Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Cultivating Value_1
“Mom, we’re so pitiful, why does aunt have to snatch our food, why does she hit us, it hurts so much, wuwuwu, so pitiful.”
“So pitiful, wuwuwu, don’t snatch, wuwuwu.” Si Lang usually acts like a little shadow, following his brothers around, mimicking whatever they do, especially when he heard aunt was going to snatch their food. He sat on the ground crying just like San Lang, a truly heartbreaking sight, as eating was what Si Lang loved most.
Lin Yue watched San Lang and Si Lang with concealed joy. She really had raised several good sons, thought Lin Yue. Even at a critical moment, the two younger ones performed no worse than their brothers, showing great potential for the future.

“All of you shut up, stop crying, can’t you see how injured your mother is? Don’t add to the chaos.” At this moment, Zhao Erhu’s attention was entirely on Lin Yue, to the extent that he could not even bother with Zhao Lan, the root cause of all this trouble. Irritated by the noise of San Lang and Si Lang’s crying, he scolded them, then carefully picked up Lin Yue and took her back to the room to settle her on the bed.
“Niuniu, how are you feeling, is your head hurting badly? Don’t be afraid, I’ve already sent Qiangzi to fetch the doctor. If you’re feeling uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me,” said Zhao Erhu. Initially, he had wanted to take Lin Yue into the city to see a doctor, but since Lin Yue had injured her head and bled so much, he feared the journey would worsen her condition. Thus, he had sent Wu Qiang to urgently request the doctor from the city, and even gave him two hundred coins so he could hire a horse carriage for a quicker return.
“I’m okay, just a little dizzy. What about aunt? What are the village leaders planning to do about this incident? It was one thing when aunt took our grain, but this time we can’t just suffer in silence; I definitely won’t accept that.”
At this point, Lin Yue was more concerned about how the village chief would deal with Zhao Lan than her own head wound. She had patiently waited for this opportunity to resolve the issue with Zhao Lan once and for all, and she could not let it slip away. Worried that Zhao Erhu might let Zhao Lan off too easily, Lin Yue preemptively asserted her stance to Zhao Erhu.
“Don’t worry, if aunt dares to harm you, even if you don’t say anything, I won’t let her off the hook easily. Right now the village chief and the others are outside, and third uncle has also come over; they will definitely see to it that justice is served. The most important thing now is for you to rest well. Don’t worry about anything else for now, okay? Be good and just lie down.”
Seeing a doctor would take time, but the wound could not be neglected. At that moment, some neighbors had kindly brought in hot water to help. Zhao Erhu gently cleaned Lin Yue’s wound and applied the medicine he always kept on hand for hunting injuries, performing first aid.
Zhang Chunhua had initially been outside attending to the village chief and third uncle on behalf of Zhao Erhu. She came in and said, “Erhu, the village chief and third uncle are still waiting outside to discuss how to deal with your aunt. Why don’t you go check on them? I can take care of Xiaoyue here.”
“No need, I’m feeling much better now, and my head isn’t so dizzy anymore. Brother Erhu, I want to go with you and hear what the village chief and third uncle have to say?” Even though Lin Yue was feeling somewhat groggy, the mention of dealing with aunt made it impossible for her to rest calmly—she immediately tried to sit up to join Zhao Erhu, but he held her down.
“What are you trying to prove at a time like this? Can’t you think about the injury on your head, intent on making me worry about you? Haven’t I already promised to handle everything? Don’t you trust me?” Zhao Erhu was truly angry that Lin Yue wasn’t taking better care of herself.
