Chapter 88 He drank arsenic
"What's so great about city people! One looks down on us, another complains about our dirty water, and I think her mouth is dirty too!"
"If you don't drink, you won't have to wash the dishes!"
Feng Xiaowan picked up the water that Li Molan hadn't touched and poured it into the vegetable garden.
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Why bother with irrelevant people?"
They say they don't want the medicinal herbs, but then they ask for them without hesitation, as if everyone else has to fawn over them.
What a big face!
If Tian Leshan doesn't come back soon, his woman will ruin the family business!
The two had barely left when Old Man Lu rushed home in a panic.
"Qingqing! Grab the medicine box and come with your father!"
"What's wrong, Dad?" Lu Qingqing was startled.
Old Man Lu usually doesn't take in patients for her, and sometimes he even turns them away.
She was so anxious because she thought something had happened to Lu Feng and Lu Yun.
"Your Uncle Crow's daughter drank arsenic!"
Arsenic is extremely poisonous!
There is simply no solution in this era.
How dare Dad let her take such a risk today?
Then, Old Man Lu told him the reason.
"He was discovered early and given feces, which he then vomited out, but he remained unconscious. The town doctor told him to go home and wait, and that he would live if he woke up."
"Qingqing, go check on him. I know Old Crow Li; even if he dies, he won't blame you."
Old Man Lu and Old Man Li would bicker whenever they met, but it wasn't a real argument; it was just a verbal sparring match.
But, does Uncle Crow have the final say when it comes to his daughter's marriage?
It seems her father is really anxious; his relationship with Uncle Crow is even better than she imagined.
*
A large crowd had gathered outside Li Laogua's house, making a lot of noise.
Some cried out, "You wicked creatures! You wicked creatures! What sins have I, Li Ming, committed to give birth to such inhuman beings!"
That was the voice of Li Laogua.
The grown men were wailing and lamenting, utterly devastated.
It turned out he had brought his daughter back on his back, but his sons and daughters-in-law blocked the door from letting him in.
The people around were all saying, "Bring him home first! He's still alive! You, as his elder brother and sister-in-law, are so heartless!"
“Oh, Aunt Ding, you make it sound so easy. She’s already married. What would it look like if she died in her parents’ home?” said Li Laogua’s eldest daughter-in-law.
Old Crow Li had four sons, but apart from the youngest, the other three didn't care about his younger sister.
Now the third and fourth sons have gone to repair the irrigation canal, and the rest of them aren't allowed to come in.
Aunt Ding sighed.
She has a lot going on at home, how could she dare to agree!
Midwife Aunt Li couldn't bear to watch any longer, and gritted her teeth: "Old Li! Then carry me home first!"
"Don't move, don't move, my daughter is here!" Old Man Lu shouted.
The crowd automatically parted to make way.
Old Crow Li sat on the ground holding his daughter. Upon hearing the sound, two more tears streamed down his cloudy eyes.
"Old Lu, please save my daughter. I won't call you a fool or your daughter a troublemaker. Your daughter is sensible, filial, cooks well, knows how to treat illnesses, and is good at everything. Is that okay?"
Please save my daughter!
He looked at Old Man Lu like a clueless child, as if he were seeing a relative.
Old Man Li would always try to outdo him whenever he saw him, and he would argue with him every day. Old Man Lu had never seen him in such a pitiful state.
"Why are you saying all this now? Get out of here and don't delay Qingqing's medical treatment."
Li Laogua's daughter, Li Meng, had her eyes closed and her face was ashen; she looked like she was on the verge of death!
Lu Qingqing quickly squatted down to check and take her pulse.
The heartbeat is weak, the pulse is deep and feeble, and blood circulation is obstructed.
This is... an internal injury!
At this point, acupuncture must be administered immediately to drain the stagnant blood; otherwise, the person will die!
The arsenic residue also needs to be removed, otherwise it will cause long-term problems.
"It's too late! Uncle Crow! Go home and get a sheet to cover this area! I need to administer acupuncture immediately!"
"Sixi, go home and brew the medicine. Take three qian each of the numbers 3, 8, 15, and 28, and boil them down to one bowl with three bowls of water."
The medicine cabinets in the house are all labeled with numbers, and she was afraid that Sixi would make a mistake, so she just told him the numbers.
After she finished speaking, Sixi took off running.
Li Laogua also jumped up and rushed home.
"Dad, you can't interfere. If the Liang family comes and something goes wrong, they'll blame us!"
Several daughters-in-law stopped Li Laogua.
Old Crow Li slapped his eldest daughter-in-law across the face, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.
The eldest daughter-in-law felt a sudden ringing in her head and ears.
The daughters-in-law were so frightened that they immediately made way for them.
"Once Xiaomeng wakes up, we'll split up the family! I'll stay with the fourth brother!"
In the past, he always tried to maintain peace at home, believing that harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.
This made them all think he had a good temper.
This time, he finally saw through his sons and daughters-in-law.
Good thing you broke up!
A bunch of heartless wolves and wolves, devoid of any humanity!
The eldest and second eldest sons of the Li family then looked grim.
The fact that the third and fourth sons separated from the family before they were even married makes it obvious that they had a falling out.
Furthermore, after the family split up, the elders stayed with the eldest, not the younger ones.
Old Crow Li split up the family property and followed the fourth son again, which was to tell the villagers: the eldest and second eldest sons are no good!
Ignoring them, Lu Qingqing suddenly inserted a needle into Li Mengtian's Neiguan acupoint and then used her fingers to poke her throat.
Li Meng didn't wake up, but her body convulsed and she started vomiting again.
At first, the vomit smelled terrible; it was because they had swallowed some fecal matter that they hadn't completely vomited out.
She vomited yellow bile, and only then did Lu Qingqing tell her to stop.
This time, everyone around saw it clearly.
Lu Qingqing can make anyone vomit when she tells them to, and stop when she tells them to; her medical skills are truly remarkable!
Li Laogua quickly brought out several sheets.
Aunt Li, Aunt Ding, and several other women surrounded Li Meng.
Lu Qingqing took off Li Meng's clothes.
Aunt Li and the others immediately gasped.
Li Meng's chest and abdomen were covered in bruises, a truly horrifying sight!
"Sister-in-law Li, what's wrong?" Old Crow Li asked anxiously.
"Meng girl, you've been beaten up!"
Yes, his daughter was beaten up.
The man who hit her was her son-in-law.
The old woman's son who came to tell him the news said that Liang Youtian had been hitting people more and more frequently lately.
At first, the neighbors heard the commotion and tried to persuade them to stop.
Later, when he hit her again, he would strip his daughter naked, straddle her, and beat her, making her too ashamed to run away.
The neighbors were afraid of attracting gossip, so no one went in to persuade them.
No wonder his daughter hadn't come back for the past few months; he thought she didn't want to come anymore because she was bullied by his sisters-in-law last time.
After being beaten, the daughter drank arsenic.
Thanks to the elderly woman next door who was worried and secretly went in to check on things after Liang Youtian left, her daughter's life was saved.
Then he sent his son to tell him the news.
Old Crow Li slapped himself hard.
He didn't even know his daughter had been beaten!
I thought she was doing well.
He even bragged to Lao Lu.
What kind of father is he?!
"Old Lu, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
I told my daughter that she was being filial by bringing me food and buying me shoes.
Who knew that all of that was earned by the daughter being beaten?
At first, Liang Youtian still had some conscience. After hitting the person, he regretted it, gave his daughter money, and bought her things to apologize.
After that, he became utterly awful and showed absolutely no remorse.
Old Crow Li pounded his chest. When he was eating the pastries his daughter gave him, didn't he notice that his daughter's face was abnormally pale?
"Old Lu, I don't deserve to be a father!"
"Old Crow Li! What's the use of saying this now! We'll get it back for Meng'er when she wakes up!"
Yes, he won't let Liang Youtian get away with it!
His own son didn't stand up for his sister, so as a father, he was determined to settle accounts with the Liang family, even if it cost him his old bones!
Speak of the devil and he appears.
Just then, people from the Liang family arrived!
