Chapter 038: The world is ridiculous, the world is absurd
At midnight (23:00), the two doctors came out from behind the screen.
Xia quickly ran behind the screen to see her son, but when she saw her son's dead face on the bed, she covered her mouth and tears fell again.
"Doctor, how is Min'er?" Chen Heng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Let's see if this child can pull through. If it's a sore, it'll be troublesome." The doctor sighed. Many people haven't survived the heat, toxins, and pus-filled sores that follow sutures. He hoped this child would pull through. He handed the written prescription to his apprentice, "Hurry and boil the medicine and rub the child's body."
"yes."
Sores, Chen Heng searched the original owner's memory, it turned out to be inflammation, meaning bacterial infection. Yes, she once heard an old classmate who was a doctor say that there were many antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herbal medicines in ancient medicine, which could not be compared with antibiotics, and many people could only rely on hard work to get through it.
When Shen Heng entered the screen, Xia Shi fell to the ground and cried silently. Xie Jian's eyes fell on the little person on the bed, and the whole body exuded a gloomy aura.
Little Xie Min was sleeping peacefully. If it weren't for her lively and rosy little face, and if it weren't for her body being covered in blood, one would have thought she was just sleeping.
Chen Heng turned her back, not daring to look at the child's wound, nor being able to bear it, for fear that she would collapse.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded outside: "Min'er's mother, are you there?"
Hearing this, Xia suddenly stood up from the ground and walked outside. Soon she could hear her crying: "Mei, I treat you like a sister. How could you do such a cruel thing? How could you do it?"
Chen Heng hurried out and saw Xia ruthlessly beating Mei, who was kneeling on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mei let her beat her, crying and apologizing, "I know we were wrong. If you want to beat me, go ahead, even if you kill me."
"Your child's future is important, but my child's life isn't?" When Xia heard the yamen runner's reasons for the butcher's actions, she was heartbroken beyond words. She wished she could have suffered all this for her child. Her heart ached for her child: "How could you be such a person? How could you?"
"We were wrong, we were wrong. I tried to persuade him," Mei said regretfully, "I tried to stop him, but I couldn't."
Chen Heng was extremely angry: "It's not that you didn't stop it, you just didn't try hard enough. You really have a conscience and tried your best. Even if you couldn't stop it, you would have told us a long time ago." She originally thought that Mei was ignorant, but it turned out that she knew.
“I, I…”
Xia no longer had the energy to hit anyone. She looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with hatred. In the past few years, she had been looked down upon by her clansmen and alienated by her friends, but once these people extended a kind hand to her, she forgave them.
Because she hoped that life would get better and better, longing for the days to pass by more and more happily. Just like what Lord Lu said, people can't just live in the past: "How could you do this to me? How could you? What are you doing here? Huh?"
"I, I," Mei cried, not knowing how to start. "Min'er's mother, my family relies on my husband selling pork to make a living. If he goes to jail, we mother and son will not be able to survive. Please, please don't let the government arrest him and put him in jail."
Chen Heng gasped. Mei actually came to beg for mercy? This was ridiculous and absurd.
Xia looked at Mei in disbelief. "How can you say such a thing? My son is still in there, his life or death is uncertain, and you're asking me to let your man go?"
"I know, I know I shouldn't have said that." Mei cried bitterly, "But I can't help it."
"You can't do anything? Then why did you hurt my son in the first place?" Xia shouted at the top of her lungs, shaking Mei's shoulders and yelling, "Give me back my son! Give me back my son!"
Mei suddenly pushed Xia away and stood up: "Hey, I'll give you my life, as long as you don't sue my man and leave a way for us mother and son to live." As she said that, she slammed her head against the pillar next to her.
