Chapter 199: She Might Have a Crow's Mouth
Qiu Mu also knew she had been somewhat rude just now: "Yes, yes, yes, don't just leave them out there; hurry and find a place to put them away."
Hearing this, Qiu Shaofeng neatly put the items back into the bundle, opened the only cabinet in the room, and placed the bundle inside.
Only after watching the cabinet door latch shut did the three finally relax together; after all, their own second cousin's wife was always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and if she saw these things, there would surely be trouble later.
Sure enough, as soon as they had put the things away, they heard commotion outside.
Zhang Shanmei was indeed still fixated on that bundle.
Qiu Mu pulled Xia Qiu to sit down: "How is your father's leg?"
Hearing her mother-in-law's question, Xia Qiu's face was all smiles: "It's much better; now he can even walk with a cane, but my sister won't let him walk too much; after all, the leg that can walk was also injured before, and the swelling has only just gone down."
Hearing that her in-laws were fine, Qiu Mu felt relieved: "If we hadn't been tied up, we would have gone along with you; when the in-laws move into the new house, we will definitely come over to see them and get to know the new home."
Xia Qiu laughed: "When my mother left, she told me to invite you over to get to know the house when we hold the housewarming."
Zhang Shanmei had been bending over listening for a long time, not hearing what she wanted to hear, and was just getting angry in her heart when she heard behind her: "Second cousin's wife, what are you hiding here for?"
She was just looking for an excuse to bluff her way through, but as soon as she turned around, she saw the Great-Grandmother and her own husband were there too; her face was instantly full of embarrassment, but her mind was still sharp enough, and she blurted out: "I was just trying to go to the toilet, but my leg cramped up walking here, so I wanted to lean against the wall to recover; don't misunderstand."
Saying this, she straightened up and tried to leave.
Hearing her final addition, it was practically a confession without being interrogated.
It was just that she might have a crow's mouth; because she had been bending over for a long time, standing up too quickly, somehow she twisted her waist; only after she let out an "Ouch!" did she almost fall.
It was Qiu Shaohu and Qiu Tai Nai who were quick-eyed and quick-handed enough to catch her, preventing her from hitting the ground: "What's wrong with you?"
Because several people were supporting her, this made her sweat all over her head from the pain: "My waist, I twisted my waist, it hurts so much."
The commotion was so loud that it not only alerted the rest of the Qiu family, but even the neighbors who heard the noise from next door ran over: "What happened?"
Qiu Tai Nai, an old woman with bound feet, was visibly unable to hold on much longer.
It was Qiu Mu who came out of Xia Qiu's room and, being very perceptive, ran over: "Grandma, let me; you rest quickly."
The Qiu family's eldest brother's wife also stepped in then: "Hurry and carry her back to their room first."
At this point, they couldn't worry about losing face; they only thought that this troublemaker couldn't have anything happen to her; she was already seven months along, and if she fell, it would be disastrous.
But as soon as anyone moved, Zhang Shanmei screamed in pain: "Don't move me, it hurts to death."
Finally, Xia Qiu suggested: "Why not find a board first, put her on it; that would be more convenient."
Qiu Tai Nai, fearing an accident, said: "Xia Qiu is right; find a wooden board first and take her to the clinic."
The Qiu family's eldest brother's wife finally reacted: "Yes, send her to the clinic first to have the Physician take a look."
Fortunately, there were many people in the family; Qiu family eldest brother Qiu Shaojiang directly took off a door from his second brother's room: "Coming, coming, the board is coming."
Everyone placed Zhang Shanmei, who was still cursing in pain, onto the wooden board and urgently transported her to the farm's clinic.
