Chapter 105 Coma
Tang Qiwen never expected that such a village woman would dare to speak to him like that.
Who gave her the courage?
Wan Qiqi suppressed her dissatisfaction. If Tang Qiwen said one more word, it would set off a firecracker. Even if she was treated as an outcast, she would avenge Chen Yongliang and vent her anger.
Tang Qiwen didn't give her a chance, or even ask any more questions. He waved to his men and left the market.
At this point, the onlookers dispersed, but they couldn't help but discuss the matter.
Some people believe that the person selling sweet soup should not have overestimated himself and provoked Tang Qiwen.
Some people sighed for Chen Yongliang, who seemed to be badly injured.
Some people are talking about Wan Qiqi, saying that she won't get away with treating Tang Qiwen this way.
No one dared to criticize Tang Qiwen...
Wan Qiqi scoffed.
So many stories of people bravely stepping in to help others in movies and TV shows are just fiction.
There aren't that many acts of heroism! Everyone's too busy to do anything!
At this moment, Wan Qiqi finally realized the difference between ancient and modern times. This was no longer the society governed by the rule of law that she knew. There was no longer fairness and equality, only hierarchy.
Because he has powerful backers and money, he can do whatever he wants.
You're poor, you have no money, you have no power, so you can only be bullied and swallow your pride!
As the crowd dispersed, Wan Qiqi, with He's help, tripped Chen Yongliang and caused him to fall onto the mule cart.
Looking at Chen Yongliang, who was clutching his lower abdomen on the cart, Madam He reminded him, "Chen Wanshi, you should stay away from town for a while. Wait until things calm down before coming back, or go somewhere else. Just don't come to Hefeng Town."
Wan Qiqi glanced in the direction Tang Qiwen had left, then looked at Chen Yongliang, and said coldly, "Hiding is not my style."
Madam He didn't understand her meaning. Did she want to go against Young Master Tang?
Everyone in Hefeng Town knows the Tang family, one of the most powerful families in the north of town. Don't mess with them! Anyone who opposes the Tang family is either dead or thrown into jail by the county government!
Wan Qiqi knew that when she told He Shi, the other party didn't understand her thoughts, and she didn't need to explain.
Seeing that Chen Yongliang on the mule cart was already drowsy and the cart was not running smoothly enough to take people back to the village, he asked, "Which doctor in town is the best?"
After thinking for a while, Madam He replied, "There is a doctor named Ge in the Baicao Pavilion near the north of the town. His medical skills are the best in the town."
"Thanks, I'll treat you to sweet soup next time I come back." Wan Qiqi drove the mule cart away from the market.
The news of Tang Qiwen assaulting someone at the market spread throughout the entire town in just a few hours.
When Ajiu heard the news while she was out, she immediately rushed back to the academy, but Taoran and Wanziyan were still in class.
Seeing his flustered expression, Tao Jing asked him what was wrong and learned that Chen Yongliang had been thrown into the Hundred Herbs Pavilion. Without caring about anything else, she rushed into the school.
Tao Ran's face darkened, and he roared, "Get out!"
He disliked being disturbed during school hours, even by his own sister.
Before Tao Jing could even speak, she was kicked out.
She went to Wan Ziyan's school again and saw the students engrossed in practicing calligraphy. She coughed a few times.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on her.
Tao Jing disregarded everything else and waved to Wan Ziyan.
Wan Ziyan was somewhat bewildered. What did this little girl want to do?
You know, Tao Ran had punished her quite a few times before for disrupting school order, so why did she do it again today?
However, he felt uneasy today, and Tao Jing's flustered expression made him even more uneasy.
When Tao Jing saw Wan Ziyan come out, she hurriedly grabbed his hand and tried to run outside, but the difference in strength was too great, and she couldn't move him for a long time. She could only turn around anxiously and say, "Brother Ziyan, something happened to Sister Wan's dessert stall. She's at Baicao Pavilion now!"
Wan Ziyan paused, the book slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, her face turning deathly pale in an instant. "You... what did you say? She's injured?"
“I don’t know either. Ah Jiu heard it on the street. Everyone was saying that it was Tang the Scoundrel who caused trouble, smashed up the stalls, and beat people up… Hey, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go take a look!” After saying that, Tao Jing pulled Wan Ziyan and prepared to leave.
"Tang the Scoundrel" was a nickname Tao Jing gave to Tang Qiwen because she thought he was a rogue and a hooligan, and he had been a disgrace to Zhenxi for a long time.
Many people in Zhenxi disliked Tang Qiwen, but because his family had powerful backers, they wouldn't show it. They would just say a few flattering words when they saw him and that would be the end of it!
But there were many rumors about him in the town. He had never been shy about bullying men and women and abusing his power. Everyone knew that he often went to the market to collect fees.
His family didn't lack those few copper coins; he was just looking for trouble and having some fun.
I never expected they would actually hit someone this time!
Wan Ziyan followed Tao Jing for a couple of steps, then stopped abruptly. Turning back to look at the students in the academy, he took a deep breath and said, "Go to Baicaotang first and tell Elder Ge to use the best medicine he can find. The Wan family of Zhenbei will pay for everything. Do you understand?"
Tao Jing paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Go quickly! Your brother and I will be there later!" Wan Ziyan watched Tao Jing leave, his heart following her.
But he was the teacher of the academy, and he couldn't abandon his students to attend to personal matters; it was his responsibility.
The sun gradually disappeared behind the eaves, leaving only a dim, yellow afterglow.
Wan Qiqi felt very heavy-hearted as she watched Doctor Ge force-feed medicine to Chen Yongliang.
If she hadn't knowingly set up a stall despite the potential trouble, Chen Yongliang wouldn't have been beaten.
Ultimately, it's because I'm too weak that I'm bullied like this.
She followed Doctor Ge out and asked, "When will he wake up?"
