The peasant woman’s sharp voice was filled with resentment. “A well-fed man doesn’t know the hunger of a hungry man. It’s pointless for me to tell you my difficulties.”

Ning Yuting did not want to argue with a peasant woman.

The peasant woman thought that Ning Yuting was afraid of her and kept cursing. It made people want to sew her mouth shut.

The doctor was brought over by the shop assistant.

Ning Yuting quickly went forward. “Doctor, please check and see what happened to this girl.”

“Okay.” The doctor half-squatted down and took the pulse of the girl on the stretcher.

There were two rough men standing beside the stretcher. They had not spoken all this time. At this moment, one of them suddenly said, “Doctor, you have to be careful.”

The doctor ignored the man. He had lived in this county city for decades and was well-respected.

When Ning Yuting heard this, he looked up at the rough man. A threat? It seemed that this matter was really not as simple as it seemed!

When the onlookers saw the doctor taking the girl’s pulse, they could not help but quieten down.

Soon, the doctor finished the diagnosis. He looked up at Ning Yuting and said, “She’s indeed paralyzed, but this girl’s body has always been weak.”

At this point, the doctor sighed and shook his head. “What a pitiful child.”

Seeing the doctor like this, the peasant woman said fiercely, “What do you mean my daughter’s body is weak? She has always been in good health. Originally, she was fine. She only collapsed because she was stabbed in the back by that needle. Doctor, don’t go against your conscience just because they have money!”

The doctor was angry. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve been a doctor for decades. Everyone in this county city knows me. You don’t love your daughter, and you’re blaming others. I’ve never seen a mother like you.”

The peasant woman refused to give up and said righteously, “I don’t love her? I’ve raised her since she was young. You’re full of nonsense. How can someone like you be a doctor? You don’t have any ethics!”

The doctor had obviously never encountered such an unreasonable shrew before. He couldn’t out-talk her, so he didn’t continue to argue.

He turned to Ning Yuting and said, “This girl had a miscarriage recently. Her health is especially poor. Although she’s paralyzed, she might not have been stabbed by a needle. She might have fallen or something.”

The peasant woman roared, “What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is not married yet. How can she have a miscarriage?!”

The doctor ignored the peasant woman and continued to talk to Ning Yuting. “This girl has given birth to at least four children…”

When everyone heard this, they looked incredulous. That girl looked to be in her early twenties. Moreover, just now, her mother said that she had never been married. Now, the doctor said that she had given birth to four children…

Seeing that everyone was looking at her differently, the peasant woman’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately shouted, “He’s spouting nonsense. He’s been bribed. He’s deliberately maligning my daughter.”

The doctor was really angry and replied, “What’s there to malign?!”

The peasant woman pointed at the doctor. “You want to make things difficult for us and force us to go back, right?”

Ning Yuting’s expression was extremely ugly. His gaze swept past the girl on the stretcher and landed on the peasant woman. He said in a low voice, “Since you are not unconvinced, let’s report this matter to the authorities.”

“No!” The peasant woman shouted, her guilty look obvious. “Report to the authorities? You rich people have long bribed the authorities.”

Ning Yuting’s gaze was cold. “No one dares to bribe the county magistrate. What you just said just now can get you 20 floggings. Do you know that?”

The peasant woman was a little afraid, but she still insisted on not reporting it to the authorities. She hesitated for a while. “As long as you give me ten taels of silver, we’ll leave immediately.”

The burly man beside her stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yuting’s collar. “Are you going to pay? If not, I’ll smash your shop!”

Ning Yuting’s eyes darkened. He reached out, grabbed the burly man’s wrist, and twisted it. The burly man let go in pain. Ning Yuting raised his leg and kicked the burly man to the ground.

Another burly man held a wooden stick in his hand and hit Ning Yuting’s neck when he was not paying attention.

When Chu Qingyue saw this, she rushed towards the burly man without thinking and pushed him hard. The burly man was caught off guard and pushed to the ground.

Ning Yuting looked sideways. Was Qingyue protecting him just now? He had an indescribable feeling.

He pulled Chu Qingyue over and shielded her behind him. “Shopkeeper, go and report to the authorities. Tell them that there is a murder case here.”

“Yes, Young Master Ning.” The shopkeeper was a little afraid when he saw the scene just now. When he heard Ning Yuting’s words, he hurriedly ran away.

Seeing this, the peasant woman immediately went forward to stop the shopkeeper. If it was reported to the authorities, this matter would blow up. “Stop, you’re not allowed to go.”

How could the shopkeeper listen to her? He scurried away like a frightened rabbit.

When Chu Qingzhi returned, she took a detour to the clothes shop to see Chu Qingyue. She did not expect to see so many people surrounding the entrance of the shop.

She dismounted. “Jinghong, I’ll go take a look.”

Tang Jinghong also got off the horse. “I’ll go with you.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang followed closely behind and walked towards the shop.

Chu Qingzhi had just walked to the back of the crowd when the shopkeeper rushed out, followed by a peasant woman…

She pushed through the crowd. “Second Sister.”

When Chu Qingyue saw Chu Qingzhi, she was pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly rushed over and hugged Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, you’re finally back. I miss you so much.”

Chu Qingzhi gently patted Chu Qingyue’s back. She also missed her family very much. “What’s going on here?”

Chu Qingyue hurriedly told Chu Qingzhi the ins and outs of the matter. “Fifth Sister, not only do they want to extort money, but they also want to hit us.”

Chu Qingzhi turned to look at the troublemakers. There was nothing to say. “Let’s wait for the authorities to come.”

Chu Qingyue nodded. “Ok.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang also heard Chu Qingyue’s words. The two young men went forward and took the pulse of the girl on the stretcher.

Yuan Hongjun looked up. “She’s 20 years old this year. About 45 days ago, she had a miscarriage.”

Bao Linjiang was not to be outdone. “She has given birth to four children and had a miscarriage twice.”

Yuan Hongjun added, “She was first pregnant at the age of 15.”

Bao Linjiang continued, “On her first childbirth, she almost died from difficult labor.”

Yuan Hongjun raised his eyebrows. The young man’s handsome face was filled with confidence. “She was stabbed by something sharp on the back, causing her lower body to be paralyzed.”

Bao Linjiang smiled with a hint of provocation. “With acupuncture and medicine, there’s a 60% chance of treating her.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang turned the girl over together. Then, they took off their bags and opened them.

Bao Linjiang carefully took out a pair of gloves made of very soft material. Only then did he begin to perform the acupuncture.

The onlookers fell silent again and watched the two young men compete in medicine.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the two young men and raised her eyebrows.. Did they not like each other so much?
