Hearing Ge Junming's words, Jiang Caizhen couldn't help but shudder. It was because of this shudder that she realized she could move. Although Gu Qiuyu had said the same thing just now, she was just a little girl, and her deterrent power was naturally different from Ge Junming's. Moreover, Ge Junming was a police officer.
When Jiang Caizhen found that she could move, she immediately ran outside. Just as she reached the door, she was stopped by two policemen who were about to enter.
"Catch her." Ge Junming ordered the two policemen.
The two policemen were stunned for a moment, turned to look at Ge Junming, and after recognizing Ge Junming, they immediately obeyed his orders.
Seeing that the police really arrested her, Jiang Caizhen screamed loudly in fear, "It's unfair! I didn't abuse any children, you arrested the wrong person." She was really scared now.
"Comrade police!" Jin Dahai hurried forward.
"Take him back with you and ask him what happened. If he dares to hide anything, lock him up together." Ge Junming said in a deep voice.
"Comrade police officer, I'll pay for the medical expenses. I won't hit my child again. I promise. Please let me go this time." Jiang Caizhen begged tearfully. As long as she didn't go to jail, she was willing to agree to anything. And now she understood that hitting a child really would lead to jail time.
Seeing Gu Qiuyu emerge, Ge Junming looked at her questioningly. He was trying to scare the woman. Child abuse in serious circumstances does carry a sentence, but it requires serious harm to the child and a witness to testify. Judging by Jin Dahai's expression, he certainly wouldn't testify against his wife. Even if he were taken to the police station, she'd only be detained for two days.
Gu Qiuyu smiled and nodded. This matter had nothing to do with her. She called the police just to scare the woman. Now that the woman was afraid, she believed that she would be more careful when she hit the child next time.
Ge Junming looked at the two policemen and said, "Tell them about the legal knowledge in this area and put them on file. If they dare to do it again next time, they will be locked up directly."
"Yes!" the two policemen responded.
Jiang Caizhen breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed to the ground when the police released her. This time, she was truly frightened.
After being educated by the police, Jiang Caizhen promised not to beat the child again. She also took out money to pay the medical expenses and left the clinic with the child together with Jin Dahai.
Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, the crowds of onlookers outside returned home one after another. However, since this incident, many parents who used to beat their children have restrained themselves a lot.
Gu Qiuyu, Fang Zhihong and the other two chatted for a while. Knowing that they planned to wait for Su Jinyue to come back, he handed the clinic to Fang Zhihong and got up to go to the backyard to cook.
Looking at the full bamboo basket of herbs, Xu Tiansheng's heart was filled with joy. "There are indeed more herbs on this mountain than on Nanshan Mountain." He planned to visit other mountains in the future, and he was sure that he would have a good harvest.
"Master, you won't have to worry about finding herbs anymore," Su Jinyue said with a smile. These mountains were infested with venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, so no one dared to climb them. Consequently, the mountains were rich in resources, and medicinal herbs were everywhere, often growing for years.
Xu Tiansheng smiled and nodded, "Let's go back." He and Jin Yue's backpacks were already full, so they could only carry the herbs in their hands. It was only just past noon. If it were before, even by dusk, they wouldn't have found so much. And they had even found precious herbs like Ganoderma lucidum and wild ginseng.
"Master, we've collected so many herbs this time. You can rest for a few days. Wait until it's cooler before heading up the mountain again," Su Jinyue said. While it wasn't as hot up there, it was still more comfortable to stay in the clinic under the fan on a hot day. She didn't want her master to suffer so much.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Xu Tiansheng agreed with a smile. He had been going up the mountain to collect herbs recently, and Qiuyu hadn't had a break. Since Jinyue was here, he wanted to let the sisters go out for a walk to relax.
Mrs. Liu was sitting in the alley, eating melon seeds and chatting with several women in the village. "It's so hot today. I can't sit in the house at all. It's better if there's a little wind in this alley." She had just returned from delivering food to the fields. It was the busiest time for farm work right now. After taking a break, she had to go back to work in the fields.
"I wish I could buy an electric fan someday! Look how comfortable Wang Meizhen is," Aunt Wang said with envy. She'd visited the town's supply and marketing cooperative, and the cheapest one cost over a hundred yuan. She'd thought about it for a long time, but couldn't bring herself to buy one. Both of her children were in school, and tuition was incredibly expensive.
"They've married good daughters-in-law. Not to mention Doctor Su, even Qin Xiaoyun, who used to live a hard life, is from a wealthy family. Ultimately, Wang Meizhen is lucky. We can't envy her." There was a hint of bitterness in Liu Ersao's tone. If only her son could marry a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family in the future.
Sister Li spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth, and saw Su Jinyue and Xu Tiansheng passing by the alley. She turned her head and looked, "Why did Doctor Su and Doctor Xu come back so early today?" Doctor Xu went out to collect herbs, and it was rare for him to come back so early. He usually came back in the evening.
Mrs. Liu thought for a moment, stood up, and followed. "Doctor Xu, Doctor Su, wait a minute."
Su Jinyue and Xu Tiansheng stopped and turned to look at Mrs. Liu who was following them.
"Mrs. Liu, is there anything wrong?" Xu Tiansheng asked.
"There are guests at your house today. They all drove here. One is Dr. Fang from the past, and he was accompanied by an old man. The other one is even more powerful. Even the police listen to him." Mrs. Liu recounted what had happened before, adding some exaggeration.
Su Jinyue nodded. "We understand. Thank you, Mrs. Liu." She had already guessed who the visitor was. Besides Ge Junming, who else could make the police obey him? As for the old man who came with Fang Zhihong, she was a little curious.
"Doctor Su, that person is here to see you. Be careful," Mrs. Liu warned. She had originally looked down on Su Jinyue. Besides her medical skills, she was nothing more than a country girl. Her family was from the town, and her household registration was also there, giving her a much higher status than Su Jinyue's. But after Su Jinyue reunited with her parents, she no longer dared to look down on her. She only regretted not pairing Su Jinyue with her cousin; otherwise, she would have surely gained a lot.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, then walked towards the clinic with Xu Tiansheng. She had already seen several people in the clinic, and she hadn't expected Fang Zhihong to be related to Fang Wubin, whom she had met in the infected area. No wonder she had felt a sense of familiarity when she first met Fang Wubin.
