Everyone’s face changed. Ms. Xu almost passed out, but was supported by Yang Xiaoni at the last minute.
Qiao Xuan asked in a calm manner. “Just the legs, right? Nothing else? It is fine, we can hire a doctor if he suffers from pain. Don’t worry, Elder Sister-in-law!”
“Yes, yes!” Ms. Fang nodded, as she saw the messenger. “My son is okay otherwise, isn’t he?”
That man felt a little scared seeing Ms. Xu getting frightened.
After all, it was a pregnant woman. If something happened to the baby, the first section of the family would kill him for bringing that message.
He said, “No, nothing else. Just the stone that hit his legs…”
Qiao Xuan thanked him swiftly and said, “Mom, let Third Brother and Qi get him home now. I will go with Taotao into the town to fetch a doctor. Just console Elder Sister-in-law and tell her he will be fine.
Shao Yunduan had taken the donkey cart when he went to Master Yun’s place.
Shao Sanlang was always the one driving, but he was helping Qiao Xuan with the creeping fig this time around, and hence did not follow him into the town.
Ms. Fang calmed herself down. “Okay, okay, you should head off now. Third and Qi, hurry up! Ms. Xu, don’t worry, he just hurt his legs, nothing else. We are villagers who would inevitably get wounded sometimes.”
Qiao Xuan and Taotao left in a hurry.
Ms. Xu let out a sigh of relief, forcing a smile. “You are right, Mom. I am fine…
Soon, Ms. Yan hurried in. “Elder Aunt, anything I can do to help? Don’t worry, he is a lucky guy, and he should be fine. Also, stones used for the canals would not be too big and he would not be so badly-injured.”
Although that might not be the truth, yet Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu felt assured hearing some reassuring words.
They nodded and threw a grateful look at Ms. Yan.
Ms. Fang asked Ms. Yan to keep Ms. Xu company along with taking care of Shao Junyan and Shao Dalang, whilst she went into the kitchen to boil water. She was waiting for Shao Dalang to return and tried hard to press down the anxiety.
Soon, Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma as well as Ms. Zhang came over. Everyone expressed their concerns.
“Dalang’s leg should be fine, right?”
“He should have been more careful!”
“Is he badly injured? He may not be able to do the spring plow if he is injured!”
“He passed out in pain! Not sure if that is true.”
“Don’t worry. He is alive, right? He just needs some treatment.”
“And even if he is handicapped, you can still survive without him, right?”
Ms. Fang got so annoyed that she wanted to drive them out. “Just stop showing your concern and go make your food. I am too busy to receive you here!”
Did they have any idea what they were talking about? They might as well shut
She was not in a mood to argue with them but she got very angry hearing what they said.
Ms. Yan was speechless. She knew that her brainless mother-in-law would say something stupid. So, she had asked her mother-in-law not to come along with her, and she could just pass on the message.
Sure enough, she talked nonsense.
Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma did not dare to irritate Ms. Fang anymore at the moment..
