Chapter Sixty-Six: Lan Xiuhe's Belated Resistance

Seeing the noisy scene, Gu Zuozuo's lips twitched. This village was bustling with activity.

First, go to the old woman who was most seriously injured and prepare to bandage her up. Judging from her bleeding condition, if she dies, Lan Xiuhe will not get any benefit.

"I don't need your help, you bitch! I'm taking this to the police! I'll make that damned slut sit on a fence and eat peanuts! She dared to attack her mother-in-law and sister-in-law with a knife! I'll take her down with me, you shameless... uh..."

Gu Zuozuo withdrew her hand. Okay, the world is quiet now.

"She needs stitches. Hold her down and don't let her move."

Under Old Lady Ma's horrified gaze, Gu Zuozuo took out a thick needle and smiled very kindly at her. His smiling eyes and eyebrows made the onlookers outside the door, who couldn't see what was going on, start discussing how good-looking Gu Zuozuo was.

"Don't worry, I'll put in a few more stitches so your wound can heal more smoothly."

Old Mrs. Ma's pale face, which had been pale from blood loss, suddenly flushed red, and she looked at Gu Zuozuo with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her.

Gu Zuozuo didn't care. After disinfecting the wound, she directly inserted the needle. She did this slowly and calmly, making the two older women holding her down twitch their eyelids.

From now on, we must never offend this educated youth, Gu. He has the face of a bodhisattva, but how could he have the heart of a butcher?

“Aunt Ma, relax. This doesn’t hurt as much as when your daughter-in-law gave birth to that stillborn child. Your daughter-in-law went through a thousand cuts and came out. As the head of the family, you can’t be weaker than her. Look at you, why are you sweating so much? Oh dear, you look so weak.”

Old Mrs. Ma, whose speech acupoints were sealed, glared with bloodshot eyes, her heart roaring. Hearing her sarcastic and veiled words, she was almost driven half to death with anger.

Gu Zhiqing is definitely a monster! The kind that eats human hearts! Otherwise, how could she have rendered herself speechless just by pointing at her? And even sewed up human flesh with a needle? She's definitely not human!

In the corner, the real head of the family, Old Man Ma, squatted there smoking his pipe. Hearing Gu Zuozuo's words, he lifted his droopy eyelids and glanced at his unusually quiet wife. The smoke he exhaled obscured his cold gaze.

The excruciating pain was completed amidst Gu Zuozuo's calm operation and Old Lady Ma's bulging veins.

"Tsk, I really don't want to use my own medicine on her."

After much deliberation, Gu Zuozuo, feeling that she would be at a disadvantage if she used any of the medicines on her, finally chose a highly irritating but effective powder.

There is a slight side effect: it will be very painful, no less than rubbing salt and chili powder, especially the kind from bird's eye chilies, into a wound.

"Bear with it, it will hurt a little."

Despite speaking with a tone of compassion and empathy, their actions were as swift, ruthless, and precise as a club wielded by the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess!

Old Mrs. Ma's face contorted in pain, her dark, wrinkled face twitching with agony. Cold sweat soaked through her thermal underwear, and she almost lost control of her bladder.

Gu Zuozuo finished by tying a bow on her body with gauze. Looking at her from left to right, she nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, as expected of her."

Ma Yuejiao, who was in so much pain that she was about to faint, was jolted awake by a needle prick. She stared wide-eyed at a strange woman threading a needle through her body, and was terrified.

"You...you...who are you! What...what do you want! What do you want! Don't touch me! I'm telling you, murder is illegal and you'll be punished!"

Gu Zuozuo kept working with her hands. Upon hearing this, she curled the corners of her lips and lowered her voice to a level that only the two of them could hear.

"Yes, it's not just a crime, it's a capital offense. The little baby on your back is waiting for you to go and be with him."

Ma Yuejiao's meticulously maintained face froze instantly. What... what does this mean? What baby?

Seeing that she was frightened, Gu Zuozuo ignored her and quickly bandaged her up before getting up and going to Lan Xiuhe.

"sister in law?"

Lan Xiuhe's dazed gaze fixed on Gu Zuozuo, and then her eyes slowly reddened.

“Gu…Gu, the educated youth, I…”

"Sister-in-law, do you know that your body has been severely damaged and you need to rest quietly?"
