Holding Grandma Xu's hand, Shu Jiaying checked her pulse, but Grandma Xu's pulse was very chaotic, and Shu Jiaying's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Feng Qiao'er was watching from the side. She was worried that Village Chief Xu would just come back when Grandma Xu woke up. Not wanting to delay it too long, she urged Shu Jiaying, "Miss, can you do this? You don't look like a doctor. Stop messing around and delaying my mother's treatment. Hurry up and help me get a doctor from the village. If you keep going on like this, will my mother still be alive?"
"Shut up!"
Shu Jiaying was a little annoyed by Feng Qiaoer's nagging, so she scolded her rudely.
Feng Qiaoer felt guilty, so she really shut her mouth, but her eyes were still staring at Grandma Xu's every move.
After taking Grandma Xu's pulse repeatedly, Shu Jiaying finally confirmed that she was likely to become a vegetable, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
After sniffing, Shu Jiaying turned around and looked at Feng Qiaoer. She asked, "Do you know when Uncle Xu will be back?"
Feng Qiaoer was stunned at first, looking at Shu Jiaying's expression of wanting to cry but trying hard to hold it back, she was wondering if Grandma Xu was really going to die?
Her heart was suddenly filled with joy, but on the surface, Feng Qiao'er squeezed out a few tears and asked, "I don't know when the adults will come back, young lady... Looking at your expression, my mother... my mother might not be ready anymore, right?"
"That's not the case, but her situation..."
After a pause, Shu Jiaying did not continue.
Feng Qiaoer became anxious.
"Miss, what's wrong with my mother? Don't stop talking, this... is really frustrating."
Shu Jiaying ignored Feng Qiaoer and removed the silver needle that was inserted into Grandma Xu's body.
Seeing that Shu Jiaying put all the silver needles into the box, Feng Qiaoer felt that Grandma Xu was beyond cure. Since Shu Jiaying was unwilling to speak, she did not ask any further.
The two men sat facing each other for a long time before Village Chief Xu finally came back from outside. He also bought a lot of food and daily necessities.
Seeing that no one was in the main hall, Lizhang Xu called out to his room, "Qiao'er, I'm back. Come out quickly and see what goodies I brought you."
When Feng Qiaoer heard the voice of Village Chief Xu, she stood up from her chair excitedly, and the smile that inadvertently appeared on her face was noticed by Shu Jiaying.
The lines on her face stiffened for a moment, and Feng Qiaoer then realized that she shouldn't be so ostentatious at this time.
Feng Qiaoer put away her joy, lowered her head and ran out of the room. As soon as she saw Village Chief Xu, she threw herself into his arms and pretended to cry.
"Sir... Mom is in your room now, but I'm not afraid she's dying..."
"What?"
The smile on his face froze, and Village Chief Xu asked in disbelief, "Wasn't my mother fine when she left earlier? Oh...why is she in my room? How could she suddenly become ill?"
Feng Qiaoer wiped the tears from her face and looked at Village Chief Xu with her big innocent eyes.
"Sir... I don't know what happened. I felt a little tired when you went out, so I lay on your bed for a while. But then mother suddenly came into the room with her cane and hit me for no reason. I didn't resist, but she fell on me without any warning. There was a girl in the room who can testify to this. She saw it with her own eyes!"
