Chapter 258 Ye Mu'en Gets Beaten
Ye Shengge was in so much pain that she couldn't even hear Zi Yisheng's questioning.
"I'm about to fall apart. I'll never ride a bicycle again next time."
Zi Yisheng thought of the crossbar of the bicycle and realized that the little girl must have suffered. He didn't dare to scold her anymore, so he quickly hugged her and took her into the house. He didn't even look at Uncle Gong behind him.
This commotion woke up the entire Ye family. Elder Fan understood what had happened as soon as he saw the person being helped into the house.
"Hurry and get her onto the bed first."
Elder Fan sat by the bed and took her pulse, his brow furrowed. Meanwhile, Elder Dang was drawn to Gong Wentao's face.
"How could the injury be so severe, affecting the internal organs?"
Ye Mu'en touched his nose. He had been too harsh this time.
"Elder Fan, can it still be cured?"
Seeing Ye Mu'en's guilty look, Elder Fan understood everything.
"It can be cured, but it will take at least a month, and she'll need to rest."
Gong Wentao didn't care at all. His body already had many hidden injuries. As long as he could get his revenge, he was willing to die at any time.
"It's fine, as long as it can hold up for a few more years."
"Hmph, you're not old yet but you're already learning to disregard your life. Who do you think you're looking down on? I said it can be cured, and it can be cured."
Elder Fan's stubbornness kicked in. He hated people who easily gave up on their lives the most.
Elder Dang then reached out and touched the wound on Gong Wentao's face, making Gong Wentao blush. What kind of perversion was this, touching his face for no reason?
"Old Fan, look at this young man's face. It's burned. Our newly developed medicine finally has a test subject."
Elder Fan hadn't really paid attention to Gong Wentao's face before. Now, seeing it, his eyes curved with a smile. Everything had come without effort.
"Let me see. Wow, you brat, you'll be staying here from now on. We'll take good care of your injuries."
The decision was made decisively, so domineering that no one could argue.
Ye Mu'en also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the two old gentlemen spoke, it would definitely be cured.
At this moment, Zi Yisheng finally remembered Gong Wentao. He still didn't know how Gong Wentao had ended up with the little girl.
Zi Yisheng put the little girl on the bed and was then kicked out. The little girl insisted that he not stay in the room. It was only when Ye's father couldn't stand it anymore that he took Zi Yisheng away.
Ye's mother looked at her daughter, who couldn't even sit properly and was lying on the bed leaning to one side. She thought her daughter was injured.
"Daughter, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Shengge was also speechless. She felt like her buttocks and thighs were swollen, and it hurt terribly when she sat down. She could only tell her mother about her miserable condition.
Ye's mother felt both heartache and amusement. Her youngest daughter had never ridden a bicycle before, let alone with the current poor road conditions. Of course, she would suffer.
"Come, take off your pants, and I'll rub some medicinal wine on you. Your eldest brother is also something, not even bothering to put a thick cushion on the back seat."
Ye Shengge shyly took off her pants. Ye's mother couldn't help but laugh. Her buttocks and thighs were covered in bruises. Because Ye Shengge's skin was fair, some places looked black and blue.
"How is it so serious? Just applying medicinal wine might not be enough. I'll go and ask Elder Fan."
Ye's mother covered her daughter's legs with a blanket and quickly closed the door to run out.
Zi Yisheng stood in Elder Fan's room, listening to his elder brother-in-law recount the night's events, and he was furious. What was he thinking, taking his little girl to the county town in the middle of the night?
Fine, if you go to the county town, you don't say anything, and you even leave the little girl behind to fight. Fighting is one thing, but you even beat your own people. What kind of night was this?
Ye Mu'en also felt that tonight was completely unsuitable for going out. Not only did he not achieve anything, but he also caused trouble.
"Uncle Gong, you should rest here and recover. I'll have Ah Long take over your work."
Gong Wentao knew his condition. He wanted to work, but his body had to be able to move.
"Alright, then have Ah Long come over tomorrow. I'll explain the specific situation to him clearly. Also, don't tell my parents that I'm recovering here. They're old."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything."
The room door was suddenly pushed open forcefully. As everyone turned to look, they heard a scream.
Ye's mother fiercely yanked Ye Mu'en's ear.
"You unfilial son, you took your sister out and didn't bother to put a cushion on the bicycle? You caused your sister to be injured all over. How could I have given birth to such a heartless brat like you?"
Hearing this, Zi Yisheng felt even more indignant. The delicate little girl was actually injured. He didn't dare to hit his elder brother-in-law, but he definitely wanted to make things difficult for him.
"Shengge's body is so weak, and now she's injured. She must be in so much pain. Aunt Bai, Shengge isn't crying, is she?"
When her daughter's poor health was mentioned, Ye's mother got angry. Thinking of the injuries all over her body, she wished she could strangle her son. She reached out and hit her son repeatedly, not holding back at all.
Ye's father, who hadn't seen his daughter's injuries, knew they must be serious when he saw how angry his wife was. He kicked his son a few times.
Ye Mu'en just stood there and let his parents hit him. How could he have known that his sister would be so badly injured just by riding a bicycle? He admitted his mistake!
Zi Yisheng nodded secretly with satisfaction. He couldn't hit him, so someone else was doing it for him.
Elder Dang understood the condition of his precious disciple's injuries and quickly took a porcelain bottle from his medicine box.
"Hurry and apply it to the girl, then rub your hands until they're warm and massage her until it's all absorbed. Otherwise, she'll be in more pain tomorrow."
Ye's mother couldn't bother to scold her son anymore. She grabbed the porcelain bottle and rushed to her daughter's room.
Mo Lin and Aunt Zhen opened the kitchen again. They had to make some food for the injured.
Little Tiantian had already sneaked into Ye Shengge's room and was lying by the bed, watching Ye Shengge.
When Ye's mother returned, she felt a little softened by seeing Little Tiantian. Only a daughter knew how to be considerate. Although she couldn't speak, everyone could tell that Little Tiantian was concerned about her own daughter.
"Little Tiantian, it's very late. Why don't you go to bed first?"
Ye Shengge had been discussing with Little Tiantian, but no matter what she said, she wouldn't budge. It was already past eleven o'clock, which was very late for a child of her age.
Ye's mother didn't care whether Little Tiantian was willing or not. She picked her up, threw off her shoes, and placed her on the bed. She patted Little Tiantian's little butt and said,
"Go to sleep quickly. When you wake up, your sister's injuries will be healed."
Little Tiantian didn't know if she understood, but she leaned against her sister and closed her eyes, falling asleep.
Ye's mother brought a basin of hot water and used a towel to give her daughter a hot compress first, then carefully applied the ointment evenly. She rubbed her hands together and said,
"Bear with it."
With one palm strike, Ye Shengge cried out in pain repeatedly.
Ye's father, standing in the yard, heard this and chased Ye Mu'en with a broom. Zi Yisheng just watched from the side with cold eyes, wishing he could cheer for his father-in-law.
Gong Wentao smiled rarely as he listened to the commotion in the yard. He had seen Ye Huaijin from afar before. He was someone to be looked up to, always standing in a high position, unattainable. He never expected to see him so down-to-earth one day.
