Chapter 419

On the way back.

Yi Zhonghai fell twice.

Liu Haizhong fell three times.

Yan Fugui fell eight times; later, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong couldn't bear it anymore, Yan Fugui couldn't fall again, or he'd break something.

The two carried Yan Fugui back to the Sihe Academy.

Back at the Sihe Academy.

The three went home, too exhausted to even say goodbye.

Liu Haizhong returned home.

He wanted to take off his jacket, but as soon as he raised his hand, he winced.

His whole body ached!

Moving was incredibly painful!

"Master of the house, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Hai's wife was startled.

She hurried over to help Liu Haizhong take off his jacket.

"Don't ask!"

"That brat Ping'an is too vicious!"

"He made us work all day, digging ditches, carrying dirt in the afternoon, and moving stones; I'm falling apart."

Liu Haizhong complained.

"I'll get your food out, eat it and go to sleep!"

Liu Hai's wife was very considerate.

"Not eating!"

Liu Haizhong winced, moving step by step toward the bedroom; he just wanted to lie down, throw himself on the bed, and get a good sleep.

Front courtyard.

Yan family.

Yan Fugui returned home; entering the door, he didn't lift his foot, kicked the threshold, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Yan Jiecheng was startled.

He and Yan Jiefang ran over to help Yan Fugui up.

Yan Fugui was as soft as a noodle, unable to stand; Liu Haizhong was exhausted, let alone the non-manual laborer Yan Fugui?

"Don't talk, hurry and help your dad to the bedroom!"

"Master of the house, lie down for a while, I'll get some brown sugar to brew for you."

Yan Fu's wife felt sorry for Yan Fugui.

"No, we only have that little bit of brown sugar, don't touch it!"

"I'm just too tired, I'll be fine after a rest!"

Yan Fugui, hearing that the precious brown sugar was to be used, spoke up immediately.

Yi Zhonghai's house.

He looked fine, able to go home and find a chair to sit on.

"Master of the house, I'll go heat up a bowl of rice for you!"

Yi's wife saw Yi Zhonghai's haggard face and knew he was exhausted.

"Don't..."

Yi Zhonghai had just finished speaking when he slid off the chair.

"Master of the house, what's wrong?"

Yi's wife was terrified.

Yi Zhonghai hadn't been drinking, why did he slide off the chair?

"Don't worry, I'm just too tired."

"Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong are in worse shape than me!"

"I won't eat dinner, help me to the bed, I'm going straight to sleep."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't hold on anymore.

Yi's wife nodded.

Yi Zhonghai lay on the bed and was snoring within half a minute.

Jia family.

Jia Dongxu returned home.

Just entered the courtyard.

He noticed a strange phenomenon.

People in the courtyard were pointing at him.

His face darkened; he hadn't done anything, people pointing at him meant something must have happened to Jia Zhangshi, what had she done again?

Jia Dongxu hurried home.

Just entered the door, he froze.

Jia Zhangshi was black and blue, clearly beaten up, and quite severely.

"Mom, who did this?"

"Wan Ping'an?"

Jia Dongxu guessed.

In the Sihe Academy, not many people dared to hit Jia Zhangshi.

The first was the deaf old lady, the second was He Daqing, the third was Xu Fugui, and recently there was Wan Ping'an.

The deaf old lady used a cane and wouldn't leave such marks.

He Daqing worked at a restaurant and wasn't home, and Jia Zhangshi wouldn't go to the restaurant.

Xu Fugui went to the six acres of land and had no time.

Only Wan Ping'an was left, his time was the most flexible.

"Not him, on the way back from the hospital, I ran into robbers, they wanted my money, could I give it to them?"

"I fought them, one against a group, and beat them away."

Jia Zhangshi gilded her own lily.

Really?

Jia Dongxu was very skeptical.

But Jia Zhangshi didn't want to say, and he couldn't force her.

After dinner.

Jia Zhangshi took out a glass bottle.

"Mom, what is this black stuff?"

Jia Dongxu was curious.

"This is medicine I bought, the master who sold it said to apply it to the burns at midnight, and my burns will be healed within three days!"

Jia Zhangshi was very proud.

The hospital medicine cost three yuan a course, and didn't guarantee a cure in one course, maybe two were needed.

The stall master's medicine cost three yuan a bottle and guaranteed a cure in three days!

She was simply too smart!

"Mom, what master?"

"You weren't scammed, were you?"

"This is treating an illness, don't mess around, don't smear just anything on your body."

Jia Dongxu was very worried.

Jia Zhangshi's burns were quite serious; the doctor said she must follow medical advice, otherwise infection could occur, and the burns could worsen.

The black stuff in the glass bottle looked unreliable to Jia Dongxu!

"Do you think your mother is a fool?"
