Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 108 Strangle her with a rope

Zhang Changyao glanced back at the direction of Zhang Shuhua and Yang Wuni.

Shouting at the top of his lungs, he called out to Hu Xiao, who was standing there in a daze, to come and help him find the rope.

"Oh! Right away... right away..." Hu Xiao came to her senses and jumped to the ground to find the rope.

In the midst of the panic, Hu Xiao had no idea where to find a rope.

Upon seeing the willow branches on the ground, he immediately came up with a solution.

Pick up a few thin willow twigs, hold them in your hand and twirl them up and down, and in an instant they become a willow rope.

Hu Xiao ran over and used the willow rope in his hand to tie his mother up tightly, just like tying willow branches.

Zhang Changyao freed up his hands and rushed to save Zhang Shuhua.

Like Zhang Kaiju, Zhang Shuhua also has a history of epilepsy.

Zhang Changyao was already used to it, so he wasn't afraid and carried Zhang Shuhua onto the donkey cart, laying her down flat.

They stuffed a corner of the blanket into her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue.

After doing all this, Zhang Changyao went through the door to see Guan Shuyun.

"Changyao, why are you so late? If you hadn't come soon, I would have been hacked to death here."

I'll never see you again; I've become a wronged ghost.

Guan Shuyun threw herself into Zhang Changyao's arms and cried loudly like a child.

"Sis, your butt is covered in blood."

Yang Wuni, who followed her in, immediately noticed the blood on Guan Shuyun's pants on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Shuyun, let's get to the health center right away, or we'll lose the baby."

Once Hu Xiaogang regained his composure, he lost his footing again.

He took a floral cloth bag out of the locked box and put it in his jacket pocket.

Carrying Guan Shuyun on his back, he was about to walk to the town's health center.

"Hu Xiao...Hu Xiao...you can't go like this...it won't work, it's too slow."

My older sister's belly is sensitive to pressure, so please don't push the baby out.

We put my aunt on the kang (heated brick bed) inside the house, and let my older sister lie on the donkey cart.

Zhang Changyao jumped up and down, calling out to Hu Xiao. Hu Xiao thought it made sense and carried Guan Shuyun back.

Zhang Changyao carried Zhang Shuhua into the house and placed her on the kang (a heated brick bed).

He casually tore off the lining of his shirt pocket, folded it into a ball, and stuffed it between Zhang Shuhua's teeth.

"Wu Ni, keep an eye on your aunt, she'll recover soon."

Hu Xiao and I went to the health center; it would be too late if we went any later.

"Remember to find a rope and tie Hu Xiao's mother up tightly," Zhang Changyao reminded Yang Wuni worriedly.

"Hurry up and leave! My aunt and I are fine. I have a sickle, what are you afraid of?"

Yang Wuni held up the sickle in her hand to show Zhang Changyao.

Zhang Changyao glanced at Hu Xiaoniang again to make sure she was alright, then drove the donkey cart away at breakneck speed.

"Shuyun, you can't get hurt! How could I live if something happened to you?"

Hu Xiao was on the car floor, holding Guan Shuyun and wailing like a mourner.

Enraged, Zhang Changyao hit him with the handle of his whip to tell him to shut up.

Guan Shuyun was so frightened that she dared not speak, staring blankly at Hu Xiao's face.

Whenever Hu Xiao sheds tears, he sheds tears too; if Hu Xiao doesn't cry, he doesn't cry either.

The doctor at the health center saw the donkey cart and tried to rush into the ward.

They all instinctively pressed their bodies against the wall, afraid to move.

"Whoa..."

Zhang Changyao shouted, tightened the reins, and pulled the donkey back from its uncontrollable hooves.

Before the donkey had even come to a complete stop, Hu Xiao carried Guan Shuyun and barged into the doctor's office.

"Doctor, help me... Doctor, help me..." Hu Xiao kept shouting.

"This house...this house..."

A short, plump nurse in her forties came over and waved.

Hu Xiao carried Guan Shuyun to the house she pointed to.

There was a bed in the room for examination. Following the instructions, Hu Xiao placed Guan Shuyun on the bed.

"What happened? Tell me..."

Following her in was a tall, thin female doctor in her thirties.

Before Hu Xiao could catch his breath, he came over and asked.

"My mother is crazy, she has a seizure, and it terrifies my wife."

Hu Xiaos succinctly explained the matter in just a few words.

The nurse wheeled Hu Xiao out of the room, and the two of them examined Guan Shuyun inside.

"Both the child and the adults are fine, and they have already taken the hemostatic medicine."

"I need to stay for a few days; I can't go home right away, it would be dangerous."

Half an hour later, the tall, thin doctor came out of the house and spoke to Hu Xiaoshuo, who was squatting on the ground holding his head.

"Hu Xiao, the doctor said it's nothing serious, you should thank him."

Zhang Changyao, who had just walked up to Hu Xiao, nudged the still bewildered Hu Xiao with his toe.

"Doctor... thank you..."

Hu Xiao's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, and he knelt down on the ground with a "thud".

Regardless of whether the doctor would accept it or not, he kowtowed several times with a series of loud thuds.

"This won't do...this won't do..."

The tall, thin doctor was quite frightened and helplessly squatted down to help Hu Xiao.

"Hu Xiao, you stay here with my older sister. I'm worried about Wu Ni, so I'll go back and check on her first."

Zhang Changyao was preoccupied with Yang Wuni, and without waiting for Hu Xiao's reply, he turned and left the hospital.

The onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only one person still leaning against the gate, peering into the courtyard, seemingly unsatisfied.

"Brother, do you have any rope at home? Could I borrow one?"

Yang Wuni said she was fine, but she was still afraid that Hu Xiaoniang would break free.

He went up to the middle-aged man who had very little hair left and greeted him.

"Sorry, we use all the ropes at home, we don't have any spares."

The middle-aged man, not one to be easily persuaded, made excuses to Yang Wuni.

"Brother, here, take this sickle. Could you find me a rope, please?"

Yang Wuni saw the middle-aged man's eyes darting around and knew that he was plotting against her.

"Brother, here, take the sickle. How about I lend you the rope?"

Yang Wuni gave him a generous discount, and the middle-aged man's face was already crinkled with smiles.

The middle-aged man took the sickle and walked straight north.

He returned shortly afterward with a rope and threw it on the ground.

"Brother, since you're so kind, could you do me one more favor?"

"I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient for me to squat down, so could you please tie Hu Xiaoniang up more securely?"

Yang Wuni looked pitifully at the middle-aged man, who couldn't bear it either, so he picked up the rope and started to tie up Hu Xiaoniang.

"Wu Ni... Wu Ni..."

"Where are your older sister and Changyao?" Zhang Shuhua recovered and searched the inner and outer rooms.

"Auntie, my older sister had a blood disorder, and the others went to the health center."

Yang Wuni went into the house only after seeing that Hu Xiaoniang had tied her up like a rice dumpling.

"It's good to walk this path. If it weren't for her pregnancy, your older sister wouldn't have chosen this route."

"Only by ending this wicked path can I find a good family to marry into in the future."

Zhang Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter in her heart.

"Aunt, it's Hu Xiaoniang's fault, not Hu Xiao's fault for treating my older sister badly."

You shouldn't pin all the blame for his mother's mistakes on Hu Xiao.

Yang Wuni was still trying to find excuses for Hu Xiao and Guan Shuyun.

"Yes, it's Hu Xiaoniang. This crazy woman is trying to kill my daughter."

I'll strangle her with a rope right now and see if she'll still pretend to be crazy afterwards.
