C48 Amputated Leg

Seeing On the Kang's sweaty Xiao Yiming, Qiu Ju quickly went to the kitchen to get a bucket of water. She took out a cloth and soaked it in water before wringing it dry to gently wipe off the sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, she saw Xiao Yiming grab her sweaty hand and clench it tightly without letting go. Qiu Ju's face lit up as she thought he had woken up. "Brother Yiming …"

"Wife, daughter-in-law, I missed you so much. Don't leave me, please come home with me, okay?" The pale mouth kept mumbling.

Qiu Ju's face darkened. She took her hand from his palm and threw the cloth into the basin.

Brother Yiming said angrily: "Brother Yiming, you are so infuriating. I have taken good care of you and you only care about Luo Mannmann. What's so good about her? Maybe that bitch wants you dead? "Hmph …" This really pisses her off. "

There were footsteps at the door. Qiu Ju guessed that Aunt Xiao had come back. She quickly collected her emotions and went up to greet her. "Doctor Chang is here. Let Brother Yiming take a look."

Doctor Chang didn't really like Qiu Ju. He put the medicine box on the table and said in a lukewarm tone, "If you don't let me, how am I supposed to check?"

Qiu Ju was a little disappointed when she said this. "About that, Aunt Xiao, I'll go back first. Otherwise, my mother will come out to look for me later."

Aunt Xiao nodded. "Thank you, Qiu Ju."

Doctor Chang touched his lower leg and saw that he had tied it up with a piece of cloth, "Fortunately, he fixed it himself, so the situation isn't too serious. I'm using a wooden board to help him clamp his leg, but it's just that he's been injured for a hundred days, so Yiming can only lie at home during this period.

Aunt Xiao rubbed her jumping eyelids and asked, "Thank you, Doctor Chang. How much is it?"

"Three taels of silver."

"Sure, Doctor Chang. It's a bit inconvenient for me today. I'll send some money to your house another day."

"Alright, then auntie will take good care of him. Come look for him again if you have any problems."

"Alright, thank you then. Doctor Chang, take care." After Aunt Xiao sent Doctor Chang out, she looked a little embarrassed. There were only a few hundred copper coins left in the family, how could they have any silver?

At this moment, she thought of the silver note that Luo Mannmann had left behind and asked, "Yiming, where is that silver note? "You give it to mom. Mom will exchange the banknotes for you."

Xiao Yiming, who had just woken up, had a stiff expression, "This is my wife's money, no one is allowed to touch it."

"Silly son, your legs are broken, and you won't be able to do any woodwork during this period of time. Without a source of income, how are we to live together?"

"This might be retribution, it might be punishment from the heavens for not keeping my wife." Xiao Yiming's mouth curved into a smile.

Aunt Xiao's expression turned awkward when she said that. This child was just too stubborn. The people or things that he had decided on would definitely not change …

The next day, Brother Liu Shan and his wife came to visit him with an old hen and half a basket of eggs.

"Aunt Xiao, we came to see Yiming. Is he feeling better?" Liu Shan asked.

Aunt Xiao frowned worriedly. Seeing that Liu Shan and his wife were visiting, she hurriedly thanked them, "It's fine. Why did you bring something here? I also have some stuff at home."

"Aunt, you have everything in your family, we can't possibly come to see Yiming empty-handed, right?" Liu Shan's Wife said.

Aunt Xiao got up and helped them carry their stools before sighing, "Is this child still mad at me? You're still blaming me for angering his wife? "He doesn't drink or take medicine, and he eats too little. If this goes on, his body will collapse."

"Is Yiming punishing himself? "Aunt Xiao, I'm not sure if I should say something. After all, this is your family matter."

"Tell me, Liu Shan."

"That Lili is not bad, and Yiming is so concerned about her, so let bygones be bygones. I heard that Lili is working at Wu Town, so I might as well apologize to her and let them reunite. That way, Yiming can get better faster." Liu Shan had a good impression of Luo Mannmann, he suggested.

"This …" Aunt Xiao had a troubled expression on her face. Her words were like spilled water, how could she take them back?

To be honest, she really liked Luo Mannmann, but her ideals were beautiful. Reality was cruel, so she couldn't get through it.

Seeing this, Liu Shan didn't say anything else and left after exchanging a few words with Xiao Yiming.

When noon arrived, Aunt Xiao walked into the house and stood by the edge of the pit, still bringing in the steaming lunch that she had just finished.

Ever since Luo Mannmann had left, he had not been eating well and had not slept well. Adding to that, he had been lying on the On the Kang with his legs blocked from moving, making him even skinnier than before.

He had a dispirited and deep face all day, like a dying old man hanging his last breath, feeling as if he could die at any moment.

"Child, eat your meal. Looking at your appearance, you are torturing Mother." Aunt Xiao secretly shed tears. She only had this son now, an orphan. If anything happened to Xiao Yiming, she wouldn't want to live anymore.

Xiao Yiming saw her crying and his heart ached. His eyes flashed with pain: "Mother, my heart is sad, my heart really hurts. I thought I finally have a wife, I can live a good life now, but I didn't expect …"

Aunt Xiao immediately choked with sobs. "Mother won't force you. If you want a wife, mother will help you find one until you're satisfied. How about this?"

Xiao Yiming turned his head away and said with a firm tone, "I only want Luo Mannmann. Mother will accept my wife. This way, it won't be good for my son to be stuck in the middle."

"You …" Aunt Xiao was furious and sighed, "Even if she has a bad reputation, you don't care if she was clean in the past? Why are you so stubborn? "

Xiao Yiming thought that Luo Mannmann might have been tainted before she escaped from the brothel, but he only felt sorry for her, not despise her. Although men care about their wives' past, he cared more about their future:

"Mom, it's not my wife's fault, I don't care. I only want my wife to come back, I don't care about anything. My wife isn't here, and I feel like my life is dark, like my heart has been hollowed out. Mother, you don't understand this feeling?"

"Child, you are truly stubborn. Mother promises to not oppose it, but …" "You should take care of your body first. Otherwise, why would you bring your wife back with your injured leg?"

When Xiao Yiming heard that Aunt Xiao was no longer against it, his mood seemed to brighten up. His mother was right, he had to recuperate as soon as possible. Otherwise, what would his wife do when she thought of him?

Thinking about this, Xiao Yiming immediately sat up, took the bowl and chopsticks, then forcefully ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Cough, cough, cough.

"Slow down, slow down." Aunt Xiao lightly patted his back, but in her heart, she had a plan. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't want to admit to Luo Mannmann. It would be best if she could get a girl to cook rice with her son.

Wu Town

The construction of the Mo Residence manor was going on passionately. Due to the boss's wages and good food, the workers were exceptionally diligent in their work.

Adding on the fact that Luo Mannmann had been running around the scene with great effort, all the workers had very high opinions of this builder. However, there was one person who was always provoking Luo Mannmann, and that person was Wang Daogu.

He opened his mouth and mocked again, "Master Luo, do you think it's appropriate to place this pillar like that?"

When she heard someone call her, Luo Mannmann naturally came over and said, "Sure, you can leave it like this."

"Hmph …" Wang Daogu chuckled. His mouth was full of ridicule. "Don't tell me Master Luomo is seeing things at such a young age? The pillar is crooked, is that okay?"

All the workers on the side cast an unusual look at Wang Daogu. They didn't understand why Wang Daogu would pick on Master Luo every single day.

Tang Er, who was secretly in love with Luo Mannmann, couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately threw away the work in his hands and ran over, pointing at Wang Daogu as he scolded:

"Brother Wang, what do you mean? Why do you look for trouble with Master Luo every two or three days?" Brother Wang, what do you mean, why do you look for trouble with Master Luo every single day?

Tang Er couldn't bear to see himself being wronged by a girl he liked. If he could marry a girl as good as Luo Mannmann and be her wife, he would have raised her at home like a treasure.

"What business do you have? What do you mean by interfering with it?" Who do you think you are? "

Wang Daogu didn't give Tang Er any face and directly scolded him.

"I just can't bear to see you bully women." As Tang Er spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and punched Wang Daogu in the face.

In the end, Wang Daogu's nose was filled with the rage of a young man. With this punch, blood immediately gushed out of his nose.

"You actually dare to hit me, I'll fight it out with you." Wang Daogu and Xiao Family had some friendship.

Xiao Yiming was lying at home with his leg broken. Luo Mannmann was acting like nothing happened, which made him angry. What was going on with this kid? He even dares to think about someone else's daughter-in-law.

"Brat, do you think I'm afraid of you? Today, I will beat you so hard that no one else can bully you."

The two of them soon started to fight. Wang Daogu, a middle-aged man, was no match for Tang Er and soon lost out.

"Stop hitting me, all of you stop." Luo Mannmann yelled at the top of her lungs, but she couldn't stop them.

"All of you, hurry up and stop. Do you all still want to work?" The foreman also tried to stop the two of them, but instead, he accidentally punched them.

"Tch." The overseer rubbed the injuries on his face and took a deep breath. What the hell were these two doing? They couldn't even stop them. They would beat whoever tried to stop them. They were crazy.

"What are you doing? It's not proper to not do anything during the day and gather people to fight. Do you even want this month's wages? "

The butler gave a majestic roar as he passed by. The two people, who had been fighting each other, finally broke apart. Both sides were panting heavily and both sides had died.

Tang Er only had a scratch on the corner of his mouth, while Wang Daogu had color hanging from his face, nose and forehead. He looked very miserable.

Noticing that everyone had their heads down and did not say a word, the butler asked again, "What happened to the two of you?"

"He's always looking for trouble with Master Luo. I can't stand him …" Tang Er was reasonable.

"This kid is too nosy, he deserves a slap." Wang Daogu was not to be outdone.
