After Zhao Yan left, he went to doctor Zhou.
Zhao Yan, who was thinking about Bai Chen while walking, didn’t notice a shy ge’er peeking at him by the side of the road.
But even if he found out, Zhao Yan would still walk past as if there’s nothing there.
Rong ge’er is from Ruan Quangen’s family. After Aunt Zhao made an excuse to go home, she dragged Rong ge’er, who was sewing in the house, to face her, telling him to go tell Zhao Yan his feelings. Don’t give him to others cheaply.
Rong ge’er naturally loves Zhao Yan, but he has a weak personality and is not good at expressing himself. Even if he has many beautiful fantasies about Zhao Yan in his heart, he also decided not to say it. In the past, when he ran into Zhao Yan on the road, he never dared to raise his head to look at Zhao Yan in an open and honest way. Only after Zhao Yan had gone far will he secretly raised his head and glanced at Zhao Yan’s back.
He is easily satisfied. Just a simple back view is enough to keep him happy for a long time.
But this time, he heard his mother say that Zhao Yan might have someone he likes.
Rong ge’er was in a trance for a moment. His heart was a little sad because of this news, but at the same time, he was also happy for Zhao Yan, who had found the person he likes. But aunt Zhao doesn’t feel like Rong ge’er, she only knew that her favorite golden son-in-law and her ge’er’s favorite person were gone.
Aunt Zhao never admitted defeat, so she pulled Rong ge’er over, wanting Rong ge’er to work hard for once.
Rong ge’er listened. Following aunt Zhao’s words, he went out the door, but he didn’t listen to aunt Zhao’s words on going to meet Zhao Yan. He just waited silently behind a tree by the roadside, wanting to look at Zhao Yan fully for the last time, and then let this hopeless feeling in his heart completely disappear.
May you be happy and live well in the future.
When Zhao Yan arrived, doctor Zhou was waiting for him in the yard. When Zhao Yan came in, doctor Zhou went to close the open courtyard gate.
“Do you know what kind of people Ruan Agui’s family is?” Doctor Zhou asked worriedly.
Zhao Yan sat down on the wooden bench in the courtyard. He took the teapot on the side and poured a cup of tea and handed it to doctor Zhou.
Doctor Zhou picked up the wooden cup and drank the warm tea in one go.
“I shouldn’t have said this, but since you want to marry Mian ge’er, you have to be mentally prepared. You have little contact with people in the village so you don’t know that family’s virtue. Ruan Agui and his wife are biased at the root. They love money like life and fuss over even minor matters. Their sons and daughters they taught were not much different.” Doctor Zhou sighed. “These years Mian ge’er life is hard. There are often scars on his body. Even if he gets sick, he has to endure it himself. Mian ge’er has already reached the marriage age, he should have marry, but the family disliked that they will get less money when Mian ge’er married so they have kept Mian ge’er until now. They want Mian ge’er to make more money for them and plan to wait until the final age stipulated by the government before letting Mian ge’er marry.”
“It’s all about money anyway, so it’s better to hold the person to work for a few more years, but how could the matter of a ge’er marriage be delayed? The longer this drags on, the worse the marriage partner will be. In addition, that family always takes advantage of their relatives so there are even fewer people who dare to come forward to propose marriage.” Even though Ruan Ayao was beautiful, most of the men in the village did not dare to touch it. They were afraid of being stuck by that family and couldn’t get rid of it.
Well, Ruan Ayao and the others also despised the peasants in the village so they have been thinking about marrying Ruan Ayao to a big family in town. Even if she is only a mistress, she still could get a lot of money.
For that, Ruan Ayao was meticulously cared for. It is only for a good price.
Ruan Ayao pestered Zhao Yan because they saw that Zhao Yan was alone without the support of any elder, so it was easier to control him. As long as Ruan Ayao can marry, then Zhao Yan’s things are all Ruan Ayao’s and their whole family.
The reputation of being the wife is much better than being a mistress.
These are what doctor Zhou accidentally heard during one of his patient visits to the clinic.
However, doctor Zhou did not tell Zhao Yan all, he only vaguely mentioned a few things.
“Mian ge’er is good. It’s good that you plan to marry Mian ge’er home soon. He may be spared from more harm, but be careful, don’t let them lead you by the nose.” Doctor Zhou thought of Ruan Agui’s family and had a headache. He was afraid that Zhao Yan would suffer a loss. Although he never saw Zhao Yan suffer, he still couldn’t help but worry.
Married ge’er are like spilled water, but if Mian ge’er is too soft-hearted and the Ruan family is shameless, they would attach to Zhao Yan and suck his blood.
Doctor Zhou was very worried. Zhao Yan, who heard what doctor Zhou said, was not worried. As long as money can solve it, so will it be.
Besides,
Zhao Yan tapped the table lightly, a gleam flashed in his eyes. He would give them back everything the Ruan family did to his baby.
After coming out of doctor Zhou house, Zhao Yan went up the mountain again. He followed the way they came down from before to the place where Ruan Ergou wanted to plot against Bai Chen.
The green grass is sprinkled with fresh red blood which hasn’t dried up yet. The blood stretched out a bright red trace on the green grass. The broken wooden arrows fell aside.
Ruan Ergou broke the wooden arrow and fled.
Zhao Yan looked away from the broken arrow. He lifted his foot and followed the blood trail.
His pace was slow. His dark eyes are like an unfathomable abyss, dangerous yet peaceful.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yan saw Ruan Ergou in front of him. He had fainted because of excessive blood loss.
Zhao Yan walked over indifferently. He drew out a wooden arrow from his back and pressed it hard on Ruan Ergou.
His acupuncture points were stimulated, Ruan Ergou woke up from the pain.
He opened his eyes and saw Zhao Yan, who looked like a demon. Thinking of his offsprings that had been destroyed, Ruan Ergou was startled and frightened. He wanted to call for help, but he was so scared that he seemed to lose his voice.
Zhao Yan looked at Ruan Ergou at his feet coldly. He raises his foot and steps on Ruan Ergou’s chin, forcing Ruan Ergou’s mouth to open. Then he moved the wooden arrow in his hand. Ruan Ergou’s mouth suddenly bursts out blood, with this blood is a soft red thing.
Ruan Ergou completely lost his voice.
After doing all this, Zhao Yan, who was holding the blood-stained wooden arrow in his hand, turned away.
What Ruan Ergou did to Bai Chen, it wouldn’t matter even if he were to die, but death is too cheap for him. It was not enough to extinguish the anger in Zhao Yan’s heart.
Cutting off Ruan Ergou’s descendants is the most deadly punishment, but Zhao Yan was not at ease. If the afraid Ruan Ergou was rescued back to the village, with support, he will definitely make this matter bigger. Zhao Yan is not afraid, but this involved Bai Chen. He had to think a little more.
Even if Ruan Ergou’s atrocities did not succeed, if these things were to get out, whether it is true or not, Bai Chen will face the pointing of those around him.
Zhao Yan didn’t want Bai Chen to suffer any grievances, so he went up the mountain again to cut off Ruan Ergou’s tongue to avoid future troubles.
Evening.
The Ruan family returned home one after another.
Ruan Ayao, who was knocked out by Bai Chen and rolled outside the door, was discovered immediately.
Li Lianhua, who was furious, slapped Bai Chen’s door open with a slap, waking up the sleeping Bai Chen from his sleep,
Li Lianhua was about to beat Bai Chen with a broom, but Bai Chen, who was woken up, took the bamboo pole placed beside the bed and hit Li Lianhua out.
This time he poked the hornet’s nest. Ruan Agui and the two elder brothers rushed into Bai Chen’s small room. They want to drag Bai Chen out to teach him a lesson, but in just a moment, they are all taken out by Bai Chen bamboo poles.
The one that used to beat and scold now knows how to resist, the family was even more annoyed. They were furious so they took anything at home that could beat people, wanting to go in and teach Bai Chen a lesson. But they were all pushed out of the room by Bai Chen. At the end, they had many wounds on their bodies and still haven’t even touched the corner of Bai Chen’s clothes.
Anxious, they could only stand outside the door and scold Bai Chen. Finally, they said that Bai Chen is not allowed to eat anything. They would wait until Bai Chen is too hungry and has no energy left to clean him up.
Bai Chen just listened indifferently, then he used the bamboo pole to close the door.
Ruan Agui and the others scolded for a while, then closed their mouths angrily and started to get busy with their own work and deal with their injuries.
They firmly believed that after a day of hunger strike, Bai Chen wouldn’t be able to resist.
Inside the room, Bai Chen sat on the bed, looking at the few inconspicuous pebbles on the ground and a tattered hole in the window on the side, showing a sweet smile.
Zhao Yan has been protecting him.
His body is not healthy, it is impossible to deal with this family. He was able to push this family out because Zhao Yan was hiding in the dark throwing pebbles to help him.
Bai Chen scratched the small hole in the window, looking at the empty place outside and whispered: “Zhao Yan.”
There was a crunch from the moving branches.
The smile on Bai Chen’s face was even brighter.
It was Zhao Yan responding to him.
After confirming that Bai Chen is alright, Zhao Yan stayed for a while and left.
The dark night was slowly coming.
‘Grr’
Bai Chen hugged his legs in the dark. He reluctantly took the old quilt and wrapped it around him against the cold night.
This quilt is very thin, it doesn’t help at all, but for Bai Chen, who was wearing thin clothes, this is better than nothing.
Bai Chen touched his stomach, grumbling because he was hungry, while also paying attention to the Ruan family movements outside. He pouted in the dark, aggrieved.
Why haven’t they gone to sleep yet. So annoying.
After a while, it gradually became quiet outside. The snoring sound of several people from the Ruan family passed through the walls that were not soundproof into Bai Chen’s ears. Bai Chen raised his head happily, looking at the door.
At the same time, the old wooden doors creak softly, pushing from the outside. Then, in the dark, a tall black figure came in from outside.
Bai Chen’s eyes sparkled. He joyfully pounced on the tall black figure, into that person’s arms. His hands and feet tightly entangled that person like an octopus.
“Zhao Yan, you came.”
T/N: Ya! Sorry for the wait. Plan don’t keep up with changes lol
