Chapter 938 - 938 How Inauspicious!
938 How Inauspicious!
Just as the two of them were teasing each other, Li Gui rushed in from outside with her basket. She did not even stop to pick up the vegetables which had fallen out of the basket. She just went straight to the water bottle on the table and drank two big glasses of water.
“Drink slowly! Why are you in such a hurry? Did you get chased by a dog? Where were you?” Qiao Mei asked Li Gui curiously.
Today was really a weird day. First, Xia He returned dejectedly, and now, Li Gui was all panicky. Could it be that today was a special day? It seemed that everyone’s luck was not very good.
“I I passed by Old Madam Fan’s house on my way back from buying groceries. I heard them chatting at the door, saying that Su Yang had beaten up Zhou Shuang and Sun Juan and caused them to be sent to the hospital. These two names sound familiar and I thought they might be people who worked for you. I was so frightened that I ran all the way back,” Li Gui said agitatedly.
“What! Sent to the hospital! That’s very serious!” Xia He said in shock.
For a period of time, they had not argued with Old Madam Fan’s family. They did not even see anyone from Old Madam Fan’s family and thought that these people had turned over a new leaf. They did not expect these people to get into a fight with the other neighbors. It was really a little shocking.
Old Madam Fan’s family could really cause endless trouble. The police station had already become a permanent hangout for them.
“Do you know anything else? Like what triggered the whole issue?” Qiao Mei asked with a frown.
Li Gui could not remember clearly what the people at the door had said at that time. She only roughly knew what happened. At that time, she was so scared that she would encounter Old Madam Fan’s family members again and knew that she would definitely lose if a fight broke out, so she did not dare to stay there for too long. If they wanted to know the details, she still had to go around to ask the neighbors in the vicinity.
Qiao Mei pondered for a long time. She did not know whether she should interfere in this matter. In the end, after considering it for a long time, she decided not to get involved. If she had immense authority in her own hands, she would definitely think of a way to help. However, if she wanted to help them now, she would have to ask Xia Wen to take action. She had caused Xia Wen enough trouble during this period of time.
“Elder sister, when you’re free, go and give each of them 50 dollars. Tell them to take it as a token from us. Don’t talk about anything else,” Qiao Mei said as she took out 100 dollars from her pocket and handed it to Xia He.
Xia He took the money and went out to find out more about this matter. Li Gui rested for a bit and then went to the backyard to start making popcorn.
After Su Yang left home, he did not go straight to the clinic where Qiao Yu was staying. He traveled for a distance of two kilometers and then entered a clinic to seek treatment after confirming that he was far away from home.
Sun Juan had bitten down very hard. The deeper parts of the wound needed simple stitches. This was the first time the doctor had seen such a serious bite.
Su Yang glared at the doctor and said, “Don’t be a busybody and just do your job!”
The doctor closed his mouth awkwardly. After quickly bandaging the wound, he took payment and “invited” Su Yang out. He did not check the almanac before he opened for business today. It was really inauspicious to encounter such a patient! After Su Yang left, the doctor even disinfected the entire room, acting as if something dirty had entered and stained the place.
Su Yang endured the pain he was feeling in his hand and returned to the area near his house. Based on his memory, he found his way to the house where the salvager lived. There, he readily rented the room next to the salvager. Although this place was old and dilapidated, it was still livable. He would ask Qiao Yu to make do with it for now.
At this moment, Qiao Yu was enjoying her last few moments at the clinic. If she could, she would want to stay here for a while longer. However, the nurses and doctors could not wait for Qiao Yu to leave. Even the older woman in the other bed could not stand Qiao Yu anymore.
When Su Yang was not around, Qiao Yu seemed to change into a different person. She went from being a delicate and pitiful young lady to a pampered young woman who ordered the nurses around. She even asked the nurses to do something as simple as pouring a glass of water. If the nurses did not want to do it, Qiao Yu would use her headache or chest pain as an excuse.
As time passed, everyone could tell what kind of person Qiao Yu was. The older woman who chatted with Qiao Yu in the early days also started to ignore her.
Qiao Yu did not care about this at all. As long as she could enjoy life, she was willing to do anything.
