Chapter 16 Asking for leave to go to the county seat

Old man Su's face turned red after hearing what Zhao Youcai said, but fortunately, because his skin was dark, it was not very noticeable.

Old Man Su said with a sullen face: "Captain, today's incident was just a misunderstanding. It really was a misunderstanding."

"It's good to be a misunderstanding, and it's good to be not a misunderstanding. Things like today are not allowed to happen again, otherwise, I won't be so polite today." Zhao Youcai said with narrowed eyes.

Someone started to make a noise, "Uncle Su, if you have the time to bother Su Qing, why don't you first figure out what happened to Su Tao? After what happened yesterday, will Su Tao get married or not? Can we have a chance to drink at the wedding?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Su, give us a definite answer." Others followed suit.

Old Man Su was so angry that his chest hurt. He glared and said, "My Su Tao was harmed by someone. Stop talking nonsense."

As he said that, Old Man Su looked at Su Qing angrily. He always felt that this matter was related to Su Qing, but he had no evidence.

Su Qing saw Old Man Su looking at her, so she said, "Master, I'm going to make it clear to you today. Since I've decided to separate from you, I won't let you bully me anymore. If you come to bully me for no reason next time, I won't back down even if you can't beat me. After these few years, I finally understand that no matter how much I value family affection, it's useless. You don't even consider me a family member."

"Yes, that's how it should be." Aunt Tao nodded after hearing what Su Qing said, "Don't worry, Su Qing, we will all help you and won't let your grandparents bully you anymore."

"Thank you, Auntie Tao." Su Qing was naturally generous in her gratitude to those who sincerely helped her.

"You... hum." Old man Su was choked by Su Qing's words and couldn't say anything. In the end, he just snorted coldly, glared at Su Qing fiercely, and took Su Shengli back to the old house. Su Shengli didn't say a word from beginning to end, but Su Qing saw the malice in Su Shengli's eyes looking at her, and she couldn't ignore the malice in those eyes even if she wanted to.

However, Su Qing was not afraid. If it was an open confrontation, the villagers would naturally help her. However, if the other party dared to play dirty, she would not be polite.

"Alright, alright, go away." Zhao Youcai saw that the villagers were still gathered in front of Su Qing's yard, so he waved his hand and said, "Go away, go do what you need to do."

After everyone else left, Zhao Youcai told Su Qing: "Su Qing, try to stay away from your grandparents in the future. As for the filial piety money written in the separation agreement, just give the whole year's money together when you give New Year gifts during the New Year. When the time comes, you can call me and the village party secretary so that we can be witnesses for you to avoid confusion in the future."

Zhao Youcai had completely lost hope in the character of the Su family.

"Thank you, Captain." Su Qing thanked him hurriedly, "If it weren't for you yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to separate from the people in the old house smoothly."

"Well, let's not talk about the past. Just live your life well. If you have any difficulties, tell the village. The village will definitely help you if they can."

"Yeah." Su Qing nodded, thinking of the hare and mushrooms in the basket behind her, and said, "Captain, I want to take a day off tomorrow to go to the county town. There are still many things missing at home. I want to go to the county town to see if I can buy something."

"Okay, go ahead. Be careful on your way." Zhao Youcai nodded. He also knew that Su Qing had just separated from the family and needed to buy some things.

However, now is the beginning of the busy farming season of autumn harvest, and there are no ox carts in the village to go to the county town. If you want to go to the county town, you can only walk there. Although Lihua Village is not far from the county town, it is still more than ten miles away. If you walk, it will take more than an hour one way.

"Eh."

After seeing Zhao Youcai off, Su Qing hurried into the yard, put away the mushrooms and shepherd's purse in the basket, added some green mist to keep them fresh, and placed the rabbit in a corner of the kitchen before preparing a simple meal for herself.

At this time, in the old Su family, Su Lihui was still crying out in pain, saying that his whole body was in pain.

Tian Aixiang's eyes were red with distress: "Dad, Mom, why don't we ask Uncle Sun to take a look at Lihui? It's not a good thing for him to keep crying out in pain like this."

Sun Laogen is the doctor of Lihua Village, but he is a barefoot doctor. He knows some folk remedies of treating injuries passed down from his ancestors. He can also treat minor colds, using herbs collected from Baihua Mountain. However, he cannot treat serious illnesses, which require going to the county hospital.

However, the villagers of Lihua Village generally like to ask Uncle Sun to treat minor ailments, mainly because it is cheap and does not cost much. Some people even just ask for a handful of vegetables or two or three eggs.

"Shengli, go call your Uncle Sun to come and see Lihui." Old Mrs. Sun felt sorry for her grandson, so she asked Su Shengli to call Sun Laogen.

Su Shengli responded and went out. After a while, he called Sun Laogen over.

Sun Laogen carefully looked at Su Lihui, then frowned and said, "There are no wounds on this child's body. I can't see any problems."

"How could that be?" Tian Aixiang said anxiously, "Uncle Sun, please take a closer look at my Lihui. You see, my Lihui's face has turned pale from the pain."

Sun Laogen shook his head and said, "Anyway, you can't tell from the outside, or there must be something wrong inside the body. If that doesn't work, you can go to the county hospital."

Sun Laogen didn't know how to take a pulse, so he couldn't diagnose whether there was something wrong with Su Lihui's body.

"Oh, I knew it. It must be that damn girl Su Qing who caused internal injuries to my Lihui." Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su said angrily.

Sun Laogen was younger than Old Man Su, so he called Old Lady Su his sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law Su, what you said is wrong. If it was really an internal injury, there would be bruises on the skin. Look at Lihui, there is nothing on his skin. You should take the child to the county hospital to see a doctor, in case there is any disease. Don't delay it."

Sun Laogen had also heard about the incident of the old Su family blocking Su Qing's door before, and he was very displeased with the old Su family's behavior. Now, when he heard Su Laokong throwing the blame on Su Qing without any reason, he became even more displeased.

"Okay, let's take Lihui to the county town tomorrow." Old Man Su was afraid that Old Lady Su would say something that would displease Sun Laogen, so he hurriedly said, "Give Brother Sun two eggs."

Old Mrs. Su's face was a little dark. She couldn't see anything, but she still had to give away two eggs. She was really unwilling to do so.

Sun Laogen naturally saw through it, so he said to Old Man Su, "No, no, I can't help you. You can take the child to the hospital tomorrow. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Su family.

Sun Laogen left, but Su Lihui was still crying out in pain, which made Old Mrs. Su so angry that she started scolding Su Qing in the direction of her room. However, she didn't dare to come back to her house because of this.
