Chapter 398 Fifth Brother's Boldness Grows with Love
The next day, Zhou Quan had just returned from the academy when Du Wanchun summoned him to the rice shop.
Zhou Quan usually helped out at the rice shop, so he didn't ask any questions and followed Du Wanchun into the shop.
"Sister-in-law, how come Miss Tao is here with you?" Zhou Quan was stunned when he saw Tao Yaofang lying on the bed.
Zhang Qiuhe brought over the prepared medicine and said, "Yesterday, Miss Tao was seriously injured and collapsed in front of our shop."
Zhou Quan frowned, strode over to Tao Yaofang's side, bent down to look at the injury on her face, a clear hint of heartache flashing in his eyes, "Have you called a doctor? What did the doctor say?"
Zhang Qiuhe placed the medicine in her hand on the table beside her. "I asked Dr. Xu to come and see, and he is currently fine."
Zhou Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Tao Yaofang was still asleep, he asked her, "Sister Zhang, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Zhang Qiuhe looked up at Tao Yaofang's legs and said, "Both legs were beaten to a bloody pulp. Doctor Xu said she lost too much blood and will need a few days to wake up."
"What?! His legs are a bloody mess?!" Zhou Quan exclaimed in shock and anger, "Who had the audacity to beat someone like this in broad daylight?!"
Zhang Qiuhe lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Wanchun and I suspect it was her parents who beat her."
Zhou Quan's face was filled with shock. "How is this possible?! How could there be parents in the world who treat their daughter like this?"
Zhang Qiuhe glanced outside and, seeing no one was around, told him everything that had happened at Tao Yaofang's house.
Zhou Quan was furious and strode towards the door, shouting, "Fine, the Tao family, I'll make them pay!"
Zhang Qiuhe reached out to stop him, "Fifth brother, don't be impulsive. Miss Tao hasn't woken up yet. Let's discuss things after she wakes up."
She hadn't expected Zhou Quan to react so strongly; the person who was usually so timid that he was even afraid of a mouse was now going to teach someone a lesson.
Du Wanchun came in from outside. "Fifth brother, don't be reckless. Just stay here and take good care of Miss Tao. Once she has recovered, we can go to the Tao family to demand an explanation."
Zhou Quan listened to Du Wanchun very well, immediately suppressing his anger and turning to look at Tao Yaofang on the bed with heartache, "Yes, sister-in-law."
Before Zhang Qiuhe could speak, he picked up the medicine bowl and scooped up a spoonful of medicine. After gently blowing on it to cool it, he carefully fed it to Tao Yaofang.
Du Wanchun and Zhang Qiuhe watched from the side, slightly surprised. They didn't expect that this little prince, who had grown up in the palace, would be so caring.
After exchanging a glance, the two smiled and left.
Zhou Quan was indeed good at taking care of people, serving tea and water every day, even better than Zhang Qiuhe.
Tao Yaofang woke up in less than three days.
That day, Zhou Quan didn't sleep all night. He was so tired in the early morning that he fell asleep by her bedside.
Tao Yaofang slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to see the person beside her. She quickly endured the pain and sat up, trying to wake Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan was half asleep, but his hands felt itchy.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hand, only to see a large cockroach lying on it, its two long whiskers twitching.
Zhou Quan was shocked and stood up abruptly, shaking the cockroach off his hand.
Cockroaches were crawling all over the floor.
"Ah! A cockroach! A cockroach!"
He shouted.
Tao Yaofang froze for a moment, glanced at Zhou Quan, then at the cockroach on the ground, and then carefully bent down to pick up the shoes by the bed and slapped the cockroach hard.
