Tang Chuxia was filled with endless grief when she t Elder Huang.
"Why? Didn’t you used to call Master?"
Elder Huang’s words imdiately brought a smile to Tang Chuxia’s face: "Master, how can you say that? I’m definitely your disciple!"
Elder Huang snorted coldly, "Less nonsense. Once we’re there, I won’t have ti to keep an eye on you. Your acupuncture skills are impressive, so you’ll be able to assist!"
Many people were suffering from cold illnesses due to the disaster, so there would surely be a lot of patients.
In the dead of winter, anyone would feel uncomfortable from such calamity.
Typically, it would be snowing at this ti, but instead, there was a flood.
It was extraordinarily strange.
Tang Chuxia assured that she would obediently follow instructions and not act recklessly.
Several vehicles driven with dicine directly towards the neighboring city. While Tang Chuxia was busy saving lives on one side, on the other side, soone nearly lost their life.
The matter concerning the moat left everyone in Quan City anxious, with every family, including the Yu family, busy with it.
Yu iyu took advantage of a mont when no one was watching her and attempted suicide by slitting her wrist.
Luckily, Luo Hongi, who ca to visit, discovered her and imdiately called for help to save her.
Luo Hongi stood at Yu iyu’s bedside, pacing in anger: "What’s wrong with you? Are you insane?"
Yu iyu kept her head tilted, tears streaming, without saying a word.
She didn’t know what to say either.
After going through such an ordeal, so many people knew about it, ruining her reputation.
How could she live like this?
Luo Hongi scolded, "You’re insane! What exactly are you trying to do? If everyone acted like you and sought death at every grievance, then should all those people assaulted by the little devils back then have died?"
The incidents from those years were much more tragic than now.
Luo Hongi, although not educated, knew that the elders of the previous generation had experienced those tis firsthand and rembered many things.
They had many stories to tell.
Luo Hongi had naturally heard many tales of won violated by the little devils, and many of them were still living.
If everyone acted like Yu iyu, wouldn’t many people die?
"It’s different! It’s not the sa!"
Being violated by the little devils was a national grudge. But she was assaulted by local thugs, which was humiliating!
Luo Hongi didn’t know how to awaken Yu iyu with her scolding.
"So, are you giving up on Tang Jianbing?"
Yu iyu cried even harder.
She had hoped for a good life after marrying Tang Jianbing, but now everything was ruined, and she didn’t know how to face Tang Jianbing.
Yu iyu believed she was tainted and unworthy of Tang Jianbing.
"I won’t!"
After saying it, Yu iyu felt difficulty in breathing.
Luo Hongi called her insane.
Yu iyu held her head and wept bitterly.
Luo Hongi, feeling helpless, could only leave, thinking she needed to talk to Tang Jianbing about this, but she knew all the n in the city had left to work.
She had no choice but to find Tang Chuxia.
However, upon arriving at the Tang Family, she found out that Tang Chuxia wasn’t ho and had gone to save people.
Luo Hongi had no options left, completely helpless, only hoping Yu iyu could co around on her own.
If it were before, Luo Hongi might have provoked Yu iyu by suggesting she could pursue Tang Jianbing, but now Luo Hongi was engaged. Though her fiancé was a bit dull, he seed alright recently and cared very much for her.
Emotional issues are the hardest to solve.
As Luo Hongi pondered whom to speak to, she encountered Tang Jianbing, who was in a disheveled state, and when Tang Jianbing saw Luo Hongi, he tried to avoid her, but was stopped by Luo Hongi.
"I know you went to see Yu iyu. She just attempted suicide. Seeing you might upset her even more. If you’ll heed my advice, go to find Tang Chuxia. She’s crafty and will surely have a solution!"
Tang Jianbing: ...
He hadn’t expected Luo Hongi to help him.
"Thank you!"
No matter the reason, Tang Jianbing felt it was necessary to say these words.
Luo Hongi’s face reddened slightly, and she quickly waved her hand: "I don’t need your thanks. It was my fault before. I won’t chase after you anymore!"
Tang Jianbing smiled.
Initially, he didn’t have much ill will towards Luo Hongi, and hearing her now made him think she was nice, even more without any resentnt.
After things were clarified, both felt relieved.
Tang Jianbing expressed that he would find his sister to diate, and Luo Hongi reminded him again: "Actually, it’s best not to force Yu iyu to marry you. She isn’t in the right emotional state!"
Tang Jianbing acknowledged her advice. After parting from Luo Hongi, he returned ho. Finding his sister not at ho, he imdiately went to sleep.
Since Yu iyu was unwilling to see him, he was tired and opted to rest first.
However, Tang Jianbing didn’t expect soone saw him speaking with Luo Hongi without insisting on seeing Yu iyu. And that soone was none other than Yu iyu’s nephew.
The little boy didn’t know what should and shouldn’t be said, so he told Yu iyu he saw her future brother-in-law standing at the door chatting briefly with Luo Hongi before leaving.
Yu iyu abruptly lost all hope and stopped eating or drinking.
The Yu Family was infuriated, especially Yu iyu’s elder sister-in-law, who stord over to the Tang Family to confront Tang Jianbing.
"Are you planning to call off the engagent?"
Tang Jianbing, already exhausted, was abruptly summoned to hear that Yu iyu’s sister-in-law was present and naturally went to et her.
But upon eting, she started with such an accusation, leaving him completely stunned.
"What do you an?"
Tang Jianbing looked towards Madam Tang, who also had no idea what was going on.
Yu iyu’s elder sister-in-law said, "My son saw you with Luo Hongi. Is it that you despise our little sister? Do you not intend to marry her? You also look down on her for being violated? Let tell you, this cannot happen, you cannot do this!"
Madam Tang initially sympathized with Yu iyu and liked the girl, so when her son said he wanted to marry Yu iyu after the incident, the couple rushed back to handle the marriage. But the Yu family kept causing trouble, and now they were even turning the tables.
Days of emotional exhaustion had left Madam Tang feeling irritable.
"What do you an? Your girl was violated, but it wasn’t by our Little Four, was it? He ca back to arrange the marriage, and you kept finding fault, and now? Is it that being violated is a reason to hold us up?"
Yu iyu’s elder sister-in-law’s face turned a bit unpleasant.
She also realized her behavior seed unreasonable.
"Who is making demands? It’s obvious that your family just wants to save face and doesn’t truly intend to marry our little sister. If you were sincere in your proposal, you would follow the protocol and complete the Three Letters and Six Rites!"
The Yu family’s attitude infuriated Madam Tang.
She originally considered Yu iyu’s tragic encounter and thought an early marriage could stop people from talking about the incident. Though all formalities were not done, they showed ample respect.
They prepared a generous dowry, even extra items like a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a watch, a sign of considerable respect compared to most families.
And what was the return for their efforts?
Madam Tang kicked Tang Jianbing, "Little Four, give your mother a straight answer, are you still planning to marry, or not?"
