I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Movements in the Ba Wang Zhang Family (Second Update)

Everyone else lowered their heads and kept silent. Beisitian stood behind Xu Youcai, who couldn’t see her, so he never considered that a child might hide something in such a situation, feeling that this family was full of honest people who had been harmed without knowing it.

The people involved couldn’t explain, and the rest knew even less. Xu Youcai comforted them a couple of times before getting up to leave.

Beisitian politely saw him off. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to rely on the official, but since she arrived here, the first thing she encountered was this kind of incident. Xu Youcai was on the scene and helpless at the time, and seeking him out now would yield the same result.

Zhang Lianqiao harmed the original owner, and now her brother almost killed Luo Anping. Beisitian won’t let them off so easily.

When Beisitian returned to the room, Luo Anping was already asleep, with such a large wound and a broken leg, he surely needed a lot of rest.

Beisitian made a meal of medicinal food to replenish their energy and blood and fed the little puppy a bit, then went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

In the afternoon, Beisitian went into the mountains briefly and quickly returned.

Early the next morning, the tranquil Kao Village suddenly resonated with sharp shouting, waking many households who sat on their kang and intently listened to determine which house the cursing came from.

Some older folks who got up early stood at their front doors, heads raised, listening and gradually moving towards the street corner.

As more people gathered in the street, the cursing turned to wailing, with crying voices growing louder. They realized it was from the Ba Wang Zhang Family at the east end of the village.

This intrigued the villagers, as the Ba Wang Zhang Family was usually harmonious, even if fighting never escalated to the street. What happened today? The voice sounded like Li Fengzhi.

Li Fengzhi’s voice was commanding; one scream could startle half the street’s babies. Her crying and shouting disrupted the peace of the area.

After listening for a while, everyone figured out why Li Fengzhi was throwing a fit—her chickens had been stolen!

When Li Fengzhi woke up in the early morning, she saw the yard covered in chicken feathers, with no chickens left in the coop. She thought she was seeing things until she searched the yard thoroughly and realized all that remained were feathers, prompting her wailing.

Zhang Shuncai ran out with a coat on, his face turned green. That entire coop had over a dozen chickens, worth quite a bit of money, with daily egg production substantial. Now not one was left!

Who had the audacity to steal chickens from their home?

Zhang Shuncai picked up a sickle without a word and went out to the street, pointing at the sky and cursing, demanding the chicken thief come out instead of hiding. After shouting for a long time, naturally, no one responded.

When he got tired of cursing, Li Fengzhi took over, crying and insulting, her words extremely unpleasant, even involving childbirth slurs, like a mountain village shrew!

Mother and son took turns cursing wildly, with no neighbors responding, each getting upset at home, wondering who the insults were aimed at, feeling the whole village was being cursed!

If anyone lost over a dozen chickens, they’d feel distressed enough to curse, but hardly anyone would stand in the street cursing like them.

Everyone listened, but no one stepped forward, silently thinking they deserved it, karma.

The mother and son cursed for a long time, and when no one paid attention to them, their third brother came out shouting, realizing that cursing wouldn’t solve anything, spat on the ground, and went back inside.

Later, it spread through the village that the Zhang Family had offended the mountain’s Huang Daxian, who had come for them!

Rumors started from nowhere, growing more intense, until by evening, all of Kao Village was discussing the issue.

Over a dozen chickens gone overnight, with only feathers left behind. If regular ferrets stole the chickens, wouldn’t the coop be noisy?

It had to be Huang Daxian!

The rumor evolved with vivid details, someone even claimed to see a few strands of yellow hair at the Ba Wang Zhang Family’s doorstep.

Tyrant Zhang, known for bullying villagers, met with such retribution, delighting many who clapped their hands joyfully!

Xu Youcai considered the matter briefly before shaking his head, finding it improbable and deciding not to meddle. Regardless of whether it was human involvement or the ferret’s doing, Tyrant Zhang needed a lesson.

With this new topic, Luo Er’s family’s issue gradually faded from conversation, as villagers found relief and satisfaction discussing it for a day.

The incident seemed to conclude, but unexpectedly, early the next morning, Li Fengzhi’s cries erupted again.

This time, it was genuine sobbing, her cursing leaving her breathless.

Considering yesterday’s events, villagers hurriedly got up. What was missing now?

Some who were braver and less intimidated by the Ba Wang Zhang Family came out to investigate, discovering that her old sow was gone!

The price of pigs and chickens isn’t the same; if a house had a big fat pig, it indicated a family’s wealth. Losing the pig left Li Fengzhi feeling like her heart was dug out, it’s painful!

”Who is so heartless and depraved to do this! My pig, give my pig back, you wicked souls! May your entire family suffer!”

Some who initially sympathized with Li Fengzhi, considering saying comforting words, were taken aback by her venomous curses, which seemed to insult the entire village again.

With that, no one paid attention to Li Fengzhi, feeling the pig was lost deservedly!

Zhang Shuncai was furious, trembling all over, clearly someone was targeting them now, who dared to focus on their family?

Zhang Shuncai once again wielded a sickle, standing in the street, threatening to skin the thief alive if caught!

Naturally, no one responded to Zhang Shuncai’s shouting. Households kept their doors shut, letting them continue cursing, as it had nothing to do with them.

Tired of cursing, Zhang Shuncai sat down to catch his breath on the stone grist outside the door.

”Brother Shuncai!”

A loud call came from the village path; Zhang Shuncai turned to see it was his friend Hei Gouzi, a buddy and lackey of his.

”What are you yelling about!” Zhang Shuncai, still angry, was irritated by everyone he saw.

”You’d better go look, is that pig near the village entrance yours?” Hei Gouzi dashed over, panting.

Earlier in the morning, Hei Gouzi’s mother heard of an odd event while buying pancakes, and after Li Fengzhi and Zhang Shuncai’s cursing, Hei Gouzi immediately suspected it might be their pig.

Half heard, Zhang Shuncai grabbed the sickle and ran towards the village entrance, Li Fengzhi quickly followed.

Seeing Zhang Shuncai run off, Hei Gouzi didn’t dare follow, worrying that if Zhang Shuncai couldn’t handle the scene, he’d take his anger out on him.

Zhang Shuncai charged with his sickle to the small bridge at the village entrance, spotting the pig by the sewer; was it indeed his family’s pig!

Finding the pig didn’t bring Zhang Shuncai any joy, blue veins popping on his forehead, he clasped the sickle, trembling.
