Chapter 22 Wang Mazi sent Sun Dahua to jail.
Sun Dahua then learned that Liu Xiangdi was not dead, but just had a high fever.

Knowing she wouldn't get anything out of her, she got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and prepared to leave.

"Why take a little girl to the hospital? It's just a waste of money."

Su Jianjun felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

Thinking that Liu Xiangdi's illness could not be delayed any longer, he said to Zhou Yongsheng.

"Shengzi, Xiangdi's illness can't be delayed. Take her to the clinic first."

"it is good."

Worried that they would ask her for money to treat Liu Xiangdi's illness, Sun Dahua stepped forward and tried to pull Zhou Yongsheng away. In her agitation, she accidentally scratched Zhou Yongsheng's face, leaving a long red mark.

This infuriated Zhou Yongsheng's wife, Yang Taohua.

"Sun Dahua, you dare hit my man? I'll tear your face to shreds!"

After saying that, he reached out and started tickling Sun Dahua.

Seeing this, Su Jianjun quickly gave Zhou Yongsheng a wink, signaling him to leave immediately.

After feeding Liu Xiangdi her medicine, Su Nuannuan kept a close eye on her condition and only felt relieved when she found that her breathing had stabilized.

Su Nuannuan was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Yongsheng arrive. She had originally thought that her father would have a long argument with Sun Dahua before asking her to send Liu Xiangdi to the clinic.

"Uncle Yongsheng, are you here to take Xiangdi to the clinic?"

"Hmm. Sigh, Sun Dahua is such a scoundrel. Her own daughter is so sick, and she still refuses to treat her."

Hearing Zhou Yongsheng's complaints, Su Nuannuan finally understood why Sun Dahua was unwilling to take Liu Xiangdi to the hospital. It must have been because her father and the uncles in the village couldn't bear to see her suffer anymore, so they asked Uncle Yongsheng to take her to the hospital first.

Su Nuannuan didn't notice that Liu Xiangdi, who had been keeping her eyes tightly closed, had tears welling up in her eyes and her lips were pursed.

It's said that children in rural areas mature early, and Liu Xiangdi, though only sixteen, regularly does chores like washing clothes, cooking, and working in the fields and mountains. All the good things in the house go to her younger brother, while she and her sisters do the hardest work and eat their leftovers. However, none of this is as heartbreaking as hearing her mother refuse to spend money on her medical treatment.

Seeing that only Uncle Yongsheng was accompanying Liu Xiangdi, a young woman, to the clinic, Su Nuannuan worried about the gossip that might arise. In this era, rumors can truly kill.

"Uncle Yongsheng, let me go with you. I can take care of Sister Xiangdi."

"Okay, Nuannuan is such a good girl."

Zhou Yongsheng used to hear his brother Su Jianjun brag about his little daughter, especially these past few days, constantly talking about how considerate she was to him. Now he finally understood. Thinking about his own tomboyish daughter, he shook his head and realized that comparisons were indeed odious.

While Su Jianjun and Sun Dahua were arguing, Zhou Yongsheng and Su Nuannuan had already taken Liu Xiangdi to the clinic.

The doctor at the clinic was an elderly man with white hair. He first took Liu Xiangdi's temperature and then examined her physical characteristics.

Finally, they prescribed her a dose of medicine.

"She had some seizures, but thankfully she pulled through. However, her injuries are quite serious, and if not treated properly, they could cause a fever. I've prescribed her some medication."

The old doctor was unaware that Su Nuannuan had given Liu Xiangdi fever-reducing medication, assuming that she had simply recovered on her own. He only prescribed a simple internal and external treatment.

Thinking of the marks on Liu Xiangdi's body that looked like she had been whipped, Su Nuannuan felt that the other person must have quite a few as well.

The old doctor studied traditional Chinese medicine, and the herbs in his prescriptions were all Chinese herbal medicines.

"The medicinal herbs mentioned above can be found on the back mountain. Go and look for them. If you can't find them, you'll have to buy them from the pharmacy in the county town."

Su Nuannuan figured the old doctor probably thought Liu Xiangdi's fever had subsided, so he didn't want to waste medical resources on her. After all, the country was still in turmoil at this time, and medical resources were concentrated at the border. In small mountain villages like theirs, minor illnesses and injuries could be treated by digging up some medicinal herbs in the mountains.

Zhou Yongsheng and Su Nuannuan both understood. Therefore, they did not insist that the old doctor prescribe medication for Liu Xiangdi.

She glanced at the prescription and found that the herbs listed were indeed all available in the back mountain, so she felt relieved.

"Nuan Nuan, let's go back."

Because they hadn't bought any medicine, they didn't spend much money. The old doctor, seeing they were villagers from the neighborhood, only charged them 50 cents for the consultation.

The money was given by Su Nuannuan.

Zhou Yongsheng offered to pay, but she refused. Liu Xiangdi was brought to the clinic by her father, so she didn't want to trouble Zhou Yongsheng to pay.

The oxcart swayed and rocked, and Liu Xiangdi drifted off to sleep again.

Su Nuannuan touched her head and found it was slightly hot, so she gave her another dose of fever reducer.

I glanced at my watch in the virtual room and realized it was already 8 p.m.

Through the darkness, the outline of Hongqi Village finally came into view. As the oxcart drew closer, Su Nuannuan noticed two thinly dressed girls standing at the village entrance.

They saw the oxcart and excitedly went to greet it.

"Xiangdi, are you alright?"

The two were Liu Zhaodi and Liu Pandi.

Su Nuannuan recognized them as well. However, the original owner of this body didn't usually like to play with other children her age in the village, so the group wasn't familiar with each other.

"Liu Xiangdi is fine now. This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. All the herbs in it can be found in the back mountain."

After saying that, she handed the prescription in her hand to the two of them.

Liu Zhaodi and Liu Pandi took the prescription, looking somewhat troubled.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the two were looking at the prescription without speaking for a long time, Su Nuannuan asked.

Zhou Yongsheng then spoke.

“Nuan Nuan, Sun Da Hua never sent Zhao Di and the others to school.”

Subconsciously, it was assumed that neither of them could read.

Su Nuannuan was somewhat stunned. If she remembered correctly, Liu Xiaobao had studied and even took this year's college entrance examination.

Compared to the Liu family, who also had so many children, Su's parents were willing to send their three older brothers and themselves to school. Unexpectedly, the Liu family only wanted their sons to study; this went beyond mere patriarchal favoritism. It was blatant exploitation of their three daughters.

Su Nuannuan glanced at the three of them with sympathy. Since they were illiterate, they certainly wouldn't recognize the herbs on the prescription. Looking at the girl who had just come of age in front of her, she felt a pang of sympathy.

"Tomorrow you will come with me to the back mountain. I will teach you to distinguish these herbs."

Liu Zhaodi and Liu Pandi were overjoyed and thanked Su Nuannuan.

They hadn't expected Su Nuannuan to help them. They were extremely grateful to her.

Sun Dahua disliked the Su family and often spoke ill of Su Nuannuan at home. After hearing this repeatedly, the Su family also developed a bad impression of her. However, unexpectedly, when the third sister developed a fever, it was the brigade leader's family who helped take her to the clinic.

They were illiterate, so Su Nuannuan took the initiative to help them identify the herbs.

Liu Zhaodi and Liu Pandi were deeply moved, but also felt somewhat ashamed. They shouldn't have had a problem with Su Nuannuan, whom they had never met, based on Sun Dahua's one-sided account.

After resolving Liu Xiangdi's matter, Su Nuannuan finally went home.

However, Sun Dahua's problem was not resolved.

Sun Dahua refused to admit that she had instructed Liu Xiangdi to steal the sweet potatoes, and even claimed that the village head had colluded with other villagers to bully her.

This infuriated everyone.

Finally, the police came to Sun Dahua's door and took her away.

The arrival of the police completely stunned the people of Hongqi Village.

They disliked Sun Dahua, but they never considered sending her to jail.

Su Jianjun felt completely overwhelmed. How did something that should have been resolved internally end up involving the police? As the head of Hongqi Village, he couldn't let Sun Dahua be taken away like this, so Su Jianjun braced himself and asked.

"Officer, what did Sun Dahua do wrong? Why are you arresting her?"

"Comrade Wang Mazi from your village reported to the police that a woman named Sun Dahua in the village is stealing public grain and abusing children."

Su Jianjun gave a stiff smile.

After glancing at Sun Dahua's terrified face, he knew he couldn't stop her any longer.

Seeing that she was about to be taken away by the police, Sun Dahua panicked and stopped throwing a tantrum. She then begged Su Jianjun for help.

"Captain, please help me! I didn't steal the sweet potatoes, it was Liu Xiangdi who stole them. Arrest her instead."

Sun Dahua's words were truly infuriating. Su Jianjun was so angry that he ignored Sun Dahua.

Wang Mazi chuckled when he saw Sun Dahua being taken away by the police.

He was no longer the only one arrested by the police in Hongqi Village.
