Chapter 191 A Near Miss
Cao scolded, "You took such good care of Shen Yi and married him such a good wife. Shen Yi even called you mother. If his parents knew about this, they would definitely bless you well!"
"Hahaha" Xu laughed happily and took the child from Cao's arms and held on to him tightly.
Wei Daya brought fresh hot goat milk, "Cousin, Chenxiang went to work next door. This is the goat milk I cooked. I added some sugar. Please try it."
Su Tai was helped up and finished the drink in two or three gulps. She said gratefully to the people in the room: "Thanks to everyone's help today. When Shen Yi comes back, I will let him thank you all."
Cao waved her hands, "Why thank you? We are from the same village. Why bother with all this at a time like this? Take good care of yourself and don't think too much. I'll come and see you in the morning. If you're fine, just take good care of yourself."
Originally, she didn't need to make another trip, but Su Tai gave birth suddenly this time, so she was somewhat worried.
Su Tai thanked him again, then lay down and fell asleep peacefully.
The town's medical clinic.
Shen Yi sat at the door with a cold face, and only stood up and greeted Liu Tiechui and his men when they hurried over, "Master Liu."
Liu Tiechui glanced inside, held Shen Yi with his backhand, and looked at him for a while, "Don't come with these empty formalities, how are you?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "I'm fine, the man is still inside."
Liu Tiechui breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with a stern face.
Doctor Li was busy running around with his apprentices.
After a long while, Liu Tiechui asked, "What's the situation with that person?"
Doctor Li replied, "He fell from a height. Fortunately, the snow has started to melt and the ground is soft. He slid down along the wall. His leg was broken and his head was cut. He lost too much blood. Everything else is fine. It's not serious."
"Cousin, cousin."
As soon as Doctor Li finished speaking, everyone saw another group of people coming outside the clinic.
Shen Wen came in hurriedly, and when he saw Shen Yi, he said anxiously: "Cousin, a bad guy broke into your house and almost hurt your cousin's wife. Fortunately, the three black dogs loyally protected their master and drove the bad guy away, but your cousin's wife was frightened and is about to give birth."
"What!" Shen Yi was shocked and rushed out without saying a word.
Shen Wen also wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Shen Zhuang, "What's the situation now?"
Shen Wen then remembered the dying villain on the ox cart and quickly asked someone to help.
Shen Yi rushed back home. It was already daybreak. There was no sound in the quiet yard. He suddenly panicked. "Xiao Tai, Xiao Tai..."
Xu came out from the main room and made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
Shen Yi immediately rushed over, "Second Aunt, where is Xiaotai? How is she?"
Xu pulled Shen Yi to stop her, "Don't worry, Xiaotai and the baby are fine. She just gave birth, both mother and baby are safe, and she hasn't woken up yet. Don't wake her up!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground.
At this time, Shen Yuezhang's crying sound came from the backyard. He quickly got up from the ground, rushed into the bedroom, took his crying daughter into his arms and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay."
These words seemed to be comforting the child, and also seemed to be comforting himself.
Xu followed into the room and coaxed the child with soft words, "Xiao Yuezhang, your parents are busy these days, can your aunt and your cousin come over to play with you?"
Shen Yuezhang stopped crying when he saw Shen Yi, and after hearing what Xu said, he asked innocently, "Where is my mother?"
Xu took the child and patiently explained, "Your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you, and she is in confinement now! Come on, let's get dressed and go eat. I'll take you to see your mother and brother later, okay?"
"Okay!" Shen Yuezhang was very excited and jumped up and down on the bed.
Shen Yi also calmed down.
After handing Shen Yuezhang over to Xu, he went to the front yard to see his wife and children.
He gently pushed the door open and bumped into Su Tai's bright eyes. He quickly went into the room, closed the door and said, "How is it? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Tai gave him a reassuring smile and couldn't wait to ask what happened in the early morning, "I'm fine. Do you know who those two criminals are?"
Chen Yi shook his head. "The person is still being treated. The one who fell from the wall lost too much blood and is not in danger of death. I didn't see the one who was sent over later. I will know about it when Second Uncle comes back."
Su Tai was still frightened. "Luckily we have three black dogs. If it weren't for them, my child and I would have been in great danger, as would my daughter who was sleeping in the backyard."
Su Tai was filled with resentment at the thought that her child might encounter an accident.
Shen Yi stepped forward and hugged her, "Don't worry, what happened today will never happen again, I promise!"
"Yeah." Su Tai leaned against him and shed two lines of tears.
The couple had a tacit understanding and were both thinking about how to make their home an impregnable fortress and how to protect their children.
At noon, Shen Yingcai returned with a group of villagers.
The group arrived at Shen Yi's house.
Second Aunt hurriedly brought out a large bowl of scallion and pork pot cakes and brown sugar and peanut pot cakes, and then brought out a large bowl of egg and lean meat dumplings, and invited everyone to start eating.
Everyone worked hard all night, so they didn't bother to be polite with Shen Yi and sat in the open space in the yard to eat.
Everyone talked about the situation in the clinic.
"The one who was sent to the back was bitten by a dog and his lower body was covered in blood. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. It hurts me just looking at it."
"That's right. I heard from Doctor Li that the man was disabled. I don't know what that means."
"You didn't ask?"
"I asked! Doctor Li won't tell me, but the town magistrate should know."
Shen Yi listened for a long time but still couldn't figure out the details of those two people, so he looked at Shen Ying anxiously.
Shen Ying swallowed the food and said slowly, "Those two people are not from our village. One of them seems to be a young man from Liujiazhuang. Someone in our village knows him. The town magistrate has found out their background and only said that they will be severely punished. He didn't say much else. You are the victim. If you ask, the town magistrate will tell you."
"I understand. Thank you to the village chief and several uncles and brothers for your help. Once this matter is resolved, I will hold a banquet to thank you all." Shen Yi said sincerely.
No one cared whether he was just being polite or really intended to do this. Anyway, they liked to hear such words, so they all became polite to him.
After everyone had eaten and left, Shen Yi went into the house and said something to Su Tai, then drove the donkey cart towards Moshi Town.
Liu Tiechui was very angry, extremely angry. He kept complaining to Ma Yujie after returning from the clinic, "Do you think Xiong Kai is sick? He actually instigated his cousin to steal from Shen Yi's house. He can't stand seeing others doing well? He deserves to lose his life!"
Ma Yujie poured Liu Tiechui a glass of water and soothed him gently, "Calm down. Now only Niu Peng is awake. We can't just listen to his one-sided story. We also have to listen to Xiong Kai's story. After all, Niu Peng is not a first-time offender and is very cunning. Who knows if he is deliberately shirking responsibility?"
