over a large bowl of dark, murky herbal medicine. Cheng Qingyan, whose nose was already stuffy, could smell the bitterness throughout the room.

His face scrunched up: "Can I not drink it? I feel better now!"

Ruan Banxia smiled and handed the bowl of medicine to Ye Lingyu: "Madam Cheng, this bowl of medicine is yours now. Make sure she drinks it all!"
