Chapter 471 Mother and daughter reunite, Shu Ying immediately saves her mother. This old lady Yao's house is too far away and too remote, almost at the end of the village, and the surrounding roads are difficult to travel.
It was getting late, and Shu Ying and her group were walking with great difficulty, using flashlights as they went.
We were almost there when we turned a corner and suddenly saw someone rushing out of a house.
When the person got closer, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old woman.
The old woman's hair was disheveled from running, and her eyesight seemed a bit blurry. She suddenly looked up and saw several people blocking the way ahead. Startled, she tried to stop, but accidentally stepped into a pit and fell heavily down.
Shu Ying was startled and quickly went forward to help him.
Fortunately, Xie Zhiyan reacted quickly and caught the old lady before she fell solidly to the ground.
"Grandpa, you..."
Before she could even ask, "Are you alright?" the old woman grabbed Shu Ying's arm tightly as if she had grasped a lifeline, looking extremely anxious.
[Help... Could you please go and get the village doctor? The people inside are very sick, they need help...]
The old woman waved her arms frantically, gesturing anxiously, her face streaked with tears.
Shu Ying frowned and looked at it carefully for a long time, realizing that the other person seemed to be saying that someone was injured and had fallen down, but she couldn't quite make out the rest of the meaning.
Just as I was wondering, I could faintly hear the sounds of discussion from not far away.
A group of men gathered together scoffed disdainfully.
"Look at this old woman, she's so anxious, it's really funny."
"She's not even her own daughter, is it really necessary?! What a busybody!"
"Exactly! That woman is basically a stranger we picked up. We don't even know her identity. She might be a fugitive who escaped here!"
"And this old woman still treats her like her own daughter? It's ridiculous! She's just overflowing with sympathy! Her own husband's illness hasn't even been cured yet!"
"If you ask me, it would have been better to have given this woman to one of our brothers as a wife last time. At least she could have been of some use before she died."
"Look, she didn't give it to me last time, and now this woman is so sick. She might not even be alive in a couple of days. In that case, this old woman will have wasted her money and effort and won't get anything in return. It'll all be a waste of her time!"
Shu Ying wasn't sure where the old lady who adopted her mother lived either, so she had to ask around.
But after hearing what these people said, she suddenly had an idea.
Shu Ying turned around and exchanged a glance with her father and Xie Zhiyan.
They clearly think so too.
Shu Ying asked the old woman in a soft voice, "You've taken in a strange woman, haven't you? Is the one who's sick this strange woman?"
The old lady nodded frantically, her face streaked with tears.
The old woman cried and begged desperately.
Shu Ying quickly tried to comfort her.
"Please don't worry, I'm a doctor too. Could you take me to see the patient first?"
If I'm not mistaken, this person is most likely the mother.
Upon hearing this, the old lady quickly wiped away her tears, nodded hastily, and took Shuying's hand to walk inside.
Xie Zhiyan and Shu Wenyuan quickly stepped forward to help, following the direction the old lady pointed out as they searched inside.
Pushing open the dilapidated and rotten wooden door, the scene inside immediately came into view.
The room was dilapidated, with only a wooden table that was about the same age as the wooden door. The whole room reeked of an indescribable smell of decay.
The group looked around and saw an old man lying on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Shu Ying quickly went over to take a look and found that it wasn't true, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that those men weren't talking about this old woman at all?
