"Thank you, Fifth Aunt. I was just worried about where to get red medicine so late at night. I’ll buy you a new bottle tomorrow." "Oh, you child, why are you being polite with your aunt? It’s just a bottle of red medicine. Hurry up and go wipe it on your mom." A bottle of red medicine costs money, and the one Fifth Aunt brought had barely been used. Of course, Lin Xiang didn’t feel right taking it for free. But it wasn’t the best time to debate this issue, so after thanking Fifth Aunt, Lin Xiang took the red medicine to find Mrs. Lin. After applying the red medicine on Mrs. Lin’s scraped wound, Lin Xiang went to find Lin Yun. "This is the red medicine from Fifth Aunt. Brother, you should apply it to your wound first." Lin Xiang firmly grabbed Lin Yun’s right hand and pressed it on his wound, making Lin Yun gasp from the pain. "We’re siblings, not biological but on the same household register, so you don’t have to pretend with me." Lin Yun took the red medicine with a muffled voice, "What happened today was my fault. I didn’t protect you and mom well enough and you both suffered for it." "What are you talking about?" Lin Xiang glared at Lin Yun. "Given the circumstances, you did your best. Mom and I both know that. You don’t need to blame yourself; you’ve done well." "My arm is fine. I can still go to the big market tomorrow." Having just started the business for a day, it couldn’t just stop like that. But Lin Xiang shook her head, "There’s going to be a big event in the village tomorrow, so we won’t be going to the market. We’ll wait a few days and see." Unfortunately, the base sauce she prepared yesterday would spoil if left for a few days and couldn’t be sold again. Even though it’s just a small business, she had to ensure food safety. "It’s late; get some rest. Oh, by the way, don’t go into the main room tonight if you don’t have to." Lin Yun guessed something, glanced at Lin Xiang, but said nothing. The next morning, by the time Lin Xiang got up, Wang Xing had already left. She took the blank introduction letter but left the five yuan Lin Xiang lent her under a cup. Lin Xiang silently put the money away and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. It took more than half an hour by ox cart to get to town, but walking would take at least an hour and a half. Not to mention, it was Wang Xing’s first time in the city, so she would probably spend a lot of time finding the town government, and after causing a scene, it would take more time. By the time it got big, it would probably be afternoon. She couldn’t wait all day. Plus, with Mrs. Lin injured and wronged yesterday, Lin Xiang wanted to make something nice to comfort her. As Lin Xiang was just about to slice the meat, Accountant Xu shouted from outside the courtyard gate, "Lin Xiang, are you up?" "Creak—" Lin Yun opened the door to the woodshed and asked Lin Xiang, "Should I go answer the door?" Coming to find her so early must mean something important. Lin Xiang nodded, "Brother, if Accountant Xu asks about me, just say I was injured by the Wang family yesterday and can’t get out of bed because of leg pain." Then she hunched over and went back to the room. Because the Lin Family courtyard wall wasn’t high, if she walked over normally, Accountant Xu would surely see her, ruining the disguise. Lin Yun waited until the room door closed, paused a little longer, and then went to open the gate. Official source ıs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Inspired by Lin Xiang’s words, he deliberately limped as he walked. When he opened the gate, his right arm was hanging limp. "Accountant Xu, what do you need with Niuzi?" Accountant Xu glanced into the courtyard, "Niuzi isn’t up yet?" Lin Yun put on a stern face, "Yesterday, the Wang family was so aggressive that Niuzi got her legs injured, was in pain all night, and just fell asleep at dawn. If it’s not important, please don’t wake her and let her sleep well." Accountant Xu clapped his hands, "Oh dear, Lin Xiang is too injured to move. What are we going to tell the leaders?" The town probably needed Lin Xiang to act as a translator for foreign guests. It was an important matter, and Lin Yun wasn’t sure what to do right away. "I’ll go ask Niuzi if she can manage." "That would be great. Lin Yun, please tell Lin Xiang that Director Chen called, and he is very anxious." At the door of the room, Lin Yun knocked on the door, "Niuzi, Accountant Xu said Director Chen called, and there’s something urgent." Lin Xiang was a bit surprised. According to the aviation speed of the seventies, Wilson and his party wouldn’t arrive in Hua Country in just two days, right? Plus, their journey would definitely require flying to Ram City first, then taking a train or some other transportation to Ji Province, taking at least five or six days. Could there be other foreign guests coming? "Brother, can you carry me to the brigade office to answer the phone?" Lin Xiang understood the importance of the matter regarding the cotton spinning factory, and she couldn’t delay official matters, but she also couldn’t break the character she maintained, so she had to trouble Lin Yun. Lin Yun didn’t hesitate, and after getting Mrs. Lin’s approval, he went into the room. Mrs. Lin noticed Lin Yun’s arm hanging, "Why are you so badly injured? Was it a bone injury?" "I’m fine." Lin Yun moved his arm, and its flexibility didn’t seem like a bone or muscle injury. "Mom, I’ll carry Niuzi to the brigade office now." Mrs. Lin thought for a while, "No need, I’ll support Niuzi over there. You’re still pretending to be injured; otherwise, people in the village might think we weren’t too hurt yesterday!" So, the three "disabled" members of the Lin Family ventured out together. Lin Xiang and Lin Yun had leg and arm injuries respectively, while Mrs. Lin despite having good arms and legs, had a scraped right cheek, looking more serious than Lin Xiang and Lin Yun. Last night’s commotion was big, and today the villagers were still discussing the Lin and Wang families’ issue. The daughters-in-law of the Wang family, taking advantage of the fact that the Lin Family hadn’t left their home, aggressively spread rumors about them, saying that there was actually nothing wrong, but they kept making a fuss. But seeing the three of them now, not one whole person among them, the Wang family’s words were instantly invalidated. Accountant Xu didn’t expect Lin Xiang to be so seriously injured; her slow pace was comparable to an ant when walking. If this continued, wouldn’t the leaders become impatient? He initially wanted Lin Yun to carry Lin Xiang, but seeing that Lin Yun’s arm was limp too, he brought out a cart, letting Lin Xiang sit on it. Mrs. Lin also plopped down on it. Accountant Xu had no choice but to pull the two of them himself. Along the way, they ran into a number of people, "Mrs. Lin, are you going to town for a doctor visit?" "Visit the doctor, what doctor? Accountant Xu wants Niuzi to answer a call. Her leg is injured, and she can’t walk, so I have to support her." "Wow, answering a call from a leader? Is there another job? But with Niuzi , how will she get to town if she can’t even walk?" Mrs. Lin slapped her thigh, "That’s exactly what I’m worried about!"
