A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman
Chapter 7: Going to Seek Justice
"Thank you, doctor."
Huang Mulin, lying on the bed, smiled sweetly and thanked him.
"She's still a smart girl."
Yan Bufan doesn't like to laugh and always has a serious expression. The children who come to see the doctor are afraid of him and always stay close to their parents and keep quiet. It's rare to meet a girl who is not afraid of him and smiles at him.
After briefly instructing Huang Bo and his wife to pay more attention, Yan Bufan picked up the medicine box and went to the home of the next patient who needed treatment.
"Hui Niang," Huang Bo took his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry. Mu Mu is blessed by fate. Doctor Yan also said that he will get better after taking medicine for a while. You can rest assured."
He Hui Niang had not been eating or sleeping well these days, and she looked much more haggard, but she said nothing. Huang Bo was afraid that she would become sick due to the depression in her heart.
"I know." He Hui Niang held his hand back, as if to encourage herself: "Our Mu Mu will definitely get better."
"Dad, Mom, don't be afraid." The eldest brother Huang Qilin said, "We will take good care of your sister."
The other brothers also patted their chests and promised that they would make their sister happy.
The couple watched their children playing together again in an instant, and the haze in their hearts dissipated.
"After lunch, I went to the old house to sort things out."
Huang Bo assured her.
He Hui Niang looked into his eyes, saw the determination in his eyes, and nodded.
After noon, Huang Bo settled the household affairs, told his sons to pay more attention to their mother and sister, and left after getting their assurances.
He first went to Huang Dachuan's home and told him his idea. Huang Dachuan was a little surprised and advised him to reconsider it.
But Huang Bo felt that there was no room for maneuver, and Huang Dachuan felt that it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, so he had no choice but to go with him.
Huang Bo also called Huang Erzhu, Uncle Huang Liu, Aunt Huang Liu, and a few other neighbors who were attending the one-year-old birthday party that day. A dozen people all walked towards Roland and Huang Ming's house.
Bang bang bang.
Deng Cuihua, who was feeding chickens in the chicken coop, heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Huang Bo."
Deng Cuihua was startled, and quickly left the chicken coop, walking into the house while shouting, "Brother, wait a moment."
"Mom, Mingzi." Deng Cuihua said to the two people who were sitting in the house enjoying the cool air, "Brother is here."
The two people in the room had also vaguely heard the sound, and thinking back to Huang Bo's ruthlessness that day, they couldn't help but frown.
"This bastard!" Roland said angrily, "There's really no end to it!"
She originally thought that Huang Bo was just talking casually, but she didn't expect him to really come to her.
Bang bang bang.
There was another knock on the door, louder than the last time.
"What are you knocking for?" Roland shouted outside the house, "Are you trying to summon the soul?"
She put on her 70% new floral shoes and walked out. Huang Ming thought about it and followed her out.
He thought, his mother was around, and Huang Bo couldn't do anything to him.
The door opened. Roland glared at Huang Bo, then looked at the group of people behind him and snorted, "What's going on? Are they going to come and force us, mother and son, to death?"
This fierce look made many people take a step back in a hurry.
"Mom, I came here today to resolve the issue of Mu Mu getting injured last time."
"What is there to say? It's nothing serious."
Roland had heard from other people that the girl was lucky and was fine except for some broken skin and some bleeding.
"Mother," Huang Bo endured it, not wanting to argue with Roland: "Mu Mu didn't hurt her brain, it's her blessing! I came here today to find Huang Ming, please compensate me ten taels of silver for the medical expenses and supplements."
"What!?"
Not only Roland, but also the others who were called behind Huang Bo were confused.
"You want ten taels of silver for such a minor injury? Why don't you just go and rob?"
Roland was so angry that he wanted to find a stick to give Huang Bo a good beating.
"Mu Mu was treated with good medicine for his injuries. It cost more than three taels of silver. You can go and confirm with Doctor Yan."
Huang Bo explained slowly, "Mu Mu is weak, so I killed a few chickens and cooked meat every day to nourish her body. I also bought some expensive donkey-hide gelatin to replenish her blood. All in all, ten taels of silver is not a lot."
Ever since Huang Mulin was injured, people in the village did see Huang Bo buying a few chickens and cutting some meat. As for the donkey-hide gelatin, many people had never heard of it, but Huang Bo said it was expensive, so everyone else thought that donkey-hide gelatin must be a very expensive thing.
"You're spending so much money to treat a money-losing girl?" Roland screamed, "Are you crazy?!"
Then he started to scold Huang Bo for being a spendthrift and unfilial, and even cursed Huang Mulin.
Huang Bo suppressed his anger and remained silent for the time being, allowing Roland to curse at him.
"Alright." Huang Dachuan couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Horse's mother, today, Horse invited me and the villagers to come here to be witnesses. If you have anything to say, let's talk it out. It's not the elders' job to scold a little kid."
Roland's mouth felt a little dry after she finished speaking, and she stopped talking when Huang Dachuan started talking.
"Brother, I don't agree to this compensation." Huang Ming spoke up at this time: "You also beat me that day, and the villagers saw it. My face was swollen and my mouth was bleeding. Don't you have to compensate me too?"
"Compared to my Mu Mu, your injury is nothing."
Huang Bo turned his head and looked at Huang Ming, saying, "The compensation I want is the medical expenses after the injury, meat and egg supplements. You were only slightly injured at the time, why? Do you still need to see a doctor? Of course, seeing a doctor is fine, may I ask if you have seen a doctor? Which doctor saw you? How much did it cost? Is there a doctor to testify?"
Huang Dachuan and others were confused again.
No, Huang Bo, are you really that good at talking? How come I never noticed it before!
Everyone silently worried about not offending Huang Bo.
Huang Ming opened his mouth and looked at Huang Bo stupidly, helpless to do anything about Huang Bo's eloquence.
Roland ignored Huang Bo's rebuttal and said, "Bozi, even if you can say a flower today, you can't take the ten taels of silver! I will never give you this money!"
"mother."
"Don't call me mom! I'm not your mom!"
"Well then." Huang Bo pretended to be helpless: "Then I can only report to the police."
"you dare!?"
Not only Huang Ming, even Huang Dachuan was a little nervous.
If the matter were to be brought to the government office, it would become famous throughout the area.
shame.
"Pay money or report to the police, it's your choice."
Huang Bo remained unmoved.
"This is your brother!" Roland angrily slapped Huang Bo: "You are going to kill him!"
"He almost killed my daughter."
"you you!"
Roland was so angry that he was afraid that Huang Bo would really go to the government office to report to the authorities, so he kept scratching him anxiously.
Huang Ming was really scared when he saw Huang Bo's attitude.
Although he did not admit that the yamen was a cannibalistic place, he was indeed in the wrong in this matter. The little girl almost lost her life and many people saw it, which was very disadvantageous to him.
"Brother, we can talk about it." Huang Ming smiled and said, "It's just that this money is too much."
"When we go to the government office, the officials will have the final say."
How could Huang Ming dare to go? He could only look to his mother for help.
