Liang Yujin said anxiously, "I'm fine, my stomach doesn't hurt. You can't tell Wei Xiao about this. Please keep it a secret for me and don't tell anyone."
Ever since she drank that bowl of deer placenta soup, she became pregnant.
Her mother-in-law and Wei Xiao asked her to stay at home to cook and take care of her pregnancy and not to go to work.
She didn't feel anything, so she thought about going to the mountains to pick up some firewood.
But Qin Wuqiang was so bold that he stopped her and tried to bully her.
Goudan happened to see it and called Xie Shuijun over.
When Xie Shuijun was helping her, he was pinned down and beaten by Qin Wuqiang, a gangster. She rushed over to pull Qin Wuqiang away, but he pushed her away and hit her head, causing her to faint.
She didn't want anyone to know about this.
Because Qin Wuqiang just said that he knew Wei Xiao and Qin Li were raising pigs in the mountains, and if she didn't obey him, he would go to the public security bureau to report them.
She was afraid that if she told others about what happened today, Qin Wuqiang would reveal the pig farming matter, and Wei Xiao's life would be over.
Chen Tan thought she was afraid of ruining her reputation, so he turned around and looked at Xie Shuijun and Goudan, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Just keep it as our little secret."
Goudan nodded heavily, "Aunt Yujin, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
Xie Shuijun's forehead and left cheek were covered in bruises, and his eyes were filled with anger. "Why didn't you say anything? Brother Li should have taught that beast Qin Wuqiang a lesson."
"No, Brother Li can't know," Liang Yujin cried. "Shui Jun, I beg you, if Brother Li and Wei Xiao find out, they will definitely go after Qin Wuqiang. Then they'll be finished, and all of us will be finished."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tan asked cautiously, "What do you mean? Did Qin Wuqiang threaten you? What did he say?"
"No, it's okay," Liang Yujin struggled to get up from the ground, "Come on, let's go back. We'll just say we accidentally fell down the mountain and nothing happened."
"Let's go see Grandpa Xie first."
Chen Tan supported her and took her pulse. It turned out that there was nothing serious.
"No, I'm not going. I'm going back now. You guys go and get busy."
Liang Yujin was very resistant and picked up her basket to leave.
Chen Tan frowned and took her basket, "I'll take you back."
Xie Shuijun and Goudan also followed the two men, carrying their baskets.
When they arrived at the Wei family's house, Wei Mancang was sitting in the yard weaving straw sandals. Seeing Liang Yujin's disheveled appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's okay, Dad. I'm fine. I just accidentally stepped on air and slipped down the grassy slope. I went to see Doctor Xie, and he's fine."
Liang Yujin finished explaining calmly, but Wei Mancang was extremely worried. "Tan Nier, go call your aunt and Wei Xiao back and take Yujin to the hospital."
"No, I'm not going to the hospital." Liang Yujin became even more flustered upon hearing Wei Xiao's name. She looked at Chen Tan pleadingly, "Don't call Wei Xiao. I'm fine, really. Nothing's wrong at all."
Chen Tan sighed secretly. He could only tell Qin Li about this matter in private and ask him to warn Qin Wuqiang.
As for Wei Xiao, if he really knew, he would inevitably fight with Qin Wuqiang to the death, and something really would happen at that time.
Uncle Wei, Aunt Wu, and Liang Yujin are probably having a hard time.
She smiled at Wei Mancang, "Uncle Wei, don't worry. Grandpa Xie has checked it out. Sister Yujin and the child are fine. Just let her rest at home for the next few days and don't go out."
"Okay, I'm glad you're okay. Tanier and Shuijun, thank you." Wei Mancang said gratefully.
Chen Tan put his hand on Goudan's shoulder, "It was Goudan who discovered it, and it was he who asked us to rescue Sister Yu Jin. You should thank him well."
"So it was Goudan who did the good deed," Wei Mancang looked at Goudan gratefully, "Thank you very much. I'll bring you some candy when your Grandma Wu comes back."
"You're welcome, Grandpa Wei, you're welcome." Goudan smiled shyly.
Chen Tan saw Liang Yujin enter the house, told Wei Mancang that he would come over later, and left with Xie Shuijun and Goudan.
She saw a slap mark on Goudan's face and guessed that it was Qin Wuqiang who hit him.
"Goudan, your face is getting swollen. Auntie will take you to see Grandpa Xie."
"It's okay, I don't feel any pain." Goudan said with a smile.
"Then you have to go and see it, otherwise you won't be able to get a wife."
Chen Tan pulled him and followed the unhappy Xie Shuijun out of the house.
Goudan is ten years old this year. Because he doesn't have enough to eat, he has a big head and a thin neck.
After hearing what Chen Tan said, her face turned red with shame, but she no longer refused and went to take a look.
The three of them walked out of the village and into the fields. Chen Tan looked around, but seeing no one was around, he leaned over to Goudan and asked, "Did you hear what Qin Wuqiang said to Aunt Yujin?"
Goudan thought for a moment, "I followed Aunt Yujin up the mountain to collect firewood. When we got to that mountain cave, I saw a Chinese toon tree, so I ran over to pick some. After a while, I heard Aunt Yujin scolding Qin Wuqiang. She seemed to say that he knew about Uncle Wei Xiao and told Aunt Yujin to be honest. Then Aunt Yujin scolded him. I happened to see you picking herbs on the mountain from the tree, so I ran over to find you."
Wei Xiao's affairs? Chen Tan frowned. What did he know about Wei Xiao?
Is Liang Yujin threatened by what Qin Wuqiang said and is therefore hiding it from everyone?
She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking and took out a dollar from her pocket and gave it to Goudan, "How about doing me a favor?"
"Aunt Tan, what do you want me to do?" Goudan looked at the money but didn't take it.
Chen Tan squatted down, put a dollar in Goudan's hand, and whispered, "Take two good friends with you and follow Qin Wuqiang quietly. If Qin Wuqiang comes to see Yujin again, listen carefully to what he says to her. If he dares to bully her again, shout for help. This dollar is your daily wage."
She took out another handful of lard candy and gave it to him. "Remember one thing, no matter what you hear, don't tell anyone else. Only tell me."
It was unbelievable that Goudan took the money.
He heard from his parents that people in the city only earned more than 20 yuan a month, which was only a few cents a day.
He can earn one dollar a day, that's amazing.
He nodded heavily to Chen Tan, "Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone."
"Well, Goudan is really good."
Chen Tan took him by the hand and went to the health center with Xie Shuijun.
Xie Junqian looked at his injured grandson and instantly became angry. "Who beat him?"
Xie Shuijun looked at Chen Tan and muttered, "I fell while climbing the mountain."
Xie Junqian naturally didn't believe it. He looked at Chen Tan again, "What's going on? What exactly happened?"
Chen Tan thought of Liang Yujin and finally did not explain, "Thank you, Grandpa. I will give you an explanation. As for what happened today, we can't tell you for the time being."
Seeing that the two of them had the same statement, Xie Junqian guessed that something big had happened.
He did not continue asking, but asked Xie Shuijun to go to the backyard to wash and change clothes.
Chen Tan asked Xie Junqian to check on Goudan. She followed him to the backyard and gave Xie Shuijun a bowl of pure spiritual spring water.
After comforting him with a few words, he returned to the front room.
Xie Junqian handed Goudan a bottle of ointment and said, "Take it home and apply it on it."
"Then I'll send him back and won't come over today." Chen Tan left a dollar and took Goudan back.
