"I'll head back to the clinic now. Once Chuchu wakes up, give her another fever reducer. If anything happens, come find me at the clinic immediately."
Ruan Qiushui handed the fever reducer to Gu Xiaoxiao, touched Yang Chuchu's forehead, and turned to leave.
"Qiushui, are you alright?"
"I heard that Lai San and Wang Dashu were arrested because they attacked you."
Ruan Qiushui had just left the Gu family home when she ran into Chen Fenglan.
Chen Fenglan was unaware of the entanglement between Lai San and Wang Dashu and Ruan Qiushui. She just felt that it was terrifying that people like them, who had been expelled from the brigade and were of low character, would actually lay hands on Ruan Qiushui.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Ruan Qiushui patted Chen Fenglan's hand.
"By the way, Qiushui, this is the hundred yuan you borrowed from me last time. I can pay you back now."
During this time, her husband watched over the granary during the day and did carpentry work on the side. At night, he would go up the mountain to set traps and catch wild game. Finally, he managed to scrape together one hundred yuan.
"Sister Chen, you don't need to rush to pay it back."
Chen Fenglan and Wang Jun are still living in the granary. Instead of saving this much money, they should improve their living conditions first.
"It's okay, I still have money on me."
Chen Fenglan had never borrowed money from anyone in the first half of her life, so whenever she thought about this hundred yuan, it felt like a mountain was weighing on her back.
Now that she was free of debts, she felt completely relaxed and comfortable.
"Alright, I'll take the money. If you ever need any help in the future, Sister Chen, just let me know."
Chen Fenglan's character is reliable; you won't worry about her not repaying the money you borrow, and no one will secretly mock her as a philanthropic fool.
"On my way here, I saw Old Wang's family causing trouble at the brigade office. I guess it's because of Wang Dashu. Be careful when you go back now."
Judging from the captain's tone, Wang Dashu and Lai San were definitely going to be sent to the town's police station, where they would likely be sentenced to several years in prison.
Old Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to part with her son. Although she had previously complied with Gu Xianjin's wishes and driven Wang Dashu and Wang Qiaohui out of the brigade, there was still a way for them to survive.
Now that he's in jail, who knows how many years he'll get? Wang Dashu's life is probably over.
In the future, the Wang family will be burdened with the reputation of being a family of convicts, and their sons, daughters, and even grandchildren will have difficulty getting married.
"I understand, thank you, Sister Chen."
The brigade office was right next to the clinic, so Ruan Qiushui wasn't worried about the Wang family causing trouble.
As for those who resort to underhanded tactics, it all comes down to who can outmaneuver whom.
After bidding farewell to Chen Fenglan, Ruan Qiushui headed towards the clinic and, sure enough, saw the Wang family gathered at the entrance of the brigade office.
"Captain, you can't send Da Shu to the police station! If he goes to jail, how are we supposed to live?"
"Even if you don't care about us, you have to think about Da Ni and Er Ni. If they have a father who's in jail, how will they ever get married?"
Da Ni and Er Ni are Wang Dashu and Zhao Daya's daughters, so she doesn't believe Gu Xianjin has no sympathy at all.
“Wang Dashu and I divorced a long time ago, and Da Ni and Er Ni have also cut off all ties with him. Even if Wang Dashu committed murder and arson, no one can pin the blame on us three.”
Zhao Daya, holding her two daughters, looked at the shameless faces of the Wang family.
Even at a time like this, she still wants to ruin her daughter's reputation? Bah!
“Zhao Daya, don’t be ungrateful. Do you think you can sever all ties just because Dashu is in jail? Even if you’re divorced, you’re still the wife of a convict, and Da Ni and Er Ni are the daughters of convicts.”
Old Mrs. Wang got angry and rushed over to give Zhao Daya a good beating.
"What are you doing? You dare to hit someone? Believe me or not, I'll send you to the police station too."
Gu Xianjin has already given up on everything.
They've already sent two people to jail, so one more old woman like Wang won't make a difference.
"I...I'm not going."
Old Mrs. Wang quickly retreated until she was right next to Wang Ergou and Wang Sanpao before she felt reassured.
"I'll say it again, my two children and I have absolutely no connection with the Wang family or Wang Dashu. Don't try to drag us into anything in the future."
After Zhao Daya finished speaking, she led her two daughters away.
She still has to go to work at the small workshop.
"Mother, you need to think this through. My eldest brother isn't a good person anymore, we can't get involved with him."
Gu Sanpao is very indifferent to family ties; he can turn his back on anyone who threatens his interests.
His chance to move to the city and become a city dweller has been ruined by his older brother and Wang Qiaohui. Now he's thinking of sacrificing his reputation for the rest of his life? Dream on.
"Third brother, that's your own brother, you can't say that."
Even if she favors the third son, the eldest son is still her own flesh and blood.
“Mother, I think my third brother is right.”
Wang Ergou, who had been silent, also chimed in.
He still has children; he can't let his future be ruined because of his older brother.
"Oh my God, why is my life so miserable?"
Old Mrs. Wang slapped her thigh and cried.
"Stop howling! Get back to the fields! Don't you want to earn work points anymore?"
Gu Xianjin was getting a headache from all the noise, so he quickly sent them all away.
Old Mrs. Wang led her two sons out and happened to run into Ruan Qiushui.
"Ruan Qiushui, it's all your fault, you restless, shameless woman. You deliberately seduced my boss, making him fall for you, which is why things turned out this way."
"Let me tell you, if you don't exonerate the boss, this old woman will fight you to the death."
Old Mrs. Wang ran up to Ruan Qiushui and pointed at her nose, cursing.
If Ruan Qiushui had obediently let them do as they pleased, none of this would have happened.
It was all Ruan Qiushui's fault.
"I've seen bound feet, but I've never seen a bound head. How tightly is your head bound? You're starting to talk nonsense!"
Ruan Qiushui rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
She seduced Wang Dashu? What? Does she have masochistic tendencies?
She wasn't a punching bag in her past life, why is she so deserving of a beating?
"Old Mrs. Wang, do you want to have your work points deducted again? If you cause trouble for Ruan girl again, I'll send you to the police station."
Gu Xianjin heard Old Lady Wang's voice outside and quickly ran out.
Ruan Yatou is about to marry Changfeng, who's from the Gu family. That old hag dares to bully her right under his nose? Does she think he's dead?
"Why should I go to jail? I didn't say anything wrong."
She'll go to jail for uttering a few curses? Is there any justice in this world?
"Now that she's married to Gu Changfeng, she's getting her comeuppance for harming people."
Marrying a disabled man, let's see how glamorous she can be for the rest of her life.
"Old lady, you should know that spreading rumors and slander can also land you in jail. Are you so poor that you can't even afford to eat? Do you want to go to jail to improve your life?"
"How about I send you a five-year prison 'luxury package'? I just don't know if you'll even make it out alive."
Ruan Qiushui wasn't afraid of Old Lady Wang at all. If you dared to curse her, I'd scare you to death.
