Hu Lai's face darkened. "Ignorant village woman, doesn't she know that you can't question a man's virility?"
Village chief Li Changgeng rushed over and overheard his wife's words. He was startled: "Honey, if you can't even trust Doctor Hu, who can you trust?"
Liu Cuihua rolled her eyes and glared at her old man with dissatisfaction. "Doctor Hu is so capable, how come Madam Mo still has such a high fever?"
Hu Lai nearly choked on a mouthful of blood. He finally realized that Mo Niangzi was the darling of Nanping Village; she was a treasure, while he was just a weed.
Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
Mo Qingcheng struggled to get up: "Third Grandmother, Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry..."
"Oh, Madam Mo, it's so pitiful that you don't even have a man in your family. If you have anything to say, just tell your sister-in-law. Don't be shy." Liu Cuihua and Mo Qingcheng got along very well, and she felt sorry for her.
Third Grandma held Mo Qingcheng's hand and sighed, "Madam Mo, don't force yourself. You still have Third Grandma and your sister-in-law Cuihua..."
"Oh, thank you so much, Third Grandmother and Sister-in-law. I'm fine, I'll be alright after a couple of days of rest..." Mo Qingcheng's eyes flickered with a hint of guilt. She was putting on an act, and she wasn't really trying to gain sympathy or attention.
A sarcastic voice drifted over, tinged with envy, jealousy, and resentment: "Oh dear, is Sister Cuihua worried about her daughter-in-law? Her husband isn't dead yet!"
"Shut up!" Liu Cuihua was so angry that her veins bulged. "Widow Li, if you keep spewing nonsense, do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?"
Widow Li wasn't afraid at all. She pouted and tilted her head, saying, "Otherwise, why would you be so good to Madam Mo? She's neither my mother nor my mother-in-law. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"You...you widow Li, are you looking for a beating? What's so great about you? Aren't you just hoping that Mo Niangzi's man won't come back and you'll become your daughter-in-law?" Liu Cuihua rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush forward when Third Grandma grabbed her.
"Chang Geng's family, you're so foolish!" Third Grandma frowned slightly. "Widow Li, stop stirring up trouble. Be careful you don't end up with a reputation for being a wicked mother-in-law, and no girl will dare to enter your house..."
Widow Li rolled her eyes: "Hmph! Third Madam, aren't you the same? Don't think I don't know that your Tiezhu has also taken a fancy to Lady Mo..."
"Uncle Doctor, where did this mad dog come from? Quickly poison her to make her mute!" Mo Qingcheng's small face was icy cold, and she raised her eyebrows with a wicked charm.
Widow Li met the young girl's piercing gaze and instinctively shuddered: "You...you...you're so good together, humph! Birds of a feather. Madam Mo, you'd better be careful, lest you be sold out and then happily count the money for someone else. As for whether your man can come back, why don't you go ask the village chief? Haha!"
Liu Cuihua's face turned ashen, but Li Changgeng grabbed her arm, saying, "Mother of my child, stop making a scene."
Liu Cuihua snorted coldly and glared at Li Changgeng. What a spineless man! His own wife was being berated and he didn't even try to help her out.
Li Changgeng was in tears. "My wife, it's not what you think... Your husband is the village chief. If you tear apart a widow, won't people laugh at you?"
Mo Qingcheng smiled and shook her head: "I really... pfft..."
Before the words were even finished, everyone's expression changed drastically. Mo Qingcheng spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell into a coma.
Shangguan Yunxi threw down the shovel and rushed over, crying, "Mother!"
The other children were crying their eyes out. Shangguan Yichen's face darkened, and he turned to leave, but Yun Lei grabbed him.
"where did you go?"
"Avenge my mother!"
