Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Spat in Disgust

Chiang Xiao noticed the hesitation in Huang Yizhen’s eyes and her heart sank.

She realized that Chiang Songhai’s injury was more serious than she had imagined.

”Thank you, Doctor Huang, we’ll go to the town hospital tomorrow,” Chiang Xiao said and then asked, ”How much is the consultation fee, Doctor Huang?”

Huang Yizhen was a person who, although not bad, was very realistic; if you called her good, even knowing the Chiang Family was having a hard time, she would not deduct a penny from their fee.

So, after hearing Chiang Xiao’s question, she responded without changing her expression, quite naturally, ”I just charge a visitation fee, five Mao notes.”

Chiang Xiao wanted to give a bitter smile upon hearing this.

She took out the Mao notes from her pocket and gave her five Mao.

Today they had just earned a little over twenty Yuan, and now only two Mao remained.

What can you do with two Mao? It seemed they had celebrated too soon today. Moreover, how could her grandpa go back to Bai Gu Mountain after sustaining an injury?

The plan to make money by delivering mountain goods for Ma Jincai was on shaky ground.

Seeing Ge Liutao standing by the door wearing a dark blue cloth apron, appearing somewhat at a loss, Chiang Xiao’s gaze flickered and she asked Huang Yizhen, ”Doctor Huang, what would happen if it had hit me instead?”

When she had gone to ask for Huang Yizhen, Chiang Xiao had already explained the specifics, especially the action of Chiang Baohe throwing the chair, which she described in great detail.

Huang Yizhen was known for not keeping things to herself; after treating Niu Guiying, she had managed to spread details about her injury through the whole village, so Chiang Xiao intentionally wanted to use her propensity for gossip to spread the news about Chiang Baohe seriously injuring her uncle with the chair.

Chiang Songhai was always concerned about her reputation, which showed that in such a countryside, reputation was indeed very important.

She planned to deal with Chiang Baohe when the opportunity came, but before that, it was only right to add to his troubles.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yizhen couldn’t help but give her a look.

This girl from the Chiang Family was extremely pretty, not at all like a child from the countryside. Her small face was so fair, her large eyes were so bright, and her lips were as red as flowers, truly beautiful.

However, this girl was far too slender and frail; even though village kids were also thin, they grew up running around fields and mountains and doing household chores daily, which gave them a sturdy kind of thinness.

Chiang Xiao, however, was fragile and frail.

Chiang Songhai, after all, was a grown man, and the wooden chair had injured him so badly; if it had hit Chiang Xiao...

Thinking this, Huang Yizhen felt a sudden fear for her.

”Thankfully, it did not hit you!” Huang Yizhen thought it necessary to warn Chiang Xiao, ”If it had hit you, you might not have died but would surely have been left with half a life! So, from now on, you should stay away from your Second Uncle!”

As they were all villagers, they spoke openly; Huang Yizhen was not restrained by the protocols of big hospital doctors, so she said whatever was on her mind.

However, her words made both Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao’s faces change color.

”Thank you, Doctor Huang, I will try my best to stay away from my Second Uncle,” said Chiang Xiao, looking down, her voice heavy, ”But our houses are next to each other, and he can burst into our home anytime. Where can I hide? I’ll take grandpa to the town hospital tomorrow, and I don’t know if I can ask the doctor to prescribe extra medicine in case I get injured next time...”

These words twisted Chiang Songhai’s and Ge Liutao’s hearts like knives.

Huang Yizhen couldn’t help feeling pity for her and wanted to tell Chiang Songhai to protect her more, but seeing his injuries, she didn’t know what to say.

After leaving the Chiang Family, Huang Yizhen glanced at the Old Chiang Family’s house next door and spat disdainfully.

On her way back to the clinic, Huang Yizhen ran into a villager she got along well with and immediately started sharing the affairs of the two Chiang families with her.
