Chapter 19 The Sin of Gender 19

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 The Sin of Gender 19It turned out that Aunt Hao’s son, Qin Yuan, had brought the doctor over. Qin Yuan was indeed very clever; he specially hired an ox cart to fetch the doctor, which is why he arrived so quickly! The doctor was an old man with a gray and white goatee. Qin Yuan hurriedly helped him out of the ox cart and almost dragged him to Qin Shuangshuang to diagnose her. Although it was just a short distance, the old doctor couldn’t help but take a couple of breaths. Seeing Qin Shuangshuang’s miserable state, he didn’t criticize Qin Yuan’s rudeness and directly went up to check Qin Shuangshuang, who was in Mrs. Bai’s arms. Everyone held their breath watching the doctor’s actions, all eager to know Qin Shuangshuang’s condition. The old doctor carefully examined her, stroked his beard, and looked at the crowd full of concern. He was slightly surprised at Qin Shuangshuang’s good reputation! It’s truly rare for a little child to have such a good reputation. The old doctor knew some things about Qin Shuangshuang. He was quite famous, invited by people within ten miles to see patients, and knew most things occurring within those ten miles. The fact that in Qin Family Village there was a child born with extraordinary strength was very famous, and more famous was Qin Shuangshuang’s grandmother, who was extremely biased in favoring boys over girls, tormenting her honest daughter-in-law and granddaughter to an unbearable extent. The old doctor coughed and opened his mouth in the urgent gazes of the onlookers: "The child is quite seriously injured, almost beyond saving. Fortunately, the vital areas haven’t been truly harmed, but with so much blood loss, her body will definitely be weak for a while. She needs to recuperate well and eat well to nourish her body! Now let’s prepare a clean place to treat the wounds of this child and prescribe some medicine." Upon hearing this, everyone immediately surrounded the doctor and Qin Shuangshuang, Mrs. Bai, and made their way directly to Aunt Hao’s main house next door! Everyone left in a hurry, and no one thought to inquire about the opinion of Qin Shuangshuang’s grandfather, Mr. Qin, making him quite embarrassed, yet he couldn’t be upset and had to follow everyone to Aunt Hao’s house. In an instant, the previously bustling yard became suddenly deserted. While everyone was busy watching the doctor treat Qin Shuangshuang, Little Chen sneaked to the back and helped the old Chen, who was paralyzed on the ground, to her feet. Little Chen didn’t dare to take Old Chen in front of Mr. Qin but instead sneaked to hide in a corner of the wall. Old Chen, with her hair disheveled, stood with Little Chen by the wall corner, her mouth drooping and silent, but her eyes constantly gloomily staring at the life-or-death Qin Shuangshuang in Mrs. Bai’s arms, thinking about something unknown! Previously, Eldest Lady had been frightened unconscious by Old Chen. Later, when a group of villagers came to the yard, someone pinched Eldest Lady’s philtrum, waking her up. After waking, Eldest Lady took the sobbing Si Lang and Wulang to the corner by the wall. The three children trembled in fear, and no one came to comfort them, so they huddled against the wall, watching the noisy scene in the yard. Little Chen, as soon as she returned, was only concerned with Old Chen and didn’t even glance at how her daughter Eldest Lady was doing. Little Chen’s two sons, Da Lang and Third Lang, kept following Mr. Qin. Because they were juniors, they weren’t allowed to speak when elders talked, so they were like invisible people, unnoticed by anyone. It was Mrs. Fang who worried about her two sons, Si Lang and Wulang. She brought her eldest son, Second Lang, to fetch Si Lang and Wulang and, by chance, also took Eldest Lady to be with them, squeezing them all into the wall corner with Little Chen and Old Chen. Now with everyone having gone to Aunt Hao’s courtyard, only Little Chen supporting Old Chen, Mrs. Fang, Eldest Lady, Si Lang, and Wulang remained in their own courtyard. Da Lang, Second Lang, and Third Lang went with Mr. Qin to Aunt Hao’s courtyard. Old Chen had a gloomy face, not saying a word for a long time. Little Chen wanted to ask what had happened, but seeing Old Chen’s attitude, she didn’t dare to speak, fearing she might bring bad luck upon herself. Mrs. Fang hugged Si Lang and Wulang, inching away carefully from Old Chen. To be honest, Mrs. Fang was really quite afraid of Old Chen at this moment! When she first entered the house, Mrs. Fang was frightened at seeing Qin Shuangshuang’s miserable state. Although the doctor said Qin Shuangshuang was not dead, that was purely due to her luck. In Mrs. Fang’s heart, Old Chen was aiming to kill Qin Shuangshuang; she was nothing less than a murderer! Usually, people talk about murderers without much feeling, at most sighing a couple of times, but when a murderer genuinely appears beside you, constantly worrying whether they’ll suddenly become displeased and attack brings immense pressure and fear. It’s difficult to endure! Si Lang and Wulang clung closely to their mother, their emotions calming because of her presence. However, Eldest Lady was left pitifully alone, wanting to go to her mother, Little Chen, but Little Chen stayed close to Old Chen. Eldest Lady was extremely afraid of Old Chen, hesitating but not daring to approach, she could only stand pitifully by the wall. Still, Si Lang and Wulang, having experienced Eldest Lady’s care for them as their little cousins, had heartfelt feelings for Eldest Lady. Now noticing her fear, they took the initiative to bring her to their side, hiding behind Mrs. Fang. In this family, Mrs. Fang was the only one who wasn’t very anti-girl, naturally because she had three sons to rely on and was full of confidence. Seeing Eldest Lady’s pitiful situation, she didn’t say anything and even took the initiative to embrace Eldest Lady closer. Eldest Lady was both surprised and moved, her eyes reddening instantly, which made Mrs. Fang feel uneasy, thinking Little Chen was somewhat unreasonable. Comparing how Mrs. Bai treated Second Lady with how Little Chen treated Eldest Lady, she was not even on par with a stepmother. As expected, she was Old Chen’s niece; it’s true, they say nieces take after aunts. This favoritism towards boys over girls was truly apparent. While the courtyard here was silent, Aunt Hao’s courtyard was busy and chaotic, with the old doctor stopping the bleeding and bandaging Qin Shuangshuang and prescribing a nourishing prescription. Fortunately, Qin Yuan had already informed the old doctor of Qin Shuangshuang’s injury when asking him to come. The old doctor came prepared with the necessary medicines, mostly nourishing herbs, and generously prescribed a month’s supply. In front of so many people, Mr. Qin, despite his heartache, could only hold his nose and let Mr. Qin fetch the keys to take silver from home to pay the medical fees!

After all this hustle, Qin Shuangshuang was exhausted, though her wound wasn’t deep, she had lost quite a bit of blood. Now, with the wound bandaged and medicine taken, she dozed off, giving the village chief a chance to handle Old Chen’s matter!
