Chapter 216 Parents Who Prefer Sons to Daughters 3
By midnight, Qingmo was full of energy. She treated herself to a barbecue and beer before leaving the space. It was time to cause some trouble.
His divine sense swept across the mountains and found traces of wolves. He used his mental power to control the alpha wolf, which then led five or six other wolves down the mountain, heading straight for the Jiang family.
It was the middle of the night, and everyone in the village was asleep, so no one noticed anything amiss. By the time they heard the screams, it was too late.
The wolf pack is incredibly fast, and since the person was asleep and unprepared, it was quite easy for them to succeed. After all, Qingmo controlled the alpha wolf, and there's a big difference between actions with and without command.
Having completed her mission, Qingmo sent the wolf back up the mountain. She didn't bother with anything else and went back to sleep, planning to check on Renao during the day after she woke up.
The next day, Qingmo slept until noon, treated herself to a roast duck meal, ate her fill to get rid of the odor on her body, and then carried a basket of pig feed down the mountain.
She deliberately walked to a place where there were people so that others could see her. Sure enough, an old lady saw her and immediately ran over to pull her away.
"Oh dear, isn't this Qing'er? Qing'er, where have you been? Such a big thing happened to your family, what are you still doing here?"
Qingmo tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Aunt Cui, what's wrong? I... I made my mother angry yesterday, and I was afraid of getting beaten, so I just found a place to sleep for the night. I was just about to go home."
Aunt Cui patted Qingmo's little head and said with pity, "Oh, I don't know whether to praise you for being lucky or unlucky. Last night, a wolf came down from the mountain and broke into your house, biting your brothers and parents. The brigade leader has already sent people to the town hospital, but they haven't come back yet, and we don't know how they are."
Qingmo looked anxious and hurriedly said, "Oh no, how could this happen? Auntie, are my mother and brother alright? Waaah, it's all my fault, I wish I were home."
"Silly child, how can I blame you? If you were here, you might not even be alive. It would be a terrible thing. I heard that the only men in your family... well, never mind, you're just a child and you wouldn't understand. You should go home now."
Aunt Cui hesitated, looked at Qingmo, who was so small, and finally said nothing. She didn't want to offend the child's ears.
As she walked home, everyone who saw Qingmo looked at her with pity and sighed that she was lucky to be the only one in her family who was unharmed. Qingmo lowered her eyes and pretended to be sad. Once she got home and closed the gate, she put away her pitiful look.
The house was a mess and hadn't been tidied up yet. Tables and chairs were scattered all over the floor, and the door was broken. Everything was a mess. Qingmo ignored it and hummed a little tune as she walked into Huang Meihua's room.
She rummaged through the closet for clean sheets and blankets to change. From today onwards, this room belonged to her. As for that dilapidated woodshed, let whoever wants to live there live there.
Like inspecting his territory, he boiled all the eggs in the house and put them in his space. Hmm, there are still chickens in the henhouse that the original owner painstakingly fed. Wouldn't it be very impolite not to kill one and eat it?
He simply tossed it into his spatial storage and let Jue Er prepare it. After the meal, he served up some fruit and ate it with relish.
Qingmo searched the house for all the money, but there wasn't a single penny. She probably knew that so many people were injured and that going to the hospital would cost money, so Huang Meihua took the money with her.
Qingmo didn't care. How much money could this family possibly have? They'd probably struggle to even pay the medical bills.
The situation was indeed the same for the Jiang family. All seven members of the family were bitten, but Huang Meihua's injury was the least serious; she only needed some medicine, a tetanus shot, and a few stitches.
The other men in the family are in a different situation; they all need surgery to stop the bleeding and be hospitalized. Given their family's circumstances, they simply cannot afford it.
My total savings amount to only 85.67 yuan. It's enough for a day or two, but I definitely can't afford it for longer. It's not just medical expenses, but also food and drink.
Besides, it's not just one or two people, there are six of them. Who can be hospitalized, and who can stay home? These are the lifeblood of the Jiang family.
Oh! Their lifeblood? Thinking of this, Huang Meihua beat her chest and stamped her feet, wishing she could take the blame for her precious sons.
"Oh my God! What are we going to do? My husband, wake up! Our world has collapsed! My son, waaaaah..."
Huang Meihua was crying her eyes out, and the captain and the others standing nearby looked a little embarrassed. They wanted to say something to comfort her, but they didn't know how. After all, no one would feel comfortable in this situation.
Captain: "Debon's wife, things have already come to this, don't be too sad. Try to think positively. Although the children are no longer a family, at least their lives have been saved. That wolf is really strange, it actually likes to eat that stuff. Please accept my condolences."
The captain's son said, "Dad, how could nothing happen? If I didn't have that thing, I'd rather be dead. Dong Yi and the others would be finished, not even as good as my wife."
Upon hearing this, Huang Meihua cried even harder, "My husband, my son, ruined, completely ruined! My son hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already a eunuch! What are we going to do? Why don't they just kill our whole family? This is making the Jiang family line end! Waaah..."
Seeing that Huang Meihua was crying even harder, the captain glared at his son and said, "Debang's wife, don't listen to this child's nonsense. He's a grown man and he can't even speak properly. You can have another big, healthy son with Debang later."
The captain's son interjected, "Dad, you're getting senile again. My Uncle Debang was bitten too, and he's neither male nor female anymore. Why would he have a child? You're such a fool."
The captain glared and slapped his foolish son on the back of the head. "You talk too much. If you can't speak properly, then shut up, you silly deer."
The son, unconvinced, snorted twice and retorted, "Hmph, it's like I'm the only one who talks a lot, and you don't. If you don't want to talk, why should I?"
Captain: "You..."
The noise continued, and the nurse yelled at them, "What's all the noise about? This is a hospital. If you keep making a scene, go home and cause trouble. Family members, please be quiet and don't disturb the other patients."
The captain quickly apologized, "Okay, okay, comrade, we won't say anything more."
After saying that, he glared at his son and then said to Huang Meihua, "Debang's wife, you stay here at the hospital and take good care of things. We have to go back to the village to work. If you need anything, just let us know. If we need money, we can borrow some from the brigade and deduct it from our work points next year. We'll get through this together."
Huang Meihua nodded numbly, too weak to say anything more. Not to mention the injury on her leg, she was mainly heartbroken. The Jiang family's lineage had been severed, which was like a bolt from the blue.
You have to understand that Jiang Debang is the only son in his family. His parents passed away early. Now that he has encountered such a disaster, not only is his lineage gone, but people will also talk about him behind his back. How can they ever face anyone again?
Oh dear! What a terrible thing to do.
