When they returned to the village, it was already midnight.
The villagers went to bed, and only the occasional barking of dogs broke the silence of the night.
Tang Jizu got off the car first with his wife and children, and handed the ox cart to Tang Yichen and his sister.
After all, it is too late now. Mr. Tang San is old and has gone to bed long ago. The ox cart will be handed over to Tang Yichen and returned to Mr. Tang San tomorrow.
"Uncle, the rental of the ox cart is twenty cents. Do you want to pay it to Third Grandpa yourself, or do you want us to pay it on your behalf?" Qin Huiyin's voice was loud and clear in the cold night.
Tang Jizu took out his purse, counted out twenty copper coins and handed them over: "...Please pay them for me."
"By the way, tomorrow we will find the village chief to explain the final outcome of our two families' affairs. Uncle won't take them into hiding, right?"
"Of course not." Tang Jizu clenched his palms, "Tomorrow I will bring them to apologize in front of the whole village."
"And you have to promise not to do it again. If you do, we won't give you face."
"of course."
"Uncle, you are so reasonable. You should teach your son well. If you continue like this, I'm afraid your only son will be raised astray."
Qin Huiyin was not afraid of Li Erniu's fiery eyes and continued to make things worse for the family. As for whether this fire would cause their family to collapse, it had nothing to do with her.
"Yinyin, let's go home." Tang Yichen urged Qin Huiyin to sit down.
Qin Huiyin sat next to Tang Yichen.
Tang Yichen turned the cow's head and drove it towards home.
At the gate of the Tang family, two figures were milling around. When they heard the sound of oxen's hooves and cart wheels, they looked over excitedly, "They're back."
Qin Huiyin saw the shadows from a distance and said to Tang Yichen, "Look, I said they weren't asleep yet. I guessed right, didn't I?"
"How can Aunt Li sleep if you're not back?" Tang Yichen smiled faintly.
"She even saved my younger brother this time. My mother is a very simple person. She treats anyone who treats her well. She's just been through too much hardship, so she's become a little more alert."
"I understand. Don't worry, as long as Aunt Li doesn't do anything to hurt my sister-in-law, I will respect her as my own mother, and I will also treat you as my own sister."
"Thank you, big brother." Qin Huiyin said sweetly, "Be careful, there's a pit ahead, turn a corner..."
Seeing the ox cart getting closer, Li Taohua and Tang Luwu opened the fence gate and waited for the ox cart to stop. One of them went to pick up Qin Huiyin, and the other tied the ox to a large rock nearby.
"My girl, are you okay? Didn't that crazy woman bully you? Tang Jizu works for a rich family and is very cunning. Did you suffer any harm?" Li Taohua asked anxiously.
"Mom, you are the one who is injured, why are you still worried about me? I bought medicine for you. Come, I will take you to apply the medicine." Qin Huiyin pulled Li Taohua and showed her the spoils.
Tang Lvwu and Tang Yichen cared for Tang Yixiao, who had applied the medicine. Tang Yixiao had woken up on the way back. He just didn't want to see Li Erniu, so he pretended not to wake up. Now that they were home, Tang Yichen and Tang Lvwu didn't need to carry him down. He grabbed the railing and sat up, then got off the ox cart with Tang Lvwu's help.
"What did the doctor say?" Tang Luwu asked Tang Yichen.
Tang Yichen said, "The external injuries on his face can be healed in three days by applying ointment. I'll stop giving him the medicine to heal his body. The doctor has prescribed new medicine. I can resume the previous medicine after his internal injuries are healed. Anyway, let him take care of himself for the time being! My external injuries are almost healed now, so I can go back to work."
"Brother, I'm fine. I can work." Tang Yixiao was unhappy when he heard that he would be supported by him.
"Your external injuries may not be taken seriously, but that woman hit you too hard and it has affected your body."
"I'm really fine." Tang Yi said with a smile, "I can rest at home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and my injury will be healed."
"What are you trying to do in such a hurry?"
"I...I just want to work. If you don't let me work, I'll find it boring."
Tang Luwu pulled Tang Yichen and said, "Brother, forget it. There are still two days left. We don't need to rush."
The Tang family lit an oil lamp, and under the lamp, Qin Huiyin applied medicine to Li Taohua with heartache.
Li Taohua's injuries were not serious, with only a few shallow scratches, which disappeared after applying medicine.
"Mom, you're so awesome today." Qin Huiyin said, "Why are you so protective of my little brother?"
Li Taohua raised her face and let Qin Huiyin apply ointment on her. She said confidently, "Don't you like the people in their family? If you like them, mother will help you take care of them."
"I thought you were planning to be their stepmother, that's why you were so protective of me."
"My heart is very small, it can't hold too many things. When your tiny little ball fell into my arms, I swore that the person I love most in this life can only be you. Whatever you like, I like. Whatever you protect, I will protect."
Qin Huiyin hugged Li Taohua's waist: "Thank you, mother. It feels so good to have you."
"Are you starving? I've kept the food warm in the pot, just waiting for you to come back. The food is still hot, so you can eat it right away."
Tang Dafu's voice came from outside: "The dishes are served, and the rice is ready. Taohua and the children, come out and eat!"
"Uncle Tang hasn't slept yet?"
"I didn't sleep until you guys came back, how dare he sleep?" Li Taohua said in a shrill voice, "If he doesn't even have this much common sense, I'll find you a rich father tomorrow. Even if that man is ugly or old, at least you won't have to suffer with him."
Qin Huiyin took Li Taohua out.
She said something that even Tang Yichen didn't know: "After I followed the doctor in, I took a lot of medicine from him, some for treating external injuries, some for stopping diarrhea, some for reducing fever... I also told him that if we hadn't brought such a fat sheep, he wouldn't be able to make such a big profit, so I asked him to give me a month's worth of medicine for free."
"A month's worth of free medicine means..."
"Next time we go see him, my brother's external and internal injuries should be almost healed. We'll take the medicine he prepared earlier and then see him for a follow-up visit to see if we need to revise the prescription. We'll prepare it then."
"What a clever little fellow! He's quite like your mother!" Li Taohua said proudly, "I've saved another fortune."
"Of course. Although we can make money now, we must not miss the opportunity to save money."
Tang Dafu smiled and praised Qin Huiyin: "Yinyin is really capable. Today is all thanks to you."
"The food hasn't been touched yet. Have you been waiting for us with empty stomachs?" Qin Huiyin said, "Actually, there's no need to wait. Just leave some for us."
"You and your eldest brother work hard for the family, but we don't have to do anything at home. How can we have the right to eat and drink lavishly?" Li Taohua said, "In our family, whoever makes the greatest contribution naturally has the highest status."
Tang Dafu echoed from the side: "Yes. If you don't come back, we don't have the right to eat."
