Chapter 179 The Storm is Coming
Jin Yong was seriously injured.
A bag of lime fell on his head, and he couldn't use his martial arts at all.
He was ambushed by a villain, and the murder weapon turned out to be his own!
Before Jin Yong's consciousness became blurred, his last thought was: Was the woman who ambushed and attacked him Xia Yujiao?
Before he could find the answer, he fainted.
Although Jin Yong was later rescued by passers-by and sent to the clinic in time, the wound was so long that the shallowest part was more than an inch deep, and he bled a lot, so it was a fifty-fifty chance whether he could survive.
Zhou caught a cold, sneezed many times, and became seriously ill.
However, she still thought that she had succeeded this time, and the heavy stone weighing on her heart was lifted, so she naturally felt much more relieved from the bottom of her heart.
Although this illness seems to be severe, it is not difficult to treat.
According to the doctor, there is nothing serious.
Just warm the middle and dispel the cold, then disperse the dampness to the body surface, and then have a good rest for a few days.
First drink Ma Huang Gui Zhi Tang for a few days, and then have a cup of tiger bone wine after dinner every day. Drink this for a year or so, and even the bone pain will be cured.
Mrs. Wu had packed her bags and moved to the inn to accompany and take care of her sister-in-law Xia Yujiao.
Everyone in the Xia family spoke with one voice, saying only that the sister-in-law was missing. It turned out that she had gone into the mountains alone to pick mushrooms and fungus, but unfortunately encountered a pack of wolves and was chased off a cliff.
So he was frightened. Now, he is accompanied by his third sister-in-law Wu and lives in the inn in the town, so that he can see the wound and treat the disease in the clinic.
This excuse was thought of by Xia Daohua.
Because she still had several wolves stored in her space. If there was a need, she could always take out fresh wolf skins and wolf meat to prove her aunt's experience.
Of course, she didn't dare say this out loud, but it would be very easy to "happen to hunt" a few wolves by chance.
After hearing this, Zhou felt relieved.
Now that she had a reasonable excuse, Xia Yujiao would not be subjected to too many rumors even if she did not move for a while.
Zhou said to her family seriously:
“Yujiao is a good child, but unfortunately she has a miserable life.
After this experience, she is afraid that she will have to be an old maid in our Xia family for the rest of her life.
Don't worry, your father and I will take care of her as long as we live. As for when we reach Shoulu in the future, we will naturally make arrangements in advance.
We have to be frank today.
I don't care what outsiders do.
But among us, if anyone bullies her because of this, or makes her angry, or gives her a hard time, or speaks in a sarcastic way in front of her, or says something irrelevant...
Don’t blame me, your mother, for not giving you face!”
Zhou's tone was serious and a little sad at first, but as she spoke, it became a little mournful.
Everyone in the Xia family couldn't help but shiver when they saw Zhou's cold gaze.
Even Xia Youcai, whose face was almost engraved with viciousness, was no exception.
Each of them knew that the old lady's warning was not only to protect Xia Yujiao, but also to protect all the girls in the Xia family.
The customs of the Great Chu Dynasty placed quite strict requirements on women.
Although Beiguan Town is considered to have a tough and open-minded folk customs, it is still inevitably secular in some aspects.
At the very least, if a woman loses her virginity before marriage, it will be a black stain on her life that can never be erased.
If she wanted to die to show her determination, it would be fine. But if she dared to live on, not only would she have to face numerous rumors, but even the girls in her family would be implicated.
Every branch of the Xia family has a daughter.
The Xia family naturally did not want Xia Yujiao's affairs to implicate their daughter.
But, ask yourself, if your daughter encountered such a thing, would you be willing to let her die?
Even Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui, the two most selfish members of the Xia family, might be shaken in their hearts, but they could not say the word "willing to give up".
After the old couple, especially Zhou, finished what they wanted to say, everyone went back to their own rooms quietly, closed the door, and talked in private.
Xia Yougui and Erlang could not help but give Sun a warning, ordering her not to say anything about her sister-in-law's affairs, and not to spread the news outside.
If even a hint of this were to leak out, I'm afraid Old Lady Zhou would remember it for the rest of her life.
Xia Yougui said to Sun with a serious face:
"As for this matter, just pretend you've never heard of it and just let it rot in your stomach!
No matter who spreads it, you can’t let it spread anyway! Otherwise, my mother will be really angry, and I won’t be able to persuade her. I can’t make my mother angry to death, so I’m afraid I can only give you a divorce letter and send you back to the Sun family.”
For the first time, Erlang agreed with Xia Yougui and quickly chimed in:
"Mother, my aunt did nothing wrong, she was just unlucky. You have always been a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, how could you bear to rub chili powder into her wound?
Besides, if you tell outsiders about my aunt's affairs, my grandmother will definitely ask my father to divorce you!
By then, I won’t even have the face to plead for you.”
Sun nodded at first, but then she came to her senses and became angry:
"Hey, I say, you two look down on me so much?
No matter how eccentric I am, I have never done anything to go against my will, right?
If anyone dares to tell anyone about my sister-in-law, I will be the first one to not let her off and will tear her mouth apart!
Even if I don't care about others, my peach blossom, apricot blossom, and plum blossom, the three sisters will still have to get married in the future!"
Even Sun has such awareness, let alone others.
Xia Youcai probably lacked confidence in Jinhua, or he knew his daughters too well. After returning to the town, he did not even tell his two daughters the truth. Instead, he quoted the Xia family's external statement:
"Your aunt was unlucky. She went into the mountains to pick mushrooms and encountered a pack of wolves. The wolves chased her and she fell off a cliff.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be rescued by a hunter in the mountains.
Unfortunately, your aunt was frightened by the wolves and lost her mind. Now she can't even speak. She fell too hard and it's hard for her to move. Your third aunt went to take care of her.
Alas, I am such an unlucky girl, I am afraid I will never be able to get married in the future!"
Jinhua looked worried, but she was thinking anxiously:
"I don't know if this matter with my aunt will delay my remarriage..."
In Room No. 1 of the inn, there is a screen facing the door.
Behind the screen, Li Gan was standing respectfully with his back bent and head lowered, pointing at a hand-drawn map on the table:
"Look, here, here, and here, they have all changed."
