After crying her fill, Jiang Yue'er wiped away her tears and glared at Wen Li, saying through gritted teeth, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Wen Li's lips curled up slightly, her smile innocent: "Comrade Jiang, what are you saying?"

Looking at Wen Li's smiling face, Jiang Yue'er wished she could pounce on her and tear that face, which she had hated for two lifetimes, to shreds.

Every time she saw Wen Lixiao, she was reminded of the humiliation she had suffered.

"Wen Li, you just wait!"

Having uttered those harsh words, Jiang Yue'er had calmed down and turned back into the house to take care of Jiang Chen.

After finally finishing treating Jiang Chen's wounds, Old Wu rubbed his slightly sore wrists.

"If the fever hasn't subsided by tomorrow, it's best to take him to the hospital for an IV drip of anti-inflammatory medication. Some areas might need stitches to help him heal faster!"

Old Wu was just a barefoot doctor; he didn't know how to suture wounds. He simply cleaned Jiang Chen's wounds, disinfected them, and applied some medicine. That was all he could do.

Knowing that Jiang Chen wouldn't die, everyone went home to rest.

By the time this happened, it was almost 10 o'clock.

Wen Li and the others from the educated youth compound also left. Xie Chang'an had to pass through the educated youth compound on his way back to the cowshed.

"They didn't notice the injury on Jiang Chen's head!"

Perhaps they didn't notice, but they just didn't care. After all, a big bump on the head isn't a big problem for country folk, so they didn't tell Old Man Wu.

It's so dark, it's normal that Old Wu didn't notice.

The two exchanged a glance and chose to remain silent.

The worse Jiang Chen's situation is, the better. Since no one else has said anything, they won't either.

The night passed, and Jiang Chen's high fever persisted. Early the next morning, the village chief arranged for an oxcart to take him to the commune hospital.

Jiang Yue'er left the three children with Liu Guixiang and then left with the oxcart.

When the village chief saw Liu Guixiang bring the three children home, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

He wanted to harden his heart and abandon the three children, but when he saw how thin and small they were, he softened.

"Forget it, once Jiang Chen is better, I absolutely can't get involved in their affairs again," the village chief could only console himself with this thought.

Liu Guixiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the village chief didn't say anything.

The three children are already three months old, but they are still very thin. You can tell from their facial features that they all look like Jiang Chen, but they are too small and thin. The three-month-old babies look even weaker than some newborns.

It was all thanks to Jiang Yue'er's hard work and God's blessing that she was able to raise her to this state.

Educated Youth Home

After getting up, Wen Li immediately inquired about Jiang Chen's whereabouts.

As expected, Jiang Chen was sent to the commune.

Niu Zhaodi looked at Wen Li with a gossipy expression. "Wen, I heard that Jiang was abused. What exactly happened?"

"What are the villagers saying?"

"Sigh! What else can we say? Just say that Jiang, the educated youth, was sold to a fat woman weighing two hundred pounds, and that fat woman even tried to beat him up!"

At this point, Niu Zhaodi glanced around furtively, and seeing that no one was around, she whispered, "I heard that Jiang Zhiqing's manhood was ruined!"

"Pfft~ Cough cough cough~" Wen Li spat out a mouthful of water. "Cough cough~ Is that what they're saying in the village?"

"Yes!" Niu Zhaodi said, blushing slightly.

"I don't know either, but I was definitely tortured badly; my body was covered in teeth marks and whip marks!"

"Hiss~" Niu Zhaodi gasped, "Jiang Zhiqing is too pitiful!"

At this point, Niu Zhaodi realized that Jiang Chen's sale to the mountains was related to Wen Li.

She subconsciously shrank her neck, once again thankful that she hadn't offended Wen Li to death, otherwise she might have been the one in such a miserable situation!

Her eyes darted around before she said indignantly, "Haha, Jiang Zhiqing deserved it, she doesn't deserve any sympathy!"

Wen Li saw through Niu Zhaodi's little scheme at a glance, but didn't expose her. Instead, she gave her two fruit candies.

"Tell me some gossip about the village next time, it'll give me a laugh!"

"Oh, you're too kind!" Niu Zhaodi said politely, but her hands didn't hesitate at all as she immediately stuffed the fruit candies into her pocket.

After sending Niu Zhaodi away, Wen Li went back to her room and ate two steamed buns to fill her stomach.

In the afternoon, Su Hao and Deng Wei rushed back.

"Wen, the educated youth, something's happened!"

Wen Li opened the door and went out. "What's up?"

Su Hao immediately shouted, "Jiang Chen has become an idiot!"

Wen Li thought of the look in Jiang Chen's eyes when he looked at people yesterday afternoon. She had guessed something at the time, but she didn't expect to be so foolish!

"Sure?"

Su Hao nodded repeatedly, "It's true. We went to the commune to buy things, and since we had nothing else to do, we went to the clinic to check on him. When he woke up, he just sat there blankly, shouting and yelling, and he even wet his pants!"

"The doctor doesn't know what happened either; the person has already been sent to the county hospital!"

The doctors at the commune health center were good at treating simple colds and fevers, but of course they couldn't cure this kind of illness.

Deng Wei: "Sun Laosan just said that he saw Jiang Chen bump his head yesterday with a big bump, but he didn't pay attention at the time. He wondered if he had hit his head!"

Wen Li: "Maybe he really really did get hit and become mentally impaired!"

Su Hao found it unbelievable. He had bumped his head when he was a child, and he was fine.

"No, he got stunned from just a light bump?"

Deng Wei: "It's also possible that the fever made them stupid!"

Knowing that Jiang Chen had indeed lost his mind, Wen Li laughed heartily.

She guessed that Jiang Chen, the male lead, was probably being punished because he had cheated on her time and time again and had become impure in body and mind.

What's next?

Change the male lead? And then the supporting male character takes his place?

These are all Wen Li's guesses; we'll have to wait for Jiang Chen to return before discussing anything else.

Jiang Chen returned on the third day.

As soon as Niu Zhaodi saw Jiang Chen return, she immediately went back to the educated youth compound to inform Wen Li.

Wen Li put down her medical book and ran outside.

Before they even arrived, Wen Li heard Jiang Yue'er's voice breaking down and Jiang Chen's crying.

"Waaah, don't pull me! I want to go home! This isn't my home! I want my mom and dad!"

Jiang Yue'er snapped impatiently, "Stop howling! This is your home!"

"Get lost! You're a bad person! I want my mom!" Jiang Chen picked up a rock and threw it at Jiang Yue'er.

Although Jiang Chen's mind is only that of a few years old, his strength is that of an adult.

His throw hit Jiang Yue'er's shoulder directly, and Jiang Yue'er clutched her shoulder, hissing in pain.

Jiang Laosan called to several men, who together pinned Jiang Chen down.

Jiang Chen was pinned to the ground, and he cried even harder.

Village chief: "Tie him up first, to prevent him from hurting anyone!"

Several men quickly tied him up, and Jiang Chen couldn't move, so he could only howl.

The noise of an adult howling is not as pleasant as that of a child; Wen Li felt her ears were throbbing with pain.

Perhaps the commotion was too loud, which frightened the three children inside the house, and they started to cry.

The constant wailing and crying made Jiang Yue'er even more distraught, and the scene became increasingly chaotic.
