"Yes, Doctor Lu, I feel pain all over my body, I feel uncomfortable everywhere, and my head is a little dizzy." Xie Cailian said weakly.

"Then how did she hit you? Where did she hit you?" Doctor Lu continued.

"He hit me with his hands, hit me... hit me..." Xie Cailian stammered.

"Where are you going to be hit? Tell me now!"

"How can you hit me? He's an old male doctor, how can he treat me? I think you just want to gang up on me and bully me!" Xie Cailian said angrily.

"Ignorant woman, I am a doctor. Doctors do not care about gender, don't you understand? But what she said, village chief, is right. She is a woman with injuries on her body. It is indeed inappropriate for me to examine her." Doctor Lu said with some embarrassment.

"Doesn't Yao Qingnian know medical skills?" someone suddenly said.

"She is the person involved now, so it is definitely not appropriate for the Zhou family to see her."

"Now what?"

The villagers talked a lot and started discussing again.

"I'll do it!" said Zhao Wenpo from the village volunteered.

"Po Zhao is a suitable candidate. She delivers babies for women, children and the elderly in the village. It should be no problem for her to check if there are any injuries on the body."

"Okay! Mrs. Zhao, then you go and see her and see how badly she's injured. Then you tell everyone. To show fairness, the two of you go in and witness it together!" The village chief pointed to two women in the crowd. One was Aunt Yuan, the one who had delivered her daughter-in-law on the way, and the other was also a woman from the village, someone Yao Qingnian had met a few times but was not familiar with.

After the arrangements were made, Xie Cailian looked at Old Lady Zhou nervously, but Old Lady Zhou didn't even look at her. She looked calm, which was beyond Yao Qingnian's expectations. This shouldn't be the case. How could this old lady not panic at all? Could it be that she had planned this in advance? Could it be that when she was out, Old Lady Zhou had deliberately beaten her daughter-in-law for show?

A few people found an empty room and walked in. After about quarter of an hour, they came out of the room.

Seeing them come out, the villagers all looked at them curiously: "What happened?"

"Village head, Xie Cailian does have quite a few wounds," said Mrs. Zhao. The two aunts who followed in also nodded. Aunt Yuan looked at her worriedly but said nothing.

"What, it's actually true?"

"Did Huaijin's wife really beat her?"

"Yeah, we still believed her so much, and after all this trouble, it turns out she was the one who lied."

The crowd watching was in an uproar, pointing fingers at Yao Qingnian.

"Village chief, did you hear that? We didn't wrongly accuse this bitch. She really beat my daughter-in-law and injured her all over. Now, can we ask her to compensate us with money?" Old Lady Zhou said with great pride.

"This...Qing Nian girl, did you really hit her?"

"No." Yao Qingnian responded indifferently.

"No, you bitch, the evidence is solid, but you still refuse to admit it even when you are about to die!" Old Lady Zhou said aggressively.

"The evidence is irrefutable, based on the injuries on her body?"

"Of course, if you didn't beat her, how could she have injuries?!"

"Granny Zhao, let me ask you, what are the injuries on Xie Cailian's body?" Yao Qingnian ignored everyone's gazes and asked Mrs. Zhao.

"She is covered with wounds, and there are few intact places." Po-po Zhao has been in the village for so many years, and she has only seen a few such cases. The person who did it is really cruel.

"You stupid girl, what's wrong with you? There are so many people watching, and my daughter-in-law is covered in wounds, and you still want to deny it!"

"Is it me who caused all these injuries? Don't you find it strange? If I had a conflict with the Zhou family and we had a fight, how could it be possible that she was covered with injuries in just a short while? The neighbors around should have seen it in the morning. I didn't have anything on my hands." Yao Qingnian felt that this was very suspicious, so he analyzed it calmly.

"Yes, when I came out in the morning, I saw two people at the door. There was no conflict, but the Xie family member was soaked." A villager stood up and said.

"Who knows what tricks you, a bitch, used? Oh my God, this woman is so cruel. She actually used such harsh hands on my daughter-in-law. It's so unjust!" Old Mrs. Zhou howled, and for a moment, they were in a stalemate again.

At this moment, Aunt Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly remembered something and said, "No! Zhou, when did wife Huaijin beat you?"

"When else can it be? In the morning!" Seeing that everyone was on their side, the Zhou family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought they had won the battle.

"Then this injury couldn't have been caused by Huaijin's wife!" Aunt Yuan said affirmatively.

"Yuan family, how do you know that?" The village chief seemed to see hope and asked anxiously.

"Village chief, although I'm not a doctor, I know from seeing bumps and bruises on daily basis that the wounds must be fresh. The wounds on Zhou family's daughter-in-law are different, but most of them are old wounds, a bit like... yes, like the ones on Wang Qinyu. When the eldest son of Huang family came back that day, he lifted up his daughter-in-law's sleeves, and I saw it from the side. It was that kind of wound." Aunt Yuan said affirmatively.

"You are not a doctor, don't pretend to know and protect this bitch. My daughter-in-law's injuries were caused by her beating this morning. It's not an old injury."

"It's easy to prove what I said. Just lift up her sleeves and take a look. She has the same injuries on her arms as on her body. Just show the injuries on her hands to Doctor Lu, and we'll know, right?"

Yao Qingnian looked at Aunt Yuan with gratitude. She didn't expect that she was so observant that she even noticed such details. This helped her a lot.

"No! I don't agree! You have already seen it, and now you want my daughter-in-law to show her arms in public. How can we in the Zhou family still live as human beings? You are not allowed to look!" Old Mrs. Zhou was panicked.

"You have no right to disagree! Everyone in the village has to work in the fields, and exposing hands is not immoral! Come on, hold down Zhou's girl and make her show her hands." The village chief gave an order, and several people immediately stepped forward to grab Xie Cailian, lifted up her sleeves, revealing the wound on her hands. Doctor Lu on the side looked around and asked them to let her go.

He said to the village chief and everyone else, "Yes, these injuries are almost all the accumulation of old injuries and new injuries, but they couldn't have happened this morning, so they are lying. These injuries were not caused by Qing Nian."

"People from the Zhou family, what else do you have to say!" The village chief shouted at several people from the Zhou family.

"If you say it's not true, then it's not true. Why? I don't care. She beat me." Old lady Zhou started to act like a rogue.

"Yes, she was the one who caused the injuries on my body!" Xie Cailian echoed.
