Li Qingzhu looked down and saw his mother lying pale in his arms, as if she had stopped breathing.
He was terrified and cried out, "Mother? Mother, what's wrong? Say something!"
The villagers were still furious and indignant when they heard Li Qingzhu's almost distorted roar, and only then did they realize that something was wrong.
Village Chief Li was just regretting his actions over the years when he heard Li Qingzhu's shout, which immediately brought him back to his senses.
Although he disliked his second sister-in-law very much, she was, after all, his second brother's wife and family, so he couldn't just ignore her.
Stepping forward and seeing Old Zhou's pale face, Village Chief Li immediately panicked. If something happened to Old Zhou here, he would feel even more guilty towards his second brother.
He stepped forward and patted Old Zhou's wife's face, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, wake up, what's wrong? What happened?"
Li Qingzhu was holding back tears. Although he was usually quite foolish, he was an extremely filial son. He couldn't help but hug and sway Old Zhou's wife.
"Mother, Mother, wake up! What's wrong? What's wrong? Mother, please wake up!"
Seeing that Old Zhou's wife still hadn't made a move, he glared fiercely at the villagers and everyone in the courtyard who were watching.
"If anything happens to my mother today, I will not let any of you go."
The villagers watching fell silent. Although they were angry about Li Qingzhu's threat, they did not intend to force Old Zhou's wife to her death.
Seeing that something was wrong, someone timidly said, "Village chief, it looks like Old Zhou's wife is sick. Why don't we take her to the town's clinic quickly?"
Li Qingzhu seemed to only then realize what was happening, and picked up Old Zhou's wife to leave.
Tang Yue noticed Old Zhou's condition the moment Li Qingzhu shouted. She was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath.
If they stay cooped up like this, this person might die before they can be taken to the clinic. She secretly tugged at Tang Shengkai's sleeve.
Tang Shengkai was also anxious. If someone died on their very first day there, even if it had nothing to do with them, it would still sound bad.
He pulled Tang Yue into his arms. "Yueyue, do you have a solution?"
Tang Yue didn't have time to explain much, "Dad, quickly tell him to lay that person flat on the ground, she'll be fine in a little while."
Tang Shengkai naturally trusted his daughter, so he put Tang Yue down and hurriedly came over to stop Li Qingzhu from running out of the courtyard.
"Young man, quickly put him down and lay him flat on the ground."
When Li Qingzhu saw someone blocking his way, his face turned extremely cold. Upon seeing that it was Tang Shengkai, his gaze became even more hostile. Hearing Tang Shengkai's words, his eyes practically spit fire, and he gritted his teeth.
"If you want revenge, wait until I get back. You're not going to hurt my mother."
Tang Shengkai said helplessly, "Young man, we don't have any grudges. She's probably just having trouble catching her breath. Lay her down flat, and she'll be fine once she catches her breath. The way you're crouching down, she'll be in a worse state."
Li Qingzhu was skeptical, looking down at his mother's increasingly pale and slightly purplish face, hesitant to make a decision. What if this person was just fooling him, what if his mother really was gone...? He dared not think further.
Village Chief Li was calmer than Li Qingzhu. He couldn't wait to confirm with Tang Shengkai, "Is this really feasible?"
Tang Shengkai nodded firmly, "Okay. Village Chief, time waits for no one."
At this moment, Village Chief Li didn't care about arguing with Li Qingzhu. He slapped Li Qingzhu's arm and said, "Hurry up, listen to me, put him on the ground."
Li Qingzhu didn't know what to do; he was at a loss. His mother usually protected him when he acted recklessly, but now that the village chief looked so serious, he didn't dare to do anything rash and quickly laid his mother down on the ground.
The villagers didn't dare to breathe loudly. If Old Zhou's wife died today, who knew what kind of trouble Li Qingzhu would bring to Daobei Village in the future?
Although the two of them were disliked by the villagers, they dared not curse Old Zhou's wife to die at this time.
Old Mrs. Zhou's face grew increasingly purple, as if she couldn't catch her breath. Seeing that Old Mrs. Zhou had no reaction, Li Qingzhu grew anxious. He tilted his head back, squinting at Tang Shengkai, as if trying to stare holes through him.
Tang Shengkai wasn't unconcerned, but he had no other choice. Tang Yue felt that if she didn't act soon, this old woman might really die in her own yard.
He inwardly groaned at the ominous sign, then channeled his spiritual energy from his fingertips directly towards Old Lady Zhou's nose.
Guided by spiritual power, Old Zhou's breath finally came out of her throat.
Gradually, Old Zhou's breathing calmed down, and after a while, she opened her eyes. Li Qingzhu, such a scoundrel, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.
She called out "Mother" in a trembling voice, then burst into tears.
Old Mrs. Zhou felt as if those few minutes had lasted an eternity. Everyone thought she looked several years older.
When she saw Li Qingzhu crying, Old Zhou's wife instinctively thought that someone had bullied her son again.
But when she saw that Li Qingzhu was holding her hand tightly, she realized what was going on.
Seeing the village chief squatting beside her with a concerned look on his face, she wanted to curse him out. But after opening her mouth twice, she felt completely powerless.
Looking at the group of villagers surrounding her, she became even angrier. But she was too weak to do anything, so she closed her eyes and tightly grasped Li Qingzhu's hand.
Li Qingzhu didn't know what his mother meant, and looked at the circle of villagers who had gathered around with unfriendly eyes.
