The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune! - Chapter 42
42 Getting Whatever Possible
Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes were cold as she glared at the two old ladies and stood in front of Zhang Lan to protect her.
As soon as Sun Er and Wang Gou saw Zhou Xiaoli, they immediately pointed at her and cried out.
“Mother, Mother, it’s this little b*tch. She’s the one who framed me!”
“Yes, it’s her! She caused me to be beaten up!”
Zhou Xiaoli sneered. The epitome of the thief crying out thief!
A thief that only knows how to bully the weak.
They could not afford to offend the mayor and were also afraid of Wei Chiyu, so they came to pick on someone weak like her?
She sneered in her heart. “I framed you? The mayor handed you over to the Police himself, and now you’re saying that I framed you? Are you saying that the mayor was wrong?”
…..
The two of them immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to continue yelling out lies.
Zhou Xiaoli raised her voice. “Everyone, be reasonable. Sun Er and Wang Gou lied to the mayor and tried to cheat him of the bounty. Fortunately, the mayor was sharp enough to see through their lies, so he handed them over to the Police and sent them to the magistrate office.”
“So, I have nothing to do with you being punished. Since you came to my house to cause trouble now, I can report you to the Police!”
After hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s words, the surrounding onlookers finally understood what was going on.
“Tsk tsk, the Wang and Sun families made such a ruckus. I was wondering what the Zhou family did to them. It turns out that they went for wool and came home shorn. They deserved to be beaten up!”
“That’s right. Sun Er and Wang Gou are two devils incarnate. They had never worked a day in their life and made trouble all day long. I think being beaten is a light punishment for them. How do they have the cheek to find trouble with the Zhou family now!”
The accusations from the onlookers made the Wang and Sun families’ anger subside.
Sun Er gritted his teeth and glared at Zhou Xiaoli.
He could no longer say that Zhou Xiaoli had framed him. That would make it seem that the mayor was in the wrong then.
Was his punishment for nothing?
He immediately suppressed his anger.
In his anger, he punched the stretcher. His wounds immediately hurt and he cried out in pain.
“Aiyo, Mother, it hurts!”
Hearing her son scream in pain,
Madam Zhu was immediately enraged. She couldn’t care less about the pain in her stomach from Zhou Xiaoli’s kick and wanted to tear Zhou Xiaoli apart.
“Little wh*re! What nonsense are you spouting? I’ll beat you to death today!”
However, right at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded from the crowd, followed by a bang.
Hearing the sound, Zhou Xiaoli paused. When she looked over, her eyes immediately filled with blood.
Zhou Yu had fallen from the roof…
“Zhou Yu!”
Zhang Lan screamed and rushed over.
The surroundings instantly fell silent.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu was lying in a pool of blood with his eyes closed. He did not have any reaction.
Zhang Lan rushed over and knelt at the side. Her hands were open and hovering above his body but she did not dare to touch him.
“Zhou Yu, don’t scare me. Don’t scare me. Wake up, wake up.”
Zhang Lan’s shrill and yet desperate voice sounded in the courtyard, making one’s heart tighten.
Upon seeing this scene, the males of the Sun and Wang families immediately began to distance themselves.
“It wasn’t me. He fell by himself!”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s not us. He was anxious and jumped down. It’s none of our business!”
…
At that time, almost everyone’s eyes were on Zhou Xiaoli and the others. No one had seen what actually happened.
At this moment, Wei Chiyu and the others had already returned.
Zhou Junjun and Zhou Xiaoyu were stunned by the scene in front of them. They sat at the side and cried until they were out of breath.
Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes reddened. At this moment, Zhou Yu was on the verge of death, so she couldn’t take revenge on the Sun and Wang families for the time being.
She threw the broom away and rushed over. She knelt at the side and grabbed Zhou Yu’s wrist.
“Father, Father, how are you? Hang in there.”
Zhou Xiaoli mumbled, but her hand was still on his pulse. After confirming that there were still signs of life, she hurriedly called out, “Mother, don’t cry. Let’s take Father to see the doctor first!”
At this moment, the surrounding people were still stunned at what they were seeing.
Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s words, the village chief and Liu Liangcai immediately came back to their senses. “Yes, yes, yes. Let’s take him to see the doctor first! Donkey cart! Let’s quickly unload the things on the donkey cart and use the donkey cart to move him quickly!”
Zhou Yu’s leg was broken. No one knew if he had injured his ribs as well and if that’s the case, he would not be able to withstand the violent bumps on the road.
Zhou Xiaoli immediately said, “There’s no need for the donkey cart. It’s too bumpy. I’m afraid Father won’t be able to take it.”
The village chief slapped his forehead. “That’s right, that’s right. Let’s use a stretcher. Quick, get the stretcher out!”
With that, he called a few strong men to come forward and lifted Sun Er off the stretcher, replacing him with Zhou Yu.
A life was at stake. This time, no one refused. Even the Sun family did not dare to say anything.
If death were to happen, they would be sued in court!
The more they thought about it, the more afraid they became. The Wang and Sun families shrank back and did not dare to make a sound.
Seven or eight burly men in the village took turns carrying Zhou Yu towards Dazhuang Village.
After experiencing all this, Zhang Lan also fainted. The house was in a complete mess.
Fortunately, the village chief’s wife stayed behind to help take care of Zhang Lan and the two frightened children.
Zhou Xiaoli followed them to Dazhuang Village.

“Alas!”
Physician Feng shook his head and sighed. “One of his legs was broken. Fortunately, I’ve managed to realign it. If he is able to recuperate well for a month, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to get out of bed and walk normally.”
“It’s just that.” Then, he sighed. “Your father’s head was injured previously. This time, he fell and injured his head again. I’m afraid it’s not optimistic. When you go home, you’ll have to think of a way to pour the medicine down his throat. If he doesn’t wake up by tomorrow night, I’m afraid it won’t work…”
Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes darkened. This was what she had been worried about. She was afraid that Zhou Yu would become a vegetable if he hurt his head again.
At this moment, she was a little regretful. When she listened to Immortal Tai preach the Taoism Way, she shouldn’t have been playful and paid attention in class. As a result, she only learned a little of the Five Metaphysical Techniques.
“Alright, thank you, Doctor.”
After responding, the seven or eight burly men in the village helped carry Zhou Yu back to the Zhou family.
At this moment, Zhang Lan had already woken up, but her body had also weakened. The effects from the previous treatment had mostly disappeared.
At this moment, she sat on the bed. As she wiped Zhou Yu’s face, she secretly wiped her tears as well.
The two little guys were tired from crying and were coaxed to sleep.
Meanwhile, the Wang and Sun families had long disappeared.
“Thank you for your help today. It’s getting dark. Everyone is tired. Go back and rest first. I can’t leave now, so I won’t send you off. When Father wakes up, I’ll definitely visit and thank you in person.”
Zhou Xiaoli did not show any signs of panic. She continued to deal with everything in the house in an orderly manner.
She did not cry or make a fuss. It made everyone’s heart ache for this little girl even more.
Liu Yan grabbed Zhou Xiaoli’s hand and repeatedly instructed, “If anything happens, don’t force yourself. You must come to us.”
“Yes, thank you, Auntie. I understand.”
After sending everyone off, Zhou Xiaoli closed the door.
A trace of coldness flashed across her eyes before dissipating quickly.
Zhang Lan coughed and looked at Zhou Xiaoli moving busily in and out of the house, feeling guilty and heartbroken.
She was really useless. Her family was in chaos and as a mother, she had panicked. Everything else landed on Zhou Xiaoli to take charge.
