A vegetable? We absolutely cannot let Rainbow Head become a vegetable, otherwise his family will definitely fight to the death, and Cha Cha will definitely be sent to a juvenile detention center by the other party.
Money and power are often omnipotent, and ordinary people living at the bottom of society are powerless to resist these two powerful forces.
"I'll cover the medical expenses for Zhang Shengli and Zhang Longfei. Now I need to go home. I want to thank you for what happened to Zhang Yu. It's all thanks to you all," Lin Xiazhu said sincerely.
"I don't deserve your thanks. I'm ashamed that I failed to protect Chacha and she's still locked up inside." Zhang Yu looked dejected; he felt utterly useless.
"Don't blame yourself, you've already done very well. This is just a calamity." It was Lin Xiaoxue who brought this calamity to their family. In her past life, she and the sisters had incompatible energies.
That's right, Lin Xiazhu harbors resentment towards Lin Xiaoxue, so she hasn't even glanced at her yet. That brat was lucky; she only suffered a superficial injury after hitting her head and passing out. Apart from a cut on her forehead, she had no other problems.
I heard she woke up a long time ago. Lin Xiazhu didn't want to see her. She only asked Zhao Ting to bring her food and didn't care about anything else. She said she would go home on her own if she wanted to. Lin Xiazhu was not going to invite her.
Yan Xin took Lin Taozi home first. The clothing store was closed today, and no one was in the mood to do business.
Zhao Ting came back with Lin Xiazhu. She had also helped fight last night, but unfortunately she was knocked unconscious with a punch before she could even get a chance to perform. When she woke up, she was in the hospital.
Xiao An's situation was even worse. He was originally with Lin Chacha and the others, but when they came out of the dance hall, Tie Zhu stopped him. For some reason, Tie Zhu suddenly wanted to chat with him.
"I don't have time right now. If you really want to talk, let's wait until I find Lin Xiaoxue," Xiao An said calmly.
"I'll go with you." Then Tie Zhu and Xiao An fell behind Lin Chacha and the others. By the time they caught up with them, the fight was already raging.
Xiao An was hit by an out-of-control motorcycle as soon as she walked over. Luckily, she only grazed her foot and got a deep cut on her calf, which bled quite a bit.
Lin Xiazhu told him to stay in the hospital for two days and be discharged if there were no problems.
Back home, Zhao Ting said angrily, "We were in the right. Those people tried to run us over with their bikes. We were acting in self-defense. Why didn't they lock up Rainbow Head's henchman but locked up Cha Cha? She's still a child."
"They have connections, but mainly there's a lack of evidence; it's all just hearsay." In this day and age, cameras are scarce, and the location where their conflict occurred was a remote place, with no other bystanders besides the parties involved.
So it's as if there were no witnesses. As for physical evidence, the scene was chaotic, and everyone's fingerprints were on the motorcycle. Besides, given the evidence collection technology in the county, it's best not to mention it.
"I found out that the fat woman's brother-in-law's family is very wealthy, one of the richest in the city. Her younger brother is the director of a department, with a lot of power. We've really messed up."
Yan Xin nervously rubbed her hands together. She had once stood at the top and knew best the power of authority and wealth.
It's really great to be rich and powerful, but once the roles are reversed, it can only be described with one word: "miserable".
"Our family's total assets, all in all, are probably only a little over 300,000 yuan, right?" That's assuming they both have their savings combined; even if they lost all their money, it would barely be enough.
Three hundred thousand is a huge sum of money these days, but unfortunately the other party is even richer and probably wouldn't even look at this amount of money.
“The one with money is that woman’s brother-in-law. Her family isn’t that wealthy. Maybe they can settle things by paying her 300,000 yuan.” Yan Xin made various analyses. For the first time, she felt the helplessness and despair of being a member of the lower class.
"Don't worry about the money yet. The most important thing is to keep Rainbow Head alive. It would be much easier if she woke up soon." Lin Xiazhu rushed back into the room, closed the door, and didn't come out for a long time.
Yan Xin: "..." Is this the kind of thing where you just want to sleep it off and wake up as if nothing happened?
"Is there a bad guy trying to harm my second sister? Don't we have enough money to save her? We need to find a way to earn money right now." Lin Taozi was panicked. She couldn't help, and she didn't know exactly what had happened. All she knew was that she had to save her second sister.
“This isn’t something that can be solved with money alone. Peach, you’re still young, don’t blame yourself. We adults will take care of any problems that arise,” Yan Xin comforted her.
“But my eldest sister is only fifteen years old. She was able to support the family when she was eight, and I’m already nine.” Lin Taozi was very distressed. She didn’t have her eldest sister’s abilities and couldn’t share the burden of the family.
Yan Xin: "..." Your eldest sister's actual age is over forty years old in total across both lifetimes, she's quite old.
Just as they were wondering how to explain their age to Lin Taozi, Lin Xiazhu came out of the room with a box in her hand. Without saying a word to them, she hurriedly went downstairs.
"What are you doing?" Yan Xin's eyes widened as she glanced at Zhao Ting, who was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.
Never mind, she'll go take a look.
When Yan Xin went downstairs to the kitchen, she found Lin Xiazhu brewing medicine—no, to be precise, preparing ginseng soup.
"At a time like this, you still have the mood to make ginseng soup? By the way, how many ginsengs do you have?" Yan Xin was dying of curiosity. In the past few years, Lin Xiazhu would occasionally take out a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to make chicken soup.
It's been many years since I've seen her take out ginseng. What is she doing now?
"Isn't Rainbow Head still wrestling with the King of Hell? To save his life, I have no choice but to risk everything." Lin Xiazhu looked at the wild ginseng that cost over three hundred yuan, her eyes filled with pain.
Actually, she also had a ginseng that was five or six hundred years old, but she couldn't bear to give it to Rainbow Head. Didn't the doctor say that even though he was out of danger, he might become a vegetable?
So she wants to keep the other ginseng to sell for money, so that she can continue to fight against his family. This ginseng, which is over 300 years old, is enough to keep him alive. Otherwise, if she sells the other ginseng, the money will probably all go towards his medical expenses.
"Do you think Cha Cha dug up Rainbow Head's grave in her past life, which is why she's been harmed like this by him in this life?" Lin Xiazhu said while tending the fire.
"Don't you know a lot about Cha Cha's past life? Don't you know whether she dug up other people's graves?" Yan Xin said expressionlessly.
Lin Xiazhu: "..." She choked to death.
Once the ginseng soup was ready, Lin Xiazhu immediately took it to the hospital, intending to force-feed it to Rainbow Head. No one saw her enter the ward, but unexpectedly, after she finished feeding Rainbow Head the ginseng soup, Rainbow Head's troublesome mother arrived, catching her red-handed.
"What have you done to my son? Help! Help! Doctor! Murder! Someone is trying to harm my son!" The woman was certain that Lin Xiazhu was trying to kill her son.
He grabbed Lin Xiazhu and made her leave, saying he was going to take her to the police station.
Lin Xiazhu chuckled. If she wanted to break free, it would be an easy thing to do. However, she hadn't done anything wrong, so she wasn't afraid of the doctor finding out.
Sure enough, half an hour later, after the doctor finished examining Rainbow Head, he looked at Lin Xiazhu with an extremely complicated expression, "You fed him a century-old ginseng, where did you find such a good thing?"
The first half of the sentence is affirmative, while the second half is curious.
