However, things did not go as Su Xinyu had expected. The men in the village all self-consciously kept their mouths shut, not uttering a word that Su Xinyu had scolded them with. After all, that would be really embarrassing. Seeing Zhou Ling commit suicide in front of them, wasn't that the same as men who couldn't even protect their own sisters?

Although there were people of all kinds in the village, they were willing to risk their lives fighting the people of the Li family village for the honor of the village. Their natures were not too bad. Moreover, in the end, it was still that little girl Su Xinyu who went down to save people. This bunch of old men could only stand on the shore.

These men were all male chauvinists, but they weren't unreasonable. Those words weren't nice to hear, but they weren't willing to admit that they were those kind of people. Therefore, the men in the village only wanted to stay with the Li family villagers. If they didn't get an explanation for this matter, even if they risked their lives, they wouldn't be able to let it go. Otherwise, how were they going to marry the girls from Two-boundary Village? Seeing how useless the men from the outer village were with their Two-boundary Village, how could any women be willing to marry into them?

Once they thought of their own benefits, everyone would put in more effort.

Of course, another reason was that Su Xinyu had been severely ill since that day. At first, Su Xinyu didn't think anything was wrong either. The quality of her body was not ordinary. With the nourishment of the Spirit Spring, other than being unable to change due to age, physical strength and strength, there was absolutely nothing that could be changed about the degree of one's health. Thus, the day before, she drank a bowl of Spirit Spring before going to bed and thought that nothing would happen. As a result, when she woke up the next morning, she found step grandfather sitting beside his bed, frowning and sighing.

It was also at this time that Su Xinyu realized that she was dizzy and her eyes were blurred. She did not have any strength left in her body to not say anything, to the point where she could not even utter a word. This time, she understood that she had to cut down on the bad cold. Since there was no cough or chest pain, she breathed a sigh of relief if it wasn't pneumonia.

However, from this, it could be seen that if he did not have the Spirit Spring, most likely, he would have lost his life from the words he said yesterday. This also made her extremely afraid. But she did not regret it.

Seeing that his granddaughter had woken up, Doctor Tian was both angry and pained. "You little girl! He was too bold. There are so many adults on the shore, what is a little girl like you doing down there? "

Su Xinyu forced herself to smile, then said in a hoarse voice: "They won't move."

Doctor Tian could only sigh: "Those things that don't have any blood nor guts! When life was on the line, you still thought of the difference between men and women! "How pedantic!"

Su Xinyu praised step grandfather ten thousand times in her heart. Then, she heard the Doctor Tian say, "It's all thanks to the Young Master Wen. Otherwise, both your life and Zhou Ling's will be gone. "

"Sister Ling, how is it?" He was already like this, and Zhou Ling did not even have a Spirit Spring to protect herself with.

Doctor Tian sighed again, "That child is really pitiful. It is also because you have saved him well and are not in danger of losing your life. But the chill is worse than yours. "But it's also the luckiest thing that can happen in the midst of misfortune."

Hearing that Zhou Ling was not in any danger, Su Xinyu finally relaxed. "It's fine, it's good that you're fine."

"The Doctor Tian placed Su Xinyu's wrist back into the blanket. You, take care of yourself first. No matter how good you, body, are, this time you will at least have to lie down for ten days to half a month.

Su Xinyu's body did not have any major injuries. As for the Spirit Spring that she drank from, it seemed that the Spirit Spring didn't have much use for her this time, or that her body was seriously affected by the cold. Thus, his recovery was not as quick as it was before. If she did not secretly place the Spirit Spring in the water jar and have her mother stew a pot of chicken soup before sending it to Zhou Ling, she would have felt much better the next day.

However, thinking about it made sense. Spirit Spring was not an elixir of life after all, he had drank the Spirit Spring before so that it did not cause pneumonia, but he had a bad cold, and that was already not bad.

While Su Xinyu and Zhou Ling were recuperating, the Two-boundary Village men did not idle around either. The village chief, Zhou Ling's father, her brother, her cousin, and all of Zhou Family's cousins all went up to the battlefield, "killing" them all straight away to the Li Family Village. They wanted to get even with Li Erhu. This time, Li Youcai was also afraid. Previously, they had wanted to gain the upper hand, which was why they were able to reverse the situation. But now, Two-boundary Village and people said that if they did not punish Li Erhu, not only would they not apologize, they would also pay. They were going to report it. If their Two-boundary Village was not good, then their Li Family Village would not be good either! In any case, if this matter got out of hand, the entire village would be implicated. At that time, it would all be the fault of the Li family!

Although the majority of the people in the Li Family Village had the surname Li, they were all of the same family. Not to mention, even Li Erhu's clansmen were unwilling to take the blame. Thus, the people of the Li Family Village stood on the side of the Two-boundary Village. Even Zhou Ling's parents-in-law and her sister-in-law demanded an explanation from Second Cripple Li. At this time, even the village chief could not hold on to Li Youcai anymore. He could only let his second son suffer for the time being and apologize to Zhou Bei and Zhou Family. Li Youcai was still willing to compensate him with five taels of silver.

However, this time around, Vice Village Chief Zhou did not want this to happen. " Li Youcai. Don't even think about going there. If a good girl from our village marries into your village, your son will do whatever he likes. In the future, if he marries into your village with a daughter from another village, will your son be treated in the same way? You have a daughter, too. If she marries and is bullied like this by others, will you take the money? Let me tell you, people of Two-boundary Village and our Zhou Family do not lack money, nor do they care about these few silver taels. Either let Li Erhu kowtow to Zhou Ling and admit her wrongs, or we'll break his other leg, so that he won't harm anyone else in the future! Also, we need a letter from the Li Family to break the relationship between Zhou Ling and your Li Family. From then on, the two families never had anything to do with each other. "

It was easy to deal with the letter of departure, but Li Erhu's way of apologizing was too difficult. Asking a man to kowtow and admit his mistake for a woman, not to mention Li Erhu and Li Youcai, even the other men of the Li Family felt that it was a shame. But if the Two-boundary Village were to break Li Erhu's other leg, then Li Erhu would be completely crippled. Previously, his leg was used to tease the daughter of a hunter to the point that she was crippled. Later on, Li Youcai relied on his identity as the village chief to suppress this matter, forcing the hunter to leave the Li family village with his wife and daughter. If he was crippled again this time, then it would be even harder for Li Erhu to find a wife in the future.

However, the other Li Family members felt that it would be better to let Li Erhu lose another leg. It was still better than losing face for the entire village. Besides, with a slut like Li Er, he should have broken both his legs and stayed home. There was nothing bad about that.

In the end, for the sake of the so-called face of a man, Li You finally clenched his teeth and gave his second son's leg away. Hearing Ernil's words, Su Xinyu's village men used sticks each to cripple Li Youcai's legs.

Su Xinyu was in so much pain that she almost panicked when she heard her. So after getting down to the ground, she ran over to the Tian Family and asked the Doctor Tian: "Grandfather, how is Li Er's leg beaten?"

The Doctor Tian quickly made her sit on the brick bed. The weather was no longer cold at the end of May, but he was still afraid that Su Xinyu would hit the cold ground. This was what this woman feared the most. Why do you care about him? That kind of scum deserved to die. Lame legs make it easier for him. "

Su Xinyu shook her head, "I don't care about him at all. I just know what I've been beaten up into. I heard from the Ernil that if it's a man and a stick, I would ponder over it.

Doctor Tian laughed: "Where is there curiosity from girls?" It's a good thing you're not afraid. Ernil was not speaking nonsense, it was indeed a man and a stick, wouldn't it break just like that? Previously, his leg could move, but it was not agile. This time, her tendons and bones were broken. I even had the kindness to apply the medicine. After all, we can't afford to lose our lives. "

Su Xinyu took a deep breath. She thought to himself, "These men are really ruthless." But when she thought of Zhou Ling's pained expression and how she had yet to take a single step out of the room, she felt great inside. Then are we using lynchings? Would the authorities even care about this? "

The Doctor Tian shook his head: "Forget about the relationship between the yamen and our Two-boundary Village, even the yamen would not interfere in this matter. Don't worry. "That lass Zhou Ling has not recovered yet. If I were to look at you again, you would be able to run all over the place."

Su Xinyu pouted: "I'm not running around. I came to see you, grandfather. Oh right, after you prescribed the medicine for Young Master Wen one day, did he come to get the medicine from you again? I wonder how his body is doing. "

"Young Master Wen, four days ago, I went to his mansion and gave him a diagnosis. The cold is almost healed." The only thing was that he discovered the residual poison that had been accumulating in his body for many years, and that Young Master Wen was only fifteen this year. What a poor child.

Su Xinyu was finally relieved. That's good. It's all thanks to him this time. "

"Of course not. You have to thank him. It's just that the child is a good person and isn't that old. Otherwise, if he did such a good thing, his entire body would be filled with complaints. " Saying that, Doctor Tian sighed.

Su Xinyu's heart was moved: "Then grandfather, when will you be going to Young Master Wen? Can you bring me along? "

Doctor Tian was startled: "You, body, just happened to think of leaving?"

Su Xinyu shook her head. That person saved my life, so I can't just ignore it. If you go, take me with you on an excuse. I will personally make some delicious food and send it to the Young Master Wen. He is not short on money, but I must express my gratitude. Don't you agree? "

Doctor Tian thought so too. " I still have to go there again the day after tomorrow, but you have to first discuss this with your mother and your Seventh Grandmother before I can bring you there. "

"Su Xinyu immediately jumped off the brick bed. Then I'll go back and discuss this with Seventh Grandmother and my mother! That way I can make more food. She must repay the debt of saving her life. That's what it says in the books! "

Doctor Tian would never have thought that Su Xinyu was so petty. "I am also pleased with this child's kindness. She knows how to repay kindness." If you make him a medicinal meal, remember to tell me what you want to use. His medicine is different from yours, so there will be some taboos. "

Su Xinyu was startled, and nodded her head. Yes. "I know." But in fact, she already had some confidence. It seemed that step grandfather was not going to treat Wen Ling because of the cold. It might be the residual poison from before. It seemed that he needed to use more Spirit Spring s.
