Liu Shitou was watching from not far away. When he saw Liu Dawang being beaten, he immediately went back to report, "Mother, Ruxue, Uncle Dawang and Ruyun were beaten by Uncle Liu and the village chief with their men."

"What?! They actually dared to hit people? What should we do? Go find your dad right away."

Oh, right, go to Doctor Wu's house to get some medicine for your wounds.

When the sisters heard that their father and eldest sister had been beaten, they felt as if the sky had fallen, and they were filled with deep despair. "April, April, why aren't you back yet!"

......

Liu Dawang and his daughter were not released all night and were locked in the ancestral hall, freezing all night. The next day, when they opened the door of the ancestral hall, the village chief was shocked. The two were lying motionless on the ground. He called out twice but there was no response. He checked their breathing and found they were still alive, with hot breaths. He touched their foreheads and found them to be frighteningly hot. He quickly ordered people to carry them home and also to fetch Doctor Wu.

The village chief panicked. He had forgotten to bring them a quilt yesterday. What if someone died? He told someone to hurry home and find his wife.

Wang Cuilan was unaware that Liu Dawang and his friends had been beaten. She was busy at home when someone rushed in, shouting, "Auntie, something terrible has happened! Liu Dawang and his daughter are going to die!"

"What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly!"

The visitor recounted how Liu Dawang had been beaten the previous night and how it wasn't discovered until this morning. Wang Cuilan was so shocked she almost fainted. "Auntie, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Eldest daughter-in-law, come with me quickly, something terrible has happened."

Liu Dawang was not released all night. Ru Xue and Ru Yu couldn't wait any longer, so Ru Yu and Liu Youtian secretly went to town. Not long after they left, Liu Dawang and Liu Ruyun were brought back.

A little while later, Dr. Wu arrived and quickly began to treat them. The two had caught a cold and were now running a high fever. They had been delayed for too long, so we had to send them to town immediately. I couldn't treat them here; they were already delirious from the fever.

The village chief panicked and rushed back to get the oxcart. On the way, he met his wife and said, "You guys hurry up and go. I'll go back and get the oxcart. Dawang and the others need to be taken to town as soon as possible."

The village chief brought the oxcart, lifted the two people onto it, and headed towards town. On the way, they encountered Liu Youtian and Ruyu. "Youtian, where are you going?"

"We're going to town to buy some things. What are you doing here?"

"Hurry up and come to the clinic, Da Wang and the others are sick."

"What? Da Wang is sick."

"Ruyu, your father's illness is serious."

......

After Liu Siyue finished breakfast, Qingwu harnessed the oxcart. The oxcart pulling a horse-drawn carriage looked ridiculous, but her master liked it.

Thick straw was laid in the carriage, the sheep's four hooves were tied and secured inside, and all the necessary items were loaded onto the carriage. Everything was ready. "Madam, everything is ready. We can depart now."

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart, with Qingwu riding her horse beside her. The two of them leisurely made their way to Liujia Village. When they reached the village entrance, the oxcart stopped. "Qingwu, you can drop me off here. My home is at the end of the village. Just walk along the village road, and the house with the big blue brick and tile roof is my home."

"Understood, Madam. Please take care."

Qingwu watched her enter the village, then rode back to the city herself.

Liu Siyue put the items from her spatial storage into the carriage one by one, still thinking about how to tell her mother when she saw her later that the baby had been weaned and needed to drink goat's milk.

She sat on the carriage shaft, holding the child in her arms, and said, "Bull Demon King, slow down. Just follow the village road and you'll be home."

"Yao'er, we're going home now to see Grandma and Grandpa, and your aunts. Aren't you happy? Were you bored out of your mind? They must have missed us terribly since we've been gone for so long."

"The baby was blowing bubbles in their arms, with its two little hands intertwined. It was such a cute little pink dumpling. Perhaps it was the blessing of the spiritual spring water, but the baby was very strong and didn't look premature at all."

As soon as she entered the village, she noticed the strange atmosphere. The people were looking at her with pity. What was going on? An auntie stepped forward and said, "April, you're finally back! Something happened to your second uncle's family. You should come home quickly!"

"Auntie, what happened to Uncle's family?"

"It's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two. You'll understand when you go back and see for yourself."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Bull Demon King, hurry! Something's happened at home!"

The oxcart moved quickly. Liu Siyue held her child in one arm and gripped the cart frame tightly with the other. When the villagers saw the big blue ox and the beautiful carriage, they couldn't help but follow to watch the excitement.

When she arrived home, there were only a few workers on the construction site. She called out from the doorway, "Mom, I'm home."

Hearing Liu Siyue's voice, Liu Ruxue knew Siyue had returned. She immediately ran out, hugged Liu Siyue tightly, and cried uncontrollably, "Siyue, why did you take so long to come back? Why did you take so long to come back!"

"Alright, alright, I'm back now, stop crying. Where's Mom?"

I just got back and the aunties in the village said something happened at their house. What happened? Where are the construction workers?

"Aunt Ye, my house isn't finished yet. Could I leave this oxcart at your place for now?"

"Okay, this bull is a bit scary, I'm afraid I can't control it."

"Auntie, don't be afraid. The Bull Demon King is very well-behaved. I will talk to him."

Bull Demon King, as you can see, the house isn't finished yet, so there's nowhere for you to live. You'll go home with Aunt Ye later and stay at her house for a few days. Be obedient and don't hurt anyone.

"Auntie, I've already said it's a good dog. Everyone, please help carry the things inside."

When Liu Siyue entered the room, she saw Madam Feng lying quietly on the bed. The two children immediately rushed over, "Cousin, Mother was beaten by bad people and can't wake up."

She went over and grabbed Feng's hand, "Mother, April is back, look at me!" Her cries of "Mother" were heartbreaking, and the others wiped away their tears as well.

"Ru Xue, what exactly happened? Who hit Mother? Where are Second Uncle and Eldest Sister?"

Ru Xue then recounted what had happened in the village after she left. Liu Siyue gritted her teeth in anger, "Fine, fine, village chief, all that respect I had for you, and this is how you treat my second uncle's family."

"Don't worry, I will make them pay for their crimes in blood. I'm going to town first to check on my second uncle and eldest sister; their conditions are urgent."

Everyone was startled by Liu Siyue's frightening expression and nodded repeatedly. "Ruxue, Yao'er is in your care. This sheep is her food. Take a bowl, squeeze out the sheep's milk, filter it, boil it in a pot, let it cool, and then it's ready for her to drink. Here are the tools. Once the milk is ready, pour it into this milk bottle, and Yao'er will drink it herself."

"Aunt Ye, I'll have to trouble you to look around the house."

As Liu Siyue came out of the house, she saw Master Chang standing at the door with several other craftsmen. "Master, what should we do?"

"Master Chang, please help me find some people from outside to come back and work so that the house can be built as soon as possible. I'm counting on you. We don't need the villagers."

"Okay, I'll go find someone right away."

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart at breakneck speed out of the village. The villagers were startled to see the big blue ox running wildly, thinking it had gone mad, and they all quickly hid for fear of being hurt.

Liu Siyue went straight to Huichuntang, the largest clinic in town. She also saw the village chief's oxcart. She got off the cart and ran inside immediately, calling out, "Second Uncle, Eldest Sister."

Upon hearing Liu Siyue's voice, Ruyu threw herself into her arms, feeling wronged, "Cousin~"

"Don't cry, I know everything."

The village chief's wife quickly stepped forward, "April, you've arrived!"

"Okay, you and the village chief can go back. We don't need you here."

"In April, I'll stay and help you take care of it."

"Need not!"

"Girl!"

Enough!

I don't want to hear any of your explanations. Get out of here, I don't want to see you!

"Village chief, remember this: I will spare no one who has harmed my family!"
