Chapter 96 The Evil Stepmother
Jiang Cha used his hands to dig into Wu Xiaocao's throat to induce vomiting.
"Brother, go get a car and come over here. Xiaocao needs to be taken to the hospital for gastric lavage."
"Huh? Oh, I'll go right away."
He Meishan and Li Cuilian went to Wu Xiaocao's house together to look for someone.
Jiang Cha knew that Wu Xiaocao was a poor child.
Her mother died of complications during childbirth, and her grandmother despised her as a waste, so she wanted to leave her in the snow and ice in the cold winter to freeze to death.
If it weren't for a kind neighbor who picked her up, called the army, and told her father Wu Youcai about this, she would not be alive today.
After receiving the call, Wu Youcai took leave overnight and brought Wu Xiaocao to the army. But how could he, a grown man, take care of a child?
Soon, he found a partner. The woman's husband had died, and he was left without a wife. The two hit it off and submitted a marriage report to the army.
At first, the woman was very nice to Wu Xiaocao, but within two years, the woman gave birth to a son.
After having her own child, Wu Xiaocao became an annoying burden.
In addition, the woman was a powerful character who was very calculative about everything. She held Wu Youcai's money tightly, and gave almost all of the food rations that were withheld from Wu Xiaocao and the remaining money from Wu Youcai every month to her younger brother from her natal family.
Everyone in the compound knew that this woman was not good to Wu Xiaocao.
But Wu Youcai couldn't see through this.
No one knows where Wu Youcai has gone. He is not at home.
Ma Yanni feeds her own son steamed eggs at home.
The six-and-a-half-year-old boy was chubby and round, and looked at least two sizes bigger than the ten-year-old Wu Xiaocao.
Things like favoring boys over girls should be family matters.
But this time, the commotion was really too big.
"Ma Yanni, please come with us."
"I'm feeding the baby, what are you doing?"
"What? What did I ask you?"
He Meishan pulled her arm and asked, "Tell me, what did you feed Xiaocao?"
"I just made some steamed eggs for our Tianbao, and Xiaocao was clamoring for some, so I specially steamed a bowl for her. What's going on? I gave her eggs, and she ate them wrong?"
"You'd better really give her the steamed eggs." He Meishan and Li Cuilian each grabbed one of Ma Yanni's arms and dragged her out of the house.
Wu Tianbao threw the unfinished egg custard and the bowl to the ground.
Wu Tianbao, who was over six years old, didn't care what Ma Yanni was doing. He only knew that he was not full yet, but his egg custard was knocked to the ground by the two women in front of him.
"You have to compensate me for the egg custard!"
The chubby little boy suddenly lunged forward and bumped into He Meishan's back.
“Ouch, oh oh…”
He Meishan lost her balance and was knocked forward uncontrollably, falling on another military wife and almost knocking her down. That was the end of it.
The bones in her back ached, and before she could turn around, Wu Tianbao started yelling.
"You have to compensate me for the egg custard. If you don't, I will kill you today."
"How small is it? And yet you keep saying you want to kill someone. How scary is that?"
Those who heard this couldn't help but grumble.
Wu Tianbao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, looking as if he wanted to cut He Meishan into pieces, which really scared everyone.
He raised his fist, shouted "Ah", and was about to hit He Meishan.
Fortunately, Huo Tingkun came back in time and grabbed Wu Tianbao's collar from behind.
"Do you know what it means to respect your elders? Do you still want to beat someone up? Go call your father. I want to ask him how he raises his children."
How could he develop such a lawless character?
"I vomited, I vomited, I finally vomited it out."
Jiang Cha cleaned Wu Xiaocao's throat and poured water into it. After doing this several times, he finally made Wu Xiaocao vomit out everything he had just eaten.
"Yes, keep spitting, Xiaocao, keep going."
"Oh, what did this kid vomit out?"
"Isn't this some dry grass for kindling? Why is she eating it?"
He Meishan, holding onto the painkillers, pointed at what Wu Xiaocao had vomited and asked harshly, "Ma Yanni, didn't you just say you were feeding the child steamed eggs? This is called steamed eggs? Huh?"
Li Cuilian was also very angry. She also had a daughter and hated to see this the most.
"Ma Yanni, I've never seen a woman as vicious as you. It's fine that you usually beat and scold Xiaocao, and let her feed the chickens and ducks, do the laundry, and cook, but you have to give the child something to eat, right? The child is so hungry that he's eating grass after following you, and you're still in there, happily feeding your son egg custard?"
"More than that! When I get up at night, I often hear Xiaocao crying in the corner. It's the coldest time of the year, and other people want thicker quilts to cover themselves, but she's so reluctant to give Xiaocao even a thicker quilt. The child is crying from the cold."
"I often see this child outside digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits to eat. What a pitiful thing!"
Jiang Cha asked Ye Surong to bring her needle bag.
She used silver needles to prick several acupuncture points on Wu Xiaocao's body, and Wu Xiaocao's complexion finally looked better.
Jiang Cha pulled out another silver needle and pierced it into the filthy thing on the ground.
The silver needle turned black in an instant!
"Cha Cha, this is... poisonous?"
There was an uproar, "Really, look at the needle in Doctor Jiang's hand, it's all black!"
Wu Tianbao was frightened by Huo Tingkun and burst into tears.
Ma Yanni doesn't care what others say, she only cares about her baby son.
"Master Huo, even if you are the master, you can't bully children, right? Our Tianbao is just a child, and you're scaring him like this. If he gets hurt, can you bear the responsibility?"
Jiang Cha laid Wu Xiaocao flat on the ground and was almost furious at the sight.
She walked up to Ma Yanni in two or three steps, and slapped her in the face with two slaps, causing blood to seep from the corners of Ma Yanni's mouth.
Jiang Cha has been exercising recently. She put all her strength into hitting people, and her lethality is much greater than before.
"If you have time to worry about your useless son, you should worry more about yourself. You poisoned and killed someone. Even if the murder was unsuccessful, you will have to spend the rest of your life in prison."
"This is the family compound, you little girl, how dare you hit me?"
Sure enough, you only feel the pain when a slap falls on yourself.
"You also know this is a family compound? You poisoned your own stepdaughter in the family compound? Do you even know how to write the word 'Wang Fa'?"
"Don't put the blame on me. I didn't poison her. She died of poison because she ate something she didn't like. What does it have to do with me?"
Jiang Cha was so angry at the woman's shameless appearance that he lost his temper.
Huo Jingye parked the car that came from the army in the yard, "Cha Cha, the car is here, hurry up and get the people up!"
Huo Jingchuan patted Jiang Cha's shoulder and said, "Hurry up and take Xiao Cao to the hospital. Leave this to me."
Huo Tingkun scanned the crowd with his eyes and said, "Qian Weibing, go find Wu Youwei."
"Yes, Commander."
Qian Weibing stood at attention and saluted Huo Tingkun.
Huo Jingye carried Wu Xiaocao to the back seat of the car. Jiang Cha stayed with Xiaocao and used his legs to support her head.
Ye Surong also sat in the passenger seat, accompanying Jiang Cha.
As soon as the car door closed, the crying of the children and the noise of the crowd in the yard were immediately blocked out.
Jiang Cha kept pressing Wu Xiaocao's Neiguanxue point. She was not sure whether Wu Xiaocao had vomited everything in her stomach, so she could only continue pressing the acupoint to induce vomiting while comforting her.
"Little grass, if you want to vomit, just vomit. Don't hold it in. It will be fine once you vomit it out."
Wu Xiaocao felt weak all over and couldn't exert any strength at all.
The light in her eyes faded, and when she opened them, she saw Jiang Cha's worried face.
"Fairy... Fairy Sister, am I... about to die?"
Wu Xiaocao's stomach and throat hurt, and her whole body ached.
Jiang Cha pressed Wu Xiaocao's Neiguan acupoint with increasing force. "No, trust me, you won't die. You will live a long and healthy life. Xiaocao, hold on for a while. We'll be fine once we get to the hospital!"
"Sister, do you...want me to live?"
"hope."
Jiang Cha couldn't hold it in any longer, and she cried as she said, "Sister hopes that Xiaocao can live, live bravely, and live better and better."
Even though her body was in pain, Wu Xiaocao still smiled happily after hearing this.
Mom is dead.
Grandma wished she would die.
Her stepmother cursed her to die early every day.
It turns out that there are still people in this world who want her to be alive?
very nice!
"Xiaocao must...must listen to her sister and live well..."
"Brother, drive faster, faster!"
Huo Jingye accelerated again.
Ye Surong sat in the front, looking back all the time.
"How could that family have the heart to do such a sensible child?"
After finally arriving at the military hospital, Wu Xiaocao was sent to the emergency room.
Jiang Cha finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat on the bench in the aisle, and Ye Surong was by her side. "You've done very well. Xiaocao will be fine."
Jiang Cha thought about it seriously and said, "Mom, can we adopt Xiao Cao?"
Such a poor little girl, when Jiang Cha saw her for the first time, he was reminded of himself in his previous life.
At that time, she dreamed of someone reaching out to her and ending her miserable life.
It’s a pity that she never met such a person until her death.
Now, when she saw Wu Xiaocao, she really wanted to do her best to help her.
"It's not impossible to adopt her, but her father is still alive and he's a soldier. Even if we are willing, Xiaocao and her family may not agree."
"You have to try to know the result, right?"
Ye Surong smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's try it."
She really likes grass.
Huo Jingye quickly raised his hand, "I agree too. Xiaocao is so pitiful to have such a stepmother!"
Fortunately, their stepmother is nice.
Next to the bench was a window. Jiang Cha glanced outside the window and saw Bai Shuyao, whom he had not seen for a long time.
What is she doing in the hospital?
