Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Schemes Take Shape (2)_1

These people came to watch the excitement, simply to find out whether Lao Mo’s House would cause another uproar, and whether Mrs. Hong, the wicked mother-in-law, would torment her daughter-in-law and granddaughter again.

Now, seeing Mo Yan staying here and not leaving, they were even more curious to know whether she would stand up for Mother and daughter of Mo Wu clan. The close relationship between Mo Yan and the Mo Wu’s mother and daughter was well known throughout Liu Yang Village.

These villagers were just a bit too fond of gossip, but essentially had no bad intentions; otherwise, Wu’s mother and daughter might still be lying under the Ancient poplar tree!

Mo Yan had no interest in their probing words. After greeting those she knew well, she stared intently at the entrance to Lao Mo’s House, disregarding the scrutinizing gazes on her.

At this moment, Doctor Du had already finished taking Mo Wu’s pulse and had set Mo Danier’s shoulder bone and applied medicine. He was now in the main hall discussing the results of the diagnosis.

Ignoring the long faces of Old Man Mo, Mrs. Hong, and others, he spoke eloquently about the condition of the mother and daughter, and ended with a grave expression, saying to the ashen-faced Mo Yongfu, "With Lady Gui’s age, conceiving offspring is already a challenge. This heavy blow and miscarriage have greatly damaged her Original Energy. Even if she seems better on the surface, internally she’s completely exhausted! If she is nurtured with good soups and medicines on a regular basis, she may not be able to work in the fields, but she could live out her days in peace without issues. Your daughter, however, is in grave danger. It would be best for her to rest in bed; otherwise, if the fragmented bone shifts inside and injures her internal organs, I fear for her life..."

"What? What did you say?" Mrs. Hong didn’t wait for Doctor Du to finish, her voice shrill with a sharp cry, "Not able to work, and needing good medicine to be nourished? Bah—I say those two wretches are jinxes, and now they expect me to provide for them? They should look in the mirror and see if they have the fortune to match!"

Such harsh and rude words flowed smoothly from Mrs. Hong, and Doctor Du found them extremely grating. He glanced at Mrs. Hong casually and said, "What I’ve said is the truth. If you don’t believe it, feel free to seek another doctor to take a look. I have said all there is to say, and whether to treat them is up to you."

Having said that, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with these people further, and walked directly out of Lao Mo’s House, carrying his medicine chest.

Doctor Du spoke loudly, and as the thatched-roof houses of Lao Mo’s House were poor at soundproofing, the villagers standing outside, who had come to gawk, heard everything clearly. They forgot their original purpose for coming there and felt an increased sympathy for Mother and daughter of the Mo Wu clan.

Some of the more thoughtful villagers, considering the character of the people from Lao Mo’s House, began to worry for Mother and daughter of the Mo Wu clan. However, this worry was too fragile, with no one possessing the courage or the means to help the mother and daughter with the troubles they might face.

With no more excitement to be seen, the onlooking villagers gradually dispersed. Mo Yan also took Doctor Du back to the Mo Family and inquired about the condition of Mother and daughter of the Mo Wu clan.

Upon learning that Mother and daughter of the Mo Wu clan had no serious health issues, and that Mo Danier’s shoulder bone had been properly set, Mo Yan finally felt relieved. She bustled into the kitchen, planning to prepare a feast for Doctor Du as a token of her gratitude.

...

"Mother, with those two people being like this, should we actually follow the doctor’s advice and treat them?" As soon as Doctor Du left, Yongxi couldn’t wait to ask.

Treating illnesses costs money, and she had no intention of spending Silver Coin from their home to fill this bottomless pit—after all, that money was her Dowry silver! Besides, the doctors had said those two wretches, even if they were cured, would still be useless waste, healing them would be in vain! Later on, not only would the elder one need good medicine for recovery, but the younger one would require care for eating, drinking, and everything else! Humph, useless things should just be tossed out for good!

"Heal, heal, heal, heal what? Two unfilial wretches, curing them just to anger me again?" Mo Hong’s family glared at Mo Yongxi, her face losing the usual warmth towards her eldest daughter.

Mo Yongxi felt a surge of joy inside and, with a spin of her eyes, said, "But mother, if we just drag this out, they won’t get better, can’t die either, and still need to lie in bed waiting to be fed and watered, with someone to take care of them. We can’t just ignore it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong’s family’s already tight face turned even darker. She pursed her lips without responding to Mo Yongxi’s words, but her eyes were brewing something, obviously related to Mother and daughter of Mo Wu clan.

Mo Yongfu hesitantly glanced at Mo Hong’s family, then at Old Man Mo whose face was equally unhappy. A struggle flashed across his face, and he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

The guilt towards his wife and daughter, upon hearing that they not only would cost a considerable amount of Silver for treatment but would also be left with ailments and unable to earn money again, had slowly begun to dissipate, replaced by a sense of powerlessness and fear for the bearing of future life burdens...

Cowardly, selfish men, pitiful yet detestable!

Mo Niu’s, cracking melon seeds, let her gaze linger momentarily on the faces of Old Man Mo, Mo Hong’s family, Mo Yongfu, and Mo Yongxi, seeing in their eyes both the ruthlessness and the compromise, suddenly felt lost.

She was a daughter-in-law of Lao Mo’s House, just like her sister-in-law, an "outsider" in these people’s eyes, yet for a few two silver, she, along with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, had driven her sister-in-law’s child to death and her daughter to disability, leaving her riddled with illnesses! Was what she did really right? Could she possibly meet a good end living with such a cold-hearted and ruthless family?

No, no, it’s different, she was different from her sister-in-law! Her sister-in-law’s heart was too soft, too easy to bully, coupled with a husband like Count who was cowardly and incompetent, that’s why she ended up bullied like this! She was different, tough when necessary, and her husband wouldn’t just watch her get bullied, how could she possibly end up like her sister-in-law?

Aside from Tie Tou, who had gone early to the rice shop, Mo Yonglu, who had gone to the town for temporary work, and a few naive children, the five people in the main room were each harboring their own thoughts. Yet, as if by some unknown force, they were subtly drawn together, and against all expectation, they seemed to reach a silent consensus...

In the room, Mo Wu, whose cheeks had regained some color, sat on the bed, gently consoling her frightened third daughter and youngest son, her eyes emanating a piercing light. It was the kind of glow that only appeared when one’s wishes were on the verge of fulfillment, filled with joy and hope.

However, when her gaze fell upon the bed opposite and she saw her eldest daughter’s face still pale, that brightness instantly dimmed, overflowing with guilt and self-reproach.

Mo Danier just looked over and caught her mother’s gaze; the corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she comforted softly, "Mother, your daughter is alright. Please don’t reproach yourself, or else it will truly upset me!"
