They managed to dodge it, but the people behind them weren't so lucky. Zhang Ru collided with a middle-aged woman of similar build, and the two fell to the ground at the same time. Everyone gasped in surprise, stunned by the scene. Some people dropped their bowls of rice, spilling the soup all over the ground.
"Ouch!" Yang Ermi cried out as her head hit the table leg. She was only able to stand up with the help of others.
"Who's so blind?"
After Zhang Ru fell to the ground, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach before she could even speak. She clutched her stomach, and sweat poured down her forehead.
Seeing that something was wrong, Qiao Xiaoni let go of Grandma Wu's hand and went to check on her. She found that Grandma Wu was clutching her stomach and couldn't speak. Her face was ashen, and she looked very ill.
"Third Aunt, do you have a stomachache?"
Zhang Ru nodded with difficulty; she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Qiao Xiaoni grabbed her arm, trying to help her up. "Third Aunt, use your strength to help you up. Let's go back inside first."
Zhang Ru looked at Qiao Xiaoni with gratitude, and used her other hand to push herself up.
"What happened?"
Qiao Tianli came out of the house. He had just heard someone shout that something had happened outside. As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw his daughter-in-law lying on the ground. It was obvious that she had been knocked down. Then he saw Yang Ermi being helped up. Had they bumped into each other?
Qiao Sunshi followed closely behind and saw Qiao Xiaoni supporting Zhang Ru, taking the lead.
How did you manage to knock someone down?
Qiao Xiaoni frowned slightly. "I didn't bump into her. My aunt's stomach isn't feeling well. Let's help her inside and then find a doctor to see what happened."
After hearing the gist of the matter from others, Qiao Sunshi pursed her lips.
"It's just a bump, it's nothing serious. Just go back inside and lie down for a while, no need to call a doctor."
Seeing that his daughter-in-law's expression was not right, Qiao Tianli turned around and nudged Qiao Sunshi, "Go out and find Zhao Hongxia to treat your daughter-in-law."
Qiao Sunshi was pushed and got a little angry, so she said something without thinking.
"It's just a fall, what could possibly happen? There's a lot of stuff waiting for me to do in the house, I don't have time to call a doctor. Go yourself, I don't care."
Qiao Tianli was so angry his beard bristled. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have already started beating people up. "If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles." Today was a wedding banquet, and he couldn't let the people outside laugh at him. He turned around and saw his son coming out of the kitchen, holding half a pig's ear.
"Qiao Hainan! Get your ass over here right now! Stop eating! Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?"
Qiao Hainan was completely bewildered. What was going on? What happened?
Qiao Sunshi walked over and pulled the person over, saying, "Look at your good daughter-in-law, she's faking illness again."
"Huh?" Qiao Hainan didn't quite understand. Didn't his wife just run out because he made her angry? Why is she pretending to be sick again?
Seeing that her son was oblivious, Qiao Sunshi said, "She was only bumped into, and she's in so much pain she can't get up? How is that possible?"
Qiao Hainan now understood what was going on; his wife had upset his mother again. He turned to look at Zhang Ru.
"What are you pretending for? With your size, who could possibly hurt you?"
"My stomach hurts." Zhang Ru squeezed out these words through gritted teeth. She felt that she would have collapsed long ago if she hadn't been supported. She had never been in so much pain before. A piercing pain burst out from her abdomen.
