Chapter 21: Almost Killed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"What's going on?!" Mo Xiaolei felt that something was wrong. His fingers kept scratching the itchy places on his body, but the more he scratched, the itchier they became.
"Brother Lei, why is it suddenly so itchy?" The other two people also scratched themselves. Even though their skin was scratched until they were bleeding, it did not stop them. Did they touch something unclean?
"Hurry up and leave." Mo Xiaolei didn't dare to stay any longer. He had to go back and see the doctor quickly. His body was really itchy and blood was already flowing down his body.
After confirming that there was no one outside the door, Xu Qing smiled lightly. She had long known that someone would be restless, so she got some medicine from Bai Xian in advance and drugged the surroundings of the house. Of course, Xu Qing asked to add the antidote to the meal in advance to prevent Auntie Wu from being infected.
The next day, Xu Qing ate and slept well as usual. She thought that at most, someone would be impatient again tomorrow.
As expected, Mo Qiu ran over angrily on the third day. The moment she saw him, she bombarded him like a cannonball. "Xu Qing, you slut, what did you poison my brother with? Hurry up and take out the antidote!"
Xu Qing raised her eyebrows and replied unhurriedly, "I'm still recuperating and I don't go out. The straw hut is remote and I haven't seen anyone come. You came to scold me for no reason. I don't know what you're saying!"
Mo Qiu choked. How could she say that she had asked her younger brother to steal Xu Qing's things at night, but he was drugged instead? There was no way to say this openly, and there was no way to ask the village chief to uphold justice. If others found out, how could she redeem herself in the village in the future? Furthermore, if the Xu family's parents found out, she would definitely be skinned.
Mo Qiu's eyes flashed. In the end, she decided to throw a tantrum, but she didn't dare to scold her anymore. "I don't care. If you don't take out the antidote today, I'll disturb you and you won't be able to rest in peace!" She had no choice. The poison in her brother's body was something that even the doctor in town couldn't do anything about, so she could only ask Xu Qing for the antidote.
Because of this, her parents had beaten her up and told her to get the antidote. Otherwise, they would not acknowledge her as their daughter. How could that be? If they did not acknowledge her as their daughter, she would be tortured to death by Chen Qiulian. After all, a woman without a family to protect her had the lowest status. Wasn't Qu Feng the best example?!
"You want to make me unable to rest in peace? Alright, I won't hide anything. I was the one who poisoned them. As for why they were poisoned, you and I know very well. I've waited for you guys for two days. I believe you've seen the outcome of that poison. Aren't you afraid that I'll accidentally poison you and make you mute?" Xu Qing threatened.
Mo Qiu's eyes widened. When had Xu Qing become so powerful?! And so terrifying! She actually wanted to poison her into becoming mute? "What do you want?" This time, she didn't dare to spout nonsense anymore.
The corners of Xu Qing's mouth curled up slightly. "I heard that many people are targeting my family. If you can get the villagers to give up on this idea, I'll give you the antidote. How about that?"
Mo Qiu instantly lost it. "Who doesn't know that your family has so many good things? It's not like I can control who wants to target you."
"I won't care about that. If you don't have a way, then I can't do anything about your brother's poison. Oh right, let me remind you that your brother's poison will rot all over his body in seven days. In the end, he will die from the itch and pain. Of course, I won't let him die so quickly. There's an antidote here. As long as I'm fine in the next two months, they will naturally be fine then." Xu Qing had to be ruthless for the sake of her family's safety. Of course, she believed that Mo Qiu would not disappoint her.
The more Xu Qing spoke, the wider Mo Qiu's eyes widened, as if she had seen something terrifying. "You… you…" Even though Mo Qiu was good at cursing, she was shocked into speechlessness this time. After all, she had never left the village in her life, much less seen such a terrifying thing…
In the end, Mo Qiu took the antidote and left indignantly. She was quite capable and really let Xu Qing lead a stable life for two months. Although her place was rumored to be a living hell, this did not affect Xu Qing because her body had already recovered…
"Sister Xu Qing, Sister Xu Qing, quick… go home and take a look. Auntie is about to be beaten to death!" Wu Xiao'an suddenly ran in while sweating and panting.
Xu Qing frowned and said in a low voice, "What happened? Let's go!"
Chapter 22: Evil Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It turned out that a large engineering team had come to find craftsmen to open up mountains and mine. Normally, everyone was willing to do such a job because it would earn more than farming. However, this project was looking for the first batch of people to mine.
The older people knew that the first batch of people to enter the mine earned the most money. However, usually, only one out of ten would return. The others would die. This first batch of people was also called the suicide squad and was the vanguard. They risked their lives to earn money they might not be able to spend!
However, when the Xu family found out about this, they made Xu Jiangxi participate. As long as he went, whether he lived or died, he would get a lot of money. If he died, there would be more money! If he didn't want to go, they would wait for Xu Qing to take out the money. The Xu family had come up with a good plan this time.
When Qu Feng found out about this, how could she let Xu Jiangxi go? Naturally, she refused. Chen Qiulian was angry with Xu Qing to begin with. Now that there was a way to earn money, Qu Feng actually dared to stop her? She was so angry that she took out a stick and hit her.
When Xu Qing arrived, many villagers were watching the commotion outside Old Master Xu's yard. Some of them were sympathetic, and some were watching with amusement, but no one went up to stop them. After all, they were all poor families, and some were willing to go. What if they survived? That would be a lot of money, enough for a family to live for a few years. Besides, there were not many chances like this.
"Mother, stop hitting me. I'll go!" Xu Jiangxi closed his eyes in pain and knelt in front of Chen Qiulian. He only hoped that Chen Qiulian would stop hitting Qu Feng. If he really couldn't come back, this money would be enough for the children to live on.
The children kneeling beside Qu Feng immediately cried when they heard their father say that. "Father, don't go…"
"Xu Jiangxi! How can you agree? What will happen to us if you leave?!" Qu Feng cried her heart out.
"What are you crying for! You vicious woman! You think everyone in our family is dead? If he dies, you'll naturally be taken care of by our family! What else can we do?!" Chen Qiulian was so angry that she swept her broom at Qu Feng again.
However, if Xu Jiangxi really died, that money definitely wouldn't go to Qu Feng and her family's hands, and their children would be sold.
Xu Huai clenched his fists and glared at Chen Qiulian.
"Mother, stop hitting her!" Xu Jiangxi stood in front of Qu Feng and allowed Chen Qiulian to hit him.
"Don't blame us. Your mother had no choice!" Old Master Xu sighed helplessly while knocking his tobacco pipe.
"That's right, Third Brother. We drew the lots in the beginning. If you win, it's also a chance to go out and earn money. This kind of work is not always available…" Mo Qiu, the eldest sister-in-law, said hypocritically.
Xu Jiangxi and his family glared at Mo Qiu indignantly.
"Aunt is lying. I saw Grandma change it. Uncle got picked!" Xu Xiang was still a child, so no one realized that she had been under the window and had seen all of this.
These words caused different expressions to appear on the faces of everyone in the courtyard.
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.
The people outside the courtyard understood that the Xu family was really biased. They would rather let their third son die in exchange for compensation!
"Look at the little bitch you raised!" Chen Qiulian was enraged and glared at Qu Feng!
Qu Feng seemed to have made up her mind. She looked up and said, "Mother, Xu Xiang has already seen it. You can't bully us like this. We won't go!" Then, Qu Feng pulled Xu Xiang into her arms, afraid that Chen Qiulian would vent her anger on the child!
Chen Qiulian was trembling with anger. When her second daughter-in-law, Zhao Bing, saw that Xu Qing had finally arrived, she said in a sarcastic tone, "Third Sister-in-law, it's not that Mother is heartless, but the family has really fallen on hard times. There are so many people and we have to eat. Doesn't Xu Qing have a rich master? Let her take out some money. Could it be that Xu Qing wants to watch her father die?"
Xu Qing couldn't help but sneer when she heard Zhao Bing's voice. She finally understood what was going on!
"Second Sister-in-law, you can't be like this!" Qu Feng would not do such an ungrateful thing. After all, that master had already helped them a lot. Furthermore, Xu Qing's master had long left, so how could she have money?!
"Listen to that. You mean that you'd rather watch your parents starve to death than ask that master for money?!" Mo Qiu also fanned the flames.
"You slut, I'm going to kill you today, you evil thing!" Chen Qiulian's broom was about to fall.
However, in the next second, the broom was grabbed by a slender hand. However, the person holding the broom almost staggered and fell.
Chapter 23: Let's Leave The Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Qing sighed. Her body was still very weak! Although she was not a very powerful person in the past, she had at least practiced Taekwondo. Her strength was above that of an ordinary person. After all, she was a person who used a scalpel!
Chen Qiulian and Xu Qing stared at each other for a while. Seeing that they couldn't get the broom back for a moment, they immediately screamed at the kneeling Xu Jiangxi, "Damn it, you son of a bitch. Third Brother, you didn't control your daughter and actually dared to attack your mother. This unfilial daughter should have been strangled to death when she was born!"
"Xiao Qing, let go." Xu Jiangxi felt deep disappointment. He looked up and whispered to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Jiangxi's shocked expression and wondered if she should take the opportunity to split the family!
"If I let go, Mother will be beaten up. After you leave, our children will be sold in the blink of an eye!" Xu Qing said firmly.
Qu Feng and the children cried even more fiercely.
"Don't talk nonsense. How could your grandparents do this?!" Xu Jiangxi had never dared to think like this, but Xu Jiangxi became suspicious when Xu Qing said this!
Chen Qiulian widened her eyes. Old Master Xu, who had been smoking at the side, was instantly displeased when he heard Xu Qing's words. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Xu Qing chuckled and didn't say anything. She just looked at Xu Jiangxi.
Xu Jiangxi smiled bitterly, as if he had made a decision. He knelt in front of Old Master Xu with a thud. "Father, I'll go. I only hope that you can send my family out to live alone!" When Xu Jiangxi said this, he was trembling, but he had to do it!
These words made Qu Feng and the others agitated and shocked the villagers. Old Master Xu's family was also in disbelief. He was the most obedient person in the family. How could he dare to suggest leaving?!
When she found out that he was going to take on this job, Qu Feng had said that if he really went, she would leave. At that time, Xu Jiangxi felt that this would not do. After all, if he left, how would Qu Feng and the children live? At least there were men in the Xu family and they would not let them be bullied by outsiders. However, Qu Feng cried bitterly. Sometimes, outsiders were better than this family…
"What did you say?" Old Master Xu knocked his pipe on the rock beside him and glared at Xu Jiangxi, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to look up.
Xu Jiangxi closed his eyes and said firmly, "Father, please split our family!"
"Bastard!" Old Master Xu roared.
Chen Qiulian and the others at the side rolled their eyes. If they really split it, their family would be able to save more money. Furthermore, if Xu Jiangxi went out, what could Qu Feng and the others do?!
However, she did not dare to openly oppose Old Master Xu. After all, Old Man Xu cared about his reputation and would not allow his sons to leave the family while he was still alive.
"Third Brother, apologize to your father. Don't anger him," Chen Qiulian said hypocritically.
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.
"Father, please." Xu Jiangxi kowtowed. The sound of his forehead hitting the ground sounded muffled and painful.
"Unfilial son! Cough, cough, cough…" Old Master Xu's neck was red and he coughed angrily.
"Third Brother, if you really want to leave…" Before Chen Qiulian could finish speaking, she was glared at by Old Master Xu. Chen Qiulian hurriedly said, "You can't take anything away. The fields aren't yours either!"
This time, Old Master Xu turned around in satisfaction. Although this was unkind, it would definitely stop him from wanting to split up.
Xu Jiangxi collapsed to the ground. If he hadn't left, they could have gritted their teeth and endured it even if there were no fields. But now, if only Qu Feng and the children were left, how could they live? He was in despair and was very disappointed in his parents.
Qu Feng was also in despair. Could it be that they could only be bullied by the Xu family?
How could Xu Qing let go of this opportunity? She hurriedly went forward and said, "Father, agree. I can take good care of Mother and my siblings."
Old Master Xu glared at Xu Qing. "You're my son. How can I give your family away right after you go out to work? If you leave your family behind, we can help you take good care of your wife and children. I promise you that when you come back, they will be at home!" Old Master Xu suddenly promised.
Xu Qing gritted her teeth in anger. Looking at the wavering Xu Jiangxi, she was afraid that her family would not be able to leave…
Chapter 24: Another Wave Rises Before the First Wave Calms
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After all, Old Master Xu had already lowered his head. If they continued to be aggressive, they would be unfilial. They probably wouldn't be able to establish themselves in this village in the future! Xu Zhi had to go to school in the future, so he could not be implicated! Xu Qing knew that she could only find another opportunity and leave openly!
"Father, it's my fault for being unfilial and making you worry," Xu Jiangxi said in a muffled voice. In fact, it was definitely necessary to have the protection of the family. However, his wife and children would definitely suffer some grievances. However, this was better than leaving. At least, random people wouldn't bully them!
In the end, this matter was dropped. Xu Qing could only go back and wait for other opportunities to let them split up. Just thinking about it made her feel tired.
At night, Qu Feng sewed new clothes for Xu Jiangxi with tears in her eyes. The three children were very sensible and did not cry.
"I've disappointed you." Xu Jiangxi lowered his head, his tone filled with sorrow.
Qu Feng wiped her tears and looked at Xu Jiangxi's guilty expression. She said softly, "I know your concerns…" Xu Jiangxi wouldn't be around and there was nothing for them. How could they live?!
"Don't worry, I will definitely get Father and Mother to take good care of you and the children." Xu Jiangxi seemed to have made a decision, and his eyes lit up.
Qu Feng smiled bitterly. How could the people of the Xu family take good care of them?! She looked at the clothes in her hand and smiled even more bitterly. Old Master Xu did not even give her the money for a new piece of clothing. The place where they went down to the mine was in the north. It was said that it was very cold, so this piece of clothing was the latest of all Xu Jiangxi's clothes. Qu Feng pulled out some cotton that she wanted to cover herself with in winter and stuffed it into her clothes.
If even a piece of clothing was so difficult for him to buy, how could it not make people despair?
Xu Qing was indeed rich and could solve the problem at hand, but she didn't want the Xu family to feel too comfortable, nor did she want to give the Xu family a chance to extort her. There were still three days, and these three days were enough for her to think of a way.
However, the next day, something happened to Xu Jiangxi.
"Xu Qing, something happened to your father! He was carried out of the mountain and is covered in blood…" Wu Xiao'an ran in in a panic. When she thought of that scene, she was so afraid that her entire body trembled. She had never seen so much blood on a person's body.
Xu Qing paused and handed the children to Auntie Wu. She took the surgical supplies left behind by Bai Xian and the three precious life-saving pills he had given her.
At this moment, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the Xu family's house. Those people were whispering to each other with pity and coldness on their faces. However, the people from the Xu family were colder than them.
"There's so much blood. He won't survive…" Someone in the crowd said.
"Did anyone invite Doctor Zhu?"
"I saw Hunter Cao's youngest son run to get the doctor."
...
"Mother, how can Third Brother go to the mine in this state?!" Zhao Bing's eyes were filled with worry. However, she was not worried about Xu Jiangxi's injuries, but that if Xu Jiangxi was injured, he would not be able to earn money. Even if he died, he had to die in the mine.
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.
Chen Qiulian was so angry that her face turned livid. When she heard her third son and his family crying, she roared angrily, "Cry, cry, cry! What are you crying for?!"
Qu Feng and the others ignored Chen Qiulian and continued to cry. Xu Jiangxi's appearance really made them think that Xu Jiangxi could not make it, so they cried their hearts out!
Old Master Xu, who was at the side, glared at Chen Qiulian, but he was also uncomfortable with Qu Feng and the others' clamor. His tone was a little impatient. "Don't crowd around. Go see why Second Brother hasn't returned."
Xu Jiangdong was about to run out of the crowd when Xu Jiangnan's figure appeared in the crowd. Xu Jiangnan asked with a puzzled expression, "Father, you called me?"
"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to get a doctor?" Old Master Xu was shocked. So they had waited for so long for nothing?
"I didn't hear anything." Xu Jiangnan had a matter-of-fact expression.
"Hurry up and go!" Old Master Xu shouted angrily. No matter what, this was his son! He couldn't really leave him in the lurch!
"Oh…" Only then did Xu Jiangnan leave reluctantly. However, his footsteps were like he was taking a stroll.
Xu Jiangxi was dizzy from the blood loss, but he could still sense what was happening in the outside world. He had really been disappointed by this family. He couldn't help but think about what he had done wrong for this family to treat him like this! He had made his wife and children suffer with him! All of this had become ridiculous…
Chapter 25: Splitting Up
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"Make way, Doctor Zhu is here." Someone in the crowd shouted.
When Xu Jiangnan heard this voice, he instantly turned around and thought that he didn't have to make the trip.
Old Master Xu felt his face turn red and got them to disperse.
Doctor Zhu ran over while panting, but he didn't dare to delay any longer. After all, Xu Jiangxi was clearly on the verge of death. He went forward to check for a while and shook his head while sighing. With his medical skills, he couldn't save Xu Jiangxi at all!
Xu Jiangxi had encountered a big black bear in the mountains. His chest had been slapped and four of his ribs had been broken. His legs were also lacerated. If not for the fact that he had happened to encounter a man from the Cao family hunting in the mountains, Xu Jiangxi would have been swallowed by the black bear.
Qu Feng wailed and fainted. She had never expected that Xu Jiangxi would actually go hunting in the mountains in order to let them have a better life in the Xu family in the future. He wanted to earn as much money as possible for the Xu family. However, who would have thought…
"Mother!" Xu Huai and the others cried again. They had already lost their father, so they couldn't lose their mother too! Despair enveloped three small figures.
Doctor Zhu hurriedly pinched Qu Feng's philtrum. However, after she woke up, she cried again. She was about to faint again.
The surrounding people sighed. This family was really pitiful!
"My condolences… My medical skills are limited, so I can't save him. If I send him to the town and find a professional doctor, he might still be saved!" Although the chance was slim, there was still some hope!
However, when Chen Qiulian heard this, her expression immediately changed. "Can we afford to hire a professional doctor? Furthermore, since he's already like this, sending him over will be a waste of money!"
Xu Huai and the other two glared at Chen Qiulian.
Chen Qiulian's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to curse, she was interrupted by Old Master Xu. "Shut up. Second Brother, go find the village chief to pick up the ox cart and send Third Brother to the town!" Old Master Xu knew very well that even if he was beyond saving, they had to put on a show. Otherwise, how could they stay in the village?!
"Oh!" Xu Jiangnan slowly walked towards the village chief's house.
As for Xu Qing, she had brought the village chief, the village chief's son, and the ox cart over. She knew that with Doctor Zhu's medical skills, he probably wouldn't be able to save anyone. She did not know if Xu Jiangxi's injuries were serious. If they were not life-threatening, she would send him to the town first. When the time came, she would save him there, since there were too many people here and they would gossip. If she suddenly displayed such good medical skills, it would make people suspect. Even with the excuse of being the Divine Doctor's disciple, it had only been a few months. If the Xu family tried to take advantage of the situation, it would be troublesome.
However, she had underestimated Xu Jiangxi's injuries. He had already lost too much blood and was about to go into shock. This situation was very dangerous.
Xu Qing quickly went over and asked the crowd to disperse. Then, she secretly fed him a life-saving pill given by Bai Xian. Just as the people of the Xu family were about to scold her, Xu Qing shouted coldly, "Everyone, disperse!"
Then, she said to Old Master Xu, "My father's condition isn't good. He needs ginseng to keep him alive!"
When Chen Qiulian heard that, she shouted, "How can we have money to buy ginseng?!"
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.
"That's right. Even eating is a problem. Do you know how much ginseng costs?!" Mo Qiu and Zhao Bing chimed in.
Xu Qing's expression darkened. If not for the fact that she had not brought any money when she came out, she would not have bothered to speak to the Xu family. Time was of the essence now! Although she had fed him that life-saving pill, it only gave him a slightly higher chance of survival.
Qu Feng suddenly pounced in front of Old Master Xu and begged in a hoarse voice, "Please save us. The children are still young. They can't be without a father! He entered the deep mountains to earn more money and be filial to you!"
Zhao Bing, on the other hand, muttered, "Since he was going to go to the mine, he was going to die sooner or later… Now that he's dead, we've suffered a loss. We got nothing in return, but you guys even asked us for money…"
Xu Qing glared at Zhao Bing coldly, causing Zhao Bing's heart to skip a beat. This girl's gaze was really becoming more and more terrifying!
The surroundings were filled with sympathetic comments. Everyone talked about how filial Xu Jiangxi was…
Old Master Xu couldn't help but look troubled. "It's not that I don't want to give it, but our family really doesn't have money…"
Xu Qing looked at Old Master Xu coldly and suddenly said, "In that case, let's leave!"
Everyone was shocked. She wanted to leave at this time? Even the village chief was stunned. Shouldn't they hurry to the mayor to find a doctor.?
Chapter 26: Healing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"What nonsense are you talking about at this time?" Although Old Master Xu also wanted to chase her, the most useless member of the family, out, this was definitely not the time. Not only had they not earned any money, but if they leave now, there was no telling how he would be scolded.
"I'm very clear-headed. The money you give us to buy the ginseng now is what we get after splitting the family assets. We don't want anything else," Xu Qing replied calmly.
Qu Feng looked at her daughter in shock, but in the end, she remained silent.
However, the village chief at the side said, "Xu Qing…" However, he shut his mouth again. Although they were in a small village and were poor and backward, it did not mean that they were inhumane. He would not allow such a situation, but the Xu family's situation was really…
"Village Chief, you don't have to say anything. My father can't wait anymore," Xu Qing said in a low voice.
The village chief wanted to say that the Xu family could not refuse to fork out money just because Xu Jiangxi was on the brink of death now. They were actually going to leave home at this time. He touched his pocket, but he couldn't take out any money at this time. Moreover, even if he did, his wife probably wouldn't agree. There was a drought this year, and the harvest definitely wouldn't be good. He was helpless…
"Yes, or no? Give me an answer!" Xu Qing looked at Old Master Xu again.
"This…" Old Master Xu felt the strange gazes around him, but he thought that it was actually worth it to split Xu Jiangxi's family with just one ginseng coin. After all, in this way, Xu Jiangxi's family's fields and house would be left behind.
"Why are you talking about splitting up at this time? Am I the kind of person to kick someone when they're down? Chen Qiulian, take the money!" Although Old Man Xu said this, he had already made up his mind. After Xu Jiangxi's matter was over, he would kick her out. Since his son wanted to leave time and time again, he would let him leave to avoid being an eyesore.
After all, he was very willing to lose a useless son in exchange for a promising son.
Chen Qiulian could only withdraw the money reluctantly.
Xu Qing used all her strength to get the money from Chen Qiulian and handed it to Xu Huai solemnly. "Take the ox-cart to town and buy a hundred-year-old ginseng. Be quick!"
"Yes!" Xu Huai wiped his tears and left in a hurry.
Xu Qing didn't stay idle either. She used the scissors she had brought to cut Xu Jiangxi's clothes at his wound and took out a bottle of medicinal powder to pour on it. It was all thanks to Bai Xian. This old man really left her with many good things before he left.
Xu Jiangxi's wound had to be stitched up, but since he was bleeding non-stop, she had to stop the bleeding first. She did not know how to stitch acupoints to stop the bleeding, so she could only use a conventional method. Xu Qing found two more wooden sticks and reconnected Xu Jiangxi's broken ribs.
Xu Qing finished doing all of this in one go, while the people around her never stopped talking. Those women even turned around and said something about how embarrassing it was for a girl to actually cut her father's clothes.
On the other hand, Doctor Zhu was shocked. He did not expect a little girl like Xu Qing to have such a skilled bone reconnection technique. And that medicinal powder's effect of stopping the bleeding was the best he had ever seen.
"Carry him into the room." Xu Qing had completely entered the state she usually had once she entered the operating theater. There was no additional explanation, only cold orders. She had to stitch up the patient's wound immediately.
When the Xu family saw that Xu Qing actually dared to order them, they were about to curse when they looked up and saw Xu Qing raising her sharp scissors at them. Her gaze seemed like she was going to stab them to death in the next second, and they subconsciously carried him in.
Xu Qing called Doctor Zhu and Xu Zhi in to help. Then, Chen Qiulian reacted and was about to scold them, but she saw Xu Qing close the door fiercely and almost break her nose. She was so angry that she couldn't stop cursing. However, no one paid attention to her. The people around her were also disdainful. In the end, Old Master Xu felt embarrassed and scolded her coldly before stopping.
Xu Qing could not handle it alone. She had to have an assistant. As a doctor, she personally did not differentiate between men and women. It was just that there were differences between men and women in this world. If she only called Doctor Zhu, he would not come in. Xu Qing looked at Xu Zhi solemnly. "You're a man, so no matter what happens later, don't be afraid, understand?"
"Yes! Don't worry, Sister." Xu Zhi clenched his fists.
"Then talk to Father now. Don't stop even for a moment," Xu Qing instructed. She was actually afraid that Xu Jiangxi wouldn't be able to hold on, so she had to constantly remind him that he still had people to hold on for.
Xu Qing briefly explained what Doctor Zhu wanted to do before putting on a mask and starting to sew the wound.
Doctor Zhu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This woman actually wanted to sew someone like clothes?
Chapter 27: Divine Farmer Garden
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, Xu Qing did not give Doctor Zhu time to be shocked and had already begun the surgery. Fortunately, the effects of the hemostatic medicine were good. Otherwise, if this continued, Xu Jiangxi would definitely lose too much blood…
However, halfway through Xu Qing's surgery, Xu Jiangxi's condition suddenly worsened. In fact, the reason why he could last so long was partly because he was worried about the children, but also because of Bai Xian's pill. However, no matter what, he could not withstand such torture. Xu Qing's expression was solemn. Xu Huai had not returned yet…
"Xu Zhi, go see where Xu Huai is!" Xu Qing said in a low voice.
Xu Zhi didn't know what happened, but he still ran out obediently. Fortunately, Xu Huai ran in while panting.
When Xu Huai saw everything in the room, he was stunned, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly handed the ginseng to Xu Qing.
"Put it in his mouth," Xu Qing instructed without stopping.
During the entire process, she was nervous and excited. Xu Qing finally stitched up the wounds that were dozens of centimeters long. Then, she poured some hemostatic medicine. Xu Jiangxi was quite lucky. Otherwise, he would probably be beyond saving.
When Xu Qing and the others went out, everyone was waiting curiously, especially when they saw Doctor Zhu's pale face.
"How magical!" Doctor Zhu's eyes lit up.
"How was it inside?" someone asked.
"He survived!" Doctor Zhu didn't explain and only said a simple sentence.
Doctor Zhu's words shocked everyone again. After all, Xu Jiangxi's injuries were obvious to everyone. He actually survived?
"Village Chief, can I borrow your ox cart again? My father still has to get the doctor in town to take a look." Xu Qing knew that Xu Jiangxi's subsequent recuperation was more important, and she had to use the best medicine.
The village chief naturally agreed.
As for the rest of the Xu family, no one followed. What if they spent more money? They acted like it had nothing to do with them. Xu Qing didn't expect this family to have any conscience either, so her family followed the village chief.
There were only two largest hospitals in the town. One was the Divine Farmer Garden. No matter whether they were poor or rich, they were willing to help. The Divine Farmer Garden was the most famous because it received a patient of a dying person every month. As long as you could afford it, you could be cured of your illness. Therefore, the Divine Farmer Garden's medical skills were praised by the world. There was another more eccentric thing about the Divine Farmer Garden, which was that it opened its doors irregularly.
As for the other place, it was a luxurious and huge famous medicine hall. It monopolized almost the entire town's medicinal herbs and only treated the rich. Its medical skills were also extraordinary.
Because they were the first to arrive at the Famous Medicine Hall, and because Xu Jiangxi's situation could not wait, even if she felt that there was a problem with the Famous Medicine Hall's medical products, Xu Qing could only grit her teeth and endure it. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to carry him in, they were stopped.
That person had a proud expression and said disdainfully, "We don't allow people to owe medical fees here!"
"How do you know that we can't afford it?" Xu Qing's gaze turned cold.
"I've already said it very tactfully. You actually have the cheek to ask? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror and see how poor you look? Hurry up and leave!" The security guard chased them away.

Xu Qing's expression was cold. Gao Shi, the village chief's son, said to Xu Qing, "Let's change places. This is not a place we can afford to offend."
Xu Qing nodded and remembered the Famous Medicine Hall. She was a doctor and had a kind heart, but no one knew that her heart was actually colder than anyone else's. "Go to the Divine Farmer Garden."
Gao Shi was a little hesitant. Although the Divine Farmer Garden was a little different from the Famous Medicine Hall, they both required enough money to receive treatment. He wanted to say that he wanted to go to a small place, but seeing Xu Qing's certainty, he couldn't say anything. He could only drive the ox cart to the Divine Farmer Garden. In the end, when he arrived, he saw that the place was actually closed!
This time, Qu Feng could not help but cry softly.
"Xu Huai, go knock on the door." Xu Qing went down herself.
Xu Xiang had cried for the entire day and was so tired that she was lying in Qu Feng's arms. Xu Zhi was still talking to Xu Jiangxi and had always remembered the mission his sister had given him.
After Xu Huai knocked for a while, a young man's voice came from the room. "It's a rest day today. Please go back."
Xu Huai was a little anxious and was about to say something when he saw Xu Qing take out an extremely good jade pendant and hand it through the door. "Please bring this to your boss. Thank you."
The boy inside was a little confused, but he felt that the other party's tone was serious, so he brought it in. Before long, a middle-aged man walked out of the room. Although he hid it, people still noticed the excitement in his eyes…
Chapter 28: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The middle-aged man was about forty years old. His cheekbones were high and his eyes were deep. When he looked at people, he gave off a levelheaded feeling. He looked at Xu Qing and sized her up. He was puzzled. "Where did you get this?"
Xu Qing smiled. "An old man gave it to me."
"Since you have the divine doctor's token, please go ahead." Although the middle-aged man could not understand how Divine Doctor Bai Xian was related to the village girl, the token was not fake.
Xu Qing nodded and turned around to ask Gao Shi to help carry Xu Jiangxi in. Xu Huai also quickly went to help.
"My name is Gong Jingzhang. I'm the boss of the Divine Farmer Garden, the branch garden in Saddle Town. I'm also a doctor." The man introduced himself politely.
"My name is Xu Qing. Can I call you Uncle Gong? I hope Uncle Gong can help me hide this matter," Xu Qing said calmly. She didn't want to cause trouble. If the Xu family found out that she was related to the Divine Farmer Garden, the separation would definitely be stopped and she would be taken advantage of.
"Alright." Gong Jingzhang looked at their shabby clothes and thought that this little girl was a thoughtful person.
Not only were the people on the streets puzzled about being able to enter the Divine Farmer Garden, but Gao Shi could not help but ask Xu Huai, "Aren't they closed today?"
"My sister begged them for a long time before they opened the door." Although Xu Huai was ten years old, he was a child of a poor family and was sensible early. He noticed that his sister's jade pendant was even more precious than his mother's family heirloom. It definitely had a complicated story to it, so he naturally could not tell outsiders about it.
"I see…" Gao Shi was simple-minded and didn't think too much about it.
After Gao Shi carried Xu Jiangxi into the backyard of the Divine Farmer Garden, Xu Qing took out a few hundred yuan and said, "Brother Gao, the sky is dark. You've been busy the entire day. Go back first. This is the money for borrowing your car. I'm really grateful for what you did for me today."
"Xiao Qing, how can I accept this money? Treat your father's illness." Gao Shi was not a person who took advantage of others. He refused to accept it no matter what. This family was already miserable enough.
"If you don't accept this money, we won't dare to use your ox cart in the future." Xu Qing insisted. After all, exchanging favors was not something that could be done with just a thank you.
"Alright…" Gao Shi couldn't refuse and helplessly accepted it before leaving the Divine Farmer Garden.
"Little Qing, if you ask Gao Shi to go back, what should we do?" Qu Feng was a little worried.
"We'll live here before Father recovers." Xu Qing added inside. During this period, she would also resolve the matter of splitting up the family.
"Can we live here?" Qu Feng could not believe it. Could they afford to live here?
"Don't worry, Uncle Gong took pity on us and asked us to help arrange the herbs to pay for it." This was what Xu Qing had discussed with Gong Jingzhang just now.
Qu Feng looked at the unconscious Xu Jiangxi and could only nod. After all, even if they went back, they would not have a place to stay or medicine to take. Today, Old Master Xu had taken out the money to buy ginseng, and that explained everything. There was no place for them in the Xu family.

Xu Qing did not have the time to console Qu Feng. She turned around and went to the pharmacy to get the herbs.
After Gong Jingzhang helped Xu Jiangxi check, he praised the person who treated his wound. It was really brilliant. However, Gong Jingzhang did not expect this was done by a woman like Xu Qing. He was about to fill a prescription when he saw Xu Qing skillfully filling a prescription. Gong Jingzhang looked a little unhappy. "Miss Xu, filling a prescription can't be done by just anyone." He was a doctor, and his greatest pet peeve was people pretending to know something when they didn't, which would delay treatment.
"Yes." Xu Qing nodded calmly, but her hands didn't stop moving. She was very anxious now. After she finished taking care of Xu Jiangxi, she still had to go back and take care of the children.
Gong Jingzhang frowned when he saw Xu Qing acting without reading the prescription and ask Xu Huai to brew the medicine.
Xu Qing got the prescription and looked up to see Gong Jingzhang's expression. She said calmly, "Uncle Gong, did you see the medicine just now? Is there a problem?"
Hearing this, Gong Jingzhang finally reacted. He checked the medicine and his eyes instantly lit up. This concoction was really instant. Then, he suddenly realized something. Could it be that this prescription was not given by Divine Doctor Bai Xian? But how could a woman have such good medical skills?
Xu Qing didn't answer him. She turned around and left. She said, "I'll pay you the fees after this period of time." She wouldn't accept anyone's help for free. In her opinion, there was no free help in this world. She wouldn't owe anyone a favor. She was also returning Bai Xian's favor.
Gong Jingzhang was a little vexed. "You don't have to return these. That jade pendant…"
Xu Qing did not answer. She gave Qu Feng some instructions and hurriedly rented a carriage to return to the village. She had not seen the three children for an entire day and really missed them. Unexpectedly, before she entered the house, she heard the children's cries and clamors…
Chapter 29: Child Crisis
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chen Qiulian stood outside the straw hut and instructed her two daughters-in-law. Mo Qiu and Zhao Bing hurriedly moved their things, and their faces were all smiles.
"You can't snatch Little Qing's things!" Auntie Wu hugged Xu Hanxue and coaxed her while shouting anxiously at Chen Qiulian.
Mo Qiu and Zhao Bing still had no intention of stopping. They smiled even more happily.
"This little slut actually hid so many good things!" Zhao Bing's eyes lit up, and her greedy look made it seem like she wanted to swallow this straw hut.
Only Mo Qiu, who was at the side, was a little wary. She no longer dared to scold Xu Qing for being a little slut. After all, her brother's miserable state was still vivid in her mind, but she was still greedy. She looked at Chen Qiulian and was no longer afraid. She shut up and moved the things.
Chen Qiulian placed her hands on her hips. Her fat body was like that of an old hen that had flown up. She said arrogantly, "You piece of trash that no man wants. This is my granddaughter's house. I can take anything I want. It's none of your business! Besides, it's already so late. Why are you still here? Are you trying to steal something while there's no one here?"
Wu Xiao'an's eyes turned red with anger. "My mother didn't steal anything. Xu Qing asked us to stay here and take care of the children!"
"Tsk, my granddaughter isn't here now, there's no one to prove that what you said is true! There are only two families at the foot of the mountain. You must be feeling greedy since you think there's something valuable here. Now that you're hugging her children, are you thinking of selling them?" Chen Qiulian looked at the three little bastards. They had rosy lips and white teeth, and were as beautiful as the wealthy young masters and young mistresses from the city. A scheming look flashed in her eyes. She would sell them while that little slut was not at home. She had heard that beautiful children were the most valuable. She had spent a lot of money today and could make up for it!
"You unwanted bitch, you must be thinking of selling the children. Hurry up and give them to me. Otherwise, when my granddaughter comes back, you'll suffer!" Chen Qiulian reached out to snatch the children. She had already thought it through. If the matter was exposed, she would say that Wu Cuizhen had done it. Anyway, no one would believe that she, the grandmother, had sold off the children.
"Chen Qiulian, you're shameless! You're too vicious." Wu Cuizhen cursed as she dodged. She could tell that Chen Qiulian had ill intentions.
"Bullshit! You're the vicious one! Aren't the two of you going to help?" Chen Qiulian roared.
Instantly, the curses in the room and the cries of the children rose and fell. Wu Xiao'an was burning with anxiety and did not dare to leave since she was afraid that they would hurt the children.
When Xu Qing returned, she saw Chen Qiulian pulling Xu Hanxue, who was in Auntie Wu's arms, and Xu Hanxue crying loudly. Her heart ached.
The two brothers on the crib also cried.
Wu Cuizhen's heart ached for the child, so she could only let go. However, she did not expect Chen Qiulian to not hold her and drop Xu Hanxue from her hand!
"No!" Xu Qing roared and rushed forward crazily. However, the child fell too quickly and everything happened too quickly.
Bang! A sound rang out!
Xu Qing sat on the ground with a pale face. At that moment, she was already filled with killing intent. If anything happened to Xu Hanxue today, she would definitely let the Xu family die with her. Fortunately, Wu Xiao'an caught the child.
However, Wu Xiao'an was also a thin and weak little girl. The moment she caught it with her body, the already weak Xu Hanxue was still frightened. Wu Xiao'an also broke her arm.
Xu Qing propped up her limp body and helped Wu Xiao'an up. She checked Xu Hanxue and confirmed that she was not injured. She handed the child to Wu Cuizhen and quickly bent Wu Xiao'an's arm over, causing her to cry in pain.
As for the two brothers, they seemed to have sensed their sister's danger and were crying at the top of their lungs. Even the eldest brother, Xu Yuanguang, who usually didn't make a sound, cried hoarsely.
All of this happened too quickly, but it did not stop Chen Qiulian and the others from wanting to run after taking the items. Xu Qing's bone-chilling voice sounded. "Damn old witch, where are you going?"
That cold voice seemed extremely sinister in the cold night.
"You little slut, how can you speak to your grandmother like that?" Zhao Bing shouted while stretching her neck, as if she wouldn't be afraid anymore if she acted like this. In front of her chubby body was Xu Qing's family's rice.
"You threw my daughter to the ground, snatched my things, and injured the Wu family's mother and daughter. You want to turn around and leave?" Xu Qing kicked a certain acupoint on Zhao Bing's body and directly kicked her fat body to the ground. The rice in Zhao Bing's hand also fell to the ground while she cried out…
Chapter 30: Pay with Your Life
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Qing's gaze made people tremble with fear. She could not hit this old thing, but towards Zhao Bing, Xu Qing, did not have any scruples.
Chen Qiulian looked at Zhao Bing, who had fallen to the ground and was wailing, in shock. She said with a feigned calm voice, "That… bastard… isn't the child fine?"
"You said he's okay when he's crying like that? Do you think it's only serious if he falls to his death? Old thing, aren't you afraid of retribution? That brother of mine is only five years old, but he was starved to death by you and died of exhaustion. Have you never dreamed of him? Did he tell you that he's hungry and tired? I'll make you pay with your life!" Xu Qing's cold and angry voice, coupled with the cold wind at night, frightened Chen Qiulian so much that her legs trembled.
"Who… are you scaring? That's because he's unlucky. What has it got to do with me?" Chen Qiulian trembled.
"Hehe!" Xu Qing sneered and continued gloomily, "Only you believe this. I saw my poor brother yesterday. He didn't have a single piece of flesh on his body. He was skinny and his face was pale. His eyes were already bulging and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. His tongue was so long. He told me that he died unwillingly and that he was so hungry. He wanted to find you and your family. He wanted to ask why you were so heartless…"
"Ah!" Chen Qiulian screamed. It was unknown what she thought of, but she became more and more afraid, and her lips were trembling.
"Mother… Mother, what should we do?" Zhao Bing was also a little afraid. She stood up while trembling. She had tortured that child a lot. Now that it was dark, she was a little afraid.
"Shut up, useless fool. Go home!" Chen Qiulian glared at her. Her rolling eyes and ferocious face frightened Zhao Bing. She screamed and turned to run.
"Zhao Bing, that bitch!" Chen Qiulian spat and prepared to leave. However, she heard Xu Qing's sinister laughter, which made her body tremble. Mo Qiu, who was at the side, also trembled. Xu Qing was indeed becoming more and more terrifying.
In the end, the two of them ran away without bringing anything with them, afraid that those things would delay their speed.
Xu Qing looked at their impatient movements and had a strange smile on her face. She hoped that they would like the gift she had given them. Wanted to leave after bullying her?
When Xu Qing turned around again, her expression had already returned to normal. The three children had already fallen asleep after crying. Xu Qing wiped the children's tears with heartache and swore in her heart that she would never let anyone bully them in the future!
Although Wu Cuizhen was also afraid of what Xu Qing said, she had not done anything wrong, so she was naturally unafraid. However, when she thought of the three children, she looked guilty. "I'm sorry, Xiao Qing. I didn't take good care of the children…"
"Auntie Wu, what has this got to do with you?! Let me take a look at Little An's wound first," Xu Qing said. If not for them today… Xu Qing didn't dare to think about it.
Xu Qing applied the medicine for Wu Xiao'an with tears in her eyes. "Thank you so much." She had nothing when she first came to such a foreign world. These three children were really important to her.
"Xu Qing, my mother and I should have apologized. We promised you to take good care of the children, but we didn't stop them…" Wu Xiao'an felt guilty.
At the mention of the Xu family, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with a cold look. She looked at the uncomfortable Auntie Wu. "My father is still being treated in town. I will have to go over often to take a look. You guys have to help me take care of the family. As for the children, I will bring them along. The Xu family probably won't let this go."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely look after the house for you!" Wu Cuizhen promised. No matter what, she had accepted Xu Qing's money and could not break her promise.
On the other side, Chen Qiulian and the others were frightened on the way back. It was a dark night and the wind was slightly cold. Occasionally, people would light up kerosene lamps. It should have been a beautiful scene, but now, it changed in the eyes of Chen Qiulian and the others.
The gloomy aura and the cold grass were like the hands of a demon that kept reaching out to them. The lights were like ghost flames floating, and the surroundings were gloomy and terrifying. It frightened Chen Qiulian and the others so much that they screamed all the way and fled in panic before falling into some pig dung. The cold feeling made them tremble all over. Finally, Chen Qiulian fainted completely, and Mo Qiu ran home while covered in shit and urine.
Zhao Bing, the first to run home, panted heavily. The Xu family members were puzzled, and Old Master Xu said unhappily, "Where did the three of you go? Don't you know you have to cook? Do you want me to starve to death?"
