Luo Yang really wanted to slap Yu Xianghai to death.
After glaring at Yu Xianghai for a while, he averted his gaze and continued, "I came here to talk about the injured person. I can cure his illness."
At this moment, Cheng Nan stepped forward.
"He truly understands medicine," Cheng Nan praised.
Since Cheng Nan had been quiet until then, everyone was surprised when he suddenly spoke up in support of Luo Yang.
"Village chief, you're not being reasonable," Yu Baiqiang said coldly.
As the village chief of Xingang Brigade, openly praising a young man from a rival village was something Yu Baiqiang found very hard to comprehend.
The other villagers also found Cheng Nan's behavior very strange.
"He's the one who cured my illness," Cheng Nan said gratefully.
Upon hearing the village chief say this, those present were even more shocked.
Cheng Nan continued, "Old Yu, doesn't your wife suffer from rheumatoid arthritis? You should let him have a look."
Yu Baiqiang flatly refused, "If I'm seeking someone for treatment, I won't choose someone from the Hongyun Brigade!"
The atmosphere became tense again.
Luo Yang knew he needed to offer something practical to calm the people down, so he said, "The medical expenses for the injured person will be covered by our Hongyun Brigade, rest assured. Someone will go to the hospital to pay the bills tonight."
Sure enough, as he expected, the aggressive behavior of the crowd diminished significantly.
"How about we find a place tomorrow to talk more about this?" Luo Yang suggested.
"You guys from the Hongyun Brigade pay the medical expenses first. We'll talk about the compensation later!"
After finishing his piece, Yu Baiqiang left.
Most of the other young men followed him.
Luo Yang could accept this outcome.
Before coming, he hadn't expected to deal with Yu Baiqiang on friendly terms.
Cheng Xin approached and said, "Niu Zai, don't rush. Take it slow. With this intention, we will try our best to help you fulfill your wish."
Cheng Nan then said, "You guys go back first. We'll talk about this tomorrow."
He was worried that Yu Xianghai might gather more villagers to seek revenge on Luo Yang, which could potentially lead to fatalities.
"Uncle Cheng, Sister Cheng, I'll head back to the village first. Call me if there's anything. After I return, I will send someone to deliver the medical expenses to the hospital," Luo Yang said as he took his leave.
"Let me drive you back. Just wait, I'll bring the car around," Cheng Xin suggested.
"No need. I have a car. Heading to the village entrance is fine," Luo Yang declined politely.
Just then, Luo Yang saw Yu Wang seemingly wanting to say something.
"Big Brother Yu, when you're free, let's learn from each other," Luo Yang said.
"Great! Great!" Yu Wang nodded.
An exchange of skills between experts was naturally very exciting.
Yu Wang was defeated by Luo Yang and was utterly convinced of his defeat.
As he walked towards the village entrance, Luo Yang made a phone call to Tang Guihua, asking her to drive over.
Walking alongside Hong Jiaxin, Luo Yang asked, "Squad leader, was tonight exhilarating?"
Hong Jiaxin responded indifferently, "You're quite capable."
She rarely praised others because of her competitive nature, refusing to easily admit someone was better than her.
This was her genuine admiration for Luo Yang's abilities.
"Squad leader, let me tell you, at that moment, I was..." Luo Yang said as he wrapped his arm around Hong Jiaxin's shoulders.
The scent of her skin wafted into his nostrils, wow, so fragrant!
"Just say it, why are you hugging me? Trying to flirt again?" Hong Jiaxin chided playfully.
"Squad leader, you misunderstand. It's just so we can speak softly while walking together, and you can still hear me, right?" Luo Yang explained.
Hong Jiaxin just hummed softly.
Luo Yang then said, "Squad leader, touch my heart, see if it's beating too fast?"
Hong Jiaxin scoffed, "An Yuying might fall for that, but I certainly won't!"
She saw through him, and Luo Yang chuckled.
"Dare to tease me again, and see if I don't wallop you!" Hong Jiaxin brushed away Luo Yang's hand.
"Squad leader, how could I dare? This fabric of your dress is really nice. It would be even better if there was a pocket here..."
Just as Luo Yang was about to stretch out his hand to motion, Hong Jiaxin elbowed him.
Luo Yang laughed and dodged it.
After that, Hong Jiaxin chased Luo Yang all the way to the village entrance.
Tang Guihua's car was already parked there, with its headlights on.
Seeing Hong Jiaxin chasing after Luo Yang, An Yuying felt quite jealous.
Luo Yang ran around the car, laughing, "Sister An, quick, open the door."
So, An Yuying opened the door to the right rear seat of the car, cooing, "Niu Zai, Jiaxin, what are you two up to now?"
The door opened, and Luo Yang quickly scrambled into the back seat.
"Sister An, the squad leader wants to beat me up," Luo Yang said with a laugh after sitting down.
"You guys judge for yourselves," Hong Jiaxin also chased into the back seat.
Once the car door was closed, she told Tang Guihua and An Yuying everything that had happened on the road.
Tang Guihua sympathized, saying, "Niu Zai does deserve a beating. Jiaxin, let's give him a proper lesson when we get back. He also..."
She stopped mid-sentence.
An Yuying knew from the word "also" that Luo Yang had also touched Tang Guihua's blouse, and her jealousy intensified.
"Bad Niu Zai, bad, bad Niu Zai..."
While she playfully scolded, she lightly punched Luo Yang's shoulder with her little powder fist, ever so gently.
Luo Yang gently patted An Yuying's thigh as a gesture of consolation.
"Sister An, I meant nothing else by it, just wanted to check out your clothes, see what kind of fabric it is. Sister An, your dress..."
"Bad Niu Zai, touching me again, I'm getting angry here," An Yuying quickened her light punches on Luo Yang's shoulder.
"Sister An, I was just touching your clothes," Luo Yang explained.
"Still not admitting it. I want to hit you too."
An Yuying's punches were comfortable, but Hong Jiaxin's little powder fists packed some force.
"Squad leader, don't hit me," Luo Yang had to turn around to handle Hong Jiaxin.
His back to An Yuying, it was as if she was helping him massage his back.
"I can't stand by, I have to come to the rescue," Hong Jiaxin's punches came faster and faster.
"Squad leader, go easy."
Luo Yang's right palm reached out, cutting through Hong Jiaxin's pair of little powder fists.
"You! I'm going to kill you!" Hong Jiaxin suddenly felt pressure on her chest and looked down to see Luo Yang's hand.
Seeing his sly smile, she furiously pummeled him.
An Yuying and Tang Guihua didn't see what happened, but hearing Hong Jiaxin get angry, they both asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Yang answered for Hong Jiaxin, "It's nothing."
As he spoke, he caught her fists coming at him, consoling, "Squad leader, I didn't mean to. I was just trying to block your punches."
Hong Jiaxin bit her lip, "Dare to touch my chest, I'm going to kill you!"
By then, Tang Guihua and An Yuying both knew what had happened, An Yuying cooed, "Bad Niu Zai, why are you touching Jiaxin's chest, I want to hit you too."
Tang Guihua also jealously chimed in, "Sisters, we can't let him get away with this, he's always messing with our chests, we need to teach him a lesson tonight."
Hearing this order, Luo Yang gave a wry smile, "Sister An, Sister Guihua, squad leader, I'm very pure. I've never thought about anything."
Hearing him say that, the three beauties burst into laughter.
"Bad Niu Zai, I want to hit you too. Just want to hit you," An Yuying said, but couldn't bear to strike hard, still gently punching Luo Yang's back.
She gave it her all, fearing she might hurt Luo Yang.
Actually, even her full force wouldn't hurt him.
