Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Taking Brother An Back to Yang Family to Heal Wounds
A quarter of an hour later, the old doctor and the boy came out and saw Yang Chuxia waiting outside. He nodded and said, "Get some medicine with the boy, both soups and bandages. Once you have the medicine, you can go home. You have a village doctor in your village for changing the dressings; as long as there’s no fever or inflammation, it should be fine."
"Ah, alright, thank you, doctor."
After bidding farewell to the old doctor, Yang Chuxia went with the boy to get the medicine. Afterward, she rented a horse-drawn carriage in the town. A horse carriage was steadier than a bullock cart, making it less likely for Ye Zi’an’s wounds to be agitated once he lies down inside.
It was not easy to bother the boy at the medical clinic and with the help of the coachman, they managed to lift Ye Zi’an into the carriage and slowly started heading towards Yangshu Village. However, when they reached the entrance of Yangshu Village, Yang Chuxia faced a dilemma.
Ye Zi’an couldn’t move now and needed someone to take care of him. His home was too far from the village, so nobody would be able to take care of him if he was sent back there. There was also the problem of the Ye Ziyong brothers: if they took advantage of the situation and acted maliciously, then Brother An would be in danger.
Let Yang Dachuan take care of him? Yang Dachuan was no match for Ye Zi’an physically; besides, aside from carrying water or something like that, nobody would be afraid of Dachuan.
After some thought, Yang Chuxia made a bold decision to take Brother An home and care for him. She hadn’t discussed her decision with Ye Zi’an and Yang Dachuan. So when the carriage stopped at the door of the Yang family’s house, Yang Dachuan was stunned for a moment.
"Father, don’t just stand there. Open the door." Yang Chuxia jumped off the carriage and saw Uncle Old Gen who had come to see what the fuss was about, as well as Yang Dayong and Land Officer Yang who had hurried over upon hearing the news. She said, "Uncle, Uncle Old Gen, can you lend a hand and help lift Brother An down?"
"Xiaxia, what is this?" Land Officer Yang asked.
Yang Chuxia crisply replied, "Granduncle, Brother An got injured trying to save me. His family only consists of him, and his home is so far away that it’s not convenient to care for him. I want to keep him at our home to heal his injuries, and he can return once he’s recovered."
Upon hearing this, Land Officer Yang hadn’t yet said anything when Ye Zi’an hurriedly interjected, "Xiaxia, no need, I can recover at home."
Land Officer Yang also said, "Yes, it’s not appropriate for Brother An to stay at your home since he’s a grown boy, and you’re a young lady. It would harm your reputation."
"Granduncle, with all that’s going on, why are you still worrying about that? Besides, it’s not only me who lives at home. There are my father, mother, brother, and sister as well. So many people are watching, so if I hear any nonsense rumors, whoever started those rumors better watch out. I don’t have my mother’s patience." After Yang Chuxia’s rant, the previously murmuring women instantly fell silent.
Land Officer Yang and Ye Zi’an were left speechless.
That was a blatant threat.
Just at that moment, the door to the Yang family’s courtyard opened, and Ms. Wang came out first.
"Mom, I want to keep Brother An at our house to recover. At his own home, there’s no one to take care of him."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Wang only hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, hurry up and carry him inside. Don’t just leave him outside. This child has been through enough. We should take care of him."
"Uncle, Auntie, it’s okay, I can go home. I can already move a little and can take care of myself." Ye Zi’an, born and raised in ancient times, had certain taboos. Most importantly, he didn’t want to tarnish Yang Chuxia’s reputation.
