Chapter 242: Village Head's Grandson
The steward was reluctant, and he glanced at Xu Zhichun with disdain and sneered: "Why? Do you think I'll owe you a mere twenty taels of silver?"
"Manager Zhang is wealthy, so he certainly wouldn't refuse to pay. But for us, a small family, twenty taels of silver is a huge sum of money. Without a receipt, we're always worried. Besides, taking the money without a receipt, is that the way Manager Zhang does business?"
The crowd gathered together in low voices, their eyes flickering slightly, and they all obviously felt that Xu Zhichun was right.
Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount. Isn't it normal for people to ask for a receipt to feel at ease?
Manager Zhang was a little annoyed, but he had to admit that he was in the wrong. He asked Xu Zhichun to wait a moment with a sullen face, and quickly wrote a receipt and stuffed it into her hand: "You have some sense. Get out of here now."
Xu Zhichun opened the receipt and took a look at it, then hurriedly helped Liang Xiaoman leave with Yang Xiaoan.
Liang Xiaoman had no strength in his left leg, and his left shoulder and arm were badly swollen. As soon as he was helped up, his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xu Zhichun was secretly anxious. What should he do?
Yang Xiaoan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll carry Xiaoman."
However, although Yang Xiaoan is a generation older than Liang Xiaoman, he is younger and thinner than Liang Xiaoman. Even though his family's life is better now and he has gained some weight, he still looks thin and cannot carry Liang Xiaoman at all.
Although Chunfen is strong and can easily carry two Liang Xiaomans, she is a girl after all. Even if she is a little silly, she is still a girl. There is no reason to let her carry them.
She wanted to hire someone, but Liang Xiaoman was so badly injured that no one dared to come forward. The steward, Zhang, sneered and sneered with a fierce look in his eyes, making it clear that he didn't want anyone to help, so no one dared to step forward.
"Let me do it."
Xu Zhichun had no choice but to go on his own.
Anyway, she is Liang Xiaoman's elder, so it's reasonable.
Xu Zhichun overestimated her own strength. In addition, Liang Xiaoman was seriously injured, so she did not dare to be too casual. She had to be very careful for fear of touching his injured area. She had to grit her teeth and hold on. Yang Xiaoan was also worried as she supported her.
"Hey, isn't this Madam Xu? Oh, this person is injured. How can we let Madam Xu suffer like this? Qi Tong, Qi Gui, go and help."
Hearing the loud shouting, Xu Zhichun just wanted to curse.
She was originally holding her breath and holding on, but she was interrupted by the playboy who stopped her from talking that day. She stumbled and almost fell down.
She glared at Young Master Qi fiercely, gritted her teeth and ignored him. Holding her breath, she carried Liang Xiaoman to an open place with trembling legs.
Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Zhichun had to carefully place Liang Xiaoman on the ground with the help of Yang Xiaoan and Chunfen. "Xiaoan, go drive our ox cart over here."
"Um."
"Wait a minute, why bother? Madam Xu, my carriage is right next to us, so why not take mine? Besides, a carriage is not only more comfortable, but also faster and more stable. I see this young man's injuries are quite serious, so we'd better get him there as soon as possible. If we delay treatment now and cause some serious consequences that we'll regret for the rest of our lives, wouldn't that be terrible?"
Xu Zhichun choked and cursed inwardly, "Shameless!"
She cursed this tangled bastard again and again in her heart, but said nothing with a sullen face.
As for the external injuries, Liang Xiaoman seemed to be in good condition now, and even if he took the ox cart to see the doctor, he would not be seriously injured due to the delay. However, she was not in a position to say this. The main reason was that she did not know what kind of person Liang Xiaoman was.
For the sake of the village head, she couldn't just stand by and watch something like this happen, but she didn't want to have anything to do with this greasy guy, nor did she want Liang Xiaoman to misunderstand her because of this.
Xu Zhichun simply pretended not to hear what the greasy man said and looked anxiously in the direction where Yang Xiaoan left.
Young Master Qi chuckled, feeling very gentle and considerate. "Madam Xu, we are acquaintances, right? Could it be that Madam Xu still doesn't trust me? I really just want to help. Madam Xu is such a kind person, could she bear to let this little brother suffer more?"
Xu Zhichun couldn't help but get angry: "Acquaintance? I'm so sorry, I don't know you. We country people are timid and dare not easily accept charity from strangers without reason. Who knows what traps are waiting here? If there are any bad consequences, we can't afford it. Xiaoman, please bear with it for a while, Xiaoan should be here soon."
Qi Tong couldn't help but sneer and scold: "My young master is kind-hearted, don't be shameless!"
Liang Xiaoman endured the pain and looked up at Xu Zhichun and smiled: "Aunt Zhichun, don't worry, I'm fine. I think I'm fine, really. What you said makes sense. I will follow your arrangements."
He is a reasonable person.
Xu Zhichun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely save you. It's just a broken bone, you'll be fine."
When she gets back tonight, she will go into the warehouse and look for ointments and internal medicines to treat fractures and injuries.
Qi Tong became even angrier: "Good intentions go unrewarded, what a joke!"
Xu Zhichun and Liang Xiaoman pretended not to hear.
Liang Chunfen glared at Qi Yitong.
Qi Tong got excited and glared back: "Silly girl, why are you glaring at me?"
Liang Chunfen: "You are cursing."
Qi Tong didn't expect Liang Chunfen to be so frank. He choked and felt aggrieved for no reason: "What's wrong with scolding you? You deserve it."
Liang Chunfen: "If you curse, I'll glare at you. If you curse again, I'll beat you up."
"You dare!"
Liang Chunfen rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try.
Xu Zhichun patted her hand gently and shook his head, "Let's quickly send Xiaoman to the clinic."
Liang Chunfen came back to his senses and nodded quickly: "Yes!"
Yang Xiaoan finally drove the ox cart over.
Xu Zhichun and Liang Chunfen tried to send Liang Xiaoman to the ox cart.
Young Master Qi, who was humiliated, was not so tolerant and didn't care at all. He secretly winked at Qi Tong.
Qi Tong nodded secretly and pretended to "accidentally" bump into Xu Zhichun.
Yang Xiaoan saw it clearly and was horrified: "Be careful!"
Xu Zhichun blurted out, "Beat him!"
Liang Chunfen swung his arm without thinking, sweeping past Qi Tong. Qi Tong screamed "Ouch!" and took more than ten steps back, falling heavily to the ground.
After carefully placing Liang Xiaoman on the ox cart, Yang Xiaoan hurriedly jumped down to help him sit down.
Qi Tong reluctantly got up from the ground and said, "Young Master"
Young Master Qi was annoyed. "You pushed this young master's people, don't you have anything to say?"
Xu Zhichun: "My Chunfen just waved his hand lightly. Who can he blame for falling down? Or, if you want compensation, just tell me how much you want."
Young Master Qi was stunned. Of course he couldn't ask for compensation.
Asking for compensation would be inconsistent with his character and would make him seem too petty. How can he continue to pester her and get close to her?
