Before Shitou's father could speak, Aunt Zhang continued, "Your mother always takes advantage of others, and everyone just turns a blind eye. But now she's learned to blackmail others. We can't let this go. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will suffer the consequences."
"Zhang, stop talking nonsense here. How did I blackmail anyone? When I heard and saw them, wasn't it reasonable for me to be suspicious?"
"Really? Then have you asked your grandson? Was it someone else who did it, or did he fall down on his own?" Aunt Zhang didn't believe what Shitou said. If she was just suspicious, she would definitely ask Shitou first, instead of immediately blaming Yunbei and Fuguang.
"Me?" Grandma Shitou's face flushed a little. She naturally hadn't asked that question.
Seeing her like this, everyone understood everything, and looked at her with even more contempt.
Naturally, Shitou's father also felt everyone's contemptuous gazes. His face flushed slightly. He turned to look at his son and asked, "Shitou, tell me what's going on?"
Shitou was a little afraid of his father. He heard the anger in his father's voice and his body trembled.
Shitou's mother looked at her son's frightened expression and felt unhappy. She glared at her husband and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly? You scared our son."
After that, she coaxed Shitou gently and asked in a gentle tone: "Shitou, tell mom what happened? Did you fall by yourself, or was it someone else who hurt you?"
"Me?" Shitou didn't know whether to tell the truth or not. He was worried that if he told the truth, his grandmother would be angry. But if he didn't tell the truth, he was also worried that his father would be angry. So, for a moment, he was very conflicted.
"What do you mean 'I'? Hurry up and tell me." Shi Tou's father was a little impatient, especially when he was being stared at by everyone. He was in a bad mood, so his tone was naturally bad as well.
But when he urged her like that, Shitou burst into tears. She was even out of breath from the fear she felt.
Seeing Shitou crying without saying a word, everyone's expressions were a little strange. Before, they'd only thought Shitou's grandmother was not so good, while everyone else was just okay. Now, it was the same: bad bamboo can't produce good bamboo shoots; they were all the same.
Everyone looked unhappy, and Shi Tou's father was even more embarrassed.
Aunt Zhang didn't care about the expressions or thoughts of Shitou's family. She said directly, "We have a witness. Whether Shitou speaks or not won't change anything. Yunbei and Fuguang were just kind enough to pass by and heard Shitou crying and wanted to help him."
Then, she said to everyone, "It's alright, let's all go. Yunbei has to go to work this afternoon, so go back and have dinner. You don't have to worry about what's going on here."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. Fu Guang and I will go back first."
"Go back, go back." Aunt Zhang waved her hand, signaling Yunbei to leave.
After Yunbei left, Aunt Zhang looked at Shitou's father and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just shook her head and left.
Soon, Shitou's family was the only ones left in the infirmary. Shitou's father looked at his child who had stopped crying and wanted to scold him, but his mother and wife were staring at him with murderous eyes, so he said nothing in the end.
"Doctor Zhou, how much are the medical expenses?" Shitou's father asked. Since Shitou's injury wasn't serious, his family would have to pay for the medical expenses.
"One dollar." Doctor Zhou replied, took the money handed over by Shi Tou's father and put it in the drawer.
Afterwards, he gave a few more instructions before letting the Shitou family leave.
On the way home, Granny Shitou kept complaining. She blamed Aunt Zhang for meddling in their affairs, forcing them to pay for their own affairs, and she also blamed her son for getting involved and not being able to help at all.
As for her daughter-in-law, she cursed her even more, saying that she was useless and couldn't even fart.
Doctor Zhou listened to the distant curses and shook his head speechlessly. He thought, no wonder Yunbei didn't treat Shitou's wound. This family is really hard to describe.
Back in Yunbei, she took Fuguang home. Suddenly, the boy said, "Sister, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't meddled in your affairs, you wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble. Luckily, Grandma Zhang helped us, otherwise we wouldn't have known when we could have gotten away."
"Fu Guang, this is not your fault. You are kind, which is a good thing. However, sometimes kindness may not be rewarded, so our kindness must have an edge."
"Sister, I don't understand. Mingming, Shitou was injured, and we wanted to help him. But why did his grandmother blame us and even extort money from us? Did we help someone wrongly?"
"Fuguang, people are different. Some are grateful, while others are ungrateful. You can't assume that all people are ungrateful just because you met one ungrateful person. There are good and bad people, and all we have to do is act according to our conscience and have a clear conscience. If you meet someone in need, you should help them."
"Sister, I understand." Fu Guang nodded, not quite understanding. Although he still didn't quite understand what his sister meant, it was always right to listen to her.
Because they wasted a lot of time, the food they got was a little cold, so Yunbei had to heat it up in the pot.
Originally, they could have taken a break after dinner, but now they couldn't rest anymore, so after dinner, the two of them rode their bikes back to Yang Village.
As for Old Man Hu, he asked around in the county town. In addition to finding out that Yun Bei had good medical skills, he also found out that the reason she left the hospital was because she offended someone.
This news made Old Man Hu feel a little relieved. Otherwise, he was really afraid that Yunbei was coming for him.
He already knew what was happening in the provincial capital, so he had been staying at home as much as possible recently. He wouldn't even leave the house unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, he didn't want to be like those people, going to jail and eating peanuts.
After finding out the news, Old Man Hu went to buy some things and then swaggered back to the village.
After returning to the village, he put his things away and checked his house again. Only after making sure that there was nothing missing did he feel relieved.
Yunbei didn't know that Old Man Hu was so vigilant. She was thinking about how to find out Old Man Hu's identity as soon as possible.
There are quite a few things in her space, such as recorders, eavesdropping devices, etc. But how can she put these things on Old Man Hu, or in his house?
Although she had only come into contact with Old Man Hu once, she found him to be a very vigilant person. If those things were to appear in his home or on his body, it would definitely alert him and make him wary.
Therefore, she had to think of a way to put the thing on the other person's body or home without anyone noticing.
