“Miss Su is right.”
Xiao Jinhan nodded, a hint of melancholy in his deep eyes. "The moment I realized I was poisoned, I used my internal energy to seal all the toxins in my leg. The old man once said that unless someone in this world knows the long-lost technique of acupuncture, there is no hope for this leg."
However, he didn't take those words to heart at the time.
Because a poison that even an old man couldn't cure meant certain death.
They wouldn't care if one leg was ruined.
“I will, leave it to me!” Su Hua raised her eyes, glanced at the man, and said in a light tone, “For the next month, give me half an hour every seven days so I can give you acupuncture.”
For her, needling acupuncture points with silver needles was not a difficult task.
The difficulty lies in the fact that crafting a set of silver needles must be quite expensive.
It would be great if there were free ones.
Thinking of this, Su Hua's almond-shaped eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps she could try finding that sucker.
"Then Jinhan will have to rely on Miss Su!" The man looked at the smile on the girl's profile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. His heart seemed to beat even more violently. Perhaps, this dead end might really have a day when things take a turn for the better.
Xiao Jinhan carefully put away the portrait and saw Su Hua out of the hospital.
Then they saw Old Lady Xiao walking towards them from the end of the village path.
The woman caught sight of the girl in the courtyard, and her pace quickened instantly. The two heavy silver bracelets on her wrists jingled, and the plum blossom hairpin in her hair was almost knocked off.
After she saw the two dried rabbits that Su Hua was carrying.
A pair of squinty eyes widened instantly, staring at Su Hua with great displeasure. "You little brat, even if you're greedy, you shouldn't be this greedy! How dare you come to my son's house to take food? Is this how I, old woman Su, have always taught you?!"
After saying that, he pointed his finger at Su Hua's nose and started cursing.
"Let me tell you, a fat, ugly, stupid girl like you isn't even good enough to carry my son's shoes! You think you can trick people into giving you food? Don't you know you should go back and take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see if you have the ability!"
As she spoke, she reached out with both hands to snatch the dried rabbit from Su Hua's arms.
"Oh—your son?"
The girl raised her lips, deftly dodging the woman's hand with a sideways movement, and sneered, "Isn't your son always hiding in his room, too ashamed to show his face? If you want to find your son, go look for him at your own home. What are you doing here? There's no such son here!"
Old Man Xiao and Old Woman Xiao had two sons: Xiao Jinhan, the eldest, and Xiao Jinyan, the second.
However, the Xiao family has always kept a low profile and rarely interacted with the people of Shanghe Village. In particular, their second son, Xiao Jinyan, has been raised at home since birth, and the number of times the villagers have seen him can be counted on one hand.
All I know is that they just got married not long ago.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jinhan loosened his clenched fist slightly.
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" Old Mrs. Xiao said indignantly, then glared at the man beside her. "Xiao Jinhan crawled out of my belly, so I can come to see him whenever I want."
Moreover, all of Xiao Jinhan's things belong to my Xiao family. You'd better put down those two rabbits you're holding.
Otherwise, I'll let everyone in Shanghe Village know that you, Su Hua, seduced my son!
When I last came to see Xiao Jinhan, I saw these rabbits, but this wolf cub didn't give me a single one.
Instead, they gave it to the young lady of the Su family without saying a word.
Moreover, they sent two at a time.
If there's nothing between these two, even a fool wouldn't believe it.
"Heh, is your memory failing you, Auntie? This is a written agreement severing ties, so he's no longer your son!" Su Hua lightly dusted off her sleeves and deliberately held up the rabbit in her hand to show her.
"If you want a rabbit, you'll have to see if Young Master Xiao is willing to give you even a blade of grass."
As for whether it's seduction or not, if you want to talk about it, then go ahead and do so.
You say that one minute, and my mother brings her whole family, young and old, to your doorstep to make a scene. Then it won't be something you can just let go of!"
"You brat! You're threatening me?!" Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xiao's two caterpillar-like eyebrows instantly stood up.
Although the family didn't go out last night, they still heard about the disturbance caused by the Su family at the Meng family's door.
The reputation of the Meng family has been completely ruined by the Su family.
In the end, not only did they send a woman in, but they also lost twenty taels of silver for nothing.
"Tsk, what threats? Why say such harsh things?" Su Hua's lips curled slightly, her almond-shaped eyes blinked, and she looked Xiao Laopo up and down for a long time, making Xiao Laopo feel a chill in her heart.
Fang said with a regretful expression.
"Not only are these eyes small, but the two round things inside are blind!"
It's rare for a thousand-year-old bamboo shoot to finally grow a good one, yet the old woman still insisted on pushing it outside.
Even the ancestors underground would be running themselves ragged trying to keep up!
Old Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a long time before she realized that Su Hua was calling her blind.
"So what if we sever ties?" the woman retorted coldly. "Even if we sever ties, Xiao Jinhan is still a member of the Xiao family, with the blood of the Xiao family flowing in his veins. Even if we take it to the authorities, it will still be the same principle!"
If she had known that Xiao Jinhan could still hunt even after he became lame, how could she have possibly driven him away?
However, it's not too late now. Before she came, she had made up her mind that if Xiao Jinhan dared to eat and drink well by himself and ignore her parents and younger brother, she would go to the government to sue him for being unfilial.
"Oh dear, they're actually going to take it to the authorities, that's really something." Su Hua patted her chest fearfully, then raised her almond-shaped eyes and glanced at the woman's suddenly straightened back. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "Go ahead and sue, we'll see what the truth is then."
