Chapter 101: 101 Getting such a grandson is so exhausting (first update)

A nearby stream, not too deep nor too shallow, stirred up a flurry of water droplets.

Then came a woman’s sharp cry of pain.

At that moment, in the yard, Liu An was studying his herbs with reading glasses on when he heard a woman’s scream not far away. He dropped everything and rushed toward the source of the noise.

Ye Cheng was staring at the woman in the water with bloodshot eyes, clenching his fists. He looked as if Su Xiaotao were a monster and he, a Heavenly God about to subdue the evil, his punch undoubtedly intended to bring silence.

Seeing Ye Cheng’s state, Liu An pulled out a Silver Needle and struck it into Ye Cheng’s neck. Ye Cheng’s eyes immediately shut, and his body rigidly fell to the ground.

Liu An made sure he was put to bed at home, then hurried to the creek, looking worried, "Miss, are you alright?"

Su Xiaotao had no idea what had transpired; she felt as though she’d been thrown out, skimming across the sky and plunging directly into the creek.

The ordeal was terrifying. Had it not been for the nearby stream, had she fallen to the bottom of a slope or onto rocks, would she have been dead?

She tried to get up, only to find she couldn’t move. Her foot seemed broken, and she...

She tried to move and found herself completely immobilized, pain drilling through her with every attempt, leaving her unable to move and bursting into tears, "Wah"

She was disabled now; her foot was broken.

Hearing her crying, Liu An felt helpless. Miss, if you were fine, why provoke my boy?

He went down into the water to lift the girl from the creek.

Then he found two villagers to carry her back home.

Hu Xiulan was chatting at the entrance to the village and, seeing two people carrying a completely drenched person, commented, "Who’s that? Did they have a fall this early in the morning?"

Su Xiaofeng was about to head to the fields when she saw the person being carried, squinting her eyes, "Is that Su Xiaotao? What happened to her? Didn’t want to marry Liu An, tried to commit suicide, and didn’t succeed?"

"Aren’t that your Xiaotao? What happened to her?" Zhang Meihua glanced over, looking strangely at Hu Xiulan. How could Hu Xiulan not recognize her own daughter? As obvious as it was this time, she still couldn’t identify her.

"Xiaotao." When Hu Xiulan saw clearly that it was her girl, her vision darkened, "What happened to you?"

Su Xiaotao, with tears streaming down her face, sobbed, "Mom—"

Liu An came forward full of guilt, "Xiaotao’s mom, I am really sorry. This Miss Xiaotao she came—"

"Mom, I wasn’t feeling well this morning and wanted Liu An to take a look. As I was walking by the creek, a snake suddenly emerged from the bushes, startling me, and I fell right into the creek. Why am I so unlucky?" Su Xiaotao hastily spoke, fearful that Liu An would mention her seeking out Doctor Ye.

She was already betrothed to Liu An, and if it got out that she was trying to pursue Doctor Ye, Liu An definitely wouldn’t let her off easily.

Liu An, listening to Su Xiaotao’s explanation, was surprised but understood, "That’s right, I heard the noise and rushed over. She has a broken leg bone, but I’ve already fitted a splint. She needs to rest at home for two months."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiulan exploded, "I told you not to get too close to Su Xiaofeng. You just wouldn’t listen. Look now, all her bad luck has transferred to you."

Such a thing happened just from going to see a doctor.

Taozi’s wedding was scheduled for a month later, and with a broken leg now, it would definitely need to be postponed.

"Mom, I understand, and I’ll try to keep my distance from her in the future." All of this indeed seemed to be Su Xiaofeng’s fault. If it weren’t for Su Xiaofeng’s apparent feelings for Doctor Ye, how could she herself have ended up seeking Doctor Ye?

Had she not gone to find Doctor Ye, she surely wouldn’t have ended up with a broken leg.

Just thinking about Doctor Ye made her quiver uncontrollably.

Liu An said that Doctor Ye didn’t like women touching him; any woman who did would be thrown away subconsciously.

Doctor Ye appeared to be a decent man normally, so how could he be so violent? It was horrifying. She would never get close to Doctor Ye again—it was just too frightening.

If Su Xiaofeng truly fancied Doctor Ye, why not let her pursue him, allowing Su Xiaofeng to see for herself the true nature of the man she wished to marry?

That’s right, it would serve Su Xiaofeng best to cling to Doctor Ye and not marry anyone else. If that happened, Su Xiaofeng’s fate would surely not be better than her own.

Considering that Su Xiaofeng might end up miscarried or half-paralyzed from being thrown, Su Xiaotao desperately wished Su Xiaofeng would stick to Doctor Ye now.

"Liu An, my daughter might have been injured on the way to your house. All things considered, the road to your house must be to blame. Otherwise, how could a healthy person just fall into the river?" Hu Xiulan eyed her daughter, calculating the inevitable medical expenses.

No matter what, less is better.

Liuye continued, "You’re right, that path really is hard to manage. The main road is easier to travel on, so from now on, anyone coming to my house for medical treatment should take the main road."

That small path was rarely walked by anyone, and even if someone did pass there, as long as they didn’t touch Acheng, nothing would happen.

Acheng had been living here for three years and had never had an episode.

And Xiaotao, why did she have to get so close to Acheng and even try to hold his hand? Acheng’s hand is not for you to hold.

Upon hearing Liuye’s words, Hu Xiulan felt like cursing.

Liuye added, "It’s indeed our fault this time. We shouldn’t have been keeping snakes in the medicinal herb field. Everyone knows that every part of these snakes is valuable. We’re doctors, and we occasionally keep some for medical purposes. Scaring Xiaotao was not right. I will not charge for the medical expenses."

Upon hearing this, everyone chilled to the bone: "You’ve been keeping snakes?"

My goodness, what kind of people are they?

"Yes, we’ve kept a few for medical uses," Liuye waved his hand, "but don’t worry, they are usually well-behaved and stay in their own space. They won’t bother anyone. Just walk on the main road as usual. As for the path next to our medicinal plot, don’t walk there. It can be dangerous."

Xiaotao was bewildered by what Liuye said about the snakes, a tale she had fabricated. Could it be that there really were snakes in the field? Were there snakes or not?

Snake or no snake, she would definitely stay miles away from Doctor Ye in the future.

As for other girls, whoever isn’t afraid of dying can go ahead.

"Now that Liuye has mentioned it, we know what to do. In the future, we’ll try our best to avoid the small path," said the villagers once they heard about the snakes in the field, their scalps going numb.

They resolved in their hearts that they would definitely not take the small path in the future. God forbid they encounter one or two poisonous snakes—that could cost a life.

Upon hearing that Liuye would not be charging for medical expenses, Hu Xiulan was somewhat satisfied. Indeed, it was their snakes, and they should be responsible for the treatment if something happened. If it weren’t for the fact that the grandparents and grandchild were doctors, she would demand compensation.

Look at what happened to her daughter.

Xiaotao, because her clothes were wet, kept saying she was cold, so Hu Xiulan had to go home to help her change. Before leaving, Xiaotao glanced at Xiaofeng and smiled lightly, "Xiaofeng, I think my handkerchief might have dropped at Doctor Ye’s house. Could you go and get it for me?"

Since Xiaofeng wanted to hook up with Doctor Ye, as a good friend, she naturally had to create the opportunity, right?

Xiaofeng’s lips curled into a smile that was both mocking and amused.

"I’ve brought it here; is this the one?" Liuye pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, "It dropped in my field, and I picked it up."

Xiaotao: "..."

Liuye turned and waved, "It’s all right now; everyone can go back. Generally, there wouldn’t be any trouble. Have we had any problems these three years, right?"

It’s all Acheng, this kid, sigh, worrying to death.

"We should all be more careful," said the villagers who could neither applaud nor criticize Liuye for keeping snakes. After all, he was a doctor, and occasionally using them for medicinal purposes wasn’t too outrageous.

Liuye glanced at Xiaofeng, "Girl, are you going down to the fields? Let’s go together since it’s on the way."

Xiaofeng did not respond but followed behind Liuye.

"Girl, don’t be scared; you are still safe on the small path. Look, didn’t you end up unharmed last time?" As long as she didn’t touch Acheng, nothing would happen.

"Liuye," Xiaofeng spoke softly, "Was it Acheng who caused Xiaotao’s fall?"

Last time after Ye Cheng had an episode, Liuye had rushed to find her, probably fearing she would end up like Xiaotao, but she was fine.

Liuye looked at the cloudless blue sky, stroked his few white whiskers on his chin, and sighed lightly. "Several years ago, Ye Cheng had a brain injury. Since then, if a woman touches him or comes too close, he will have an attack. In mild cases, he throws people away; in severe cases, he causes serious injuries."

Having such a grandson, Liuye expressed how exhausting it was.

"You mean, Xiaotao—?"

Could it be that Xiaotao tried to approach Ye Cheng, which triggered his outburst, causing him to throw her out?
