"Why can you save him, but not my son? You’re all in this together, and I will make you pay for my son's life!"
Hei Dou Niang stood up as if possessed, making a move to grab Yu Suihuan by the throat.
Yu Suihuan dodged swiftly, avoiding further confrontation, and ran down the mountain with Lai Fu.
"Don’t leave! What will happen to my son if you go? Just come back!" Hei Dou Niang shouted hoarsely, several villagers struggling to hold her back.
"What are you stopping me for? I want them to pay for my son’s life!"
"Hei Dou Niang, calm down. We all understand how much you're hurting after losing your child, but this isn’t Yu Zhiqing’s fault. Why are you harassing her?"
"It’s their fault my son is dead! If she didn’t save him, that’s a mistake! Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let them off!"
Hei Dou Niang was agitated, and the crowd found it hard to restrain her.
"Hei Dou is still lying on the ground; right now, we should focus on giving the child a proper burial!"
Seeing that reasoning with her was futile, the villagers quickly reminded her.
"My baby, my son! Why did you have to die so tragically? How am I supposed to live without you?"
This struck a chord; Hei Dou Niang collapsed onto the ground beside Hei Dou, cradling him in her arms and crying in utter despair.
The remaining villagers watched her weep, feeling their own hearts ache as they looked at the lifeless Hei Dou, tears streaming down their faces.
"I'm so sorry!"
In the hospital, Yu Suihuan forced herself to suppress her trembling hands as she apologized to Li Xiuzhen.
Li Xiuzhen was also anxious and scared; at that moment, she couldn’t think of anything else but saving Wang Jianjun's life.
But now, Wang Jianjun had lost a leg; even though he had survived, he would be disabled in the future.
"There’s nothing to apologize for, we should thank you! If it weren’t for you, Jian Jun would have lost his life! This is all fate!"
Li Xiuzhen cried with red eyes, tightly holding onto her two children.
The children were still young and didn’t understand what had happened; they simply saw their mother crying and began to cry along with her.
Yu Suihuan tried her best to calm herself down. She knew that Wang Jianjun was the pillar of his family; if he couldn’t work in the future, life would be tough for Zhao Lianzhi and the others as well. She could always help them more in the future if needed.
Thinking of this eased her guilt somewhat as she gently patted Li Xiuzhen's back.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you!"
Li Xiuzhen suddenly knelt down after placing the children on the chairs.
"If it weren't for you, Jian Jun would have died. You are a great benefactor to our family!" She exclaimed, bowing her head to Yu Suihuan.
She had understood what the doctor said earlier; if it weren't for Yu Suihuan's decisive action and timely intervention, the poison would have spread throughout Jian Jun's body. Within an hour, even a celestial being wouldn't have been able to save him.
"Please get up, we don't need to do this!"
Yu Suihuan helped Li Xiuzhen to her feet and guided her back to the chair.
"Jian Jun's life is definitely saved, but what about the children? If you cry too much and hurt yourself, what will happen to them? I'll head to town shortly and bring Sister Lianzhi back to help take care of you for a few days!"
With Wang Jianjun hospitalized, Li Xiuzhen had to care for him and the two children, which would surely be overwhelming.
Yu Suihuan bought some food for Li Xiuzhen and paid for the treatment before rushing to town.
"What? He lost his leg? What are we going to do now?"
The Little Old Lady exclaimed as she listened to Yu Suihuan recount the details of Wang Jianjun's injury, slapping her thigh in distress.
"Hey, we shouldn't let Zhao Lian Zhi go back alone; we should all go together!"
"Yes, let's all go back. We can help look after the children while Zhao Lian Zhi assists Li Xiuzhen with Jian Jun at the hospital!"
The grandmother chimed in, agreeing that after such a big incident, staying behind wouldn't bring them any peace of mind.
