Chu Yi knew what she was looking at and comforted her, "Uncle will be fine. That rabble won't dare to do anything."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Erniu appeared at the door.

Chen Wenfang happily went to greet him, "Husband, you're back! Are you alright?"

Wang Erniu immediately smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Chen Wenfang walked over and took his hand, and the two entered the door hand in hand.

Ren Mu and Yu Long watched from afar, and Ren Mu said enviously, "General Wang and his wife have such a good relationship!"

Yu Long: "Isn't that right? With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

Chu Yi glanced sideways and said, "What's there to envy? I'll ask my godmother to find you capable wives in the future. We have plenty of capable wives like my godmother in our workshop."

Yu Long quickly bowed, unusually lively, "Then I'll have to trouble you from now on, little brother Chu Yi."

"Go away, go away, with your looks, you'll never lack wives, really!" Chu Yi rolled her eyes at him and stepped aside.

Ren Mu could only smile bitterly to himself, thinking that he was lucky to be alive in his condition.

Of all things, eating is the most important; we start eating as soon as everyone is present.

Yu's mother had prepared the meal early in the morning, and now it was on the table. Everyone ate and chatted.

Chen Xuanyu ate and talked on and on, quickly getting to the bottom of things.

Everyone sighed.

Chen Wenfang thought to herself, "Ren Mu is such an unlucky kid. He's been hiding for months, and he just happened to run into Ren Mu when he finally went out. It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet."

At fifteen, he asked nervously, "Godmother, shouldn't I have shot him first?"

Before Chen Wenfang could speak, Wang Erniu looked at him seriously and said, "No, you're not wrong. In that situation, if you hadn't taken action, you and the rest of you might have died there."

“But Uncle Fang…” Fifteen said guiltily.

“We should thank Uncle Fang for protecting you, but it wasn’t your fault, so don’t blame yourself,” Wang Erniu said again.

"Yes, good boy, it's not your fault." Chen Wenfang patted his head. "You did a great job. You protected your brother and your brothers."

Fifteen blushed slightly at the tips of her ears before she felt relieved.

"After we finish eating, we're going to visit your Uncle Fang. You guys stay home and practice your calligraphy!" Chen Wenfang said.

"Mother, I want to go too! Uncle Fang was injured protecting us, we should go." Chen Xuanyu stood up and insisted, perhaps because he didn't want to write.

“Yes, we should go,” Xiao Hao said, “I don’t want to write either.”

"Then I want to go too!" "Me too!" Shiwu and Yuyu both expressed their opinions.

Seeing this, Yu's mother objected, "You've finally come back safely, so don't go out."

Wang Erniu said, "Forget it, let them go. He's right. Old Fang is their savior. They deserve to be visited, let alone taken care of."

"Fine, let's go together!" Chen Wenfang thought he made sense.

After the meal, two horse-drawn carriages were driven to take them to see Old Fang.

Ren Mu wanted to go with him, but his health wouldn't allow it, so Yu Long stayed with him at the mansion.

The carriage was halfway there when it encountered soldiers who had returned with news.

"Greetings, General. Some members of the Canal Gang have surrounded Anlefang. Commandant Wang has ordered me to go to the barracks to gather more men."

"First day of the month, you go with him!" Wang Erniu ripped off his token, his face darkening. "Go! Gather eight hundred men, let's see what that gang of thugs is up to!"

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!" Chu Yi spurred his horse and rode off with him.

The carriage traveled swiftly and soon arrived at Anlefang.

Anlefang was located in the north of the city. It consisted of several courtyards and was mostly frequented by poor people seeking medical treatment. Wealthy families rarely set foot there. It was also close to the street where the canal gang had brought many wounded but not dead people there. As soon as they met, they started arguing, and the argument escalated into a fight. Since the place was close to the river, a firecracker went off and suddenly hundreds of people arrived, surrounding Anlefang.

When Wang Erniu and his men arrived at the place, they saw a dark mass of people in black uniforms. The area outside Anlefang was full of thugs from the Canal Gang, all wearing white cloth strips on their arms.

Upon seeing the officers and soldiers, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Wang Erniu only brought three or four personal guards this time. Although the number was a bit insufficient, he might not necessarily lose if a real fight broke out.

He calmly stepped down from the carriage, and considerately helped Chen Wenfang off the carriage, and then waited for the children. Everything was so normal, as if these men in black did not exist.

This time, the canal gang brought people over, led by their third leader, Cheng Xiang, who was dark-skinned with a thick beard and looked extremely fierce.

He was originally sitting in the brothel, facing off against Wang Feng. When his underlings announced his arrival, he wanted to come out and see what was going on, but then he thought that if he came out to see what was going on as soon as someone arrived, he might be too impatient, so he forced himself to hold back.

So Wang Erniu and his men casually entered the neighborhood in front of a group of canal gang members.

The gang members at the entrance watched them come in. Since the people in front didn't stop them, and they couldn't very well stop them, they immediately stepped aside, as if they were automatically welcoming guests.

Wang Erniu left most of his men outside and took only a few of his personal guards inside.

Upon seeing him enter, Wang Feng immediately stood up and said, "General!"

"How are you?" Wang Erniu didn't even glance at those people, and went straight to Lao Fang. He had been stripped naked, with a piece of cloth covering his private parts. Except for his face, he was basically covered up, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

Wang Feng shook his head. "The doctor said it's very difficult. Unless he wakes up tonight, there's no hope."

Wang Erniu sighed and sat down beside her. Chen Wenfang felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but shed tears.

The other children were the same; they didn't even glance at them, calmly and silently sitting aside, heartbroken.

Scholars can bear it, what can't bear it.

"Hey! I'm right here, aren't you going to say hello?" Cheng Xiang stood up, his voice booming, echoing even in the small Anlefang.

Wang Erniu didn't want to pay attention to him, lest he lose points.

Wang Feng was about to make a sarcastic remark, but then remembered something and stopped talking. The next moment, a female doctor dressed in cotton and linen with a headscarf rushed out.

"What's all the noise about? If you want to make a scene, go outside!" the female doctor shouted angrily, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

Cheng Xiang, a tall and burly man, trembled slightly, looking somewhat angry and about to say something. His expression twitched, but he held back, pointing at Wang Feng and saying in a low voice, "Go outside and say it if you dare!"

Wang Feng raised an eyebrow, dismounted, and declared, "Fine, I'll go!"

Several people went outside together and were arguing loudly about something!

Looking at Lao Fang's expression, Wang Erniu sighed again. "He was talking about finding a companion? Life is truly unpredictable."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A fight broke out outside.

Wang Erniu got up and went outside. For some reason, Wang Feng was provoked by Cheng Xiang and started fighting. A group of people around them cheered and watched the show.

Wang Erniu was tall, and seeing from a distance that he hadn't suffered any loss, he ignored him.

Inside the ward, Chen Wenfang was pulling the female doctor aside to ask if Old Fang could be moved to her residence, as there were too many people here and she was very worried.
