"Could someone please... take me to the medical station..." Li Hu wailed weakly.
These country folk were kind-hearted after all; a few men came out in no time and carried Li Hu to the medical station.
After the crowd dispersed, only the Zhou family, the Yu family, and the team leader remained at the scene.
The captain looked at Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli with a stern face.
Jiang Ci shrugged lightly, "Captain, this really wasn't my fault."
"You'd better behave yourself!" The captain pointed at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci thought to herself: I've always been very well-behaved.
Zhou Mingli grasped Jiang Ci's arm and asked the captain, "Captain, is there something you need here?"
The captain couldn't have just wandered over to the Zhou family; he did have business with Zhou Mingli.

Sister-in-law Yu was certainly capable of working in the fields, and she would probably be busy these next few days. She quickly nodded, "Okay, no problem."
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ci said, "He'll go tomorrow morning, can I go there in the afternoon?"
The captain's eyebrows were about to rise, and he was about to get angry when Jiang Ci said, "I have to go to town. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing Jiang Ci's words, Zhou Mingli frowned almost imperceptibly.
