Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 8 Poor little one

When the villagers saw Zhou Wangshu's appearance for the first time, they gasped.

The boy's handsome face was filled with stubbornness, grievance, sadness and other emotions. He looked so weak and helpless, as if he was about to break.

Such a seriously injured teenager is like a lamb to be slaughtered. Not to mention an adult man, even a child of a few years old could decide his life or death.

Seeing Zhou Wangshu's expression, the village head looked at Uncle Su unkindly. "This is the live-in husband your niece bought. Who are you to decide whether he stays or goes? You're even talking about selling him to a brothel. That's simply insane. How could you be so cruel to such a child who's suffered so much and was finally rescued?"

"Village head, no, this kid is lying. He stabbed me, really. I didn't fall." Uncle Su explained hurriedly, the wound was very painful.

The boy stretched out his arm and wiped the tear from the corner of his eye.

When he raised his hand, his swollen wrist was exposed.

"Uncle Village Head, look, this is the evidence that he hurt my husband." Su Yaoguang pointed at the marks on Zhou Wangshu's wrist.

Zhou Wangshu gathered his sleeves to cover his red and swollen wrists: "Don't blame uncle, I shouldn't have struggled, I shouldn't have wanted to shout for help, I shouldn't have wanted to run away."

"But I'm already Yaoguang's. Even if he wants to sell me, I should wait for Yaoguang to come back. I just can't accept that because of this troublesome face, someone wanted to sell me to a brothel. I finally escaped, but I met a trafficker again. I thought that this was the end of my life, but Yaoguang bought me. I have already made up my mind. When my injuries heal, I will do whatever Yaoguang asks me to do. She will give me all the dirty and tiring work at home. I will definitely not let her suffer any loss."

Before Su Yaoguang could say anything, a burst of crying came from the door. Su Yaoguang looked over and saw that the villagers who were watching the show were wiping their tears.

"He's lying." Uncle Su yelled, "Village head, there's something wrong with this guy. He wasn't like that just now. When he stabbed me..."

"Second uncle, stop slandering him. He can't even walk or pick up a bowl in this state, so how can he stab you?" Su Yaoguang said angrily.

"Yaoguang, am I causing you any trouble?" Zhou Wangshu raised his red and swollen eyes. "Don't sell me. I can be your slave for free."

"I won't sell you out, don't be afraid."

Su Yaoguang looked at Doctor Lin: "Uncle Lin, please bandage him again."

Doctor Lin sighed softly, "This kid's injuries are very serious. He can't be tortured any further. Otherwise, even a god won't be able to save his life."

Doctor Lin's words proved to the village head that Zhou Wangshu's physical condition was not enough to hurt anyone.

The village head didn't listen to Uncle Su's excuses anymore and directly made the decision: "Su Ershi, you intentionally injured someone. You will pay for his medical treatment and give him another 100 coins as compensation to help him recover. If something like this happens again, we will handle it according to the rules. This time, I will treat it as a mistake and only give you a warning."

"Village head, I'm injured, and he..."

"You brought this upon yourself," the village head said sternly. "Your brother joined the army to save you, and he caused these orphans and their widow to suffer. If you had any conscience, you wouldn't do such a thing as bullying your widowed sister-in-law and niece."

Su Yaoguang sobbed, "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief, for upholding justice for us."

Grandma Su and Second Aunt Su were not convinced, but the boy was so badly injured that even they began to suspect Second Uncle Su, and they had no courage to argue anymore.

Uncle Su still had a piece of metal stuck on his shoulder, and he was screaming in pain: "Doctor Lin, please help me heal my wound!"

"This young man is more seriously injured. I'll bandage him first. Take this opportunity to pay the consultation fee and the hundred coins that should be given to Yaoguang."

The village head hadn't left yet, and Uncle Su had suffered a loss of voice. No matter how much he hated it, he couldn't do anything. Even if he shouted himself hoarse today, no one would believe him.

He glared at Su Yaoguang fiercely and had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"What are you still standing there for? Take the money," said the head of the village.

Uncle Su yelled at Aunt Su, "Give it to her."

Doctor Lin said, "His consultation fee is thirty coins, and the medicine for the wound is twenty coins. You will also need bandages and medicine later, so I'll need one hundred coins."

Second Aunt Su was so angry that she stood up to get the money. The village head watched Second Aunt Su give the money to Su Yaoguang and Doctor Lin, gave them a few instructions, and then left.

Doctor Lin helped Zhou Wangshu into the room and bandaged him before coming out to bandage Uncle Su. He was not so gentle when bandaging Uncle Su, and directly used brute force to pull out the iron piece.

Uncle Su screamed: "Ah..."

After Doctor Lin pulled out the iron piece, he sprinkled some medicine on his wound.

“It hurts… It hurts so much…”

"It's normal to feel pain. Don't bully me again." Doctor Lin said with a cold face, "Otherwise, no matter how much money you give me, I won't treat your injury."

Uncle Su had no one to vent his troubles.

He didn't lie, that kid really wasn't that innocent.

However, no one would believe such words even if they were said. Everyone believed that the boy was the victim, including his mother and wife.

"It's time for you to leave." Su Yaoguang stood in the yard and drove people away.

Grandma Su put her hands on her hips and was about to curse when she heard Su Yaoguang screaming in a shrill voice: "Grandma, the head of the village hasn't even left yet, and you want to hit me?"

"You are such a money-loser." Grandma Su was very angry.

"Mom, let's go." Aunt Su pulled Grandma Su's arm. "His father is still injured, so don't make a fuss today. We can talk about it another day."

After Grandma Su and others left, Doctor Lin also said goodbye, and Su Yaoguang closed the gate of the courtyard.

Su Yaoguang returned to the woodshed.

"I'm going to cook. If you need anything, please call me."

"I lied just now." Zhou Wangshu leaned there weakly. "I was the one who put the iron plate on his shoulder."

Su Yaoguang frowned: "I guessed it. However, he was the one who provoked you first. I can understand that you were trying to protect yourself."

"It's true that he wanted to sell me to a brothel. He tried to pull me away, but I was in so much pain, I struggled, and accidentally grabbed the metal piece and stabbed myself."

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Zhou Wangshu said bitterly, "He's wrong. I'm not a murderer, and I've never done anything bad. You said you wanted me to be your husband. Is that true?"

Su Yaoguang: "..."

After experiencing an ungrateful person like Xiao Yanci, she no longer wants to choose a random husband.

"You should know my situation. My grandmother wants to marry me off to a fool, but I definitely don't want to. I bought you to silence them. Don't worry, once your injury heals, if you have somewhere to go, you can leave at any time. I won't force you to do something you don't like. If you don't have anywhere to go, we can be brother and sister."

Zhou Wangshu blushed. "What I just said is true. I have nowhere to go. If you don't mind me, I'm willing to do it."

"What do you want?"

"I'm willing to stay here and be your husband or sister."

"That..." Su Yaoguang felt a little uncomfortable. "You're still young, let's talk about it later! You have nowhere to go, so you can stay here first. I'll go cook!"
