Chapter 51: Double Repayment
Village Chief Li was too lazy to care for the old lady, he turned away his head and saw Doctor Li squeezing himself from the crowd . Apparently, he seemed to be running all the way because he was sweating .
“You came, hurry, hurry and look at Zhao Lan . Her hand seems to be swelling than yesterday . ”
Doctor Lu gasped for breath and said: “I just went to Hu Changlin’s house . Old Hu’s hand was also broken . I put some medicine and bandage his hand . So, I came late . ”
Hu Feng originally wanted to go back home and see his father . But after hearing Doctor Li’s words, he turned back and stand beside Bai Zhi . Although he can’t do anything now, staying was still better .
Old Lady Bai rushed in front of Doctor Lu and said: “Look at my son, Dazhu first . Zhao Lan is used to living a hard life, so she won’t die easily . My son Dazhu’s injuries were heavier than her . ”
Doctor Lu frowned and swept his eyes towards Bai Dazhu . He seems not having difficulty to breath: “Anyone who had eyes can see who was seriously injured here . You old woman only know how to speak ill . ”
Old Lady Bai was still distressed with the 2 silver coins she lost with Doctor Lu . But now he was blaming her for the lack of morality? Old Lady Bai’s anger immediately burst out and shouted: “Why are you swearing? Do you think you are the only doctor here? You get out, we don’t need you to give us a cure . ”
When Mrs . Liu heard this, she was so scared that she quickly released her husband’s arm and rushed forward to the old lady: “Niang, what are you saying? Dazhu is seriously injured . If he won’t get treatment, won’t he become disabled?”
Naturally, Old Lady Bai doesn’t want her eldest son to become disabled . But, how much would it cost her? Yesterday, Zhao Lan’s hand was only checked and bandaged, but it already cost her 2 silvers . Where will she get 4 silvers? How many days she has to save money?
Old Lady Bai swept her eyes to Hu Feng, then she immediately got an idea . She cried and said: “Village Chief, you also saw it . My son Dazhu was injured by Hu Feng . Now, Dazhu needs to be treated . You have to get the money for us, you have to give us justice . ”
Village Chief Li looked at Hu Feng: “Did you hurt Bai Dazhu?”
Hu Feng nodded his head and said with indifference: “I hit him . He hurt my father first . I just made him paid for it . I didn’t ask for money for my father’s treatment, so we’re only equal . ”
Village Chief Li only smiled inside his heart . He didn’t show it on the surface of his face, he only looked at Old Lady Bai and said: “Was Hu Changlin injured by your son?”
Old Lady Bai gritted her teeth and shook her head: “No, we didn’t hurt Hu Changlin . He fell on his own . ”
At this time, the villagers who had witnessed the whole process with their own eyes shouted: “This old woman, you can speak without any conscience ah . At that time, we all saw the truth . Your Bai Dazhu beat old man Hu . Why are you denying it now?”
Old Lady Bai pointed her finger at the man and shouted: “Do you want to die a thousand times? This is our family’s business, so shut up your mouth! Why are you staying here? Get away from here, get out!”
The man said calmly: “So many people have witnessed your family hurt Old Man Hu . How dare you deny it?”
Old Lady Bai’s face become red and white, then from white to blue . No need to mention how exactly how she feels . Old Lady Bai straightens her back and said: “Yes, its true, Hu Changlin’s hand was injured by my son Dazhu . Dazhu only injured one of his hand, but Hu Feng injured both of my son’s hands . How about that?”
Hu Feng’s cold and sharp eyes swept slowly to Old Lady Bai, then he said word by word: “If people will not commit a crime on me, I will not commit a crime . But if people commit a crime on me, I’ll make him pay double . ”
