Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Get Out of the Mo Family
Inside the thatched cottage
After Xuexue finished giving Chuner water and helped her lie down and covered her with a blanket, she had just sat down when
Madam Xie hurried in with Doctor Xu.
Standing by the bed, Xuexue quickly made room, “Doctor, please come and check on Chuner, she keeps saying it hurts.”
Doctor Xu put down his medicine box from his shoulder and sat down by the bed.
Madam Xie hurried forward to help, lifting Chuner’s clothes to give Doctor Xu a clearer view.
“Doctor, Chuner’s body is covered in wounds, but, the most serious are on her back, the flesh and clothes have fused together, what can we do?” As she spoke, Madam Xie began to wipe her tears again, heartbroken at her daughter’s painful state.
Upon seeing the wounds, Doctor Xu couldn’t help but gasp, shaking his head and said, “Oh! How could Old Lady Mo be so harsh, Chuner is her own granddaughter.”
“That old woman, places more importance on males and looks down on us women,” Xuexue said angrily.
Since it was someone else’s family matter, Doctor Xu couldn’t say much, just sighed and shook his head.
At this time, the village head also came in, “Doctor Xu, how is Chuner’s condition?”
After examining the wounds and checking her pulse, Doctor Xu shook his head, looking compassionately, and said, “Ah! I’m afraid it’s more bad news than good. The beating on her back has blurred the flesh, and most importantly, her internal organs have been damaged too. I will prescribe some medicine, for external and internal use, if she can survive three days, then she might be out of danger.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie couldn’t help crying out, “Doctor, you must heal Chuner, she’s still so young.”
Doctor Xu: “Madam Xie, please stop crying. Whether Chuner can survive this critical condition depends on you now.”
Madam Xie fought back her tears and nodded in agreement, “Hmm.”
“Now, hurry and bring some warm water. I need to remove the clothes stuck to Chuner’s back before applying the medicine. Otherwise, if it takes too long and gets inflamed, it will be even more troublesome,” Doctor Xu instructed, frowning as he looked at the clothes fused with the flesh.
“Ah! I’ll go right away.”
Upon hearing this, realizing the gravity of her daughter’s life and death, Madam Xie raced out without even wiping her tears away, like the wind.
“Mother, I’ll help you.” Xuexue also chased after her.
The members of the Mo family were all eagerly waiting in the courtyard.
Madam Xie ran out swiftly, heading through the courtyard to the kitchen to fetch a basin of warm water for Doctor Xu.
“You worthless woman, get out of the Mo house tomorrow!” Upon seeing Madam Xie come out, Old Lady Mo, unable to suppress her anger, immediately burst into curses.
“Mother-in-law, what are you saying?” Madam Xie, who was running fast, stopped upon hearing the curse, and stared at Old Lady Mo in disbelief, questioning whether she had heard wrong.
“Telling you to get out of our Mo house by tomorrow, such a daughter-in-law is too much for us to bear,” Old Lady Mo, hands on her hips, shouted angrily.
Upon hearing these words, Madam Xie, already devastated, felt as if struck by thunder, “Mother-in-law, what wrong have I committed that you must divorce me?”
“Hmph! Not being able to produce a son is reason enough.”
Madam Xie, upon hearing this, was speechless, stood stunned for a moment, then turned and walked into the kitchen to fetch water, fully aware that at this moment, her younger daughter’s life was more important.
“Hmph! Daring to challenge me?” As she watched the distraught Madam Xie, Old Lady Mo sneered slightly, feeling somewhat pleased with herself.
“Old woman, the village head is still inside. It’s not appropriate to speak at this time,” Old Master Mo said, tugging at her arm.
“What’s there to be scared of? These are our Mo family’s domestic affairs, and as the village head, he should speak reasonably too,” After scolding Madam Xie, Old Lady Mo’s anger seemed to subside somewhat.
