Chapter 198 Challenge (3)
It turns out that Zeng Daniu and his sister knew how to hunt, and Li Fang's life became much easier after they arrived.
A few days ago, the three of them worked together to catch a wild boar in the back mountain and agreed to sell it at the county market.
There are wealthy people there who love to eat these wild game.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Daniu left a letter yesterday saying that he was leaving and that he didn't want the pig anymore, as compensation.
Immediately afterwards, Li Fang disappeared.
Because she had lost her daughter, Madam Mo didn't care about the pig.
Yesterday, the villagers found the person, so today Mo slaughtered the pig and distributed it to the villagers from house to house.
Gu Shijiu's eyes widened in anger; those were all her assets.
Just as she was about to rush out in a fit of rage, Madam Mo swayed as she walked to the door of the barefoot doctor's house.
"Doctor, are you home right now?"
The barefoot doctor quickly responded, "Is this Sister Mo? I just set Fang's bones, come in and take a look."
Gu Shijiu rolled up his sleeves, ready to settle accounts with the Mo family.
Unexpectedly, Madam Mo completely ignored her and only spoke to the barefoot doctor: "Doctor, I've come to bring you pork."
My daughter Fangfang is young and doesn't understand things easily. I was afraid she wouldn't want to share with everyone, so I brought the meat to you.
The barefoot doctor glanced at Gu Shijiu; those words were so unpleasant that he felt embarrassed to respond.
Speaking of pork, these days when we can't even get enough to eat, who doesn't like it?
But with the victim standing right in front of him, so badly injured and having lost her husband, the barefoot doctor simply couldn't appear overjoyed.
"Sister Mo, Fang'er is seriously injured. Take this back for her to eat and help her recover."
Ms. Mo felt somewhat uncomfortable; she didn't like others rejecting her kindness.
"Fangfang is injured and shouldn't eat greasy food. Just cook some porridge when you get back and eat something light."
Everyone else has some, so how could you be left out? You can keep the meat; I'll be going now.
After finishing her speech, Ms. Mo walked out.
Gu Shijiu turned to the barefoot doctor and asked, "What does she mean? Did she cut up all my meat?"
The barefoot doctor nodded hesitantly: "It seems so. Why don't you eat mine?"
Gu Shijiu finally figured things out: this woman actually treated the whole village to meat, and the meat was even hers!
This was outrageous! Thinking of this, Gu Shijiu grabbed the table from the barefoot doctor's house and threw it in the direction Mo Shi had left.
The barefoot doctor watched her actions in shock, quite frightened.
Is this the strength a patient with multiple fractures should have?
Evil, so evil!
The barefoot doctor huddled to one side, trying his best to minimize his presence, not daring to utter a single word.
As the only doctor in the village, the barefoot doctor's family was not poor; the two large gates in the courtyard were very heavy.
The table that Gu Shijiu threw hit the front door.
The door struggled for a moment, but couldn't withstand the force and collapsed, swaying precariously.
As luck would have it, just as Mrs. Mo stepped out of the doorway, she was crushed by the door.
She was struck by this calamity and only managed to scream once before fainting.
The barefoot doctor, hiding in the room, could see this scene clearly.
Fang is usually such a filial child, how come she's so angry today that she's even so cruel to her own mother?
Especially after coming up from the bottom of the cliff, he changed completely.
The barefoot doctor became increasingly frightened, and after exchanging a glance with Gu Shijiu, he was so frightened that he fainted.
The others in the courtyard came out at the sound and found Gu Shijiu, who was seriously injured, standing on the ground, while the doctor who was treating her was lying on the bed.
"What's going on?" Ji, the barefoot doctor's wife, looked at the dust swirling in the courtyard with her two daughters, somewhat bewildered.
Gu Shijiu explained slowly, "The doctor worked hard setting my bones, so he must have fallen asleep from exhaustion."
The door suddenly collapsed; I don't know what happened.
Mr. Ji felt something was amiss: how did this table end up in the yard instead of the room?
However, she didn't have time to ask questions at the moment and ran over to check.
Just now, she vaguely saw what appeared to be a person pressing down under the door.
Gu Shijiu then remembered something she had forgotten: "Oh right, my mom came over to deliver meat, and somehow it got crushed under the door."
What?! This is a matter of life and death!
Mrs. Ji hurriedly tried to lift the door, but it was too heavy for her to lift.
Seeing Gu Shijiu covered in bandages, Madam Ji couldn't ask her for help, so she had to go next door to call for help.
Fortunately, there were several strong men in the neighboring house. Together, they moved the door open, revealing Ms. Mo inside.
The way everyone looked at Gu Shijiu was a little strange.
This family is so unlucky.
The daughter had just fallen off a cliff, and then the mother was hit by a door. Perhaps she had broken some taboo.
The villagers were unaware that Gu Shijiu had been pushed down by Zeng Daniu.
Ji was very nervous as she arranged for people to carry the injured Mo into the house.
"I'm so sorry, Fangwazi. Look at this door, it was usually quite sturdy, I don't know how it collapsed."
If Sister Mo is alright, that's fine. But if anything happens, I—"
Gu Shijiu waved his hand casually: "It's alright, she'll be fine after a few days of porridge."
"Oh, Fang girl, don't listen to these things. People still need to replenish their nutrition when they are injured."
Ms. Ji's husband was a doctor, and she also knew some medical principles.
"It's okay, that's what my mom just said to me."
Gu Shijiu has already prepared the menu for the Mo family for the next few days.
When Mo woke up in a daze, she heard Gu Shijiu's words and was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood: "You unfilial daughter!"
Gu Shijiu guessed that there was probably internal bleeding: "You should talk less, the more you talk, the more blood you'll spit out."
Those present showed expressions of disapproval.
The villagers also knew about the Mo mother and daughter's situation.
I often feel sorry for Li Fang in private, I've never seen a mother treat her child so badly.
If it weren't for the resemblance between the mother and daughter, they would have doubted whether Li Fang was their biological daughter.
However, out of filial piety, no one said anything.
But now that Gu Shijiu is resisting, the villagers feel that she has gone too far.
Madam Mo took out a clean handkerchief from her bosom, covered her eyes, and began to cry.
"Why is my life so bitter? Old Li, you left us too soon. I didn't raise my daughter well. I'm so sorry."
At this moment, Madam Mo was unaware that the door had been smashed by her newly arrived daughter.
Gu Shijiu watched her performance expressionlessly, finding it uninteresting.
In terms of looks, she couldn't compare to the pampered aristocratic girls she had seen before;
Judging from her voice, she is not as good as those heroines with voices as sweet as nightingales, so Gu Shijiu guessed that Mo Shi was definitely not the heroine.
In terms of the emotional impact of a tearful lament, Mo's is nowhere near as good; in fact, it's a bit too forceful.
Gu Shijiu mentally evaluated the man's crying scene before leaving amidst the condemning gazes of the crowd.
Anyway, she won't learn it even if she watches it a hundred times, so there's no point in keeping her here.
Following the directions of several villagers, Gu Shijiu shuffled back to Mo Shi and Li Fang's home.
Behind them, villagers whispered: "Fang girl is probably really stupid; she doesn't even recognize her own home."
"That's not all. The news I just heard from the doctor's family is that she even dares to beat her own mother."
