Ms. Luo was terrified and was pushed away by her husband. She didn't dare to say anything more.
If her husband doesn't say anything, she still has control of the situation, but once he takes a move, she loses all her say!
Would she dare to stand up to and defy her?
I wouldn't dare!
The husband is the head of the household; he is like heaven. How can one defy heaven?
Luo could only suppress her panic and watch as Doctor He took Zhao's pulse and diagnosed him, while inwardly cursing Su Nanxi.
It's all that ugly freak's fault!
They're stirring up trouble because they have that loud stuff!
She, Luo, was always invincible in arguments, but this time she was defeated. This ugly woman didn't know how to argue at all. She rambled on and on, but she kept bringing up the key points!
I really underestimated this ugly thing. It was so quiet before, I thought it was easy to bully, but I never expected it to be covered in thorns after it started talking!
Always doing things unexpectedly and not following the rules!
Why did they suddenly call a doctor to treat them again?
This caught her completely off guard, leaving her no time to come up with a solution!
Now look what's happened! Even her husband is starting to suspect her!
Then she'll have to cry and plead her loyalty again!
Hmph! That ugly woman is so hateful!
Isn't she just trying to gain some benefits? Why can't we just turn a blind eye?
The Mo family's life got better and better. They made a fortune quietly and even moved into a big mansion. They must have a lot of money!
The Zhao family has many members, but no income. They can hardly afford to eat meat. They are so poor, shouldn't the Mo family help them out?
How can someone forget their poor relatives just because they've become rich?
If they don't help openly, then they'll have to plan their own way and do it covertly!
Everything was going well, and everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan, but it was all thwarted by this ugly woman!
That sister-in-law is a real piece of work. She's been making noise outside for so long, is she deaf? Didn't she hear the commotion? Why didn't she come out and check?!
What a heartless woman!
She only said a few hurtful things, why be so heartless as to not even come out to greet her family when they arrived?
When I see this, I'll definitely give her a good scolding. How can she be such a terrible daughter!
Liu, standing nearby, was also uneasy. She secretly glanced at Luo and, seeing Luo's resentful expression, knew what Luo was thinking. She couldn't help but sneer inwardly!
What kind of time is this to blame the mute woman and her sister-in-law!
We should find a way to deal with the possible events that might occur next!
Liu secretly regretted it; how could she have been so stupid to cooperate with Luo!
They thought they could get away with it!
That's incredibly stupid!
My brain is stuffed with mush!
If the truth were revealed, she could imagine what her fate would be!
Although her husband wasn't exactly gentle and considerate towards her, at least he was family-oriented and never neglected her needs when there was food!
I probably won't care about her anymore!
Liu was filled with remorse and wanted to confess to her husband immediately, but she also had a glimmer of hope and wanted to try her luck at the last chance!
The two Zhao brothers ignored their wives and rushed over to look at Doctor He, waiting for his words!
He Langzhong thought the person was truly on the verge of death and used all his strength to diagnose and examine him, only to find that it was not so!
This infuriated him. What kind of person was he to dare joke about his life like that!
This is contempt for life and disrespect for life!
That mute woman is really something, how could she report such a serious case!
No, that's not right. The Zhao family might have exaggerated the situation, and the mute woman was unaware of the truth, which is why they asked him to come and diagnose her!
Judging from this situation, that should be the case!
The Zhao brothers looked at Doctor He with wide, anxious eyes, fearing he might utter some deadly news!
Su Nanxi stood at the back, not worried at all, and even had the leisure to carefully observe the changes in Luo Shi and Liu Shi's expressions.
Although she had never studied medicine, she could still tell how serious a person's injury was. Look at this old man Zhao, he was in good spirits, not thin from being bedridden, nor did he seem depressed from suffering from illness. It's just that he couldn't speak!
She felt that Old Man Zhao should be alright.
Sure enough, Doctor He spoke up, “You don’t need to be so nervous. The patient did fall, but thankfully he wasn’t injured. He just twisted his ankle, and he probably had his bones set. It’s nothing serious. He just needs to go home and rest for a while. It’s not a big deal. Why did you have to say he was on the verge of death? You scared this old man to death!”
Upon hearing that their father was alright, the two brothers breathed a huge sigh of relief. "Thank goodness! He's alright!"
Zhao Laoda suddenly realized something and asked, "Then why can't my dad speak? He used to speak very fluently, it's only after he injured his leg that he became like this. Is it possible that he injured his neck?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor He immediately examined Old Man Zhao.
Luo and Liu exchanged a furtive glance before quickly looking away.
His guilty conscience was very obvious.
Su Nanxi looked closely; Luo Shi and Liu Shi's hands were almost twisted to shreds at the hem of their clothes!
It seems that Old Man Zhao's injury is quite suspicious!
If it really was those two sisters-in-law who did it, then they are absolutely wicked. What's the point of keeping them around? Just divorce them!
After examining the patient, Doctor He shook his head. "There's no injury to the neck. There are two possibilities: one is that the patient may have been extremely frightened and temporarily lost their speech; the other is that the injury is rather hidden, and my medical skills are limited, so I can't detect it! If you don't believe me, you can take the patient to the town or county to find a doctor with better skills."
This answer is not reassuring!
That's as good as saying nothing!
We still don't know the reason!
However, one should not be rude to doctors, especially those who are too poor to afford medical treatment. Who knows when you might need their help!
Therefore, the Zhao brothers still had to thank Doctor He very politely and sincerely.
Doctor He waved his hand, "No need to thank me! It's what I should do! Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say, you can decide what to do! She's fine, she'll recover after a few days of rest! Don't cause any more trouble, go home now! The mute woman will pay my consultation fee!"
Doctor He thought the Zhao family couldn't afford medical treatment, which was why they came to the Mo family to ask the mute woman for help, so he told the Zhao family to go back.
The mute woman thanked Doctor He and gave him the consultation fee. Doctor He, unwilling to get involved in other people's business, took the fee and left.
The crowd started chattering again.
The Zhao brothers felt utterly humiliated and ashamed, wishing they could disappear into a hole in the ground!
Su Nanxi picked up the megaphone and cleared her throat twice. "I'm sure everyone heard clearly! Old Master Zhao is actually fine, and we all hope he lives a long and healthy life! But now that things have come to this, we have to give my second sister-in-law and Niu justice! Don't you all agree? My second sister-in-law took several taels of silver with her when she went back to her parents' home, but when she came back, she had nothing on her, not even her favorite pair of earrings! This is not normal!"
Luo and Liu were greatly alarmed. Could it be that Zhao had already told them?
"Why don't you two tell us?"
