Chapter 153: Chapter 154: I’ll Help You Set the Bone!_1
Xiao Dazhi was just about to help Zheng Shi when he heard Qiao Duo’er say, "Don’t move her carelessly, or she might end up paralyzed, and she might even die."
"Don’t listen to her nonsense. Hurry up and carry me back with Shan’er. I’m in so much pain!" Zheng Shi wiped her sweat and her wails grew louder.
But inwardly, she was cursing Qiao Duo’er, thinking to herself, You’re the one who’s going to die!
Qiao Duo’er calmly said, "I’m not scaring you. If you’re not afraid, go ahead and carry her away."
"My leg was set by my wife. We should listen to her." Tan Zhenghong also advised, for he had broken a bone before and could see right through Zheng Shi’s act.
You had your fun just now, but now that things are looking bad, you want to leave? It’s not that easy.
You should know, my wife is not someone who is easy to talk to.
"Yeah, we should let the doctor take a look first. Don’t cause a loss of life."
"It looks like Aunt Xiao is in terrible pain. We definitely shouldn’t move her carelessly. I heard someone in my mother’s family fell, and because they moved her a little, she died."
"What do you know? Look at her acting. She’s probably faking it," someone said quietly.
"The way her head is covered in sweat, it looks like she got heat stroke."
Amidst the cacophony of voices, Xiao Dazhi couldn’t make up his mind for a moment.
Right now, neither moving her nor leaving her be seemed right. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Don’t worry, everyone. I know what to do. Wait here while I go get some things," Qiao Duo’er said calmly.
Qiao Duo’er gave a look to Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu and immediately pulled the round Xiao Fu towards the Main Room.
Xiao Fu was initially uncooperative, but when Qiao Duo’er mentioned there was meat to eat, he obediently followed.
"Xiao Fu, I’ll trade you a pound of meat for ten small firecrackers."
When strung into a long chain, these small firecrackers could become firecrackers sold to children.
Xiao Fu’s eyes rolled, "Give me two pounds of meat."
"One and a half pounds," Qiao Duo’er cursed silently at his greediness, but she was in urgent need, so she couldn’t haggle over it.
Xiao Fu nodded, "Deal!"
Xiao Fu quickly brought over the firecrackers, and Qiao Duo’er bundled them up, hiding them inside her sleeve, then she had Xiao Fu light a stick of incense for her.
By the time Qiao Duo’er came out, a fight was about to break out.
"If my mother’s illness worsens because of the delay, can you afford to compensate? You heartless bunch, are you deliberately trying to kill my mother?" Xiao Lingchuan shouted.
Tan Zhenghong remained calm and said, "We’ve sent for Uncle Wu, and we will cover the medical expenses."
"My Xiao Family isn’t short of that paltry sum. If something happens to my mother, I’ll kill you!"
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but speak up, "The reason you can’t stand up is that the bone in your back is broken. I need to set it back in place. Don’t move; it’ll be fine in a moment."
"How could you possibly set bones? If you kill me, who am I going to find?"
Zheng Shi glared at Qiao Duo’er; her bone wasn’t broken at all, so what bone was Qiao Duo’er trying to set?
"Don’t worry, if you don’t recover, I’ll give you my life."
After saying that, Qiao Duo’er stuffed a cleaning cloth into Zheng Shi’s mouth.
Although it was a rag, Hu’s Clan had washed it very clean. Using it to gag Zheng Shi, she still felt it was a waste.
Qiao Duo’er said with a smile, "Bite the cloth; it’s going to hurt a bit."
Her smile was harmless, but it made Zheng Shi feel a chill down her spine.
Qiao Duo’er squatted down with her back to the crowd and then said to Sun Erhu, "You come and hold her hand down for me; don’t let her move around."
Seeing Qiao Duo’er take this very seriously, Sun Erhu didn’t doubt her at all and immediately complied.
