Chapter 22: Supporting

Wang Jingrong committed Jiang Li’s greatest taboo.

Bullying others by flaunting power, favoring the high and suppressing the low, being arrogant and domineering—Jiang Li could tolerate these things. At most, she would slap him when he couldn’t find his way, to wake him up.

But Wang Jingrong ruthlessly attacked women and children. Jiang Li saw clearly that he wanted the lives of Hua Niangzi and her daughter, and this she absolutely could not tolerate.

If Wang Jingrong could treat Hua Niangzi and her daughter like this today, he would treat her the same way in the future.

She couldn’t let this kind of person have an easy time.

But murder was against the law, and Jiang Li didn’t know who else was behind Wang Jingrong.

In the current situation where the situation was unclear, the best way was to support someone to control this kind of villain.

Jiang Li set her sights on Hua Shun.

So what if he was seriously ill and probably wouldn’t live much longer?

It didn’t matter; she was best at snatching people from the King of Hell.

After hearing her plan, Doukou couldn’t help but pour cold water on her: “Sister, have you forgotten that you said you wanted to keep a low profile and that preserving your life was the most important thing? If you save Hua Shun, can you ignore Wangye?”

Jiang Li said that it was indeed a problem.

If she cured Ping Wang, wouldn’t she be trapped?

If Ping Wang died, she would be buried with him; if Ping Wang got better, she would accompany him. In short, she was a jinx.

The most ideal situation was for Ping Wang to maintain the status quo, and for her to find a chance to run away.

If she saved Hua Shun, would Jian Lai force her to treat Ping Wang?

“…Alas, you don’t understand the sadness of people like us,” Jiang Li said pretentiously. “Talent is like pregnancy; after a long time, it can’t be hidden at all.”

Doukou couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at her self-absorbed sister.

Sister was always able to find joy in suffering.

“This is what I think: if they let me go, I’ll go; I’ll just say I can’t cure him. Are they going to chop off my head?” Jiang Li said. “But I’m actually quite curious, where exactly is Wangye injured…”

“Sister, stop, don’t be curious.”

Doukou felt that the current state of being under the same roof but not seeing each other was very good.

Without seeing each other, Ping Wang was not a real person to them.

His life and death had nothing to do with them.

But once they met and talked, it would be easy to develop ties.

“I’m just saying, let’s stabilize Hua Shun first, let him stand up, and help us fight against Wang Jingrong.”

Moreover, Hua Shun was responsible for the repairs in the residence and was very familiar with the terrain.

Jiang Li never forgot her grand escape plan, and this might be an important part of it.

“Let’s go, we’ll go take a look now,” Jiang Li said, acting as soon as she spoke.

When she returned, she could write a prescription and have Yuan San help her get the medicine back tomorrow, without having to spend money to find someone.

Yuan San and Yu Shi would probably be much more relieved knowing that she could also treat illnesses and save people here.

So, from all perspectives, she should save Hua Shun.

Jiang Li left with Doukou and Gardenia.

Mosheng was squatting in the yard doing laundry for Ping Wang. When he saw Jiang Li and greeted her, his expression was a little fearful again.

Jiang Li: She scared the honest child.

“Niangniang, are you going out?” Mosheng glanced at the quiet Gardenia and asked courageously.

If you’re going out to fight, don’t bring Gardenia.

Don’t bring anyone, it will affect your performance and easily injure your own people.

When Jiang Li fought, she was like a desperate woman, and the people around her were like grass being cut, falling to the ground one after another.

“Yes, going out for a walk, not fighting,” Jiang Li said, suppressing a smile as she looked at him. “Going out to care for a sick person.”

Mosheng looked overly frightened.

He spontaneously interpreted it as Jiang Li hitting someone and then going to sprinkle salt on their wounds.

Can’t afford to provoke, really can’t afford to provoke!

This is too fierce.

In Mosheng’s eyes, Jiang Li = fierce, has become a deeply rooted impression, even though they have only known each other for less than three days.

Jiang Li went out and quickly found the residence of the Hua family of three in the Wang residence based on her memory.

The Hua family was shrouded in gloom.

Hua Shun was so weak that he couldn’t speak. He turned his head and looked at his wife lying on the ground, covered in injuries and unable to get up, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

“Medicine, Dad, I’ve decocted the medicine,” Peanut came in with the medicine, her eyes red and swollen.

Just now, she cried for the injured Hua Niangzi, but was slapped in the face by Hua Niangzi.

“Let you meddle, let you meddle…”

Peanut cried loudly, “Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong!”

Hua Niangzi also cried loudly.

She knew that the child had done nothing wrong.

In order to find money to treat Hua Shun, the two of them wished they could dig through rat holes.

If it weren’t for getting money for treatment, why would Peanut have run errands, and how would Wang Jingrong have caught her?

Wang Jingrong had been wanting to kill their family for more than just a day or two.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After crying, Hua Niangzi still said that she was fine and told her daughter to decoct medicine for her husband.

Although those medicines had no effect at all, there was still some hope in taking them.

He was the pillar of support for the two of them, their only hope.

Peanut came in with the medicine, but Hua Shun refused to take it.

He opened his eyes halfway and said, “Don’t waste money on me anymore, I’m not going to make it. Wife, listen to me, after I die, there’s no need for a coffin, just wrap me in a broken straw mat, and someone will carry me out and bury me.”

Hua Niangzi cried loudly on the ground, “You’re saying these words to tear my heart out! If anything happens to you, I won’t live either!”

“For Peanut’s sake, you have to live well. You’re young, find someone else, find an honest one… Peanut is growing up, protect her well…” Tears flowed from the corners of Hua Shun’s eyes again.

Wasn’t he talking nonsense?

Hua Niangzi, as a woman, had to rely on a man to survive.

This place was not like the outside world; there was no way to support herself.

If she relied on a man, wouldn’t she have to listen to everything he said?

Peanut’s future destiny was no longer something Hua Niangzi could decide.

Peanut cried loudly, “Dad, Mom, if you’re gone, I won’t live either!”

When Jiang Li arrived, this was the scene she saw.

Hua Shun was crying in bed, Hua Niangzi was crying on the ground, and Peanut was crying on the table.

Seeing her come in, Hua Niangzi was stunned.

After a long while, she struggled to get up, “Princess!”

The Princess was really not an ordinary person.

“Don’t move, you may have injured your bones too,” Jiang Li said. “I heard that you have a sick person at home, and I happen to know a little medicine, so I came to see if I could help.”

The Princess also knew medicine?

So amazing, a woman who could instantly knock down a group of men was indeed good at everything.

Hua Niangzi grabbed onto Jiang Li’s ankle like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, begging, “Princess, please have mercy and point out a way for our unlucky family, who can’t survive, to live!”

“Alright, I’ll go see your husband first.”

Hua Niangzi was frightened by Jiang Li’s serious voice and quickly let go of her hand, “Yes, yes, yes, Princess, please.”
