"Village Chief, why isn't the Song family kid here?" a villager asked. "He often goes up the mountain to hunt. I'm afraid he doesn't know about this."

The village chief said calmly, "Go to his house and tell him the news. He's quite skilled and often hunts prey, so he should be able to pay for it."

The other villagers dispersed.

When the women in the village saw Li Taohua, they all came over.

"Mother Huiyin, your family still hasn't found the money for the fifty taels of silver, and now another two taels have come. What are you going to do? In my opinion, you'd better agree to Boss Chen's request."

Li Taohua stopped and looked at the woman who was speaking with cold eyes.

The woman was startled by her expression and moved aside cautiously, saying guiltily, "I mean well, too."

"Your black heart is full of holes. Who do you think is a fool and still believes that you have good intentions? Listen carefully, if you dare to have ideas about my daughter again, I will make your village have no peace for a single day. If you have the time to take care of me, you might as well take care of your man. I heard that he lost his pants again. You shrew scolded him for a long time, but you didn't really think that the pants he was wearing could be lost, did you?"

"what do you mean?"

"What do I mean, don't you understand?"

"You bitch, did you do something to the child's father?"

"Oh, I've been going out early and coming back late recently, working every day. I'm upright and honest. You can just ask around and you'll know where I am. Besides, your man is so short, I'd rather give him to me to eat. I think the two ounces of meat are too dirty. Ugh..." Li Taohua looked nauseous and wanted to vomit.

The woman next to them was cracking melon seeds, watching the two people swearing at each other with a playful look on her face. However, it was obvious that Li Taohua's fighting ability was too strong, and the woman was almost irritated to death.

Qin Huiyin tried hard to recall the plot of the original novel.

According to the original novel, Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao were already dead, leaving only Tang Dafu, Li Taohua and her daughter, and Tang Yichen, at home. In the original novel, Chen Zhongyi never came to the Tang family to cause a scene, and the fifty taels of silver seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, never mentioned again. When the government asked each family to contribute one person to repair the dam, Li Taohua's reaction was the same as now: she was unwilling to contribute the money and asked Tang Yichen to do the work. Tang Yichen eventually gave her two taels of silver to settle the matter.

How could a despicable person like Chen Zhongyi not come to collect the debt? If he originally came for Li Taohua, does that mean that Li Taohua let him succeed?

That's right. By then, the male protagonist had completely resented his biological father, stepmother, and stepsister, and rarely returned home. Tang Dafu, after regaining his ability to work in the fields, suffered from a leg injury, confining him to farm work and never working in the city again. But Li Taohua's life remained good, still boasting beautiful clothes and jewelry. She was still the most reviled woman in the village, constantly flaunting her charm. She raised her daughter well, and the original owner shared her selfishness and extravagant lifestyle.

Qin Huiyin had once treated them like mere paper figures, devoid of any deep emotions. The entire novel revolved around the male protagonist, so it was mostly told from his perspective. As for the supporting characters, their screen time was limited to a few passing mentions, mere cannon fodder, and only two or three chapters in total. It was a great achievement for her to even recall this one scene.

"Yinyin, are you worried about your brother?" Tang Luwu saw that she had been silent and thought that she was worried about Tang Yichen who was left behind by the village chief.

Qin Huiyin shook her head gently: "No. The village chief kept Brother Chen because he was worried that our family would ask Brother Chen to repair the dam. If he knew that we originally planned to spend money to settle this matter, he would probably be relieved."

When the two passed by Song Ruize's house, they saw Song Ruize's uncle being pushed out of the fence gate by Song Ruize.

"You little bastard, I'm your uncle, how dare you disrespect your elders like this..."

Song Ruize was disheveled and stained with blood. He glanced viciously at Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu as they passed by.

Tang Luwu was startled by him and pulled Qin Huiyin away at a quick pace.

Qin Huiyin looked back in the direction of Song Ruize, and saw Song Ruize pulling out the dagger from his waist, while the Song family's uncle ran away in fear, cursing.

Perhaps noticing the gaze, Song Ruize looked in the direction of Qin Huiyin, his red eyes looking sinister, like an evil ghost crawling out of the ground.

BANG! He fell down.

Qin Huiyin grabbed Tang Luwu and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Tang Luwu asked.

"I suddenly remembered that I left something in the ancestral hall. You go back first, I'll go get it and be back soon."

"I'll accompany you."

"No, there are still many things to do at home, you go back to work first."

Tang Luwu had no doubts.

Qin Huiyin walked back and looked around when she stood outside the Song family's gate. When she was sure that no one had discovered her, she pushed open the gate and walked in.

She didn't want to be sneaky, considering the awkward relationship between this body and both the Tang and Song families. Technically, Song Ruize was the original owner's stepbrother. However, her mother had remarried and treated Song Ruize badly. If she suddenly showed up at the Song family, who knew how many stories would spread.

Song Ruize was lying on the ground.

His face was flushed and his breathing was rapid, obviously he was sick.

She carried him with great effort, half carrying and half dragging him into the room.

As soon as I walked in, the smell of blood hit my nose. I saw a set of clothes that looked like they had been soaked in blood, and many blood-stained rags on the ground.

This is an injury, and a serious one.

Song Ruize always went hunting in the mountains, targeting ferocious beasts. Although he would occasionally succeed in hunting prey, most of the time he would return empty-handed.

The people in the village only saw that he had such excellent skills at such a young age, but they did not see the effort behind catching the prey.

She put Song Ruize on the bed.

At this time, Song Ruize's clothes were soaked with blood again.

She looked at him and said, "Brother, I want to save you, not take advantage of you. Don't hate me when you wake up."

In the original novel, Satomi's powerful and pitiful villain was once a paper-thin figure whom she deeply loved. He and the hero share a similar background, but he serves as a contrasting contrast. The hero has a loving wife, a loving woman, and benefactors to help him, while the villain encounters those who scheme against him, exploit him, resent him, and fear him.

She took off Song Ruize's clothes.

"Oh my God..." She looked at the hideous wound on her abdomen in shock.

The wound had begun to fester, clearly not just in a day or two.

"Are you stupid? You're so injured, why don't you go see a doctor? You don't have any money? That's impossible. Where did you sell the prey you hunted before?"

Qin Huiyin muttered to herself, not expecting an unconscious person to respond to her.

"Wait here while I go up the mountain to pick some herbs to stop bleeding and dissolve blood stasis," Qin Huiyin said. "Luckily, I used to be a miscellaneous blogger, and I spent several months livestreaming my followers on survival trips in the wild, teaching them how to identify wild herbs. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to handle this."
