Chapter 149: Resolution

Translator: Lonelytree

The next day, both Chen and Lan Villages were notified that their people had been detained for 15 days and fined 500 RMB for fighting and inciting a brawl. In addition, every person involved in the fight had to pay Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying 200 RMB for medical expenses, injury expenses, and so on.

Chen Sanhua and Lan Hongxing instigated the brawl. They were detained on account of intentional injury. They would be prosecuted and sentenced in court!

Chen Dahua and Lan Erying, as the main culprit, were detained for crimes of intentional injury, slander, libel, and attempted murder. They would be prosecuted and sentenced in court!

The two villages were in an uproar. They were anxious, worried, angry, embarrassed, and ashamed. Most of their people were locked up. In the eyes of the public, they were criminals. This would affect their future generations. However, the most imminent impact was marriages. Good families wouldn’t mix with criminals.

This was not an issue of one or two families but two large villages. Therefore, those with children in the middle of discussing marriage were extremely angry. They had already set a date but the matchmakers suddenly sent a message saying that the other family’s children were going off to work and they would discuss this matter in the future.

“Bullshit!” They had already discussed everything. The date was even set. However, now their children were busy? But what could they do even if they were angry? They knew very well that no parents would want their children to marry a family of criminals. It would affect their children’s future greatly.

Therefore, these families went to the main culprits to vent their anger. The families who had members in prison had to face many problems. They had to endure the scolding from other villages, think of a way to get their family out of jail and deal with the compensation fees for Xiao Zhengyang. The police told them that if they didn’t want to pay, their family members would only stay longer in prison. It could be as long as half a year.

“Dad, what should we do?” A woman asked her father-in-law anxiously. “The head of the family can’t be locked up for that long.”

Her father-in-law’s face was dark. He took a puff of his cigarette and said coldly, “We’ll go to the source!”

The woman then understood what she had to do.

The next morning, the woman bought some fresh fruits and took the money to the hospital to visit Xiao Zhengyang.

“I’m sorry, Brother Xiao, Sister Xiao, my man was impulsive and did such a stupid thing. I came to apologize to you,” Zhao Xiaochun said to mother Xiao and father Xiao with guilt and sincerity, “This money is to compensate you. Please accept it.”

Mother Xiao didn’t have a good face for these people. She snorted coldly, “Just because he was impulsive, he could go around hitting people? How about I send people to hit you and apologize to you later and say it was because I was too impulsive? Will you forgive me?” At this point, Mother Xiao wiped her tears. “Your man almost killed my husband. If we came to the hospital a little later, my man would have…”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaochun said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Sister Xiao.”

“Alright, you can go!” Mother Xiao didn’t want to listen to Zhao Xiaochun anymore.

After Zhao Xiaochun left, many others came to the hospital. It was unknown whether they were sincere or not. Some of them brought over a few rotten apples on the account that they were poor. Could Mother Xiao forgive them for their poverty and let their men come home because they were poor?

Mother Xiao was so angry that her face turned red.

In the end, it was Xiao Lingyu who chased them out. She said, “Why didn’t you people think of that when you beat up my parents? Now you want to cry after you are demanded compensation?”

If they didn’t want to pay, that was fine. They would be punished. The men would be locked up for a few more days.

These people were really shameless. They were the ones in the wrong, but they somehow made it look like they were the victims.

But Xiao Lingyu wasn’t going to forgive them so easily. They injured someone, so they had to pay the medical bill. That was logical. After that, Xiao Lingyu blocked anyone from coming to disturb Father and Mother Xiao.

“Mom, Dad.” Xiao Lingye studied at school, so no one contacted him and told him what happened. He called home and wanted to ask his sister to come to pick him up when he heard they were in the county town and their father was hospitalized.

“Mom, why didn’t you tell me?” Xiao Lingye’s eyes were red. “I was kept in the dark while Mom, you were injured, Dad was hospitalized, and Sis had to handle everything on her own?”

Mother Xiao said, “Ye ‘Er, we’re fine now, aren’t we? Your dad is healing too. The most important thing now is your university entrance exam. Get into a good university, and we don’t need to worry about your anymore.”

Xiao Lingye choked. “I don’t care. The exam is not more important than Dad’s surgery and hospitalization! I needed to be there for you!”

He could not imagine how worried his mother and sister were when his father was in the operating theater. No surgery had a 100% success rate. Moreover, Father Xiao’s surgery was not considered minor surgery.

Mother Xiao gently touched his head and said, “Alright, it’s all in the past. Your father is fine, right? There’s still only one month to your exam. You don’t need to worry about us. Your sister and I are here. As for you, you need to study hard and get into a good university, understand?”

“Mom, don’t worry. I’ve studied everything. If I do well, I should get into a good university. Let me take care of my dad for the next two days. You and Sis need to rest.” Xiao Lingye said.

“No!” Xiao Lingyu refused. “Xiao Lingye, your most important task now is to study hard. I will take care of Mom and Dad.”

Xiao Lingye couldn’t resist since his sister was so insistent. In the end, he sighed, “Okay. But I’ll move to the hospital for the next two days. You two need to go home in the day, and then you can come to take over at night.” He was concerned about his mother and sister, and their inability to take a good rest. If he was at the hospital in the morning, at least his sister and mother could go home to rest.

“Alright!” Xiao Lingyu and her mother agreed.

Once Xiao Lingye found out his parents were injured, it meant that his three roommates found out too. Once they found out, it meant Gu Ziye and his friends knew that as well.

Therefore, over the next two days, many people came to visit Mother Xiao and Father Xiao. However, most of them were handsome and imposing men. The patients in the same ward looked at this procession strangely.

When the Xiao Family wasn’t around, they started to gossip.

“It looks like the girl in this family is a real player. Look at the way those men were dressed. They should be rich!”

“The girl danced around so many men without feeling ashamed. She was able to chat and laugh with them at the same time.”

“I couldn’t believe someone could be so shameless. I feel sad for her parents for bringing up such a slutty daughter.” The tone was sour with hints of envy.

The men looked rich. Any of them could bring a woman up in the world.

…

Xiao Lingyu helped Father Xiao walk around the hospital.

It had been three to four days since the operation. His wound was healing, and the body was recovering well. In addition, Xiao Lingyu would use the spring water to clean Father Xiao’s body. She also mixed the spring water with the hospital water for them to drink.

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao recovered so quickly that the hospital was surprised. They did some examination, and their conclusion was both Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were hard workers, so their hale physique allowed them to heal quickly.

After three days, Father Xiao was discharged. He would come back one week later for a check-up. Xiao Lingyu drove her parents home. Yan Siming had already returned to City Z.

He went back the day after Father Xiao was hospitalized. After all, he was in charge of a large company. He couldn’t stay away for too long.

In addition, his secretary kept calling him to go back.

Seeing Yan Siming leave, Mother Xiao and Father Xiao both heaved a sigh of relief.

Ever since Father Xiao and Mother Xiao found out that Yan Siming was the man who had helped Xiao Lingyu, their hearts were tense. They couldn’t help but be wary around him.

This made Yan Siming a little speechless. ‘Am I that scary? Besides, I’ve already told Xiao Lingyu that I was only joking when I said I wanted her to be my woman. So why are they still so defensive around me?’

Well, that was because Xiao Lingyu didn’t have the time to explain that to her parents. First, her parents were beaten up, and then, her father was hospitalized. She was too busy to remember this detail.

On their way home, Mother Xiao finally found the chance to ask Xiao Lingyu about Yan Siming. For example, why did he suddenly come to find Xiao Lingyu? Was it to ask her to be his mistress and so on. Mother Xiao warned Xiao Lingyu that if she really became the man’s mistress, she would disown her.

Xiao Lingyu was a little speechless, so she told her the purpose of Yan Siming’s visit. She told her that Yan Siming was only joking about the mistress thing. She wouldn’t contact him anymore. Even if they had contact, they would be ordinary friends.

Mother Xiao was suspicious. “Did he really come here this time because he knew that Chen Dahua and his wife would come to cause trouble?” Mother Xiao felt that it was strange.

“Yes.” Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Mom, don’t think so much. Yan Siming has already gone back. I won’t return to City Z in the future, so I won’t see him again.”

“Okay then.”
