Chapter 32: Dam Repair
"Village chief, why isn't the boy from the Song family here?" a villager said, "He often goes up the mountain to hunt, so I'm afraid he doesn't know about this."
The village chief said calmly, "Go to his house and tell him the news. He is quite skilled and often catches prey, so he should be able to pay for it."
The other villagers dispersed.
When the women in the village saw Li Taohua, they came over one by one.
"Mrs. Huiyin, your family still hasn't found the 50 taels of silver, and now another 2 taels of silver are coming. What should we do? In my opinion, it's better to agree to Boss Chen."
Li Taohua stopped and looked at the woman who was speaking with cold eyes.
The woman was startled by her expression, and moved aside cautiously, saying guiltily, "I mean well, too."
"Your black heart is full of holes. Who do you think is a fool? How can you believe that you have good intentions? Listen carefully. If you dare to have ideas about my daughter again, I will make your village live in peace. If you have the energy to take care of me, you might as well take care of your man. I heard that he lost his pants again. You have been scolding him for a long time, but you don’t really think that the pants he wears can be lost, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean you don't understand?"
"You bitch, did you do something to the child's father?"
"Hehe, I've been going out early and coming back late recently. I've been working every day. I'm doing the right thing and standing upright. You can just ask around and you'll know where I am. Besides, your man is so short and fat that I can't eat him. I think the two taels of meat are too dirty. Ugh..." Li Taohua looked nauseous and wanted to vomit.
The woman next to them was eating melon seeds and watching the two people swearing at each other. But it was obvious that Li Taohua's fighting ability was too strong, and the woman was almost fainted by anger.
Qin Huiyin tried hard to recall the plot of the original novel.
According to the original novel, Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao were already dead, and only Tang Dafu, Li Taohua and her daughter, and Tang Yichen were left at home. In the original novel, Chen Zhongyi did not come to the Tang family to make a scene, and the fifty taels of silver seemed to have evaporated, and no one mentioned it. When the government asked each family to contribute one person to repair the dam, Li Taohua's reaction was the same as now, she was unwilling to pay the money and asked Tang Yichen to repair the dam. As a result, Tang Yichen took out two taels of silver to settle the matter.
How could a despicable person like Chen Zhongyi not come to collect the debt? If he originally came for Li Taohua, does that mean that Li Taohua in the original novel let the other party succeed?
Yes. At that time, the male protagonist had completely hated his biological father, stepmother and stepsister, and he almost never went home. After Tang Dafu was able to go to the fields, he was left with the sequelae of leg disease and could only do farm work, and he did not go to the city to work again. But Li Taohua's life has always been good, and she still has beautiful clothes to wear and beautiful jewelry to wear. She is still the most criticized woman in the village, and she is always flirting. She raised her daughter very well, and the original owner was just as selfish and extravagant as her.
Qin Huiyin had only thought of them as paper figures, without any deep feelings. The whole novel revolves around the hero, so it is mostly from the hero's perspective. As for the supporting characters, even their roles were just a few passing mentions, and there were only two or three chapters in total. It was not easy for her to remember this part.
"Yinyin, are you worried about your brother?" Seeing that she had been silent, Tang Luwu thought that she was worried about Tang Yichen who was left behind by the village chief.
Qin Huiyin shook her head gently: "No. The village chief kept Brother Chen because he was worried that our family would ask Brother Chen to repair the dam. If he knew that we were originally planning to spend money to settle this matter, he would be relieved."
When the two passed by Song Ruize's house, they saw Song Ruize's uncle being pushed out of the fence gate by Song Ruize.
"You little bastard, I'm your uncle, how dare you disrespect your elders like this..."
Song Ruize was dishevelled and stained with blood. He glanced viciously at Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu who were passing by.
Tang Luwu was frightened by him and pulled Qin Huiyin away at a quickened pace.
Qin Huiyin looked back in the direction of Song Ruize, and saw Song Ruize pulling out the dagger from his waist, while the Song family's uncle ran away in fear, cursing.
Perhaps noticing the gaze, Song Ruize looked in the direction of Qin Huiyin. His red eyes were sinister, like an evil ghost crawling out from the ground.
BANG! He fell down.
Qin Huiyin grabbed Tang Luwu and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Tang Luwu asked.
"I suddenly remembered that I left something in the ancestral hall. You go back first, I'll go get it and be back soon."
"I'll accompany you."
"No, there are still many things to do at home, you go back to work first."
Tang Luwu had no doubts.
Qin Huiyin walked back and looked around when she stood outside the Song family's gate. When she was sure that no one had discovered her, she pushed open the gate and walked in.
She didn't want to be sneaky, because the relationship between this body and the Tang and Song families was so awkward. Strictly speaking, this Song Ruize was also the stepbrother of the original owner. However, her mother remarried and treated Song Ruize so badly. If she suddenly appeared in the Song family, who knows how many versions of the story would be spread.
Song Ruize was lying on the ground.
His face was red and his breathing was rapid, it was obvious that he was ill.
She carried him with great effort, half carrying him, half dragging him into the room.
As soon as I entered the door, I was hit by the smell of blood. I saw a set of clothes that looked like they had been soaked in blood, and many rags stained with blood on the ground.
This is an injury, and a serious one.
Song Ruize always went hunting in the mountains, and his targets were all ferocious beasts. Although he would occasionally succeed in hunting prey, most of the time he would return empty-handed.
The people in the village only saw that he had such excellent skills at such a young age, but they did not see the efforts behind catching the prey.
She put Song Ruize on the bed.
At this time, Song Ruize's clothes were soaked with blood again.
She looked at him and said, "Brother, I want to save you, not take advantage of you. Don't hate me when you wake up."
In the original novel, the beautiful, strong and miserable villain was a paper man that she felt sorry for. He had a similar background to the hero, but he was the hero's control group. The hero had a teacher who loved him, a woman who loved him, and noble people who helped him, while the villain met people who plotted against him, used him, resented him, and feared him.
She took off Song Ruize's clothes.
"Oh my God..." She looked at the hideous wound on her abdomen in shock.
The wound had begun to fester, obviously it had been there for more than a day or two.
"Are you a fool? You were so injured, why didn't you go to the doctor? You don't have money? That's impossible. Where did you sell the prey you hunted before?"
Qin Huiyin kept muttering to herself, not expecting an unconscious person to respond to her.
"You wait here, I'm going to the mountain to pick some herbs to stop bleeding and dissolve blood stasis." Qin Huiyin said, "Luckily, I used to be a miscellaneous blogger, and I took my fans to survive in the wild and taught them to identify wild herbs for a few months. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to handle this matter."
