Old Lady Bai had never seen Bai Dazhu speak to her ferociously as if he wanted to eat her. So at this moment, she was very shocked.

How did things become like this? Her second son changed in a completely different person, and now her older son had also changed? He was her favorite son.

Seeing the old lady like this, Mrs. Liu busily said: “Niang, he didn’t yell at you intentionally. He is in pain and feeling uncomfortable. He is depressed that he can’t do anything. Niang, don’t care about his words too much.”

Although Old Lady Bai was sad deep inside her heart, she didn’t take it to heart. Bai Dazhu never yelled at her before, he was very respectful at ordinary times. Today, he definitely didn’t mean it. He was her son, so why will she care so much about this.

Old Lady Bai said to Bai Dazhu: “Dazhu, it’s not that I don’t want to look for a doctor to treat you. You also know the situation at home. I only have a few pieces of money at hand, it will not be enough for consultation fee and treatment. I’ll go to the Hu Family and asked for an explanation. When we get the money, I’ll look for a doctor to treat you right away. Just bear with it for a while, we will come back soon.”

Bai Dazhu wanted to scold his mother, but he swallowed the words he wanted to say. He helplessly nodded his head and said: “Go now and hurry back, I don’t want to be disabled.”

Old Lady Bai was both anxious and angry inside her heart. She was anxious to save her son, but she was also angry because he always goes looking for trouble. He always broke her hands or legs. The silver coins she saved for many years were only spent on him.

Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu hurriedly went to the Hu Family’s house. When they saw the gate was closed and locked, Old Lady Bai immediately cursed in anxiousness: “Hu Changlin, get out of here now. You dare to hurt people, but your hiding inside your house? I’m telling you, you’ll not get away with this easily.”

While Old Lady Bai was cursing, two villagers passed by. One of them said: “If you are looking for Old Hu, their family went out with their carriage.”

Old Lady Bai’s face drastically changed: “Went out? Where did they go? Where is Zhao Lan? Did she go too?”

The young man nodded his head: “Mmm, the carriage is full. Hu Changlin, Zhao Lan, Bai Zhi, Zhou Awu and his family also came.”

Mrs. Liu asked: “Where did they go?”

The young man shook his head: “I don’t know. I saw them going out of the village. They should be going to town.”

Old Lady Bai kicked the gate of the Hu Family: “Good, very good Hu Changlin. You run away after hurting someone. Do you think this old lady will let you run? If you have the skill, then don’t ever come back here for a lifetime.”

The young man replied: “Old Lady Bai, I also saw what happened at that time. It was your son Bai Dazhu you made the first move. Zhou Awu didn’t do anything at all. It was very weird, he fell on the ground and then broke his arms.”

The other villager answered with a smile: “What so weird about it? Didn’t Dazhu break his arms when he fought with Hu Feng before? His arms simply haven’t completely healed yet, and so he broke it when he fell. But  speaking about it, it’s really weird, from the beginning until the end, Dazhu is very fierce, but Zhou Awu didn’t touch him.”

Mrs. Liu felt very uncomfortable inside her heart when she heard those words: “You’re saying he was fierce, don’t you know how honest my Dazhu is? When did he ever become rude to the people in the village? You are just talking nonsense here. You talk badly with my Dazhu, why? Can you get benefits to Hu Family if you do that? You are really funny.” Mrs. Liu really wanted to tear the mouths of these two villagers into pieces.
