Chapter 97 - Where Were You?

Then Yu Dong turned to Zhu Qian who was crying and lightly joked " you should stop crying as well, your daughter is now awake and it looks like she will get well soon. So stop sobbing like that or I am afraid we have to take you to the doctor along with your wife and daughter well"

" that's right, don't cry father. From now on no one will bully you! I and mother will protect you, whoever bullies you will get punched by Ru'er!" said Lang Ru though she spoke childishly, the little girl was really mature for her age she understood that her father was bullied by people while he was working and that was quite upsetting for her. She didn't want her father to be bullied! 

" that's right from now on we will protect father together" though Lang was leaning against the carriage because of her broken leg and could only limp around for now. She swore to get stronger in the future, she could no longer stay as she was or else her husband and daughter would be bullied again! She looked at Yu Dong who despite her petite figure could take down three thugs in a go and determined herself to learn from her in the future! 

The Lang couple together with Yu Dong went inside the tavern and retrieved all their belongings. Though their belongings only had a few tattered clothing and a few blankets, they were all they had and couldn't leave it behind. 

After everything was packed up Yu Dong suggested taking Lang to the medicine hall to which Lang resolutely refused. Yu Dong had bought her family for twenty taels and she was their master now, how can a master waste her hard-earned money on her slave? However, Yu Dong put down her foot and said that if Lang does not get better it will be nothing but a loss for her after all the longer she stayed in bed the longer it will take for her to work for her. Lang understood her good intentions and didn't refuse anymore.

Because Yu Dong and the Lang family were troubled by her sister in law, Qiao Sha let them borrow the carriage of her family which Yu Dong gladly took as Lang Ru was still weak and Lang had a broken leg. On the way to the doctor's, Yu Dong asked Lang to drink some of the spiritual water as well so that the pace of her injuries healing would increase. 

The doctor at the medicine hall checked both Lang and Lang Ru's nerves and was shocked at the result. This mother-daughter pair's healing ability was really good! The daughter when she checked her last time was on the verge of losing her breath but went to a coma because of a high fever but somehow still managed to survive beyond all odds. Similarly, the mother's leg seemed to have been hit with something heavy before being squashed, if it was any normal person he or she would have lost their leg! But Lang's leg was completely fine the broken bone could still be saved! 

All of these was nothing less than a miracle, the doctor couldn't help but doubt that something was up with the Lang family's mother-daughter pair but she was a doctor with ethics. She squelched her doubts and didn't ask anything. The family looked poor and by the looks of it, they were even slaves to the woman who brought them here. 

After the doctor gave her permission, Yu Dong took the Lang family with her. Because the carriage belonged to Qiao Sha, the seats were cushioned with a thick layer of bedding and Yu Dong who was sitting beside the driver asked her to drive the carriage as slowly as she could but the bumpy undeveloped roads of the village were still a lot troublesome to be driven on. So, both Lang and Lang Ru have to suffer a bit but luckily they had drunk the water Yu Dong gave them and every once in a while Yu Doing would direct her spiritual energy to them.  Thus, Lang and Lang Ru didn't find the journey as troublesome as they thought. 

The sky had turned completely dark by the time Yu Dong and the others returned to the village. In the distance as they got near her house she could see three figures standing outside, one was pacing in the courtyard while the other was rocking a crying baby, and the other one had already rushed out of the door as soon as he saw her return. Who can they be? But her husbands. 

Only now did Yu Doing realise that she was really late today and worried her husbands.

"Where were you? Why didn't you come earlier? We were so worried! Even Little bun is crying because he couldn't see his mother for so long!" generally Shen Li would never scold Yu Dong but today she really tested his patience! Just last night, she was attacked by Qiu Bai and then went to the town not listening to what, they had to say. And then didn't return for the entire day! Shen Li was going mad with worry as each hour passed by, he thought that Qiu Bai got hold of his wife and only God knows how many thoughts he had in just a single hour much less the entire day. 

Chen Mi was so scared that he almost fainted and Ye Liu nearly took off to fight with Qiu Bai. Only Shen Li knew how he supported the two while worrying like a headless fly. He couldn't even show his own fears or else the other two would have gotten even more scared. If Yu Dong didn't return by now he would have gone crazy! 

Yu Dong was really guilty because she got herself entangled in this or that he completely forgot about time and got home late. When she heard Little bun cry so pitifully, she hurriedly jumped and rushed to take him in her arm, Little bun who have missed his mother's warm embrace finally calmed down after being hugged by his mother and hiccupped before stopping his brawling. 

Coaxing Little bun was easy but she looked up and her gaze met with her three angry husbands and she swallowed before raising her hand in surrender..  Whatever she couldn't win this one.
