Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 266: Er Laizi Awakens

"No, it wasn’t me!"

Mrs. Lai Sr. was crying so hard that she was out of breath, but she still didn’t forget to defend herself, pointing at Mrs. Qi and wailing, "I just asked you for help, I never mentioned anything about that girl Qi Manman!"

"It was you! You’re the one who said you wanted Qi Manman to marry my son, no, it wasn’t me!"

Mrs. Lai Sr.’s voice was quite loud, and these words shocked everyone present even more.

But after the initial shock, everyone felt that what Mrs. Lai Sr. said couldn’t possibly be true.

Given how Mrs. Qi treasures Manbao as if she’s her precious jewel, how could she have said something like that?

Seeing Mrs. Lai Sr. say this, Mrs. Qi was so angry she laughed, spat, and cursed, "Why don’t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Marrying my Manbao to your son? Why don’t you say you want to reach the heavens?"

"He’s in his twenties now, but do you really not know what kind of person he was back in the former Yongping Village?"

As soon as the former Yongping Village was mentioned, many people in the village didn’t understand what was going on, so they could only look at those who came from the original former Yongping Village.

But all those people shook their heads, and no one said another word.

It was true that Mrs. Lai Sr.’s actions were unethical, but the changes in Er Laizi were evident to everyone.

Plus, after helping each other through tough times on the road, their impression of Er Laizi had long since changed from what it was back in the former Yongping Village.

No one believed Er Laizi would have designs on the Qi Family’s little granddaughter, so naturally, they wouldn’t gossip along with the crowd.

Qi Ercai also had the same thought.

Whether Mrs. Lai Sr. had such an idea, Qi Ercai couldn’t be sure, but he had been watching Er Laizi work during this time, and he had seen the changes in Er Laizi.

Especially when the former Yongping Village was mentioned, Qi Ercai had a bad feeling and hurriedly said, "Mother, calm down for now. Let’s wait for the doctor to come and see how Er Laizi is doing first."

There was still someone lying on the ground, unsure if dead or alive. Arguing about anything else was truly pointless.

Mrs. Qi glared at Qi Ercai, and when she saw him glance in the direction of Liu Qinghe, she calmed down.

She snorted, stood with her arms akimbo, and stopped looking at Mrs. Lai Sr.

But at this point, Mrs. Lai Sr. was beyond recognizing the situation’s severity, wailing about wanting to report to the government and the like.

Everyone looked at Liu Qinghe, because after all, he was a Government Official, and in the eyes of these villagers, he was like a big official of the government.

Liu Qinghe felt very awkward, but he couldn’t just leave at this moment, so he had no choice but to step forward. He said to Mrs. Lai Sr., "You want to report to the government, but you must wait for the doctor to take a look first. Whether the person is dead or injured, the way to report it is different."

"I don’t trust you! You’re one of the Qi Family, and those two doctors too! You all eat the Qi Family’s food, of course, you’ll speak in their favor!"

Mrs. Lai Sr.’s only support was her son, Er Laizi.

Now that her son’s life was uncertain, she had nothing left to hope for, seeing everyone as the culprit.

Liu Qinghe frowned and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! If there really was a death, even the highest authority would arrest you just the same!"

Being shouted at by him, Mrs. Lai Sr. sobered up a bit and merely held Er Laizi’s head and cried.

Yin Cheng came in at this time, especially having heard the remarks about eating the Qi Family’s food, which made him quite angry.

"Let’s go, let’s go, we’re leaving! Since they don’t trust us, there’s no need for us to get involved in this mess!"

As he spoke, Yin Cheng pulled Qin Minglang’s sleeve and started to walk back.

Qin Minglang had also heard those words and was uncomfortable but still persuaded, "Senior brother, since we’re already here, let’s take a look! If the person isn’t dead and we don’t lend a hand, and they end up dying, it’ll be hard to explain later."

Yin Cheng was angry, but he still listened to those words.

If the Qi Family really got involved in a lawsuit because of untimely treatment, he wouldn’t be able to let it go in his heart.

After a few grunts, he released Qin Minglang’s sleeve.

Qin Minglang walked forward with the medicine box, wanting to touch Er Laizi, but Mrs. Lai Sr. was unwilling.

In the end, it was Liu Qinghe who spoke up, getting two women from the village who weren’t from the Qi Family to come over, and they managed to half-drag, half-pull Mrs. Lai Sr. away from Er Laizi.

Qin Minglang and Yin Cheng worked together to examine Er Laizi.

"He’s fainted, not dead."

Qin Minglang said, taking out a silver needle and aiming to plunge it into Er Laizi’s philtrum.

"What are you doing?"

Mrs. Lai Sr. panicked and directly shook off the two women beside her, rushing forward like a madwoman.

Seeing her about to crash into Qin Minglang, Liu Qinghe reacted quickly and pulled her back, "What are you doing? Didn’t you hear what the doctor said, your son is not dead?"

"If he’s not dead, why are you poking my son with a needle?"

Mrs. Lai Sr. glared at Liu Qinghe with bloodshot eyes, "You’re all in this together! You all want to kill my son! I’ll fight you!"

Mrs. Lai Sr. lowered her head and was about to head-butt Liu Qinghe in the chest.

Liu Qinghe was startled and quickly moved aside.

Those two women also rushed over, this time grabbing Mrs. Lai Sr.’s arms more forcibly.

Earlier when Mrs. Lai Sr. had shaken them off, it was a firm shake.

Now, this wasn’t exactly retaliation, but it was close enough.

Mrs. Lai Sr. struggled wildly but couldn’t break free.

Liu Qinghe turned to Qin Minglang with a dark face and said, "Doctor, go ahead with the needle!"

Qin Minglang was skilled in medicine, and given his previous experience, he had treated notables and reputable people, and had never encountered such a situation.

Even after moving to the village, there had been uproar, but nobody dared to approach him directly.

After all, he was one of the few legitimate doctors in the village, with a high status, and the villagers protected him.

On the other hand, Yin Cheng had seen much more, and frequently dealt with such unruly people.

With a disdainful look at Qin Minglang, Yin Cheng took the silver needle, precisely pierced it into Er Laizi’s philtrum, and twisted it slightly.

Mrs. Lai Sr. was shouting so loudly her voice was cracking, but Er Laizi suddenly drew a deep breath and woke up.

"He’s awake, if you have anything to ask, just ask directly!"

Yin Cheng handed the silver needle back to Qin Minglang and said this to Liu Qinghe.

Liu Qinghe clasped his hands in thanks, then looked at Er Laizi, who was lying on the ground with somewhat unfocused eyes, "Er Laizi, can you speak now?"

Er Laizi’s eyes shifted slightly, and after a moment, he struggled to sit up.

At this point, his face and body were covered in dirt, but it was as if he didn’t feel anything, looking up at Liu Qinghe and hoarsely asking, "What does the officer want to ask?"

He didn’t complain, nor did he glare angrily at the Qi Family, instead calmly speaking to Liu Qinghe. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Seeing him like this, Liu Qinghe felt a bit relieved, and his tone wasn’t as harsh as before, "Er Laizi, do you know why the Qi Family came to your house to cause trouble?"
