75. Chapter 75: Broken Ribs

On this body, there were scars everywhere, shocking, many of which were old injuries.

"This was all done by Zhao Wulai?!" Jiang Xiaoxiao made an unbelievable sound.

This Zhao Wulai is really not a person!!

"Yesterday Mother just asked where the wild boar meat went, and Father beat Mother..."

Chunmiao sobbed and said, "Mother was smashed in the chest by Father with a stool. After that, she kept saying it hurt, and then she fainted from the pain, and hasn't woken up until now..."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly looked at Zhao Dasao's chest. Among the purple and blue beating marks, the left chest area had already swollen, and there was subcutaneous blood stasis.

This is a broken rib!

Jiang Xiaoxiao's face sank, and she immediately said to Chunmiao: "Sister Chunmiao, your mother's situation cannot be delayed any longer. Hurry and call the doctor in the village!"

Broken ribs are not minor injuries even in modern times, let alone in ancient times where medical standards are not developed!

"But, but I have no money..." Chunmiao cried, "I begged Father for a day, but he still wouldn't take out money to find a doctor for Mother."

"Don't worry, don't worry about money." Jiang Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder and pushed her out of the house, "You hurry and call Doctor Zhou. I'll think of a way for the money."

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao's serious face, and looking at her mother who was lying on the bed unconscious, Chunmiao finally gritted her teeth and turned to run out of the courtyard. Even if there was no money, she would kneel and invite Doctor Zhou.

Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Chunmiao was only a twelve-year-old girl after all. In modern times, she would have just graduated from elementary school. When something happened at home, the only thing she could do was to desperately seek help from her own father.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly entered the room to check Zhao Dasao's situation.

Zhao Dasao was not only covered in injuries but also had a fever, her whole body was rolling hot, and young Chunya didn't know what to do, so she could only fetch water to constantly wipe her mother's body with a towel.

"Xiaoxiao sister, my mother has been sleeping since yesterday... when will she wake up... woo woo woo, will she be okay..." Chunya tried her best to hold back her crying, but her voice still carried a sob.

Her mother hadn't been beaten for the first time, but her mother, who had always been strong, fainted for the first time yesterday, which scared the two sisters.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed. She couldn't say for sure. Zhao Dasao had been brutally beaten for these years, and her whole body was full of old injuries. Plus, she had been overworked in the past few days, and her body was probably already unable to bear the burden...

She saw Zhao Dasao's lips were dry and cracked, and it seemed that she hadn't touched a drop of water for a long time, so she said to Chunya: "Sister Chunya, go and fetch a bowl of water for your mother."

Chunya hurriedly ran out of the room to the kitchen.

Jiang Xiaoxiao seized the time, put her finger to Zhao Dasao's mouth, and water seeped out from her fingertips and flowed into her mouth.

Zhao Dasao, who was unconscious, swallowed a few times unconsciously, and at least ate the water.

Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chunya also walked in with a bowl of water. Jiang Xiaoxiao took a look. It was contained in a broken porcelain bowl, and there was a little mud and sand deposited at the bottom of the bowl.

"There is no water at home. This water was still fetched by sister from the ancestral hall yesterday..." Chunya said weakly. There was not much water in the ancestral hall, and the water fetched back still carried mud and sand from the bottom of the well.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took the bowl and said: "After two days, when the ditches in the village are dug, everyone will have water to drink. Before that, let Sister Chunmiao come to my house to fetch water."

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao sister, you are so kind..." A smile finally appeared on Chunya's distressed face. She walked up and helped lift her mother's head slightly so that Jiang Xiaoxiao could feed her water.

"Sister and I also fed Mother water, but Mother was fainted, and no matter how we fed her, she couldn't drink it, wasting a lot of water..." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Xiaoxiao pry open her mother's mouth and pour half a bowl of water into it gulp by gulp.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes. Mother drank it?!

The next second, Zhao Dasao on the bed seemed to be choked, coughed twice, and then woke up leisurely.

"Chunya..."

"Mother!" Chunya hugged Zhao Dasao and cried loudly, "Woo woo, Mother, you finally woke up, you scared me to death..."

Zhao Dasao looked at her daughter's red eyes, and her eye sockets also turned red. She comforted her with a choked voice: "Chunya, be good, don't cry, your eyes are swollen..."

Chunya wiped away the tears on her face, turned her head to look at Jiang Xiaoxiao, and a smile appeared on her face: "Xiaoxiao sister, thank you, Mother woke up as soon as you came. You are really like what Li Zheng Grandpa said, a little lucky star!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth.

What little lucky star?

What is Li Zheng talking about outside?

However, she didn't expect her ability water to be so effective so quickly.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you here..." Zhao Dasao also saw Jiang Xiaoxiao standing on the side and hurriedly wanted to get up, but her body was really weak, so she fell back onto the bed.

"Auntie, your body is weak now, stop talking, rest well." Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Sister Chunmiao has already gone to find a doctor, you wait a while, she will be here soon."

"Doc, doctor?!" Zhao Dasao shook her head in a panic, "No, you can't invite a doctor, my family has no money to give to the doctor..."

While speaking, Chunmiao had already brought Doctor Zhou into the room.

"Mother, you woke up!" Seeing Zhao Dasao wake up, Chunmiao rushed up excitedly, but met her mother's eyes full of blame.

"That, that, Doctor Zhou, sorry to trouble you for a trip. I'm fine, I just fainted from fright, and now I'm fine. I'm really sorry for making you run for nothing." Saying that, Zhao Dasao pushed Chunmiao over, "Chunmiao, don't be stunned, hurry and send Doctor Zhou back."

"Mother!" Chunmiao was anxious, "You were clearly beaten fainted by Father, how can you lie to Doctor Zhou and say it was fright?"

"Chunmiao, don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Dasao scolded sternly.

Chunmiao seemed to be scolded by her mother for the first time, and her eye sockets turned red, and tears fell drop by drop.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was listening from the side, couldn't help but frown tightly.

Is Zhao Dasao afraid that her family can't afford the medicine money, so she doesn't let the doctor see her?

She simply turned her head and said directly to Doctor Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, please help Auntie Zhao see. I have money here. Auntie Zhao is very ill, and Sister Chunya said Auntie Zhao's chest hurts very much."

She didn't directly say that Zhao Dasao's ribs were broken. After all, she is a five-year-old child now. If she said it, not only would no one believe it, but it would also cause suspicion.

"Xiaoxiao..."

Zhao Dasao opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but Jiang Xiaoxiao took the lead and said: "Auntie Zhao, you don't have to worry about money. I came here this time to find Sister Chunmiao to help work at my house. My mother said that she would give Sister Chunmiao wages. After Chunmiao earns enough money, she will pay me back."

"But..." Zhao Dasao was still a little hesitant.

"Chunmiao's mother, don't be stubborn." Doctor Zhou said seriously, "I see your complexion is not very good, and your chest hurts. Is there any subcutaneous blood stasis?" ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
