Chapter 598: Discovery
Before Fubao and Xiaocui could turn around, the bamboo door of the fenced courtyard was kicked open from the outside.
"You damned woman, how dare you lure the little miracle doctor to our house? Are you looking for death?"
The man who came was Gao Hongli, Chunhua's man. He didn't treat Chunhua like this before, but he changed after he took the family's money and said he was going to learn how to do small business from someone. Not only did he not come home all day, but the family's originally well-off financial situation became increasingly stretched.
Behind Gao Hongli followed a group of people from the village, including Old Lady Xu and Old Man Wan.
Gao Hongli came in and kicked his wife in the heart without saying a word, kicking Chunhua far away and making her fall to the ground.
Chunhua had been tortured by illness for some time and was so emaciated that her body fell to the ground like a dead leaf.
"Hongli, don't act like a fool in front of me. Your wife is well-known in our village for being virtuous and capable. What do you want to do by beating her in front of so many people?" Old Mrs. Xu shouted harshly.
Gao Hongli didn't dare to disrespect his elders. If he dared to act arrogantly in front of his elders, he would probably be expelled from the village by the village chief.
"Uncle Xu, I didn't mean it. Don't be angry. I was just mad. This woman is ignorant. It's your good day today, but not only did she not help, she also lured the young doctor to my house, making it difficult for us to find him and wasting time. I beat her to teach her a lesson." Gao Hongli explained with a lick of his cheek.
Old Lady Xu was not buying it. "Hmph, don't think I don't know about your little thing. There are so many people here today. I won't tell you. After the distinguished guests leave, I will go and tell the village chief. You should quickly pull your wife up and apologize. Let's just forget about this for now."
Old Mrs. Xu hates men who beat their wives the most.
Gao Hongli is a man of great adaptability and he really went forward to help Chunhua up.
"Fubao? Why are you here? Everyone is looking for you. The meal is ready and everyone is waiting for you to eat. Why didn't you tell daddy when you came out?" Wan Laoer actually didn't want to blame Fubao, but so many people in the village were waiting for his daughter to start the meal, and he felt a little pressured. He felt guilty if he didn't say something.
However, because of his words, the situation became less awkward and everyone's attention shifted to Fubao.
"Dad, let's go back and eat. Fubao is so hungry."
Fubao first looked at Chunhua worriedly, then smiled and took Wan Laoer's hand and prepared to leave. She was protecting Chunhua, she didn't want everyone to stay here, she wanted to take them away quickly.
Last year, on her way to the capital, Fubao met a woman infected with syphilis. She was infected by her husband, but the villagers believed that the woman was immoral and worked as a prostitute, which was why she contracted this shameful disease. In the end, they burned the woman to death. This scene left a deep mark on her heart.
Wan Laoer couldn't stand his daughter's coquettishness, so he had to shamelessly apologize to the people standing in and outside the yard.
"I'm really sorry, everyone. My daughter is young and naive. She's been playing around a bit. Now that we've found the man, let's go back quickly. Food gets cold quickly when it's cold."
Wan Laoer just wanted to finish his meal quickly and leave. These people were too hospitable and he was a little overwhelmed. When Fubao was providing free medical treatment to the elderly in the village at the village chief's house, he was surrounded by the men in the village to chat. They praised Fubao in various ways, which made Wan Laoer marvel that there were so many words to praise people. They were also very enthusiastic towards him, which he could not stand.
Finally it was time for dinner, but no one had found today's protagonist. There was another flurry of activity. However, Gaoliu Village was small, so it was easy to find someone. Based on the clues provided by the children, they learned that Xiao Cui had taken Fubao to the mountain, so they searched all the way here. When they heard the joyful laughter coming from Chunhua's yard, they realized that Fubao had come here to play.
"Now that we have found the little doctor, shall we hurry back? We can't let the little doctor starve."
Old Mrs. Xu was the investor this time. She treated everyone to a meal and no one contradicted her.
Fubao is the kind of person who will climb up any pole she is given. Upon hearing this, she immediately let go of Wan Laoer's hand and ran over to hug Old Lady Xu's hand.
"Grandma really loves Fubao. Fubao is really hungry."
Old Mrs. Xu was coaxed into laughing by Fubao, and she took Fubao's hand and was about to leave the yard.
Someone suddenly said, "Chunhua, what's wrong with your hand?"
This sentence drew everyone's attention to Chunhua again.
The person who spoke was Xiao Cui's mother. She usually had a good relationship with Chunhua. Just now, Chunhua was kicked hard by Gao Hongli. She cursed Gao Hongli in her heart for being a coward. On the other hand, she was also worried that Chunhua had internal injuries. In addition, Chunhua hardly went out during this period, and she hadn't spoken to Chunhua for some time, so she was quite concerned about Chunhua.
She immediately noticed that there was something wrong with Chunhua's hands. There were red spots all over her palms, which looked extremely scary.
Everyone's eyes were on Chunhua at this moment. Chunhua felt like a clown, being stared at by everyone. She felt that the curious glances were like sharp swords stabbing her.
Chunhua had hidden her hands long ago. The moment Xiao Cuiniang opened her mouth, she hid her hands behind her back.
"It's okay, I just seem to have been crawled by a centipede recently. There are red marks, but it will be healed in a few days."
Chunhua quickly spoke up to interrupt people's daydreaming, she was afraid of being noticed.
"No, that doesn't look like a centipede's crawling. Chunhua, you're not sick, are you? If you feel unwell, you must go see a doctor. You have a child."
Xiao Cuiniang wanted to persuade her, but was immediately interrupted by Chunhua.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, really fine. You guys go eat quickly. Don't worry about me. I'll go see a doctor. The little genius doctor has just examined me. I'll go to town tomorrow to get some medicine to apply on my skin."
"Everyone, let's go eat. This woman is just being pretentious. Don't bother with her. Let's go eat. It's up to her whether she wants to go or not."
Gao Hongli let go of Chunhua with disdain, his tone was very cold and full of disgust.
Fubao clearly saw a trace of loneliness flash across Chunhua's face. She must be very sad now, right?
Fubao really couldn't stand this kind of man. He infected his wife with a dirty disease and now he starts to dislike her and doesn't care whether she lives or dies. Isn't this the sorrow of women that Mr. Wang talked about?
But today, Fubao is here, and she must seek justice for Aunt Chunhua. If it were in the past, she might not have been able to protect Aunt Chunhua, but now she has a good reputation in the village, and it can be seen that everyone respects her. No one will refute what she says, so she can protect Aunt Chunhua. She wants everyone to see the true face of this hateful man. Why should Aunt Chunhua suffer all the hardships?
"Uncle, what's on your neck?" Fubao blinked his big eyes, looked at Gao Hongli's neck curiously, and asked in a clear voice.
Gao Hongli subconsciously touched his neck and found a red scar on his neck, which was already festering.
Everyone's attention was focused on Gao Hongli's neck.
