Chapter 41 Gender Crimes 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Gender Crimes 41The old doctor wasn’t really angry and waved his hand at Qin Yuan, "I don’t owe you that meal, so stop the sweet talk. Next time you invite me to see a patient, remember to be gentle. My old arms and legs can’t afford being mishandled by you a few more times, or they’ll really fall apart." After speaking, the old doctor ignored Qin Yuan, who continued to humor him with flattery, and picked up his medical kit to see the patients. When he reached the bedside and saw Mrs. Bai with her head covered in blood, and Qin Shuangshuang clutching Mrs. Bai’s hand, staring dumbly at her, his heart couldn’t help but sigh. Recently, he had rushed to Qin Family Village three times in a row. Although the families he visited were different every time, they were all from one family. The first visit was for the Second Lady, the second for her elder sister, the Eldest Lady, and the third for Mrs. Bai, who judging by the wound had tried to commit suicide by banging her head but survived. Feeling sorry for the unfortunate family of three, he skillfully treated Mrs. Bai’s wounds and checked her pulse. During this, Qin Shuangshuang’s gaze shifted from her mother, Mrs. Bai, to the old doctor, her eyes following him around and unnerving the old doctor somewhat! Under the pressure of Qin Shuangshuang’s stare, the old doctor carefully treated Mrs. Bai’s wounds, thoroughly examined her pulse, and after a long diagnosis, he finally hummed a sound while stroking his graying beard and said to Qin Shuangshuang, who had been staring at him, "Nothing serious, even though there’s a cut, it might just leave a scar." Upon hearing the diagnosis, the heart that Qin Shuangshuang had been holding in suspense finally relaxed. She breathed a huge sigh of relief, and suddenly, every muscle in her body which had been tensed up loosened. Her legs went weak and she was about to sit down on the floor.

Qin Shuangshuang did not sit down, though. Instead, she knelt to the ground with a thud in front of Mrs. Wang, crying as she said, "Grandma Wang, please save us, I’m begging you, this time help us think of a way to let my mother and me leave that home!" "In that home, we really can’t live anymore. We want nothing, we’ll leave empty-handed, I’ll go to the mountains to chop wood and gather mountain goods to sell and support my mother. I just want to take my mother and leave that home! Grandma Wang, please, help me!" Qin Shuangshuang wept and pleaded, looking pitiful, making Mrs. Wang and Aunt Hao both feel heartbroken. They both agreed with Qin Shuangshuang’s desire to leave. In that home, these two never had a good day, never enough to eat or wear, with endless work to do! Aunt Hao turned her head to wipe the corner of her eye and pleaded with Mrs. Wang, "Although, in principle, letting a child of a few years and an injured woman leave empty-handed is excessive..." "But let’s look at the facts. No matter how miserable Second Lady and her mother, Mrs. Bai’s situation is, it’s not worse than being in that inhuman family. Furthermore, the Second Lady is strong and very capable for her age. Though young, she has the ability to support her mother!" "When the time comes, our neighbors will support her. They can definitely live well! At least no one will bully them every day or have the beastly idea of selling the Second Lady to a brothel, or force them to work day in and day out with beating and scolding." "Don’t you see, that breaking away is truly the best day they could have? Why not come up with a solution for this child, and take advantage of this incident, to pull this mother and daughter out of that hellhole!" Aunt Hao compared the Old Qin Family to a pit of fire, showing her deep distaste for its members. Mrs. Wang already pitied Qin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Bai, and listening to Aunt Hao moved her heart. Usually, even though she’s the Clan Leader’s wife and her husband is both Clan Leader and village chief, interfering in other people’s affairs for no reason was not an option. But now was indeed a good opportunity. The Old Qin Family had caused a huge scandal and became the target of everyone’s wrath. No one would side with them, so even if she used her influence to pressure them, they could only agree. Yet, for her own reputation, Mrs. Wang wouldn’t use such a crude, forceful tactic that would leave a handle. But even without these means, it wasn’t impossible to separate them. With a little maneuvering, accomplishing this wouldn’t be difficult. Thinking of implementing some tactics, Mrs. Wang’s gaze unconsciously fell on the old doctor. She poured a glass of water and placed it in front of him, smiling widely, "Old sir, please have some water. You’ve helped the Second Lady several times before. Some things I won’t hide from you; the Second Lady and her mother have had a hard life!" Mrs. Wang sighed and then detailed the living conditions of Qin Shuangshuang and her mother Mrs. Bai to the old doctor. As expected, after Mrs. Wang finished speaking, the old doctor’s face also showed increased anger. He was a person who valued medical ethics, and even from hearing some rumors before, he already sympathized with Qin Shuangshuang. Now, having heard Qin Shuangshuang’s full story, he was shocked. In his younger days, he had traveled far and wide, priding himself on having seen all kinds of people, yet rarely had he encountered such a heartless family. The old doctor slapped the table in anger: "How can there be such vicious relatives in this world, worse than beasts, unworthy of being human! I know what you mean, tell me, how can I help!" Mrs. Wang lowered her voice with a smile and said, "This is actually very simple. When you step out later, just say that Mrs. Bai’s injuries are severe and require many expensive medicines to save her. The more money you mention, the better. Leave the rest to us." The matter was simple, and the old doctor nodded and agreed immediately. After reaching a consensus, Mrs. Wang, the old doctor, and Aunt Hao went out together. Before leaving, Mrs. Wang reassured Qin Shuangshuang to take good care of her mother, promising that once she returned, the issue of splitting the family would be settled! Qin Shuangshuang wanted to follow them outside to take a look, but she knew it would be best if she was not present for this and she couldn’t leave her mother, Mrs. Bai, alone, so she obediently nodded and stayed inside to look after her mother. The waiting time was always long, and though Qin Shuangshuang was in the house, her mind was outside. She couldn’t help but listen closely for any sounds, eagerly hoping the matter would be resolved, so she and her mother could finally escape their misery but worried that it might not work out, leaving her in vain anticipation, struggling in this quagmire without knowing when she could escape. Qin Shuangshuang’s head was mixed up like a pot of porridge, sometimes hating herself for not being strong enough, that even after coming back to life she couldn’t leave this disgusting place and had to entangle with these so-called relatives who eat people without spitting bones for so long! At one moment, she resolved that if it didn’t succeed this time, she would accept having no family or support, take her mother and run away, claiming her mother was a widow fleeing famine with her daughter, and establish a household for her mother. With her strength, Qin Shuangshuang believed that even if someone tried to bully them as a widow and orphan, she could quickly scare them off, establishing a place for her and her mother! Just as Qin Shuangshuang was stewing in anxiety and fiercely planning for the worst, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Hao finally returned!
