Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: No Regrets

Chiang Xiao hadn’t taken a close look when she smashed earlier, but now she could see clearly.

On Chiang Baohe’s right ankle was a wound the size of a small bowl, the flesh mangled and one spot so deep the bone was visible, blood gushing forth relentlessly.

She too couldn’t help but sharply inhale a breath of cold air.

At the moment, she had truly been fierce and hadn’t realized she had hit him so severely, nor had she noticed that the rock had one extremely sharp edge.

But she didn’t feel regret, sparing his life was already a mercy on her part. After all, had it not been for her good luck, she would have been beaten to death or crippled by him with that carrying pole a few days earlier.

Keeping Chiang Baohe around was to place her own family in danger, and Chiang Xiao would not be so benevolent.

The reason she gasped was merely because she was startled by such a wound. After that, not even Chiang Xiao’s complexion changed.

Her heart was as hard as stone at that moment.

It took a while for the people from the Old Chiang Family to receive the news, but eventually they all rushed over.

Ho Laidi came in a frantic haste, running the fastest. Before she even arrived, her voice could be heard.

”Baohe, oh Baohe! What happened to you? Who hit you? Tell Mom, Mom will wipe out his whole family!” Her voice was loud and as she screamed with ferocity, it made the villagers who had been gathering around Chiang Baohe instinctively step back two paces.

Who didn’t know of Ho Laidi’s fighting ability?

Better not let her recklessly blame someone.

”Mom! My foot hurts like hell!” Chiang Baohe’s face was ashen with pain at that moment, sweat pouring down; the slight drunkenness had long been driven away by the agony.

Looking at the wound on his ankle, he shivered; could such an injury ever heal?

Ho Laidi rushed over and when she saw Chiang Baohe’s wound, she let out a howl and nearly fainted.

”Who on earth did this damn thing!” Ho Laidi’s lips quivered. She wanted to help Chiang Baohe but dared not touch him, so she merely cried out loudly in panic.

Seeing her like this gave Chiang Xiao an unexpected sense of relief.

Chiang Songtao and Chiang Baoguo also arrived.

”Baoguo, quick, carry your brother on your back and go to the health clinic!” Chiang Songtao saw his spouse only knew how to wail and felt irritated. He quickly instructed Chiang Baoguo to carry Chiang Baohe to the health clinic.

A few bored and gossipy villagers followed along as well.

Only after everyone had left did Chiang Xiao emerge from Space and, after some thought, she hurriedly ran back home and locked the courtyard door.

She wasn’t afraid that Chiang Baohe would blame her.

With that woman in the painting full of mature charm, Chiang Baohe definitely would not connect this to her, and besides, he hadn’t seen her.

She simply did not want her grandparents to get involved in this commotion.

”Little, where did you go just now?” Ge Liutao asked anxiously as she returned, checking her over to make sure she was okay before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

”I felt stifled and just went for a walk, what happened?”

”Just now, someone called for your Grandpa. They said Baohe had his foot smashed by someone.” Ge Liutao was only worried that this matter was related to Chiang Xiao, and now that she saw her return safely, she was at ease.

Chiang Xiao tugged the corner of her mouth, ”With the way he is, he’s bound to have pissed off plenty of people. It would be better if he was smashed dead.”

Chiang Songhai was also sitting nearby. He heard her words, his lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing.

Huh, was Grandpa making progress?

If it had been in the past, upon hearing her say such words, he would have surely admonished her.

Maybe it was because it was he who had been smashed before and he could endure it, but today Chiang Baohe had knocked down his lifelong companion, touching Chiang Songhai’s bottom line.

Acting out is different from speaking out.

Thinking of the woman in the village who had been paralyzed for over a decade from a fall, Chiang Songhai felt a chill in his heart.

That night, Chiang Baohe was in so much pain that he howled like a ghost and a wolf all night long.
