Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Seeking an Opportunity for Revenge

No matter how much they endured from the Old Chiang Family, their love for her was real.

Just like a moment ago, her grandfather would rather be injured himself than allow her to be harmed, ensuring she was protected.

She believed that no matter what danger she might face in the future, he would still instinctively shield her behind himself.

How could she bear to lose her temper with such a grandfather?

The wish that guided her rebirth was to protect them, to heal the emotional wounds she had caused them in her previous life, not to lecture them.

Chiang Xiao exhaled deeply.

But for those people of the Old Chiang Family, she couldn’t find it in herself to forgive them.

Especially Chiang Baohe, who had resorted to violence.

The look in Chiang Baohe’s eyes before he left clearly showed his desire to tear her apart. Therefore, she needed to strike first, to find an opportunity to exact her revenge.

As Chiang Xiao thought about this, she walked towards the village clinic.

It was the time when every household was preparing dinner. Siyang Village was shrouded in cooking smoke, with the calls of women herding chickens and ducks into their pens, the laughter of children, and the greetings of men returning from the fields.

The seemingly peaceful and harmonious village couldn’t cover the anger and desolation in Chiang Xiao’s heart.

Doctor Huang followed Chiang Xiao there, carrying a medicine box.

Chiang Songhai lay on the bed, his shirt lifted to reveal a back that was bright red.

Chiang Xiao didn’t allow her grandmother to come in, instead having her go to cook. Although she didn’t want to snap at her grandparents, the sight of Ge Liutao silently wiping away tears was making her chest tight with suppressed emotion.

"That was a really severe hit, fortunately it didn’t damage the spine, or paralysis would have been possible," Doctor Huang said as he packed up his things after the examination. "I don’t have any good medicine on me, you know that. With an injury like this, there’s definitely bruising, and it would be best to rub it with medicinal oil to disperse it. I heard from my old uncle that you used to soak your own Shuangzhen Medicinal Wine. Do you have any left now? That would be the best to use."

Chiang Songhai sighed deeply, "Where would I find any Shuangzhen Medicinal Wine now? That stuff isn’t easy to come by."

"I thought as much. Uncle, you can’t let this injury drag on. Otherwise, perhaps you should go to the county hospital tomorrow for a check-up. You know my medical skills, I can treat minor injuries, but I’m not equipped for serious ones."

Chiang Xiao bit her lip and asked, "Doctor Huang, is my grandfather’s injury very serious?"

Doctor Huang shook his head: "It doesn’t look like any bones were hurt, but the impact was heavy, and there’s a lot of bruising, especially on the back. We should be cautious and get an X-ray at the hospital to check for any internal damage."

Giving Chiang Xiao a look, and considering the Chiang Family’s situation, she hesitated before adding, "But the county city is far away, and treatment there is expensive. Maybe you could start by visiting the town hospital."

Her words were earnest.

Her medical skills were only enough to run a village clinic, helping villagers with minor ailments and injuries. Looking at Chiang Songhai’s back, she was somewhat uncertain; his complexion looked off, pallid with a hint of blue, and she wondered if there might be internal damage. Even if she could diagnose it, the village clinic didn’t have the necessary medication, and a hospital visit was inevitable.

Chiang Songhai hadn’t expected that the blow would be so severe.

In fact, because of Chiang Xiao’s presence, he hadn’t told the whole truth when Doctor Huang was examining him. When asked how he was feeling, he just mentioned his back was a little painful, suggesting it wasn’t a big deal; the truth was, he was in so much pain he couldn’t sit up, and he felt a dull ache in his chest, like a cough that wouldn’t come out. Right after being hit, his blood surged, and he felt a hot, metallic taste in his throat; had he not forced himself to suppress it, he most likely would have coughed up blood.

That’s why, when Chiang Xiao was arguing with the Old Chiang Family earlier, he hadn’t said a word; he simply couldn’t.
