“What’s going on?”
The crowd made way.
An old man with dark red skin and a burly physique appeared in the crowd.
Miao Dashan is three or four years older than his cousin Miao Fengmei, but the old man, who is nearly sixty years old, is still energetic.
Although his skin is loose, the strong muscles under the thin skin can still be seen. His body is as strong as the young people in the village. At this age, he can still earn the highest work points like a young man.
This is one of the reasons why the villagers admire this production captain very much.
Miao Dashan is burly and has a loud voice. He spoke with such anger that it sounded like the roar of thunder, almost deafening the ears of several people standing nearby.
“Captain, you are finally here. If you don’t come, I will be bullied to death by my daughter-in-law.”
Miao Fengmei cried and screamed, wishing she could tear the flesh off Xu Chunxiu’s body with her eyes.
“Everyone can testify for me. This little wh*re actually dared to threaten me, saying that she would make our whole family restless and kill my Xiuzhu. She is committing a crime. How can she be such a wife or daughter-in-law? Call the police immediately and have her arrested. We can’t have a daughter-in-law like her anymore.”
Thinking back to the look in Xu Chunxiu’s eyes just now, Miao Fengmei was still a little scared. Her intuition told her that what Xu Chunxiu said just now was not just angry words, but she really thought so.
With such an unstable factor around her, Miao Fengmei was really worried that she would be poisoned to death by this daughter-in-law one day.
“That’s right, Changzheng’s wife said so. No matter what, you can’t say such things to your mother-in-law. We all heard it.”
“You can’t blame Changzheng’s wife. She was just anxious and said the wrong thing at the moment.”
A group of women around were chattering, which made Miao Dashan’s head hurt. What he was most impatient about was dealing with the women in the village.
“That’s right, I said those words, Captain, come with me and take a look.”
Xu Chunxiu had long known what kind of character her mother-in-law was. She had never had any hope for her from the beginning. When she turned black and white, she would naturally not be disappointed.
She just grabbed the captain’s sleeve and pulled him into the health station. If she wanted to go to the big hospital in the county to see a doctor, she couldn’t do it without a letter of introduction from the captain.
“How come the injury is so serious? The child’s body is so hot. Aren’t you afraid that she will be confused by the burn?”
Before coming, Miao Dashan heard from his wife that the daughter of the third son of the Xie family accidentally fell down the hillside yesterday and hit her head, but it was said that the hit was not serious, just a few scratches.
Miao Dashan did not doubt it, so he was a little unhappy when he heard that Xu Chunxiu and her mother-in-law were making a fuss outside the health station because of this matter.
In his opinion, a little scratch is not a serious matter. Which child in the village has not been beaten since childhood?
But when he saw the nearly ten-centimeter scratch on Xie Wu’s head and the skin that was already broken and pus-oozing, he realized how false the Xie family’s statement that it was just a scratch was.
Not to mention that Xie Wu is only a thirteen-year-old girl. Even a strong man would not be able to withstand such a wound.
No one knew how much blood Xie Wu lost yesterday. Judging from Miao Fengmei’s attitude, she obviously did not take good care of Xie Wu’s wound.
From last night until now, the mother and daughter had not even mentioned whether they had eaten anything.
If the child is not sent to the county hospital quickly, he is afraid Xie Wu’s life will end here today.
The villagers who didn’t see the wound on Xie Wu’s head clearly also came closer to take a few glances. With just a few glances, they understood why Xu Chunxiu was so crazy.
She is not young anymore and has only one daughter, Xie Wu. Given the fact that Xie Changzheng and she spend so little time together as a couple, it is uncertain whether they can have another child. She must regard this daughter as the apple of her eye and the flesh of her heart.
Now that Xie Wu has been seriously injured, Miao Fengmei still stops Xu Chunxiu from taking her daughter out for medical treatment. Anyone else would lose their mind and make a big fuss.
Originally, there were many people present who were speaking up for Miao Fengmei, thinking that Xu Chunxiu was making too much of a fuss.
But now, they all shut up, especially when they saw Xie Wu, whose face was pale, sweat was pouring out of her body, and she was completely delirious with fever.
They couldn’t help but look at Miao Fengmei with contempt.
Although a granddaughter is not as important as a grandson, what does a little money mean when it comes to life?
What’s more, Xie Changzheng, Xie Wu’s biological father, receives a considerable allowance, and all the money is in Miao Fengmei’s hands.
The eldest grandson and the youngest daughter of the Xie family are able to study in the county town thanks to this money. Now only a part of it is taken out to save the little granddaughter’s life. Why is that not enough?
Miao Fengmei didn’t notice the changes in the expressions of the people around her. She still stiffened her neck and forced herself to refute.
“It’s just a little scratch. Just apply some ash and take care of it. If it’s hot, just pour some well water. There’s no such a precious young lady in our Xie family.”
Miao Fengmei thought that once Xie Wu went to the hospital, Xu Chunxiu would have to stay in the hospital to take care of her.
In this way, who would do the laundry, cooking, and cleaning at home?
Who would make up for Xu Chunxiu’s work points?
This way, her loss would be huge.

I will really appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️

Yep. The mother and daughter pair has to earn their living expenses through labor points, giving those earning to MFM (because she’s the matriarch), and be servants for the whole family to get barely feed. You can say that the third son of Xie wasn’t their husband/father. He’s just a sperm donor.
