Chapter 82

“I’ve only offended her recently!”

Mao Goudan still insisted it was Qin Su. Qin Su’s gaze swept over Tang Wan, who was not far away.

For her daughter, she said with a stiff smile, “Comrade Goudan, I really don’t have any money.

We can’t even afford to eat. If you want money, you should ask someone else.”

Her words revealed Mao Goudan’s thoughts. Everyone suddenly understood.

He was probably after the money and tickets of the newcomers.

Brigade Leader Mao’s face darkened. He said to Mao Goudan’s mother with a stern face,

“I think you should take him to the clinic. Don’t let his leg get worse.”

Thinking about how Mao Goudan’s mother was unreasonable, Brigade Leader Mao even felt that he couldn’t take responsibility for this.

“No, if they don’t give me money, where will I get it!”

Mao Goudan glared fiercely at Qin Su. He sat down on the ground and started crying.

“Oh, heavens! I’m so unlucky. Why am I being bullied like this?”

“Brigade Leader, what about my Goudan if you don’t stand up for me?”

“That damn bitch! She’s been flirting around the village because she’s pretty.”

“…”

Her performance was so dramatic that it shocked Tang Wan and the people in the cowshed. Tang Wan couldn’t stand it anymore.

She couldn’t help but say loudly, “Brigade Leader, I think this is a mess. Why don’t you call the police?”

She wasn’t a member of the brigade, so everyone looked at her with curiosity.

Xinghua quickly explained, “She’s my distant sister. She’s a military wife in the family compound nearby.”

Everyone knew that there was a military compound nearby. They all looked at Tang Wan with envy.

Brigade Leader Mao didn’t dare to ignore Tang Wan, but he didn’t dare to report it either.

“No, we can’t call the police!”

Goudan’s mother knew what kind of person her son was. If they called the police, it would be a disaster.

Tang Wan raised her eyebrows in confusion. “Why can’t you call the police? Since you think you’re innocent, let the police come and investigate the matter.

Then, those who have grievances can get revenge, and those who have grudges can get justice. You won’t wrong the innocent, and you won’t protect any bad people.”

She spoke with righteous indignation. She knew that Mao Goudan didn’t have the guts.

Brigade Leader Mao was a little tempted, but he was still hesitant.

After all, having a bad person in the brigade would affect their selection as an advanced brigade.

But he couldn’t say that out loud. He could only say hesitantly, “We’re all from the same brigade.

Goudan, don’t you want to avoid making things so embarrassing?”

“Of course I don’t. As long as you pay up, everything is fine.”

Mao Goudan’s resentful gaze fell on Qin Su and Tang Shi. Qin Su tightly clenched her fingers, afraid of revealing her hatred.

Tang Shi also had anger in his heart. He took a deep breath. “I think this comrade is right.

Comrade Goudan keeps suspecting my wife. I think we should let the police come and prove her innocence.”

Although the people in the cowshed were of lower status, it didn’t mean they didn’t have human rights.

So they could scare Mao Goudan.

Sure enough, Mao Goudan panicked. “Mom, my leg hurts so badly. Why don’t we go to the clinic first?”

If he couldn’t win openly, he would do it secretly. Once his leg was healed, he would still be able to deal with those people in the cowshed.

Hearing this, Mao Goudan’s mother wasn’t happy. “We don’t have any money.”

“Mom!”

Mao Goudan looked fierce. Mao Goudan’s mother was startled. She said quickly,

“Okay, let’s go see a doctor first. If anything happens, they’ll have to pay!”

Thinking this, she grumbled and called her relatives to carry Mao Goudan away.

The commotion dispersed. The villagers discussed among themselves, “What exactly happened?”

“He must have offended someone he shouldn’t have.”

“Serves him right. Let’s see if he dares to harass my wife again.”

“…”

The people in the cowshed didn’t dare to say anything. They silently returned to the cowshed and went to work with their tools.

Because of Tang Shi’s leg injury, Brigade Leader Mao temporarily allowed him to take a day off.

Tang Wan found an excuse to separate from Xinghua. After everyone went to work, she quietly went back to the cowshed.

The environment in the cowshed wasn’t very good. Tang Wan gently knocked on the door, and Tang Shi opened it.

“Wanyuan, let’s talk outside.”

He had already guessed that Tang Wan would come back to find him. They walked to a secluded corner at the foot of the mountain.

“Your mom has gone to work.”

Tang Shi walked normally. Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn’t help but ask,

“Dad, what happened to your leg?”

“It’s fake.”

Tang Shi raised his chin proudly. “I haven’t forgotten what your grandpa taught me.

Faking a leg injury is easy.”

He then explained it briefly, and Tang Wan suddenly understood. After he finished explaining, he urged Tang Wan to leave.

“Wanyuan, you should go back to the family compound. Dad can handle things here.”

He didn’t want his daughter to get involved in these dirty matters.

“Okay. Take care of yourself and Mom.”

Tang Wan didn’t insist this time. Anyway, her dad didn’t know where she went after she left the brigade.

She left some money and tickets and left Mao Zhuang Brigade from a small path.

From afar, she saw Mao Goudan’s mother borrowing an ox cart and taking Mao Goudan to the clinic.

She rolled her eyes and went to the clinic to wait.

This clinic wasn’t the military hospital where Xia Qing worked. There weren’t many people coming and going.

So Tang Wan didn’t go in at first. Before entering the city, she had gone into her space and changed her makeup.

Everything was ready. Finally, she saw Mao Goudan being pushed into the clinic.

Tang Wan didn’t rush. She went into her space and fiddled around for a while.

About an hour later, Goudan’s mother came out of the clinic, grumbling.

“This clinic is just a money-making machine. You spend so much money, and the leg might not even heal.”

The person who accompanied them was probably a relative. He snorted disdainfully, but he still tried to comfort Goudan’s mother.

When they went to get hot water, Tang Wan went to ask the nurse at the desk, “Excuse me, which ward is Comrade Mao Goudan in?”

“Who are you to him?”

The young nurse looked at Tang Wan with suspicion. Tang Wan blushed. “I’m his girlfriend.”

She deliberately made herself look like a woman in her thirties or forties. She looked simple and honest. The nurse believed her and pointed to a place.

“It’s right there. His leg may not heal. Don’t stimulate him.”

“Okay.”

Tang Wan put on a sad face. She carried a can of yellow peaches and walked towards Mao Goudan’s ward.

This is just what I needed!

There was only Mao Goudan in the ward. The other patients hadn’t come back yet.

He was lying in bed in pain. When he saw Tang Wan, he looked confused.

“Who are you looking for?”

His tone wasn’t good. It was understandable. He couldn’t be in a good mood after what happened.

“I’m the person your family introduced to you as your girlfriend.”

Tang Wan smiled and sat down. She opened the can of yellow peaches. “What happened to you? Eat something.”

She had put something important in the can. It was enough to make him suffer.

Mao Goudan saw that Tang Wan had a pockmarked face. He felt a little disgusted but still took the can from her and started eating.

“Who introduced you?”
