Chapter 8 Happy Events

As she spoke, she took the bottle of medicinal wine from her mother's hand.

My fingers were warm, and my grip was very steady.

"Mom, let me help you apply some hair dye."

After saying that, she squatted down and carefully applied ointment to the bruise on her mother's head.

It was only after her daughter comforted her that Shen Cuifen realized how badly her head was throbbing.

The heavy fall just now made my head feel like it was about to split open.

Just as they were about to apply the medicine, Old Lady Zhao's shrill voice suddenly came from outside the door.

All I heard was her screaming and crying at the top of her lungs, as if something terrible had happened.

"Fellow villagers! Everyone come and see!"

Her voice carried loudly through the courtyard.

"You guys are saying Shen Cuifen actually dared to hit her mother-in-law! What kind of life do we have?!"

"This is terrible! This is terrible! This wife has gone mad! She's really gone mad!"

Then I heard her pounding on the door while sobbing uncontrollably.

"Oh my God, this is terrible! I've married a jinx as my daughter-in-law! I can't go on living! I'm going to die!"

Old Mrs. Zhao was crying and wailing outside, which alarmed all the neighbors in the neighborhood.

Upon hearing these words, Shen Cuifen was instantly enraged again.

She narrowed her eyes and sneered, thinking to herself that this old woman's mouth really wasn't clean, but her tongue was getting sharper with age.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuwei frowned and whispered to her mother, "Mom, I'll go check on the situation."

The most important thing now is to comfort Grandma.

Otherwise, all the neighbors will come to see what's going on.

Their whole family is going to lose face.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cuifen grabbed her daughter's arm and shook her head, saying, "What are you looking at? Your mother's head is about to explode from the pain. Hurry up and check my wound first."

"Whether that one outside lives or dies, it can hold out for a while."

After she finished speaking, her gaze turned cold.

After all, Grandma Zhao has such a loud voice and a strong voice, she'll definitely be fine for a while.

Let her make a scene; let her yell all she wants.

She still didn't believe that the roof could really be blown off.

In the past, Shen Cuifen always felt that as a woman, she should follow certain rules.

She understood the principle of not airing one's dirty laundry in public all too well.

But after her rebirth, she realized how absurd her previous thoughts were.

Blindly tolerating and remaining silent will only lead to more humiliation.

The memories of my past life are still vivid in my mind.

That day at the hospital, the attending physician told her with emotion that Shen Cuifen's illnesses were caused by suppressed emotions that had seeped into her bones over the years.

Thinking back on the grievances and torments of those years, a chill seemed to return to my heart.

To hell with his so-called "family scandals should not be aired in public"!

She clenched her fists inwardly.

From this moment on, she is determined to make sure the whole village knows about this family's shameful secrets.

Anyone who has bullied her will not get away with it easily.

Seeing the blood seeping from her mother's forehead and the pained expression on her face, Lu Xiuwei panicked.

Although I know my mother is usually strong-willed, this time was definitely different from usual.

So she quickly squatted down and leaned closer to examine her mother's injury.

After carefully lifting that strand of hair that was stained with blood.

Seeing a sizable gash beneath the hair, I couldn't help but gasp.

Fortunately, there wasn't much bleeding just now, otherwise it would be much more serious now.

"Mom, no!"

She immediately stopped her mother from touching that area.

"We must get to the clinic right away! We can't delay!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuifen, who had been gritting her teeth and enduring it, finally couldn't hold back anymore, and her face turned pale.

She raised her hand to touch the injury to check its condition, but Lu Xiuwei stopped her.

"Don't move! Don't move at all! Quickly go find Doctor Chen to treat the wound!"

Lu Xiuwei's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Your wound is too deep; you need stitches!"

Shen Cuifen subconsciously looked at her wound. She wondered if it was because of excessive blood loss or some other reason, but there wasn't much blood flowing out of the wound.

But the torn flesh was still frightening.

Even without significant bleeding, she knew her injury was serious.

Upon hearing what Lu Xiuwei said, Shen Cuifen immediately got up and started to move.

"Good boy, you're right. Let's go to the hospital to get it checked out."

As she spoke, she stretched her legs and feet.

This time, she had truly just returned from the brink of death.

Now she cherishes her body very much.

Being alive is a great joy!

Lu Xiuwei quickly reached out to support her, whispering a reminder to be careful as she walked.

"Take it slow, I'll help you walk."

After saying that, he began to accompany Shen Cuifen as they walked outside.

The two had only taken a few steps outside the door, and when they reached the center of the courtyard, Shen Cuifen suddenly remembered something and abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Then, she glanced back at the house, turned around, and ran inside.

She went straight to the wooden box next to the bed.

It was an old piece of furniture from a home, with some dust on its lid.

After opening the lid, she quickly rummaged around inside.

A moment later, he took out his household registration booklet and solemnly stuffed it into the innermost pocket of his clothes.

Then, she pulled out some banknotes from a hidden compartment at the bottom of the box. It looked like more than a hundred yuan, the last cash left in the house.

After confirming that everything was in order, Shen Cuifen patted the pocket area carefully again, muttering, "Everything's there, everything's there."

He then stood up again and pulled Lu Xiuwei out the door together.

However, just as she stepped out of the main room, the sound of Old Lady Zhao wailing still echoed in the courtyard.

The old woman sat in the corner, crying and screaming at the top of her lungs; the scene was quite pathetic.

However, just as Shen Cuifen stepped out of the hospital gate...

Old Mrs. Zhao's wailing stopped abruptly.

Her mouth was still open, tears were still falling, and there were still traces of dried feces at the corners of her mouth.

She'd been yelling for so long, but there wasn't a single person watching in the yard.

None of the neighbors showed up, which is a bit embarrassing to think about now.

At that moment, all she wanted was for Shen Cuifen to ignore her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cuifen didn't even glance at her, nor did she stop at all, and walked straight ahead with Lu Xiuwei, one after the other.

Only after the two women had completely left the courtyard did the old woman sob a few more times, and then she started crying again.

However, this time the crying was much quieter than before.

The two walked towards the center of the village.

Even from a distance from the clinic, the deafening sounds of gongs and drums could be heard.

Due to limited resources in the village, there are usually only some lively and festive cultural and recreational activities during the Spring Festival.
