641 Making Things Worse
Auntie Dong hurriedly ran forward to help. When she took a closer look, she realized that it was Li Gui’s eldest sister-in-law! Zhao Hong’s face was extremely pale at this moment. No matter how Auntie Dong shook her, there was no reaction and she did not even seem to be breathing. Auntie Dong was so frightened that she quickly took a few steps back.
Could it be that… this person is dead!
She did not do anything! This matter had nothing to do with her! How could she have encountered such a thing for no rhyme or reason!
She had only taken two steps away when she could not help herself from turning back to look at Zhao Hong. If she left Zhao Hong here alone and no one passed by, would the woman not become food for the wolves at night?
Auntie Dong walked back slowly and squatted in front of Zhao Hong nervously. She reached out with her finger to check if Zhao Hong was breathing.
The interval between each breath was longer than usual, but at least she could confirm that the woman was still alive.
She heaved a sigh of relief, but now she had a new problem. She could not move Zhao Hong on her own. Moreover, the clinic was very far from here. How could she send Zhao Hong for treatment?
“Um… wait for me here! I’ll go get someone!” Auntie Dong patted the unconscious Zhao Hong nervously, as if trying to explain her actions. She looked extremely comical.
Auntie Dong ran all the way to the village office to look for Zhao Liang. Before Zhao Liang could open his mouth, she grabbed him and pulled him along.
“Where are you taking me!” Zhao Liang asked curiously as he ran next to her.
“To save someone! Li Gui’s eldest sister-in-law has fainted at the village entrance! I can’t do anything by myself!” Auntie Dong said in a panic.
Zhao Liang hurriedly called the villagers nearby to go with him to the village entrance to carry Zhao Hong to the clinic, while Auntie Dong went to Li Gui’s house to inform her.
“Li Gui! Sister! Come out quickly! Your eldest sister-in-law is going to die!” Auntie Dong hurriedly ran to Li Gui’s house and shouted.
Li Gui walked out of the house in confusion and asked, “What eldest sister-in-law? When did I have a eldest sister-in-law?”
“The one from your maternal family! Your eldest sister-in-law! Come with me quickly! Come with me to save her!” Auntie Dong said.
Li Gui did not even have time to instruct Zhang Wei to take care of his younger siblings. She threw down her apron and followed Auntie Dong.
It was only when she reached the clinic that she realized it was Zhao Hong. Why would Zhao Hong suddenly come here?
“Who’s the patient’s family members?” the doctor asked.
Li Gui quickly stood in front of the crowd and said, “Me. Doctor, how is she? Is it serious?”
“She has many bruises and old injuries on her body. The reason why she fainted is because she’s weak and had not eaten or drank anything. She’ll be fine after going home and taking a good rest, but she will need a long time to recover from her injuries,” the doctor said expressionlessly.
Li Gui silently noted down what the doctor said and carried Zhao Hong back to her house with Zhao Liang’s help. She already needed to take care of Zhang Miao. It was ridiculous that now there was another person she needed to look after.
This was simply making things worse!
Her life had become even more difficult!
“Mom, who is this auntie?” Zhang Qin asked as she pointed at the unconscious Zhao Hong.
Li Gui thought for a moment and said, “You should call her Eldest Aunt-in-law. This is Mom’s elder brother’s wife. Do you understand?”
Zhang Qin nodded as if she vaguely understood. Zhang Wei stood at the door silently and observed everything. He knew very well that this person was from his grandmother’s house and definitely did not have any good intentions!
Everyone in that family was bad!
Zhang Wei hurriedly ran to inform Qiao Mei. However, when he reached Qiao Mei’s house, he started to hesitate.
Qiao Mei was only his half-sister. It was not good for him to trouble her again and again over trivial matters at home.
Furthermore, his elder sister was pregnant. His brother-in-law had told him not to let his sister work too hard. As a man, he should take the initiative to bear the responsibility.
Zhang Wei stared blankly at the door for a long time. In the end, he decided not to tell Qiao Mei about this matter.
“Xiao Wei! Why are you standing at the door and not coming in!” Qiao Qiang shouted as he craned his neck.
Qiao Mei then realized that Zhang Wei was at the door. She walked to his side and asked, “What’s wrong? Why don’t you come in when you’re already at the door?”
Zhang Wei instantly burst into tears. He did not want Qiao Mei to know about the struggle that was going on in his heart, so he looked down and tried to escape.
Qiao Mei quickly held Zhang Wei down. Her strength was like a huge rock pressing down on Zhang Wei’s shoulder. Even Xia Zhe could not get away from Qiao Mei’s ridiculous strength, let alone Zhang Wei.
“What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Are you hungry?” Qiao Mei asked gently.
