The next day, Lu Xiaoman removed two nails from a rotten piece of wood on the beach. He finally found a way to deal with Liu Guiping. It all depended on whether she would step on the nails.

I had thought of poisoning her with jellyfish tentacles, but that would expose me anyway. If I pierced her feet with nails, she wouldn't be able to wash her feet for at least a few days.

When he had nothing to do, he would use a whetstone to sharpen nails, making sure they were sharp enough not only to pierce the shoes but also her feet.

Three days later, at night, he installed a nail in front of the chicken coop. Liu Guiping would come to feed the chickens and pick up eggs every day, hoping that she would step on the nail.

When I left, I picked a tomato and hid it to give to my sister tomorrow.

Liu Guiping didn't allow them to come to the backyard, pick tomatoes and cucumbers to eat, or steal eggs.

Liu Guiping got up early in the morning and ran to the backyard. She raised a chicken that laid eggs, so she could eat eggs every day.

Seeing two eggs in the cage, she jumped over happily, "Ouch!" Her left foot stepped on a nail, and when she moved her right foot, she also stepped on a nail.

Lu Xiaoman calculated the distance between her feet, so her second foot landed on the nail accurately. Blood was flowing from her foot, and she screamed, "Lu Ting, Lu Ting..."

Lu Ting was washing up in the bathroom. When he heard the sound, he ran out immediately and dressed his son. Lin Wan also ran out.

Liu Guiping sat on the ground. The nails were too sharp and had penetrated deep into his flesh.

"Ouch, ouch!"

Lu Ting looked at her foot and said, "The wound is deep enough, go to the hospital!"

There is also a bicycle at home, which can be used to push her to the bathroom.

"Let's carry Mom out together."

"Tuo."

He and Lin Wan each carried one side, and Liu Guiping said angrily, "It must be Xiaoman's doing. There were no nails yesterday, so why are there nails today?"

"Mom, it might have fallen on the ground. Xiaoman is a child and doesn't know how to put nails."

Lin Wan winked at Liu Guiping. After the quarrel, Lu Xiaoman complained again, and the foot-washing incident was about to be exposed.

Liu Guiping was so angry that he could only agree: "Yes, I wronged him."

Arriving at the medical room, Gu Lan saw the nail on Liu Guiping's foot and laughed: "Why is he so careless? He stepped on the nail for no reason?"

Liu Guiping rolled her eyes. If it fell into her hands, there would be no chance of success.

Sure enough, Gu Lan didn't even give her anesthesia, she just pulled it out with medical forceps.

"Ah!" Liu Guiping screamed, blood spurting out. Gu Lan kept saying, "You can't even bear this little pain. Bear with it, there's one more."

Another scream was heard, and Liu Guiping's body was shaking with pain. Lin Wan was furious: "Are you saving people or killing people?"

Gu Lan snorted coldly: "If you are not satisfied, take a boat to the town to get it, don't look for me!"

While saying this, he quickly stopped the bleeding on his hands and said, "Your athlete's foot is too serious. Buy some medicine and rub it on. It stinks to death."

Lin Wan was furious. "You did it on purpose! Shouldn't you use anesthesia when pulling out nails?"

"The needle isn't deep, no need to hit." In fact, half of the sole of the foot had been pierced.

"Use some medicine to make my mother get better quickly."

"Okay, I'll give you some anti-inflammatory medicine first."

Gu Lan applied pressure to the wound, and the needle failed to penetrate the blood vessels several times. The pain made Liu Guiping curse loudly: "Gu Lan, you are deliberately torturing me. You have no medical ethics. How can someone like you be worthy of being a military doctor!"

"You're interrupting the doctor while he's giving me the injection. How can I avoid making a mistake?" Gu Lan smiled brightly, feeling extremely happy. "The fluid has been administered. Lie down. I'm going to go out and see other patients."

She slipped away and came back to deal with Liu Guiping a little later.

Lu Ting still caught the nail, and Lin Wan talked about the foot-washing incident with Liu Guiping again, refusing to admit it and waiting to deal with the brother and sister in private.

When Lu Ting returned home and saw Lu Xiaoman feeding his son, his heart softened, but he still put the nail in front of him: "Did you put this nail there?"

Lu Xiaoman asked his sister to feed his little brother. He looked at Lu Ting and said, "Dad, Liu Guiping asked me to wash her feet and massage her every night, and she also beat and scolded us. When we complained before, she took us to the beach and drowned us, so we didn't dare to complain anymore.

We have been tortured by her for a long time. Dad, we don’t want to live here anymore. Can you rent a house for us in the village? "

Lu Ting was heartbroken and shocked. He thought it was just a minor quarrel, but he didn't expect Xiaoman to be planning to leave. Moreover, he didn't act like a child today. He looked very mature.

"I'm your father, how can I let you go?"

This is a difficult matter.

"But if we don't go out, she'll beat us to death. Dad, please help us rent a house, or I can rent one myself. Don't worry about me and my sister anymore. I can support myself by fishing."

"No!" Lu Ting frowned deeply. How would others view him? "I'll talk to her. I won't let this happen again. I'll supervise her."

"Well, I'm sorry to embarrass Dad."

Lu Xiaoman thought about it and decided that since the fight had started, he would not allow the mother and daughter to beat and scold him anymore. He had to resist. He had to prepare a small knife and stab Liu Guiping when necessary.

Lu Xiaoman went to feed the child again. Lu Ting stared at him for a while before serving the rice. Then he said, "I'll take care of this matter."

Lu Xiaoman shook his head slightly. He was ready to be beaten, but he didn't need to wash his feet recently. Next time he was asked to wash his feet, he would stab them with a knife!

He had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pencil sharpener or a knife. After the meal, the brother and sister went out, and Lu Zihao was also taken to the clinic by Lu Ting.

Liu Guiping lived in a single room. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you ask Xiaoqing and Xiaoman to wash your feet?"

"How is that possible? There's nothing wrong. He's really good at making things up. How could I, a grown-up, let a six-year-old wash my feet? It's so unfair to me."

Liu Guiping had an innocent expression, and Lin Wan also said, "Really not. You are at home every day, watching him too. How could you possibly let him wash his feet?"

"I just rinse my feet in the toilet every day and go to bed. Why would I wash them?" Liu Guiping lamented. "Aren't we being kind to them? They're still wrongly accusing me. Did someone corrupt them, or bribe them to say this on purpose?"

She was referring to someone, and the person she was talking about was Gu Lan.

"I'll watch!"

Lu Ting felt that there was nothing to say. He had to keep an eye on the mother and daughter recently, and speaking now was just to give them a reminder.

Today he found that Xiaoman's temperament had changed, and he was a little confused. Could it be that Gu Lan really bribed them?

He left with doubts.
