Soon, Wan Niang was supported by her youngest son and Ali and returned home.
The three of them were walking in front, and Li Xinheng caught up with them.
"Aunt Wanniang." Li Xinheng called out, and asked with concern, "How is the young lady?"
Wan Niang frowned and said, "I'm so heartbroken that you're injured." After a pause, she asked solemnly, "Xin Heng, have you lent your ox cart to the Hu family?"
Li Xinheng said anxiously, "Auntie, how could I possibly lend the ox cart to the Hu family? Wouldn't that be helping the Hu family kidnap the girl?"
"Where did the ox cart driven by Hu Xingwang come from?" Wan Niang couldn't help but wonder.
Li Xinheng: "It belongs to the village head's family. My family and the village head's family are the only ones in our village who raise cattle."
Upon hearing this, Wan Niang had an idea in her mind. It turned out that the village head was in collusion with the Hu family.

As the sky gradually darkened, Yan Funing stroked her legs and feet, which were wrapped in cold cotton towels. "I was thinking of making some crispy spareribs for everyone to try."
As he spoke, he struggled to get up.
He was held down by Fu Ciyi.
"Nan Yao, go cook." He instructed his sister while he took care of Yan Funing in the room.
"Okay, I don't know how to cook spare ribs, so I'll just steam some simple dishes." Fu Nanyao agreed and limped to the kitchen.
At this time, Wan Niang came back.
She first went to the west wing and touched Yan Funing's little face. She felt that she was in good condition and felt relieved.
Li Xinheng stood at the door: "Girl, how are your legs?"
Yan Funing did not hide it from him: "It will probably take some time to recuperate."
"From now on, wherever the girl goes, she has to ask someone to follow her." Li Xinheng clenched his fists.
Fu Ciyi came over and patted his shoulder.
After the two of them talked for a few words in the yard, Li Xinheng went home.
Night falls and the lights come on.
Fu Nanyao called everyone to eat.
Fu Ciyi said to Yan Funing on the bed, "I'll bring you the food."
Yan Funing supported herself on the bed with both hands and sat up: "I still have one leg that can be used. I'll jump over there."
Then he started to get dressed.
Fu Ciyi waited quietly for her to put on her clothes, and just before her uninjured foot touched the ground, he carried her sideways and carried her out of the house.
Yan Funing's eyes widened in shock: "Just help me walk, there's no need to hold me like this."
I feel strangely uncomfortable.
Fu Ciyi lowered his eyes and glanced at her without saying a word.
Fortunately, her family members didn't react unusually when he hugged her like that.
Yan Funing didn't think much about it and let him put her on the chair.
Fu Beimo pointed to the shoulder pole in the corner of the room and began to talk about how powerful his brother was when he swung the shoulder pole.
Only then did Yan Funing realize that Fu Ciyi had broken Hu Dahai's leg.
Ali told the news he had found out: "His family hired a doctor and had his bones fixed. He can have some peace and quiet for the next few months."
"Serves you right!" Fu Nanyao said angrily, and then asked, "Did sister-in-law push Hu Ajing into the river?"
Yan Funing said frankly: "I pushed her, and she grabbed my face."
Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo said in unison: "It should be pushed!"
Wan Niang said, "Eat, everyone, eat." She fumbled to pick up some food for Yan Funing, "Son, eat more. You need to eat more when you're injured!"
"Well, thank you, mother!" Yan Funing nodded.
--
It's late at night.
Before going to bed, Yan Funing wanted to take a bath.
But her legs and feet were so weak that she was afraid she couldn't bring water, so she could only speak hesitantly: "I didn't wash last night, and I want to wash properly today. Fu Ciyi, can you help me bring some water?"
Fu Ciyi didn't say anything. He picked up the wooden basin and left the house. He came back quickly with a basin of water.
"It's still hot, give it a try."
He helped her behind the curtain and pulled a chair next to the curtain, with clean clothes placed on the chair.
Yan Funing bent down and reached out to test the water temperature: "Thank you, the temperature is just right."
Fu Ciyi nodded lightly, took his clothes and went to wash up.
When he came back after washing in the cubicle, he could still hear the sound of water in the west wing.
He waited at the door.
When the sound of water died down, he knocked on the door.
Hearing the voice, Yan Funing quickly put on her clothes and then shouted, "I'm fine."
Fu Ciyi pushed the door open, put his changed clothes aside, lifted the curtain and carried the person to the bed.
Just as he was about to put her on the bed, Yan Funing grabbed his arm.
"Hmm?" His eyebrows moved slightly.
What does this mean?
A light blush crept up Yan Funing's face. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I want to go to the bathroom. Can you help me go?"
Fu Ciyi's ears immediately turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
After a slight pause, he asked, "Do you want me to carry you?"
Yan Funing shook her head like a rattle: "No need, just hold on to me."
Fu Ciyi clenched his fist and helped her over.
When they reached the toilet door, Yan Funing insisted on going in by herself: "I can just jump."
"Really?"
"Um."
Only then did he let go.
Yan Funing closed the door and hopped in on one foot.
He was waiting at the door.
When she came out and opened the door, she found him standing there.
"You, you won't be waiting here all the time, right?"
"Yeah." The man lowered his eyes, his ears slightly red, "I was worried you might fall in there."
Yan Funing was so embarrassed that she felt like dying.
It is said that people who practice martial arts have better hearing than ordinary people, so could he have heard something?
Fu Ciyi raised his eyelids, moved his arm under her eyelids, and let her hold it.
Yan Funing grabbed his arms with both hands, holding on tightly.
It's not because I was afraid of falling, but because I was really embarrassed just now.
To ease her embarrassment, he said, "You owe me a purse." Glancing at her blushing face, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, "You touched me last night."
