Chapter 61 Going Crazy
The He family, which has always been in trouble, has had trouble again in the past two days. This time it was a major incident that shocked the entire village. Not only did it alarm the village chief, it also alerted the town's constables!
Their eldest daughter-in-law, Liu, fainted due to illness a few days ago. They asked Doctor Li to take her pulse, and it turned out that she was more than two months pregnant. From the calculation of the date, it was obvious who the child was.
If that were all, we could just have some fun chatting about it and laugh at their jokes, and it would be over. It wasn't a big deal after all.
But the matter did not end there. Perhaps it was because of the news that Liu was pregnant with He Gui's child, Zheng suddenly went crazy and chopped both of them with a kitchen knife!
Liu was stabbed on the neck and died instantly. He Gui was luckier as he was only stabbed on the thigh and bled a lot, but fortunately he survived.
When the village chief received the news and rushed over, he was frightened by the room full of bright red blood and his face turned pale. When had ordinary people like them ever seen such a bloody scene!
With the help of the neighbors, Zheng had been tied to the side and her mouth was stuffed. Her eyes were still bloodshot as she stared at He Gui, who was supported by Qian in her arms. She wished she could rush up and chop him twice!
He Tian sat on the ground with a dull look in his eyes, as if he was frightened silly, with blood on his clothes. In front of him lay the lifeless Liu. He must have wanted to cover her wound just now, but failed to stop her.
The two kids who were crying loudly out of fear were temporarily taken back by the aunt next door. No matter what, they couldn't let such young children stay in such a place.
The village chief grabbed his equally stunned son with trembling hands and told him to quickly go to Qi Yue's house to borrow a horse and report the matter to the authorities in town as quickly as possible!
Feng Zheng was brought back to his senses by his pull. He nodded hurriedly and staggered out the door. He was so dazed that he almost bumped into the door frame. No matter how steady he was at ordinary times, anyone would be confused at this moment.
He was anxious and the weather was hot, so when he arrived at Qi Yue's house, sweat was pouring down his face and his clothes were soaked through. He told them everything while wiping the sweat off his sleeve.
It was impossible to say that He Ling felt no emotion at all after hearing such news. His legs went limp and he was supported by Xu Hua beside him. He couldn't tell what his mood was at the moment.
Qi Yue raised his eyebrows, thinking that the He family was not at peace. He hadn't even started anything yet, but they had already caused so much trouble. They were really a weird family.
Mu Yan would not let outsiders ride his horse. Zheng Yuefeng happened to be there today, so he offered his horse. However, Feng Zheng did not know how to ride a horse, so he had to send Kang Yuan to the town to report to the authorities.
"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Zheng!" Feng Zheng bowed to him. Horses are such precious things, and country folk like them rarely see them, so how could they ride one? He came here to borrow a horse without thinking carefully, and luckily the other party helped him.
"No, I'm Hua Ge'er's fiancé, and I'm half a member of Gushui Village. I should help if there is any problem in the village!" Zheng Yuefeng smiled and waved his fan, looking very graceful.
Feng Zheng liked to hear what he said very much. It was such a compliment that a young master put himself on the same level as them, a country boy. But when he thought of the He family's affairs, he was no longer happy. "The He family has been embarrassing themselves with what they have done recently, and the whole village is embarrassed as well."
At this point, he looked up at He Ling who was supported by Xu Hua, and said, "Brother Ling, don't be sad. No one expected such an accident to happen."
He Ling heard his words and nodded lightly, and said, "I'm fine, it's just that things happened a little suddenly. I'm a little surprised!"
"Okay, I'm glad you don't think too much about it. Then I won't stay here any longer. Dad is still in the He family!" The things that needed to be done had been done, and Feng Zheng still planned to go back to accompany his father. At such an old age, he must have been panicked when he saw that kind of scene.
"I'll go with Brother Feng and see if there's anything I can do to help!" Qi Yue stopped him and turned to look at Zheng Yuefeng, "Master Zheng, do you want to come with us?"
Looking at his eyes, Zheng Yuefeng knew that he was there to watch a good show. After thinking about it, he decided to go and watch the fun. He nodded and said, "Then let's go together."
Feng Zheng remembered that Qi Yue was a doctor, and He Gui was still injured, so it was a good opportunity for him to take a look. As for the other person..."Master Zheng, that scene was a bit bloody..."
"No problem, I'm not afraid of that!" In a town, there are naturally more homicides than in a village. Zheng Yuefeng has seen it several times and can still bear it.
Seeing that he said it was okay, Feng Zheng didn't stop them. After they told the others to rest at home, he hurried away with the two people.
"Why do these two kids always have to get involved in everything?" Father Xu was old after all, and he felt that places where people had died were unlucky, so he felt uneasy when he saw them passing by.
He Ling's emotions had calmed down a little and he didn't have too many feelings. He sighed lightly, patted Xu Hua's hand that was supporting him, and said to Xu's father: "Let them go. The sun is strong now. Don't stand here. Go back to the house."
The sun was scorching at noon, and they stood there for a while and broke out in sweat. He Ling closed the door, and Xu Hua and he supported him back to the main room.
When the three people arrived at the He family, there were already a lot of people gathered at the door, all of them looking inside, as if they wanted to go in but were afraid to.
"Alright, alright, it's the middle of the day and you all don't mind the sun. Go back!" Feng Zheng walked over and waved his hand to ask them to leave. They were so bored that they dared not join in any fun.
Everyone dispersed, but didn't go far, obviously wanting to wait until he went in before gathering around him. Feng Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to them and led the two of them in.
Qian was still supporting the pale-faced He Gui as he sat on the ground, her hands tightly covering his bleeding wound. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she no longer looked as mean and arrogant as before.
Liu's body had been covered with a straw mat that had been brought from somewhere. The village chief and He Tian were sitting on stools. The former had a look of helplessness on his face, while the latter seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
"Dad, Master Zheng has sent his servant to the town and he will be back soon!" Feng Zheng walked to the village chief and told him the situation.
The village chief nodded. It was his fault for not thinking it through. He forgot that his son could not ride a horse. He just wanted him to borrow a fast one, "and let Mr. Zheng's people follow him."
"You're welcome, village chief!" Zheng Yuefeng didn't mind at all. Kang Yuan had gained weight after following him to Gushui Village recently, so it would be good for him to run more and exercise.
"Qi Yue! Qi boy, come and take a look at my son's legs, please help him!" Qian's expression suddenly brightened and she looked at him as if he were a savior.
When the village chief heard her voice, he turned around, looked at the person standing next to him, sighed, and said, "Just let me take a look, Qi boy!"
After all, they are from the same village, they can't just leave him like this, if his wound continues to bleed, he might die too.
Qi Yue walked over without saying anything. He asked Qian to take her hand away, tore open the cloth near He Gui's wound, exposed the knife wound and examined it carefully.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he had read the book over and over again without saying anything, Qian became a little anxious.
"His life is not in danger..." Qi Yue finished speaking, shook his head and sighed, "but this knife injured his tendons, and his leg might be crippled!"
"What?! This is impossible!" Qian obviously could not accept such a result, "Qi Yue, don't talk nonsense just because our two families don't get along!"
Qi Yue stood up with a sneer, "I only gave him a checkup for the sake of the village chief. If you don't believe it, you can find someone else to treat him!"
Qian bit her lip, pulled her son, who was already a little unconscious, into her arms, and said, "Can you help him stop the bleeding first?"
Qi Yue looked at her actions indifferently. If she could treat his little husband with such love, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
He took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve, squatted down again, and said to her, "This medicine will be a little painful when sprinkled on, you have to hold me tight and don't let me roll around."
Upon hearing this, Qian tightened her grip again, lowered her head and whispered to He Gui, whose eyes were dazed, "Agui, don't be afraid, mother is here!"
Qi Yue pulled out the cork from the bottle, tilted the bottle, shook it at the wound on his leg, and sprinkled some brownish medicine powder on it.
"Ah!!"
He Gui suddenly let out a scream. His originally soft and weak body suddenly tensed up. He struggled uncontrollably and was about to curl up. Qian was almost knocked down by him.
Seeing that she seemed unable to control herself, the village chief asked his son to go over and help, to prevent him from struggling and rolling around and bumping into things, which would already be a mess!
Qi Yue stood up and took a few steps back, stuffed the medicine bottle back into his sleeve, and leisurely stroked the hem of his clothes which was covered in dust from squatting.
His medicine was really effective. When the pain in He Gui's legs disappeared and he gradually calmed down, his wound stopped bleeding and even his complexion looked better.
"Agui, Agui, I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!" The tears in Qian's eyes welled up again, and she hugged him tightly in her arms.
Feng Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave Qi Yue a thumbs up, "Brother Qi's medicine is really effective. The bleeding stopped in a short while!"
Zheng Yuefeng came to his side and asked curiously, "Is his leg really broken?"
"It was not certain whether it was broken before, but now..." Qi Yue turned his head to look at him, curled his lips and smiled, "It must be broken."
Chapter 62 Moving
Zheng Yuefeng shuddered violently, took two steps to the side, and once again felt lucky in his heart that when he first met He Ling, he just walked up to him and said a few words, and did not do anything excessive, otherwise he would not be so intact now!
He suddenly missed his Hua Ge'er very much and wanted to go back and hug him tightly. He could hardly bear to stay with such a terrible person.
"You vicious woman! Why did you harm my son like this?!" Thinking that her son would become a cripple in the future, Qian wanted to chop Zheng with a knife.
Zheng, who was tied up and placed in a corner, met her eyes. Although his mouth was blocked, a muffled laugh came from his throat, and his whole body began to tremble. His eyes were full of madness, and he looked so crazy that it was a little scary.
Seeing her like this, Qian was frightened by the memory of the time when she stabbed people with a knife. She turned her face away and didn't look at her. She hugged her son and cried sadly.
It was already afternoon when Kang Yuan and the detectives came back. When they heard about this, they were shocked. How could such a thing happen in such a small village? !
Zheng's crime was already confirmed. Two people, one dead and one injured, were definitely to be taken away. They untied the ropes for her and replaced them with shackles, then took the cloth out of her mouth and asked her to say a few final words.
"You will not die a good death, all of you will not die a good death! Hahahaha..." Zheng smiled hideously at the He family like a devil crawling out of hell.
Seeing that she was obviously mentally unstable, the constable stuffed her mouth again and dragged her out of the house. Her bloodshot eyes stared at each of them until they disappeared out the door.
He Tian fell back on the stool and closed his eyes in despair. He didn't know what sin his family had committed to bring about one disaster after another. One of his two sons became crazy and the other became disabled. One of his two daughters-in-law died, and the other would probably spend the rest of her life in jail!
The only brother finally married into a wealthy family, but he turned out to be the culprit of this tragedy. He can't be relied upon at all! Now there are so many people in this family, old and young, how are they going to live in the future?
The village chief walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, not knowing what to say. If he wanted to express sympathy, he thought that the He family had brought this situation upon themselves. If he said that they deserved it, that was not the case. In the end, he just said "take care of yourself" and left with his son Feng Zheng.
The village chief had left, so Qi Yue and the other man naturally wouldn't stay any longer. He took one last look at the miserable condition of the few people and left their house in a very happy mood.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the legendary "you reap what you sow"! " Zheng Yuefeng walked beside him, fan in hand, and said nonchalantly, "I've seen it today!"
"Then I hope Mr. Zheng will take it as a warning." Qi Yue looked ahead and raised the corners of his lips, "Don't be as foolish as these people."
Zheng Yuefeng's fan fell to the ground with a "click". He bent down awkwardly to pick it up, and smiled apologetically, "How could that be? I know when to advance and when to retreat, and I know etiquette. I never offend people who shouldn't be offended like them!"
Qi Yue tilted his head and raised an eyebrow at him, praising, "Mr. Zheng is so aware, he is really a smart man. My little husband has been talking about wanting to eat glutinous rice balls in town recently. Don't forget to bring it tomorrow."
"Of course, of course. It's just glutinous rice balls, a small matter!" Zheng Yuefeng agreed readily, but he was slamming the fan in his heart. Asking him, a young master of the Zheng family, to buy glutinous rice balls, did he think he was an errand boy!
Just as he finished complaining, he looked up and met Qi Yue's half-smile eyes. He quickly put on a flattering smile and silently picked up the fallen fan. Just buy it. Anyway, his son Hua also likes to eat it. He can buy more and buy up the whole stall. Humph!
The weather in the summer was extremely hot, and Liu's body could not be kept for long. In a few days, the whole house would be filled with the stench of corpses. The He family did not even prepare a coffin for her. They simply wrapped her in a straw mat and buried her. At least they gave her a grave.
When He Zhen from Shangzhuang Village received the letter they asked someone to send, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud with his shoulders shaking. He really didn't expect that the seed he planted would bear such a fruit!
He laughed for a long time until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. He wiped them with a handkerchief, turned his head and told the maid to send some money back, asking people not to say that he, a married man, was cold-hearted.
When Qian received the money he sent, she threw it to the ground and said, "Does he think of this as sending away a beggar?!"
His sister-in-law died and his brother became disabled, but they didn't even come back to see him. No matter how much resentment he had in his heart, it should have gone away by now, right? Regardless of how much money he needs, at least he can help find a good doctor to see if his brother's leg can be saved!
He Gui, leaning on a crutch, bent down with great effort to pick up the money and stuffed it back into her hand, "After all, it's money, don't waste it, just keep it!"
Seeing him like that, Qian couldn't help but burst into tears again, and hugged him while crying, "My poor Agui, you will have to rely on this crutch to live for the rest of your life, what can you do?"
He Gui's entire left leg had no feeling, and he was very unwilling in his heart, but what could he do, it was a fact that could not be changed. He always thought he was smart, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of a guy!
"Grandma, where is mommy?" The three-year-old kid was still confused and knew nothing. She sucked her fingers and grabbed the corner of Qian's clothes, asking where her mother was whom she hadn't seen for several days.
"Don't mention your mother. She will never come back, never come back!" Qian was feeling sad and didn't want to mention this matter at all.
The child was frightened by her loud yell and started crying loudly, shouting for his mother.
"Why are you so mean to a child?!" He Tian, who had become increasingly silent in recent days, saw his precious grandson crying out of fear. He glared at her and then hugged the child in his arms to comfort him.
Given the current situation in their family, it is unknown whether He Gui will be able to remarry in the future. This may be his only grandson, but he must be cherished.
After Qian finished yelling, she felt a little regretful and cried even harder while wiping her tears.
"Mom, I'm tired. I want to go back and rest." He Gui felt even more annoyed by her crying, and he walked back to his room step by step, leaning on his crutches.
The adults were crying, the children were crying too, and the neighbors living nearby were also having a headache. They felt that the He family had attracted a jinx, and misfortunes kept coming one after another, making their lives uneasy!
Now people in the village go around their house when they pass by, for fear of being contaminated by bad luck. If they do that, they won't even have a place to cry!
Qi Yue and the others didn't care at all about the He family. They were now busy helping the Xu family father and son move things. The new house had already been built.
Because it would be only Xu's father who would live here in the future, the house was not built too big, as it would seem too empty and would certainly make the person feel even more lonely.
That is to say, two more houses were added, the front yard was expanded a bit, and a back yard was added. The walls were built high with blue bricks, just like Qi Yue's house, so that people could not see what was going on inside at all.
In order to make it more convenient for Xu's father to use water, Zheng Yuefeng specially hired a well digger to dig a well in the backyard. From then on, the family could draw water directly from here.
In addition to the new house, he also ordered a new set of furniture. All the old furniture was
