Chapter 154: Chapter 155 Exposed_1
Qiao Duo’er stood with a stern face and adjusted Sun Erhu’s position so he could block Zheng Shi’s line of sight.
"Could everyone please take a few steps back? Otherwise, it might interfere with my work," Qiao Duo’er requested the onlookers to move back.
As it was a serious matter, everyone complied.
Still, many people doubted Qiao Duo’er’s ability. How could a woman know how to set bones? Don’t let it result in a loss of life.
"Fourth Boss, it’s better to wait for the doctor for your wife," someone suggested.
"Yes, if something goes wrong, it won’t be easy to explain," another agreed.
Tan Zhenghong smiled slightly, "You all see I’m standing up now; it’s all thanks to my wife’s efforts. Let’s give her a chance to try; nothing will go wrong."
Everyone looked at Tan Zhenghong’s legs, which indeed were not disabled; there was hardly any difference from before.
With Tan Zhenghong serving as a living testimony, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
"Uncle Xiao, don’t worry. My house is right here — I can’t run away. If there’s a problem, you can come to find me. But if you disturb my wife now and something happens, it will be hard to clarify," Tan Zhenghong said with concern, seemingly out of worry for Zheng Shi.
The Xiao Family father and son clenched their teeth; they trusted in Zheng Shi’s acting skills to ensure Qiao Duo’er would not cure her.
Considering this, they opted to let Qiao Duo’er proceed with her actions.
Since the Xiao family father and son remained silent, no one else felt it proper to say anything, and all eyes turned to Qiao Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er was pressing down on the left side of Zheng Shi’s body, then the right, casually asking her if it hurt, and Zheng Shi nodded in response uniformly.
"Look at the Fourth Boss’s house, she seems to know what she’s doing."
"Didn’t Doctor Wu say last time that it was she who fixed Fourth Boss’s leg? Didn’t she say just now that if she doesn’t cure it, she’ll pay with her life?" someone recalled.
"Hopefully so, although Aunt Xiao isn’t likable, she’s still a human life. We really hope nothing goes wrong."
Qiao Duo’er quickly finished assessing and declared, "I’m about to begin."
Sun Erhu’s breathing became cautious, afraid to disrupt his sister-in-law. Setting bones was no trivial matter.
However, when he saw Qiao Duo’er take out a handful of firecrackers, he couldn’t help but shake his shoulders twice, luckily holding back his laughter after receiving a stern glance from Qiao Duo’er.
What if he laughed and gave it away?
Zheng Shi, with her vision blocked by Sun Erhu’s body, was unaware of what Qiao Duo’er was doing beside her, but she had a bad feeling.
After preparing, Qiao Duo’er and Sun Erhu both stepped to the side.
Their positioning was very particular, standing right in front of the small firecrackers.
"Bang bang!"
The sound of the exploding firecrackers terrified Zheng Shi, who immediately bounced up from the ground and ran away quickly.
Zheng Shi’s movements were nimble, showing not the slightest sign of a broken bone.
By now if anyone still couldn’t understand, they really were fools.
"Oh my, I’m dying of laughter, look at the Xiao Family man, his face is green!" someone laughed.
"No kidding, look closely, the faces of all Xiao Family members are green. They really had it coming!" another added gleefully.
"The Fourth Boss’s house is really something, coming up with an idea like this!"
Seeing Zheng Shi’s flustered appearance, many people couldn’t help but laugh unkindly, thinking she got what she deserved for trying to scam people.
Qiao Duo and Tan Zhenghong exchanged glances, their eyes curving into smiles.
"Aunt Xiao, how’s your back doing?" Sun Erhu asked, unabashedly provoking her.
Zheng Shi was nearly grinding her teeth to pieces, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.
The Xiao Family members couldn’t save face and hastily retreated.
