Chapter 92: Stubbornly Trying to Trick Someone

“Educated Youth Su, why are you suddenly saying this?” Jiang Aiguo asked, confused.

Su Niannian already knew about the Widow Wu’s family situation and understood how pitiful the widow’s condition was, so why would she say something like this?

Although Jiang Aiguo had only met Su Niannian a few times, he felt that this young girl had quite a good character.

There must be some consideration behind her words, right?

“She’s speaking the truth!! It’s exactly like that!” Xu Chengwei didn’t care about much else. Since she was speaking on his behalf, he had no reason to refute it.

“Right, but there’s still a premise to it—it’s if the Widow Wu is causing you trouble without reason. If there’s a legitimate reason, then you will have to bear the consequences of it all.”

“Ultimately, who hurt Baozi? Once Baozi wakes up, he will naturally tell the truth. If it really was your son, Xu Wansui, who did it, then you will have to bear the full responsibility,” Su Niannian crossed her arms, her lips curving into an attractive smile.

Earlier, when she had been chatting with the Widow Wu, she had heard the widow say that before Baozi fell unconscious, he clearly stated that it was Xu Wansui who had injured him. Even the little treasure had tried to intervene.

At that time, Xu Wansui had said that Baozi’s family was poor and had no father to speak of, so what was there to be afraid of? That was why he had struck so harshly.

So, Su Niannian now had the confidence to argue with Xu Chengwei.

When Xu Chengwei’s wife heard Su Niannian’s words, she tried to tug at his sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

But, because she already knew what had really happened, she hesitated for a moment after reaching out her hand, recalling what Xu Chengwei had just said about wanting to hit her.

“What nonsense are you talking about? My son isn’t the kind of child who hits or bully’s others!”

“It must have been the village chief’s little treasure who did it. What does it have to do with my son?”

“Even if we take a thousand steps back and say that it really was my son who hit someone, kids just play around and have little fights—what’s the big deal?”

“If Baozi couldn’t fight back against my son, is that my fault?” Xu Chengwei was being stubborn and unreasonable.

“The truth will come out once we get back to the village,” Su Niannian said, not bothered to argue any further with such a person.

By the time everyone gathered, it would be clear after a simple question.

“You’re not in any real trouble. We’re heading back to the village now. Are you coming with us?” Jiang Aiguo, seeing Xu Chengwei acting so stubborn, felt irritated.

He had often heard that Xu Chengwei would beat his wife and daughter, while spoiling his son.

His family raised pigs for the production team and occasionally went hunting in the mountains, so Xu Chengwei’s household conditions were considered quite good in Kaoshan Village.

However, he still treated his wife and daughter harshly, which made Jiang Aiguo dislike him even more.

“I’m not going back! I’ll stay here at the hospital. Let the Widow Wu pay to treat me,” Xu Chengwei shook his head, looking smug as if he had already made up his mind that the Widow Wu would foot the bill.

“Fine, but if it really was your son who injured someone first, then the medical bills for your stay here will not be paid by the Widow Wu—not a single cent. What’s more, you’ll have to cover Baozi’s and the Widow Wu’s medical expenses as well.”

Jiang Aiguo left these words behind and turned to leave, not wanting to waste another moment talking to Xu Chengwei.

Gu Nan also pulled Su Niannian away from Xu Chengwei’s hospital room.

“You two take the Widow Wu to the tractor, I have some matters to discuss with Gu Nan,” Su Niannian said to Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu, then she pulled Gu Nan to find Xu Chengwei’s doctor.

Su Niannian told the doctor that Xu Chengwei didn’t want to be discharged and was very concerned about his leg, hoping to receive the most comprehensive treatment. She asked the doctor to prescribe more medicine for him, including injections and similar treatments.

The doctor understood, as Xu Chengwei was the strong laborer in his family, and it was understandable that they wanted proper treatment. However, he also knew that this kind of treatment would likely cost quite a bit.

Su Niannian could tell what the doctor was thinking and nodded, saying seriously, “Our family has money, we just want to make sure he gets the proper treatment.”

With Su Niannian’s words, the doctor naturally didn’t object. He waved his hand and prescribed a significant amount of medicine and injections.

After Su Niannian smiled and thanked the doctor, she pulled Gu Nan and left.

Gu Nan didn’t ask many questions, fully understanding that his little miss wanted Xu Chengwei to suffer a significant financial loss and rack up medical bills.

Su Niannian then went to the pharmacy to buy some anti-inflammatory medicine before dragging Gu Nan out of the hospital building.

Outside, Jiang Aiguo and the others had been waiting.

Once Su Niannian and Gu Nan got onto the tractor, Zhou Daniu revved the engine, and everyone headed back to the village.

Meanwhile, the young nurse brought a lot of medication to Xu Chengwei and gave him another IV drip.

Xu Chengwei leaned against the pillow, thinking about how to swindle money from the widow Wu next.

However, the widow’s family had no money. Where should he start to get the most out of her?

Suddenly, he thought about the Widow Wu’s figure… and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

The Widow Wu was much more attractive than his wife, who had borne two children.

“You kept trying to drag me into something earlier. I see, you really haven’t been beaten enough in the past,” Xu Chengwei clicked his tongue, glancing at his wife who seemed uneasy standing nearby.

Seeing his wife in such a helpless state, Xu Chengwei became a bit irritated.

“Actually, Wansui said it was him who hit the person…” Xu Chengwei’s wife mumbled softly.

Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

“What?” Xu Chengwei truly didn’t hear it clearly.

“My son said it was him who hit Baozi.” Xu Chengwei’s wife repeated.

“Did my son say that? Could it be that he’s trying to take the blame for Li Baobei?” Xu Chengwei quickly asked again.

“It can’t be… My son doesn’t need to take the blame for Li Baobei. If it were really Li Baobei who did it, how would Wu Widow dare to cause such a scene?”

Hearing his wife’s words, Xu Chengwei fell into silence.

“Really, one after another, none of them are reliable,” Xu Chengwei muttered, feeling overwhelmed.

“If I stay in the hospital and end up paying for it myself, then I must be out of my mind to be in the hospital.”

“No, hurry up and leave!” Xu Chengwei still had to figure out how to handle this matter. He needed to tell Xu Wansui that he should never admit to hitting Baozi, or else Wu Widow would deceive him into taking the fall.

Just as Xu Chengwei’s wife was helping him to the door, the nurse stopped them.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I want to be discharged!”

“Oh… well, you’ll need to settle the payment and complete the discharge paperwork,” the nurse said.

“…”

“Damn it! That bastard Jiang Aiguo didn’t pay the bill for me?” Xu Chengwei raised his voice, shouting.

“Don’t shout. If you want to be discharged, you’ll need to go through the procedures and pay. By the way, even if you don’t discharge, you still need to pay,” the nurse added.

“…” Xu Chengwei was once again defeated.

He had always thought that Jiang Aiguo would at least help him cover the medical expenses.

In the end, Jiang Aiguo had just left without paying for him?

In reality, Xu Chengwei had misunderstood Jiang Aiguo. As for the earlier treatment fees, Jiang Aiguo had indeed paid them.

However, when Su Nianian arranged things before leaving, Jiang Aiguo wasn’t even aware of it, so there was no question of him covering the payment.
