Chapter 88

“Calling her Dr. Lu, has Shen Guixiang taken the wrong medicine today?”

“Suddenly turning into such a caring mother-in-law to Lu Jiaojiao?”

Lu Baiwei looked at her strangely.

Shen Guixiang immediately took out a large sum of money from her pocket and waved it around: “Today, I brought Jiaojiao to the health clinic to see a doctor, and I brought money to pay for the medical fees. Don’t worry about the checkup; if there’s any problem, I’ll pay for her treatment.”

“I’m not like Lu Jianguo or Liu Chunhua, heartless parents. I, Shen Guixiang, love my daughter-in-law the most.”

Meanwhile, Feng Shishi still didn’t know what kind of person Shen Guixiang was.

She chimed in from the side: “Aunt, you really love your daughter-in-law. Whoever marries your son will be blessed.”

Give me a break!

The last person who said marrying Zhao Yongshen would bring blessings was Liu Cuifang, who almost succeeded in getting those blessings.

Lu Baiwei thought, no wonder she’s the kind of person who can get tangled up with Liu Cuifang—completely clueless, getting sold by Shen Guixiang and counting the money for her.

Since she insisted on having her check Lu Jiaojiao’s belly, then fine, it was her duty as a barefoot doctor. She also wanted to see what kind of scheme Shen Guixiang was up to.

When Lu Baiwei led Lu Jiaojiao into the inner room and asked her to lift her clothes for an examination, she realized Shen Guixiang’s true intention.

At first, Lu Jiaojiao was reluctant to lift her clothes, avoiding Lu Baiwei’s gaze.

Only when Lu Baiwei spoke in an impatient tone did Lu Jiaojiao finally lift her clothes, revealing her belly.

Lu Baiwei was shocked to see the large bruises.

Tears of humiliation flowed from Lu Jiaojiao’s eyes.

“Are you satisfied now that I’ve been kicked like this?”

Lu Jiaojiao choked with sobs: “Shen Guixiang and Yin Zhihe are inhuman. They locked me in a dark room and kept kicking my belly. I was in so much pain, rolling on the ground. It lasted for half a month, and I was bleeding every day, losing so much blood.”

“When they abandoned me at the commune hospital, I secretly went to see a gynecologist. The doctor said my belly was damaged and I could never have children again.”

Lu Baiwei gasped in shock.

From her knowledge of Shen Guixiang and Yin Zhihe, she quickly guessed why they were so ruthless to Lu Jiaojiao.

Shen Guixiang wanted to make Lu Jiaojiao a “chicken that can’t lay eggs,” so that she could avoid suspicion regarding Yin Zhihe’s impotence. She wanted this infertile person to be Lu Jiaojiao, not her son Yin Zhihe.

Last time, they ruined her reputation; this time, Shen Guixiang applied the same ruthless tactics to Lu Jiaojiao.

But this time, it was even more brutal—she directly ruined Lu Jiaojiao’s womb, making it impossible for her to have children again, and then spread the rumors about her damaged reputation.

“You’ve been abused by them. You need to go to the commune and get the Women’s Federation to help you.”

Lu Jiaojiao was the younger sister brought in by Liu Chunhua, and Lu Baiwei actually didn’t want to get involved in her fate.

But as a woman, Lu Baiwei sympathized with Lu Jiaojiao.

But as a woman, Lu Baiwei sympathized with Lu Jiaojiao.

She could only bring it up to this point.

Unfortunately, Lu Jiaojiao was brainless and ungrateful.

“Lu Baiwei, it’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have married Yin Zhihe.”

“Isn’t it very satisfying for you to see me living like this?”

There was hatred in Lu Jiaojiao’s eyes: “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You want me to go to the Women’s Federation and expose what my mother-in-law and Yin Zhihe are really planning. You want me to never become a rich wife, you want to crush me at every turn.”

It’s impossible to reason with someone so damned.

She’s absolutely crazy!

Lu Baiwei didn’t want to bother with her anymore: “Do as you wish.”

“I can only guarantee that I won’t spread the news of your damaged belly.”

“You’d better not.”

Lu Jiaojiao’s eyes were full of malice: “If I go to hell, I’ll drag you down with me, and we’ll be ghosts together.”

A summer insect cannot speak of ice!

No wonder Lu Jiaojiao was scammed by someone pretending to be a truck driver in her past life.

With her mindset, she could never live a good life, no matter who she married.

Lu Baiwei had nothing more to say to her. She made her lower her clothes and led her out of the room.

Shen Guixiang was waiting in the main room. When she saw Lu Baiwei bringing Lu Jiaojiao out, she quickly stepped forward with a smug, calculating look in her eyes.

She was sure that, given the history between Lu Baiwei and Lu Jiaojiao, Lu Baiwei would definitely expose the fact that Lu Jiaojiao couldn’t get pregnant.

“Dr. Lu, is my Jiaojiao’s belly really injured?”

“She was injured, with some external bruising.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Baiwei did not go along with Shen Guixiang’s scheme.

Shen Guixiang gave her a meaningful look, but Lu Baiwei held firm to her own line.

“As for whether it’s damaged inside, I can’t determine that. This is just a small clinic; you’ll have to take her to a large hospital for further examination.”

How could Lu Baiwei help Lu Jiaojiao?

That was impossible!

Shouldn’t she be wishing for Lu Jiaojiao to die?

Not getting the answer she wanted, Shen Guixiang became angry: “What kind of doctor are you? How is it that the director from the county hospital values you, but you can’t even figure out what’s wrong with a belly?”

Shen Guixiang blamed Lu Baiwei’s medical skills, while Feng Shishi felt pleased.

Shen Guixiang blamed Lu Baiwei for her poor medical skills, and Feng Shishi was very pleased.

She added, “Aunt, don’t blame Sister Weiwei!”

“She’s not a professional doctor, just an inexperienced barefoot doctor. She’s fine for treating minor ailments, but for internal injuries, you need to go to a big hospital.”

Feng Shishi suggested, “How about you take Jiaojiao to the commune hospital for an examination?”

Shen Guixiang, unwilling, sighed, “Forget it, then let’s go to the commune hospital tomorrow.”

As soon as she heard they were going to the commune hospital for an examination, Lu Jiaojiao turned pale.

She thought Feng Shishi was really annoying.

Lu Jiaojiao glared at Feng Shishi angrily, “Why do you have to meddle?”

“I’m not going. I’m not sick.”

Fuming, Lu Jiaojiao stormed out of the village health clinic, leaving Feng Shishi confused.

Shen Guixiang, unwilling to let Lu Jiaojiao get away without paying for the medical expenses, sighed as she pretended to be a good mother-in-law: “Shishi, don’t blame my Jiaojiao. She was spoiled by her mother when she was at her parents’ house. She’s not very well-behaved.”

“Unlike you, a knowledgeable and sensible educated youth from the big city.”

Feng Shishi smiled at the compliment and nodded. “Aunt, I won’t argue with her.”

“Jiaojiao too, she doesn’t know how to appreciate such a good mother-in-law like you.”

Feng Shishi’s words were truly disgusting!

Shen Guixiang led her away from the village health clinic, and Feng Shishi even said she would come visit Lu Baiwei later. Lu Baiwei felt nauseous, retching a few times, holding back her tears until the feeling of disgust finally subsided.

Feng Shishi spoke in a sugary, irritating manner.

Was it really that bad for Weiwei to react like that?

Or was it because she had just examined Lu Jiaojiao? Did that disgust her?

Zhou Yueying looked at her with concern and moved to the table to pour her a glass of water.

“Why did you react so strongly? Drink some water to calm down.”

“It’s fine, I might have caught a cold last night.”

Now that they had moved to the new house, Ránrán and Xiao Qi had their own rooms, and the couple shared a room. He Ting was always reckless with no restraint.

Maybe she had sweated a lot at night and caught a chill.
