Every time he said a word, Shen Shen would give him a strong whip.
Probably following Zhang Wanya's experience, Liu Panpan protected her head and face and shouted for help, which soon attracted people nearby.
There were more than thirty people standing at the gate of Liu's courtyard, and no one dared to step forward to break up the fight. It didn't matter who Shen Shen beat the person, and after a whipping and paying for the medicine, the Yamen didn't care.
Seeing Liu Panpan rolling around on the ground, Shen Shen became more and more angry: "Don't protect your face!"
Chu Yunli: "..."
It's really overbearing to a certain extent.
Everyone around was talking a lot, especially after seeing the two large pieces of ointment that were dark on Chu Yunli's face. They all said that it's better to hit people than slap them in the face. This whip is specially pointed at people's faces. This contemplation is really overbearing and unreasonable.
Someone lowered their voice: "This is too outrageous."
"Can no one cure her?"
"Does she want to ruin Panpan's face too?"
"If you don't block her face, you must want to slap her in the face. However, when she mentioned Mr. Xu just now, did Panpan go to her cousin to cry?"
"Miss Shen is Mr. Xu's fiancée, so it makes sense for Panpan to go to him to plead for mercy..."
Some people don’t believe it: “If I was just begging for mercy, would Miss Shen be so angry? In other words, the marriage between the Liu family and the Chen family came out of nowhere. From what Miss Shen meant, this marriage was arranged by her? Did Panpan treat Mr. Xu before... "
"It's true that the guarantee is incomplete. Otherwise, why would she hide Mr. Xu's Xin Yue Wanya?"
"If we continue to fight, someone will be killed!"
"Quiet!"
…
Listening to the discussions of the people around her, Chu Yunli looked at Liu Panpan's miserable condition in the yard. She kept covering her face, thinking that she couldn't hit her. The whip in her hand was swung harder and harder, and Liu Panpan's screams became louder and louder. Finally, she couldn't help but moved her injured arm away from her face. Soon, the whip hit her face, which immediately became red, swollen and oozing blood.
Many women looked away and couldn't bear to look directly.
Shen Shen got his wish, put away his whip, threw down a silver ingot, and walked away with a sneer like a gust of wind.
Everyone rushed to help, but Liu Panpan's injuries were much more serious than Zhang Wanya's. He had been whipped at least twenty or thirty times all over his body. At this time, Liu Panpan was half-conscious and unable to move at all.
Mother Liu cried and led everyone into the house. Some of the onlookers took the initiative to ask for a doctor.
Chu Yunli didn't help and turned around and went home.
Tian's face was speechless, "That's too thoughtful..." She was a little worried, "Little sister, if you threaten her like that, will she settle a score with you in the future?"
definitely will.
However, Chu Yunli would not give her this chance.
Shen Shen could be so domineering in the city and no one dared to pursue him. Naturally, it was because the Zhang family had a good relationship with the county government. If he complained to the government and the government ignored him, no one would sue him.
Similarly, if you want to bring down the Zhang family, you can't rely on the county government.
However, it is not possible to attack the business. The Zhang family is considered the first to be wealthy in the city. Many businesses are monopolized and only his family can buy them. It is impossible not to buy them, such as...salt!
Relying on salt alone, the Shen family's business cannot be hit.
So, you have to look for opportunities.
Liu Panpan was so seriously injured that Chen Sanpi didn't come to pick her up.
Liu's mother was very impatient with her daughter. In her opinion, Liu Panpan brought this crime upon herself.
It’s okay to cry to anyone, why can’t you figure it out and go to Xu Qingyue?
How can a person as domineering as Shen Shen allow his own people to be coveted?
Chu Yunli could occasionally hear Liu Panpan's screams at home. On this day, Liu's mother came and knocked on the door, "Wanya, Panpan wants to see you. Can you talk to her?"
"Of course!" Chu Yunli closed the door and followed her to Liu's house.
Mother Liu was quite surprised, "I thought you would never talk to Panpan again."
"I'm repaying my love." Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "She came to see me when I was injured. Now that she's injured, I should also go and see her."
What she said...Mother Liu had a bad feeling in her heart.
When Zhang Wanya came back from injury, Liu Panpan had no idea of worrying about her little sister. Instead, she gloated: "She just has a good-looking face. If she doesn't have a face, I don't believe my cousin can still like her." …”
Thinking of these, Mother Liu was in a daze.
She turned her head to look at the girl next to her. She had two large pieces of black ointment on her face. People who were unfamiliar with it would only find it scary. She didn't seem to feel it herself. Her back was straight, her eyebrows were smooth, her lips were Jiao even had a hint of a smile.
It would be great if Panpan could cheer up and be in such a good mood as her.
Liu Panpan had scars on her forehead and the left and right sides of her face. She was lying on her side on the bed. She had too many injuries because she was covering her face at the time, so her neck and chest suffered the most injuries. She could only do this by lying on her side. Do not put pressure on the wound.
The injury sustained the day before yesterday was still red and swollen today, and even festering. Chu Yunli was quite surprised, "Didn't you apply any medicine?"
Liu Panpan glanced at the ointment box on the bedside, "Wipe it off." He smiled bitterly, "My cousin asked me to give you the ointment, but you confiscated it. When I took it back and gave it back to my cousin, he I don’t want it either.”
Chu Yunli came closer and took a closer look at her injury. It was only February and the weather was not too hot, so the wound should not fester. After thinking about it, she said: "Actually, I didn't take it away because I didn't like you. But I suspect there is something wrong with this ointment."
Hearing this, Liu Panpan was shocked, "Really?"
Then he suddenly realized, "I told you how spicy this ointment is when you apply it. The wound has not improved after two days. I remember that you were much better at that time..."
Before he finished speaking, he shouted again: "Mother!"
Liu's mother ran in, thinking that her daughter was being bullied. When she came in, she saw Chu Yunli standing not far from the bed. Her daughter looked anxious: "Mom, we have to buy medicine again! That ointment can't be used."
"It's five coins in a box. Why can't we use such a good thing?" Liu's mother was dissatisfied, "I would like to buy it for you, but I have to have the money!"
Chu Yunli blinked and wanted to say that Shen Shen gave her the money...but she still didn't say anything.
But Liu Panpan was not stupid, and immediately said: "Where's the money Miss Shen gave me? It's a full five taels. Ten boxes of ointment are enough for me to apply until autumn!"
Probably because Chu Yunli was present, Mother Liu felt a little uncomfortable, "You have to save that money and don't spend it randomly!"
Chu Yunli: "..." I'm so full of things that I don't know where to start.
Liu Panpan was also stunned for a moment, "No, that was originally the money used to repay my injuries. Is it a waste of money to buy me medicine?"
Mother Liu glared at her, "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a householder! Save what you can, and apply this ointment first. You two have a good chat while I make lunch. Your brother hasn't eaten yet."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When the doors were closed, Liu Panpan came back to his senses. Unknowingly, tears fell all over his face. He looked at Chu Yunli and said, "Are you laughing at me?"
Chu Yunli shook his head, "No!"
Liu Panpan raised her arm under the quilt. Her fair arm was crisscrossed with red and swollen wounds, which had not improved at all for two days and were even festering.
"This mother is different from my mother!" She said: "I remember when I went to see you, you asked me to leave, and my aunt immediately pulled me out. I remember that you also had a box of this ointment, and you said
No, my aunt won’t let you use it, and will buy something else... We are all human beings, so why do you have a better life than me? Growing up, you used better things than me, and your parents and brothers were also nice to you.
But what about me?”
After suffering such a serious injury, it is normal to blame everyone, but Chu Yunli still has a grudge against her, so there is no need to be patient and listen to this. He immediately said: "If you want to do this, I will leave!"
"No!" Liu Panpan was a little anxious and looked at her face, "You have been applying this ointment on your face for several months. Is it really effective?"
Chu Yunli pointed at her face, "Look at me, aren't I still wiping it?"
Liu Panpan: "..." That means it's invalid!
In fact, the scar on Chu Yunli's face has almost healed, but the injured area is a little different from the normal skin color. Anyway, the people around her are used to her having ointment on her face, so she should take care of her more.
Liu Panpan was disappointed to learn that the black ointment was ineffective in removing scars, and she lost interest in talking for a while. Her whole body ached, and it only stopped when she fell asleep, but Liu's mother was reluctant to buy her soothing medicine. In the past two days,
She basically didn't sleep at night. Now that she felt sleepy, she didn't force herself and fell asleep directly.
Chu Yunli went out and saw Liu Mu in the yard and said, "She is asleep!"
Mother Liu nodded, "Do you also think I'm heartless?"
"No!" Chu Yunli didn't sympathize with Liu Panpan at all. He would have been more miserable to avoid her taking action.
Thinking of something, Chu Yunli said: "Auntie, if you can, you should buy some more wound medicine for Panpan. The kind she uses has something added by the Shen family in it, and the wound will rot."
Liu Panpan had so many injuries on her body. If the wounds fester and she develops a high fever, she might just go away.
How can I just die like this?
It’s too cheap for her!
Now her face is ruined, her body is injured, and she is suffering while living. Of course, the longer she lives, the better!
Liu Panpan said this, Liu's mother didn't believe it, but Chu Yunli, who had been whipped before, also said the same, Liu's mother had to believe it, "Then which one did you use?"
Chu Yunli said casually: "Just an ordinary one, three coins in a box."
With that said, he went out and returned home.
She didn't try to persuade her. In the final analysis, whether Liu's mother changed the medicine or not, Liu Panpan would suffer, so that was fine.
In the blink of an eye, March is here, and the county examination begins.
Many people in the county are talking that if he passes the exam, he will be a scholar.
Xu Qingyue passed the county test in his previous life. I wonder if he can pass this time.
And Yu Changfeng also wanted to participate. Before going, he came to Chu Yunli specifically and said, "If I win, I will marry you immediately!"
At that time, Chu Yunli joked, "Then you have to work harder, don't make me wait until I am seven or eighty years old."
Yu Changfeng: "..." He didn't mean it this way, but it was obvious that the beauty had misunderstood.
He immediately became cruel. In order to win the beauty back, he had to win at once!
Although the Zhang family used to think that Yu Changfeng was an elegant scholar, they never thought that he would take the county examination. If he succeeded, would his daughter (sister) be worthy of him?
But seeing how much Yu Changfeng cared about his daughter (sister), it didn't seem like he would abandon her. For a while, everyone in the Zhang family was in a dilemma.
After struggling like this, after the county examination, Yu Changfeng treated Chu Yunli as usual, and even sent him a betrothal gift.
The betrothal gift was eighteen pieces in total. In an ordinary family, this betrothal gift was already considered very expensive. Again, the husband's family's concern for the marriage also showed that they cared about the bride. The Yu family's behavior showed that they had no intention of regretting the marriage.
The Zhang family felt slightly relieved, and somewhat expected that Yu Changfeng County would succeed in the test.
Probably because Yu Changfeng lived on Changfu Street, Zhang Wanya had no memory of Yu Changfeng and had never heard of him. Therefore, Chu Yunli didn't know whether he could win or not.
On the day the results were released, the outer city was also quite lively.
Because the houses in the outer city are cheap, the wages for hiring people to help with cleaning and cooking are also much cheaper. Therefore, many scholars from the lower towns, who are short of money, simply live in the outer city. There are scholars living at home.
People are also very concerned about this matter.
Chu Yunli was calm, but Yang and Tian were standing at the door chatting with others. In fact, they were secretly looking forward to it.
In the afternoon, people came here to announce the good news. There were more than a dozen people. When they arrived at the door of Zhang's house, they handed over their hands and said, "I'm so happy, your uncle has won the tenth place. From now on, your girl will be a scholar."
"
Listening to the congratulations from the people around them, Yang and Tian looked in disbelief, "Really?"
After he realized what he was doing, he hurriedly took some copper coins to scatter, and the neighbors also came over to express their congratulations.
Looking at Chu Yunli, who was neither sad nor happy, everyone looked surprised. When she was injured last year, who would have thought that she could marry a scholar and become a scholar's wife?
