Chapter 347: Chapter 350 Unreliable Man_1
Wang Clan cursed, "Debt-collecting wretch, useless thing!"
Whom did she owe, anyway?
After working in the fields all day, she had just arrived home when she saw Tan Zhengyuan punching Widow Xu’s stomach, not to mention the large pool of fresh blood on the bed, which had nearly scared her to death.
She now understood that the child was a result of Widow Xu’s secret affair with another man, so it was her own fault.
But if Tan Zhengyuan beat someone so severely that they bled profusely and died, he couldn’t get away with it either!
She worried endlessly, and yet Tan Zhengyuan actually ran out to beat someone!
Although Lao Guang was in his forties, he was strong and healthy; fighting him was surely asking for trouble.
Forget it, it wasn’t her business to care about so much!
Curse as she might, a human life was of the utmost importance; she dared not delay and immediately went to the kitchen to decoct medicine.
Tan Zhenghong was sent back by Hu’s Clan and happened to run into Sun Erhu who had just come in.
Sun Erhu asked curiously, "Brother Hong, what’s going on at Brother Tan’s house? Why is it so noisy"
He had come back with Tan Zhenghong, he had just gone to change his shoes and seemed to have missed a lot.
"The child is gone, Brother hit Widow Xu so hard she bled profusely, and now everything’s a mess there," Tan Zhenghong said helplessly, having no idea how to help.
Sun Erhu blinked, "Brother Tan did it?"
Tan Zhenghong stammered out an explanation, then Sun Erhu suddenly realized.
"A few days ago, I saw Lao Guang coming out of the cornfield, could it be that Widow Xu hooked up with him? But Brother Tan hit her too hard, even if the child wasn’t his, it’s not worth taking her life."
And wasn’t his affair with Widow Xu also questionable?
Why didn’t he beat himself to death first?
"The adults brought this upon themselves, it’s only the child I feel sorry for."
"I think it’s actually quieter this way. If not, with such parents, how could the child face anyone in the future? Wouldn’t that be even more pitiful?" Sun Erhu voiced his true feelings.
For the child, this might have been a release rather than a lifetime of torment.
Everyone was lacking in appetite at dinner, during which Hu’s Clan came to ask for a bowl of chicken soup.
"Sister Lan, how’s it going over there?" Sun Erhu hinted with a nod of his lips.
"Uncle Wu administered an acupuncture treatment, and she just took her medicine. The bleeding has stopped. Uncle Wu told me to quickly get some food for her to eat, and if she makes it through the night, she should be fine," Hu’s Clan said before hurriedly leaving, knowing Widow Xu was shameless and promiscuous, despised wherever she went.
But it was a human life; she couldn’t just watch her die.
Qiao Duo’er no longer felt like eating and instead took some food to Da Ya and Er Ya.
Hu’s Clan had been so busy she surely hadn’t had the chance to tend to her daughters.
She just hoped that the person Hu’s Clan had cared for heart and soul wasn’t a thankless wretch.
The commotion in the eastern wing lasted well into the night; after Widow Xu’s complexion improved slightly, Wang Clan dared to go to bed.
She thought about having Tan Zhengyuan take care of Widow Xu during the night, but suddenly realized he hadn’t returned yet.
Wang Clan said angrily, "I’ve done what I had to do, and I’ve done right by you. The rest is up to fate, who told you to choose such an unreliable man?"
Before leaving, she gave Hu’s Clan a rare glance.
"You should stop sitting around too. Go back to sleep; my husband is taking care of her," she said.
Hu’s Clan nodded; it was indeed inappropriate to stay in Tan Zhengyuan’s house so late.
But going back, she worried that no one would take care of Widow Xu. Forget it, what she had done had already lived up to her conscience.
