Chapter 406: Old Man Yuan Faints
The town was not far away, so Li Shi didn't mind her own son helping his Aunt with the task.
Liang Shi pursed her lips but didn't argue further.
They quickly made all the arrangements, and Li Shi and Liang Shi went to Li Shi's house to fetch the necessary items. Lu Sixing entered the kitchen and started cooking.
The other villagers in the courtyard looked at each other. They felt like they should leave, but they didn't want to.
Village Chief Fan from Shishi Village heard the news and hurried over. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to go back.
The villagers hesitated but eventually started leaving.
The Yuan family became anxious when they saw the villagers leaving.
They couldn't bear to leave, and the two officials wanted to have a meal here. They couldn't keep waiting indefinitely.
Yuan Laoda, the eldest son, pulled Old Man Yuan aside and whispered a few words in his ear.
Old Man Yuan hesitated but eventually nodded.
In the next moment, his body suddenly stiffened and fell backward.
The villagers who hadn't left yet let out a cry of alarm when they saw this.
Yuan Laoda, raised his voice anxiously, "Father, what's happening to you? Please don't have any problems."
After calling out a few more times, he looked up and shouted in panic, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, come help! Father has fainted."
Yuan Shanchuan furrowed his brow and stood up to look outside.
But before he could step outside, Shu Yu spoke up, "If he has fainted, we should take him to the clinic without delay. However, our family's mule cart is in town, while the officials have a carriage. How about borrowing their carriage?"
The faces of the Yuan family turned pale when they heard this.
They knew that the fainting was staged. If they dared to borrow the officials' carriage and the doctor discovered it, they would all end up in jail.
Yuan Laoda quickly refused, "No, there's no need..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Shu Yu continued, "But it's quite strange. How could a healthy person suddenly faint? Yesterday, my fourth uncle coughed up blood but didn't faint. He was even injured, to begin with."
As soon as she said that, the atmosphere became tense.
Yes, it was strange. How could he faint out of nowhere?
Old Man Yuan had always been in good health, and the weather today wasn't hot enough to cause heatstroke. There was no one pushing or assaulting him either. He just fainted suddenly. Could it be an act?
Shu Yu sighed, "Could it be that he heard about my fourth uncle getting a job at the yamen and regretted severing the ties yesterday? The remorse overwhelmed him, and he fainted out of frustration? That's possible. We should take him to the clinic to be checked. Brother Hu, this is a matter of life, and you are skilled and experienced in driving. Could you please..."
Hu Li knew exactly what Shu Yu was thinking. He was well-versed in such matters. He understood that Old Man Yuan's fainting was suspicious. He immediately stood up and reached for his raincoat, saying, "Alright, I'll go. I happen to know a very skilled doctor. I'll take him to see the old man."
The Yuan family was terrified and supported Old Man Yuan as they retreated.
The ground was slippery, and in their carelessness, Old Man Yuan slipped and fell heavily. The rainwater soaked him completely.
The pain and fear made him cry out. He no longer cared about pretending to be unconscious.
Shu Yu chuckled, "Oh, he's awake now? When my uncle fainted, he couldn't regain consciousness for half an hour."
The onlookers, no longer puzzled, looked at the Yuan family with contempt and mockery.
"It seems that Yuan Shanchuan's rise to power has made him want to establish a relationship with the official family."
