Chapter 248 They sent letters The doctor's medical skills were quite good, besides her broken leg, Mu Yuxi 's other wounds were superficial and didn't cause any more trouble. With several people holding her down the process was dealt with swiftly. Of course, Mu Yuxi didn't feel like the process was being dealt that swiftly. She continued to scream and howl like she was being butchered all the time she was being held down.
The pain! The excruciating pain was too much for her to bear.
Everyone who was standing outside the Mu house to watch the show could understand her screaming while the broken leg was being dealt with but they couldn't understand why she was screaming throughout the process, it was as if they weren't watching a doctor dealing with a patient's injury but a butcher dealing with its prey. The screaming was hair raising!
Those who came to watch the show couldn't help but shake their heads.
"it's too much, the last time my mother broke her leg while working in the fields we asked the doctor to set her bone, even she didn't scream this much and she is in her seventies!"
" Exactly, look at her still screaming… even I didn't scream this loudly when I was giving birth and everyone knows how it feels. Tsk, tsk a big woman like her screaming like his …"
Mu Yuxi, however, couldn't pay attention to what the villagers were talking about her after all she was pampered by her daddy and because of her good background, she hardly worked in the fields. When she hasn't even suffered through any physical labour of course she would feel like she was being tortured to the extreme.
" Ah..ah .. daddy .. stop this doctor or I am going to die just from the pain. It hurts so much.."
Daddy Mu's heart was aching after watching his daughter scream like this but she couldn't do anything under his wife's glare that was warning him not to say a word to the doctor, angry and upset, he could only stay silent. Thus, when he heard that these villagers were talking about his daughter like that and didn't even feel a bit of guilt after listening to her heartrending words, he was infuriated.
" What nonsense are you spouting huh? It's my daughter who was beaten for absolutely no reason, not you. Of course, you will think that it's not a painful thing. Her leg was broken by that malicious bastard, her leg! You hear me! How will it not hurt?"
" my poor Yuxi is suffering so much yet you are passing around such sarcastic remarks what do you know? And you! What's the big deal about giving birth every mer gives birth, I have given birth too, a mer's body is apt to deal with that kind of pain but what about my Yuxi?Is her body apt to get her leg broken? No, right! You all grew up suffering but my Yuxi is different I raised her like a princess! So watch what you say or one day Karma will hit you and your leg will be broken too!"
The villagers' expressions turned ugly when they heard Daddy Mu's irritable words. What kind of person was this? Cursing them to get sick? Can they even afford to get sick?
Even an ordinary sickness can cause death but this old man was actually cursing them to fall sick and break their legs? Were they the ones who asked Mu Yuxi to get entangled with those people of questionable backgrounds? so why was he cursing them?
Just as an argument was on the verge of breaking out, Mu Xuan immediately shouted, " what are you saying? Is this what you should be saying as the husband of the village head? Don't forget that we are responsible for the people living in the village, and we are all living in the same village as one big family. We need to be united and treat each other with goodwill. If you can't do anything here at least go and fetch some taels from the locker, I need to pay the doctor her fees."
Then she turned around to look at the villagers who were crowding around the room. " Yuxi is alright now, you don't need to worry about her. Thank you for coming here and checking up on her."
Everyone to listened to Mu Xuan even though after the incident with Yu Dong, the villagers' trust in Mu Xuan wavered a little, she was still the village head. Since she has more or less dismissed them, everyone just pursed their lips and left.
The doctor who treated Mu Yuxi had no intention of staying either, she too packed her things and left after taking the money from Mu Xuan.
Mu Yuxi watched as everyone left one by one then she turned to glance at her mother and suddenly said, " Mother, look at the crowd everyone from the town came to see me only Yu Dong and her family didn't come to check up on me. Isn't it because she is feeling guilty? She was the one who attacked me last night! Why don't you believe me? She was really the one who blindsided me and took advantage of the dead of the night!"
Mu Xuan was really infuriated upon hearing that her daughter was still harping about Yu Dong but in the end, Mu Yuxi was her daughter and she couldn't act too hardhearted. She sighed and took a deep breath to calm herself down before looking at Mu Yuxi, " I heard from Chu Chang that you went to town yesterday? Didn't you say that you had a business meeting with a client then how come I heard that you met with someone there?"
When Mu Xuan questioned her about this so suddenly, she lost the momentum for a while but that was only for a second before she put on a confident smile and answered, " Mother? What are you talking about?
Mu Yuxi sighed and coldly looked at her, " Chang's sisters sent a letter yesterday, you didn't know about it right?"
