Chapter 268: Young Aunt’s Words (5)
The brigade leader, Wang Mingtao, already told them what happened earlier on, thus Gu Qingyao knew that Li Dahai actually admitted that the Gu family beat him up. Chen Feng told her some things and she understood that the Li family wanted to trick Li Dahai into staying in the Gu’s so that her young aunt could take care of him and their family would be reunited.
Li Dahai certainly hoped to be able to get back together with her young aunt and Nie Jiao must have said many things to him.
No matter how Li Dahai thinks and whether he was tricked by Nie Jiao, he did accuse and put the charge on the Gu family.
He helped his brothers and sisters-in-law slander the Gu family.
This was sufficient to arouse Gu Qingyao’s anger.
Not only was this fellow dim-witted, but he also turned out to be such a person. He needs to be punished!
Gu Yunshen discussed with them for a while before coming to check on Li Dahai’s injuries.
Wang Mingtao said, “When did he get these injuries?”
Gu Yunshen replied, “Around yesterday evening.”
Li Dajiang immediately jumped. “I already said it’s the Gu family…”
“Shut up!” Wang Mingtao shouted furiously.
Gu Yunshen continued speaking, “His right leg is fractured and extremely swollen. This is because it was left untreated for a long time and also because of the freezing weather. His clothes are all soaked and he has severe frostbite. This leg…”
Gu Yunshen did not finish his sentence and left Wang Mingtao to take over.
Wang Mingtao looked at Li Dajiang. “Your fourth younger brother has such serious injuries, but why aren’t they treated yet till now? He was injured yesterday evening, but why are you all only here now?”
Li Dajiang froze completely.
Wang Mingtao said, “How did you all find him? Since you all said that it’s the Gu family who beat him, he has no way of walking back by himself in this state and it’s not plausible for the Gu family to send him back. Where did you all find him?”
Li Dajiang could not answer.
At this instant, someone suddenly ran in and shouted, “Leader, don’t believe him. The Lis are lying. Li Dahai fell when he was on his way back home. I saw it with my own eyes.”
Gasps were heard in the surrounding.
Everyone looked at the door, where a man rushed in. It was Zhao Tian, a male from the Qing River Brigade who appeared about thirty over years old.
Zhao Tian dashed in. “Leader, did the Lis say that Li Dahai was beaten up by the Gu family and wants the Gu family to pay for the medical fee?”
Before Wang Mingtao could say anything, Zhao Tian hurriedly said, “That’s not true. Li Dahai fell by himself. He already fell when he was on the way back home yesterday evening. Zheng Xiao’er from the Poplar Brigade passed by this morning and saw him screaming for help so Zheng Xiao’er carried him back to the Li family’s house.
“I happened to see it when I was visiting my relatives. When they were in the Li family’s house, Li Dahai even said it’s because he fell. But the Li family discussed carrying him over to stir trouble for the Gu family and claim that it’s the Gu family who beat him up. In this case, they could get a huge sum of medical fees.
“Li Dahai was missing yesterday night. When he was carried back to the Li family’s house, the Lis did not find him a doctor and immediately carried him over after their discussion without even giving him warm water to drink.”
“You’re spouting nonsense!” Li Dajiang was enraged.
“I am not. It was Zheng Xiao’er of the Poplar Brigade who carried him back but many people in the Poplar Brigade saw it. Leader, you can send someone to ask them. I’m not lying.”
Wang Mingtao smiled. “Since that’s the case, you all can leave then! Our brigade still has many things to do and have no time to waste on you all. If you all are dissatisfied, I will have to report to the higher authorities then. By then, the Dawn Commune…”
