FSC [QT] Chapter 185.1

“It hurts—”

Ah Wu woke up in a daze and felt a tearing pain from her forehead to the back of her head. Before she was fully awake, tears squeezed out of her eyes.

Anesthetics are still a scarce commodity these days. There is not enough supply for soldiers on the battlefield, so naturally, there are even fewer allocated to hospitals at all levels.

When performing surgery on Ah Wu, the doctor used some anesthetics, but the effects of these anesthetics had worn off before Ah Wu woke up.

Firstly, there was a shortage of drugs, and secondly, the doctor was worried that excessive anesthetics would affect the physical development of Xie Wu, so naturally no such drugs were replenished for her.

As a result, Ah Wu was trembling all over because of the pain of the wound on her head as soon as she woke up.

Except for Xie Xiuzhu, all the girls in the Xie family are worthless.

The three granddaughters of the Xie family, Xie Cao and Xie Hua from the second family and Xie Wu from the third family, had been learning to do housework since they were old enough to understand. At the age of eleven or twelve, the amount of labor they did was no less than that of any adult woman.

In the Xie family, any inappropriate behavior of the three granddaughters would be met with beatings and scolding.

Ever since Liu Landi gave birth to a son and felt confident enough to stand on her own, the lives of the sisters Xie Cao and Xie Hua had become a little better.

But Xie Wu, the only girl in the third family, who was regarded as a jinx by Miao Fengmei, was not so lucky.

As the lives of the sisters Xie Cao and Xie Hua became more comfortable, more work was placed on Xie Wu and her mother.

Some time ago, Xie Wu saw her little aunt, Xie Xiuzhu, wearing a beautiful skirt and carrying the army green school bag that her father had specially sent to her. She cried and asked her mother why the schoolbag that should have belonged to her was on her aunt and why she couldn’t go to school like her aunt.

The crying words happened to be heard by the sharp-eared Miao Fengmei, and Xie Wu was immediately beaten up.

Fortunately, although Xu Chunxiu was cowardly and dared not resist the authority of her mother-in-law, she still had a deep love for her daughter and blocked most of the punches and kicks for Xie Wu.

But even so, the terrifying appearance of her grandmother that day was deeply engraved in Xie Wu’s heart.

Since then, no matter how wronged she was, she dared not cry out loud. She only dared to shed tears silently when hiding in the quilt alone, for fear that her grandmother would hear her and hit her and her mother again.

This habit has continued to this day.

Although Ah Wu was in great pain, she dared not cry too loudly. She just clenched her fists and curled up into a shrimp, her teeth chattering and her face turning red.

Except for occasionally calling for her mother softly and saying that it hurt when she couldn’t hold it back anymore, most of the sound was suppressed sobbing.

Xie Changzheng and Xu Chunxiu hurriedly brought the doctor in and saw this scene.

Pa!

Xie Changzheng slapped himself hard, but he still felt unsatisfied, so he hammered the door frame heavily, wishing he could beat himself to death.

What sin had he committed that forced his daughter to not even dare to cry?

In his previous life, when Xie Changzheng returned home, he saw his crazy wife. At that time, he learned about the indifference and abuse of his wife and daughter through investigation, but he learned more about it through texts and did not have a clear understanding.

He hated the greed of those people in the Xie family, their inconsistency in words and deeds, and hated himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.

But to be honest, he had been fighting outside for many years, so he was also a stranger to his daughter Xie Wu. The so-called feelings were only derived from the bonds of blood.

Xie Changzheng did not have a complete image of his daughter in his heart.

In his memory, there were only three most influential scenes.

The first one was when he came back from the battlefield in India. At that time, his daughter was already eight months old. Because of the war, he missed his daughter’s birth.
