Chapter 138: Chapter 135 I Don’t Want to Be a Cripple [770 votes+]

——————

"Zhenzhen?" Wang Guicai couldn’t care less about how the villagers viewed him; upon hearing his daughter’s heart-wrenchingly tragic scream, he hurriedly let go of the tender little hand he was holding and broke into a run outside—

However, he had only lifted his leg and taken two steps when he bumped straight into Wang Xiuzhen, who was supporting her brother Wang Junxuan as they walked in. He cried out in shock, "Xuan’er, what happened to you? Who hurt you??"

"It’s..." Wang Xiuzhen, who had been supporting her brother all the way here, was so exhausted that she was gasping for breath, too winded to speak fluently.

"Dad, Dad, it hurts so much, please help me!" Wang Junxuan wasn’t faring much better; he practically gritted his teeth to articulate each word.

"Where does it hurt, don’t panic, sit down first—" Wang Guicai took over the support of one of his son’s arms, gently helping him to sit.

After settling his son down, he gratefully thanked the robust peasant who had obviously helped his daughter and supported his son in coming over, "Zhou Lin, thank you for helping my son."

"Uncle Wang, don’t mention it; you should quickly check on Junxuan and see how badly he’s injured." Zhou Lin replied calmly. He had seen Wang Xiuzhen struggling to support her brother on the way, and if it wasn’t for the relationship of being fellow villagers and Wang Guicai being known as a fair and steady man, Zhou Lin wouldn’t have bothered to help.

Having seen Wang Guicai now focusing on treating his son’s wound, Zhou greeted Old Xie with a nod after calling out "Uncle Xie," and then slipped into the back of the crowd.

But he didn’t leave; it was only then that he saw Xie Jingzi lying motionless on the hospital bed, his brow furrowed like a mountain range as he melted into the crowd, thinking to himself: No wonder Uncle Xie looks so upset!

With that little thought in mind, Zhou Lin was even less inclined to leave.

"Dad, brother was beaten by Zhang Shanni!" Wang Xiuzhen, seeing her father examining her brother’s injuries, felt her anger rise due to repeated failed schemes, and glowered venomously at Zhang Shanni—

It was a challenge! Zhang Shanni had been paying close attention to the Wang Family’s movements and caught Wang Xiuzhen’s provocative gaze, returning it without hesitation. Zhang Shanni’s look was not only extremely cold and full of murderous intent, which was quite unlike the pure stubbornness in Wang Xiuzhen’s eyes.

Wang Xiuzhen was not a particularly cunning girl to begin with; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so thoroughly defeated in her dreams! Confronted with Zhang Shanni’s sharp gaze, her fear suddenly escalated, and, given the other’s fierce look and ruthless methods, she quickly switched to playing the role of the distressed Little White Flower.

"What?" Wang Guicai gasped, and then recalling Zhang Shanni’s self-evident look from a moment ago, felt a chill run down his spine—

At the same time, the villagers and cadres who heard this were also murmuring in shock!

Just moments before, Zhang Shanni had rushed in carrying the unconscious Xie Jingzi. Now, on the heels of that, Wang Junxuan was being helped in with a broken leg!

Holy crap, this clearly indicated: There’s an inside story!

The crowd, having just heard Zhang Shanni urgently calling for Xie Tiesheng and gathered around, were now excitedly waiting at the doorway to see how things would unfold.

Outside, there was a bustling commotion.

Those who didn’t understand what had happened were given a detailed account of the event by the villagers who had followed them.

The village cadres, already biased towards Xie Jingzi, heard the whole story and unanimously turned their scrutinizing gaze towards Wang Junxuan and his parents, waiting for them to come up with some plausible explanation.

Xie Tiesheng, while keeping an eye on his daughter’s condition, pricked up his ears to listen to the discussions outside. The more he heard, the angrier he got, and his piercing eyes fiercely glared at Wang Guicai and Wang Junxuan.

At this moment, Wang Junxuan couldn’t be bothered with how others were looking at him— he was so pained that his back was soaked with cold sweat, and he had no idea how Zhang Shanni had kicked him; her light kick, and half an hour later, his muscles were still spasming nonstop, and the bones felt as though they had been fractured!

Ever since Zhang Shan Ni kicked his calf, his cries of agony hadn’t ceased, and now his voice was hoarse from shouting. He weakly whimpered, "Dad, Dad~, please check my foot, it keeps twitching, is my bone broken? It hurts so, so much!"

His words were interrupted and choppy, between them, one could hear his low cries of pain and the sound of him sniffling.

"My son, don’t cry, don’t move, let me see!" Upon seeing his son in so much pain that his face turned pale, Wang Guicai couldn’t care less about Xie Jingzi and Zhang Shan Ni; any other matter could wait until he’d examined his own child.

As for the pile of ’malicious’ stares behind him, especially the glare from Xie Tiesheng, it was something one can’t simply ignore.

But with a father’s urgent heart, even though Wang Guicai was anxious to explain himself, his son’s wellbeing came first.

Seeing that no one paid attention to the little aunt, Zhang Shan Ni pretentiously covered her with the blanket in feigned anger, to avoid anyone catching a glimpse of her figure while she lay down, lest gossip cause her mother-in-law to become angry.

In those days, not many unmarried girls would lie down in front of others, even if sick, it wouldn’t sound right. Not like some rough women who dared say anything, whose actions, even more unrefined, would roll up their clothes to breastfeed in front of men...

When Xie Tiesheng saw his daughter-in-law protect his youngest daughter with such actions, his heart softened, and he instantly realized that his daughter-in-law probably knew there was actually nothing wrong with his youngest daughter.

Now looking at the Wang siblings causing a ruckus, he roughly guessed his daughter-in-law’s calculus.

But just as he was beginning to compose himself, upon hearing the truth of the matter, he wished he could kill Wang Family’s son!

Compared to the perpetrator Wang Junxuan, Xie Tiesheng’s target of rage was directed straight at Wang Guicai.

Without the drug concocted by Wang Guicai himself, how could his daughter be so easily conspired against?

He knew his children well.

His two daughters had been pampered and doted on from childhood but had never been spoiled to the point of not engaging in work or neglecting house chores. Perhaps they weren’t as strong as men, but capturing them by mere trickery wasn’t easy!

Without his father’s drug, how could his youngest daughter be easily tricked by Wang Junxuan?!

"How is it, have you found out what’s wrong with your precious son?" Zhang Shan Ni blocked the path in front of the little aunt’s bed, with her father by her side.

Seeing Wang Guicai palpating with a strange expression, and nearly ten minutes passing by without him uttering a word, she impatiently blurted out her question first.

If he kept palpating, it’d soon be time for lunch; who would want to play along with his act indefinitely?

Wang Guicai hesitated, not surprisingly because unless one saw with their own eyes his son in pain, streams of tears and sweat flowing together, who would have thought that the pulse showed no problems at all!

"..." Upon hearing her, Wang Guicai turned around to meet Zhang Shan Ni’s wolf-like gaze. He startled, quickly fixing his eyes to see and look again, only to find Zhang Shan Ni’s eyes still brimming with moisture – where was the ferocity and malice?

Wang Xiuzhen, after all, was just a village girl not yet in her twenties, who had never ventured out to see the world. Seeing her father remain silent, she never thought to ponder the reason, instead, she shrieked accusingly:

"It’s all because of you, this Broom Star. The moment you touched my brother, his leg broke. You better pay up for my brother’s treatment!"

Upon hearing his sister say his leg was broken, Wang Junxuan, who had dared not touch his calf, was so frightened that he suddenly gripped Wang Guicai’s elbow tightly, frantically pleading in a loud voice, "Dad, Dad, I don’t want to be a cripple!"

Wang Guicai heard this and glared darkly at his brainless daughter who stirred up trouble and at his foolish son! If it were not for all the outsiders around him, he would have liked to slap them both!

But clearly, the situation was no longer within his ’expectations’.
