Chapter 21: Obsessive Love, Unrivaled Wife Protection

More than half the village’s workforce was in the fields and heard everything.

What use was it for Mu Fengzhen to chase after them?

She couldn’t beat Su Tang in public, so she could only defend herself: “It’s not true, don’t listen to the third daughter-in-law’s nonsense…”

“Second brother, second brother, second sister-in-law is lying on the ground, where are you?” Su Tang, breathless from running, looked very anxious.

Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu hurriedly packed up their tools and walked back.

That was a daughter-in-law they’d spent a lot of money to marry! If something happened, the money would be wasted!

That eldest daughter was really something, she had no sense of proportion. Does medical treatment not cost money?

If she caused a death, she’d be a convict!

Su Tang scanned the field for a long time, but couldn’t see Mu Jingyun, so she called out to her husband: “Mu Jingzhou, come out!”

“They didn’t go to the fields today.” The team leader, Gao Ming, quickly came over and asked: “Third daughter-in-law, what happened?”

“I, I don’t know. I heard a noise from the second sister-in-law’s room, and when I went to look, the eldest sister-in-law had knocked the second sister-in-law to the ground. Now the second sister-in-law is lying on the ground saying she can’t get up, she’s dizzy and nauseous…”

Every word Su Tang said was true, but together they sounded a little off.

Mu Fengzhen couldn’t defend herself, she could only stomp her foot: “She’s faking it! I didn’t use that much force? She hit me too! The bump on my forehead is from her!”

Gao Ming took a look, and Mu Fengzhen did indeed have a large bump on her forehead.

Between her daughter-in-law and daughter, Old Lady Mu naturally protected her daughter, loudly asking Su Tang: “How did your second sister-in-law hit your eldest sister?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t see it,” Su Tang said.

Yu Miaomiao was thin and tall, and looked weak. While Mu Fengzhen was strong and broad-shouldered, how could she possibly lose to Mu Fengzhen?

She must be lying!

“Mom, it hurts,” Mu Fengzhen said aggrievedly.

Everyone: yue~ You, a thirty-year-old bear who’s beaten everyone in the village, have the nerve to act cute and say it hurts?

“Second daughter-in-law, don’t worry. Come on, I’ll go with you to take a look.” Gao Ming, more than anyone, feared a death in the village, and immediately called two strong women to follow him to the Mu family’s home.

Su Tang asked strangely: “Where’s my second brother? Where’s my husband?”

Gao Ming stumbled slightly, saying: “They didn’t work this afternoon.”

“Where did they go then?”

“I don’t know!”

Mu Jingyuan knew that the two brothers had gone hunting, but he couldn’t say. He also carried his hoe and hurried home.

Yu Miaomiao was still lying on the ground, remaining silent no matter what Li Lan said or persuaded.

Li Lan was helpless and could only wait for her family to return.

Finally, Su Tang arrived with others.

Seeing this scene, Old Lady Mu was also alarmed: “What happened? Second daughter-in-law, where does it hurt?”

“My head hurts, my feet hurt, and I’m nauseous and weak…” Yu Miaomiao, a professional actress, answered weakly with a pale face.

“It wasn’t this serious when I left…” Mu Fengzhen said softly.

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Old Lady Mu’s roar: “Shut up! Why aren’t you staying at home, running back to cause trouble?”

“Dad, I only heard from the youngest sister-in-law that she was lazy and didn’t work, so I wanted to teach her a lesson…”

“We, as in-laws, haven’t said anything, how is it your turn?” Old Man Mu roared, “Captain, please borrow the village’s ox cart to send the second daughter-in-law to the health center to see a doctor.”

“Okay.”

Gao Ming immediately arranged it.

Soon, Yu Miaomiao was carried onto the ox cart by two women, with Su Tang sitting beside her.

Except for Mu Fengzhen and the pregnant Li Lan, the whole family rushed to the town’s health center.

Mu Fengzhen had nowhere to vent her anger, so she took it out on Li Lan: “It’s all your fault, why didn’t you make it clear?”

“Eldest sister, I said it behind you, you didn’t hear me…” Li Lan nervously smiled.

She hadn’t actually said anything, but she understood her hot-tempered eldest sister-in-law.

As long as she stated several times that she had spoken, the eldest sister-in-law would doubt herself.

Mu Fengzhen glared at her, recalling before the fight.

It seemed, as if, there was a voice behind her, saying something she didn’t hear clearly…

“Forget it, I’ll go home first.”

Before leaving, Mu Fengzhen habitually went to the kitchen for a stroll, and her eyes lit up when she saw the slaughtered rabbit.

“Where did the rabbit come from?”

“The second daughter-in-law hunted it.”

Mu Fengzhen shrunk her hand shamefacedly.

She had just sent the second daughter-in-law to the hospital, and if she took the rabbit, the second son would skin her alive!

She should hurry and slip away before the second son returned!

…

The town health center wasn’t far, the ox cart only took about twenty minutes!

However, it was so simple!

Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao were relieved seeing the poorly equipped health center.

They could control the outcome as the real situation couldn’t be checked.

The doctor felt her pulse and found nothing, but the patient’s condition did seem like she was ill.

Therefore, he cautiously proposed two treatment options: one was to receive an intravenous drip and rest at the health center to see if there was any improvement; the other was to go to the county hospital for an X-ray.

When Old Lady Mu heard about the X-ray, she decisively chose the first option: “Let’s give her an IV first!”

In those days, the town health center generally gave intramuscular injections for common illnesses, and intravenous drips for serious ones.

Looking at the thick syringe and needle, Yu Miaomiao regretted it. How painful it would be to be pricked with such a thick needle? She quickly winked at Su Tang.

Su Tang understood and said: “Doctor, what kind of fluid is the IV?”

“Nutrients.”

“Nutrients can’t treat the problem specifically, it’s better to prescribe some Chinese medicine! I heard that Gastrodia elata can treat dizziness, right?” Su Tang said.

“Yes, Gastrodia elata treats headaches and dizziness. Buy two, grind them into powder, and steam them with meat or eggs, but it’s not cheap.”

When Old Lady Mu heard that it was more expensive than an IV, she was unhappy: “Let’s just do the IV…”

“Prescribe Gastrodia elata!”

At that moment, Mu Jingyun arrived. Unlike his usual smiling self, he had a gloomy and murderous look on his face.

Mu Jingzhou followed behind him, his face dark.

The moment the two brothers with their strong murderous aura appeared, the air seemed to freeze.

“Second brother, let me tell you, second sister-in-law was beaten badly by the eldest sister-in-law today…”

Su Tang chattered away, reporting the matter very quickly.

Old Lady Mu pulled her: “Say less, isn’t it chaotic enough?”

“Mom, she wasn’t lying,” Mu Jingzhou said in a deep voice.

They had all heard from the villagers about the whole incident. The eldest sister was angry at her sister-in-law’s laziness and started a fight. The second sister-in-law was unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire.

Otherwise, his wife would be lying there now!

“Third son!” Old Lady Mu roared, “Family scandals should not be publicized, can’t you be sensible?”

“It’s the eldest sister who’s not sensible. She’s thirty years old, and she has no sense of proportion. Would she dare to be so arrogant in her husband’s family? It’s all because of her mother spoiling her.” Mu Jingzhou spoke unusually much, every word resounding.

Old Lady Mu was stunned.

When she came to her senses, Mu Jingyun was carrying Yu Miaomiao out of the hospital, and Su Tang was holding two pieces of dried Gastrodia elata.

“How much did this cost?” Old Lady Mu exclaimed.

“As long as it’s effective! Money doesn’t matter!”

Mu Jingyun’s face was gloomy as he carried Yu Miaomiao onto the ox cart, carefully tucking her in. Afraid she would feel the sun or be embarrassed, he thoughtfully put up an umbrella.

It was like taking care of a pregnant woman leaving the hospital.

Su Tang thought, obsessive love isn’t so bad, as long as it doesn’t turn dark, all the love is given to Yu Miaomiao!
