The more Xiaohu's mother scolded him, the angrier she became. She grabbed her nephew and was about to hit him. Andy was so scared that his face turned even paler. From childhood to adulthood, his aunt had rarely scolded Xiaohu but had hit him more often. However, she had always spoken to him gently and never laid a finger on him. Tonight was the first time he had ever seen his aunt get so angry.
"Auntie...my stomach hurts..."
Andy suddenly had a bright idea. He clutched his stomach and cried out in pain. Little Tiger's mother stopped swinging her hand in mid-air and hesitated. Her nephew had been in poor health since he was a child. He went to the hospital every few days and took more medicine than food. So the whole family doted on him and rarely scolded him.
Xiao Hu pouted, looking aggrieved. It was always like this. Whenever his cousin complained of aches and pains, his mother would stop hitting him, but she would hit him without holding back. He must have been adopted; Andy was his mother's biological son.
Andy was secretly pleased with himself. He knew his aunt wouldn't lay a hand on him. As long as he cried out in pain, his aunt would soften her heart. It never failed him.
Ye Qingqing shook her head. This child had completely gone astray. She got up and walked towards Andy, deliberately asking, "Where does your stomach hurt? I'm a doctor, tell me."
The little pig shouted, "My mom is the best! She can cure any disease!"
Xiao Hu's parents were immediately filled with respect. In their hearts, teachers and doctors held the highest status; one was dedicated to educating and nurturing students, while the other was dedicated to saving lives. Both were worthy of respect.
"Tell me where it hurts." Little Tiger's mother thought her nephew was really in pain. Although she was angry, she still hoped that Ye Qingqing could cure Andy, after all, he was her own nephew.
Andy stammered, "It hurts right here, it's throbbing."
He casually pointed to his stomach, avoiding eye contact with Ye Qingqing, and kept his head down.
Ye Qingqing gently pressed on his stomach, "This is the stomach, are you sure it hurts here?"
"No, it needs to be cooked down to the bottom."
Andy pointed downwards again, looking even more flustered. Ye Qingqing didn't expose him and continued pressing. Andy then made a mock groan.
"I'm pressing here, this is the liver. Does it hurt here too?" Ye Qingqing asked deliberately.
Sweat beaded on Andy's forehead, and he looked even more panicked. This woman had tricked him; what should he do now?
Little Tiger's mother also noticed something was wrong, and her face darkened as she shouted, "Where does it hurt? If you lie again, I'll beat you to death!"
"It all hurts, this whole area hurts..." Andy panicked and blurted out whatever came to mind, which angered Tiger's mother so much that she slapped him across the face.
The crisp sound startled Andy, and the burning pain on his face reminded him of what had just happened. Tears streamed down his face, and he felt extremely wronged.
He knew that his aunt never truly loved him; it was all an act for his grandmother's sake. Now that his grandmother was gone, his aunt was beating him.
"You're still lying, not a single word of truth comes out of your mouth, how could you become such a despicable person..."
Little Tiger's mother turned pale with anger. She was truly heartbroken. Andy had lived in her house since he was a child, and she treated him like her own son. But she had raised a little ingrate who had harmed her own son.
She regretted it so much!
Ye Qingqing stopped Xiaohu's mother, who was trembling with anger, and said, "Let's find out what happened first."
Andy covered his face and cried incessantly, his eyes filled with resentment. Suddenly, he rushed out of the house. Little Tiger's mother instinctively chased after him, but seeing that Andy was running towards home, she stopped chasing him. She made up her mind that she could no longer let her nephew stay, and that her brother would take him back tomorrow.
"There's something else I need to tell you. You should take Xiaohu for a medical check-up. It seems there's something wrong with his health, but it's not too late to treat it," Ye Qingqing suggested.
