Chapter 98: 98 Didn’t treat the girl roughly (first update)Master Li listened to what Ye Cheng had said, his expression changed suddenly, "Su Xiaofeng has already been here." "Yes." Ye Cheng looked around but did not see Su Xiaofeng, "She must have gone back." "That’s bad." Master Li slapped his thigh, "It must have been your sudden illness that frightened the girl." When Ye Cheng fell ill, he would turn into someone else, someone cruel and ruthless, and when he came to, he would have no recollection of what he had done. Su Xiaofeng: Master Li, are you sure those are the signs of his illness? It didn’t seem quite the same as what I’ve encountered. Ye Cheng: "..." He had no recollection at all and wasn’t aware of what had happened afterward. "You didn’t do anything to the girl, did you?" Like, throwing her out or something. Never mind, let’s search nearby. If Ye Cheng really threw the girl far away, that’d truly be terrible, especially since she’s pregnant. Ye Cheng shook his head, "What could I possibly do to her?" "Forget it, there’s no use asking you." Master Li with hands behind his back: "I’ll take a look around. If you’re alright, just go home."

Approaching Lihua Village, he saw no sign of Su Xiaofeng. The girl couldn’t really have been thrown somewhere by Acheng, could she? "Master Li." Su Xiaofeng, carrying a basket of vegetables, caught sight of him at the entrance of the village, "You... " Master Li, hearing the voice, was overjoyed; it was indeed Su Xiaofeng’s voice. He turned around happily, "Girl, are you alright?" Su Xiaofeng looked around to make sure no villagers were near, then stepped forward and whispered, "Master Li, did Ye Cheng suffer a head injury? He just fainted in front of me, I was terrified." Master Li covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "He was injured once before, did that scare you?" He examined her thoroughly; her body was intact, showing no signs of violence. Su Xiaofeng looked down, not wanting Master Li to see the unease on her face. More than being scared, she had actually molested Ye Cheng, or rather, it started with her initiating, but later it seemed not. But that’s not the point: "It’s okay now, I thought he had fainted, but then I noticed his breathing was even, and I realized he was asleep. As Ye Cheng was sleeping, I didn’t feel it was right to stay, so I returned." "Did he do anything to you?" Master Li looked at Su Xiaofeng with concern. Whether he was asleep or not wasn’t the issue, the point was whether Ye Cheng did anything to harm the girl. Su Xiaofeng shook her head, "Why would you ask that, Master Li?" "Oh, then it’s fine." Seeing Su Xiaofeng’s natural demeanor and believing she wasn’t lying: "He sometimes gets dizzy spells, but he’ll awaken on his own, and with proper rest, he’ll be fine." As long as he didn’t assault the girl, there wouldn’t be any serious trouble. "Could there be trouble?" She didn’t look very good; how to put it, she seemed as if she could have a breakdown or collapse at any moment. "No, no." Master Li waved his hand, "He’ll be fine after a sleep, I came to check because I was worried it might have scared you." Assured that Su Xiaofeng was fine, Master Li’s heart finally settled, and he hummed a tune as he headed home. Su Xiaofeng, watching Master Li’s demeanor, naturally knew Ye Cheng’s condition might not be so simple, but since Master Li didn’t mention it, it wasn’t her place to say, despite what had happened with Ye Cheng... Indeed, good deeds are hard to do, and good people are hard to be. If people found out what happened between her and Ye Cheng, what would others think of her? He Ximei returned from her mother’s home that afternoon and started nattering to Xiaofeng right away, "My sister-in-law truly won’t suffer the smallest loss. My mom just complained about her a bit, and they ended up quarreling. They’re always fighting, and every time they do, I have to go back and break it up. If I wasn’t afraid they’d seriously hurt each other, who would bother with them." Her mom’s one remark causes trouble, and her sister-in-law never spares anyone when she speaks; they squabble over nothing. Xiaofeng had seen He Yong’s wife before, and she was indeed fierce, talking like a machine gun, non-stop. He Ximei was just talking, and Xiaofeng was just casually listening. It was someone else’s family matter, and how they chose to handle it was their own business, which had nothing to do with her. It wasn’t dark yet when the Su Guisheng family came over. Old Guaizi, seeing his nephew and his family arrive, asked Xiaofeng to call over her other uncle’s family. Old Guaizi divided the red cloth and red envelopes into two portions. One piece of red cloth and one red envelope for each family. The envelopes were bulging, seeming to contain a considerable amount. But this kind of matter was nothing to be proud of, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Xiaofeng was bullied before, and she is now pregnant. I consulted a doctor who said her health is not good. If she doesn’t have this child, it will be difficult for her to conceive in the future. We didn’t want this to happen, but since it has, I as a father can’t just ignore her." Old Su was usually not one for lengthy speeches, but for Xiaofeng’s sake, some things had to be said, "No matter what others say about Xiaofeng, she is my daughter. If even I reject her, she will have no place in this home. This piece of red cloth and this red envelope are my way of explaining things to Second Uncle and Third Uncle." As he spoke, he handed the red envelopes and red cloth to the two uncles, following the village’s custom. "Big brother," Ma Donghua, who had lost two acres of paddy fields, was still resentful. Seeing her big brother’s family understanding the situation, she grabbed a handful of red seeds and began chewing, "We don’t necessarily want Xiaofeng to get married. Previously, we were afraid that not only would the villagers point at her spine, but they would also point at ours, blaming us, her uncles and aunts, for not taking good care of Xiaofeng. Since Big Brother has decided to let Xiaofeng stay at home for now, we naturally can’t say anything." As she spoke, she pulled the red envelope from Su Zongming’s hand directly into her own pocket, "Of course, given Xiaofeng’s situation, the dowry shouldn’t be too meager, or it wouldn’t sound nice if word got out." Xiaofeng, who had remained transparent throughout the conversation, didn’t want to step forward—not because she didn’t want to, but because her father had instructed her that he would handle tonight’s matters and told her not to speak up. Now, listening to Ma Donghua’s words, she smiled lightly and got up to pour a cup of tea for Ma Donghua. "To speak plainly, we don’t have much," He Ximei interjected, "Old Guaizi got a bit over a thousand from the mine, which I mostly used for these red envelopes. Sure, as the saying goes, it’s not about how much money, but the intention in the red envelope that counts, right?" Ma Donghua pursed her lips, "That’s what’s said, but..." Receiving the cold, incisive look from Su Xiaofeng, Ma Donghua didn’t complete her sentence, "We don’t care about the amount either, whatever it is, it’s all about Big Brother’s intention. If not for fear of the villagers pointing at Big Brother and us, we wouldn’t care about this money at all." Damn girl, learned how to threaten people now, hadn’t she? The bowl was already broken; who could she threaten now? Though she said this in her heart, she still held some apprehensions. Third Uncle took the money out of the red envelope, left the cash on the table, and stuffed the envelope into his pocket, "We will accept the red envelope and the red cloth. As for the money, you can take it back." Old Guaizi stood up, "Third Uncle, that really isn’t necessary." "Your family is also having a tough time now. Keep it. The thought is what counts. Later, when Xiaofeng marries into a good family, you can give Third Uncle a bigger one," Third Uncle said as he stood up, "We’ve eaten, and it’s time for us to head back." "Right, your family is in such a state," Third Aunt sighed. The foolish act foolish, the pregnant are pregnant, the injured are injured, how is this family supposed to manage? So, of course, they could not accept the money, the intention was what mattered. Ma Donghua glanced at it, a few old bills, and some tens and fives, looking to be at least six hundred or more. Big Brother really did spare no expense for such a daughter. "Oh dear," Ma Donghua mocked, "Third Uncle, I know your family isn’t lacking this small amount, but even if you want to secretly give it back to Big Brother, shouldn’t you do it privately? Doing it so openly, does that mean you want our family to return it to Big Brother too?" Once the money was in her hands, it definitely wasn’t going back. "That’s not what we meant," Third Aunt glared at Ma Donghua, "It’s just that Guaizi’s family has neither a house nor income now, it wouldn’t sit right to keep it." "Third Aunt, you’re really generous," Ma Donghua stood up, "Dad, Guisheng, since Big Brother’s intentions are clear, let’s head back." Third Aunt liked to play the good person, but she didn’t want to. It wasn’t long after they got home that she began to feel pain in her stomach, coming and going in waves. "No, Guisheng, I need to go to the outhouse," Ma Donghua said, clutching her stomach and grabbing some toilet paper as she rushed to the outhouse. After finally relieving herself thoroughly, she stood up, and the red envelope slipped out of her pocket, drifting downward.
