Chapter 183 Awakening
"No, it's so hard to talk to you. I've already said we don't want this brat anymore. Just give us the money back."
"Oh, why should I give you money? We hit the person, and we'll take care of their medical treatment, but we don't have any extra money." Xiao Qinian's unyielding attitude left the man speechless with anger.
He really wanted to go up and beat Xiao Qinian up, but seeing several guards around, he didn't have the guts and could only sulk in silence.
Xiao Siyue almost burst out laughing when she saw this scene. Her father's infuriating appearance was just too funny. The man was so angry that he was practically fuming.
The man could only say helplessly, "I don't want your extra money. Just give me the one hundred taels of silver they owe me, is that alright?"
Xiao Qinian thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, give me the IOU. Do you have a contract of servitude? Give that to me too."
"I only have an IOU, not a contract of servitude. You'll have to pay me first." The man pulled an IOU from his pocket and held it in his hand.
"Laixing, get him the silver," Xiao Qinian instructed Laixing.
"Yes, sir." Lai Xing took the order and handed the man a silver note of one hundred taels. The man kept his promise and gave Lai Xing an IOU.
Xiao Qinian looked at the IOU, and after confirming there were no problems, nodded to the man.
The man turned to the group behind him and said, "Let's go."
Then the group quickly left in the opposite direction from Xiao Qinian and his group.
Once they were out of sight, Xiao Qinian turned his gaze away: "Let's hurry, this girl urgently needs to see a doctor."
The group boarded the carriage and continued their journey.
The woman was placed in another carriage, which was originally intended for several maids, and several maids were there to take care of her.
"Father, did you see how badly that girl was hit?" Xiao Siyue asked Xiao Qinian after getting into the carriage.
"I don't know, but she must have hit her head. We'll have to see a doctor to find out." Xiao Qinian frowned deeply. He had only glanced at it briefly and didn't know anything about it, except that there was a pool of blood flowing from under the girl's head.
"Sigh, I don't know what this girl did to owe money and actually want to use her own daughter to pay off the debt." Lin Qin felt a little bad. She also had a daughter and loved her child very much. No matter how difficult things were, she would never use her child to pay off a debt.
Upon hearing about the girl's plight, I felt a pang of sorrow for her.
The group remained silent, sitting in the carriage.
Because they were carrying a patient, the carriage was faster than before, and soon they arrived at the county clinic.
Lai Xing stopped the carriage and went to the clinic to get the doctor out.
The woman was lifted onto a hospital bed in the clinic, where the doctor examined her.
Xiao Siyue and the others watched from the side.
"Doctor, how is this girl? Is there any hope for her?" Lai Xing asked with a worried expression.
The doctor slowly parted the woman's hair, examined her thoroughly, and then replied to Lai Xing: "It's nothing serious, just a superficial wound with a lot of blood loss. Once she wakes up, she'll need some rest and recuperation."
After the doctor finished speaking, he bandaged the woman's wound and then went to get the medicine.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was alright; otherwise, what would have happened if such a young girl had died?
Lai Xing collapsed to the ground, terrified. If this woman were gone, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. It was all his fault for not paying attention and bumping into her.
After about an hour, the woman on the bed finally slowly opened her eyes.
He seemed a little confused, and when he saw a group of people standing by the bed, he was startled and immediately sat up.
"Who are you? Where am I?" The woman's voice was soft, and her body was trembling slightly; she looked very frightened.
Lin Qin walked up to you and whispered to comfort you, "Don't be afraid. This is a clinic. We accidentally bumped into you and injured you, so we're taking you here for treatment."
Upon hearing this, the woman turned around and looked around, but because her movement was a bit too forceful, she aggravated her injury and immediately gasped in pain.
"Ouch, my head hurts so much!" The woman clutched her injured spot, her expression slightly contorted.
"Hey, don't wander around, you've hurt your head, be careful." Lin Qin quickly pulled the woman back.
After a short while, the pain subsided somewhat, and the woman was able to lift her head.
"What's your name?" Lin Qin asked, looking at the gentle-looking woman in front of her.
"What's my name?" the woman seemed to be asking herself.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Siyue couldn't help but think, "No way, did he hit his head and lose his memory? He even forgot his own name."
However, just as a series of mindless scenarios flashed through Xiao Siyue's mind, the woman spoke again.
"My name is Lü Tong. Thank you for saving me." Lü Tong said, trying to get out of bed to bow to everyone.
Lin Qin quickly stopped her: "Hey, sit still. The doctor said you can't move for now."
"And you don't need to thank us. It's because of us that you got hurt. This is what we should do." Lin Qin didn't hide anything. They had hit the person, so naturally they had to take responsibility.
Upon hearing this, Lü Tong said nothing more.
The atmosphere fell silent instantly, and for a moment, no one knew what to say.
After a while, Lü Tong asked, "Where did those people who were chasing me go?"
“They’ve left, so you don’t need to worry. We’ve redeemed the IOU, so you don’t need to worry about them coming to arrest you anymore,” Lin Qin replied.
"The IOU was returned?" Lu Tong's eyes were filled with shock, followed by joy.
"Thank you, thank you so much. I will definitely repay your great kindness." Lü Tong was very excited, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't get excited, lie down and rest for a while," Lin Qin said, worried that Lu Tong's excitement might cause her wound to reopen.
"Yes, thank you, benefactor." Lu Tong obediently lay down.
Seeing that the person was alright, Lin Qin called a doctor.
"Doctor, can we take them back now?" They can't stay in the clinic forever.
"Well, it's best not to move it for now. Let's take it back in a couple of days," the doctor said.
"Oh, okay then, I'll have to trouble you, doctor," Lin Qin said, having no other choice but to give up.
"Miss Lü, please rest assured and recuperate here. I've left someone to take care of you. Once you're better, I'll have a maid bring you to my residence, and then we can talk." In the end, Lin Qin decided to leave a maid to take care of Lü Tong, and then they would go back first.
"Thank you very much, my benefactor. I will visit you at your residence once I have recovered."
"Alright, then we'll be leaving now."
