Chapter 1008: Broken ribs
” Yes, Yes…she was the one who asked us to come and help her. She said that once Yu Dong coughs money, we will be able to split it among ourselves. But now I don’t want money can you not take me away ?”The brothers-in-law of Peng Jing also nodded and then one of them stated,” We were only following what Sister Peng asked us to do. We did not make trouble for Yu Dong and her family for no reason, its because Sister Peng wanted to make a scene.”
Even Peng Jing’s in-laws wanted to shirk responsibility, how can they dare to shoulder such a big thing? They were old and had many children and grandchildren, some of their children were even about to get married. Earlier they thought that if they were to get a few taels, they would be able to throw a big fat wedding but now that they were facing being taken to the Yamen they did not wish to even stay behind!
If their future in-laws found out that they were taken to Yamen they might break the marriage!
All of them now wanted to go back and never return to Big River Village! But it was already too late!
” Do you think that you can just go in and out of the village as you wish?” Aunt Wang helped Old Madam Yu up and then snapped at the people from the Big Lantern Village. ” You were the one who came rushing into our village and tried to harm others, now don’t act like you did not know what you did. If you wanted you could have refused but you came and caused trouble it’s because you did not fear any consequences! Not only do you look down on our village but you also look down on the law and the Yamen!”
Peng Jing and her family were more than imposing in front of Xiao Hua and the mers of the Yu family but now that they were in front of the Yamen officers they did not dare to make even the smallest bit of sound.
When the Yamen officers left, Yu Dong asked Doctor Gu to take a look at the injuries of Xiao Hua and the rest of the family. Fang Chi’s injuries were superficial and though Xiao Hua’s injury looked serious, his scar was not that deep which saved him from a lot of hassle.
However, Grandma Yu’s situation was not that good. As she was the only woman in the house at the moment, she could only step in place of Yu Dong in her absence but Grandma Yu was too old and even though she was no longer as weak as before, she was not a match for someone like Peng Jing who was young and healthy.
Thus Doctor Gu had to examine her thoroughly and when she told Yu Dong and the rest about her condition they all broke out in cold sweat.
” Two of her ribs are broken but fortunately for her, the ribs did not pierce her lungs which is a good thing for now. There is no bleeding. However, she will need to go through acupuncture treatment for the next month and pay very close attention to her movements. It would be better if she doesn’t move and let the ribs mend cleanly.”
She then took out a bone-repairing herbs powder and handed it to Yu Dong before saying, ” Make meals rich in calcium and add this medicine to it. Though it will be slightly bitter, it will help Old Madam Yu recover as soon as possible.”
” Thank you for your help, Doctor Gu. We will take care of Grandma,” Yu Dong took the medicine and politely sent Doctor Gu away but anyone could see that she was suppressing her anger at the moment.
