I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

When Su Shiyan rushed over, he saw Cuihua sitting on the ground, looking at the bushes with a terrified expression. Seeing Su Shiyan, she turned and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

With a terrified, tearful voice, she said:

"My foot! My foot has been bitten by a snake! Brother Shi Yan, please help me!"

Su Shiyan felt awkward being held by Cuihua like this and wanted to break free from her embrace, but Cuihua was too strong. Su Shiyan was too embarrassed to struggle, after all, Cuihua was very frightened and really needed comforting.

So Su Shiyan gently comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, my younger sister knows some medical skills. I'll take you back now and let her take a look at you."

As she spoke, Su Shiyan broke free from Cuihua's hand, helped him up, and asked with concern:

"Can you still walk with that foot?"

With red eyes, Cuihua looked at Su Shiyan with a wronged expression and shook her head.

"I feel like I can't walk anymore. I feel so much pain that I can't even stand up straight. I'm so sorry, Shi Yan. I've delayed things for you. I shouldn't have insisted on coming out. I'm so stupid. I can't do anything right."

Seeing this, Su Shiyan had no choice but to pick Cuihua up in his arms.

"Cuihua, please be careful and support me. I have no other choice but to carry you back."

Seeing this, Cuihua quickly leaned against Su Shiyan, burying her head deep into his chest, and said softly:

"Thank you, Brother Shiyan. I'm the one who dragged you down."

Su Shiyan shook his head.

"There's no need to thank me. It's all what I should do. It was my fault for not taking good care of her. Lotus will definitely scold me when you get back."

As he spoke, Su Shiyan turned back and called out to Su Hanzhang again.

“Dad, Cuihua was bitten by a snake. I’ll take him back for treatment first. You can continue cutting bamboo here. I’ll come back and help you move bamboo when I’m done.”

Upon hearing that Cuihua had been bitten by a snake, Su Hanzhang became somewhat anxious and immediately waved his hand, saying:

"Alright, you don't need to worry about me here. You should hurry up and take Cuihua back so as not to delay things."

Without saying a word, Su Shiyan picked up Cuihua and ran towards home. Fortunately, they hadn't gone far, and they were back home in no time. When he kicked open the courtyard gate, Lianhua and Su Banxia were drying things in the yard.

Seeing Su Shiyan carrying Cuihua back like this, Lianhua's expression stiffened.

Seeing this, Cuihua quickly explained:

"Sister, don't blame my brother-in-law. It's my fault for being useless. I was bitten by a poisonous snake as soon as I went out, and I can't walk right now. My brother-in-law has to carry me back."

Lianhua, who had been feeling a little uneasy, didn't dare ask any more questions when she heard that Cuihua had been bitten by a snake. She immediately rushed forward to check Cuihua's wound.

"Oh dear, why weren't you more careful? It's all your brother-in-law's fault for not taking good care of you. Quickly thank him and carry Cuihua back inside. We'll also find a doctor to examine Cuihua. This matter can't be delayed."

Upon hearing that Cuihua had been bitten by a snake, Su Banxia had already turned around and gone back upstairs to get her medicine box.

Su Shiyan hurriedly said to Lianhua:

"You don't know this, do you? My younger sister knows some medical skills. Let my younger sister take a look at Cuihua's leg first. If she can't treat it, then we can go and call a doctor."

Lotus was somewhat shocked by Su Shiyan's words.

"What? Banxia knows medicine? I didn't know that. Banxia is really amazing. We must let Banxia give Cuihua a good check-up."

As they were talking, Su Banxia had already taken her first-aid kit and come downstairs.

"Brother, first put Cuihua on the bed and let her lie flat. I'll check the wound and disinfect it."

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan quickly nodded, picked up Cuihua, and carried her back to her room. He then carefully laid Cuihua down on the bed. Cuihua seemed somewhat reluctant to let go of Su Shiyan's neck and lay down on the bed.

Su Banxia glanced at Cuihua, then walked to the bedside, lifted Cuihua's trouser leg, and carefully examined the wounds on her other feet.

"You saw it for yourself, what a venomous tongue it was!"

Cuihua shook her head.

"Just now I only felt a pain in my foot, and when I looked down, the snake was nowhere to be seen. I didn't even get a good look at what kind of snake it was."

Su Banxia frowned, then reached out to feel Cuihua's pulse.

"I don't think there's any poison in your body. After all, there are no signs of poisoning in the wound."

Su Banxia didn't think too much about it. First, she took out medicine to disinfect Cuihua's wound, then applied some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs to her face before asking:

"Besides the pain from your wound, are you feeling anything else right now?"

Cuihua pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't feel anything else, just a little pain in the wound on my foot, nothing else."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a snake bite. If it were, you would be dizzy and disoriented by now. I've applied some medicine for you. Lie down and rest. Don't think about it too much."

After saying that, Su Banxia beckoned Lianhua and Su Shiyan to leave the house.

“Brother and sister-in-law, you don’t need to worry. He’s fine and just needs a day of rest. The wound has already died, so it’s nothing serious. It wasn’t a poisonous snake bite. At this point, there aren’t many poisonous snakes in the mountains. It was probably a small green snake. If you don’t actively attack these snakes, they won’t bite you.”

After saying this, Su Banxia looked at Su Shiyan.

"Brother, you should stay away from Cuihua in the future. You should know that there is a difference between men and women. How come you can't even walk after being bitten by the snake Qingqing and you have to carry her back?"

Su Shiyan scratched his head helplessly, glancing guiltily at Lianhua.

"I was afraid that Lianhua would blame me for not taking good care of her sister. Besides, Cuihua was in so much pain that she couldn't walk or even stand properly, so I had no choice but to carry her back. I thought that if she had really been bitten by a poisonous snake, it would be a matter of life and death, so I rushed back to ask you for help."

Lotus sighed.

"This isn't what you wanted to happen, so why would I blame you for no reason? It's all Cuihua's fault for insisting on going out with you. She's not a child anymore, so this definitely can't be blamed on you. Don't worry."

Su Shiyan nodded.

"Lotus, as long as you don't blame me, I'll feel at ease. Dad is still cutting bamboo there. I need to go with him to bring the bamboo back. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Su Shiyan turned and ran out.

Seeing this, Su Banxia shook her head helplessly, turned to look at the lotus flower, and asked:

"Sister-in-law, what kind of person do you think your younger sister, Cuihua, is?"

When Lianhua saw Su Banxia asking her this question, she thought for a moment and then said:

“Cuihua is a good girl. I grew up with her since I was a child. Our families were in similar circumstances, and we could be said to have depended on each other. I think she is sincere towards me.”
