Chapter 47: Sudden Incident Xu Nian Complains
Wang patted Xu Nian's hand gently and said, "You are the only one who is good at coaxing people with your sweet words."
Everyone in the main room was chatting happily when Uncle Zhang stumbled in.
"Miss, something happened to the second and third masters. Liu Wangfu smashed the stall and injured someone..."
When Wang heard this, she felt dizzy. What had happened?
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wang were also extremely anxious and insisted on going to take a look.
Xu Nian hurried to comfort the three people, Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, especially little Wang who was still pregnant.
"Uncle Zhang, you saw it with your own eyes. Are the injuries of Second Uncle and Third Uncle serious?"
"I took him to the hospital. He seems to be fine. The two masters asked me to come back and tell them that this is the fault of my family. If it weren't for us, the stall wouldn't have been smashed."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, now is not the time to complain, take me to the hospital quickly.
Grandma, the aunties are waiting for news at home, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Xu Nian gave a few hurried instructions and went to the county town with Zhang Tian. Zhang Xiuer also ran out closely following her young lady.
Looking at her granddaughter walking away, Wang said anxiously, "Dongmei, go to the field and call the old man back. There's something so serious going on at home, why would he care about that piece of land?"
Li responded and hurried to the field to look for the old lady and the fourth master. She was afraid that because of her family's reasons, the old men would be hurt and disliked. If that really happened, they would really have no way to survive.
Xu Nian got on the donkey cart and then noticed Zhang Xiuer following him. Seeing that she was obviously scared but her hands were shaking but she was still holding on, Xu Nian smiled and comforted her:
"Xiu'er, you don't have to follow. Your father and I can go."
Zhang Xiuer shook her head anxiously.
"I'll follow the lady."
Seeing this, Xu Nian stopped persuading Zhang Bo and told him to go to the clinic as soon as possible.
What Zhang Xiuer was thinking was that the young lady looked like a fairy. If Liu Wangfu was going to be disrespectful to the young lady, she...she must step in front of her.
Xu Nian followed Zhang Tian to the clinic and found that Xu Fugui and Xu Youliang only had minor injuries on their arms.
"It's okay, Nian'er. The injury was just a scratch when I was blocking the stick. The main reason was that the two Zhang brothers were seriously injured. The gang really wanted to kill them."
Only then did Xu Nian notice the two people sitting beside him. Although their wounds were bandaged, the bloodstains on their clothes showed that the injuries were serious. At this time, Zhang Xiu'er was standing next to her two brothers wiping her tears, and even Zhang Tian had red eyes.
Xu Nian turned to Xu Fugui and asked, "Second Uncle, I heard that you have been feeling dizzy and nauseous since you were injured. Are you feeling better now?"
Xu Fugui was stunned when he heard this. When did he feel dizzy and sick? Seeing his niece staring at him, he suddenly had an idea and started to vomit.
"Uncle Zhang, go call the doctor."
Uncle Zhang went to call the doctor in a daze, thinking that nothing serious would happen to the two old men.
Xu Youliang had a physiological reaction after being fucked and vomited by his second brother, and he started to vomit as well. When the doctor came over, he was also confused. How come the one who was hit in the head was fine, but the one who was injured in the arm was so sick?
The doctor checked the pulse of both of them again, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but the pulse sounded strong and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Doctor, my second and third uncles were hit on the head. I didn't take it seriously before, but now I suddenly feel dizzy and nauseous. What's the problem?"
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry out of worry, the doctor hurriedly comforted her, saying, "This may be a brain concussion caused by a severe head injury. So I will prescribe some Qi-boosting and blood-stasis-removing medicine for you to take for a few days and see how it works."
Xu Nian thanked him repeatedly and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine.
Just when Xu Youliang was about to say that he was fine and didn't need any medicine, Xu Fugui pinched him hard.
"Second uncle, Third uncle, you guys stay in the clinic first. Don't leave until I come back. Zhang Da, Zhang Er, how are you two? Can you still move?"
The two of them supported themselves and stood up, saying in unison that it was no problem.
After they left the clinic, Xu Nian told Zhang Tian, "Uncle Zhang, go find witnesses near the stall. If no one dares to come forward to testify, reward them with silver. Remember, I have no shortage of silver."
Zhang Bo's hands were shaking with excitement, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Miss, what are you planning?"
"Complaint"
After Uncle Zhang went to find witnesses, Xu Nian borrowed paper and pen from the clinic and wrote a complaint. Because the complaint had to start with the personal information of the plaintiff and the defendant, and she was the only member of the Xu family here, she wrote her own information as the plaintiff.
After Xu Nian finished writing the petition with great pride, Zhang Bo came over with an old man and a beggar.
"Miss, I asked a lot of people, but only this old man and this young man were willing to testify."
Xu Nian nodded, and then asked, "Is there anyone else in the old man's family? If you have concerns, you can leave now, but once you go to court, you will have no chance to regret it."
The old man waved his hands and said, "Little girl, I have lived for so many years and I still don't know how to write the word 'fear'. Let's go to the county government office now."
Xu Nian looked at the little beggar again. The little beggar looked at her and said, "If I testify, will you give me money?"
"I didn't pay you to testify. The money is a reward for your bravery."
The little beggar nodded, not quite understanding, and said that as long as he had silver, it would be fine.
With Xu Nian in the lead, the group came to the county government office in a mighty procession. Unexpectedly, they saw Old Man Xu and Xu Weian there.
"Grandpa, uncle, why are you here?"
Father Xu said anxiously, "Your grandma didn't explain what happened, and I don't know where to look. I wanted to ask your father, how are your second and third uncles?"
Xu Nian briefly explained the matter to Old Man Xu in his ear.
"Grandpa, please go home first, so that my grandma and aunts won't worry. I will stay and help."
Old Man Xu was a little worried. There was no reason to let the little girl go to court.
"Master, just listen to me. If I don't let the Liu family be afraid of us this time, I'm afraid we won't have a peaceful year."
Old Man Xu gave Xu Weian instructions for a long time before he went home, looking back every few steps.
Xu Nian handed the complaint to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper looked at the girl and took a few more looks out of curiosity.
I have to say that Liu Wangfu is quite good at choosing dates. Today happens to be the "lawsuit day", so there is no need to wait for the officers to summon him. The case can be tried today.
Xu Nian and his group were waiting outside the yamen when they saw Xu Yaozu coming out.
"Nian'er, what happened? I heard that you came to submit a petition."
Xu Nian had no choice but to tell the story again, but she did not mention a word about asking her second and third uncles to pretend to be seriously injured.
Xu Nian knew that if only Zhang Da and Zhang Er were injured, she would not win the lawsuit, and many people would even think she was mentally ill.
"Why are you going to court when you are just a kid? Go back quickly. I will take care of this matter."
Xu Nian asked back: "Dad, what do you want to do?"
Xu Yaozu thought of County Magistrate Wu's words and sighed.
