Chapter 34: Your father will teach you a lesson!
Cen Yan naturally didn't know what happened next.
As soon as she returned home, she pushed open the gate and, ignoring the surprised cry of Yu who happened to be picking vegetables in the yard, went straight to the inner room where the second wife Cen Dahai and Li lived.
"Yan... Yan'er! You're back?!" Li was sitting beside the bed taking care of Cen Dahai. When she heard the noise, she turned her head and saw that it was Cen Yan who came back. She was so excited that she spoke incoherently and couldn't control herself.
"Sister, sister! You're finally back! I knew you would be fine!" Cen Yang was so happy that he jumped around her.
"I'm fine, I'm back." Only then did Cen Yan realize how much trouble she had caused to her parents by not returning home all night.
Looking at Cen Dahai who was unconscious on the bed, she bit her lip with worry and self-blame, and asked, "Mom, how is my dad? When I came back, I met some villagers, and they said that my dad fainted while looking for me last night? Is that true?"
"This..." Li's eyes flickered when she heard this, not knowing whether she should tell the truth.
"Mom, what happened? You have to tell me how Dad fainted so that I can find a way to save him!" Cen Yan knew there was something hidden at first glance and asked anxiously.
Li knew that if this matter was spoken out, it would cause greater conflicts in the family, but what else could she do if she didn't say it?
After much hesitation, she finally decided to tell the truth: "Your father was knocked unconscious by your eldest uncle and third uncle with sticks and brought back by force... It was your grandmother who ordered them to bring your father back even if they knocked him unconscious, and not let him go out to look for you!"
Once the words are out, there is no need to hide them.
Then, she told him everything about how Old Lady Cen and Old Man Cen took advantage of Cen Dahai's filial piety yesterday, used filial piety to pressure him, and repeatedly obstructed him from going out to look for Cen Yan.
"That's too much!" Cen Yan was annoyed. "I don't care if my grandparents don't care whether I live or die, but they shouldn't treat my dad like this! What do they think of my dad?!"
This is not treating your son at all, it's like treating an enemy, torturing him on purpose!
What kind of person is Dad?
If something really happened to her and she didn't come back, and Dad didn't find her... then how much self-blame would he feel in the rest of his life?
I'm afraid I'll have to live in guilt for the rest of my life, unable to raise my head, and become depressed from then on!
Old Mrs. Cen really doesn't treat her father as a human being!
"Speak softly, if your grandparents hear them, they might cause trouble again... Your father has not woken up since he came back last night..." Li held Cen Yan in fear, tears falling as she spoke, "If something happens to your father, leaving us three children, what are we going to do in the future?!"
She was truly desperate and frightened.
When she got married, all the belongings of the Li family were looted by Old Lady Cen. She was left without a penny and had to raise her son and daughter. She couldn't even imagine such a life!
"Mom, don't be anxious, let me take a look." Cen Yan knew that anyone could panic at this time, but she had to stay calm and comfort Li immediately.
She helped Li sit down beside the bed, then took out a small bottle of spiritual spring water.
"Mom, please help me lift Dad up so I can feed him the medicine." Cen Yang said to Li.
"Well, okay, but where did you get the medicine? What kind of medicine is it? Can it be given to your father?" Li hurriedly wiped her tears, helped Cen Dahai up, let him rest his head on her arms, and then asked in confusion.
"Yes, I will explain it to you in detail after Dad wakes up." Cen Yan didn't have time to say so much now, not to mention telling lies to cover up the source of the spiritual spring water.
She opened the bottle and carefully fed Cen Dahai the spiritual spring water bit by bit.
Cen Dahai was still in a coma. He drank less spiritual spring water than it flowed out.
But she didn't feel sorry at all, and kept feeding him until he had finished the whole bottle.
She didn't know whether the spiritual spring water was effective, but at this time, this was the only way to save people!
Cen Yan regretted very much that he had not learned the medical skills in the book in the space earlier. Even if he had learned how to diagnose a pulse, he would have been able to understand Cen Dahai's condition!
If she learns well, she might be able to cure Ji Yunzhan's old leg injury as well!
"Mom, grandpa and grandma, didn't they suggest asking a doctor to come and check on Dad?" Cen Yan asked when she noticed that there was a piece of linen behind Cen Dahai's head.
“I told them, but they disagreed. They said that Dad fainted because of you and he would be fine after a good sleep…” Li shook her head, holding back tears.
“…”
Cen Yan was convinced!
I knew clearly that Dad was knocked unconscious by my eldest uncle and my third uncle!
She touched the back of Cen Dahai's head, but she didn't know any medicine and couldn't feel anything. When she pulled out the sackcloth, she saw a large piece of dried blood on it.
"So much blood has been shed..." Cen Yan was so angry that her hands holding the sackcloth were shaking.
The bleeding must have been caused by hitting him with a stick last night.
That's it, no doctor or medicine?
How could the people in Lao Cen's family be so cruel?!
"I cleaned your father with clean water last night. There was no medicine, so I could only use linen to pad him like this..." Li thought of last night when Cen Dahai was carried back by Cen Dahe with blood all over his head, and she began to wipe her tears again.
"Oh, Cen Yan is back. But when she came back, she didn't even bother to report her safety to your grandparents first. Instead, she hid in the house in a hurry. Is she afraid of being discovered?" At this time, Yu's weird voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Hmph, a young lady who hasn't come back all night. Who knows where she was fooling around last night? Now that you're home, why don't you clean up quickly to destroy the evidence?" Cen Shuang followed with harsh words.
When Cen Yan heard about the mother and daughter's unreliable behavior, he sneered, lifted the curtain and walked out from the inner room.
The room she lived in was opposite to the inner room where Cen Dahai and Li lived.
At this time, Yu and Cen Shuang were cursing at Cen Yan's door.
However, Cen Yan came out from Cen Dahai and Li's room on the other side, and immediately made the words of Yu's mother and daughter completely untenable.
When she came back, she didn't go back to her own room, but went to her father's room. Naturally, she wanted to check on Cen Dahai's injuries. This was filial piety. Who could say anything to her?
Yu's face was somewhat embarrassed.
But she still had the nerve to say something pointedly: "Oh, you're really back? When you walked in and saw me, your elder, you didn't even say a word. I thought I was seeing things, and it wasn't you who came back!"
This is an insult to Cen Yan for not knowing how to respect his elders.
"Oh, Third Aunt was in the yard just now? I'm so sorry, I didn't see her. I seemed to see something standing in the yard in a trance, and I thought it was a bucket... I didn't expect it was Third Aunt!" Cen Yan said with a sincere and apologetic look on his face.
"You! How dare you laugh at me? You little stinky girl, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father today!" Yu understood that she was scolding her fat waist, and she immediately stepped forward angrily and slapped Cen Yan hard on the face!
