The Huang family has been quite lively these past two days.
Old Huang broke his leg again. The doctor said that if he didn't take good care of himself this time, his leg would be useless.
Let alone getting back to the guard, even walking was difficult.

The Huang family mother and daughter were terrified.
Although the person was bumped into by Huang's mother, she felt that the incident was caused by the three women involved.
After taking care of Lao Huang, Huang's mother went to find the three women to demand an explanation. After asking around, she discovered that they had disappeared and no one had seen where they had gone.
Huang's mother angrily went outside to look for him, but was stopped by the trusting neighbors.
"Hey girl, is it true that those three women are saying you're going to find a concubine for your husband?"
"Yeah, how could you think that? Those three women are all pretty and younger than you. Would you really dare to put them next to your husband, Lao Huang?"
The questions from everyone made Huang's mother blush and turn pale. She wanted to explain, but these people didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
"Get out, all of you get out!" Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Huang's mother had no choice but to open the door and kick everyone out.
After the courtyard quieted down, Huang's mother weakly walked into the house.
Huang Mei was sitting by Old Huang's bedside, tears streaming down her face. When she saw her mother come in, she said helplessly, "Mother, when will Father wake up?"

The doctor said that Lao Huang not only injured his leg this time, but also hit his head, which has a bump on it. He will be unconscious for a while before he wakes up.
Huang's mother went over and looked at Old Huang lying on the bed, feeling both heartache and anger.
After all, they had been married for decades, and it was she who had knocked Lao Huang down. Naturally, she felt bad seeing him suffer.
But when she thought about what she saw when she came back, she got angry again. That woman kept leaning against Lao Huang, why didn't Lao Huang know to refuse?
Later, when he asked for help, he was already being beaten on the ground by others, but instead of helping him, he went and started arguing with the woman who was beating him.
Actually, this was a complete misunderstanding of Lao Huang. When she turned around, she could clearly see Lao Huang pulling that woman towards him.
When Huang's mother rushed over, she was furious. Even after seeing the woman turn and leave, she didn't think of changing direction.
She was furious that Lao Huang was helping another woman, which is why she didn't hesitate to bump into him.
Who would have thought that this collision would come at such a high price?
"Xiaomei, don't worry." Huang's mother patted her daughter's shoulder. "I'll watch over your father here. Go back and rest."

"We'll go find President Xu as soon as it's light tomorrow and ask him to stand up for us."
She had only mentioned the matter of having three wives and four concubines to Fu Man'er at the Xu family home. Before she even got home that night, those women of unknown origin had already entered the house.
There's no doubt that Fu Man'er was behind this.
Her husband, Lao Huang, is a government official and a veteran in the guards. How could he be treated like this? She had to go and make a scene with Xu Yi.
"Mother," Huang Mei said, still shaken by what had happened today, "Do you think Xu Qian will help us?"
No matter what, Fu Man'er is a member of the Xu family, and she is Xu Yi's fiancée.
Huang's mother spat on the ground and cursed, "He dares not to help, he won't give us an explanation for what happened today."
“I’m telling you, I’ll move your father to the gate of the guard post and let everyone see what the Xu family is doing.”
“If I tell you again, you will cry and say that Xu Yi made a bad impression on you when you were working for your father in the guard.”
"I refuse to believe that this isn't enough to control them. Does Fu Man'er think I'm someone to be trifled with?"

"Mother," Huang Mei said, her heart pounding with anxiety. "I've never been alone with Commander Xu. Is this some kind of indecent advance?"
After all, it was a young woman's reputation at stake, so Huang Mei was still hesitant. Moreover, the matter was completely fabricated out of thin air, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.
How would anyone know if you two spent time alone together?
"As long as you insist that this happened, I don't think any explanation from President Xu will be of any use."
Huang Mei bit her lower lip helplessly. She didn't know what to do, but she still didn't want to lie.
So he had no choice but to say, "Mother, how about this, we'll go see General Xu tomorrow and see what he says. If he doesn't stand up for us, we'll think of another way."
Seeing her daughter's troubled expression, Huang's mother didn't force her. Some of the things she had just said were out of spite and a bit of a "what's the use" attitude.
She didn't want to use her daughter as a bargaining chip to get Xu Yi to make the decision.
"I know, you should go back to sleep. Put some hot water on your eyes so they don't hurt."
Huang Mei had been crying for a long time, and her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was messy, and there were red scratches on her face.
She was once a beautiful young woman, but now she looks disheveled.
In her mind, Huang's mother cursed those three women and Fu Man'er from head to toe again.
Old Huang woke up not long after and found the whole room quiet. He only saw his wife lying by the bedside and woke her up.
Huang's mother told him what the doctor had said, and told him to rest at home and recover, and that she would find someone to take care of things today.
Old Huang didn't say anything, just kept nodding in response. Finally, Old Huang craned his neck and looked outside.
Are those three women still in our house?
Huang's mother, who had initially felt guilty, turned pale and began to curse at Old Huang, "You only remember those three women."
"Old Huang, have you no shame? Don't you know your own age?"
"You're really thinking about living the life of having three wives and four concubines? Let me tell you, no way."
"Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? You want three wives and four concubines? Do you even deserve it?"
"You have no money and you look no different from a yellow dog. It's only because I don't mind that I've followed you for so many years."
With each curse she uttered, Old Huang's face darkened further. He had never heard such words before, nor did he know that his wife disliked him so much.
