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

Seeing this, Su Banxia didn't dare to delay and rushed over to check. She saw that the person screaming was none other than Uncle Niu's son, Tie Niu. Su Banxia immediately pushed through the crowd to check Tie Niu's injuries.

Tie Niu's leg was injured, and blood was gushing out from his trouser leg. Su Banxia shouted to Su Shiyan:

"Brother, bring two planks of wood and some cloth!"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan dared not delay and hurriedly went to find what Su Banxia wanted.

Su Banxia then examined other parts of Tie Niu's body and asked with concern:

"Besides your right leg injury, is there any other pain elsewhere?"

Tie Niu blushed and shook his head at Su Banxia, ​​saying:

"It's this right leg that hurts."

Su Banxia took Tie Niu's pulse again and, seeing that everything else was fine, she was finally relieved.

"Your right leg is probably broken. Don't move it for now. I'll bandage it for you and go to the city to get you some medicine. You'll be fine after resting at home for a while."

Tie Niu gritted his teeth and nodded, enduring the pain. He didn't want to show any pain in front of Su Banxia, ​​as that would make him seem petty. Su Banxia had already made him blush when she checked his injuries, so he naturally had to put on a brave face now.

Su Shiyan quickly brought over the wooden board and strips of cloth. Su Banxia took the items and said:

"Brother, you go with everyone to check all the things in our house first, see if anything is loose or damaged. I'll take care of Tie Niu myself."

Su Shiyan glanced at Tie Niu with concern, then nodded in agreement.

While everyone was distracted, Su Banxia used her consciousness to retrieve well water from her spatial storage to clean Tie Niu's wounds. After the wounds were cleaned...

Su Banxia dug up a few more purslane berries, chopped them up, and applied them directly to Tie Niu's wound. Then she bandaged the wound with strips of cloth and used a wooden board to immobilize Tie Niu's right leg.

Then he stood up and said:

"Tie Niu, I've reinforced your injured leg so your fracture can heal faster. I'll have Er Zhu Zi and I take you home in a bit, so I can talk to Uncle Niu about how to take care of you in the future."

Tie Niu looked at his calf, which Su Banxia had bandaged, and immediately blushed, whispering:

"Banxia, ​​thank you."

Su Banxia waved her hand.

"Tie Niu, you got injured while working at my house. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. Just stay home and recover."

Tie Niu nodded gratefully upon hearing this.

Su Banxia called over Erzhuzi and said:

“Erzhuzi, you’re strong. You carry Tie Niu on your back, and we’ll take Tie Niu home.”

Erzhuzi hurriedly bent down to carry Tie Niu on his back, just as he heard Su Shiyan shout:

"Big sister, wait a minute, come and take a look at the ladder that Tie Niu used just now."

Su Banxia walked over and looked at the spot Su Shiyan was pointing to. She immediately frowned. The ladder was made of mortise and tenon joints and should not have fallen apart easily. However, the second step of the ladder was missing a wooden dowel, which must be the reason why the ladder had fallen down today.

Su Banxia nodded and said:

"Brother, I understand. Keep this ladder safe and don't let the workers use it. I'll take Tie Niu home first. You and Mom and Dad keep an eye on things here and make sure everyone is careful."

Su Shiyan nodded in agreement.

Su Banxia and Erzhuzi escorted Tie Niu home. On the way, Su Banxia asked:

"Erzhuzi, were you on watch last night?"

Erzhuzi hurriedly spoke up:

"Yes, I was on night watch yesterday."

"Did you see any suspicious people loitering around Dwarf Mountain at night?"

Erzhuzi pondered for a moment, then spoke:

“No one usually goes to that area of ​​Dwarf Mountain. Yesterday evening, only Su Feng came here.”

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia's alarm bells immediately went off.

"Su Feng, what's he doing here?"

"So, Su Feng said he was feeling frustrated because he was blind, so he took some wine and wandered over to Dwarf Mountain to drink and cheer himself up. Then, he insisted on dragging me to drink with him."

As Erzhuzi spoke, he looked up at Su Banxia's expression, swallowed hard, and continued;

"Since we're all from the same village, I figured he wouldn't have any bad intentions, so I didn't feel comfortable refusing him..."

Su Banxia glared helplessly at Erzhuzi.

"So, you went drinking with him?"

"Um... I drank some... and then, I fell asleep, and I don't know anything after that..."

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia gritted her teeth and said:

“You silly Zhuzi, how could you drink with Su Feng? Haven’t you heard the rumors that I blinded Su Feng? Although I didn’t do it, Su Feng is always a stubborn and vindictive person who won’t listen to advice.”

As she spoke, Su Banxia sighed.

"It must be that Su Feng deliberately brought alcohol to get you drunk last night, and then tampered with the ladder, which is why Tie Niu suffered such an injury today."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Erzhuzi's face stiffened, and he said guiltily:

"I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect Su Feng to be so bad."

As he spoke, Erzhuzi shouted to the iron ox on his back:

"Tie Niu, it's my fault, Er Zhu Zi. I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I should have been the one who got hurt today!"

Tie Niu sighed helplessly.

"What's done is done, so don't blame yourself. Just be careful around Su Feng from now on; he's always been a troublesome person."

As they spoke, the three arrived at Uncle Niu's house, just as Uncle Niu was preparing to drive his oxcart out to pick up customers.

When Uncle Niu saw that his son had been carried back by Erzhuzi, with so much blood on his legs, he immediately panicked.

"Oh dear, my son, what happened to you? You were fine when you went out this morning, how did you end up like this?"

Su Banxia sighed and said to Uncle Niu:

"Uncle Niu, let's go inside and talk."

Seeing that Su Banxia was also there, Uncle Niu nodded and made way for her at the doorway. Erzhuzi carried Tie Niu into the house, carefully helped him lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then knelt down before Uncle Niu.

"Uncle Niu, it's all my fault. I didn't watch the yard properly, and that kid Su Feng tampered with the ladder, which caused Tie Niu to fall down."

Uncle Niu was startled by the sight and quickly went to help Erzhuzi up, saying:

“What’s done is done, there’s no point in saying anything now. Get up first. We’re all from the same village, Tie Niu won’t blame you.”

Seeing that Uncle Niu and Tie Niu were both so understanding, Su Banxia stepped forward and said:

"Erzhuzi, get up first. Since you feel guilty towards Tie Niu, you can come to Uncle Niu's yard to help with some chores while Tie Niu is recovering. That way, you can also help Tie Niu."
