FSC [QT] Chapter 180.5

“Uncle Wang! Uncle Wang!”

Xu Chunxiu carried her daughter from home to the health station from her memory.

After rushing into the health station and putting her daughter on the small camp bed in the room, her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground.

“What happened?”

The barefoot doctor in the village was surnamed Wang. Before the founding of China, he worked as an apprentice in a pharmacy for several years. With the little skills he learned, he could prescribe some herbal medicine for minor illnesses and pains.

As a result, he was elected by everyone to be the doctor of the health station of the Eighth Production Brigade.

He was watering vegetables in the backyard when he was led into the house by Xu Chunxiu crying.

At this time, many people saw Xu Chunxiu rushing to the health station with Xie Wu in her arms. Because it was the slack season and there were no entertainment activities in the village, they all followed and surrounded him.

“Hiss— this injury is not light!”

Old Man Wang wiped the ash on Xie Wu’s forehead with a clean white gauze and saw a long scar extending from the left side of the forehead to the back of the head.

The torn skin was full of small stones and dead leaves, and with the ash sprinkled later, pus and blood had even flowed out of many parts. Obviously, due to improper treatment, the wound had begun to inflame.

Xu Chunxiu’s brain was buzzing. She didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

“Uncle Wang, please save my daughter, please save Xiao Wu, she is only thirteen years old, she can’t get into trouble.”

Xu Chunxiu wished she could beat herself to death.

Why did she have to watch her daughter get so badly injured in her previous life because of her mother-in-law’s scolding and just applied some wood ash on the wound?

In the end, her daughter died in pain because the wound became inflamed.

“How did this happen? Why didn’t you send the child here before with such a big wound?”

Old Man Wang glared at Xu Chunxiu angrily.

“Hurry up and ask the captain to issue a certificate. I can’t treat this injury. She may be saved if she is sent to the county hospital. Otherwise, you can only wait for your daughter’s body to be collected.”

What Old Man Wang said was unpleasant to hear, but it was true.

Now the wound on Xie Wu’s head had begun to fester. Without anti-inflammatory drugs, how could he save her with his mediocre skills?

“What are you talking about? It’s just a bump, a little skin broken. You have to have a lot of money at home to send the child to a big hospital in the county. Old Man Wang, you are nothing. Do you think my family is having an easy life and giving my daughter-in-law such a crooked idea?”

Miao Fengmei hurried over and happened to hear what Old Man Wang said.

When she heard Old Man Wang suggest that her daughter-in-law take the money-losing girl to the county hospital, Miao Fengmei’s heart began to ache.

“That’s right. It’s just a minor bump. There’s no need to go to the hospital, right? Which of those naughty monkeys in our village doesn’t have a scar on his body?”

The villagers who were joining in the fun were far away and didn’t see the scar on Xie Wu’s head clearly. They just listened to Miao Fengmei’s complaints and felt that what she said was right.

Life in the countryside is not easy now. Except for those families with children serving in the army or working as workers, most families can barely fill their stomachs. How much does it cost to go to a big hospital?

“Xu Chunxiu, hurry up and take your daughter home with me, otherwise, I will let the third son divorce you.”

Miao Fengmei grabbed Xu Chunxiu’s hand and looked at her fiercely.

“That’s my daughter!”

Xu Chunxiu shook Miao Fengmei away.

“I don’t want to live like this for a long time. If the third son of the Xie family stood in front of me now, I could go to get a divorce certificate with him immediately. You’d better bless my daughter to live, otherwise, I will not let anyone in your Xie family go. Even if I risk my life, I will kill Xie Xiuzhu.”

Xu Chunxiu’s eyes were full of red bloodshot, and her thin and yellow face was full of hatred and anger, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Miao Fengmei was so scared that she trembled and couldn’t react for a while.

The people watching were shocked by her completely different behavior.

Is this still the gentle and good-tempered Xu Chunxiu?

What kind of loss must the Xie family have done to force this woman to be like this?

Just as everyone was looking at each other, Miao Dashan, the captain of the Eighth Production Brigade, came over.

Speaking of which, Miao Dashan and Miao Fengmei are somewhat related. Their fathers are cousins, and Miao Fengmei is Miao Dashan’s cousin within the fifth degree of the hierarchy.

Seeing Miao Dashan appear, Miao Fengmei felt confident.

She wanted to see if Xu Chunxiu could get the letter of introduction from the captain without her permission.
