The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chu Man turned her gaze and said, “I came to play with the child you picked up, why are you being so hostile?”

Nanny Chun said coldly: “Our Baobao and you are not of the same kind,

Dacheng’s wife, you should just go back.”

This new daughter-in-law is not here to play with her daughter, she’s likely coveting the daughter’s silver lock.

Chu Man pouted, blatantly acting careless, “But I want to play with her.”

Yingbao emerged from the house and stood beside her mom, looking at Chu

Man as if she were an idiot: “First sister-in-law, how old are you this year?” Chu Man: “I’m sixteen, kid, do you want to go out and play with me?”

“Turns out you’re already sixteen. I thought you were only two.” Yingbao ridiculed without any mercy: “I don’t want to play with a two-year-old retard.”

“You!” Chu Man was furious when she heard Yingbao’s mockery. She disregarded everything and rushed at Yingbao, “You bastard, dare to scold me?

I’ll kill you!”

Nanny Chun became enraged, she picked up a bamboo broom to strike, “Get out!”

Even though this Chu Man was the new bride, Nanny Chun did not want to indulge her any further.

Such an arrogant and rude person who dares to come to her house looking for trouble really has guts—today, even if the heavens had come down, she would not forgive her.

Chu Man was not really a fool, seeing Nanny Chun raising the broom to hit her, she got scared and turned to run, running all the way out of the yard.

Nanny Chun wielded the broom at the doorway, pointed at the idiot and yelled, “If you dare set foot in my house again, I’ll make you pay!”

When Sister-in-law Jiang and Dani Erni heard the noise, they came out. Not knowing what had happened, but knowing that Nanny Chun would not beat or scold someone without cause, they looked at the new bride.

Chu Man sat on the ground, kicked her legs, twisted her body, and started crying, “Mother! The Jiang Family is bullying me! I want to go home!

Woo-woo-wa-wa …”

Unfortunately, no matter how she cried out, no one came to comfort her.

Sister-in-law Jiang and Nanny Chun exchanged a look, then each turned around and returned home, ignoring the new daughter-in-law who was still throwing tantrums and crying.

Dani didn’t go back but ran to Second Uncle’s house, and pulled Erni, who was watching the excitement at the door, into the yard, closed the door, and said in a low voice: “Don’t look at her. The more we look at her the more energetic she gets. Humph! Last night she even smashed my older brother’s head.” “What? She smashed Dacheng’s head?” Erni was surprised.

No wonder she hadn’t seen her first cousin since morning. It was also no wonder that her third aunt was so rude to the new daughter-in-law.

“Indeed.” Dani said indignantly: “I just found out.”

She and Erni had slept in Yingbao’s room last night and had breakfast in Nanny Chun’s house this morning, so they had no idea that the new sister-in-law had done such a thing.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have bothered doing her hair. What a piece of crap.

Her older brother was still lying on the kang and couldn’t get up. Even turning over made him feel dizzy.

“How bad is the injury? Is it serious?”

“Pretty serious. Second Brother went to the town to invite Doctor Li early in the morning.” Dani said in sorrow: “Mom said Big Brother lost a lot of blood, his face turned pale at the time.”

“What a poisonous woman!” Erni couldn’t help but curse.

“Why on earth would she hit Dacheng?”

“No idea. Just look at her arrogant demeanor, she definitely caused trouble on purpose by smashing Big Brother.” Dani was thoroughly disgusted by the new sister-in-law.

Such a charming person who does not seem at all to have screws loose in the head, why would she be this way?

Chu Man outside saw that no one was paying attention to her, and quickly quieted down.

She rushed straight back home, darting through the rooms in search of someone.

Kicking open the door to one of the side rooms, she saw a young boy lying on the heated brick bed. Immediately, she lunged at him and began tearing at him, “Get up! Your family has been bullying me. What are you playing dead for!”

Jiang Cheng’s head was spinning, and being torn at like this, his vision went black, and he suddenly fainted.

Jiang Zhou, who had hurried over from the kitchen, saw this scene as soon as she entered the room. She was terrified. Lurching forward, she fiercely pulled Chu Man away from her son and pinched his philtrum desperately while shouting, “Dacheng! Dacheng, wake up!”

Chu Man was pushed to the ground, and it took her a while to react. She burst into tears and wailed, “Mother! The Jiang Family are all bad people! They’re all bullying me. I want to go home! I want to go home!”

The shriek was so piercing, it could have shaken the roof.

Jiang Zhou suddenly turned around, took two steps toward Chu Man, and slapped her fiercely, “Get out now! The Jiang Family can’t afford a daughter-in-law like you!”

Chu Man was shocked and stunned by the slap, totally forgetting to cry out. This was the first time she had truly been slapped like this, and she began to feel fear.

Especially when she saw the furious expression on her mother-in-law, her fear intensified.

Chu Man crawled up from the ground, quickly ran back to her bridal room, and slammed the door shut. She then burrowed under the bed covers, too scared to stick her head out again.

Not long after, Jiang Quan brought the doctor in a mule cart.

“Mother, the doctor is here.” Not seeing anyone in the yard, Jiang Quan called out loudly, “Mother! Where are you?”

Jiang Zhou came out from the room and wiped away her tears, “Quick, let the doctor in. Your eldest brother fell unconscious, but I’ve just brought him around.”

The doctor, carrying his medicine chest, entered the room and saw a pale-faced teenager lying on the heated brick bed. The boy’s eyes were swollen and bruised, and his head was bandaged with a white cloth, exhibiting several spots of blood.

“How did he get hurt?” The doctor put down his medicine chest on the table, sat down on a chair next to the heated bed, and began to take the young boy’s pulse.

Jiang Zhou replied, “He got hit by a porcelain pillow. He was bleeding a lot. We had applied some herbal medicine last night, and the bleeding has stopped. But he keeps complaining about his head, and this morning when we tried to feed him some noodles, he vomited after only eating a few mouthfuls.”

The doctor furrowed his brow, tested the boy’s neck, found he had no fever, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“He has suffered a head injury with probable internal bleeding. You have to be careful and avoid letting him do any strenuous activities.”

He lifted Jiang Cheng’s eyelid and saw blood clots under it. He couldn’t help but sigh, “The boy is quite seriously injured.”

Thinking of the scene she saw yesterday, Zhou felt heartbreak and nodded, “Yes, he is severely injured.”

That damned Chu Man, how much force did she use? Did she want to kill him?

The doctor walked over to the table, opened up his medicine box, “I’ll prescribe some medicine first. Let him take it for a while and we’ll see how it goes.” Suddenly, he remembered how Jiang Sanlang had also suffered a head injury and seemed to have healed rather quickly.

Turning to look at Jiang Zhou, he decided to write down the same prescription he gave to Jiang Sanlang.

It was strange indeed how the Jiang family, despite having access to good medicine and recipes, preferred using common herbal soup.

After writing the prescription, the doctor gave a few more instructions before asking, “Where are the other Jiangs?”

Jiang Zhou replied, “They went to the old house.”

Ever since Dacheng suffered a head injury last night and the new daughter-in-law didn’t come out of her room this morning ignoring the knocks on her door, the Jiang patriarch and Jiang Liu decided to return to the old house with a group of relatives. Out of sight, out of mind. This way, they wouldn’t have to deal with the new daughter-in-law causing more trouble, embarrassing them in front of relatives who traveled from afar.

Jiang Dalang and his two brothers naturally had to accompany them back to the old house.

Moreover, a few banquet tables were to be set up at the old house by noon to thank the villagers who had helped yesterday. Thus, only Jiang Dasi and Chunniang stayed behind at the new house to keep watch over the new daughter-in-law..
