“Piss off, Su Jin Biao is my son, how can I not understand him? If no one had urged him on, he would not slander anyone even if he was beaten to death! Bai Yu Lan, listen to me and keep Su Hong well under control from now on. Do not allow her to be disgraceful again, lest she be expelled from the army!”
Su Jiang Tao had never been so furious before. This time, he was truly angry with Su Hong.
For the sake of her own selfishness, she had completely disregarded family relations. Ultimately, Su Jin Long was her cousin and came from the same root left by her grandfather.
He felt even more guilty towards Su Jiang Hai and his family.
If today’s affairs had been tied to Su Jin Long, no matter how good his physical fitness was, he would not even be able to think about joining the army.
What frightened him even more was Su Hong who had urged Bai Yu Lan to go to the Wei family to propose marriage. She had actually given Bai Yu Lan the idea to secretly agree to allocating the Wei family another 5 mu of land every year under his name!
Who gave her the nerve to trade away nationally owned land? She had made him lose all face!
How could he keep his head up in front of the villagers from now on?
If it had not been for Wei Zhen Hui divulging the matter to him, either intentionally or unintentionally, he would still have been kept in the dark.
The crowd dispersed and walked off with Su Mian leaving last.
She knew that after what had happened today, the feud between her and Su Hong and her mother was permanently entrenched. Su Hong would definitely have marked this down in her notebook.
However, she did not regret this. In order to protect Su Jin Long, she had to teach them a lesson.
It also served to make Su Jin Long understand that not everyone deserved his sincere treatment.
Su Jin Long followed closely behind Su Mian. The person he admired the most now was Su Mian and there was no need to ask why.
His sister was amazing!
With just a few people’s footprints in the mud, his sister had solved this case. Not only did she catch the real culprit, she had also cleared him from suspicion.
As soon as Su Mian turned a corner in the west part of the village, she saw Wei Min looking around.
Seeing her, her eyes lit up immediately and she waved vigorously at her, “Su Mian, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. They said you went to investigate a case. Li Ya Jun passed out. You should go and have a look.”
Li Ya Jun fainted? How was this possible?
He had already straightened out his thoughts the other day, promising her that he would take his medicine on time and take care of his health. He should have been mostly recovered these days.
Su Mian did not have time to ponder this and ran into the Li family’s house with Wei Min.
Father Li was sitting on the door threshold with a frown, smoking a cigarette. When he saw Su Mian coming in, he hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette and stood up, “Su Mian, quickly take a look at Li Ya Jun. Just what is wrong with him? He was fine for the last two days. Today, he drank his medicine then fainted.”
“Wait!” Mother Li heard voices and lifted up the door curtain and came out of the room. She passed by Su Mian and blocked the entrance to Li Ya Jun’s room, putting her arms against the doorframe threateningly, “Who told her to come? She will kill my son! Ya Jun fainted after drinking her medicine this morning!”
She would never let Su Mian see Li Ya Jun today.
Zhang Jie had been right. Her daughter-in-law only looked pretty, but was not good at anything else. She was at the bottom of the class and now was pretending to be a doctor and tricking patients everywhere.
She had just ran off with a bunch of old men just now to investigate a case! Was this something that a sensible girl who was about to get married would do?
“Aunt Li, what are you doing? Su Mian is here to treat the class president!” Wei Min wanted to push away Mother Li’s arm from the doorframe and let Su Mian go inside.
She had not expected her to be so strong and Mother Li simply blocked the doorway with her whole body. Her tone worsened, “Wei Min, take her away quickly. We only have this one son in our family. If we let her look at him again, he will lose his life!”
Su Mian knew that something had gone wrong. Li Ya Jun was her patient and she needed to be responsible until the end, “Aunt Li, let me see Li Ya Jun. I am thinking about what went wrong. If you do not let me in, how can I find out the reason?”
Su Mian was very confident in the prescription she had given but without seeing Li Ya Jun, she would not be able to find the reason.
“That’s right, Aunt Li. Su Mian will go and have a look. She will prescribe medicine. Look, she did not even bring her medicine box!” It would be strange if she had been able to bring it when returning from that other place. Wei Min looked towards Father Li for assistance.
“Just let Su Mian in to have another look, what else can we do?” Now that this had happened, Father Li was noncommittal towards Su Mian’s medical skills, but there was no other choice.
Doctor Ma did not know traditional Chinese medicine and even if they went to town, the fastest they would get there would be tomorrow. Father Li also wanted to give Su Mian another chance.
