44: 44 Old Su has an accident

Liu An was invited by Wu Changfu to the police station for a talk.

Not far away, Shui Ge touched his chest, exclaiming how close it had been.

“Thank you, Second Young Master Wu, for intervening.” As Liu An and the others disappeared, Su Xiaofeng felt much more at ease and smiled lightly, thanking Ershun.

“You’ve got quite the nerve to invoke our Wu Family like that,” Ershun squinted his eyes and scoffed coldly.

He had known since yesterday that this woman was no easy mark, yet he hadn’t expected to encounter such a scene today—broad daylight where she brazenly used the Wu Family’s name.

“How come Second Young Master Wu is here?” Su Xiaofeng quickly changed the subject in response to Ershun’s question.

“He came to find me,” Ye Cheng said with a smile.

“I just got back and ran into him here.

I had planned to stroll around this area, but didn’t expect to bump into you all.”

Ershun looked at Ye Cheng with a bizarre expression.

True, he had come to find him, but he had no intention of getting involved in this woman’s affairs—it was Ye Cheng who had insistently dragged him over to take a look.

“With so many people trying to bully a weak woman like me, I used the Wu family’s name in a moment of desperation.

I hope Second Young Master Wu won’t take offense.” She had used the Wu Family’s name, and it had just so happened that he caught her in the act—was it good luck or bad luck?

“Stop calling me Second Young Master Wu; it sounds so awkward.” Ershun extended his hand.

“Let’s make a formal introduction, my name is Wu Ershun.”

Su Xiaofeng also extended her hand: “Su Xiaofeng.”

“You were about to go to my place, let’s go,” Ye Cheng glanced at their joined hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and reminded Ershun.

“Right, I need to visit Dr.

Ye’s grandfather.” As long as there was a sliver of hope, he would go check for his elder brother.

After saying goodbye to Ye Cheng and Wu Ershun, Su Xiaofeng went to pick up a tricycle at the bicycle shop; indeed, the craftsman’s skills were commendable, as the adjustments were quite good.

Just as Su Xiaofeng arrived home, Su Facai from the village hurriedly ran towards their house: “Fatty, fatty, your Old Limp has had an accident, you better go check on him.”

He Ximei was about to feed the pigs after preparing their feed, but when she heard Su Facai’s voice from the kitchen, she rushed out, not even caring about the remnants of pig feed on her hands: “Facai, what happened to Old Limp?”

“You better go check it out; he was buried under the earthwork,” Su Facai said with a grave expression.

Five miles away, there was a rare-earth mine being illegally mined by a private owner.

Both he and Old Limp worked there as casual laborers.

Today, a section of earth on the mountain suddenly collapsed, and Old Limp was standing right at the edge, directly getting buried beneath it.

Upon hearing this, He Ximei panicked and immediately ran.

Su Xiaofeng, standing at the doorway, heard Uncle Facai’s words, her eyelids twitching, and she stopped He Ximei.

“Auntie, let’s take the tricycle.”

Seeing Su Peng pedaling the tricycle, He Ximei did not care where it came from and directly sat at the back, with one of them on each side, heading to the site of Old Limp’s accident.

The site of the accident was on a mountain next to Li Family Village, five miles away.

The mountain, pockmarked with pits from mining, had no trees in sight, only heaps of earth dug up from the mountain.

The base of the mountain was currently surrounded by people.

“Mr.

Huang, Old Limp from Lihua Village is buried underneath,” one of the supervisors reported to a boss named Huang.

“Hurry up and rescue people, and see if there’s anyone else alive.

Was he the only one buried?” Mr.

Huang spoke with a foreign accent and when hearing about the accident, his face showed no surprise, as if such occurrences were all too common.

“Yes, he was responsible for hauling the soil away, when suddenly the earth nearby collapsed, and he was trapped underneath.”

“Old Guai, Old Guai.” As soon as He Ximei reached the foot of the mountain, she jumped off the tricycle, sobbing loudly as she ran up the mountain.

“He’s been dug out, he’s been dug out!” someone shouted.

“Old Guai, Old Guai.” He Ximei rushed to Su Laoguai, saw his body covered in blood, with multiple wounds bleeding profusely, and wailed, “Old Guai, you can’t die, what will I do if you die?”

Su Laoguai lifted his eyelids, saw Xiaofeng squatting beside him looking at him, raised his head trying to speak, but he was too exhausted and just wanted to sleep well.

“Dad, you have to hang in there.” Seeing that he was about to pass out, Su Xiaofeng quickly spoke to keep him alert, “We’ll go to the hospital right now, you must hang in there.”

He Ximei also realized the situation and yelled, “Right, a doctor, please, where is the person in charge here, are they all dead, call a doctor!”

“He’s injured like this, going to the hospital is useless.” Mr.

Huang, with his briefcase, stood in front of He Ximei, “Besides, moving him now will definitely finish him off, you’d better say whatever you have quickly.”

“No, he won’t die.

Please, save him.” Upon hearing Mr.

Huang’s words, He Ximei almost fainted.

“Saving him is possible, we will cover thirty thousand yuan in medical fees, but as to whether he survives, we can’t guarantee that.” Mr.

Huang spoke indifferently, as if discussing a business deal, “Of course, if he dies now, your family can directly receive thirty thousand yuan as compensation, so decide whether to save him or not on your own.”

Su Xiaofeng, listening to the cold, indifferent pricetag from the other side, stood up coldly, glanced at them, then looked back at her father, Su Laoguai, lying lifeless on the ground.

Su Laoguai was bleeding profusely from many wounds, and without immediate hemostasis and bandaging, he would definitely bleed to death.

With a rip, Su Xiaofeng tore off Su Peng’s clothes to bandage Su Laoguai.

“What is she doing?” The foreman asked the workers nearby.

“She is bandaging her dad.” It was obvious.

“Is she a doctor?” The foreman was curious.

“No, she’s not a doctor.” Su Xiaofeng had been quite notorious in the nearby villages.

Even if someone didn’t know her before, her presence here today made it clear that this was Su Laoguai’s scandalous daughter, famous for becoming pregnant before marriage.

“You’re not a doctor, why are you messing with him?” Upon hearing that she wasn’t a doctor, the foreman immediately intervened, “If you end up killing him, we won’t be responsible.”

Non-doctors daring to bandage a patient, who would be responsible if something went wrong.

“Let her do it.

If he dies, we’ll just pay the compensation,” Mr.

Huang said nonchalantly, “If she ends up killing him herself, it’s her own fault.”

Su Xiaofeng quickly finished bandaging Su Laoguai.

Hearing Mr.

Huang’s inhumane remarks, she sneered, “Aunt, brother, keep an eye on my dad, don’t let anyone approach him.

If anything happens to my dad, no one will be let off easily.”

As she spoke, she stuffed the Small Flower Bag into Su Peng’s hands and instructed him to guard Su Laoguai, before quickly heading down the mountain.

She remembered that Ye Cheng lived in the nearby Shanghe Village.

Mr.

Huang was right about one thing, her father’s current condition really wasn’t suitable for moving, so a doctor had to be brought up to the mountain.

Su Xiaofeng ran straight to Shanghe Village, relying on her memory.

An old man was slaughtering a fish by the river, humming a tune and seemingly enjoying the task.

“Grandpa,” Su Xiaofeng, out of breath, stood in front of the old man, “Could you tell me how to get to Dr.

Ye’s house?”
