Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 276: One Paralyzed, One Insane

The two of them never even entered the Yue Family’s courtyard.

Zhang Tieniu had no idea what exactly had happened to Niu Lihua.

But with her current state, it clearly wasn’t suitable to go to the Yue Family for any sort of negotiation.

He had no choice but to pinch his nose and help her up, "What’s wrong with you again, falling sick."

Niu Lihua pushed him away with one hand and stumbled back home, scrambling and rolling.

Zhang Tieniu was both annoyed and baffled, he could only follow her, calling out to her.

The more Niu Lihua ran, the faster she became, startling many villagers along the way with her appearance.

"Is she possessed?"

"Probably her madness coming back to her. That’s why you shouldn’t do bad things, or there will be retribution."

Hearing these remarks, Zhang Tieniu grew both angry and anxious, quickening his pace to follow her.

Niu Lihua ran wildly like a headless fly, evidently without any destination in mind.

Zhang Tieniu, sweating profusely, suddenly missed his step and tumbled harshly off the edge of a rice paddy.

There happened to be a sickle standing up in the field, and Zhang Tieniu watched in horror as he fell directly towards it.

The searing pain in his waist knocked him out cold, leaving him unconscious.

After returning home, the usually reticent Yue Jianxi couldn’t help but relay this odd news to his family.

"Niu Lihua went mad out of the blue, and Zhang Tieniu had an accident chasing after her—he was taken to the hospital by some villagers who passed by. They say he might have injured his spine and could end up paralyzed."

The household was stunned by this news.

"What? One’s paralyzed and the other’s gone mad?"

Even though they didn’t really care for either of them, everyone felt that the turn of events was eerie.

Lin Chunju glanced subtly at Yue Qingqing, who was earnestly eating her meal.

Hmm... she had only used a simple Illusion Technique...

As for Zhang Tieniu’s accident, it could only be said that it was the Yue Family’s fortune that backfired on him.

The Yue Family’s fortunes were in full swing now, and those who meant harm to them were likely to encounter misfortunes themselves.

Ultimately, it was still their fault for harboring ill intentions.

Not much later.

It was heard that Zhang Tieniu needed a significant amount of money for medical expenses, but Zhang Jinhe was unwilling to pay and kept stalling at the hospital.

In the end, it took the village head’s intervention, who decided to rent Zhang Tieniu’s land to someone else to raise the funds for his treatment.

But when Zhang Jinhe returned home, he clamored about dividing the family and never visited his father in the hospital again. He went on to seize the house and even drove Niu Lihua out.

Niu Lihua went completely mad. There was no specialized hospital in the village, so she could only be sent back to her parents’ home.

Locked up in a small hut used for storing firewood, she was given just enough food to keep from starving, but was otherwise neglected.

The village was filled with sympathy; they said if Zhang Family had treated Zhang Ying kindly, considering the current situation of the Yue Family, they wouldn’t have stood idly by.

Who was to blame when Niu Lihua had mistreated her from a young age and Zhang Tieniu turned a blind eye.

Everything now was simply the fruit of their own actions.

During dinner that evening, Yue Jiandong couldn’t help feeling wistful, "No wonder Mom said one must have a conscience in life, looking at those people now, not one of them has come to a good end."

Lin Chunju nodded, "Our Yue Family may not care about other things, but at least we have to be able to live with ourselves."

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

Lin Chunju then remembered something else.

"Third child, take a trip to the city in the next two days, find your teachers from the No. 1 High School."

Yue Jiannan wiped his mouth, "Is the Teacher Appreciation Banquet set up?"

"Yes, your elder brother has booked a private room at the Four Seas Restaurant for this weekend."

"Alright, I’ll go back to my room and write the invitations in a bit."

Yue Jiannan rubbed his hands together in eagerness.

The Teacher Appreciation Banquet definitely needed to be hosted; though getting into university was mainly because he was a genius, the help from his teachers was also indispensable.

Returning to No. 1 High School this time, he could truly consider it a triumphant return!
