Su Guixiang stepped out from the crowd and pulled Li Xiyue behind her. "Li Zhiqing, step back a bit. This person has no sense of propriety when she throws a tantrum. Don't let her hurt you."
Li Xiyue was grateful, but not afraid at all. If Wang Cuihua really made a move, who knew who would suffer the loss?
Xu Yongshun shoved the man back, saying, "What's all this fuss about? If Li, the educated youth, said he didn't see anyone, then he didn't see anyone. Instead of wasting time on this, you should take some people up the mountain to search!"
Li Xiyue's character is impeccable; as long as she says she didn't do it, he'll believe her.
"Yes, let's go up the mountain to find them first. The mountains are no joke," a villager watching the commotion advised.
"If anything happens to my son, I won't let you off the hook!" Wang Cuihua was really worried about her son's safety, so she made a harsh statement and led her people up the mountain.
Xu Yongshun, a friend of women, called several young and strong men to come up the mountain with him.
"Are you alright?" Su Guixiang asked Li Xiyue after everyone had left.
Li Xiyue shook her head. "Thank you, Aunt Guixiang."
"Don't be afraid." Su Guixiang patted her hand. "The brigade cadres won't let Wang Cuihua do anything reckless."
Her husband, Xu Shouliang, was in charge of the warehouse and was considered a semi-village cadre. If Wang Cuihua wanted to cause trouble for Li Xiyue again, she would have her husband talk to the cadres.
Then she thought about Li Xiyue's status in the village. She didn't need her husband to step forward at all; the officials doted on her.
In other words, those short-sighted people can't see the situation clearly and insist on running into Li Xiyue, who is such a coveted prize. Do they think they'll get away with it?
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "I'm not afraid. The cadres are all reasonable, and I also have such a good person like my aunt to help me."
"You child, no wonder the cadres and Aunt Yu all like you. You know how to behave and speak well." Su Guixiang looked at Li Xiyue and liked her more and more.
Tiger went to Xu Guoqing's house first and told Xu Guoqing what had happened. Once Xu Guoqing knew, it was the same as Uncle Xu Liu knowing.
When Li Xiyue returned to Uncle Xu's house, Uncle Xu comforted her, saying, "If she dares to cause trouble, I, the old man, will be the first to not let her off the hook."
Li Xiyue felt a warmth in her heart. Although she had only been here for a short time, most people were very kind to her.
As for those few individuals who wanted to oppose her, she didn't take them seriously at all.
Xu Yongshun and his men searched the entire area outside the mountain but couldn't find Xu Dazhuang. Seeing that the situation was not good, he returned to the village and told Xu Guoqiang what had happened. Xu Guoqiang went to find Xu Dashan and gathered more young men from the village to search for the man deep in the mountains.
After searching all morning, they finally found Xu Dazhuang, who was on the verge of death, deep in the mountains.
The group of people carried Xu Dazhuang to Uncle Xu's house.
"I heard that when they found him, there was already a wolf with Brother Dazhuang. If it weren't for their numbers, they might not have been able to save him," Xu Guoqing whispered to Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue thought to herself, "Not bad, she's got a lot of luck, she managed to come back alive."
"Oh my son, how did you get so badly injured? Who was the heartless bastard who did this?" Looking at her dying son, Wang Cuihua collapsed onto the bed, weeping uncontrollably.
Xu Youtian, a middle-aged man in his forties, stood to the side, his face also full of anxiety and tension.
Uncle Xu was treating Xu Dazhuang. He had many injuries, but they were all from beatings with sticks. There were also some bite and scratch wounds left by animals.
But these injuries were not fatal, and Xu Dazhuang's half-dead appearance was rather strange.
Uncle Xu felt his pulse and it seemed to be caused by excessive fright leading to myocardial damage.
"Girl, come here." Uncle Xu called out to Li Xiyue outside the crowd.
Li Xiyue walked in, and as soon as Wang Cuihua saw her, she jumped up and cursed, "You little bitch, you've ruined my son like this, you heartless bastard!"
"You're from the Tian family, what nonsense are you spouting?" Uncle Xu shielded Li Xiyue behind him and said sternly, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
He was the most senior member of the village and had served as a barefoot doctor for over a decade. Almost every household had consulted him, and he was deeply respected in the village.
