Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Making Trouble
Seeing Sun Zheng fainted, Sun Fangniang and Yu Jin were very nervous.
Yu Li took a look and immediately took his hand, passing the last bit of his supernatural power to him.
She had only passed some to Aunt Yu just now. She had originally wanted to keep some for herself so that she wouldn't be tired and hungry after using up her special powers. It would be convenient for her to save people now.
After the special power was used up, I soon felt tired and very hungry.
Yu Li didn't show his emotion, and said to the two panicked girls, "Okay, let's send them to the county hospital first."
After hearing this, the two of them seemed to have found a backbone and nodded quickly.
Yu Li said to Sun Fangniang, "Go pack some clothes."
Sun Fangniang looked at her blankly at first, then she thought of something, her face changed slightly, she responded hurriedly, and hurried back to her room to pack up.
Yu Jin is also a smart girl. When she heard her sister's words, she understood it immediately.
She asked, "Sister, do you want them to go to the county town to avoid debt?"
Sun Datian still owed money to the gambling house. If he didn't pay it back, the gambling house would cut off his hands.
According to Yu Jin, if the gambling house wants to be closed down, then it can be closed down, and no one will worry about it.
I’m afraid that the gambling house is just trying to threaten Sun Datian to pay back the money, and in the end, won’t Sun Datian’s wife and children be the ones who suffer?
Some gamblers would even sell their wives and daughters to pay off their gambling debts. The gambling house was not a good place to be. What was the point of cutting off Sun Datian's hand? They wanted practical benefits, such as money, or Sun Datian's daughter, a young and beautiful unmarried girl, who was very valuable.
Even if they get rid of Sun Datian now, as long as he still owes money to the gambling house, Yu Dagu and her son will still be in a bad situation.
No matter what, it is impossible for him to pay off the gambling debt of fifty taels.
Not to mention that Yu Li had no feelings for the Sun family, even before Yu Jin came here, he had never thought of lending them money.
If Aunt Yu and her sons left the village and hid in the county town, the people in the gambling house would definitely not have thought of it.
Moreover, the people in the gambling house did not know Sun Datian’s wife, daughter and son, so they did not have to worry about being recognized by people in the gambling house in the county town.
Yu Li hummed lightly, bent down, picked up Sun Datian who had fainted on the ground, and dragged him into the room.
Yu Jin supported the unconscious Sun Zheng and curled her lips when she saw her sister dragging Sun Datian into the room.
If they were not afraid that after they left, some neighbors would worry and come to Sun's house to check on the situation, and find Sun Datian lying there and report to the police, they really would not want to pay attention to him and let him lie on the ground.
After a while, Yu Li came out, holding the unconscious Aunt Yu.
Sun Fangniang also came out in a hurry, holding a bundle.
Yu Jin said to Sun Fangniang, "You are injured, let me carry you, Zheng Ge'er."
Sun Fangniang was a little hesitant, but seeing Sun Zheng's ugly face, she no longer hesitated and helped put him on Yu Jin's back.
Yu Jin had been working since he was young, so he was quite strong. In addition, Sun Zheng was young, too thin, and not very heavy, so he could be carried on his back.
The three of them left the Sun family together.
When leaving, Sun Fangniang looked back at the house and locked the gate again, so that even if some neighbors were worried, they would not come over to check.
The three of them arrived at the riverside, where Wang the Boatman was already waiting.
The moonlight was hazy, the river surface was shimmering, and a lantern was hung on the boat, allowing people to see the boat's position clearly.
Seeing them coming, Wang the boatman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hurry up and get on the boat." He had been waiting here for more than two quarters of an hour. If he didn't trust Yu Li and Yu Jin's character, he would have thought that they were not going to take the boat.
When he found that they were still carrying people, he was surprised and asked what happened.
"They are injured." Yu Li said, "Please take us to the county town."
When Wang the boatman heard this, he knew that she wanted to send them to the clinic in the county town. While paddling the boat towards the county town, he asked about their conditions.
"Not very good." Yu Jin's face was gloomy. "They were seriously injured. They were both unconscious for a day."
She meant it to be serious.
In fact, if Yu Li hadn't given them a trace of life energy, their situation would have been very serious and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Wang Chengong couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Sun Datian was really committing a sin.
You don't need to ask to know that this mother and son were definitely beaten by Sun Datian. This time it was too serious. Beating his wife and son like this is simply a beast.
The atmosphere on the boat was very depressing and no one spoke.
Wang the boatman knew that human life was at stake, so he sped up and arrived at the county town in less than an hour.
When getting off the boat, Yu Li paid Wang the boatman some extra money to thank him for waiting for them and bringing them here so late at night.
Wang the boatman asked, "When are you going back? Do you want me to take you back to the village?"
"No need." Yu Li said, "Uncle Wang, you should go back and rest first. We don't know when we will be done."
Wang Chengong thought about it and agreed.
After saying goodbye to Wang the Boatman, they headed straight for Huichun Hall.
It was almost three o'clock in the morning and most of the people in the county had already gone to bed, so the clinic was naturally closed at night.
Huichuntang was also closed.
Yu Li asked Sun Fangniang to knock on the door, and the bang bang bang sounds knocked the people in the room out.
The person who opened the door was a pharmacist in the clinic. When he saw the people at the door, he knew they were seeking medical treatment. He hurriedly let them in and then went to wake up Doctor Xu who was resting in the backyard of the clinic.
In addition to Doctor Xu, there are other doctors in Huichun Hall. However, those doctors are relatively young, and their medical skills are not as good as Doctor Xu. They are usually led by Doctor Xu and learn from him. They are more like Doctor Xu's disciples.
Doctor Xu is obsessed with medicine. He does not live with his family. He mostly rests in the backyard of the clinic and does not go home at night.
Doctor Xu hurried over with his clothes on. He recognized Yu Li at a glance and was a little surprised.
"Madam Fu, why are you here? Could it be Master Fu..."
"No." Yu Li interrupted him, "It's my aunt and cousin. They were beaten up. Can you please take a look at them?"
Doctor Xu saw her move away, revealing that she was lying on a bamboo bed that was specially placed in the corner of the clinic for patients to rest.
The mother and son were lying there side by side, and in the light you could see that their faces looked terrible.
Doctor Xu didn't ask any more questions and checked on the mother and child.
After the examination, Doctor Xu went to prescribe medicine and asked his apprentice to get the medicine and go to the backyard to boil the medicine.
He said to them, "Their condition is very serious. External injuries are not a big deal, but we are worried about internal injuries. After the medicine is boiled, give them a bowl of medicine first. As for when they wake up, it depends on them. It's late now, let them rest in the clinic for a night, and don't move them around casually."
The clinic usually does not let patients stay overnight, but the conditions of the two patients are quite serious and neither of them is conscious. Moreover, it is the late at night and they have rushed here from the countryside. It would be too cruel to kick them out like this.
Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, the clinic will naturally make concessions.
Sun Fangniang's face was full of gratitude, "Thank you, doctor."
Doctor Xu saw the bruises on her face, sighed and said, "Let's treat the wounds on the girl's face." It was a beast who beat such a good little girl like this.
“No, no need…”
Sun Fangniang was about to refuse, but Yu Li said, "Then I'll trouble you, doctor."
Doctor Xu went to the medicine cabinet and took out a bottle of Huichuntang homemade ointment and handed it to Yu Jin, saying, "Little girl, help her apply it on the injured parts of her body." He looked at Sun Fangniang's neck again and said, "Apply it on her neck as well."
Although I didn't know Sun Fangniang and her son, I could guess what they were like by looking at their miserable appearance.
He has seen too many things about birth, aging, sickness and death, but every time he sees this, he can't help but sigh.
When Doctor Xu left, there were only a few people in the room.
Medicine was applied to the injured parts of Sun Fangniang's body. A cool feeling covered the burning sensation of the wounds, making her feel a lot more comfortable, but then a wave of fatigue came over her.
It was only when she saw her mother and brother lying unconscious on the bamboo beds that she could cheer up.
Sun Fangniang looked at Yu Li and Yu Jin, feeling very grateful to them, and said, "Li Niang, Jin Niang, thank you so much today!"
What happened tonight was like a dream.
She had never thought that such a terrifying Sun Datian would be defeated and even have his legs broken by Zheng Ge'er...
She and her brother grew up in the violence of Sun Datian. The fear of him was ingrained in their bones, and they dared not resist at all, because every resistance was accompanied by even more terrible violence.
When people are afraid of being beaten, they dare not resist.
They could only endure it, their fear of Sun Datian growing day by day, and finally they endured it all numbly.
Until today, Yu Li knocked Sun Datian down easily and lifted him up by the neck. Such a strong man was like a dead dog, without his usual arrogance, without his terrible fists and violence, as if he was vulnerable.
It turns out that Sun Datian can also be defeated...
Courage spread within her, and she was finally able to muster the strength to resist.
Yu Jin waved her hand and asked, "Cousin Fangniang, you can't go back to the village now, where will you live in the future?"
She frowned, thinking about how to arrange them.
Since you have already intervened, you can't just sit there and do nothing. They have a good relationship with my aunt, so how can I just watch them suffer?
A while ago, she said she wanted to rent a house in the county town. However, she was very busy during this period and it was the autumn harvest time, so she decided to wait until after the autumn harvest to rent a house in the county town. But she didn't expect to encounter these things first.
It seems that renting a house is necessary.
She could rent a bigger house and let her aunt and her family live there first. If Fangniang was willing, she could also ask her to help with the housework.
She has many businesses she wants to do, and she clearly feels that she does not have enough manpower. If Fang Niang is willing...
Sun Fangniang was a little confused, then she thought of something and said, "We can stay at my aunt's house for a while."
"You mean my aunt?" Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, "That's fine." Then he asked, "Do you know where my aunt's home is?"
Yu Li and her sisters don't know where Yu Xiaogu lives.
The main reason is that the two aunts have a bad relationship with their mother's family and rarely go back. They never ask their mother's family for help when they have something to do, and they have never thought of asking their mother's family to visit them.
The sisters had never been to the county before and didn't know where their aunt lived. Although they were doing business in the county during this period, they were busy every day and had no time to visit their aunt who lived in the county.
"I know!" Sun Fangniang thought of something and tears came out of her eyes. "I have been to the county town before. My mother took me and Zheng Ge'er to my aunt's house..."
At that time, my aunt also said that if they and their son really couldn't make ends meet, they could come to her.
The aunt also knew what kind of person Sun Datian was. That was why she always resented her parents' favoritism and the way they treated their daughter as a commodity, saying that she would never forgive them in her life.
But her mother was afraid of bringing trouble to her aunt, so she never agreed and even rarely visited her aunt.
People like Sun Datian are like leeches, bringing misfortune to anyone who gets involved with them. Her mother felt that she had been unlucky all her life and did not want to bring misfortune to her sister.
Yu Li sat aside, listening to their discussion casually, and couldn't help but touch her belly.
After her special power was used up, her stomach was already hungry. The fact that it didn't growl was due to her restraint. She couldn't go to bed yet. It was uncomfortable to be hungry all the time.
Seeing that the two had come to an agreement, she asked, "Are you hungry?"
The two of them turned to look at her at the same time. Just as Sun Fangniang was about to say something, she saw Yu Jin's face change drastically.
"Sister, are you hungry?" she said anxiously, "What should I do? It's so late, is there anything to eat on the street?" She was not familiar with the county town at night, and didn't know if there was anything to sell.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin went to find the pharmacist who was decocting medicine to ask about this matter.
The medicine man was a little confused. Seeing her serious face, he thought they were very hungry, so he said, "Go to the street near the pier. There is a small alley across the street. There are stalls selling midnight snacks there at night. But that street is quite dangerous, so be careful..."
"Really? Thank you so much."
Knowing that there would be something to sell in the evening, Yu Jin happily turned to find Yu Li and told her the news. As for the dangers that the medicine apprentice mentioned, she didn't take it seriously at all.
No matter how dangerous it is, is it more dangerous than her sister?
Yu Li was also very happy and said, "Then let's go eat something."
"Big sister, I'll go with you." Yu Jin said, "We'll bring some food back for cousin Fangniang and the others later."
Yu Li nodded.
Sun Fangniang had to look after her mother and brother, so she didn't dare to leave without permission. But she was also a little worried, "It's so late, you guys have to be careful..."
"Don't be afraid!" Yu Jin said with a smile, "I have my sister here."
Sun Fangniang: “…”
Thinking of the scene where Yu Li grabbed Sun Datian's neck and lifted him up, Sun Fangniang was speechless.
She never knew that Yu Li was so strong.
It seems that there is no need to worry...
The two sisters left the clinic together and walked towards the street near the pier.
When leaving the house, Yu Jin suddenly asked, "Sister, how much silver did you bring?"
She didn't expect that her aunt and her family were so badly injured, so she sent them to the clinic in the middle of the night, so she didn't bring much money with her when she left. In fact, she thought of bringing money because she had developed a habit of doing business recently. If she hadn't split up the family before, she would never have thought of bringing money with her when she went out.
At that time, I went everywhere with empty hands.
Yu Li took out the purse, which was very heavy.
She weighed it and said, "It should be twenty taels."
In addition to some small change, there was also a silver ingot, which together weighed about twenty taels.
Yu Jin was surprised and asked, "Sister, do you always carry so much silver when you go out?"
"Yes!" Yu Li said the truth, "If I see something delicious but don't have enough money, that would be a shame."
So no matter where she went, she must carry money with her, and the silver on her must not be less than twenty taels.
Yu Jin: “…”
-
Huichun Hall was very close to the pier, and they arrived at their destination in just over a quarter of an hour.
I saw the street ahead was brightly lit and bustling. Even so late, there were still shops open, and many people were coming in and out of many stores.
Yu Jin was dazzled. It was the first time she realized that the county town was so lively at night.
Suddenly, she saw a red building with gorgeous decorations and a row of red lanterns hanging in front of the door. In front of the building, there were many girls in beautiful clothes soliciting customers. They were charming and flirtatious, flirting with the men, and being hugged by the waists by those men...
"Don't look."
Yu Li turned her face back, half covered her face with his hands, and calmly led her across the street, ignoring the gazes of the men around them.
Yu Jin asked blankly, "Sister, what was going on in that building just now?"
"A brothel." Yu Li said calmly, "Next to the brothel is the gambling house."
Ever since she came to work in the county town, she has regarded the county town as her "territory" and habitually patrolled it first. She has already figured out the county town clearly - of course, she has only figured out the county town during the day, and she has not yet figured out the county town at night.
Yu Jin blinked and tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
She naturally knew what a brothel was, and she was a little stunned when she saw it for the first time.
But her sister is such a simple person, but she actually knows about places like brothels...
After crossing the main street, we came to another alley, where we saw quite a few stalls selling late-night snacks. Some sold noodles, buns, wontons and other pasta, as well as roasted meat, yokan, braised meat and some sweet soups and drinks. The whole street was filled with the aroma of food.
The streets are narrow and have a sense of worldly life, which is in sharp contrast to the brightly lit street next door.
This alley is not far from the main street. Generally, those who come here for midnight snacks are men who come out of brothels and casinos, or some idlers wandering outside at night. Few ordinary people come out to eat so late.
When the Yu Jin sisters came over, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
Especially those idle men, all their eyes were glued to the two sisters.
Yu Li chose a noodle stall with few customers and ordered five bowls of shredded pork noodles.
After the shredded pork noodles came, she pushed one bowl in front of Yu Jin, and the remaining four bowls were hers.
Having eaten dinner early and having been busy all night, Yu Jin was actually hungry, so she picked up some noodles and started eating them.
When she saw the elder sister eating noodles, she felt that the noodles seemed to be more delicious, which made her very hungry.
Those who were secretly observing the two sisters watched for a while, and suddenly they also had a strong desire to eat noodles, and then they came over and asked for a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
Yu Li ate quickly and finished the four bowls in no time.
Then she went to eat wontons, roasted meat, yokan, sweet soup, etc., trying almost all the stalls in the alley.
Everyone: "..." Is this girl too much of an eater?
Those diners who couldn't help but try the food with her because she was eating so deliciously were finally unable to move and had to lie down at their seats. Then they noticed that the girl was still eating, and watching her eat still made them want to eat too.
No, my stomach is too full!
They couldn't help but wonder, this girl was so thin, where did she get all the food?
On the contrary, the owners of the stalls selling midnight snacks were extremely happy. Seeing Yu Li coming to buy something, they gave her some extra food and said with a smile, "Come back when you have time in the future, young lady."
Yu Li nodded, indicating that she would definitely come in the future.
After eating and drinking, they did not forget to bring some food for Sun Fangniang and the others.
Yu Jin touched his bulging belly and said contentedly, "If I eat like this every night, I will definitely get fat in the future."
The thought of getting fat filled her face with longing.
Among the people these days, there are only those who are pale and thin due to hunger, and very few are fat. If there is anyone who is fat, it must be because their family lives well and has no shortage of food and drink.
She also hopes that she can gain weight in the future to prove that her family must be living a good life.
Of course, she can't be too fat, as being too fat will affect her work and business.
Yu Li was thinking about the possibility of buying a house in the county town.
She had thought about moving to the county town before, but she didn't want to buy a house because houses in the county town were not cheap.
Now, she has some money in her hands. Although there may not be much left after buying the house, she knows that there are so many delicious midnight snacks in the county town. She thinks it’s okay to buy a house. She moves here with her mother-in-law and others. When she is hungry at night, she will go out for midnight snacks.
When the two of them returned, they still passed through that street.
But when he passed by a gambling house, several gamblers were thrown out by the gambling house and almost hit Yu Jin.
Yu Li quickly pulled his sister aside, avoiding the people who were rushing over, and looked dimly at the thugs coming out of the gambling house.
The gambling house thugs were stunned for a moment when they saw them, and then they laughed.
"Where did these two young ladies come from? Why are they not at home to serve their husbands in the middle of the night? Instead, they are here to look for their lovers?"
The words were really frivolous and the look was very lewd, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Several thugs from the gambling house looked at the two sisters, and then looked at each other.
In the middle of the night, two beautiful girls passed by here. They looked helpless and it was hard not to have some suspicions. Those thugs working in the gambling house were definitely not good people.
If you are a good person, you really can't do this job.
Several people started talking in a dirty way.
"Young lady, don't look for a lover. What do you think about us? We can be your lovers."
"Come on, call me Brother Qing first, and I'll take you in to play and let you see it."
“…”
Yu Jin blushed with anger.
Yu Li's response was to kick the talking thug directly, sending him flying. The man hit a signboard of the gambling house next to him hard, smashing it to pieces.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
This is a blatant provocation!
The gambling house's sign stood there, and no one dared to move it. Everyone on this street knew that the gambling house had a very strong background. Even the yamen runners would retreat when passing by, not daring to provoke the gambling house and turning a blind eye to some of the gambling house's affairs.
At this moment, a young lady actually dared to provoke the gambling house and smashed the gambling house’s signboard!
The gambling house's thugs all looked unhappy.
They were in a bad mood. The gambling house's signboard was smashed by her. Even if the county magistrate came, they had to catch this woman, otherwise how could the gambling house save face.
Several thugs rushed towards Yu Li and tried to catch her.
Yu Li pushed his sister aside, turned around, jumped up on the spot, and kicked these thugs away one by one. One thug was even kicked into the air and smashed directly into the plaque at the main entrance of the gambling house, and the plaque and the man fell down together.
The sound of "bang bang bang" was endless, and the sound of the gambling house's signboard falling to the ground was extremely obvious.
Seeing this scene, not only the gamblers who were thrown out were stunned, but even the people in the brothel next to the gambling house were stunned, looking at Yu Li who was standing there with disbelief on their faces.
It was hard for them not to wonder if she had done it on purpose.
Are you here to kick the shit out of the place?
