Gu Bin snorted coldly, but he couldn't hide the concern on his face: "It's good that you got beaten up, so you can learn your lesson. With your physique, you should stay as far away as possible from any fight you see in the future."
Xie Yan: "..."
He said expressionlessly, "Why don't you lick your own lips?"
Although Gu Bin was puzzled, he obediently did it. Only after he finished did he ask, "Is there something on it?"
Xie Yan sneered, "Let's see if I can poison you to death!"
Gu Bin instantly realized that this guy was indirectly calling him venomous. He retorted provocatively, "If you weren't poisoned to death, it means my insults weren't harsh enough!"
Xie Yan was furious!
If he hadn't been injured today, he would have definitely given this guy a good beating.
Seeing that he had silenced Xie Yan with anger, Gu Bin stopped talking about it and forcibly changed the subject, asking, "Why did Xiao Mei hit that child? What did she steal?"
Xie Yan sighed, looking quite helpless, and said, "I put a drop of oil in the food."
Gu Bin: "???"
It really is a huge head full of huge questions!
Is that a reason to be beaten?
Xie Yan knew what this guy was thinking, and before he could ask, he said directly, "That's all, nothing else."
Gu Bin could only remain silent at this moment; his limited vocabulary simply could not express his feelings.
She simply helped Xie Yan walk inside silently.
When Yu Yue saw Xie Yan return so quickly, she wondered why he was back so early. Looking up, she saw that Xie Yan's face was ashen and he looked listless. She hurriedly asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xie Yan curled his lips, his face full of grievance, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice, and said dejectedly, "It's nothing, it's just that I got beaten up!"
Yu Yue jumped up from the stool, her voice rising several decibels: "Who hit you? Where did they hit you? Let me see!"
Xie Yan tried to speak in a calm tone, but as he spoke, he became aggrieved. After he finished explaining the whole story, Yu Yuehui's expression changed instantly.
Xiao Mei is clearly doing this on purpose. In the village, who beats up their child and then beats up the person trying to break it up? This is blatant bullying of Xie Yan, an outsider sent-down youth, so he won't dare to cause trouble.
Xie Yan grimaced as he began to take off his clothes. He was dressed in thick clothes today, and taking them off caused him a lot of pain. Every movement pulled at his wounds, making him gasp for breath.
After taking off his clothes, Yu Yue saw Xie Yan's arms and back. The red and swollen marks were shocking, especially on his back, where there were patches that looked like they had been branded with a hot iron.
The blood had stuck to the inner garment.
In an instant, anger flared up in her eyes, her gaze blazing with murderous intent.
She suppressed her anger, gently helped Xie Yan take off his undergarments, silently applied anti-inflammatory medicine, helped Xie Yan lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and instructed Gu Bin to take good care of Xie Yan. Then she turned around and walked out without hesitation.
As he passed by Gu Bin, the fierce aura emanating from her made his heart skip a beat. He was secretly alarmed. Why did Yu Yuehui seem different from usual? This fierceness was quite frightening!
Looking at his wife like this, Xie Yan felt uneasy and asked loudly, "Wife, where are you going?"
You absolutely mustn't go looking for trouble with them. After all, you're the one who initiated this, and even though it's unfair that you got beaten up, it's not right to really blame them.
Yu Yue noticed the worry in Xie Yan's eyes, and smiled slightly to comfort him, "I'll go ask our mother if she has any better medicine, preferably something that can relieve pain, because your medicine doesn't seem to be very effective at relieving pain."
Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "My medicine mainly disperses blood stasis, stops bleeding, reduces inflammation and swelling, and contains pain-relieving ingredients, but those are not its main functions."
Yu Yue nodded gently and said softly, "You rest well, I'll be back soon." After saying that, she hurried away.
Gu Bin watched Yu Yuehui's departing figure, then turned to Xie Yan with a mysterious expression and said, "Do you really think your wife went to get medicine?"
Xie Yan replied calmly, "Otherwise what?"
Gu Bin shook his head seriously and said in a profound tone, "Judging from the way she went out just now, the murderous aura in her eyes, I think she definitely went to get revenge for you."
Xie Yan nodded slightly and said calmly, "Oh! I understand."
"You didn't react at all?" Gu Bin asked, puzzled.
Xie Yan looked at Gu Bin, puzzled: "What kind of reaction is needed?"
Gu Bin chuckled and teased, "Weren't you just worried about your wife, afraid she'd cause trouble for others?"
Xie Yan sighed and said helplessly, "I am a little worried. Although we are in the right to some extent, it's not by much. I'm afraid she'll suffer losses if she goes to the other party."
Gu Bin sneered, looking at Xie Yan as if he were an idiot. "Don't you feel guilty saying that? With your wife's abilities, you're afraid she'll suffer?"
Xie Yan nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world and said seriously, "Why wouldn't I be afraid? My wife is too honest and upright. I'm just afraid that someone will have a bad mouth and hurt her with harsh words."
"She's rather introverted, so she definitely can't win arguments with others."
Gu Bin looked at Xie Yan with a helpless expression. Love really does make people blind! He couldn't help but sigh, "You should worry more about yourself. Look at all your injuries, in this freezing weather, I don't know when you'll be fully healed."
Xie Yan sighed heavily, annoyed, "Ugh! I've had the worst luck today. Why did I have to be so foolish as to go ice skating? I shouldn't have gone out today."
He sighed after saying that.
Yu Yuehui went straight to Yu Dalang's house.
She raised her hand and pushed open the courtyard gate with a creak, and saw Yu Pingzi carrying a shoulder pole, preparing to go out to fetch water.
Yu Yuehui's gaze was sharp as a knife, coldly sweeping over Yu Pingzi.
Yu Pingzi, like a mouse seeing a cat, trembled in fright, immediately lowered her head, and looked away furtively, not daring to glance at Yu Yuehui. She then slipped away hastily as if her feet were greased.
Yu Yuehui had no interest in paying attention to him and went straight into the house, where she found Xiao Mei.
She stood in front of Xiao Mei, her gaze sharp, and coldly asked, "You hit Xie Yan!"
Xiao Mei always thought these educated youths were easy to bully and didn't take the matter of the banquet seriously at all.
When she saw Yu Yue coming to her door, she felt a little scared, but she still felt that she had done nothing wrong and that Xie Yan had asked for a beating.
So, with her neck stiff and expressionless, she said, "He came here asking for a beating, so who can you blame? He deserved it!"
