Chapter 406 Old Yuan is dizzy
The town wasn't far from here, and at this moment, Li didn't mind her son helping her sister-in-law with chores.
Liang pursed her lips and didn't continue arguing.
The group quickly made arrangements, and Li and Liang went to her house to get the things while Lu Sixing went into the kitchen to start cooking.
The other villagers in the courtyard looked at each other, feeling they should leave, but also reluctant to go.
It was Fan Zhong, the village chief of Shangshi Village, who heard the news and rushed over. He then waved for everyone to go back.
The villagers dawdled, but they were indeed heading out.
The Yuan family became anxious after he left.
They certainly didn't want to leave, but the two officers wanted to stay for a meal, and they couldn't keep waiting forever.
Old Master Yuan was anxious, so he tugged at Old Man Yuan and whispered a few words in his ear.
Old Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
The next moment, his body suddenly fell straight backward.
Before the villagers had finished walking, they saw this and immediately cried out in surprise.
Old Yuan raised his voice even higher, "Dad, Dad, what's wrong? Please don't let anything happen to you."
After calling out a few times, he raised his head and shouted into the main room in a panic, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, come quickly and help! Dad has fainted."
Yuan Shanchuan frowned, stood up and looked outside.
Before he could even leave, he heard Shu Yu say, "If she fainted, take her to the clinic. Don't delay. But my mule cart has gone out to town. The officials have carts, though. How about we borrow one of theirs?"
Upon hearing this, the Yuan family members turned pale.
This fainting was faked. If they dared to borrow the official's carriage again, and the doctor found out later, wouldn't they all be arrested and thrown into jail?
Old Master Yuan hurriedly refused, "No, no need..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shu Yu added, "But it's quite strange. How could someone who was perfectly fine suddenly faint? My fourth uncle vomited blood yesterday but didn't faint, even though he was still injured."
The atmosphere immediately became awkward after those words were spoken.
Yes, why did she suddenly faint?
Old Yuan has always been in very good health, and the weather isn't hot today, so he won't get heatstroke. Besides, no one was pushing or hitting him. He just fainted like that? Could he be faking it?
Shu Yu continued to sigh, "Could it be that upon hearing that my fourth aunt's husband could get a job at the yamen, he was filled with remorse and anger over yesterday's severing of ties, and suffered a sudden attack of anger? That's possible. In that case, we really should take him to the clinic. Brother Hu, this is a matter of life and death after all. You're skilled and a steady driver, I wonder if I could trouble you..."
Hu Li knew exactly what Shu Yu was thinking. He was a man of experience and knowledge, and of course he knew the strangeness of Old Yuan's dizziness. He immediately stood up and reached for the raincoat. "Alright, I'll make the trip. I know a doctor who is very skilled. I'll take him to see him right away."
The Yuan family was terrified and helped Old Man Yuan back.
The ground was already slippery, and before they knew it, Old Yuan had slipped from their grasp and fell heavily to the ground, getting soaked by the rain.
The pain and fear made him scream, and he no longer cared about pretending to faint.
Shu Yu immediately laughed, "Oh, you're awake already? When my uncle faints, he doesn't wake up for at least half an hour."
The onlookers understood perfectly well, and looked at the Yuan family with disdain and mockery.
"It seems that seeing the prosperity of the mountains and rivers, they want to climb up and become relatives."
