The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Song Shunzi then noticed the "female ghost" lying on the ground.

"Mother, is this Cui Hehua?"

How did it get like this?

"That's right, the Wang family has done something terrible. They're like iceboxes. Shunzi's wife, quick, get the quilt. Shunzi, go heat the kang."

The village chief also arrived, wearing a thin coat; it was still a bit chilly at night.

"What are you doing so late at night?"

The village chief's wife pointed at the person on the kang (a heated brick bed), "Look, Hehua has been tormented by the Wang family, and she's come to you for help."

I rely on!

When the village chief took a closer look, it was pitch black and terrifying; it looked exactly like a female ghost.

"Nonsense, utter nonsense! How come Old Wang is doing absolutely nothing right now! Shunzi, Shunzi!"

"He went to heat the kang (a heated brick bed). His wife went to start the fire."

"Here I am! Dad, what's wrong now?" Song Shunzi had a lot of unspoken troubles. It was the middle of the night, and he was still busy as a mule.

"Go find a doctor, I think something's wrong with Hehua!"

The village chief's wife nodded. She also felt that he had no warmth at all, was covered in injuries, and had not yet woken up.

What if she dies in her house?

"Oh, right, have your brother go to the Wang family and call all the Wang family members over here. Let them see what they've done!"

Why should he clean up their messes in the middle of the night while they sleep soundly under the covers? Does he owe them something?

"Know it!"

Song Shunzi resigned herself to her fate and went out to work.

When the doctor arrived, he glanced at Cui Hehua's injuries and felt a chill run down his spine. How much hatred must one have to inflict such a severe beating? Clearly, it was a man who had hit her. Last time, it was said that her father-in-law had beaten her; could it be that Boss Wang had done it this time?

Oh my god, Boss Wang looks so honest, how come he's so ruthless!

"Doctor, how is it?"

"The injury is quite serious, not just external wounds, but definitely internal injuries as well."

"Yes, yes, I just changed her clothes, and her stomach was covered in fist marks."

The village chief is furious!

Are they trying to kill someone?!

"I'll stay here tonight. I reckon he'll get a fever; it's a bit dangerous."

The village chief wanted to curse, "Can it be moved?"

He wanted to send the person back to the Wang or Cui family first, even though neither of them were reliable. But what would that mean if they were in their homes?

He's still lying on the kang (heated brick bed) with his daughter and granddaughter. Where do they sleep?

Damn, the village chief said he was furious and irritable.

Not long after the doctor's diagnosis, the Wang family arrived. They never dreamed that the little brat would actually escape to the village chief's house.

They assumed that at worst she would run back to her parents' home to complain. Cui Daniu would never cause trouble for them because of her. He saw that Boss Wang was guilty, and besides, he knew that if he got a little money, he wouldn't care about his daughter's life or death.

"Village Chief, I'm so sorry, some unpleasant things at home bothered you in the middle of the night. It was just a quarrel between the young couple, and Defa couldn't help but hit them a few times. It's nothing, nothing at all. I'll take them home right away so as not to disturb your rest!"

The village chief looked at Old Master Wang, who was blatantly lying, and then at Old Master Wang, who stood next to him with an honest-looking face, and felt a headache coming on.

"Grandpa, look at this young couple, how did they end up beating each other half to death during their quarrel? The doctor said that Cui is in critical condition, she can't be moved now, and she also has internal injuries."

Old Master Wang's eyes widened. Was he hit that hard? His eldest grandson wasn't bedridden and unable to move; he was a scholar, weak and injured, how could he have hurt someone like this? The Wang family wouldn't take the blame for this.

"Is the injury really that serious?"

Before the village chief could even speak, the doctor preemptively replied, "It is indeed very serious. Otherwise, why would I be staying here? I have to stay here all night, and I probably won't make it tomorrow either."

Grandpa Wang was horrified, and Wang the eldest and Song were also extremely shocked. No, how could it be so serious? Wasn't he able to walk to the woodshed by himself after being beaten, and even go to the village chief's house to complain in the middle of the night?

"Was it dark when you came to the village chief's house and you fell?"

"No, I've seen her injuries; she was definitely beaten. Besides, it's one thing to be dressed too lightly, but in this kind of weather, being soaked to the bone—who could stand that?"

No, her clothes weren't wet!

The Wang family is now in a difficult position; no matter what they say, no one believes them. And indeed, even if it were them, they wouldn't believe it, even with the injured person right in front of them.

Old Master Wang's face darkened; they had been tricked by that little slut. She had caught them off guard and set them up; they wondered what wicked scheme she was plotting this time. They all thought she would at most go back to her parents' home, but that wouldn't do any good. Instead, she did the opposite and went to the village chief's house to complain.

This involves human life; the village chief won't ignore her.

High, really high!
