Old Mrs. Li sensed something was wrong. Seeing cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, she realized this wasn't normal. She hurriedly shuffled off to fetch someone again, and also called over the village head.
"This is a high fever!" The doctor sighed and explained, "The most dangerous thing about external injuries is fever. Your three sons all have fevers now. I'll prescribe some medicine for them now and see if we can bring the fever down today!"
Everyone knows that a fever can be fatal, and Old Lady Li was terrified.
"Li Aidi, you jinx, you're a menace! It's all your fault!"
Meanwhile, Li Aidi, whom she was thinking about, was lying stiffly on the kang (a heated brick bed), her clothes torn to shreds, her thin body covered in wounds. The man sat to the side, muttering, "There's nothing fun about this. Can someone with this figure really have a son? I wasted ten pounds of sweet potatoes."
Li Aidi heard these words in a daze, and tears streamed down her face in anger.
She's in pain all over; this man isn't even human.
She's in excruciating pain all over her body. She's never been injured like this in all the years she's been with Han Qiang.
Compared to Han Qiang, this guy is a freak; he's not even human.
Hearing the noise behind him, the man turned around, revealing a mouthful of disgusting yellow teeth. "Are you dead? You're no fun at all."
"I wasted those ten pounds of sweet potatoes! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have wanted an old woman like you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Aidi burst into tears. She remembered what her mother and this man had said: she would have to stay here for another month.
I really don't know if I can hold on until then.
"You better behave yourself and stay home."
The man got up, patted his backside, and the door creaked shut.
At this moment, Li Aidi felt like dying.
She struggled to get up, but her body felt like it had been run over by a car, and she couldn't get up at all.
Tears streamed down her face. She wondered if her son would ever come to see her again. She wanted to send a message to her child, but unfortunately, she couldn't even get off the earthen bed now.
...
Han Luoxue didn't expect that the old woman from the Li family would dare to come over.
Han Luoyu's eyes darted around, and she dashed out in a flash.
“I think we made things clear that day, and the documents were signed.”
"Yes, that's right. I came here today seeking medical help."
There was no other way; the best doctor in town was right here. She wanted to ask Doctor Xu to come back and treat her.
"You're overthinking it. Doctor Xu is too old to go out."
The three of them were outside the door that day, and Doctor Xu was too lazy to even make a move, let alone now that they were still in Li Family Village.
“Oh dear, girl, I’m at my wit’s end. All three of them are seriously injured. After we got home that day, I asked someone to take care of them and bandage them up, but I didn’t expect them to get fevers. The village doctor said there’s nothing he can do.”
"Everyone says that saving a life is better than anything else, but you can't just stand by and watch three lives die!"
"That hat is huge!" Han Luoxue looked at the old woman speechlessly. She had thought the old woman was just an ordinary, unreasonable old woman, but it turned out she couldn't even use a tactic anymore.
"Oh dear, I thought it was someone else, but it's that shameless old woman from the Li family. What are you doing picking a fight with my granddaughter so early in the morning?"
A gloating voice rang out, and Sheng Yuhua saw Old Mrs. Han running over with her bound feet. Behind her was Han Luoyu, who had just run out.
This is really...
She knew it! Why did Han Luoyu suddenly run away again? Turns out she went to get reinforcements.
Magic against magic, old lady against old lady – this is definitely the most suitable method.
Upon seeing Grandma Han enter, Han Luoxue didn't need to say anything; she simply grabbed a stool and sat down.
Han Luoyu, being the most clever, ran inside and brought out two small stools, handing one to Old Mrs. Han and sitting on the other herself.
Looking at the small stool handed to her, Grandma Han felt a lump in her throat. It was truly a rare thing; her granddaughter knew to offer her a seat.
Does this mean that Mingyuan's two maids have forgiven her?
No, she must perform well today and keep up the good work.
Grandma Han was in high spirits in front of the space, and her gaze toward Old Lady Li was as venomous as a poisoned pawn.
"What business do you have with my granddaughter, you old woman?"
Seeing that everyone else had seats while she stood in the courtyard, Old Lady Li curled her lip in disdain: "They really have no manners at all. Don't they know how to respect their elders?"
"Who do you think you are, old man? My granddaughter is being filial to me too. You're just here to cause trouble, and you think you can sit down? Do you want to eat shit?"
"I...Grandma Han, I'm here for medical treatment, not to cause trouble!"
"Seeking medical help?"
Grandma Han looked her over suspiciously, then suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, are you trying to make me laugh to death? Seeking medical help? What kind of medical help are you seeking? Have you ever seen anyone come to seek medical help with empty hands?"
This... Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed.
She just wanted to invite the person back, and she'd be lucky to get a bowl of corn porridge. Who would have thought she'd also have to cover medical expenses?
"My child has a high fever, I'm so worried."
"Does being in a hurry mean you can come empty-handed?"
"Besides, Doctor Xu already said that day that you can't be treated if your body isn't healthy. Are you out of your mind? You've forgotten everything in just a few days?"
"Grandma Han, are you here to cause trouble today?"
It was clear that Old Mrs. Han had come to confront her, and Old Mrs. Li was not to be outdone: "I came here to seek medical treatment from Doctor Xu, what's it to you?"
"But you came to my third son's house!"
