The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Xu Yi's originally clean clothes were slowly stained with blood, and Qiao Xi's eyes were red with self-blame.

Because it was too painful, Xu Yi gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"Is it my turn to whip the back?"

Qiao Xi asked the head of the village in an affirmative tone.

The village head nodded.

"Wait a minute, village head. My sister-in-law is a woman, and her foot is injured. Xu Yi is willing to share five lashes with her."

"No, brother-in-law, you have already received more than ten lashes, you cannot bear more. I can bear the seven lashes."

Josie refused.

But Xu Yi didn't pay attention to what she said. He just looked up at the head of the village and said, "Please do it."

The headman looked at Qiao Xi who kept shaking her head, then looked at Xu Yi's tenacious eyes, narrowed his eyes, and swung the whip in his hand towards Xu Yi again.

As he wished, Qiao Xi only received two whippings, but these two whippings also made her realize how powerful he was.

At this moment, her entire back was burning with pain, as if many needles were stuck in her back, and she felt a stabbing pain every time she moved.

Xu Yi was whipped eighteen times in total, and his entire back was covered with red whip marks. The pain he endured was countless times more than that of Qiao Xi.

But he just sent everyone away without saying a word.

Su Dongxia was satisfied after watching them being beaten. Since Li was there, she couldn't hold on any longer. She asked Xu Dalin to carry Xu Nan on his back and they dispersed with the crowd.

For a moment, there were only four people left in Liu Lan's yard except her, the owner.

Xu Chong and Lu Yun, and Xu Yi and Qiao Qian.

"Brother Xu Yi, I'm sorry for you!"

Xu Chong held Xu Yi's arm, his face full of guilt and self-blame.

Hearing this, Xu Yi forced a smile, his brows still furrowed in pain: "No, I'm the one who should apologize. Brother Chong, you did nothing wrong."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Lan with an apologetic look on his face: "Sister-in-law Liu Lan, I'm sorry that we disturbed your peace and quiet and also soiled your yard."

Liu Lan was supporting Qiao Xi. When she heard this, she didn't care at all. She said in a loud voice, "Hey, Brother Xu Yi, you're too polite. We need to take care of the wounds now. Quick, Xu Chong and Sister Yun, help carry them back home. I'll see if there's any medicine we can use at home."

With that, Liu Lan went into the house to find medicine.

Xu Yi and his wife supported Xu Chong and his wife as they returned home.

Because both of them were whipped on the back, they could only lie down for a while.

Qiao Xi was fine, her injuries were minor, and Lu Yun quickly cleaned her wound and waited for the application of medicine.

Xu Yi was whipped many times, and Xu Chong, a man, was clumsy, so it took some effort to help him treat his injuries.

But just after the treatment, seeing blood slowly oozing out of the wound, Xu Chong looked out the window anxiously.

Although Xu Yi was lying down, he saw everything.

He said calmly, "Brother Chong, sit down and take a rest. Sister Liu Lan will definitely come over soon after she finds the medicine."

Doesn't he trust Sister Liu Lan's character?

Hearing Xu Yi's advice, Xu Chong scratched his head and sat on the edge of the bed: "I know, but looking at your injuries, I can't help but feel anxious. By the way, you were trapped in the mountains last night, and I guess you didn't get enough rest. Hurry up and close your eyes and rest."

"Found it, found it!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Chong finished speaking, Liu Lan's voice was heard in the yard.

Xu Chong hurried to the window and waved outside: "Sister-in-law Lan, over here."

He thought that Qiao Xi had only been whipped twice and could take it easy, but Xu Yi was the more important.

Seeing Xu Chong waving, Liu Lan hesitated for a moment and then came over to them.

Although she was a woman and it was inappropriate for her to apply medicine to Xu Yi, Xu Chong was too stupid and almost made Xu Yi's wound worse by applying only a little medicine.

Liu Lan couldn't bear it and had to go herself.

Looking at the medicine full of Xu Yi's back, Liu Lan stopped, gave him some instructions, and turned to go to Qiao Xi.

After treating Qiao Xi's wound, he had to give her some instructions.

"Sister Lan, my husband just said that the two of them were trapped in the mountains last night and haven't eaten anything yet. I'm going to the kitchen to see if I can make anything. Could you please help look after Sister Qian?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lan asked her to go to the kitchen quickly.

Seeing Lu Yun go out, she thought about asking Qiao Xi if she wanted some water. When she turned around, she saw Qiao Xi frowning slightly and twisting her body constantly, as if she was very uncomfortable.

Liu Lan thought it was impossible for someone injured to not feel uncomfortable, so she tried to comfort her: "Sister Qian, please don't move any more. It will be troublesome if you pull the wound. You've applied medicine to the wound, so you only need to rest for two days."

"But my chest feels better."

Qiao Xi was so uncomfortable that she had to put her arms across her chest to support herself.

"Huh?" Liu Lan frowned, "Is there something in your clothes?"

Otherwise, why is there a slight bulge under her clothes?

After she said this, Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, and then she remembered that there was indeed something in her clothes that she had not taken out.

It just so happened that Sister Lan was here and could help take a look. She hurriedly took out the wild ginseng from her arms.

"Sister-in-law, you know about herbs. Can you help me see how much this wild ginseng can fetch if I take it to a pharmacy?"

"Wild ginseng?"

Liu Lan looked at the small cloth bag in her hand in surprise. When she opened it, she saw a large ginseng.

She hurriedly and carefully took it in her palm and examined it carefully. She said with a few "tsk tsk" sounds, "What a good ginseng, Sister Qian, is this wild ginseng dug from the mountain?"

Didn’t Sister Yun just say that she went up the mountain?

Qiao Xi nodded and chuckled. "Exactly. Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, how much can it be sold for? How long can it support my son Yan Zheng's education?"

"It's hard for me to say." Liu Lan hesitated. "I estimate that this ginseng is so big, it must be at least ten years old. It can be sold for at least one hundred taels of silver."

"So many!" This was something Qiao Xi had not expected.

She originally thought that if she could sell it for fifty taels, it would be enough to last for a while.

After the surprise, a smile appeared on his face, and even the injury on his back didn't hurt much anymore.

Liu Lan was very envious: "Sister Qian, you are so lucky. You can dig up wild ginseng just by going up the mountain. I have been there so many times, and I have never seen such a big ginseng, let alone a small one. This is a blessing in disguise for you!"

"I just got damn lucky."

Qiao Xi followed her words, but she knew that all this was thanks to the navigation in the system.

"Sister-in-law, how do we preserve this?"

She and Xu Yi are both injured now, and it will probably take some time for them to get into the city. What if the ginseng goes bad if it is not stored properly?

"That's not difficult!" Liu Lan laughed and returned the ginseng to her. "Just put it in a cool and ventilated place."

"Oh, okay, thank you, sister-in-law. But, sister-in-law, can you keep this ginseng matter a secret for me?"

Their house suddenly had such a valuable item. What if someone with ulterior motives found out about it?

Liu Lan was a smart person. As soon as she opened her mouth, I knew what she was thinking and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she agreed, Qiao Xi felt relieved. She looked around the house, trying to find a suitable place to store the ginseng.

But before she could find a place, she heard someone in the yard shouting, "Oh no, oh no!"

Judging from the voice, it sounds like Liu Lichun.

"I'll go see what's going on!"

Liu Lan patted Qiao Xi, signaling her not to move, and then quickly left the room.
