Douya blushed with joy. Tang Zhiqing was so considerate; he had never met a more considerate man than Tang Zhiqing.
Even when her father was still alive, he never cared for her like Tang Zhiqing did.
Thinking about how the candy had punctured a large hole in Tang Zhiqing's clothes, Douya's face turned pale. However, she couldn't hide it any longer, and Douya hesitated:
"Tang Zhiqing, there's something I want to tell you!"
Tang Zixuan was incredibly annoyed. Who wanted to stand in the cold wind and listen to a village girl talk? But Douya was still useful. Tang Zixuan suppressed his anger:
"Just say what you need, don't be so polite with me!"
Bean Sprout felt even more guilty, and she lowered her head:
"Tang Zhiqing, when I was washing clothes just now, Tangkuai came over and poked a hole in your clothes with a twig. Don't be angry, I'll definitely scold him later!"
Tang Zixuan's expression changed, and he said urgently:
"The clothes are torn? Which one is torn? How can you not even do such a small thing right!"
Tang Zixuan walked to the washbasin in a few steps and saw that the front of his best military green shirt had been punctured with a long tear.
Tang Zixuan kicked the laundry tub twice in anger, causing it to tip over and spill water onto the floor.
Bean Sprout was so frightened she didn't dare move, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Tang Zhiqing, I didn't mean to, I wasn't expecting the candy when it came over..."
Tang Zixuan interrupted her:
"Alright, alright, stop making excuses. The clothes got damaged while you were in their care, so you'd better pay for them."
This shirt wasn't cheap, and Tang Zixuan didn't care whether Douya washed it for him or not; he had to make Douya pay for it!
Bean sprouts are unbelievable:
"Tang Zhiqing, I was just trying to help you wash your clothes, how can you make me pay for it?"
Tang Zixuan said fiercely:
"I asked you to help me wash the clothes, but didn't I help you with other chores too? I didn't fetch the water myself."
"What's the use of saying all this? This dress is a ready-made garment that I bought in Beijing. It cost me 15 yuan for five feet of fabric. You need to compensate me right now!"
Five feet of cloth for 15 yuan? Bean Sprout's eyes widened in disbelief. How could it be so expensive? That's more than her family earns in a year from the farm's work points!
Her mother's red dress, which was kept at the bottom of her trunk, only cost 9 feet of fabric and 9 yuan!
The bean sprouts hunched their necks:
"Tang Zhiqing, I can't afford to pay for it, I really can't afford to pay for it..."
Tang Zixuan was so angry he wanted to beat up Douya, but he didn't dare. Douya was timid, but Aunt Wang was no pushover.
It's not that Aunt Wang cares much about the bean sprouts, but she's sure she'll use his bean sprout harvesting as an excuse to extort money from him, which would be a huge loss for him!
You can't hit her, and scolding her only makes her angrier. As for making her pay compensation, she simply can't afford it.
As for seeking compensation from Aunt Wang, Tang Zixuan quickly realized it wouldn't work.
Given how unreasonable and argumentative Wang Da Niang is, we should turn the tables and demand payment from her for washing his clothes with bean sprouts!
Tang Zixuan stomped his foot angrily, stepping right into the water spilled from the laundry tub, splashing water everywhere.
Tang Zixuan glared fiercely at Douya, then turned and walked away. Tang Zixuan took large strides, and the ground was slippery, so Tang Zixuan fell to the ground with a "thud".
Bean Sprout, in her haste to save her, lunged forward and landed squarely on Tang Zixuan's lap. A "crack" was heard, and Tang Zixuan screamed loudly.
"Ahhh~"
The horrifying scream startled Tang Zixuan, who had been hiding to the side to exchange candies with Zhong Wanwan later.
It was terrifying; Tang Zhiqing screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Bean Sprout's face turned pale, and she touched Tang Zixuan's leg with heartache:
"Tang Zhiqing, where are you hurt? Let me see quickly!"
Tang Zixuan shoved the bean sprout aside, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain:
"It's all your fault for pressing it down! You little devil, what's the use of showing you this? Hurry up and call the clinic and the village doctor!"
Douya hurriedly got up, looked at the disheveled Tang Zixuan, and wanted to help him up first, but was afraid that Tang Zixuan would scold her again, so she turned around and ran to the clinic.
Tang Zixuan shouted loudly:
"Where are you going? Help me to a dry place first, then you can go!"
Bean Sprout was running fast and was so focused on calling the village doctor that she didn't hear Tang Zixuan at all.
Tang Zixuan tried twice, but dared not put any force on his legs. Not only did he fall back down, but he also caused secondary damage to his legs.
Tang Zixuan was so angry that he cursed and wished he could tear the bean sprouts apart with his bare hands.
Bean Sprout ran to the clinic and dragged the village doctor, Old Man Wu, there.
When Old Man Wu heard that someone had fallen and gotten hurt, he was quite anxious. But when he found out it was Tang Zixuan, he was no longer worried!
Of all the educated youth in the village, Old Man Wu looked down on Tang Zixuan the most. It's not like Tang Zixuan is dead; why is he in such a hurry about breaking his leg?
Bean Sprout walked ahead, urging Old Man Wu:
"Grandpa Wu, Tang Zhiqing is in a lot of pain. She screamed so hard her voice cracked. Hurry up!"
Old Wu, unhurriedly:
"At my age, I need to walk slowly. If I fall, you'll be responsible!"
Bean sprout... you're going too slow, even a turtle would be caught in your trap!
Bean sprouts grit their teeth:
"Grandpa Wu, let me help you so you won't fall and you can walk faster."
Old Wu glanced at his own height, which was less than 1.5 meters, and grimaced.
"Come on, with your small frame, I wouldn't dare let you support me. You might really hurt me!"
However, annoyed by the bean sprouts' urging, Old Man Wu sped up a bit.
The two of them dawdled, well, mainly because Old Wu dawdled, and it took them ten minutes to reach the well.
At this moment, Tang Zixuan was half-soaked and had been lying on the ground for more than ten minutes, his lips turning purple from the cold!
Old Wu first examined his legs, then shook his head:
"You've broken a bone; that's not easy to treat, and you might end up lame!"
Tang Zixuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and exclaimed:
"Then hurry up and get treatment, what are you waiting for?"
Old Wu glared at him:
"Who are you yelling at? Don't you want treatment anymore?!"
"If you don't want me to treat you, then hurry up and have someone take you to the county hospital. But if your bones get dislocated or something from the bumpy ride, that has nothing to do with me!"
Upon hearing that his bones were dislocated, Tang Zixuan dared not say another word and humbled himself to plead with Old Man Wu:
"It hurts so much! I apologize for my bad attitude earlier. Please take a good look at me, I don't want to be crippled!"
Old Wu's expression softened, and he instructed Bean Sprout:
"Quickly call a few strong young men to carry him on a cart to my clinic. I need to set his bones!"
Bean Sprout wiped away her tears, wanting to ask for help, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't think of anyone. She looked up blankly:
"Who should I ask for help? I don't know!"
Tang Zixuan was so angry he almost fell over. Who wouldn't lend a hand in something like this? How could Douya be so brainless?
Old Wu sighed helplessly:
"Go find Director Wei and tell him that Tang, the educated youth, broke his leg. He'll know what to do!"
