Everyone in Malutun knows that Ma Quan's mother is notoriously partial.
Others have their eldest grandson and youngest son, the lifeblood of the old lady. But she is different. She doesn't love her older sons or grandsons, but only her married daughter. She sends all the good things in the house to her, pampering her daughter and her in-laws until they are all rosy-cheeked, while her own son and grandson are getting thinner and thinner.
Just because her daughter didn't like her two sisters-in-law when she returned to her parents' home, the mother-in-law thought of ways to torture her daughter-in-law. Going to the river to wash clothes in the middle of winter was a small matter. They also met Sister Xiuhe who stayed up late to earn work points. Her eyes were as dark as if she was in the late stage of tuberculosis. She went out to catch fish on rainy days and to pick mushrooms in the mountains. She fell and came back with bruises all over her body. Even so, she was either scolded or not allowed to eat every day.
"What a sin! Aunt Cheng is so old and still so quiet."
Gu Zuozuo took out the medicine box that she had prepared long ago. Since she wanted to use the barefoot doctor as an excuse, she had to show her attitude.
"Come on, lead the way."
Seeing that she was about to go out, the little fox leaped directly into her arms, curled himself into a ball and hid in her military coat.
The aunts and sisters-in-law were no longer busy with their work. Since the owner of the house had left, they stayed there too and left with Hua La La. Liu Ximei was the last one to get up and closed the door. She was afraid that Gu Zuozuo didn't bring the key. She thought that there were people everywhere at the educated youth site and no one would dare to steal anything, so she simply locked it with a big lock.
Along the way, Ma Quan was so anxious that sweat kept coming out of his forehead, but he remained calm when taking care of Zuo Zuo. If it weren't for the strict rules between men and women and his fear of not doing so, he would have been so anxious that he wanted to carry her on his back.
"Gu...Gu Zhiqing, can we...walk faster?"
Gu Zuozuo glanced at him indifferently, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she hit Ma Quan in the heart.
"You're anxious now? Why? Why weren't you anxious when your wife was being tortured? Oh, are you afraid that your child will be gone?"
Ma Quan was so anxious that he rubbed his hands and wished he could move his home here.
"I...it's not that I'm not anxious. Isn't this what all daughters-in-law are like? Just bear with it and it will pass. Besides...besides...she's my mother. What can I do?"
Gu Zuozuo suddenly stopped and looked indifferent.
"I think there's no need to save your wife anymore. She's being treated like a nobody every day, and her husband is a useless Muggle. It would be better for her to die and live in peace. What do you think?"
Ma Quan almost knelt down before her. What did he say? What did he say? He wanted his wife!
Just as Gu Zuozuo was about to turn around and leave, a powerful roar came from behind him.
"Gu Zuozuo! What are you dawdling for? Hurry up, someone's about to die!"
Gu Zuozuo froze in his tracks, and couldn't help rolling his eyes. He then obediently carried the medicine box and went to save people.
Duan Jianhua wiped the cold sweat from his head, stood there and took several deep breaths before swallowing the anger. Seeing that Ma Quan was still standing there stupidly, he kicked him directly and knocked him to the ground.
"What are you doing here? Are you planning to dry yourself out and stew it for your wife to make her milk? Why don't you go back home and help? You can't even protect your own wife!"
If he hadn't known that Gu Zhiqing hated evil and that if he angered her, she would be so willful that she wouldn't save him no matter what, why would he be here? Seriously! She never had a peaceful day, always looking for trouble. If it weren't for his wife's understanding attitude, he wouldn't even want to be the team leader anymore!
Gu Zuozuo, who had already walked far away, suddenly turned around and walked back, looking at Duan Jianhua with his clear big eyes without blinking.
Duan Jianhua's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
What does this lady want to do?
"Gu Zhiqing, what's wrong?"
Duan Jianhua, the humble online team leader who was frightened by her, asked cautiously.
"Captain, you can save people, but don't blame me if there's any conflict."
Duan Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief. Is that all? It's just a small matter!
"As long as no one is killed, please be gentle..."
Before he could finish his words, the slender figure disappeared from in front of him.
It’s over. Why does he feel like something big is going to happen?
Ma Quan's two children were kneeling at the door of their house, crying their hearts out. Their tender voices were hoarse from crying, and they kept calling for their mother. A stream of sarcastic and harsh curses could be heard coming from the house.
"You short-lived bastard! A money-loser! A worthless bitch! Die outside if you can, don't die in my house! You unlucky thing..."
Gu Zuozuo came silently behind her, grabbed the woman who was still spitting, and threw her out of the door, landing in front of the two children kneeling on the ground.
The two children were so scared that they stopped crying and stared at their grandmother who had climbed up dazed.
"System, scan."
The system nodded obediently, and an invisible light enveloped the unconscious woman on the bed.
After taking the pulse, Gu Zuozuo frowned tightly, and his displeasure with this family increased even more.
[Host, she is carrying a stillborn fetus, which died five days ago. She is also severely malnourished. If she doesn't take good care of herself, she'd be lucky to live to fifty.]
The pulse condition was similar to what she had felt. Gu Zuozuo sighed, looked at the woman's face on the bed, which was as thin as skin and bones, then turned and walked out.
"Gu Zhiqing, is my wife...my wife okay?"
Gu Zuozuo looked at him expressionlessly, and only spoke after he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Five days ago, your wife was hit by a car? Didn't you take her to see a doctor?"
