Chapter 157

157 Killed Someone?

In the end, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu didn’t give her the chance. She was happy, but he also felt a little regretful.

“Sigh, that’s nothing. Anyway, we don’t have much to do at home. We’ll just take it as an exercise. Otherwise, our old bones will become stiff if we don’t move.”

Aunt Liu shook her head and looked at the babies with eyes full of love.

If her son and daughter-in-law were still alive, they would probably have a house full of children and grandchildren by now.

!!

“Alright, everyone, thank Grandpa and Grandma and say goodbye. We should go back. We still have things to do.”

Mo Ruyue finally said it out loud. Even if she could keep the babies in the Liu family today, what about tomorrow or the day after?

After all, they were not a family, and they could not live in someone else’s house for the rest of their lives.

The babies cheered at first, then politely thanked the Liu couple and said goodbye. The old couple didn’t know how to appreciate them when they saw them.

Mo Ruyue took the babies home and let them study by themselves while she went to the Liu residence.

Perhaps it was because the babies were missing, the Liu family’s courtyard looked particularly deserted. The plates and bowls left over were placed on the stone table. The two elders looked dispirited and did not seem to have any intention of cleaning up.

“Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I’m back.”

Mo Ruyue greeted the Liu couple as soon as she entered the house.

“Lady Qin, why did you come back? Did you forget something?”

Aunt Liu stood up in surprise. She remembered that the babies had brought some of their own ingredients when they came over, but there was nothing else.

“No, I just wanted to help you clean up. The babies have big appetites, so it’s troublesome to clean up the dishes on this table. I’m here to help.”

“The babies are studying at home, so I didn’t ask them to come. My hands and feet are much more numb than them.”

As Mo Ruyue spoke, she had already started to roll up her sleeves and walk towards the stone table.

“Don’t be like this, Lady Qin. You’ve been tired in the city for two days and two nights. Now, you should go home and have a good rest and accompany the babies. They’re really well-behaved and miss you.”

Aunt Liu quickly came over to stop her. She didn’t expect Mo Ruyue to come back just to help with work. She really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“It’s fine. The babies have been eating here for the past few days. I’m only helping to carry the plates and wash the pots. I’m not doing much.”

Mo Ruyue said as she started to pack.

The couple saw that they couldn’t persuade her, so they just let her be, but they also joined in. In a short while, they had cleaned up the table and even washed the pots and pans.

Aunt Liu saw Mo Ruyue pick up the rag again and seemed to want to wipe the table again. This time, she wouldn’t let her and directly snatched the rag away.

“Alright, Lady Qin, we all know that you’re using this way to express your gratitude. Just now was enough. If we didn’t stop you, do you want to finish all the housework? ”

Aunt Liu’s words sounded like she was complaining, but her eyes were smiling. It was obvious that she was just saying it and wasn’t angry.

“The babies have been at our house for the past two days, so the house has become warmer. Speaking of which, we should be the ones thanking you for trusting us and entrusting the babies to us.”

“Lady Qin, we’re already very happy that you have this kind of intention.”

It was rare for Uncle Liu to say something. In fact, it was the first thing he said after seeing Mo Ruyue tonight.

“As long as you don’t mind, I’ll have the babies accompany you more often in the future. I’ll have more patients in the future, and I might even have to go out to see patients. With your help, I can leave without a worry.”

Mo Ruyue had mentioned this to the Liu couple before. After the old woman’s surgery, she also realized that her reputation could no longer be suppressed. She was afraid that her days of going out to treat patients would come soon.

“No problem. As long as you trust us, don’t worry about the babies. We’ll take good care of them!”

The Liu couple’s eyes brightened, and their faces glowed again.

The news of the old woman’s escape from danger quickly spread out, although some people still doubted whether it was fake news released by Huichun Hall. After all, if something happened to her, then the reputation of Huichun Hall would be destroyed by Mo Ruyue.

As the news spread outside for a day, the rumors also spread for a day. The strange thing was that this time, no one came out to refute the rumors. They even kept their mouths shut, which helped the growth and spread of the rumors.

Everyone felt very strange about Huichun Hall’s attitude. Could it be that they had guessed it right? The person was really gone, but Huichun Hall deliberately released false news to cover up this fact?

The people who had been demoralizing Mo Ruyue suddenly became spirited. People could be seen in the streets and alleys saying in a disdainful tone, “What bullsh*t miracle doctor! She’s already dead, right? Hmph, I knew it! How can a person not die after their intestines are cut open?”

“Just wait and see. Maybe while we’re talking here, they’re already discussing how to secretly transport the people out and bury them!”

“Hey, do you think that the man who personally sent me to the slaughter table will sue Mo Ruyue for treating human lives like grass? If he were to sue, I’d definitely support him in doing so!”

Huichun Hall seemed to have been affected by the rumors. The number of people who came for consultation today was less than half of the usual number. Even the people who came in were looking around. Obviously, they were not really here for consultation.

“Elder Tian, do you really not need to find someone to explain? This will really affect our reputation and business.”

An old doctor and Imperial Doctor Tian stood together on the second floor’s corridor, looking at the situation in the hall below and worriedly said.

Because of Mo Ruyue, Huichun Hall had received unprecedented attention, but the degree of criticism and doubt was also unprecedented.

In the past, when Huichun Hall was mentioned, everyone would give a thumbs up and say yes. But now, looking at the people who came in, whether they were deliberately looking for trouble or really wanted to see a doctor, their eyes were full of distrust of Huichun Hall.

All of this was thanks to the woman named Mo Ruyue. Unfortunately, she was not the one giving medical services today, and the person who was really at the heart of the storm was not in Huichun Hall.

“Explain what? You think people will believe you just because you said it with your mouth?”

Imperial Doctor Tian shook his head, and the gaze he used to look down at the stage had lost its usual warmth.

Although the surgery was indeed very risky, and it was normal to be doubted, it was not normal for someone to be instigating it all the time.

He had already said what he needed to say many times, but there were still people who were incited to dance with the wind, so he did not have the mood to explain again.

In any case, it was just as Mo Ruyue had said. When the truth was placed in front of them, it was the best way to slap them in the face. At that time, there was no need to explain at all.

In this way, Huichun Hall survived two days in a precarious state. On the third day, several patients who needed to stay in Huichun Hall for temporary observation because of their illness suddenly found that the old lady, who was rumored to have died on the operating table, was actually sunbathing.
