Transmigrated as a Stepmother: Time to Bring the Family to Prosper!-Chapter 355 - 354: Outrageous

Si Niang, frightened afterward, said, "Later, big brother stabbed several of them. They saw that he was too fierce and couldn’t catch us, so they left..."

Second Lang, with a grown-up expression, added, "Mother, when they left, they said to come back and tell you and dad that in the future, be careful when buying land. Don’t mess with just anyone’s things. This time, it’s just a small lesson for us. If we’re sensible, we should spit out what doesn’t belong to us; otherwise, they’ll cut off your and dad’s hands and feet!"

The emotions already vented, Sanlang had long stopped crying. He listened to his second brother’s words and worriedly asked Qin Yao:

"Mother, did we take other people’s things? What if they really cut off your and dad’s hands and feet? I don’t want Mother to be without hands and feet..."

Qin Yao patted Sanlang’s little head, "Don’t listen to their nonsense!"

Jinbao looked up in shock, seeing their aunt, who usually wouldn’t allow them to use foul language, actually say a bad word herself!

Ah Wang hadn’t returned from his search yet, but through the children’s words, Qin Yao had already figured out the cause of the trouble—it was the new farmland they had bought that had brought about this disaster.

These bastards actually bullied the children. They’re truly courting death!

"Let’s go, head home first." Qin Yao motioned for Da Lang to step back, instructed the younger ones to look after Liu Fei, and whistled to Old Huang, who, being perceptive, immediately followed behind the cart.

In the dark, it was hard to see the road with only one torch, its light covering only a limited area. But even with just this bit of light, Da Lang and his siblings no longer felt scared and even felt inspired to talk about how brave they just were in fighting against the bad guys.

Jinbao, thinking about Ah Wang, asked worriedly, "Aunt, aren’t we going to wait for Uncle Ah Wang to come back?"

Qin Yao turned back and smiled faintly, "It’s okay, he’ll come back on his own."

Jinbao curiously asked, "Where did Uncle Ah Wang go?"

Of course, Qin Yao couldn’t say she sent him to investigate the situation, so she thought for a moment and said, "He went to town to find a doctor for you."

Immediately, Jinbao felt his elbow start to hurt again. Although there was no blood, he had been pushed onto the gravel ground, and his elbow was definitely skinned.

Jinbao didn’t dare look and just covered his arm loosely, thinking how quickly they should get home because everything would be better there.

Second Lang had a leg injury too, but compared to Da Lang, the little guy stopped making noise, and his mouth was uncharacteristically quiet, all while closely observing his little uncle’s condition and reporting to Qin Yao: "Little uncle seemed to move, little uncle is waking up, Mother! Little uncle is awake!"

The last sentence was shouted very loudly, and Qin Yao turned her head to see Liu Fei clutching his head, trying to sit up. She immediately ordered, "Lie down, don’t move!"

Liu Fei instinctively obeyed the command and lay back down, painfully holding his head and looking bewildered at the dirty-faced kids before him.

Because when he arrived, he was knocked out with a sack over his head, he had no idea what had happened. Weakly, he asked, "Jinbao, what happened to me?"

Jinbao answered, "Little uncle, we were beaten. It was Da Lang who saved you."

Liu Fei was startled, a vague memory surged forth, accompanied by rising anger, causing his head to hurt even more, and he inhaled sharply with a hiss.

At this moment, the sound of hooves came from behind. Soon, Ah Wang appeared, riding a horse and carrying someone with him.

He had actually brought the town’s doctor, who lay cursing on the horse. Anyone suddenly abducted at this hour by a stranger barging into their home would react this way.

Qin Yao looked at Ah Wang, frowning slightly—this was too reckless.

But right now, calming the frightened doctor was more important.

Qin Yao signaled for Ah Wang to lift the doctor onto the cart, making the crowded cart even more cramped. However, the doctor’s sharpness allowed him to immediately notice the injured on the cart and realize he was there to treat them, not to be killed, leading him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Qin Yao apologized, "Sorry to scare you, but rest assured, we won’t let you come here in vain."

She then handed over one tael of silver. The doctor’s complaints died in his throat as he sighed, pocketing the silver, and had Si Niang bring the torch closer as he began to examine Liu Fei, thus accepting the task.

Liu Family Village quickly arrived. As Qin Yao drove the cart into the village, a voice excitedly called out from the roadside, "Wife!"

Looking over, Qin Yao saw it was Liu Ji and Liu Bai, the brothers.

It turned out that just after Qin Yao and Ah Wang left, Liu Ji had crawled out of bed, enduring his muscle soreness, and ran to the old house.

Everyone at the old house was also waiting for Liu Fei and Jinbao’s return. After waiting a long time without result, Liu Bai was about to go out to ask Liu Ji when the brothers ran into each other at the doorstep.

Upon learning that Qin Yao and Ah Wang had already set off to look for them, Liu Bai wanted to drive the ox-cart and catch up, but Liu Ji stopped him.

Liu Ji already felt that something was wrong, but since Qin Yao and Ah Wang had gone, he chose to trust them and held back the anxious Liu Bai, saying:

"Big brother, you couldn’t catch up now anyway. We need someone at home. If something really happens, Ah Wang will come back to inform us so we can be prepared. Let’s wait. My wife is there."

Indeed, Liu Bai found comfort in Liu Ji’s words, "My wife is there," and calmed down. The two then waited at the village entrance.

As everyone returned, the brothers were just about to sigh with relief when Liu Ji suddenly noticed the smell of blood and asked nervously, "Who’s injured?"

The pain all over his body seemed to vanish as he ran up to the cart, immediately seeing Da Lang’s bandaged hand illuminated by torchlight, causing him to stop breathing for a moment, "How did this happen? What happened?"

These words were directed at Qin Yao, who looked down at him briefly, gesturing for him and Liu Bai to get on the horse, saying they would discuss it at home.

Ah Wang grabbed Liu Ji and placed him in front, spurred the horse forward, and rushed forth.

Liu Bai, who had already learned to ride a horse, felt a bit uneasy about Old Huang’s large frame, but now it was a secondary worry—they needed to get home quickly. After assuring Jinbao, he mounted Old Huang and galloped protectively toward the old house following the cart.

Old Liu and the others inside had already heard the commotion. When Qin Yao and the group arrived, everyone at the old house was waiting at the door. Seeing the cart full of fainted and injured people, they were startled.

"Mother!" Jinbao called out pitifully from the cart, and He quickly rushed forward to embrace him, checking him over, "What happened? How did you end up like this?"

"Let’s discuss it inside." Qin Yao waved and instructed them to open the door.

Ah Wang carried the dizzy Liu Fei, and Liu Bai and Liu Zhong hurried inside, guiding him to Liu Fei’s room.

The old doctor followed closely, and Mrs. Zhang, upon seeing her son still unconscious, immediately followed, with Old Liu and Mrs. Qiu stepping forward to check on Da Lang and the others. Upon hearing Qin Yao say they were fine, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ji took the four children down from the cart, led them to the courtyard, and examined them one by one. The more he looked, the tighter his brows knitted together. He had never treated the children this way, and yet someone else had? Unreasonable!

Liu Ji angrily said, "Who the hell did this shit? Ah Wang, find out for me, and I’ll beat the hell out of them!"
