Chapter 106: Where Has Zhang Xiaohui Gone? (1)
She was an ignorant old woman. She had behaved herself when Gu Conghua first arrived, but the moment her darling son yelled, her true colors were revealed!
Gu Conghua did not say anything. He used to be a landlord. The less he said, the better.
Wang Mingtao was a reasonable man. He kept watch and allowed Gu Conghua to treat Zhang Jianguo.
Gu Qingyao stood obediently at the side. Although she looked like a good little girl, she handed her grandfather things with a grown-up air. Of course, she also added something to the medicine when no one was watching.
Old Madam Zhang had scolded her grandfather. She might as well let Zhang Jianguo suffer a little more. See how I deal with them!
Gu Conghua’s medical skills were pretty good. Besides his broken leg, Zhang Jianguo’s other injuries were all superficial and would not cause much problem. With several people holding him down, these were swiftly dealt with.
Of course, Zhang Jianguo continued to shriek and howl wildly all the while!
The pain!
The agonizing pain!
Everyone could understand him screaming from the pain of a broken leg. But they could not stand it when he screamed so loudly and continually!
Everyone shook their heads!
“His screaming is just too absurd!”
“He’s still screaming. This... a big man like him...”
...
Zhang Jianguo did not care. He only knew that his wounds were terribly, excruciatingly painful!
“Ah Ah Ah... Mother... I’m about to die of pain. It hurts...”
Old Madam Zhang’s heart ached to hear these heartrending words. But she was infuriated when she heard the others discussing her son!
“What nonsense are you spouting? It’s my son who’s injured, not you. Of course, you don’t think it’s painful. His leg is broken! Broken! How can it not hurt?
“My Jianguo is in such terrible pain, but you’re still passing sarcastic remarks. Aren’t you heartless? Be careful. Someday, someone might break your leg too. Then I’ll see whether you scream!”
Everyone’s expression turned ugly when faced with the irascible Old Madam Zhang.
How could they afford to be ill?
An ordinary small illness might already be fatal, but this old woman was cursing them to fall and break a leg. It was tantamount to cursing them with bad luck. Who wanted to hear words like these?
When he saw that a quarrel was about to erupt, Wang Mingtao immediately said, “Shut up. What are you saying? We’re all part of the brigade and should help each other. We need to unite in friendship and goodwill. How can you wish ill on others?
“Take good care of your son. There’s nothing more we can do here. Everyone, you can leave!”
Everyone listened to Wang Mingtao. Since he had said so, everyone just pursed their lips and prepared to leave.
Gu Conghua also had no wish to linger. He hurriedly packed his things and prepared to leave.
Gu Qingyao was helping Gu Conghua to pack his things. Then she glanced at Old Madam Zhang and suddenly said, “Grandmother, Eldest Uncle has been badly injured. He must be carefully nursed or he might suffer some lingering effects. Eldest Uncle is so young, he must not acquire any chronic illnesses!
“It’s not easy to take care of an adult and you might not be able to manage. Do you want my mother to come over and lend a hand? If you need her, I’ll tell my mother when she gets home.
“She went to town today and doesn’t know that Eldest Uncle has been injured. Otherwise, she would surely have been the first to rush over and check on Eldest Uncle. Please don’t be angry with her!”
Old Madam Zhang was taken aback. Only then did she remember Zhang Xiaohui!
