Dà Sūn stood at the crossroads, gazing down the road, mumbling to herself.

Sun stood aside and eagerly looked forward.

Hearing this, An calmed down Daguanshi: "It's probably that we haven't prepared everything properly, so we have to stay another day."

Tai Sun shook her head. "That's impossible, he could buy all the necessities for living in just one day."

Mrs. Sun frowned, unable to help but think about the worst-case scenarios.

He wanted to speak but held back, afraid it would bring bad luck.

"Could it be that she met some bad people? Goodness..."

>

Sun's face also changed.

“Sister, it shouldn't be. It’s broad daylight…” Mrs. Sun said.

"Where's Qing'er? Let's go to her place and figure this out. Something just doesn't feel right..." Dà Sūn continued.

Sun said: “Qing'er went to Lao Luo’s house after lunch, saying that she was going to accompany her uncle and aunt to the back mountain to burn incense for their ancestors. She is estimated to be back in the evening.”

>Dà Sun's even more anxious now.

Sun Shi comforted, “Who knows when your brother-in-law might be home? Don’t worry about it, sister. Let’s go home and sit for a while.”

Yang Ruqing had just come down the mountain and entered the village when she met Sun, who was stumbling and running towards her on the road.

"Qing'er, Qing'er..."

Yang Ruqing was laughing and chatting with Wang Cuilian when she suddenly heard Sun Shi's sobbing voice, which startled her.

"Mother, Mother, what's wrong? What happened?"

She rushed three steps and two to Mrs. Sun's side, grasped her arm and asked anxiously.

>

Behind them, Luotiejian and Wang Cuilian also followed.

Mrs. Sun gasped, "Your uncle... your uncle is in trouble..."

On the road, Yang Ruqing learned about the situation from the Sun family.

My eldest brother-in-law went to the county town a long time ago and hasn't come home. The whole family, especially my grandmother and her children, are very worried.

I looked out the window on that road dozens of times in the morning. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

As they were about to return to the courtyard, a carriage came rolling in from town.

Yang Yongjin rushed in a carriage, with Cao Baimei sitting in the back compartment.

Cao Baimei held her younger brother, who was also her cousin.

>

My uncle was covered in wounds.

According to Yang Yongjin, his elder brother-in-law came to town on his own and happened to be standing by the carriage trade area. He just couldn't stand up.

He begged someone to bring a message to Tianxianglou. Yang Yongjin rushed over, and only then was his elder brother-in-law sent back to the village.

When Yang Ruqing rushed into the Sun family's courtyard, the entrance was already crowded with villagers who had come to watch the commotion.

Everyone was whispering to each other.

But the whispers couldn't stop the cries coming from the courtyard.

The cries of the women and girls were all familiar to Yang Ruqing.

Her heart clenched painfully, and she rushed into the room where her grandmother (dà sun shi) and uncle (dài jiu) slept like a gust of wind.

Inside the house, Old Mrs. Sun, Da Suni, Cao Baimei, and Xiaojie were all gathered around the bed.

Everyone wept in a heap.

And on the bed, Uncle was lying there.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He's called my uncle because he was wearing the same clothes he wore when he went to the county town.

Just based on that face alone, it's really hard to tell who they are.

>

Because he had already been beaten into a pig's head, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen with no good flesh left.

"What's going on here?"

Yang Ruoqing asked loudly and quickly walked to the bedside.

A group of women crying by the bed saw Yang Ruqing coming over, as if they had found their pillar of support.

"Qing'er, come and see quickly! Your uncle was beaten by a bad person!"

>

"Big Sun wiped her tears while angrily saying, 'Make way for Yang Ruoqing!'"

Yang Ruqing leaned down, said nothing, and first checked her uncle's injuries.

There were obvious signs of someone slapping her face.

His head was injured, though it no longer bled. Dried blood clots remained in his hair.

His arms were covered in bruises and scratches, clearly the result of being dragged across the ground.

Yang Ruqing's eyes burned with anger, which bubbled up inside her.

"Big uncle, is there anywhere else on your body that hurts?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Uncle was lying there, humming.

Hearing her words, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "My stomach doesn't hurt, it's just that my chest feels a little tight..."

Yang Ruqing hurriedly pulled open the collar of his shirt.

There was a swelling on his chest, clearly the result of someone grabbing his collar and punching him.

My god, the person who did this is too cruel.

This is a rhythm that's going to kill people!

"Mother, please get the medicine chest from under my bed." Yang Ruqing said in a low voice.

"Auntie, don't cry. Go get a basin of hot water. Let's treat your brother's wounds first and then talk about other things."

Yang Ruqing gave instructions in an orderly manner, and everyone sprung into action.

She treated her uncle's wounds, stopping the bleeding where it needed to be stopped, applying anti-inflammatory medicine where necessary, and promoting blood circulation.

After taking care of all that, Uncle seemed a little bit better.

It was only then that she began to ask about the ins and outs of her uncle's affair.

My elder brother-in-law drank some water and said with a look of grief and anger: "When I got to the county town, I found an inn to stay in."

The inn was packed, with many people speaking foreign accents.

"As there were no single rooms available, I stayed in a large dormitory at the back."

"Lying next to me was a man who had come from out of town. They were a group of five or six, all big and strong."

"At night when I was sleeping, one of them came to touch under my pillow trying to steal my money."

Here is the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“My money was all in my pocket, he didn't touch it and then came to grope me, I woke up.”

>

“When he was caught, he became fierce and started hitting me.”

“He and five or six other people came over and beat me up...”

Uncle one's face was full of grief and indignation.

Their eyes were bloodshot.

As a man, being bullied like this with no power to fight back.

This indignation is unbearable!

On the sidelines, Yang Huazhong and old man Yang Yongjin were also red with anger.

>

Moreover, Da Sun was so angry that she stamped her foot and cursed.

"Those goddamn animals, they did bad things and beat people."

"My father-in-law, Da Jie, is such an honest and straightforward man; he never argues with anyone."

“They’re bullying him because he’s alone and small. It’s just not right…”

As Da Shunshi scolded and scolded, she burst into tears.

Feeling sorry for my man, but I can't help him much. Please note: The content within the <<<>>>tags was empty. I have only returned the HTML tag as requested. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sun shi wiped her tears and came over to pull Da Sun shi aside to persuade her.

>

Here, Yang Ruqing frowned and then questioned her elder brother-in-law: "Were they robbed of the money?"

Uncle said: "It's all gone."

“I hurried in a carriage, but they smashed it and took my horse.”

They said I falsely accused them of being thieves, ruining their reputation, and that I should pay them compensation.

"Within three days, if you don't bring twenty taels of silver, they will sell the horse!" Uncle fiercely said.

"What?"

Grandma Sun cried out in astonishment again.

“This is a clear case of the guilty party making accusations first, taking advantage of others too much, abusing their power!”
