Tong Xianbao looked completely bewildered while watching the film.
Come to think of it, how much strength can an old woman have?
But the pain at the time made them both panic.
Well, not only will he need surgery, but he'll also have to stay in bed for a hundred days. Seriously, if you don't court death, you won't die!
But since things have come to this point, we can only leave it to the doctors to handle.
Tong Xianbao and Li Sikai sat waiting in front of the operating room. Not wanting to waste time, Li Sikai inquired about the wheat field's food.
Tong Xianbao didn't mention his and Yuan Ruoxi's jungle adventure, only saying that the two were on a date and ended up in the wheat field while strolling around.
It was just like that when we went there; the older women had misunderstood.
His eyes darted around as he spoke, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on. Li Sikai listened quietly to his fabricated story with a half-smile.
Finally, I couldn't make this up anymore.
Tong Xianbao said, "Captain Li, you should ask Ruoxi when she wakes up."
Li Sikai gave a noncommittal "hmm," not taking it seriously at all.
Even if that woman were caught red-handed, she would still cause trouble. It's better to convict her outright than to question her.
But they can't do that.
Even if there were evidence, there's always the protection of being a "space ability user."
It's not that Yuan Ruoxi is above the law, but rather that, as a special talent, the alliance can give her the green light as long as no particularly serious consequences occur.
Ugh, what a mess! Can't things just stop for a bit?
The alliance treats them quite well, doesn't it? Compared to the people of Suzhou, aren't they all living in a honey pot?
If you're still not satisfied with this, you're being too greedy!
I don't want to deal with this mess, but I have no choice but to.
Li Sikai got up and went to negotiate with Aunt Hua, since she had not only lost the grain but also injured people.
Each should be accounted for separately and should not be lumped together.
But as soon as he arrived at Aunt Hua's house, he saw her crying and saying that she shouldn't have hurt the superpowered person.
She didn't want any of the food or anything else; she'd consider it payment for Yuan Ruoxi's medical expenses. She had no more money than that.
She said that because she had told her husband and son about it when she got back.
Not only did they not intend to seek justice for her, they also criticized her for acting impulsively and without considering the consequences.
"Don't you realize that he's a superhuman? So what if he steals from you? Can you kill him or put him in jail?"
He even hit someone and broke their bones?
How dare you! Aren't you afraid of retaliation?
"Let's not talk about anything else; just considering the unique nature of that space, as long as it's not murder or arson, no one in Qinghua Kingdom would dare to touch her!"
Aunt Hua felt a chill run down her spine after being told that, and realized she had done something wrong.
But she was worried about the food supplies.
With one acre of land gone, I don't even know if we can survive until next year.
But what can we do now? We can only spend our money to seek peace!
So the moment she saw Li Sikai, she subconsciously thought he was there to settle scores with her.
She quickly apologized, and then, following the advice of her husband and son, managed to smooth things over.
As long as the other party doesn't hold it against her, losing some food is nothing to her. It's better than being retaliated against later.
Li Sikai hadn't expected the other party to have this attitude.
A bellyful of words were stuck in my throat, I couldn't say them, I couldn't swallow them, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing the other family trembling like leaves, I instantly lost the will to say anything.
Okay, that's settled then. Whatever makes you happy!
Li Sikai waved and left. Without him needing to tell her anything, Aunt Hua, her son, and her husband would keep quiet.
But the old women who worked with Aunt Hua during the day couldn't do it.
She loves watching the drama unfold, and after nagging her husband for ages, she still wasn't satisfied, so she went out to find some gossipy old women to chatter about this and that.
After thoroughly satisfying his desire for self-expression, he was warned by some people who knew better: "Aren't you afraid that they will come after you for ruining their reputation?"
Even if that girl behaves improperly, she's a superhuman with powerful backing. Haven't you noticed she has bodyguards protecting her even when she goes out on outings?
Um... I was too quick to speak my mind, and I forgot all about it...
So they all dispersed and went about their business, never mentioning the incident again.
But it did leave a mark on their hearts.
Although we couldn't use flirtatious language, the occasional eye contact between us conveyed what we all meant.
Yuan Ruoxi's reputation was ruined.
Actually, it had been almost completely destroyed long ago. It was just a hit-and-run tactic, and it moved to a new temporary residence. Nobody really knew much about it.
It seems that it's true; trouble always seems to happen to her wherever she goes!
However, due to some people's reminders, this matter only spread in a small circle during the day.
So when Li Sikai took Yuan Ruoxi, who had just finished surgery and was now awake, back to their temporary residence in the early hours of the morning, those who were still awake went up to her with concern, assuming that she was being punished for Tao Jianian's actions.
By not revealing the theft, you indirectly salvaged some of her dignity, didn't you?
But she didn't appreciate it, feeling that she had lost out too much.
If she had known that those old women would find out so quickly, she wouldn't have had that passionate encounter with Tong Xianbao.
During those moments of joy, how much wheat should I have harvested to put into my space!
Indeed, they didn't seize the opportunity.
As for stealing? Ha, she doesn't think she was wrong at all.
Since times are tough anyway, whoever has the ability will survive, regardless of how they do it.
Even with her leg broken, she still hadn't stolen enough!
Waaah, I really want to cry...
Although Li Sikai told her that Aunt Hua didn't want her to pay compensation, how could she accept having her leg broken?
Although falling into the ditch was the main reason, if she hadn't suffered a broken bone that prevented her from walking, how could she have gone the wrong way out of fear?
In the end, it's all that old woman's fault!
I've told her I didn't steal her grain, but she won't believe me! She even tried to touch me inappropriately!
If we get the chance, we'll definitely teach her a lesson!
Yuan Ruoxi thought bitterly, completely unaware of how despicable her actions were.
People aren't bothering with her anymore, but she's planning to get revenge once her leg heals.
I wonder if Aunt Hua will regret giving up on recovering the lost grain from her land once she finds out.
Yuan Ruoxi was in pain and distress, and slowly fell asleep.
After Li Sikai watched her leave, Lu Nanfang and Tong Xianbao also came in.
The two lay down on their beds without saying a word, ready to rest.
Tong Xianbao felt somewhat guilty. If he hadn't abandoned Yuan Ruoxi, she wouldn't have suffered this calamity.
At the same time, I'm also a little worried about how to finish tomorrow's work.
There was no way around it; that job was purely physical, and he wasn't up to it!
Lu Nanfang, on the other hand, was too excited to sleep in the dark of night. She hadn't expected her plan to go so smoothly.
She only overheard those tough women discussing when to go to Erlong Mountain to harvest wheat while she was working, and that's when she took it to heart.
Then I heard that there were wild peach trees at the foot of the mountain and wild grapes on the mountainside, which made me even more excited.
