Chapter 143: Too Many Times Have Side Effects
“My wife cannot be wronged for no reason. Since you have doubts, this matter must be resolved.”
“It’s impossible for your suspicions to ruin her reputation in the future. My husband kindly treated the child’s arm without charging a penny. She shouldn’t be treated like this.”
"As long as I'm here, I won't let her suffer such injustice, and I won't allow this matter to pass by ambiguously!"
Yang Zeyan's words were very serious, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had long known that Yang Zeyan was not someone to be trifled with, and that anyone who offended him would not have a good ending.
Not to mention this fabricated charge, which could even be described as a miscarriage of justice.
Du Ruoxia is Yang Zeyan's wife, and she represents a man's pride.
Sister-in-law Wu doubted her character, but she didn't trust Yang Zeyan's judgment.
Yang Zeyan's attitude was serious, leaving no room for negotiation.
Sister-in-law Wu was immediately filled with remorse and began to regret her rash and impulsive actions.
Yang Zeyan was one of the top officials in their family compound.
Not only was he young, but he also made countless military achievements.
When Yang Zeyan stood there, not only would these women be intimidated, but even their husbands would have to tuck their tails between their legs in front of him.
If Yang Zeyan made them run 10 kilometers with weights on the training field, even if they had grievances in their hearts, they could only obediently endure it.
The reason why Sister Wu dared to come over was because she was furious when she saw the child's arm hurting, and that's why she came over with a burst of courage.
She didn't think that much about it at the time, nor did she expect so many people to gather there.
Now that things have blown up and Yang Zeyan is on Du Ruoxia's side, she's in a bind.
Most importantly, she felt a little guilty. After Du Ruoxia set Bao Mei's arm, the soup at home had burned, so she rushed back, leaving the child behind.
If the child falls down at that time, and you don't dare to tell her, creating a time lag, that would be awkward.
As Wu's wife thought this, she was already sweating with nervousness.
Yang Zeyan reached out to hold Bao Mei's hand, but Bao Mei was so frightened that she shook him off.
Bao Mei lowered her head, her little face deathly pale.
Her obvious guilty look made Aunt Wu even more uncertain.
Seeing this, how could the onlookers not understand?
They looked at Sister Wu with pity, thinking to themselves how bold this woman was.
Her child fell while going out to buy soy sauce, and Staff Officer Yang's wife took the initiative to help the child reattach his arm, relieving the child from pain.
As a result, she didn't take good care of her child or understand the situation properly, and now she's coming back to bite the hand that feeds her.
As a woman, if she wrongly accuses someone, she might only get a few scoldings. But her husband is a soldier under Staff Officer Yang, so his life probably won't be so easy.
Yang Zeyan frowned, and seeing their reactions, he understood everything.
He knew Du Ruoxia's medical skills better than anyone else. He would be the first to disagree with others trying to frame her without understanding her.
Those who were just on the side of the mother and daughter have now turned against Du Ruoxia and started speaking up for her.
"Look at you, you went and caused trouble for others without even understanding the situation, and now look what's happened!"
"I always knew that Staff Officer Yang's wife was a person of impeccable character; how could she possibly do such a thing?"
"The child is ignorant, and you adults are also making a mess of things. Now you've wronged someone, aren't you? Let's see how you clean this up?"
Sister-in-law Wu lowered her head in shame, while Bao Mei huddled up in fear.
Du Ruoxia stepped forward, took Bao Mei's hand, bent down, and gently asked her.
"Did you trip and fall again after your sister left?"
Only then did Bao Mei obediently nod.
Tears streamed down her face instantly, and she hurriedly apologized to her.
"Sister, I don't want to lie, but I'm afraid Mom will beat me if she finds out."
Bao Mei sniffled and looked at her with a pitiful expression.
Bao Mei's words confirmed everyone's suspicions.
Aunt Liu's face turned deathly pale, and she was too nervous to speak.
Her body swayed precariously, as if she wanted to just collapse.
"Your hand must hurt a lot right now, it must be very uncomfortable, right?"
Du Ruoxia continued to inquire about Bao Mei's situation, and Bao Mei, once she started talking, obediently nodded.
"Sister, my hand hurts so much! Can you help me?"
Bao Mei raised her head and looked at her with longing.
"Then let me ask you, when I was at the bottom of the stairs when you had your arm set, did your arm hurt?"
Bao Mei shook her head and said obediently.
"The pain stopped then. Later, my mother said that her soup had boiled dry and hurriedly walked back. I followed behind her but couldn't keep up. I stepped on her trouser leg and tripped and fell again."
Du Ruoxia looked down and saw that Bao Mei's pants were a bit too long.
No wonder this child always falls down; on the one hand, he walks too erratically, and on the other hand, his trousers are too long and he easily trips over them.
“Sister Wu, the child’s pants are so long. You could take some time to trim them for her. If you were just a little more patient and attentive to the child, she wouldn’t have fallen twice in a row.”
“I can put her arm back on, and small children's wounds heal easily, but repeated fractures can leave lasting effects.”
"The arm can be set, but it will fracture again easily in the future. You're a mother, you should know this basic common sense, right?"
Du Ruoxia's words were rather harsh, but Aunt Liu had just wronged her, and now she didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.
She's quite old, but in front of Du Ruoxia, who's in her early twenties, she's as docile as a quail.
"I understand, I understand. I was wrong this time. I'll definitely alter Bao Mei's pants as soon as I get back!"
"I'm sorry you were wronged today. I will think before I speak and act in the future, and I will never be so reckless as I was today."
As Wu's wife was speaking, she was about to kneel down when Du Ruoxia quickly helped her up.
“My sister-in-law is older than me. If she kneels down in front of so many people, I won’t be able to stay in this residential compound tomorrow.”
"Fortunately, Baomei was honest and the matter has been made clear. Since that's the case, let's just let it go. I just hope that in the future, everyone will think about the consequences when they speak and act."
Du Ruoxia paused here, and just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Zeyan took the initiative to continue the conversation.
"We can let it go this time, but if it happens again, we will not tolerate it!"
Yang Zeyan's cold and stern gaze swept over the crowd, and everyone who was looked at by him trembled with fear.
Some people standing at the back couldn't withstand the pressure and quietly slipped away.
Bao Mei stretched out her injured little hand and looked at Du Ruoxia pitifully.
Her eyes shone with a hopeful yet helpless light, wishing she could help her.
The others stared wide-eyed at Du Ruoxia, eager to see just how skilled the staff officer's wife was in medicine.
Staff Officer Yang looked at Du Ruoxia with gentle eyes, without a trace of impatience in his expression.
It's hard to believe that such a tough guy like him has such a tender side.
Du Ruoxia managed to do it, which shows she has her own unique strengths.
In response to Yang Zeyan's attitude towards Du Ruoxia, those who understood the situation immediately looked at her with newfound respect.
Anyone who dares to disrespect her in the future should think twice before deciding whether they are worthy of her attention.
Before taking action against Du Ruoxia, one should know whether they can withstand Staff Officer Yang's wrath.
Du Ruoxia held Bao Mei's hand, and all she could see was her nimble lifting and twisting movements.
