Just now, when she was looking at the bun, Su Niannian quickly rushed to check on the bun’s condition.
The bun was only injured and had become inflamed. It hadn’t received timely treatment. If it had been left for a while longer, a simple anti-inflammatory injection, some anti-inflammatory medication, or acupuncture to detoxify, along with a bit of traditional Chinese medicine, would have resolved it without much issue.
Looking at it now, the situation was quite serious, but it was still something Su Niannian could treat.
However, the situation was urgent, and without a silver needle at hand, Su Niannian could only feed it some spiritual spring water for the time being.
Su Niannian took out a water bottle from her bag and began to feed the bun the spiritual spring water.
On the other side, when Widow Wu heard Xu Chengwei’s words, she seemed to fall into a frenzy.
She had already been living such a difficult life, yet this person still used such vicious words to speak of her.
It was clearly his son who had harmed his own child like this, how could he say such things?
How could he have the audacity to say this?
Widow Wu began to tremble uncontrollably, gripping the axe tightly in her hand, and rushed directly towards him.
The axe was raised high, and she charged at Xu Chengwei, ready to strike.
Xu Chengwei had already prepared. Seeing this, he kicked out swiftly.
The kick landed directly on Widow Wu’s chest.
She felt a sharp pain in her chest, and a sweet taste filled her throat as her entire body crashed heavily to the ground.
The difference in strength between the two sides was too evident.
Gu Nan had been standing beside Su Niannian the entire time, and when this scene unfolded, he wanted to intervene, but he was still a step too slow.
The axe also flew out of Widow Wu’s hand when she was kicked, but her instincts remained.
It landed perfectly, striking Xu Chengwei’s kicked leg.
Xu Chengwei let out a loud “Aah!” as he howled in pain.
He quickly pulled the axe out of his leg.
Blood immediately splattered out.
The commotion at the Xu family’s door was too loud, and hearing Xu Chengwei’s screams, his daughter-in-law and child rushed out.
When they saw the blood spraying, Xu Chengwei’s daughter-in-law immediately started crying and quickly ran to his side.
Xu Wansui stood frozen in place, staring at the blood, and then he too began crying loudly.
“I’m going to kill you!” Xu Chengwei, now completely enraged, gripped the axe tightly and charged toward Widow Wu, who had been kicked to the ground.
“Head of the household, calm down, calm down! Your leg is still bleeding!” Xu Chengwei’s daughter-in-law hugged his waist, trying to stop him from advancing.
On the ground, Widow Wu had already coughed up blood. If her own man killed Widow Wu, wouldn’t that be considered a crime?
“Quick, stop him!” Jiang Aiguo, seeing Xu Chengwei in such a state, immediately realized that the situation was getting out of control.
Right now, both of them were still alive, but if one of them died, things would really escalate.
As Jiang Aiguo spoke, a few strong young villagers stepped forward.
However, Xu Chengwei’s eyes were now bloodshot, and he still held the axe in his hand. At that moment, he looked truly terrifying.
Especially with Xu Chengwei’s imposing figure—standing at 1.8 meters tall and weighing over 90 kilograms.
Jiang Aiguo had already stepped forward to stop him, but Xu Chengwei tried to push him away. Yet, with the axe in one hand and his other hand gripped by his wife, he was momentarily restrained.
Xu Chengwei attempted to push Jiang Aiguo’s hand away, but that hand was the one holding the axe…
Seeing this, Gu Nan quickly ran forward, kicking Xu Chengwei’s wrist.
The axe flew out of his hand, landing on the ground with a loud metallic clink.
Following this, Gu Nan swiftly twisted Xu Chengwei’s arm behind his back.
“Move again, and with this blood loss, you’ll die,” Gu Nan’s voice, low and threatening, reached Xu Chengwei’s ear.
Xu Chengwei took deep, heavy breaths, slowly forcing himself to calm down.
At that moment, he could feel the bleeding from his leg, and the pain was excruciating.
He gritted his teeth, wincing in agony.
After Su Niannian finished feeding Baozi the spiritual spring water, she quickly turned her attention to checking Widow Wu’s injuries.
At this moment, Widow Wu had just fainted. After taking her pulse, Su Niannian determined that she might be suffering from internal bleeding and would need treatment at the county hospital.
As for Xu Chengwei, the rusted iron tool had been embedded in his flesh, and there was a real risk of infection.
Looking at the wound, it was deep, but it hadn’t yet reached the bone.
After explaining the situation, Jiang Aiguo immediately instructed someone to start the tractor.
They needed to take both injured people to the county hospital.
Jiang Aiguo felt a headache coming on. What had been happening in the village these past few days?
Had they bumped into something they shouldn’t have? Why was there trouble every few days?
This county hospital had been visited quite often lately, hadn’t it?
Well, it was fortunate that Su Niannian had performed some basic treatment, or things would have really gotten out of hand.
She also fed Widow Wu a couple of sips of spiritual spring water. In fact, Su Niannian felt that Widow Wu’s condition wasn’t too severe, and internal bleeding was unlikely.
However, even if Widow Wu was okay, this incident wouldn’t be so easy to clear up. Su Niannian believed that Xu Chengwei deserved the injury he had received.
Just now, Jiang Aiguo had nearly persuaded everyone, but it was Xu Chengwei’s words that had triggered Widow Wu’s anger.
As for Xu Chengwei’s injury, Su Niannian had performed basic first aid. His leg should be salvageable.
Su Niannian asked the kind aunt to send the little bun over to Gu Nan’s house. She told Gu Ningning to inform Gu’s mother to keep an eye on the bun and, if he woke up, give him some rice porridge to drink.
Since the bun had drunk some of the spiritual spring water from Su Niannian’s space, he should be fine, and there was nothing serious to worry about anymore.
After Su Niannian brought back some anti-inflammatory medicine from the hospital, the bun would definitely be fine after taking it.
Before long, Zhou Daniu came back driving the tractor again. The villagers first lifted Widow Wu onto it, then helped Xu Chengwei up.
Jiang Aiguo asked Su Niannian and Gu Nan to accompany them to the county hospital. After arriving, Widow Wu was checked by the doctors.
It was hard to say whether it was due to the Spirit Spring water, but Wu Guafu was not found to have internal bleeding after the examination.
On the other hand, Xu Chengwei’s thigh wound required stitches. However, it hadn’t reached the bone, so once the flesh healed, it shouldn’t cause any long-term issues. He would just need a longer recovery period and was advised not to walk or move around for a while.
“Where did these come from?” Gu Nan asked, clearly puzzled. He was certain that, as they had been busy, there hadn’t been any time for Su Niannian to go buy baozi.
The baozi in her hand were still warm, which only deepened his confusion.
“Smells so good. Here, have some,” Su Nian Nian said, not answering Gu Nan’s question. After all, the baozi had come from her space, and it was a bit hard to explain right now.
Gu Nan watched her for a moment. Since she clearly didn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t press the issue. He took one of the baozi and pushed the other one toward Su Niannian.
“You eat too.”
“I have more!” Su Niannian reached into her bag again and pulled out another oil paper package, still with two meat baozi inside.
At this point, Gu Nan had already gotten used to Su Niannian’s little tricks, so he just smiled and accepted the baozi without saying anything.
