"Second Aunt, are you okay?"
Xie Ying walked in from outside, twisting her waist.
He looked around first, but didn't find anything valuable, so he couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Don't you know that uncle fell into a ditch while working in the fields this morning?"
"What--"
Three voices, speaking in unison.
Su Yun was about to get off the bed, but was stopped by Jiang Wan.
"Mom, don't worry."
"Wanwan, your father—"
Seeing her like this, Xie Ying's eyes flashed with jealousy.
How come Su Yun has been married into the first wife's family for so many years and has been able to give birth to children one after another, two boys in a row?
Now I’m pregnant again!
This is a blatant slap in her face, mocking her for not being able to get pregnant.
Now, the retribution for their eldest wife has come!
Haha, let’s see what Su Yun can still be arrogant about now.
"You don't know, I heard that when uncle was found today, he was covered in blood. There wasn't even a single healthy spot on his body. It was so miserable..."
Xie Ying said this, not paying any attention to Su Yun's increasingly pale complexion.
"Second Aunt, have you said enough?"
Facing Jiang Wan's cold expression, Xie Ying swallowed back the words on his lips.
"Where is my dad now?"
"At... at the barefoot doctor in the village..."
Meeting her gaze, Xie Ying subconsciously answered her question.
"Mom, wait for me at home."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Li worriedly and said, "Brother, you stay home and take care of mom. I'll go to the front to check on dad."
"no--"
As soon as Jiang Wan finished speaking, she heard Su Yun speak hurriedly.
"Ali, you stay with your sister. Mom can take care of herself."
"Sister, you and brother go find dad, I'll take care of mom."
Su Yun's eyes were very determined, as if she was ready to go with Jiang Wan if she refused her.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go find Dad with my eldest brother. You stay home and make sure you're well."
"Um."
Jiang Wan and Jiang Li passed by Xie Ying and saw that she didn't seem to be leaving. "Second Aunt, we've received the letter. Why aren't you leaving yet? Is there something else in our eldest house that can attract you?"
“Ahhh—”
"What good things can there be in your house? Don't even think about getting involved with me!"
Later, I will accuse her of stealing things from their main house.
She quickly took two steps out the door.
Jiang Wan and Jiang Li also hurried towards the barefoot doctor's house.
Along the way, Jiang Wan's heart was pounding. She wondered what had happened to Jiang Zexing and how badly he had been injured. But seeing Xie Ying's gloating expression... she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"Oh, Wanwan, your father has been seriously injured, and you, as his daughter, are only just coming now. That's a bit unfilial."
When I first arrived at the barefoot doctor's house, I didn't expect that the first person I saw was Jiang Yue.
"Why is my aunt here?"
"Tsk, Wanwan, look at what you're saying. This is my big brother, and he's injured. As his younger sister, of course I have to come and see him."
Jiang Wan didn't want to argue with her, so she just strode in. Naturally, she didn't notice Jiang Yue's strange look.
"Uncle Lin, how is my father?"
As soon as he entered, the strong smell of blood hit his nose, and Jiang Wan's face became solemn.
Jiang Zexing was now lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale. With the smell of blood filling the room, he looked particularly scary.
Hearing her voice, Uncle Lin looked up and sighed.
"Fortunately, your father was lucky this time. He didn't hurt any bones or muscles. His leg is fine, but he lost too much blood. He still needs to be replenished."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Uncle Lin."
Uncle Lin waved his hand and was about to walk out with a basin of blood, but was stopped by Jiang Wan.
"Uncle Lin, can I trouble you for something?"
When Uncle Lin left, Jiang Yue lowered her eyes to look at him and asked, "How is my brother?"
He spoke in a condescending tone, not taking Uncle Lin seriously at all.
"What can you do when you're injured like that?"
Uncle Lin spoke angrily, saying that the little daughter of the Jiang family was really rude.
Her elder brother was injured so badly, but he was hiding at the door and refused to go in to take a look, not to mention that he was injured while saving her.
What a heartless person.
The door opened and Jiang Wan walked out. Jiang Yue stepped forward and spoke to comfort her.
"Wanwan, don't worry. Even though Big Brother has a broken leg, he's still alive. There's still hope."
"Thank you for your concern, auntie. But, auntie, why did my dad fall into the ravine?"
Her father had walked that road for so many years, and she didn't believe he would suddenly fall down.
Jiang Yue's eyes flickered. "What does Wanwan mean by that? Could it be that I would harm my own brother?"
"That's what my aunt said herself."
The expression on Jiang Yue's face softened slightly, "Wanwan, are you doubting me?"
"My father has walked that road for so many years, and I've never seen him fall. I heard that he was trying to save my aunt, but I see no injuries on her body, and my father is lying there. Doesn't my aunt have anything to say?"
"What can I say? Wanwan, you still have to know your place in this family."
"Some people and some things cannot be resisted. You have to accept your fate."
Jiang Yue smiled at her, then took a step back. Old Zhang rushed out from somewhere, pointed at Jiang Wan and started cursing.
"You stupid girl, who are you bullying?"
"You've become more capable now, haven't you? You even dare to yell at your aunt?"
"Your father fell because he was blind. All he did all day was eat instead of work. Now he's still blind enough to fall into a ditch. Who can you blame?"
"Why did I give birth to such a hapless thing? It annoys me all day long. I wish I could just die!"
Old Mrs. Zhang had no manners at all, and each word she said was more unpleasant than the last.
"Grandma, please be more polite. My dad has worked so hard for this family for so many years. Every autumn harvest, he has done the most work. And every time, our eldest wife has eaten the least. At least, our eldest wife has taken care of most of the housework."
"Now that my father is injured, you're still cursing him like that. Aren't you afraid that he'll be disheartened?"
"Oh! I'm his mother, what can he do to me? Even if I tell him to die, he has to go!"
Old Zhang's eyes were almost popping out of her head. Her eyeballs were round, and her face was full of wrinkles, making her look particularly ferocious and terrifying.
Jiang Wan had always known that Mrs. Zhang didn't take her son Jiang Zexing seriously at all. Now it all depended on what Jiang Wan thought.
inside the house
Jiang Zexing heard everything that was said outside the house clearly.
Her hands were clasped tightly together on the side, her eyes were closed and not opened, and she heard footsteps beside her ears.
Jiang Wan glanced at the person on the bed and applied medicine to the minor wounds on his body. "Dad, I know you're awake."
