Chapter 57 -57 Broken Head (2)_1

On the way to the health clinic, Ruan Jiaojiao learned the full story from Little Fatty’s trembling sobs.

After school today, Ruan Jie and others had planned to play on the back hills, but he got into a physical fight with Lu Xian, a classmate, right at the school’s gate. Ruan Jie didn’t know what was said to him but he rolled up his sleeves and started brawling with the other boy.

Ruan Jie and Ruan Chi were in the same class and usually went to school together. When the two brothers teamed up against one, they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. However, it turned out that the other kid was tough too. After being knocked to the ground, he seized a stone while Ruan Jie turned around and smashed it onto Ruan Jie’s head.

Ruan Jie fell to the ground bleeding profusely. The sight of blood frightened the other student, who then turned and ran away. Ruan Chi, panicked and at a loss, was fortunate that not all the teachers had left the school yet; they helped get Ruan Jie to the health clinic. But as the clinic wasn’t equipped to stitch wounds, Ruan Jie was then rushed to the hospital in town.

Little Fatty and the others hadn’t left school at the time, so they followed all the way to the clinic, then to the hospital in town. After he had been stitched up, Little Fatty finally remembered to return and report back, running all the way from the town.

The hospital in town was quite a distance, at least an hour’s walk. Ruanlin Family went to the only villager with a tricycle, borrowing it, and then, running into Ruan Jiandang on the way, they went together to the hospital in town.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ruan Jie had woken up. His head was wrapped in gauze stained with blood, causing Ruanlin Family’s heart to throb with pain. Yet she scolded him, saying, “What did you do to get yourself into this mess with a fight!”

Ruan Jie saw Ruanlin Family, his eyes reddening, but the little boy was strong and didn’t cry. Instead, he stubbornly turned his head away.

Ruan Jiaojiao walked over, leaned beside the bed, and carefully took the hand he had by the bedside. She looked up at him and gently asked, “Brother, does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt,” Ruan Jie shook his head, but tears fell nonetheless.

Ruanlin Family’s heart ached even more, and she remained silent for a long while.

From the side, Ruan Feng couldn’t hold back and angrily shouted, “Granny, it’s not Fourth Brother’s fault. It’s Lu Xian who’s bad, he said…”

“Fengzi!” Ruan Chi cut off what he was about to say next. The twelve-year-old’s eyes were filled with a dark and fierce light that didn’t match his age.

Ruan Feng, seeing his soft and docile sister Jiaojiao by Ruan Jie’s side, swallowed back the words he was about to say. Yet he was still angry and shook off Ruan Wei next to him before turning and running out of the ward.

Ruan Jiandang had just finished speaking with the teachers outside and had paid the medical fees, so he likely knew the full extent of what had happened.

He soothed the upset Ruan Feng before entering the ward, looked at Ruan Jie, asked a few caring questions, and then called Ruanlin Family outside. Ruan Jiaojiao saw the two of them behaving secretively and intuitively felt that this incident was somehow related to her.

She wanted to go outside, but Ruan Jie was holding onto her hand by the bed, his eyes closed, his lips pale, and his face colorless. He looked pitiful, and she couldn’t bear to leave.

Ruanlin Family was a formidable figure in the village, but that didn’t mean she was uneducated; she understood basic principles.

After listening to the teacher’s account and hearing the full story, her expression turned ugly.

She stared at the teacher and said, “Teacher Yang, I’m not unreasonable. In this incident, my child has been greatly wronged. I won’t make things difficult for you. Just bring out that student and have his parents come forward to explain things to us.”
