75: Chapter 74 The Small Matter of Passing a Message
75 -74 The Small Matter of Passing a Message
Su Yuncheng frowned upon hearing this.
If it is true that the Educated Youth arbitrarily switched production teams, this matter is indeed troublesome.
He was thinking when Lin Nianhe came up to him, handed back his notebook, and said softly, “We can’t delay; Miao Yulan has a head injury and her injuries are severe.
We need to rush her to the health clinic.”
“Mm.”
One problem after another, and to make matters worse, none of the Team’s officials were around, giving Su Yuncheng a headache.
Just then, a series of urgent footsteps came from outside.
“Who?
Who dares to beat people up in Ten Miles Team?
This is outrageous!”
Aunt Li led a crowd of women who swarmed into the Educated Youth Corps’ gate.
It seems that Wang Xixi told them that it was Miao Yulan’s mother causing trouble, so Aunt Li didn’t bring any men with her.
Lin Nianhe glanced through the crowd, familiar and unfamiliar faces were all present, even Widow Zhao had followed.
Widow Zhao had been very pro-active in various village matters lately, seemingly wanting to quickly clear her family’s bad reputation, to avoid being reported by village folks.
Widow Zhao spat in disdain upon seeing Mrs.
Miao seated on the ground: “You old thing playing with life, coming here to bully the young?
Show some real guts and let’s go head to head!”
Tut-tut, this approach won’t do.
The key to crying, causing a scene, or threatening suicide is to stir up emotions.
But at the Educated Youth Corps—
The men are like wooden blocks, and the women together have ten thousand wits.
Are these tactics useful with them?
Widow Zhao felt Mrs.
Miao was clueless and distasteful.
Mrs.
Miao didn’t expect so many villagers to come.
Her parental family was also in the countryside, where the Educated Youth are despised by everyone; how could there be commune members standing up for the Educated Youth?
She was momentarily stunned before scrambling up from the ground and with hands on hips retorted Widow Zhao: “Which dog kennel left the door open for you, you…”
Seeing Mrs.
Miao talk back, Widow Zhao’s fighting spirit soared instantly!
Wiping her mouth, Widow Zhao who had held back for more than half a month finally let loose a torrent of cursing.
Not only was Widow Zhao cursing back, but the other women too refused to be outdone, singing in chorus, responding back and forth, all sorts of tactics employed, they managed to scold Mrs.
Miao without giving her a chance to retort.
Watching them curse with such gusto, with Second Aunt Li backing them up, Aunt Li quickly approached Lin Nianhe to ask her, “Daxi didn’t explain it clearly to me, what’s the matter?
Is Educated Youth Miao in trouble again?”
That “again” made Lin Nianhe somewhat embarrassed.
She touched her nose, her voice softening: “Aunt Li, Miao Yulan was beaten by her mother, the injury is quite severe, I think we should take her to the health clinic.”
“What?”
Aunt Li’s eyes widened.
In her eyes, Lin Nianhe was once able to save Wang Xixi in a few strokes, like a god-like doctor.
But now this god-doctor says she can’t treat Miao Yulan’s illness.
Aunt Li had already started to ponder which plot of land behind the mountain to bury Miao Yulan in.
“Aunt Li?”
Seeing Aunt Li not moving, Lin Nianhe tugged at her sleeve to remind her, “Her injury is on her back; we need to borrow the team’s ox cart.”
“Ah?
Oh, right, right…”
Aunt Li snapped back to her senses, remembering the person wasn’t dead yet.
She turned around and called out, “Laoer’s family, hurry up, go to the ox shed to find Uncle Guan to harness the cart, to take Educated Youth Miao to the health clinic!”
Second Aunt Li, feeling a sense of duty to support the rear, shoved the person beside her: “Hurry, go call Uncle Guan to harness the cart.”
Those engaged in the cursing were too caught up to turn back, passing the message along: “Go call Uncle Guan…
for what?
It’s not for slaughtering cattle, anyway.”
“Go get Uncle Guan to slaughter the cow!”
“…!”
The cursing was loud and erupted one after the other.
Lin Nianhe and the others couldn’t make out what the words had turned into at the end.
Aunt Li was pulling Lin Nianhe into the house, saying, “Let them curse.
Come with me to check on Educated Youth Miao.”
“Alright.”
Lin Nianhe, led by Aunt Li, felt the thorns on her body slowly soften.
The aunts were indeed fierce, but when standing behind them, it was indeed hard not to feel at ease.
Su Yuncheng watched the suddenly obedient girl, his eyes smiling.
Today’s incident allowed him to see another side of her—a wilful, domineering, lively, and vibrant her.
He couldn’t help but recall how she wielded the kitchen knife just now.
Quite fierce.
After Aunt Li entered the house, she came out within a short while, rushed up to Su Yuncheng in three quick steps, interrupting his reminiscing: “Public Security officer!
I need to report a crime!
This person has beaten a child to death, arrest her!”
Aunt Li’s words hit the courtyard’s quarrel like a pause button; everyone froze instantly, each maintaining their previous action.
After a solid ten seconds, they stiffly turned their heads to look at Aunt Li.
Beaten… beaten to death?
They stared at Aunt Li, yearning for a negating answer.
The first to snap out of it was Mrs.
Miao.
Her expression stiffened, and without arguing about the truth, she grabbed her small bundle and headed for the door without hesitation.
Perhaps running from the kitchen knife had unblocked her Ren and Du meridians, as Mrs.
Miao adeptly dodged every reaching hand and successfully leaped out of the Educated Youth Corps spot.
She then breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest cursing “bad luck” three times, and scurrying with her short legs, she hurried towards the entrance of the village.
“Damn girl always causing trouble, neither dying early nor late, just had to be now… No, I have to go to the commune, it’s fine to beat her at home, why does it come to this after all these years, just one beating and death…”
Muttering as she walked, she pondered whether she could use this incident to demand more dowry money for her older son.
Not to mention anything else, at least the money for sending that girl off should come from this bunch of bumpkins!
The more she thought about it, the more pleased she was, already considering whether to spend the money on a large wardrobe for her older son or a new bed.
Then, she heard the sound of a bicycle.
Looking up, she saw a balding old man pushing a bicycle, and a meter away was a tall, thin woman with short hair…
Back in the Educated Youth Corps spot, Aunt Li stopped the aunts who were about to rush out and catch someone.
She shook her head at them, whispering, “Not dead, not dead, just a bit seriously injured…
Did anyone go to find Uncle Guan to hitch up the cart?
We must hurry to take Educated Youth Miao to the health center!”
After saying this, Aunt Li also felt a bit embarrassed.
She didn’t intend to let the person go this way, but a certain Miss Lin said that beating someone wouldn’t solve the problem; what really mattered was taking the opportunity to get Mrs.
Miao to stop bleeding Miao Yulan dry.
Most crucially, they did not know why Miao Yulan’s transfer from Ten Miles Team to Nine-miles Team.
Before Miao Yulan woke up, they couldn’t afford to let Mrs.
Miao make a big fuss about the matter, or it would be easy to directly convict Miao Yulan.
Aunt Li agreed with Lin Nianhe’s thinking but still felt that a beating would save more trouble.
Lin Nianhe could only gesture to Su Yuncheng outside with a pout: The Public Security is still here, shouldn’t we hold back?
Between choosing to give a beating and holding back, Aunt Li decisively chose the latter.
Not worth it for such an old woman!
Aunt Li felt she had made the right choice and was about to hurry the others to disperse quickly, not to block Uncle Guan’s car, when suddenly two angry shouts came from outside the courtyard—
“So you’re not a thief but Miao Yulan’s mother?
Good, I’ve been waiting for you for some days!”
“Who?
Who wants to slaughter the cow?
If the cow is slaughtered, how will you use your plow?”
