"Big boy, go call the village chief."
After getting the answer she wanted, Xia Manni asked Da Wa to ask the village chief.
This severing of ties is not something that can be done casually. Elder relatives must be present, and the village chief and manager must also be present.
There were many cases of broken relationships in the village. She had seen it several times when she was young.
Da Wa nodded behind Xia Manni and then ran out.
"Doctor, please come and see her." She said to the old doctor who had not left yet.
"Yes, yes, yes, Doctor Sun, please come and take a look, please save our Daxiu..." Daxiu's mother said while wiping her tears and crying sadly.
Those who didn't know the truth thought that Xia Manni was the bully who insisted on bullying her and her daughter.
There was another round of voices condemning Xia Manni in the crowd.
She didn't even blink.
The people in the village were like this, kind and nosy. They would help when they needed help, but most of them only believed the weak and only helped the weak.
It's not just the people in the village. Later, when she started working, she found that perhaps this was human nature.
Fortunately, Xia Manni was a person of strong will. If she had let the two of them go today, she and the four kids would have been left with nothing.
"Doctor, is my daughter okay?" Daxiuniang said crying.
The old doctor stroked his beard. He had heard of this family before. Just a few days ago, just after the money for the son's death was delivered, the head of the family passed away.
At that time, he was still sighing, wondering what to do with only an old woman and four children left at home.
Who would have thought that within two days this woman actually bought another woman, calling her her new daughter-in-law.
The son is gone, so what’s the point of buying a daughter-in-law?
She just wanted to find someone to share the hardship with her, and then he stopped paying attention to her.
Who would have thought that today, while he was providing free medical treatment at the village entrance, someone came to him in a panic, saying that someone had died in this family, and the tone of their voice sounded as if the person was about to die.
He ran over quickly with a medicine box, but when he arrived at the scene he found out that only his wrists had been cut.
He listened outside for a long time and roughly understood what was said.
It turned out that the woman bought her daughter-in-law so that she could escape, and the daughter-in-law was forced to hit her head against the wall, and later she didn't know how she came back to life.
I guess he was pushed to the edge of his wits, otherwise who would risk their life for something?
Doctor Sun pondered for a moment and said truthfully, "Nothing serious, no injuries to the bones or muscles."
"Ah? Is everything okay?" Daxiuniang's voice immediately rose. She wanted to take this opportunity to get the money back.
Doctor Sun rolled his eyes at Da Xiuniang and said, "Do you think there's something wrong with my diagnosis? Even though there's bleeding, it's just a cut on the skin. I'll give you some medicine and it'll be fine. You don't even need to take any medicine."
She didn’t know if it was Xia Manni’s illusion, but she felt that there was praise in the look in Doctor Sun’s eyes when he said this.
Praise?
Are you praising her for having the sense to not cut into any bones?
To be honest, she started doing housework when she was eight years old. From then on, she was the one who slaughtered all the chickens, ducks, fish, geese, and pork in the family.
Her knife skills were precise and fast, and many neighbor aunts called her for help.
As soon as Doctor Sun finished speaking, the people around him became excited again.
"So nothing happened? Xia Manni is really lucky, otherwise it would be bad luck if someone died."
“Yes, it’s a good thing that Xia Manni is so brave and ruthless, otherwise Da Xiuniang would have run away by now.”
"Hey, hey, hey, that's not what you said just now." The aunt on the side complained.
…
Not long after Doctor Sun finished bandaging Daxiu's wound, he saw Da Wa coming over with an elderly uncle.
This uncle is the village chief Zhao of Shizai Village.
Village Chief Zhao had heard the noise when the family started to quarrel, but since it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, he wanted to hide away if possible.
It’s just that what Da Xiuniang did was a little too extreme.
He didn't come out until the eldest boy in the family came to find him.
When Da Wa came to see him, he didn't look panicked at all. He even said to him calmly, "Village Chief, please come to my house. My family... wants to sever the relationship."
He was very surprised at the time, as it was not uncommon for families in the village to break off relations. After all, there would always be some unhappiness in the family, but this family had no relatives, so why would they break off relations with anyone?
Could it be that Da Xiuniang wants to break up with these four kids?
"Who wants to break off relations?"
"I'm breaking off my relationship with my grandmother," Da Wa said firmly. If Xia Manni hadn't brought the knife, he wouldn't have understood his grandmother and aunt's intentions.
When he saw his grandmother and his aunt sneaking around with bags on their backs, he felt something was amiss, so he asked about it, but his aunt scolded him and told him to mind his own business, then pushed him away.
Later, Xia Manni came out shouting and called all the neighbors over.
It was almost evening, and many people in the village were returning from farm work.
Their house was the only way back to the village, so a lot of people gathered there.
He hadn't expected Xia Manni to hit a wall. She had only been in their house for a few days. He was a little surprised at first. Their family was so poor, how could they have the money to buy someone?
Who would have thought that his grandmother actually wanted to abandon them? If Xia Manni hadn't gotten up from the ground, he would have stopped his grandmother and asked for an explanation.
Unexpectedly, Xia Manni successfully got the money and scared the other party. Now that the money is in hand, his grandmother will not give them a good face even if she keeps it, so it is better to take this opportunity to break up.
