“Humph!” Qiao Yuanshan sneered coldly, “Not on purpose? Do you think those words mean anything now? My youngest brother is injured like this because of you, and you think that just by saying it was not intentional, everything’s solved? Don’t think you can get away with this by playing the fool. I’m telling you, this matter is far from over!”

Qiao Yuanming seemed to realize he might have gone too far, and gently tugged at Qiao Yuanshan’s sleeve, “Big brother…” But Qiao Yuanshan just glared back at him with a cold look.

The word “fool” hit Erliang right in the heart, as uncomfortable as a needle prick. Erliang clenched his teeth and forced himself to endure, the veins on the hands holding his basket bulging, showing how much he was suffering. Yet he still bowed his head, silent, letting Qiao Yuanshan curse. He just didn’t want to cause more trouble; the accidental injury of Yuanzhen was his fault, and any further quarrel would only make matters worse.

“Whether this matter is over or not is not for you to decide!”

A sharp, cold female voice suddenly rang out. Everyone turned their heads in surprise, while Dahei at their side began to bark loudly as if to cheer on.

But it was Muniang who walked straight to Erliang, her frosty face melting into a soft glow, “What happened?”

She had seen all of his anger, his restraint, his stubbornness, and it just made her heart ache, ache so much she felt like hitting someone.

Erliang hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Uncle and I were fighting over hawthorns, my fourth uncle came to intervene, but I accidentally bumped into him, and he rolled down and injured his arm.” His voice was small, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for punishment.

Muniang frowned, “Fighting over hawthorns?”

Qiao Yuanshan immediately snapped out of Muniang’s imposing aura and hastened to say, “Don’t try to distract me, Muniang. Your husband has injured your fourth uncle; look at his arm, it’s all scratched up. Tell me, how should we settle this matter?!”

Muniang ignored Qiao Yuanshan’s words and asked Erliang, “Tell me exactly what happened. Why were you fighting over hawthorns?”

“I came here with Dahei to pick hawthorns. I had picked a whole basket when uncle wanted to take it. I refused, and he started to get physical. I dodged, but my fourth uncle stepped in to make peace. I accidentally bumped into him with too much force, and he rolled down the hill.”

Muniang’s face darkened instantly. So Qiao Yuanshan thought he could bully Erliang because he’s a fool and dared to openly try to snatch his hawthorns? Now he has the audacity to so shamelessly twist the truth because he thinks Erliang is easy to bully!

Qiao Yuanshan quickly retorted, “Don’t spout nonsense! When did I ever want to take your hawthorns? Don’t think you can get away with acting crazy and spouting nonsense just because you’re a fool. You caused the injury, and now you’re trying to argue your way out of it, shameless!”

But Muniang coldly said to Qiao Yuanshan, “Don’t think you can get away with acting crazy and spouting nonsense just because you’re not a fool, bullying him, and deceiving me!”

A warm current slid through Erliang’s heart. No matter the moment, his wife always trusted him the most, always stood by his side.

Qiao Yuanshan was caught off guard, never expecting the usually meek Muniang to become so fierce and sharp all of a sudden.

Muniang glanced at the scattered hawthorn on the ground, “My husband has never been one to cause trouble, if you hadn’t grabbed the hawthorn first and started the fight, how could my husband have bumped into uncle? All you’re doing is trying to push the blame onto my husband, because you think he isn’t smart, don’t you?!”

But Qiao Yuanshan just snorted coldly, “What a joke! A fool, his nonsensical words, can they even be believed? He’s just lying because he doesn’t want to take responsibility. Why would I, with nothing better to do, fight with him over hawthorn? What’s so good about this trash?”

Li Cheng couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward, “I clearly saw that it was you who grabbed the two ounces of hawthorn and even tried to hit someone. Erliang was merely dodging your fists and never fought back. Qiao Yuanzhen was actually trying to break up the fight but got inadvertently bumped into by Erliang and then rolled down the slope.”

At Li Cheng’s words, Qiao Yuanshan was momentarily speechless. He didn’t expect that there was actually a witness, but he still stubbornly retorted, “When did you see it? Just now, it was only us brothers and this idiot here, no one else at all!”

Li Cheng said, “I was passing by here on my way to hunt in the mountains when I saw you quarreling. And you still want to spout nonsense!”

Qiao Yuanshan was instantly at a loss for words. Suddenly a witness had appeared, and he found himself in a bind right there.

Qiao Yuanming also felt awkward. He had been ready to tell the truth, but his elder brother had always stopped him, forbidding him to talk nonsense. Although a brother’s word wasn’t as authoritative as a parent’s, it was still something he couldn’t defy in his heart. So, he had obediently shut his mouth and stayed silent the entire time.

Suddenly, Mrs. Ji’s “grief-stricken” wailing rang out, “Oh, my dear fourth brother, how did you end up so badly injured? Isn’t this arm, the one you use to hold the writing brush, doomed to be useless? The family still depends on you to earn scholarly honor and glory for our ancestors!”

Muniang looked on in surprise at Mrs. Ji, who was sobbing and sniffling, and suddenly felt that the world was really amazing, capable of producing all kinds of ridiculous people!

Qiao Yuanzhen only felt embarrassed. This sister-in-law had always seemed shameless to him. He cast a disgusted glance at her, wondering what on earth she was making a fuss about this time.

Mrs. Ji, as if she didn’t notice Qiao Yuanzhen’s disdainful look, pointed at Erliang’s nose and wailed, “You evil-hearted man, you’ve injured our fourth brother, and now you’re trying to shrug off the blame! Do you know how valuable our fourth brother’s right hand is, something that people of your coarse status can’t compare to? If his prospects are ruined henceforth, our Qiao family will not let you off easily!”

Only then did Muniang remember the injured person sitting here and said with a frown, “You’re not going to see a doctor for your injuries and just sitting here waiting to die?” Her tone wasn’t very nice, but it was, after all, words of concern, albeit she didn’t want to show any kind face to the Qiao family.

Qiao Yuanzhen’s expression suddenly darkened, “My ankle is sprained, I can’t walk.”

Li Qinghe quickly assured Muniang, “I had already sent someone to summon Doctor Chen on my way to fetch you, he should be arriving shortly.” As she spoke, she took a glance at Qiao Yuanzhen, her cheeks flushing with a hint of embarrassment and vexation.

When Mrs. Ji heard that Qiao Yuanzhen’s foot was injured as well, her wailing grew even louder, “You’ve even hurt his foot now, Erliang, you truly have a cruel heart, to be so ruthless. You’re a fool yourself, and now you want to ruin someone else’s future?”

“Enough!” Muniang shouted sternly, “We all know very well what actually happened, so stop pretending! After all, isn’t it just money that you’re after?!”
