Then he looked at Lin Zhaodi and Niu Tieguang and said, "Although you are dating, you should still pay more attention to each other, since you are not married yet."
Lin Zhaodi nodded, her eyes red and her face pale.
Finally, the brigade leader instructed the village secretary to take them to the village doctor for a check-up and treatment of their injuries.
After everyone left, the village secretary looked at Zhang Cuilan with a livid face; "What happened? Wasn't it confirmed that it was Su Li? How come it's her now?"
Zhang Cuilan cried out, "It was all Su Li's doing! She pretended to faint and threw all three of us around. She even threw me into the far courtyard."
She pointed at Lin Zhaodi and Niu Tieguang on the bed, saying, "She broke their bones, then gave the medicine to Lin Zhaodi and Su Jiaojiao, put them with our son, and then left."
The village secretary's face darkened further. He slapped Zhang Cuilan across the face and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? She's just a young girl, and she broke all your bones. Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"
Zhang Cuilan covered her face and said, "What I said is true. It really was Su Li who hurt us. She reached out and threw me away. My little foot is still throbbing with pain."
Enraged, the village secretary slapped Zhang Cuilan again with a loud "smack." "Nonsense! Don't give me that nonsense!"
As soon as Zhang Cuilan opened her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, with a tooth still inside. She looked at her husband with a wronged expression and said, "Everything I said is true. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
The village secretary then looked at Lin Zhaodi; "You tell me, what exactly happened?"
Lin Zhaodi sobbed, "It's true, Su Li is very strong, all of us combined couldn't beat her."
At this moment, Niu Tieguang on the bed also chimed in, "It's that bitch Su Li who threw me against the wall, which is why I can't move my legs now."
The village secretary was somewhat convinced then. He glared at Zhang Cuilan and said, "Didn't you say that Su Li is Su Jiaojiao's sister? Didn't you say that she doesn't have a mother and that her father doesn't care about her? If Su Jiaojiao knows so much, why didn't she tell us that Su Li has such great strength?"
If he had known earlier, even if she were rich, he would never have agreed to let his son make a move on her.
With such high fighting skills, if she really married into the family, this whole household wouldn't be enough for her to handle.
"Alright, let's go! Come with me and help our son to the village doctor for a checkup."
After saying that, the village secretary looked at Lin Zhaodi and said, "You come along too, and take a look at your arm while you're at it."
Actually, it's good that Lin Zhaodi is marrying into the family now; it's better than the uncontrollable Su Li.
Lin Zhaodi didn't want to get married, but unfortunately, she had no choice in the matter.
Zhang Cuilan tried to stand up, but before she could even stand up, her shinbone started hurting so badly that she fell back down.
She said with a distressed look, "I injured my calf and can't get up."
The village secretary had no choice but to invite the village doctor to his home, as two of the three injured men were unable to leave.
After the village doctor arrived, he set the bones of all three men and instructed the village secretary, "They cannot get wet for a month, and they cannot do heavy work for two months."
After seeing the village doctor off, the village secretary said to Lin Zhaodi, "Go back to the educated youth settlement first. I think you understand the current situation. You have no other choice but to marry into our family. I think you should know in your heart what you should and shouldn't say when you get back."
Lin Zhaodi nodded sullenly, then walked towards the educated youth settlement.
When she went in, she saw Su Jiaojiao already lying in bed, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.
If it weren't for Su Jiaojiao, she wouldn't have ended up like this. It's hateful that she ran away too quickly, leaving her with no choice but to marry into that family now.
The other educated youths were already resting and didn't say a word when they saw her return.
Lin Zhaodi stepped forward and called to Su Jiaojiao, "Wake up, come out here, I have something to tell you."
Su Jiaojiao wanted to pretend to be asleep and not pay attention to Lin Zhaodi, but she was worried that Lin Zhaodi would tell others about her being slept with by Niu Tieguang.
After struggling for a moment, she managed to get up from the kang (a heated brick bed).
The two walked to a secluded corner of the educated youth settlement. Lin Zhaodi looked at Su Jiaojiao and said, "You were also slept with by Niu Tieguang today. Give me 150 yuan, and I can keep this a secret."
"Are you threatening me?"
“Yes, we’ve both been ruined by him. Why should I marry him? I’m not reconciled. If you’re not going to give me the money, fine. Tomorrow I’ll go to the brigade leader and make things clear. This was all a setup you set up for Su Li. If it’s any worse, then none of us will have a good time.”
Su Jiaojiao was furious. That bitch not only failed to do her job well, but also turned around and blamed everyone else.
They ruined her reputation and now they're asking her for money. It's outrageous, but this matter really can't be spread.
His reputation cannot be tainted in the slightest. She is still waiting to marry Xie Feng, how can she have a bad reputation?
“I don’t have that much money on me, I only have thirty yuan left now.”
She didn't have much money left; the money Su Guoqiang sent last time had already been given to Li Liang.
Now, with the money Su Li's uncle gave her, she only had 130 yuan left. How could she give it all to this bitch?
Lin Zhaodi glanced at her and said, "I don't care if you stole or robbed, not a penny less than 150 yuan. If I don't see the money by tomorrow night, I'll expose everything you've done. At worst, neither of us will have a good time."
Su Jiaojiao gritted her teeth in anger, thinking, "That bitch!"
She won't let the humiliation she suffered today go so easily. Whether it's Su Li, Lin Zhaodi, or Li Liang, she won't let them get away with it.
"I'll find a way to give you the money, but don't tell anyone about that."
"good"
The next day, after Lin Zhaodi changed her dressing at the village doctor, she encountered many villagers on her way back to the educated youth settlement, and they all looked at her with disdain.
"See that? That's Lin, the educated youth from yesterday. I don't know what she was thinking, actually dating Niu Tieguang's son."
"Maybe people just like Niu Tieguang because he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Didn't you hear that the two of them broke their arms and legs yesterday?"
"Mother, is it true that I didn't go yesterday?"
"It's true, I saw it myself. When the brigade leader arrived, the two were still entangled. I never expected that these educated youths in the city would be so promiscuous."
........
Lin Zhaodi felt ashamed when she heard these people pointing and whispering about her so openly, and she ran straight back to the educated youth settlement.
Not long after she returned to the educated youth settlement, the village secretary sent someone to invite her to the Niu family's courtyard to discuss their wedding date.
The village secretary was worried that things might change if he delayed, so he thought that even if his son's leg wasn't fully healed, he should still marry his wife first, so that she could take care of his son.
After making up his mind, the village secretary decided to set the wedding date for tomorrow.
Lin Zhaodi once again braved the gossip and arrived at the Niu family's courtyard.
As soon as she entered, she saw the village secretary sitting in the main seat of the room. Niu Tieguang was still unable to move and was lying in bed.
