Chapter 375: Hua Nier
Even if Sister-in-law Miao treated the children and the family badly, the Kind Doctor was still very friendly to her. However, sometimes, he could not tolerate it and would argue with her over this. Apart from that, he usually did not scold her.
Men like Kind Doctors were rare in the Shang dynasty. How many men did not scold their wives at all?
It was only because of the Kind Doctor’s temper that he could tolerate that Madam Miao at home.
Everyone in the alley sighed. In the beginning, they heard all kinds of scoldings and cries from the Kind Doctor’s house. They did not know what was going on, but as time passed, they learned everything.
Now, they heard Madam Miao cursing the two children. Oh, her words and tone were as if she was facing her enemies.
Sigh, it was also a sin. As a mother, she had to take care of the children. If she treated the children so harshly and vented her anger on them, that Madam Miao was really…
The boy was carried down from the tree. After Sister-in-law Miao scolded him viciously, she turned around and went back into the house to continue serving porridge.
That night, in the quiet Yuan City, the Kind Doctor had just stood up and was about to leave the stall when a desperate and panicked voice cut through the main street.
“Kind Doctor! Kind Doctor!”
“Save our child. Her leg is going to break!”
“Kind Doctor, help!”
Many shop owners and citizens who had not fallen asleep were shocked by this cry. They turned around and looked in surprise. The streets were back to normal and there were even shops that had lights on.
A group of farmers wearing rough clothes carried a small figure covered in blood and ran over in a hurry.
“Make way. Kind Doctor, someone’s going to die!”
The Kind Doctor, who was about to leave, was called back by the panicked people. He immediately lowered his body anxiously to look at the injured child on the ground.
“What happened?” the Kind Doctor asked.
One of the tall and strong men stood up and told the truth with a worried expression. “Her name is Hua Nier. She’s the daughter of a widow in the village. That widow only gave birth to a daughter and was treated poorly by her in-laws. She took her anger out on Hua Nier and didn’t even treat her as human. When things didn’t go her way, she even insulted her. It was already completely dark tonight. That widow deliberately asked Hua Nier to go into the forest to pick wild vegetables.”
“Hua Nier couldn’t see clearly. She was caught in a beast trap in the forest and almost broke her leg on the spot! When we found her and realized that she was very seriously injured, we immediately brought her into the city to find the Kind Doctors. Kind Doctor, you have to save Hua Nier…”
“Hua Nier has a tough life. She has been tortured since the day she was born. She doesn’t eat or sleep well. If her leg breaks…”
Farmers were simple-minded when there were many people. They could not stand to see people like Hua Nier suffer. However, the most bitter thing was that most farmers were leading difficult lives. They really did not have the strength to save Hua Nier. At most, they would give her more sweet potatoes and taro to eat. No one could do anything about it…
However, seeing that Hua Nier was seriously injured, everyone had to help. Hence, a group of farmers had rushed out.
The Kind Doctor’s eyes darkened. Hua Nier’s situation reminded him of his own children.
Therefore, the Kind Doctor would definitely do his best to save this girl. However, it was indeed very late now…
The Kind Doctor’s eyes darkened again. He looked at the sky and said to the tall and strong man, “Please go to my house and tell my wife that it’s already too late tonight, so I won’t be going back.”
