Chapter 95 - 95 Villagers' Attention

95 Villagers’ Attention

Qi Lei paused before continuing, “The scholar’s dislocated legs have been corrected. I’ve also extracted all the broken bone pieces that were stuck inside his legs.”

He showed everyone a small plate that was full of crushed bones. Everyone shuddered. These were small pieces of leg bones.

My god, Dr. Qi extracted them all. How amazing.

The Village and Clan Leaders exclaimed in awe. At that time, Lu Jiao walked in and headed straight towards Qi Lei.

“Thank you, Dr. Qi.”

Lady Ruan lost it on Lu Jiao the moment she showed up, “Where have you been?! Your husband’s in there getting cut open yet you ran away? What kind of wife are you? Once my third son wakes up, I will tell him to leave him!”

Lady Ruan reacted as if she’s found Lu Jiao’s weak spot and refused to let it go. Her words grew harsher as she spoke.

Qi Lei almost spilled the truth upon hearing that lady.

Your son’s legs were cured by your daughter-in-law yet you are asking your son to leave her? What’s wrong with your brain?

Lu Jiao turned to Lady Ruan, “I was too worried about my husband. I was very stressed and scared.”

Lu Jiao’s face made it clear how terrified she truly was.

Her visage was pale and she was having a hard time standing still.

Lady Ruan, on the other hand, was bright-faced and well-fed. She even had the energy to pick a bone with her daughter-in-law. It was obvious to everyone who was the one to truly care about Yunjin.

Outside the crowd, Lu Gui helped Lu Jiao to stand still and asked worriedly, “Sister, are you okay? Should we ask Dr. Qi to check you out?”

Qi Lei quickly chimed in, “She’s in shock. Let her sit down to recover.”

Qi Lei found Lu Jiao a seat and helped her sit down.

He then said, “The surgery was very successful. As long as he rests, he will recover fully. There’s no need to worry.”

Qi Lei didn’t dare to say too much. After all, he wasn’t the one who performed it and he was worried he would say the wrong thing and blow his cover.

Xie Laogen spoke up, “Then, my son can walk like a normal person now?”

“Yes, without accidents, he’ll be like a normal person again.”

Xie Laogen smiled, “Great. That is so great.”

The Village and Clan Leaders all laughed as well. The Xie Villagers rejoiced.

Xie Laogen then inquired, “Where’s my son now?”

Qi Lei answered within a split second, “I had to use mafei powder on him. He’s not awake yet. Do not worry though, mafei powder is harmless and he will wake up soon.”

Lu Jiao timed her question, “Can we take him home then?”

Qi Lei nodded, “You can.”

Lu Jiao asked Lu Gui, “Help get your brother-in-law into the cart.”

He then looked over to Qi Lei, “Please, doctor, help hold my husband’s legs and don’t let them touch anything?”

Qi Lei instantly agreed, “Yes.”

Lu Gui and Qi Lei went inside the room and carried Xie Yunjin out. Xie Yunjin was deep asleep and didn’t react to being carried.

The Xie family followed him out and waited until he was placed inside the cart.

Qi Lei then placed the sheet Lu Jiao brought on Xie Yunjin.

“He just underwent surgery. Don’t get cold.”

Lu Jiao stayed in character, “Thank you, Dr. Qi.”

Qi Lei nodded, “No problem.”

After Lu Jiao and Lu Gui got in, Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan also went into the cart.

Scared that they would touch Xie Yunjin’s legs, Lu Jiao kept a close eye on them.

Xie Yunjin’s legs were tied against wooden blocks to ensure they remained straight. The part that was cut for surgery was not boarded up and was only wrapped up by thin bandages.

Scared they would hurt Xie Yunjin, the Village and Clan Leaders declined the ride.

“Yunjin’s wife, go back first. We’ll walk back.”

The two of them were happy to walk back. Right now, they were too happy to close their lips.

Lady Ruan instantly opened her mouth, “Since you guys aren’t going to sit, then let the Fourth and Xie Lan come in.”

Xie Yunhua and Xie Lan felt energized and started to walk toward the oxcart.

Lu Jiao’s face dropped and she stared at Lady Ruan coldly, “The Leaders aren’t sitting in consideration of Yunjin’s legs. As Yunjin’s family, Yunhua and Xie Lan sure are not trying to be considerate.”

Lady Ruan angrily yelled, “You’re sitting here, aren’t you?!”

Lu Jiao refused to humor this woman and instantly ordered Xie Tieniu, “Let’s go.”

Xie Tieniu started to steer the ox, ignoring the two Xie siblings.

Inside the cart, Lady Ruan wanted to curse but Xie Laogen stopped her, “Enough. Can you stop this?”

The Fourth and Xie Lan were still young. What was wrong with taking a walk? People who were much older were walking today.

Lady Ruan focused on her son. The thought of him walking again stopped her from picking a fight. The way her gaze moved past Lu Jiao, however, was like she was swinging a dagger. This b!tch! There was no way she should be a part of the Xie family.

Lu Jiao ignored Lady Ruan. She was so exhausted right now she didn’t want to do anything but rest.

The oxcart entered the Xie family village. The villagers crowded over instantly and started to ask about how the surgery went.

The cold-faced Lady Ruan suddenly jumped up with her head raised high. Her third son’s legs were now healed! These people will have to butter her up again!

The more Lady Ruan thought about it, the happier she became. She boasted joyfully, “My third son’s surgery was a success! His legs will be fine! He will be able to go into the city and write his exams soon!”

Sadly, nobody tried to get on Lady Ruan’s good side this time. On the contrary, most people focused on Lu Jiao.

Aunt Guihua was the most eager. She loudly directed her question at Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, Yunjin’s legs are now fine?”

“Did the surgery go okay?”

“How come he’s not awake? He’s sleeping that deeply?”

Lu Jiao smiled at the crowd, “Thank you, everyone. Yunjin’s surgery was a success. The reason why he’s asleep is that the doctor used mafei powder on him to numb him for surgery. He’ll be awake soon.”

The villagers were ecstatic, “Since the surgery is a success, then he will be able to walk soon. This is great news.”

Aunt Guihua smiled at Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, your time has finally come. You’re destined for great happiness.”

Inside the oxcart, Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan’s faces grew ugly. This was their third son! Why was everyone conversing with Lu Jiao? Just what was she to them?!

Lady Ruan angrily glared at the villagers. In the end, her gaze landed on Aunt Guihua and she started to curse.

“Ding Guihua, you sure talk a lot. What’s my family’s business got to do with you?”

Aunt Guihua was quick to yell back, “You’re unhappy because we are not giving you attention today. Look at that harsh face of yours! All day from morning to night, you carry that long face with you and act like someone owes you money. Today is a day worth celebrating. As Yunjin’s mother, instead of being happy, you stick out that unpleasant face of yours like a bitter melon.

Before, Yunjin was injured so you kicked him out of your home. Now that your son’s legs are healed, you are trying to get close to him again and act all mighty. You think none of us know exactly what you’re thinking? Go to hell!”
