The next morning.
Madam Lin gently knocked on the door. "Qing'er, I've cooked some rice porridge for you. Would you like me to bring it in?"
After a busy night, Chen Qingqing finally finished administering all the IV fluids in the early hours of the morning.
Having not slept all night, her face was etched with fatigue, but her eyes still shone brightly. Hearing Lin's voice, she quickly got up, pushed open the door, and came out.
Chen Feng is still inside the spatial dimension. If Madam Sun discovers that no one is in the house, how will she explain it?
You can't just conjure people out of thin air, can you? That would scare Mom to death!
"Mom, give it to me, I'll eat it later."
Chen Qingqing's voice was hoarse, sounding low and weak.
Seeing this, Madam Lin felt extremely distressed. "Daughter, you must be exhausted. Why don't you eat something and go to sleep for a while? I'll take care of your older brother."
“No need. Although my elder brother is out of danger, you still can’t see him. I’ve thoroughly disinfected this room, so it’s sterile. If you bring the virus in, it will be bad for his recovery. Just bear with it for two more days, and I promise you a healthy son.”
Hearing her talk about disinfection and sterility, Madam Lin didn't understand what she meant, but knowing that she wouldn't harm Chen Feng, she nodded, "Alright, Mother will listen to you."
Lin peeked into the house, really wanting to stay and take care of her son.
My daughter has already stayed up all night. What if she continues to stay up and ruins her health?
But she couldn't persuade Chen Qingqing otherwise, so she reluctantly turned and left.
After thinking it over all night, Chen Qingqing decided to have Da Bao go to the Anyang County government office to report the case and have the coroner examine the injuries. Otherwise, once the wound heals in a few days, the county government office will have no way to preserve evidence.
After three days of treatment, Chen Feng is out of danger, and the swelling on his face has subsided considerably, making it possible to vaguely recognize his original appearance.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but marvel at the power of the space, where Chen Feng's condition recovered more quickly.
Before he was fully awake, they took him out of the space. Now, apart from not being able to eat, he is fine.
The Chen Zhanshan couple, who were waiting at the door, looked at Chen Qingqing, who had lost weight from taking care of her son these past few days, with expressions of heartache on their faces.
"Daughter, you've had a hard time these past few days."
Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled. She was indeed exhausted. Post-operative recovery work was usually handled by caregivers, so there was no need for her to do it herself.
The past three days and nights had left her scalp tingling and her head spinning, but thankfully, the exhaustion paid off, and Chen Feng finally passed the critical period.
In a few more days, the tracheotomy tube can be removed, the vocal cords can be restored, and then I will be able to speak normally.
"Dad, Mom, I'm not tired. You two go in and check on my older brother first. If nothing goes wrong, he'll be able to get out of bed and move around in a couple of days." Chen Qingqing planned to take a shower first. She felt like she was going to rot after taking care of Chen Feng so much these past few days.
Lin and Chen Zhanshan cautiously entered the house, their faces filled with heartache as they looked at Chen Feng, whose throat had been cut open.
With tears in her eyes, Madam Lin grasped Chen Feng's hand, "My son, you've suffered so much."
Although Chen Feng was conscious, his lungs were injured, and Chen Qingqing had performed a tracheotomy on him, so he couldn't speak yet.
Tears of guilt streamed down his face. He wanted to apologize to his parents for making them worry, but he couldn't move and could only weep silently.
Seeing that his wife couldn't control her emotions and fearing it would aggravate his son's injury, Chen Zhanshan quickly patted Lin's shoulder and said, "Xiumei, let Feng'er rest and recover. Let's go outside and talk."
"good."
"Feng'er, take good care of your injuries and don't move around too much. Father will come to see you in a little while."
Chen Zhanshan was filled with questions: Why was Chen Feng beaten like this? Who beat him? And why?
These questions had been weighing on his mind.
dining room.
Knowing how hard Chen Qingqing had worked, Mrs. Lin specially cooked her congee with preserved egg and lean pork, steamed pork buns, pickled cucumber, and stir-fried shredded pork with scallions...
Chen Qingqing took a hot bath and finally felt much more relaxed. Seeing the several small dishes on the table, she smiled happily.
"Mom, you're so good to me, you made so many delicious things for me."
“Daughter, you’ve been exhausted these past few days. Starting today, you should rest well. Leave the care of your brother to your father and me.”
"Okay." Chen Qingqing said, picking up a piece of food with her chopsticks and putting it in her mouth. "It smells so good!"
Chen Zhanshan placed the bowl of rice porridge in front of her, and reminded her, "Girl, eat slowly."
"Thank you, Dad." Chen Qingqing smiled knowingly. This feeling of being cared for was something she had never experienced in her previous life. Now that the family was getting better and better and life was gradually getting back on track, it was wonderful.
Through Chen Feng's incident, she realized that in this era, money alone is not enough; without power, one will sooner or later become someone else's prey.
While it's easy to earn money on your own, finding a powerful backer isn't so simple. Even if Chen Han has a bright future ahead of him, what about now?
Suddenly, she thought of Xiaoyu, a man from the Ning Prince's mansion; perhaps he could protect her...
No, no, it's too far. A distant source of water can't quench an immediate thirst; we can't count on it at all.
It would be better to keep a low profile in the future, but she would never let this matter with Chen Feng go unpunished.
Just then, Chen Zhanshan's voice rang out, "Qing girl, what exactly happened to your brother's injuries? Who beat him up like this?"
Chen Zhanshan had considered countless possibilities and had been patiently enduring these past few days.
If he finds out who did it, he'll definitely chop them up to avenge his son.
Lin also spoke up indignantly, "Yes, which damned bastard did this? Beating someone to death like that, there's no law at all! Let's report this to the authorities and arrest those inhuman murderers."
"Father, Mother, Wu Shiren and his accountant said my brother got drunk and harassed a young woman on the street, and got beaten up..."
Even if they didn't ask, Chen Qingqing would tell them the truth. She then repeated to Chen Zhanshan and his wife what Wang Decai had said to him.
Lin shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, your elder brother would never do such a heinous thing."
Chen Zhanshan casually chimed in, "You're right, I don't believe Chen Feng is that kind of kid either."
"Husband, we can't let our son suffer such an injustice. We have to report it to the authorities. I don't believe the county magistrate can just sit idly by."
Chen Zhanshan frowned. Although he didn't believe his son was frivolous, what if it was true?
After all, her son was already nineteen years old, well past the age of marriage.
Children his age in the village were already married, and some of them were already running around in the streets.
His belief wavered a little. Maybe his eldest son, drunk, had lost his temper and touched the young woman's buttocks. Who knows?
Thinking about it this way, he shook his head and sighed.
"Mother of my child, it's better not to go to court. Everyone's saying that our Da Bao was at fault first, which is why he suffered this misfortune. It's a miracle he didn't die."
If they were to report it to the authorities, not only would they fail to catch the murderer, but the officials might also turn around and accuse Chen Feng of harassing a woman.
If that were to happen, Chen Feng's reputation would be ruined, and his life would be over.
