Seeing that Doctor Shi had stood up, Wang Xiaojiang quickly pulled him in front of his sister, and Wang's mother also hurriedly spoke to Doctor Shi.
"Doctor, please take a look at my daughter, what's wrong with her...?"
Just as Shi Langzhong entered the courtyard, Wang's mother called for him to check on Wang Yan'er first, but Huang Dachuan pulled him away. Seeing that Huang's wife's head was covered in blood, she could only hug her daughter tightly. Now that she saw him coming, she hurriedly spoke, but her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs.
At this moment, Huang Dachuan seemed to only then notice his wife lying in the Queen Mother's arms. Seeing that her eyes were slightly closed, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.
"What's so interesting? She's just trying to slack off and pretend to be dizzy again..."
When the Queen Mother heard Huang Laochuan's words and looked at her still unconscious daughter in her arms, her heart ached.
She knew that her daughter had accepted the Huang family's betrothal gifts to pay for her medical treatment, and that her life was not going well. She also knew that the Huang family looked down on her because they thought she was poor. Therefore, in order for her daughter to have a better life in her husband's family, they did not dare to come to see her often, because they were worried that the Huang family would think they were "borrowing money" and causing trouble for Wang Yan'er, and that she would suffer more from her husband's family's temper.
Today, Xiao Jiang caught a lot of fish in the river, but she didn't eat any of them herself. She thought she would come over to see her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time. But when she arrived at the Huang family's door, she saw her daughter lying on the ground, and her mother-in-law was kicking her hard.
She knew her daughter had a hard life, but she didn't know it was this kind of life. If she had known, she probably wouldn't have spent that money on medical treatment even if she were to die.
Therefore, when she looked at her son-in-law Huang Dachuan, her eyes were full of anger. However, this was not the time to dwell on such matters. Seeing that Doctor Shi's brows had been furrowing more and more since he placed his fingers on Wang Yan'er's wrist, her heart also tightened. Now that he had withdrawn his hand, she hurriedly asked.
"Doctor, how is my daughter...?"
Doctor Shi withdrew his hand, but his brows remained furrowed. He couldn't understand how someone so young could be so physically weakened. Hearing the Queen Mother's question, he sighed inwardly before speaking.
"The physical and mental damage is likely due to a lack of proper postpartum care and overexertion, which has weakened the body. If it is not properly cared for in the future, it may be unable to conceive again..."
Actually, Shi Langzhong was underestimating the situation. If things continue like this, not only will she be unable to conceive again, but she might also lose her life, since Wang Yan'er has already decided to die.
Upon hearing Doctor Shi say that her daughter was physically and mentally injured, Wang's mother collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. But before she could speak again, she heard Old Lady Huang, who was being supported by Huang's father, howl.
"What? She can't get pregnant? What's the point of my Huang family keeping such a barren hen? Since you've come today, hurry up and pack your things and take her back. I'll have my son write a letter of divorce later, and also..."
As she spoke, she pointed at Wang Xiaojiang, who was looking at his older sister with a pained expression, and began to scold him.
"And you little brat, how dare you bump into me! If you don't pay me ten taels of silver for medical expenses today, I'll make you pay..."
When Doctor Shi heard Old Lady Huang speak like this, a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes. Just now, she had only paid a hundred coins for her own medical expenses and had been reluctant to pay. Now, she was asking for ten taels of silver in compensation. It was truly outrageous.
Doctor Shi looked down at Wang Yan'er, who was still unconscious, and sighed in his heart. Marrying into such a family was a miserable fate. He took out some ginseng slices from his medicine box and put them into her mouth. As for the consultation fee, it seemed that the Huang family would not pay for it. He glanced at Wang's mother and the boy's clothes and thought, "Fine, I'll do a good deed for the day."
At this moment, when Wang's mother heard that Old Woman Huang wanted to divorce her daughter and demand ten taels of silver in compensation, she was so angry that she became dizzy.
She was already in poor health, and now she felt dizzy and her vision blurred. She was determined to leave this den of wolves with her daughter today, and she would never allow her to be abandoned.
Wait a minute, she said her daughter was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. The last time she visited her daughter, she was pregnant. She was thinking of bringing some fish so her daughter could make some fish soup to nourish her body. But when she looked down at her daughter's thin and bony body, she suddenly looked up at Old Lady Huang and questioned her.
"Where is my child? Where is my daughter's child...?"
When Old Lady Huang heard the Queen Mother's questioning, she remembered the child who had died not long after birth, and her eyes were filled with disgust.
"Hmph, child, your daughter is such a useless thing. Not only did she give birth to a money-losing child, but that money-losing child also died young. If you had known back then that she was carrying such a thing, you should have aborted it when you were pregnant..."
Hearing Old Lady Huang's words, Wang's mother felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Only then did she realize why her daughter was so physically and mentally wounded. Her poor daughter, the daughter she had raised with such care, had been tormented by this family of wolves and tigers. Wang's mother could no longer bear it. She handed her daughter to her youngest son and rushed towards Old Lady Huang.
"How dare you bully my daughter like this! I'll fight you to the death..."
With Huang Dachuan and his father present, how could Wang Mu possibly get close to Huang's old woman? Before she could even reach her, Huang Dachuan shoved her to the ground, and she immediately vomited blood and fainted...
Wang Xiaojiang, a child barely ten years old, looked at his still unconscious older sister in his arms, then at his mother who had been pushed to the ground. His eyes turned bloodshot. He slowly put his sister down, turned and rushed into the Huang family's kitchen. When he came out, he had grabbed a kitchen knife and charged directly at Huang Dachuan...
He knew that it was all because of this man. If this man had treated his sister well and loved her, that old hag would never have bullied her like this...
Seeing Wang Xiaojiang charging towards him with a kitchen knife in his hand and bloodshot eyes, Huang Dachuan didn't dare to stop and turned to run...
When Han Yiyi and her group arrived at the Huang family's house, it was already surrounded by people, including the village chief and his wife.
Wang Yan'er had already woken up, but her face was still pale. Her mother was still unconscious and was being held in Wang Xiaojiang's arms. Her lips were also slightly purple, indicating that her condition was not good.
Looking at Huang Dachuan, his arm had been slashed by Wang Xiaojiang, and his sleeve was covered in blood, indicating that the injury was quite serious. At this moment, Shi Langzhong was bandaging him.
